Jiang Shaoxu lay on Lü Cheng's back, looking utterly defeated, and didn't want to say a word.
She finally understood why Mu Ningxue didn't show the slightest displeasure when she saw her flirting with Lü Cheng.
We lost! Utterly defeated!
When the talkative girl meets the real guy, this newbie is completely powerless to fight back!
The pleas for mercy in the film were acted out; she genuinely couldn't take it anymore.
"Hey, seriously, what number am I?" Jiang Shaoxu asked inexplicably.
“Three,” Lü Cheng said.
"Huh?" Jiang Shaoxu was taken aback.
"Really?"
She thought that bastard had slept with at least double digits, after all, Zhao Manyan had boasted to Mo Fan on the ship that he had at least triple digits of his slept with.
She could tell that Zhao Manyan wasn't joking. After all, that guy's circumstances were what they were; the life of a rich young master was indeed that outrageous.
But Lü Cheng only has this much?
"You think I sleep with every girl I meet?" Lu Cheng said speechlessly.
“I’m not that thirsty, at most I just lack love on a psychological level, so I hope to have more people around me who care about me.”
"I did have some doubts before," Jiang Shaoxu said with a strange expression.
"But I never expected you to be so innocent."
Among the young masters from prominent families she knew, even those who appeared refined and proper on the surface were all philanderers behind the scenes!
Two-digit numbers are common, and even three-digit numbers like Zhao Manyan's are quite common.
Lu Cheng's conditions are so few; they can truly be described as pure and simple!
The "one love for life" stories in movies are just for kids. The people who write these things have probably never even held a woman's hand and don't understand what love is. Love isn't as beautiful as writers imagine; it's a very real thing.
Moreover, the higher up society goes, the more vulgar people become; the more pretentious and hypocritical they are, the more disgusting they are.
Therefore, she had disliked Guan Yu before, and compared to him, Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan, who were always lecherous, were much more pleasing to the eye.
“You really do look like Mu Ningxue,” Jiang Shaoxu said.
At first, she didn't actually like Mu Ningxue. After all, what she disliked most was that kind of saintly, icy demeanor, just like Guan Yu, that pretentious young master who was annoying.
But after getting to know her, she realized that Mu Ningxue was just emotionally closed off, or rather, she didn't know how to express her feelings. She was always a bit arrogant in front of Lü Cheng, but when things happened, she was much more reliable than Mo Fan, who was always making a fuss.
Lü Cheng is also quite reserved emotionally; the two of them have very similar personalities.
However, Lü Cheng is good at pretending. Even if he doesn't like something, he rarely shows it. It's almost an unconscious habit of his.
This personality trait is most likely related to childhood experiences...
"Don't even think about using your super brain to analyze the truth," Lü Cheng said.
"If you want to know something, just ask. I'll tell you what I'm willing to tell you, and you'll never guess what I'm not willing to tell you, no matter how hard you try."
"So... how long will our relationship last?" Jiang Shaoxu asked.
"Don't talk to me about forever, I don't believe in that nonsense."
"How long do you want?" Lu Cheng asked.
"I don't know," Jiang Shaoxu whispered in Lü Cheng's ear.
"If I could, I would like to keep going up this staircase forever."
"However, judging from your expression, I'm losing confidence in myself."
The truth may be hard to hear, but the length of a relationship largely depends on the mutual interest between the two people involved.
Interests encompass many things, including ability, wealth, and appearance.
Once interest fades, even if you were inseparable yesterday, you might go your separate ways tomorrow.
Unlike strategy games, feelings are born in an instant and disappear in an instant. There is no progress bar; they come unexpectedly and leave silently.
"Are you worried?" Lu Cheng asked.
"Hmm..." Jiang Shaoxu nodded.
She flirted with many people, but it was all for fun. After all, it was quite interesting to see those men so infatuated and at a loss. She didn't think it was wrong for men to have feelings for women; it was just human instinct.
If you like beautiful things, delicious food, and fun activities, why hold back when you only have so much time in your life?
A pretentious gentleman? Who's he trying to impress?
You feel miserable keeping it all inside, and others find it disgusting to watch. What's the point?
