Chapter 261: 77. Girl Affairs

"Ask... not ask... ask... not ask... ask..."

"Creak..."

"I’m back."

The villa’s door was pushed open, and Jiang Xiong, wearing glasses and with a refined demeanor, hung his suit jacket over his arm as he changed into slippers in the entryway.

Before even glancing in the direction of Bai Yi’s room on the first floor, he was stunned by the scene in the living room for a moment.

But in the living room, his stepdaughter Bai Yi, with a hairband holding up her bangs and a pure white hydrating facial mask on her face,

was holding a bunch of prop fake flowers, tearing at the petals.

On the table, several stalks of fake flowers and numerous petals were already scattered.

Clearly, the stalk in her hand was not the first victim.

Tearing off a petal, she trembled and said,

"Ask..."

And as she tore off another petal, she trembled her lips again and added,

"Not ask..."

This was the last petal, meaning that the "not ask" was the result.

"Ah, how can I sleep if I don’t ask!"

Bai Yi, feeling distressed, threw the bare stalk onto the table and bitingly picked up another one.

"..."

Jiang Xiong, curious, glanced at the mess on the table and asked,

"Yiyi, what are you doing?"

"Ah? Uncle Jiang, you’re back..."

Bai Yi’s movement stiffened, and with the face mask on, Jiang Xiong couldn’t quite read her expression, only discerning her surprise from her slightly parted lips.

"...Where’s mom?"

"She’s still skincare-ing, probably will take another hour or two. I couldn’t wait and came back first."

"...Oh, okay."

Jiang Xiong hung up his suit jacket, tidied it up, and asked,

"Why are you so agitated late at night with a face mask on? Just today you received a publishing invitation, and Agent Xiao Ji said they’re all suitable... So, did something happen at school?"

Bai Yi gripped the fake flower, seemingly no longer willing to harm it.

She pouted a little, thought for a moment, and still decided to tell Jiang Xiong about inviting Yan Huan today and how the latter hadn’t replied till now.

Upon hearing it was about that "Fan A", Jiang Xiong, who was ironing clothes, seemed quite interested.

He turned around and said with a smile,

"Oh, so it’s about love."

"It’s not about love!"

Her face under the mask heated up a bit, but Bai Yi explained,

"It should be... just normal social interaction, like being friends..."

"Love starts from friendship, you know. But because of your mom, you and that Yan Huan are quite fated."

"I said, it’s not about love..."

Jiang Xiong didn’t argue with Bai Yi; he just stroked his chin and said,

"Hmm, indeed, your intention was very clear, directly inviting him to be the male lead in the MV..."

Jiang Xiong haven’t finished speaking, Bai Yi eagerly said,

"Right!? You think so too, Uncle Jiang! I made it so obvious, specifically inviting him to star in the MV, and this new song was even born because of him..."

Bai Yi became more and more enthusiastic, completely unaware of the deeper meaning in Jiang Xiong’s previous words.

"And yesterday too, I gave him and myself the same model of Bluetooth earphones. I even deliberately wore them with the earpiece facing his side, but he didn’t react at all..."

Jiang Xiong, sweating, pushed his glasses up and said,

"That’s a bit too hard for him, who would keep staring at your earphones."

"Normally... he would, right?"

"Not really."

Bai Yi pouted, squeezed the sofa cushion, and finally muttered,

"Even if not that, after sending the message, shouldn’t he at least reply?"

"Wow, you really care about this."

Bai Yi glared at Jiang Xiong with a flushed face, didn’t reply, just hummed softly.

Jiang Xiong finished ironing the clothes and seemingly restless again, started boiling water.

After pressing the button to boil the water, he sat down on the opposite end of the couch and smilingly asked,

"Do you want some advice about love?"

"I told you... it’s not about love..."

Bai Yi glared at Jiang Xiong, but after a moment of silence, she said,

"...Let’s hear it, what’s the advice."

Jiang Xiong, looking unsurprised, continued,

"As far as I know, that Yan Huan is even more popular than you at your school, right? After all, being the president of one of the top schools like Lin Gate isn’t something just anyone can do."

Bai Yi, with her face red, nodded:

"Um... that... is true..."

Bai Yi is from class 1B, and a classmate named Yahashiki, an otaku, is good friends with Yan Huan.

So today Bai Yi asked her best friend to probe around about Yan Huan, which kind of updated her long-absent social knowledge from school...

And it filled in faster than her academically hole-riddled grades.

Bai Yi took out her phone, opened a page on plane, and handed it to Jiang Xiong,

"Look at this, this is a screenshot sent by my classmate..."

Jiang Xiong glanced at it and saw that the screenshot was from a small group, consisting of Yuan Yue students, in the midst of a heated chat,

"Really? Your school is having a club battle, isn’t the camp after the midterms? Now these girls are starting to inquire about which place class A, where Yan Huan is in, will go?"

Bai Yi lowered her head, murmuring resentfully,

"Yeah..."

But the next second, her expression turned brightly sunny, her nose even lifted high,

"But but, none of these girls know, Yan Huan is my fan! He really really likes my songs!!"
