After buying some Christmas hats, gift boxes, and various Christmas figurines to coax Zhou Ying and make her happy...
Finally, at Jiang Cheng's request, she also successfully bought a set of Christmas-themed pajamas.
After eating and drinking their fill, the two of them returned to the Courtyard House.
Zhou Ying had already seen Jiang Cheng's extravagance, but she was still greatly shocked when she saw the Courtyard House.
This was the first time Jiang Cheng had brought her back to where he lived.
She had originally thought she would see a luxury residential area, but she didn't expect it to be a whole stretch of Courtyard Houses.
This was Kyoto, after all!
Shock aside, after finishing the tour, Zhou Ying's expression returned to its original state.
Although Jiang Cheng's wealth and status were indeed surprising...
...Zhou Ying knew that this wasn't the main reason she liked him.
If it were other Girls, like Qiao Yinyin or Reba...
...after witnessing Jiang Cheng's extravagant power, they would inevitably change their attitude.
They would become entirely focused on Jiang Cheng, carefully tending to his moods.
But Zhou Ying didn't change herself at all because of these external conditions.
She still maintained her previous attitude.
She treated Jiang Cheng just like a regular boyfriend.
In Jiang Cheng's view, neither of these two mindsets was actually bad.
Two hours later, Zhou Ying walked slowly out of the bathroom, dragging her weakened legs.
At this moment, a shy blush still lingered on her face, as if she were still immersed in the passion from just now.
After walking to the bedside, she immediately saw that Christmas skirt torn by Jiang Cheng, hanging pitifully at the foot of the bed.
Remembering that Jiang Cheng had promised to take beautiful photos of her, but now the clothes were in this state.
Zhou Ying couldn't help but feel both shy and annoyed, grumbling and complaining, "Didn't you say you'd take nice photos of me? The photos haven't even been taken yet, and the skirt is already ruined!"
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng chuckled and reached out to pull Zhou Ying onto the bed.
Staring intently into Zhou Ying's eyes, he said, "The moment you put it on, a tent was pitched right away; how could I hold back..."
Feeling Jiang Cheng's burning gaze, Zhou Ying's cheeks turned even redder.
She quickly changed the subject. "No way, did you hear me? I have a competition tomorrow. What if I don't have any energy left?"
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but gently pinch Zhou Ying's soft A4 waist.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. If you're tired, take a good rest first. I won't disturb you."
Zhou Ying snuggled quietly in Jiang Cheng's warm embrace.
Her gaze fell on the phone screen in his hand as they browsed the updates on moments together.
Jiang Cheng now had a rough understanding of the personalities of the Girls around him.
For instance, with Zhou Ying right now, when she was with Jiang Cheng, she would occasionally be like this.
Lying quietly in Jiang Cheng's arms, she made no secret of watching Jiang Cheng play on his phone.
But she would only watch and never deliberately flip through Jiang Cheng's phone.
As for Qiao Yinyin and Wang Yuyan, the two of them showed a kind of tacit understanding.
Every time, they would deliberately avoid it and would never pay attention to Jiang Cheng's phone.
The other Girls were different; they already understood that Jiang Cheng didn't belong to just one of them.
So, sometimes they would even watch Jiang Cheng play on his phone and look at pretty Girls.
Especially Yu Xiaoxiao; while watching, she would also tease Jiang Cheng from time to time.
Seeing that the Danger Perception Skill didn't give any prompts, Jiang Cheng felt very reassured and continued browsing his phone with peace of mind.
After all, as long as he didn't click into his private moments and just browsed normally, it shouldn't cause any problems.
Except for Qiao Yinyin and Lin Qingxue, almost none of his other women liked to post selfies.
Even if they took one occasionally, it was mostly scenery photos accompanied by a sentence expressing things like how they missed him.
In this way, Jiang Cheng's moments actually appeared very safe.
Before long, he scrolled to the moments update posted by Qiao Yinyin.
In the picture, Qiao Yinyin was wearing a red Christmas hat and smiling brightly at the camera.
The caption was simple and clear: "Merry Christmas!"
After quickly browsing this update, Jiang Cheng gave it a like right in front of Zhou Ying without any hesitation.
Sure enough, this act of liking another Girl's post in person didn't cause any dissatisfaction in Zhou Ying.
After all, under normal circumstances, being open and dignified usually represents being upright and honest.
If he dares to like it right in front of her, what else could she overthink, right?
On the contrary, if he acted all secretive, that would be more likely to cause suspicion and unease.
After liking it, Jiang Cheng saw the Moment posted by Wang Congcong; the photo was of a scene in a bar.
As usual, Jiang Cheng casually gave it a like.
Seeing this, Zhou Ying, who was beside him, gave two cold snorts.
While looking at the phone screen, she pointed at Wang Sicong and said, "Does he change girlfriends every day?"
Seeing Zhou Ying suddenly become curious about Wang Congcong.
Jiang Cheng immediately distanced himself and agreed, "Probably! This guy is just a total scumbag. I don't know why he likes to hang out in those foul-aired places like bars all day."
"The lighting is deathly dim, you can't see anything clearly. Not to mention most of those Girls rely on makeup and beauty filters to hold up appearances. I really don't get what's so interesting about him doing that."
Hearing Jiang Cheng say this, Zhou Ying followed up, "It's been a long time since I went to a bar with you."
Jiang Cheng immediately understood the implication in Zhou Ying's words.
"If you want to go, we can go together another day. But to be honest, besides drinking some wine and feeling the atmosphere, there's really nothing fun about bars."
Jiang Cheng continued scrolling down, and his gaze stopped on Lin Qingxue's moments update again.
"Merry Christmas! I hope I don't need to spend next year's Christmas in the hospital..."
Below the text was a photo of Lin Qingxue accompanying her mother in the hospital.
Jiang Cheng casually introduced her to Zhou Ying beside him, "This is a senior from when I was a sophomore. Her mother unfortunately suffered from uremia, but fortunately, she has already completed a kidney transplant and is currently in the recovery stage."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ying first showed a hint of surprise, then sighed with empathy.
"Ah, how pitiful! She's so young, how did her mom get sick? If it were me, I can't imagine how scared I'd be. I hope her mother can recover her health soon."
Jiang Cheng gently stroked Zhou Ying's hair, then casually gave Lin Qingxue's Moment a like.
Next, after the page refreshed, Zhao Linger's Moment appeared.
In the photo, she was sitting with colleagues from Xingchen Company, tasting a delicious Christmas cake.
It was accompanied by the text: "Even though we're working overtime, the Christmas atmosphere is still strong~"
Jiang Cheng gave it a like without hesitation.
Continuing to scroll down, he actually came across An Xin, who hadn't updated her moments in a long time.
She shared a warm scene of Annie carefully decorating the Christmas tree at home.
The caption said: "No one can handle this naughty child."
Seeing this, Zhou Ying pointed at the picture. "Isn't this the cute child we met at Steinway last time?"
Jiang Cheng nodded upon hearing this. "Actually, Annie isn't Sister Xin's biological child..."
After hearing this, Zhou Ying's mouth couldn't help but hang wide open.
"That's some major gossip! Looking at it this way, Sister Xin is actually quite nice. Normally, someone might have sent Annie to an orphanage."