Lu Cheng was the first person she couldn't flirt with at all, but that didn't mean he wasn't interested in her. On the contrary, from the first time they met, Lu Cheng never hid his feelings for her, and he even brought out things like a love token, a dragon egg, and other keepsakes.
She liked him openly and honestly, without resorting to any scheming or cunning. She was genuine, which is why she had a very good first impression of Lü Cheng.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be so casual. She, the Jiang family, wasn't so poor that she couldn't afford to eat. She wouldn't risk her life for a piece of stone and an egg.
No one can force her to do something she doesn't want to do, and she won't wrong herself.
“Then you should put in more effort to keep me interested in you,” Lü Cheng said.
Jiang Shaoxu's eye twitched slightly. "Hey, shouldn't you say something sweet at a time like this, like 'baby,' or 'how could I possibly abandon you?'"
“All those sweet words you say are just lies, don’t you know that?” Lu Cheng said.
“...That’s true.” Jiang Shaoxu nodded, then suddenly grabbed Lü Cheng’s neck.
"But! You're going to turn your back on me now, aren't you?"
“You’re the one who pulled down my pants!” Lu Cheng retorted.
"Did I tell you to stand up?" Jiang Shaoxu said disdainfully.
"Who said they have complete control over their own bodies?"
"What, you're going to deny it after you've taken advantage of me?"
Lü Cheng nodded. "We do have that plan."
"..."
"Let me go!" Jiang Shaoxu's eyes reddened as she struggled to break free.
"You bastard! I don't want it anymore!"
"No more!"
"Don't want it anymore?" Lu Cheng exerted a little force, tossing Jiang Shaoxu into the air and catching her in his arms.
"You don't want anything anymore?"
Jiang Shaoxu, her eyes red, turned her head away, "Just consider it as being taken advantage of by a pig! I don't want it anymore!"
"You don't want me anymore?"
"No more!"
"Really?"
"No more!"
Seeing Jiang Shaoxu gritting her teeth, huffing and puffing, and even trembling all over, Lü Chengshi found it rather amusing.
"Angry?"
Jiang Shaoxu didn't speak, biting her lip and turning her head to the side, not wanting to see this bastard.
Even if you know it's a joke, can't you at least consider the situation? Giving her this right after she gets out of bed? How can she not feel uncomfortable?
With a leap, Lü Cheng teleported several times over long distances, bringing Jiang Shaoxu to the clouds.
"What...what do you want to do?" Jiang Shaoxu looked at the clouds below with some panic.
“Haven’t you always suspected that I wasn’t human?” Lu Cheng said.
"I'm really not human."
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong, colorful light emanated from Lü Cheng's body, so intense that even Jiang Shaoxu, a light-element mage, couldn't open her eyes.
The energy surge, filled with light and heat, lasted for nearly a minute before Jiang Shaoxu finally managed to open her eyes.
Its massive body, hundreds of feet tall and as large as a mountain, hovered in the air, covered with colorful scales. Under the sunlight, it was sometimes as green as jade, sometimes as bright as a ruby, and sometimes as deep as a sapphire. The various colors intertwined, like a flowing ribbon of color.
A pair of enormous wings, hundreds of meters wide, resemble two huge colorful scrolls. The edges of the wings are as light as gauze, fluttering gently with the airflow, creating ripples of brilliant colors.
Its head is majestic and sacred, with a pair of jewel-like dragon horns that shimmer with silver light. Its pupils seem to contain the stars of the universe, deep and mysterious. Its whiskers are flowing and dance in the wind, each one as if carefully woven from gold and silver threads, shining with a soft luster.
“So beautiful…” Jiang Shaoxu stared blankly at the colorful dragon in front of her.
“I think so too.” Lu Cheng fluttered his wings slightly, and a gust of wind swirled around him. His enormous body began to shrink rapidly at a visible speed. In just a few breaths, he transformed into a miniature dragon only a few dozen meters long and flew in front of Jiang Shaoxu.
"Acheng?" Jiang Shaoxu's mind was a little confused.
"What, you look different now, you can't even recognize your voice?" Lü Cheng moved his body, entangled Jiang Shaoxu in the middle, and brought his huge head close to her face.
"You are... a dragon?" Jiang Shaoxu was a little confused.
A giant, undulating dragon with wings on its back—such a dragon does exist in Eastern legends.
