Chapter 99: I’ll tease you a little~

“Let’s talk on video.”

“Mmmmmm!”

Jiang Ningle then sent a video invitation to Asaba Li Xiang.

When Li Xiang got through, she saw Jiang Ningle dressed up, wearing a lavender knitted dress, a small bag over her shoulder and two pretty little earrings in her earlobes.

“Wow, Le Le you look great today!”

“I can’t see you eh, it’s dark on your side, where are you?”

“I’m under the covers.”

“?”

Jiang Ningle was a bit speechless and nodded her earrings to her with her small hand, “This is a confession gift from Li Jing, is it nice?”

Asaba Li Xiang was so envious and felt so sour inside that she lifted the blanket and showed Jiang Ningle the pile of dolls that Shen Yu had won for her last night: “These are the dolls that Shen Yu took me to win last night, aren’t they super cute?”

The two boasted about each other, each complimenting the other on the gift they had received, and were satisfied.

” Le Le , are you outside now?”

“Mmmmmm, I’m waiting for Li Jing and I’ve got a date to go to the movies today.”

“It’s a date eh! So envious!”

“Are you at Shen Yu’s house now?”

“Yeah …… I’m staying in his room …… so I have to keep my voice down …… in case he hears me… …”

“I envy you even more now that you’re living in his house!”

The two men bragged to each other some more, each complimenting the other’s current situation to their heart’s content.

It’s all about the girls’ videos, talking about their makeup, how they’ve put on weight, or showing them what they’re doing.

And boys, no video on.

Finally back to business, Jiang Ningle reminded Asaba Li Xiang in a serious way.

” Li Xiang, you must be calm and control your feelings, you must not confess on impulse, you will be super passive!”

“I, I know, I thought about it last night, in fact, from what I know about Shen Yu, if I confess to him now, I will definitely be rejected and kicked out of the house ……”

Asaba Li Xiang said bitterly, “But I don’t know what to do except to think of confessing.”

Jiang Ningle reassured her, “It’s okay, the fact that you thought of that means you’re still saved, if you had confessed last night, it would have been hopeless, not to mention Shen Yu wouldn’t have said yes to you, even if he didn’t let you move out, your relationship would have become awkward and there would have been little chance of a second confession.”

Asaba Li Xiang can imagine that outcome, after all, if she confesses now, Shen Yu is unlikely to say yes to her, and will even start to distance herself from her, which basically means that all her work will be lost, and if they are still living under the same roof, it will be embarrassing to think about it.

Asaba Li Xiang has of course received confessions from other boys throughout her life, but she has always rejected them in fear, and then walked away from them when she saw them.

“What am I supposed to do then ……”

“Wait for him to confess to you, ah, when the time comes to say yes or no, the initiative will be yours.”

“So, what does Shen Yu have to do to confess to me?”

“Let’s start with an analysis.”

Jiang Ningle says thoughtfully, “First you have to have a clear judgement about Shen Yu, and now we know that he doesn’t hate you 100%, then that’s a very good start!”

“As long as he doesn’t hate you, you’ll always have a chance with him!”

“So then, you need to watch him carefully again to see if he might like you, like the questions I just asked you, so you can use them as a reference, or test him out sideways to get a feel for his relationship ideas and figure out his attitude.”

“So deep oh ……”

“silly na, let me give you an example, like you can secretly touch his hand and see if he will avoid it, or ask him when he plans to get married, what kind of girls he likes, so many many ways to test the waters!”

“Oooooh! I get it!”

Looking at the screen, Asaba Li Xiang’s eyes glowing, Jiang Ningle wanted to say something, she always felt that what she said and what she understood probably did not mean the same ……

So again, he cautioned, “You mustn’t act too obviously until you’re sure he likes you, so that he notices that you like him, and unless he likes you, he’ll definitely alienate you silently! A too obvious liking is no different from a confession!”

“So that’s how it is! I get it again!”

Asaba Li Xiang nodded her head and said that learning from Jiang Ningle was the right thing to do and she felt that she had learnt a lot.

Jiang Ningle rolled his eyes and Li Xiang’s face was almost written in big letters with a brush: Shen Yu! Love! I’m super sweet! And for free!

Only to ask her, “What do you understand?”

“Just don’t get too close to Shen Yu!”

“Er, yes and no, you have to get a degree of distance, that is, you can’t be too distant or too close.”

“It’s so complicated. …… So why should I be close to Shen Yu if I can’t let him know I like him?”

“That’s called teasing, my silly sister yo.”

Seeing Asaba Li Xiang’s confused look, Jiang Ningle had to explain, “It’s about making him feel like there’s a kitten scratching his heart, making him look and focus on you.”

“Like what?”

“Do you know which of a girl’s movements is the most attractive?”

