[Dark, unstable, domineering CEO top x emotionally detached, sickly beauty bottom]
The man seated in the private room's place of honor casually accepted the drink Jiang Siyi handed him. Noticing Jiang Siyi shy away, he chuckled. “Don't want me to touch you?”
The private room was noisy. When the other man didn't answer, Zhou Shijing didn't get annoyed. Instead, he asked,
“Can you sing? Name your price.”
“Two hundred thousand.” The speaker named an outrageous price, but his eyes were filled with weary, numb indifference.
“Are you that short on money?” Zhou Shijing raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Siyi. “Go on, sing.”
“I don't need the money anymore.” Jiang Siyi smiled. “I'm sorry, sir. I'm not feeling well. Let me get someone else to serve you, and I'll refund you.”
“I told you, you're a clever man, Jiang Siyi.” Zhou Shijing dropped the pretense. “I need someone around to keep me entertained.”
“And if I say no?”
“You have no reason to. Instead of pouring drinks and smiling for all sorts of customers at the bar like before to earn that five hundred thousand, I think my offer will be more appealing.”
Jiang Siyi smiled. “Is there really any fundamental difference between the two?”
“No difference,” Zhou Shijing answered honestly. “But wouldn't it be easier to live this way?”
An easier life... In the end, Jiang Siyi nodded and accepted Zhou Shijing's offer to be together.
It was exhausting to struggle everywhere for a few scraps of silver. Jiang Siyi suddenly wanted to try living another way.
Looking at the marks on Jiang Siyi's neck, Zhou Shijing's eyes turned bloodshot. “What does he have that I don't? More money than me? Or is he better at getting you into bed?”
“He doesn't live in a dream world, Zhou Shijing.” Jiang Siyi's gaze was calm. “What we have has always been a transaction: you get what you want from my looks, and I get your money. Don't pretend this relationship is some kind of sacred love.”
“Then what about everything you said before? Were you lying to me all along?” Zhou Shijing tried to find signs of a lie on Jiang Siyi's pale little face.
But all he saw in the other's eyes was scorn.
“Trying to play at true love with someone as easy as me? You must think very highly of yourself, Mr. Zhou.”
A pebble, tossed carelessly into a shadowy alley, had been chilled to the core by the winter wind, until Zhou Shijing picked it up.
It's very warm and sweet. Love is mutual. If I were to describe it, it would be as indifferent and calm as water, including the second male lead letting go at the end. Love is fulfillment and blessing.
Dual male protagonists, double cleansing, he, the author wrote it well🥳This book really exceeded my expectations. I have read many stories similar to the gold master and the canary, but this is different, very different. Zhou Shijing had never known Jiang Siyi before, but she still loved him sincerely. The contract was just a reason to keep him by her side. Zhou Shijing did not alternately be hot and cold towards Jiang Siyi. Si Yi ignored or imprisoned her. It really seemed like she was in love, playing with Jiang Si Yi and buying him gifts. There was a conflict in the middle of seven or eight chapters. It was because of Aunt Lin's handiwork, but Zhou Shijing never let go. Later, the misunderstanding was quickly resolved, and there was no awkwardness. Of course, they were still together sweetly during the one-month inspection period. If you plant flowers in your heart, your life will not be barren.
It's a great novel. The number of articles on 🍅 has been increasing in recent years. I lost interest after reading most of it. This one is different. The word count is well controlled and the content is substantial. It doesn't constantly add a lot of unnecessary characters. It just lacks extras (@, you know what I mean [note]) ㊗️Teacher Xiaoyi and Shijing have been together for a long time 😘
It's so perfect that I have nothing to say. It's a short story that's finished. The writing is very good, and it's about daily life. It's very comfortable to read, and I'm not tired. I'll read it again when I have time (the only drawback is that I don't know if it's double c). But it's still the same bloody old routine later on, and it's very embarrassing to watch, especially around Chapter 47.
Why don't you all go and see 💕? Jiang is a very sensitive and beautiful little bunny, and Zhou is a very secure and smart bear🐻. There is no big villain, he does some very disgusting things, and the whole story feels like a favorite.
It's super good-looking. Although it's a short article, it's really not watery. It has everything. This is the most emotionally complete novel I've ever read. I really like it. Suitable for multiple brushes 🥰🥰🥰 Can the author write more stories with two male protagonists? It would be really interesting. Second brush ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ [admiration]
A very nice daily article 😳 The characterization and emotional description are both great [smirk] There's not much problem with the writing 😄 😄 It's sweet, with a bit of glass shards, but it doesn't hinder eating 😘 😘
I read this novel in the middle of the night. I read the introduction and read it. I thought it was OK. I hope they can always be sweet. When I read the middle and back parts, I felt sad. I felt he was sick and I felt sorry for him. The ending was good. I hope they can be happy forever.
It's a sweet daily sweet story, but the misunderstandings in the middle and later parts are a bit cliche. If the two people communicated well, they wouldn't be like that. I felt sorry for Xiao Jiang during the period after they quarreled, but the ending was still happy. It was a good sweet story.
Good-looking, good-looking, good-looking
