After all, she knew Jiang Cheng well.
Although Jiang Cheng was usually very gentle, he was indeed quite domineering when it came to such matters.
So domineering that Zhou Ying felt a mix of resentment and numbness.
For instance, during the latter half of last night, she had already been drowsy and drifting off to sleep.
Yet, even though she was drifting off due to a bit of "motion sickness," Jiang Cheng still hadn't slowed down.
If it hadn't been for her body's instinctive reactions causing her to wake up gasping...
She wouldn't have known that Jiang Cheng could actually last that long.
Seeing Jiang Cheng start to "torture" her again with tireless enthusiasm,
Zhou Ying could only cooperate silently.
After all, they were still just in the testing phase.
This stage wasn't actually uncomfortable for a Girl.
It could even be described as pleasant.
Her only concern was the skin discoloration issue she had mentioned earlier.
At worst, she would kick Jiang Cheng out after today and focus on her dance practice, letting herself recover for a few days.
With that thought, Zhou Ying closed her eyes and silently cooperated with Jiang Cheng.
She hoped she could reach his desired standard sooner.
So that the teaching could end as soon as possible and she could suffer less... Three hours later, Jiang Cheng was kicked out by Zhou Ying using the excuse of Spring Festival Gala rehearsals.
Seeing Zhou Ying's unnatural gait as she walked, Jiang Cheng rubbed his nose awkwardly.
Alright... he admitted he had indeed overexerted himself a bit.
Helpless, Jiang Cheng could only take the car and head towards home.
On a winter afternoon, sunlight filtered through mottled clouds onto the street as the car slowly drove to the traffic light intersection near the school.
He saw Ye Wan walking slowly from the direction of the school.
She was small and thin, wrapped loosely in a light blue, thin down jacket.
The hem of the jacket swayed gently with her steps, looking somewhat empty, as if a gust of wind could blow her over.
Her slender wrists peeked out from the cuffs; her skin was slightly dry with a faint yellow tint.
Her hair was tied casually into a ponytail, with a few stray strands hanging down the sides of her face, the ends slightly curled.
The wisps of hair on her forehead took on a faint golden hue under the sunlight.
Although her eyes weren't large, they held a spark of liveliness.
However, she habitually kept her head down, her gaze carrying a hint of nervousness and shyness.
This behavior effectively hid the spirit in her features.
Her nose was small and delicate, its tip slightly red from the cold air.
Her lips were slightly chapped, showing a faint pink but looking somewhat dry.
Her chin was pointed, her face lacked flesh, and her cheeks were slightly sunken, making her look quite thin.
She gave off a fragile impression, like a small flower shivering in the cold wind.
She tightly gripped a silver thermos in her hand; the body of the cup reflected a soft light that contrasted sharply with her dull complexion.
This frail figure looked exceptionally thin in the sunlight, like a corner forgotten by the world, quiet and lonely.
Looking at Ye Wan, the image of her stubbornness when she handed him a red hundred-yuan bill the second time they met flashed through Jiang Cheng's mind.
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng gave an instruction to Wang Sheng, then opened the car door and stepped out.
He walked quickly towards Ye Wan and called out, "Student Ye Wan."
Ye Wan, who was walking quickly across the crosswalk with her head down, heard Jiang Cheng's voice and immediately looked up, turning to face him.
A flash of nervousness and shyness crossed Ye Wan's eyes. When she looked at Jiang Cheng, she instinctively glanced at the car beside him, but quickly looked away after just one glance.
She knew in her heart that her concern for Jiang Cheng far exceeded that of a normal classmate; this inexplicable sentiment was quietly growing in the depths of her soul.
Although Ye Wan didn't recognize the red flag car, she silently memorized its license plate number.
Not only that, she had subconsciously memorized the license plates of the other supercars she had seen Jiang Cheng in.
She didn't know why she did this, but it was as if anything related to Jiang Cheng naturally commanded her attention.
Upon looking, she noticed that this car didn't have a Shanghai plate, but a Kyoto one. This discovery sparked a wave of curiosity in her heart, but she didn't dare show it.
She didn't dare to ask, and she didn't even dare to look too deeply into her own behavior.
This was clearly a typical behavior of someone with a crush.
When you have a secret crush on someone, you not only silently look for traces of them,
but also watch them secretly when they appear, silently memorizing everything about them.
"Student Jiang Cheng," Ye Wan said softly, her voice trembling slightly.
Seeing the two of them standing in the middle of the crosswalk, Jiang Cheng instinctively pulled Ye Wan's arm, gesturing for her to move forward.
"Are you going to Simple Tea?" Jiang Cheng asked.
Although Jiang Cheng only held her sleeve for a brief two seconds, Ye Wan couldn't help but fixate her gaze on the cuff he had touched.
Ye Wan's face flushed slightly, and she felt her heart skip a beat.
It felt as if her heart was being pulled by an invisible force.
Seeing that Ye Wan didn't answer and only nodded silently, Jiang Cheng smiled helplessly.
Having not seen her for a few days, Ye Wan had clearly reverted to her "Little Mute" state.
Fortunately, Jiang Cheng had found plenty of release with Zhou Ying earlier.
He was currently in a very good mood.
Not holding it against Ye Wan, Jiang Cheng looked at the stubborn Little Mute with his hands in his pockets.
Finding something to say, he asked, "How has Simple Tea been lately?"
At the mention of Simple Tea, Ye Wan seemed to have found an excuse to talk to Jiang Cheng.
A faint smile played on her lips as she replied, "Business has been very good lately, especially the ice cream you suggested. It's the best seller. Even though it's winter, many people still come to buy it every day. During meal times, we're so busy we can hardly keep up..."
Noticing Jiang Cheng's gaze on her face, Ye Wan suddenly felt flustered.
She worried that her sallow complexion would make Jiang Cheng think she wasn't pretty enough.
Contrary to Ye Wan's thoughts, Jiang Cheng noticed that her complexion seemed a bit better.
Although she was still quite thin, the sallowness on her face seemed to have diminished.
This was likely the effect of the meal card subsidy from her part-time job.
If she could keep eating well and getting proper nutrition, she probably wouldn't be malnourished anymore.
Thinking this, Jiang Cheng silently opened the Character Scanning System.
[Name: Ye Wan]
[Age: 19]
[Height: 162 cm]
[charm: 78]
[figure: 70 (Malnourished)]
[favorability value: 85]
Compared to her initial stats, her charm had increased by 3 points and her figure by 5 points.
This data actually surprised Jiang Cheng a little.
For a moment, he couldn't tell if this was the system's effect or if Ye Wan simply had good genetics.
Logically speaking, chubby Girls usually had "giant pandas," as that's determined by fat accumulation.
Conversely, thin Girls were usually "rib-chested airports."
Unless you had specific superior genes, like those stunners Zhou Ying and Qiao Yinyin.
Having curves where they should be and being thin where they shouldn't be fat.
But for a Girl like Ye Wan, who hadn't developed well during puberty due to malnutrition,
even if she caught up later, the most likely outcome would be her facial features becoming fuller and her charm increasing.
While the "panda" part would also grow with weight gain,
there was still a high probability she would remain flat-chested.
He wondered how much Ye Wan's final figure and charm ratings would increase once her nutrition was balanced.
But he was a good man; besides, his original intention in helping Ye Wan wasn't for her looks.
Jiang Cheng nodded, pretending to care about Simple Tea's revenue.
"That's good. You've all worked hard. It's New Year's Day and none of you are on holiday. Has the store manager informed you? For the holidays, Simple Tea follows the market and pays triple wages. Also, I've prepared some gifts for you. Go to the store manager to collect them after work."
