330: Chapter 330 is finished, it's all over - 2

Jiang Ye almost choked on his own breath: "...Stop messing around! I'm talking about something serious! A real terminal illness! A very serious kind!"

Ye Cheng walked up to him, looked down at him, and tilted her head: "Oh? What kind of illness? Tell me about it."

"It's... cancer."

Jiang Ye sighed heavily, lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice: "I've already started chemotherapy. The doctor said I..."

Before he could finish, Ye Cheng sat down on the sofa armrest, reached out and patted his shoulder, her tone even carrying a hint of excitement:

"Not much time left to live, right? Then we really need to seize the time! Every time we do it, it's one less time, so let's do it a few more times today so your life won't have any regrets!"

"..."

Jiang Ye was speechless, looking up at her with a glare: "I'm a patient right now! I need rest! Can you please respect my condition?"

Seeing that Ye Cheng's face was practically screaming "I'd have to be a ghost to believe you," he helplessly covered his forehead, forced to resort to his second tactic:

"If... if you really must... then turn off the lights. I don't want you to see the changes in my body. I'm afraid... afraid you'll be sad."

"..."

Ye Cheng looked at his dramatic "days are numbered" act and sneered in her heart.

Hmph! Pretend! Keep pretending!

Don't say you have a serious illness, even if you were to drop dead right here right now, I'd still pull your pants down to see what's going on before calling the police!

She couldn't be bothered with more nonsense and reached out to pull at his sweater: "Enough talk! Hurry up! If you don't want to wash up, forget it, I don't mind!"

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't pull! The quality of this sweater isn't good!"

Jiang Ye was so scared he quickly protected his clothes, shrinking into the sofa like a young wife about to be assaulted: "Cheng Cheng! Calm down! Men and women should keep their distance!"

"Keep your distance, my ass! Is there any part of your body I haven't kissed?!" Ye Cheng snorted irritably, her hands not stopping.

Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, one desperately pulling and the other defending to the death by the sofa, the phone Jiang Ye had tossed in the corner suddenly started vibrating with a "buzz, buzz, buzz," and the screen lit up.

Jiang Ye glanced at the caller ID—it was Su Ning's avatar flashing!

His heart leaped with joy, and he quickly shouted: "Stop it, stop it! Su Ning is calling! It must be an emergency!"

While saying this, Jiang Ye stretched out his arm to reach for the phone.

Seeing him distracted, a sharp glint flashed in Ye Cheng's eyes. She grabbed the hem of his sweater and, taking advantage of the gap while he raised his arm, pulled it upward with force!

"Hey, hey, hey?! Holy crap!"

Jiang Ye felt the world go dark for a moment. The sweater, carrying a trail of static electricity, was pulled right off along his outstretched arm, revealing the shirt underneath.

"You..."

He was both angry and amused. Just as he was about to say something, Ye Cheng's "claws" reached for his belt.

"Hey! Cheng Cheng! The phone! The call connected!"

Jiang Ye quickly gripped his belt tightly while simultaneously pressing the speaker button, raising his voice: "What's wrong, Yaoyao?"

Hearing the name "Yaoyao," Ye Cheng, who was currently wrestling with Jiang Ye's pants, froze, a giant question mark appearing over her head.

Yaoyao? Who's that?

This WeChat avatar and nickname clearly belong to Su Ning, when did she change her name to Yaoyao?

"Brother~"

On the other end of the line, Su Ning smiled sweetly, her voice so sugary it could drip water:

"Happy Valentines Day~ Thank you for your support today, Brother~ The mission is complete! I love you to death!"

Jiang Ye, while struggling to resist Ye Cheng's "attack," tried his best to make his voice sound normal:

"Yeah, it's fine. You've been performing well lately, this is what you deserve. I hope you don't get arrogant..."

Before he could finish, he felt Ye Cheng's hand touch his belt again. He hastily lowered his voice and hissed: "...Holy crap! Wait until I'm done with this call!"

Then he immediately switched back to his phone voice: "...and don't be impatient. Summarize the patterns well, and you definitely won't be short of tickets in the future."

"...?"

Hearing that abrupt exclamation, and the strange rustling noises from the phone, Su Ning paused, instantly conjuring up some unhealthy associations.

However, she had chosen this time to call specifically for this reason—to cleverly make her presence felt while the two were likely being romantic, and incidentally...

Hmm, secretly learn some advanced experience.

She immediately adjusted her state, her laughter still sweet, as if she hadn't heard anything:

"Oh my, Brother, are you with... Sister right now? Did I disturb you two?"

Ye Cheng, while continuing to struggle with Jiang Ye's belt, replied casually:

"Yeah, Su Ning, how have you been having fun at home these past few days? I saw your moments, they're quite exciting, every day it's either big feasts or singing karaoke."

"Sister... are you calling me?"

Su Ning's tone was slightly confused: "I'm Yaoyao, not Su Ning~ We haven't added each other on WeChat either~ This is my first time hearing Sister's voice, Sister's voice is really nice~"

"...?"

Ye Cheng's tugging motion paused again, and she looked inexplicably at Jiang Ye, whose expression was fascinating: "Jiang Ye, what's up with her? Is she drunk?"

Before Jiang Ye could speak, Su Ning on the other end muttered to herself, her voice carrying a hint of confusion:

"Eh? Why does it seem like the signal is a bit bad? Sister, what did you just say? I didn't hear clearly~"

Ye Cheng didn't pay it any mind and raised her voice a little: "I said, I was asking Jiang Ye if you were drunk!"

"Eh...? Why is there no signal again? Can you hear me?"

"Jiang Ye, what is going on with her? What kind of act is she putting on with you?"

"How strange... there's no sound..."

Ye Cheng frowned and raised her voice again: "No, what's your situation? Did you really drink?"

"I didn't drink, Sister..."

Su Ning on the other end immediately "recovered" to normal: "It's Valentines Day today, I'm staying home honestly reading books and watching dramas, so Brother doesn't overthink. Yaoyao is a good girl, I won't cause Brother any trouble~"

"..."

Ye Cheng was truly a bit confused: "No, who is Yaoyao? Su Ning, what kind of trick are you and Jiang Ye playing?"

"...Eh?"

"Tap-tap" sounds came from the other end of the phone, Su Ning seemed to be tapping the screen: "Why is it lagging again... Brother, how is the weather over there?"
