111: Chapter 111 Taking Advantage of Me Again

"Can you take a step back?"

As the bus continued on, the vehicle began to jolt and sway, and Jiang Che finally couldn't hold it in anymore.

Jiang Ning, with a face flushed like peach blossoms, lowered her head slightly and whispered like a mosquito: "There are no seats left, I'm already leaning against the back."

Although she was occasionally bold and proactive, this intimate rubbing made her cheeks burn; she was incredibly embarrassed.

Especially... that tingling sensation; her heart was racing, and her body felt like it was being electrocuted—very hot, very strange.

Jiang Che could only exert a little force to move back an inch, but this tiny bit of space was merely a drop in the bucket for their situation, especially with the crowded people beside them jostling every now and then, causing Jiang Che to uncontrollably press against Jiang Ning again.

Soon, the two of them were like magnets, stuck firmly together.

The sensation in front of him made a thought suddenly appear in Jiang Che's mind: The Stinky Girl is the real deal, not using pads to cheat customers...

Jiang Che was so close that Jiang Ning could even feel his breath.

Jiang Ning suppressed her shyness, looked up slightly at Jiang Che's chin and profile, and then her gaze fell on the wound near his mouth.

Her heart was racing; she kind of wanted to hug Jiang Che, or... kiss him. And then just say it was because she lost her balance...

However, although she thought this in her heart, she looked at the crowded people beside her and ultimately didn't dare to do it.

Just as the Stinky Girl was lost in thought, the bus braked sharply. Caught off guard, she lost her footing and let out a soft cry.

The next second, an arm wrapped around her waist.

"Stand steady."

Jiang Che said softly.

The two of them had been completely squeezed into the corner. Jiang Che was holding Jiang Ning like this, only to realize that it was so crowded that his arm was stuck.

Jiang Che looked at Jiang Ning with some embarrassment, "I can't pull my arm out."

"Oh..." Jiang Ning responded softly, then lowered her head.

An Ran's waist was soft and well-proportioned, but the Stinky Girl was actually even slimmer and softer than her.

A trip that would probably take less than twenty minutes by taxi, the two of them spent a full forty minutes squeezed on the bus.

When they finally reached the bus stop near the commercial street, basically everyone had gotten off.

Jiang Che looked at Jiang Ning, whose face was like a red apple, and said softly: "Time to get off."

"Huh?" Jiang Ning, who had been lost in thought with her head down, turned around, looked at the empty bus, and realized they had arrived. "Oh, oh."

After getting off the bus, Jiang Ning followed behind Jiang Che. Looking at his back, she suddenly hummed softly: "Taking advantage of me again."

The Stinky Girl intended to mutter it quietly, but who would have thought that Jiang Che actually heard it.

He stopped, turned around, and looked at the Stinky Girl with a helpless expression.

Jiang Ning didn't expect him to hear her when she spoke so softly, but since she had already said it, she couldn't back down now.

"It's true." So she looked at Jiang Che and added another sentence.

"I held your waist because I was afraid you'd fall. How is that taking advantage of you?"

Hearing this, Jiang Ning immediately became embarrassed and stammered: "I wasn't talking about holding my waist!"

Jiang Che was stunned, then... his gaze involuntarily shifted down from the Stinky Girl's face...

Ahem, alright, the way it was just now, it was a bit suspicious.

"The rest was unintentional too. It was so crowded, how could I avoid it?"

Jiang Ning's cheeks were burning. Seeing Jiang Che's slightly guilty expression, she hummed softly and didn't speak again.

Shyness aside, it was soon forgotten by the Stinky Girl.

There were quite a few people in the city center in the morning; the bustling streets quickly made the Stinky Girl forget about what happened on the bus.

They said they were buying earrings, but Jiang Ning dragged Jiang Che along and walked through all the busiest streets.

There were many things Jiang Ning liked, but strangely, the girl didn't buy any of them. She only looked at Jiang Che longingly when she saw something delicious, making him buy a portion.

And after eating half, Jiang Ning gave the other half to Jiang Che.

Eating the younger sister's leftovers... anyway, this wasn't the first time they'd done this since they were little, so Jiang Che didn't mind.

Moreover, in the past, when he was eating something, the Stinky Girl wouldn't mind his saliva and would just take it and eat it.

Thinking about it now, Jiang Ning... she must have had feelings for him for a long time. Just how long had this Stinky Girl been hiding it?

Jiang Ning turned around and noticed Jiang Che had been watching her. Her face flushed slightly, and she coquettishly said: "Why are you looking at me?"

"You..." Jiang Che originally wanted to ask, 'When did you start liking me?' But the words reached his lips, and he held them back. What if the Stinky Girl misunderstood and thought he was deliberately flirting with her?

The two strolled for the whole morning. It wasn't until Jiang Che's legs started to ache that Jiang Ning casually found a stall and picked out a pair of earrings, taking only half a minute.

"Let's go eat, I'll treat you!"

After paying, Jiang Ning was in a great mood, though it didn't seem to be because of the earrings.

"You're treating me?" Jiang Che was a bit surprised. "Did you find money? Why are you suddenly so kind?"

"How annoying, I have my own money, okay~ I can afford to treat you to a meal."

Jiang Che didn't mind the Stinky Girl's rare generosity, so he agreed. "What shall we eat?"

Jiang Ning looked around, then pointed to an intersection on the side, "Let's go check that out!"

Jiang Che took a look, didn't see anything special, and nodded.

The two walked for two or three minutes. After passing the street corner, Jiang Ning suddenly pretended to point to the side nonchalantly: "There's a restaurant over there that looks pretty good, hey, let's eat there!"

Jiang Che didn't notice at first and said 'Fine with me', but when he looked up at the restaurant sign, he was stunned.

"Jiang Ning, could your acting get any worse?"

The Stinky Girl's eyes dodged, and she muttered with an innocent face: "What acting? I don't understand..."

Jiang Che was speechless; the place this girl chose was actually a couple's restaurant!

"Do you dare say you didn't see the word 'couple' on the sign?"

"No! I didn't!" Jiang Ning denied it while speaking, but in reality, her ears were already red.

Wearing clothes similar to a couple's outfit, and now being brought to a couple's restaurant by the Stinky Girl... so after all this time, it was a chain of schemes?

"Then let's go to another one." Jiang Che said, seeing the Stinky Girl wouldn't admit it.

As soon as he said this, Jiang Ning's face, which had been happy just before, immediately drooped. She pouted slightly and looked at him with unhappy eyes.

Jiang Che felt creeped out by the Stinky Girl's resentful gaze. He looked up at the restaurant's name again, and finally, he could only helplessly compromise.

"Fine, fine, fine, let's eat, let's eat. As long as you're happy!"

Seeing him still going along with her, the face that had been filled with deep sorrow a second ago immediately brightened up.

Jiang Che shook his head; this girl... was hopeless.

He braced himself and walked into the couple's restaurant with the Stinky Girl. As soon as they entered, the Stinky Girl pointed to the right and whispered: "Let's go there. There's a window in the corner around the turn, no one's there yet, and the view is great."

Jiang Che was slightly stunned upon hearing this.

Seeing her brother suddenly freeze, Jiang Ning realized she had exposed herself.

Under Jiang Che's gaze, she hesitated for a few seconds before the Stinky Girl muttered softly:

"I... I've been here once before, that time when I ordered the couple's set meal and you caught me."
