Chapter 52 Pure White Flower Stamens

Jiang Yu: "How did you manage to become someone else?"

Qiao Xiao: "Shh, this is a secret, don't tell anyone."

"I'm not 18 yet, I'm not an adult, how can I rent a house?"

Jiang Yu: "So, you're working too?"

Qiao Xiao: "Yes, I also work part-time as a butler for a young master. It's like making breakfast and arranging the day's schedule. It doesn't take up much time."

"If you ask me how I got this job, I can only say that I saved him, that's all."

Jiang Yu: "Then you don't need to take a taxi, just ride in my car."

Qiao Xiao: "I don't want to steal other people's work. I won't ride in your car if you do this."

Jiang Yu: "But you saved my life, more than once. That rainy night, at that hotel, with those people chasing me, it was you who helped me. I owe you three lives, and I can never repay you in this lifetime."

Qiao Xiao: "If you really want to repay my kindness, study hard and continue to be the top student in the school. Don't spend the rest of your time looking for me. I'll come to you if I need anything."

"Also, let's not walk together after school. If you have anything to say, just come to my house."

Jiang Yu couldn't understand why the girl in front of him, who was the same age as him, was so mature and composed, as if it were innate.

System notification: "Jiang Yu's favorability has increased by 10. Jiang Yu's current favorability is 75."

Qiao Xiao: "Is Jiang Yu's initial favorability really that high?"

System: "There is an unknown affinity, which will be revealed after the host's identity is known."

Qiao Xiao: "Mm."

Upon hearing footsteps, the system notification indicated that the head of the teaching department had arrived.

The head of discipline had his hair slicked back and was wearing leather shoes and a suit.

He knocked on the door: "Jiang Yu, are you there?"

Qiao Xiao opened the door. "Director, we're here to learn."

The head of the teaching department nodded slightly awkwardly, "Why is no one answering the door after knocking for so long?"

Jiang Yu: "My parents took my younger sister out."

Dean of Students: "Is this Yan Rui's home?"

Qiao Xiao: "Yes, Director, please come in."

Their schoolbags were all placed on the dining table.

Dean of Students: "Why are the books here?"

Qiao Xiao: "Is it really appropriate to let Jiang go to my private bedroom, Director?"

The head of the teaching department looked around and, upon hearing Qiao Xiao's words, couldn't help but smile: "You're quite wary of people, that's good!"

He didn't sit down, but stood at the doorway, speaking with the door open: "I mainly came here to visit Jiang Yu's home, but it didn't work out. I'll try again next time."

Seeing you all studying so well puts my mind at ease. That's all; don't get into relationships.

Qiao Xiao and Jiang Yu looked at each other, and Qiao Xiao immediately said, "We won't."

The head of the teaching department nodded affirmatively, "I will pay attention to your grades in the next monthly exam, so please take it seriously."

Qiao Xiao felt inexplicably warmed.

They answered in unison, "We know."

No wonder Jiang Yu is so naive; it turns out he has a group of adults protecting him.

The head of the teaching department left.

Qiao Xiao: "It's getting late, I should go take care of my young master."

Jiang Yu: "I'll take you."

Qiao Xiao: "Great, perfect timing to go change into a new outfit."

She went into her room, and the summoning system changed her appearance, revealing a mature and charming tall woman.

They really were one person, and Jiang Yu witnessed this scene in shock once again.

Qiao Xiao: "Let's go."

Jiang Yu: "You agree."

Qiao Xiao: "Okay, I've placed the order. Please accept it."

Jiang Yu: "I... that's not what I meant."

Qiao Xiao: "But this is what I mean, do you accept it or not?"

Jiang Yu looked at her silently and said, "Okay."

On the way, Qiao Xiao, sitting in the back seat, asked Jiang Yu.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

Jiang Yu: "I don't know, I haven't thought about it."

Qiao Xiao: "Isn't there anything you long for?"

Jiang Yu glanced at Qiao Xiao through the mirror, her eyes flickering with an indescribable ambiguity.

"money."

Qiao Xiao: "What? Money?"

Jiang Yu: "Yes, just like the young master who applied for your job, he's rich."

Qiao Xiao looked out the window at the golden sky through the purple-red gauze curtains. "I don't know what I want to do. Even if I have a goal to study hard now, I don't know what I will become in the future."

Her eyes were numb and empty; she possessed the ability to pity all living beings, yet she could not save herself.

Jiang Yu: "Let's go out after the college entrance exam! Let's use the money we earned to have some fun."

His voice was clear, like water in a cave, cold and ethereal, yet revealing a unique youthful innocence.

"He's still just a kid at heart," Qiao Xiao sighed.

"Okay," she replied listlessly, a rare hint of expectation flickering in her eyes.

The road was neither too long nor too short, and we arrived just before nightfall.

Qiao Xiao: "Be careful on your way back," she instructed.

Jiang Yu: "I'll call you when I get home."

Qiao Xiao nodded slightly.

As she turned around, the smile she had managed to hold onto vanished.

She felt a sense of disgust towards herself. Now, she felt like an old hag, draining the world's life force. The dazzling bloom of youth was perhaps pricking her.

She didn't want to become like Liu Ye, and in order to maintain her youthful spirit, she tried her best to catch the last vestiges of youth.

She was almost 30 when she died.

"Old man." She looked up at the sky and blurted out, then strolled leisurely toward the villa as if nothing had happened.

Qiao Xiao possesses a sense of loneliness inherent in the strong and a fatalistic fragility, like the only leaf left to fall after a storm, swaying uncertainly in all directions, just to find a place to bury the fragrance of death.

She's a liar without talent, but a natural actress.

Jiang Yu was driving alone on the road, and he still hadn't asked what that "like" meant that day.

Is it a liking between people of the same kind?

That rainy night, he was prepared to fight to the death, but unexpectedly, something happened that saved him.

How could he not be aware of the killing intent and bloodlust inherent in her?

She said she was naive, but she didn't know that those corpses had already turned into ashes in their coffins.

He did that a few days after burying the person.

Jiang Yu: "I can't find you, Yan Rui."

"You will become the flower bud in my palm, and from now on, I will definitely protect you."

His eyes were fierce, and he possessed the air of a refined scoundrel, making him incredibly alluring.

The original plan was for him to do all of this himself, but some damned step went wrong, and he was successfully outmaneuvered.

"I will definitely become stronger, strong enough that you can rely on me, Yan Rui."

He is a stubborn person; he will get what he wants no matter what.

Just because you said you won't in high school doesn't mean you won't in the future. I will hold onto you tightly until the end of my life.

Jiang Yu, who created the rabbit burrow but became a venomous snake lurking inside, appears harmless but is actually a predator waiting for its chance to strike.
