Chapter 687: Chapter 421 Twin Perfection_3
Aunt Gu said, "It’s late at night, where are you going?"
"I’m going to have Jiang Ning dry my hair."
Feeling the warmth and coldness of human relationships from her mother, Xue Yuantong decided to seek out Jiang Ning for some fun.
"I can dry it for you," Aunt Gu said. "Jiang Ning should be sleeping."
"Mom, Jiang Ning does it comfortably." Dropping this line, Xue Yuantong left the house.
Aunt Gu watched her daughter’s retreating figure, wanting to say something but said nothing, letting her go.
Jiang Ning was well aware of the situation on their side, having probed it with Divine Sense. When Xue Yuantong arrived, he plugged in the hairdryer.
Xue Yuantong curled up on her dedicated throne, languidly leaning back, her thick tresses cascading down.
Jiang Ning picked up a strand of hair, and instead of using the hairdryer’s breeze, he opted to release a wind Spell, condensing the moisture in the air to gradually dry Xue Yuantong’s hair. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
The gentle breeze tickled Xue Yuantong, making her feel particularly comfortable, and she blissfully squinted her eyes.
After a full ten minutes, Jiang Ning turned off the hairdryer that was just for show.
Xue Yuantong touched her hair, no longer damp but dry and clean, feeling particularly soft; she twined her fingers around it twice.
Jiang Ning was amazing, drying her hair so well.
Previously, every time she washed her hair, drying it was the most troublesome part, it was really hard for Xue Yuantong, but ever since she had Jiang Ning, drying hair became a pleasure.
She wished she could come to him to dry her hair after every wash.
Without waiting for Jiang Ning to remind her, Xue Yuantong said, "I’ll put a hair drying session on your tab."
She wouldn’t let Jiang Ning dry her hair for nothing; in return, she had to pay a price, which was her principle, Xue Yuantong’s principle of an equivalent exchange.
"Do you want to withdraw now, or should we keep it on account?" She swiveled her chair to face Jiang Ning.
"Withdraw now," Jiang Ning said.
Xue Yuantong got into a professional mode, speaking earnestly, "Hello, what service do you require at the moment?"
At this instant, her demeanor was that of a dedicated server.
Only, the loose and casual pajamas betrayed Xue Yuantong’s external appearance.
Having finished his shower, Jiang Ning leaned back on the couch and closed his eyes; after being busy for a while, it was his turn to enjoy.
"First, tell me what you can do?" Jiang Ning’s tone was casual.
When it came to things she could do, Xue Yuantong’s face lit up, "I can cook, whether it’s stir-fry, braising, or making snacks, I can do it all, whatever you want to eat, I’ll make it for you tomorrow."
She couldn’t help salivating at the thought.
"Hmm, and what else?"
Xue Yuantong continued, "I’m good at homework, no matter the subject, I can write the papers with ease!"
She looked at Jiang Ning expectantly, hoping he would choose this so she could quickly settle her debt with him.
"And?"
"I’m awesome at gaming too. I’m at King Rank. Playing Hearthstone, I can dominate the ladder without spending a cent!"
"Hmm? Continue?" Jiang Ning asked.
Xue Yuantong kept boasting about her strengths, and Jiang Ning asked her over a dozen times. She talked non-stop, showing how skilled she was. In the midst of it, she sneakily ate two pieces of Jiang Ning’s candied fruits and drank half a glass of water.
After a while, Jiang Ning suddenly asked, "Since you’re so capable of many things, is there anything you can’t do?"
He wanted to see how Xue Yuantong dealt with her own shortcomings.
Xue Yuantong gave him a sidelong glance, seeing right through his intention.
She knew about astronomy and geography, being top in any profession; what in the world could she not understand?
Of course, these were not things she could currently say to Jiang Ning, as she maintained her role as a debtor.
Xue Yuantong sat cross-legged on the chair, her skin flushed with a pale pink hue from the bath. The moon’s bright light streaming through the window combined with the indoor lighting gave her an ethereal glow.
Her soft, petite body emitted a faint scent.
"The things I cannot do..."
Within her clear, bright eyes flashed intelligence, and after a moment, her eyelashes lifted coyly, thinking of a perfect response:
"I can’t... I can’t ever leave you."
