45: Chapter 45 A single word, "Brother," softens my heart.

The two walked slowly along the tree-lined path on campus.

Jiang Jinyue let him hold her, her arms unconsciously tensing up, yet she didn't think to break free.

Before long, the two arrived at a small pavilion in a corner of the campus.

It was surrounded by a bamboo forest, and the pavilion was very secluded.

Jiang Jinyue was a bit bewildered again; she was shy when there were many people around, but when they were alone, she felt the boy in front of her was somewhat dangerous.

"This... is too secluded..." Jiang Jinyue muttered softly.

"Do we have to go to the square to kiss? Aren't you shy?"

"Kiss?" The two words flashed through the girl's mind. Was she finally about to give away her first kiss?

She had kissed her family's puppy, her little niece, and her little nephew.

She had kissed her grandparents' and parents' cheeks...

She just had never kissed a boy's lips.

Tang Luochuan sat under the pavilion, directly pulling the girl into his arms and onto his lap.

Jiang Jinyue tried hard to look straight ahead. Her expression was very unnatural, fine sweat seeped out on her cold, aloof face, and her breathing was very rapid.

"Lower your head... call me 'Brother'..."

Like a marionette, Jiang Jinyue bit her lip. This was too great a contrast to her image as a cold, aloof goddess.

"Bro... ther..."

"Say it together..."

"Brother~" Jiang Jinyue said these two words in almost a breathy whisper, the air she exhaled spraying directly onto the boy's face.

Tang Luochuan's lips curled slightly as he wrapped his arms around her waist, and the girl's body stiffened.

Before she could react, the boy's head had already leaned in.

A pair of soft, sweet lips touched her own...

After two or three seconds, the two separated. Tang Luochuan said in a low voice, "Is it fun?"

Jiang Jinyue felt a sense of being flirted with to the point of satisfaction, and with an embarrassed, shallow smile, she replied, "Mmh~"

"Continue..."

At this moment, Tang Luochuan was not the little puppy he was in front of Shen Muyan.

Instead, he was the 'good brother' in front of Jiang Jinyue, and she was led by him, step by step, into intimacy.

It was as if Jiang Jinyue had discovered a new world; sitting on the boy's lap, she wrapped her arms around his neck.

After a long while, the two whispered to each other again.

"I want to kiss a little longer." The girl gradually became active now. Thanks to there being no one around, she had relaxed a lot.

"Whatever you want!" Tang Luochuan cooperated as well.

It was only then that Jiang Jinyue realized he was right.

Only after being together and entering the dating stage could one discover that boys can be delicate and experience their pampering.

All of this was unpredictable beforehand.

At one in the afternoon, Tang Luochuan walked back to the Dormitory in a devil-may-care manner, preparing to rest for a while.

The girl's scent still lingered on his lips.

"Old Tang, let's go..." Zhang Ming suddenly walked down from the stairs.

"Where to?"

"To class, of course. Lunch break is over..."

"What the hell?? This..."

There was no other way; the lunch break was gone, but he wasn't sleepy anyway.

However, he still had to retrace his steps and go to the girls' Dormitory first to pick up his two girlfriends.

Jiang Jinyue was standing in the lobby on the first floor, her body straight and her feet together, waiting for Tang Luochuan.

Every one of her movements carried a hint of elegance, while Shen Muyan stood to the side, hugging her waist and leaning on her shoulder.

The two girls were whispering about something, laughing and talking.

"The little pervert is here. He even said he wanted me to apply for off-campus living!" Shen Muyan saw Tang Luochuan from afar.

"Off-campus living? That's a bit early, but he really is very gentle."

"No, he's very rough... Oh... I mean, he's very gentle at first." Shen Muyan realized she had said the wrong thing.

"Senior, don't forget to go to the house this afternoon. I've arranged for the furniture company to come at two-forty! Oh, that's right, I'm giving you both some pocket money. You two should accept it."

"Pocket money?" Shen Muyan took out her phone; the amount he was giving was definitely over ten thousand.

That was her estimation, surely...

"One... ten... hundred... thousand... ten thousand... one hundred thousand??" Seeing this number, Shen Muyan was instantly shocked.

Jiang Jinyue had the same expression. She knew he was wealthy; her own monthly living allowance was 200,000.

But if she were a boy giving his girlfriend living expenses, it would be at most ten thousand yuan!

But this guy...

Jiang Jinyue spoke up: "Don't your parents control you? Are you spending money so recklessly?"

"I'm not spending it recklessly! Take it. It's just this much for the month! You two should be frugal with it..." Tang Luochuan thought to himself that he made one hundred million a day.

Giving his girlfriends 100,000 a month felt stingy by comparison, but they were all students with no extra expenses.

Holding that new phone, Shen Muyan swallowed. What a woman values most is her own dignity and reserve.

The thing her parents told her most was that even if a person is poor, they shouldn't lack ambition.

No matter how rich others are, as long as the money you earn through hard work is clean, you don't need to be servile, nor do you need to envy others.

"It's all chicken soup for the soul..." Shen Muyan looked at the money in her hand.

She was only 19 years old, and her largest sum of wealth was the few thousand yuan in her pocket, which included the money she had earned working hard all summer.

She knew deeply how difficult it was to earn money. Working eight or nine hours a day as a summer job for one month, a female student, she had saved over 6,000 in two months!

She had even given some to her family; this was already the thing she was most proud of at the moment.

Knowledge can change destiny, and effort can change life, but it couldn't change things to the level of Tang Luochuan.

"Luochuan... this is too much..." Shen Muyan said.

Tang Luochuan looked at her and didn't reply.

Because normally, Shen Muyan would have a second half to that sentence, which was: I can't accept this.

But a few seconds later, Shen Muyan didn't say another word...

After all, it was truly too demoralizing; it shattered her worldview.

Tang Luochuan deliberately teased her: "So, do you want it or not?"

"It's just too much..." Shen Muyan said, observing the boy's expression. She silently put her phone away and asked again, "Every month?"

"That's right, every month!"

"Oh~~" Shen Muyan didn't say anything else; she was left only with embarrassment. She had made a complete fool of herself.

Do you want it? She didn't dare answer that question.

In her heart, she definitely wanted it, but she knew that Tang Luochuan understood her personality.

He would very likely continue to tease her, saying... if you don't want it, give it back to me.

In the face of 100,000 yuan, she couldn't withstand the teasing.

Then there was Jiang Jinyue. Shen Muyan pulled the girl: "Jinyue... Luochuan's good intentions... how about..."

She knew Jiang Jinyue wasn't lacking this money, and she was really afraid that the other girl would say, "I don't need it."

If that happened, her own situation would be awkward; how could she have the nerve to accept it if she didn't?

"Accept it! Why wouldn't I accept it?" Unexpectedly, Jiang Jinyue agreed immediately.

In reality, Shen Muyan had no money, and receiving so much made her feel like a gold digger. She felt a bit uncomfortable inside, but she couldn't resist the temptation.

Whereas Jiang Jinyue was wealthy, so this amount of money didn't count as gold-digging for her, and she naturally felt more at ease.
