113: Chapter 113 Yes, there's a concert tonight, wanna come?

"Excuse me, this seat is taken."

On Monday, at the high-speed rail station in the crowded waiting hall, Jiang Che was looking down at his phone when a girl suddenly stood in front of him.

Jiang Che glanced up slightly at her clothes, assuming it was a stranger wanting to sit next to him, so he spoke casually.

"Brother Che~"

The girl in front of him pouted coquettishly. Hearing this familiar voice, Jiang Che looked up and realized it was Luo Yao.

"Yao Yao? You're dressed so beautifully, I almost didn't recognize you."

Luo Yao looked a bit shy. "No way, besides, don't I look good usually?"

"Usually... I'm busy with work and haven't had the chance to look."

Hearing him say this, Luo Yao pouted slightly and muttered, "Do you only look if I show my legs like Sister An Ran?"

Jiang Che blushed at her words. He then deliberately put on a lecherous look and scanned Luo Yao up and down. Seeing his gaze, Luo Yao first blushed, then, after hesitating for two seconds, she defiantly puffed out her chest slightly.

"Yao Yao..."

"Hmm?"

"Eat more papaya."

Luo Yao froze, then quickly realized he was saying she hadn't reached a certain size yet. She was instantly both shy and somewhat depressed. "Brother Che, you're so bad. Besides, I'm not small, okay... It's just that the clothes are too tight."

The two waited for half an hour. During this time, Luo Yao even bought breakfast for Jiang Che. By the time they finished eating leisurely, it was just time to check tickets.

After boarding, Luo Yao, who was on her first business trip, seemed very excited. She chatted with Jiang Che while happily looking at the scenery outside the window.

Seeing her reaction, Jiang Che couldn't help but laugh and cry. "How about we swap, you sit by the window?"

Luo Yao looked at him for two seconds and nodded.

The two switched seats, and then, Luo Yao sat by the window, full of joy. This way, the view was even better.

While waiting, Luo Yao said she was so excited last night that she didn't sleep well all night. At first, Jiang Che thought she was exaggerating, but soon, he believed it.

Because less than an hour after boarding, Luo Yao, who was initially happy and excited, yawned a few times and then fell asleep leaning on the seat.

At first, Jiang Che didn't pay attention to her. However, the girl's head was resting against the glass, vibrating for a while. She seemed to feel uncomfortable, so she turned her head, and then... leaned on Jiang Che's shoulder.

If it were anyone else, Jiang Che would definitely think it was intentional, but Luo Yao... she definitely wouldn't do something like that.

It wasn't until noon, when a high-speed rail attendant walked through the carriage carrying some boxed meals and asked if anyone wanted food, that Luo Yao woke up groggily.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a pair of helpless yet teasing eyes looking at her.

After being stunned for three seconds, Luo Yao realized she had been leaning on Jiang Che. She immediately sat up straight, then raised her hand and wiped her mouth.

Jiang Che looked at the small wet patch on his shoulder. "You slept quite soundly, you even drooled."

Luo Yao, who had always been a good girl, couldn't handle such teasing and instantly blushed. "I, I didn't..."

Jiang Che knew Luo Yao was thin-skinned, so he didn't continue teasing her. He just pointed to the attendant who had just walked by. "Are you hungry? Let's eat something."

"How much longer until we arrive?"

"Three hours."

"Then... let's eat after we get off."

Jiang Che wasn't very hungry either, so hearing Luo Yao's words, he nodded.

After 3 PM, the two arrived in Xia City. As soon as they got off the train, they took a taxi straight to the hotel.

The company's business trip standards were quite good. For the two of them on a business trip, the treatment started at a four-star hotel.

When they arrived at the nice hotel, while registering, Jiang Che and Luo Yao discovered that they were indeed two rooms next to each other.

"Brother Che, they really are next to each other!" Luo Yao said happily when entering the elevator.

Seeing her innocent expression, Jiang Che deliberately lowered his voice and looked at her. "Yeah, remember to leave the door unlocked tonight."

"Leave the door unlocked? Why?"

"So it's convenient for me to come over."

Luo Yao stared blankly at Jiang Che, taking two seconds to react. She immediately said shyly, "Brother Che, you've been corrupted by Yang Fei!"

Jiang Che looked at her with an innocent face. "I meant to discuss the work to be carried out tomorrow, why are you blushing?"

"You... you?!" Teased by him, Luo Yao felt somewhat depressed. Then she huffed, stamped her feet, and said, "I'm not talking to you anymore."

The two returned to their respective rooms. Jiang Che had just put down his luggage and washed his face when An Ran's call came through.

"Arrived?"

"Great minds think alike, I just entered the room."

"What about Luo Yao?"

"In her own room."

"Don't bully her."

Jiang Che had black lines on his forehead. "What kind of bullying?"

An Ran said softly and coquettishly on the phone, "What other kind of bullying do you have in mind?"

Hearing this, Jiang Che felt helpless. "Don't worry, I won't. With you here, who would dare."

An Ran was quiet for two seconds, then said, "I'm not afraid of you bullying her; I'm afraid that if you bully her, she'll be the one to initiate. Yao Yao has just entered society, and she likes you. You are not allowed to mess around."

Listening to An Ran's words, Jiang Che felt something was a bit strange.

Checking up on him? That was normal, after all, her boyfriend was on a business trip with a girl, and that girl liked him. Anyone would be worried.

But... An Ran's words, why did they feel a bit off? What did she mean by 'not afraid of you bullying her, just afraid she'll be the one to initiate'... Listening to An Ran's meaning, if he really bullied Luo Yao, she would be quite calm about it?

"An Ran..." Jiang Che suddenly lowered his voice and called her name.

"Hmm?" An Ran heard his voice suddenly drop and thought he had something serious to say.

As a result, the next second she heard Jiang Che say, "It would be better if the two of us were on a business trip; we could stay in the same room, save the company costs, and it would be more convenient to discuss work and chat."

These words made An Ran's cheeks flush. Discuss work? Chat? I'm too embarrassed to call your bluff.

Jiang Che, having teased An Ran, was in a good mood. Just as she hung up, his phone rang again immediately.

Jiang Che answered again and said with a smile, "What? Did you think about it and get moved by the idea of staying in a room with me, so you're planning to come to Xia City and swap with Yao Yao?"

The phone was quiet for two seconds, then a familiar voice said, "What staying in a room, and who is Yao Yao?"

Jiang Che froze, then took the phone away to look at it and realized that it wasn't An Ran who called, but Su Su...

"Ahem, why are you calling?"

Su Su didn't answer, but continued to ask, "You just... weren't flirting with another girl, were you?"

"How is that possible? Am I that kind of person?" Jiang Che said with a righteous face.

Su Su snorted and continued, "You're in Xia City?"

"Yeah."

"What a coincidence."

"Hmm?" Jiang Che was stunned, then said with some surprise, "You're here too?"

"Yes, there's a concert tonight, do you want to come?"