“……”

Asaba Li Xiang thought for a moment, then some scenes from a girl’s manga came to her mind and she blushed and said hurriedly, “No way! I’m so shy! And Shen Yu won’t like it!”

Jiang Ningle blushed oddly and asked her, “Where were you thinking, stretching, biting your lip and tossing your hair! Three of the most charming moves!”

Asaba Li Xiang was so enlightened and enlightened that it was like an enlightening experience!

Jiang Ningle was pleased to see her look like a teachable child.

“Le Le, what do you think my chances are of catching Shen Yu?” Asaba Li Xiang looked a little unsure of himself.

“Do you know the old Chinese saying that love grows with time?”

“Know know know.”

“So, you must not be in a hurry, there is an old saying that the road to Rome was not built in a day, you have to take your time.”

“I know, and the fact that the heart is in a hurry!”

“Yes, that’s the point.”

Jiang Ningle recognised Asaba Li Xiang’s intelligence and resourcefulness and gave her the confidence to say, “In my opinion, as long as you don’t give up, your success rate will be at least 90 per cent!”

“So high!” Asaba Li Xiang had a little snigger again.

“You have to be clear about your strengths, firstly, you’re pretty and cute, you can cook, you’re gentle and sweet, and you can help him at work.”

“Secondly, you eat and live with him! What a great advantage that is! Even if it’s a stinky rock, it’s only a matter of time before it gets soaked in water every day!”

“Thirdly, Shen Yu, he doesn’t have any contact with other girls! That means you don’t have a single competitor! Do you understand what a concept that is!”

Asaba Li Xiang took a deep breath and said with a straight face, “So Shen Yu can only marry me!!!”

“You’re giving it away for nothing again ……”

“Sorry ……”

“Take your time, I’m always on your side, Li Xiang, go for it! My boyfriend is here, I won’t talk to you anymore, bye~”

At the end of the video, Jiang Ningle shows her Li Jing walking towards her with a bouquet of flowers, and Li Xiang looks envious.

I don’t know how long it will be before Shen Yu sends her flowers.

We can’t wait until we’re a hundred or eighty years old before he limps around with a cane and holds a wreath for her ……

……

It was just after 2pm when Shen Yu knocked on the door.

“Are you awake yet.”

“Wake up, wake up!”

Shen Yu then came in with a freshly frozen ice pack and asked her to hold her feet out to him.

Li Xiang was very good today and after a morning of cold compresses and medication, the redness and swelling had subsided a little and Shen Yu looked a little relieved.

He gently propped her foot up on a small stool, gave her a cold compress, sprayed her with medicine, and then came out with another bottle of black ointment.

” Shen Yu , what is this ……”

“My mother asked someone to buy it at noon, the old bruise doctor himself dispensed the ointment and said it was very useful.”

“Does it hurt to put it on ……”

“You’re not in pain now?”

“It hurts ……”

Shen Yu then stopped talking and opened the pot, scraped a layer of ointment with a small wooden tablet and gently applied it to her ankles, like mud, contrasting with the colour of her white skin.

When Li Xiang doesn’t speak, he doesn’t speak of his own accord. He concentrates on applying the ointment to her, and when he’s done, he brings her gauze and wraps her up layer by layer.

It was harder to wrap the gauze on the small stool, so he put her foot on his knee again, and when he looked down, he was only a short distance from the tips of her tender root-like toes.

I don’t know if it was because her feet had just been iced, but when Shen Yu’s hands touched the skin on her feet, they felt a hot burn that made her heart pound.

Asaba Li Xiang just shyly curled up on his toes, hands propped up on the edge of the bed, little face flushed, big eyes staring at him without blinking ……

I was thinking about what Jiang Ningle and I were talking about – the three best ways to flirt with a man.

She then flicked her hair, only Shen Yu didn’t see it.

Then she stretched again and was scolded by Shen Yu, “Can’t you see I’m tying the gauze, don’t move.”

Finally, I had to sit meekly and bite my lip.

After a great deal of effort, Shen Yu finally tied the gauze and looked up at Asaba Li Xiang.

Just see her biting her lips, showing a few white and beautiful small teeth, looking at him like a second fool and blinking ……

Shen Yu was frozen in his tracks.

Asaba Li Xiang is ecstatic inside!

Looks like Jiang Ningle was right! Shen Yu has been turned on by her! He’s turned into a wooden man!

So he bit his lips even harder, with his big eyes still looking at him ‘imploringly’, and bowed his head shyly ……

Shen Yu stood up, looked at her with a stony face, backed up and hurried out of the room before he could be heard calling out to Zhang Xiaoru.

“Mum! Is this ointment poisonous! It’s making people silly!!!”

Asaba Li Xiang : “?”

Ahhhh …… is …… talking about me ……?
