When they arrived at the villa in Deer Lake,
before Zhou Ying even had a chance to properly look around, she was hurriedly pulled into his room by Jiang Cheng.
Seeing Jiang Cheng lock the door without hesitation as soon as he entered,
and then quickly take off his coat and sweater, leaving only the T-shirt underneath,
Zhou Ying's small face instantly turned beet red.
"You baddie, didn't you say you wanted to do practice problems?!"
Hearing this, a smirk like a small Nike swoosh tugged at the corner of Jiang Cheng's mouth.
"Yeah, don't rush. It's just a bit hot. There will be more problems than you can handle in a bit."
After saying that, Jiang Cheng began to slowly unfasten the watch on his wrist.
Step by step, he forced Zhou Ying toward the desk in the room.
Soon, her petite figure was pinned against the desk by Jiang Cheng.
The distance between them was so close they could almost hear each other's breathing.
Zhou Ying's heart rate grew increasingly rapid.
After taking a deep breath, she nervously closed her eyes and slowly leaned in.
Just as she was about to touch Jiang Cheng's lips,
Jiang Cheng actually pulled out a copy of "Three Years of College Entrance Exams and Five Years of Simulations" from a bookshelf on the desk.
He then waved it in front of Zhou Ying.
When she saw the test paper, Zhou Ying finally snapped out of it.
Her eyelashes trembled violently, and her fingers unconsciously gripped the hem of her school uniform.
She had clearly seen the burning fire in Jiang Cheng's eyes when he was taking off his coat.
Once she realized what was happening, her eyes immediately widened as she stared at Jiang Cheng.
She said coquettishly, "You baddie, you... you did that on purpose!"
Seeing Zhou Ying's reaction,
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but rest his forehead against her shoulder, letting out a low, muffled chuckle.
The laughter vibrated through her shoulder and spread throughout her body, making her feel involuntarily numb.
"Looking at you, it seems you don't really want to do practice problems." Jiang Cheng's voice rang in her ear, tinged with a hint of teasing and playfulness.
Zhou Ying's face instantly turned bright red.
Refusing to back down, she snatched the test paper from Jiang Cheng's hand.
She muttered, "I'll do them. It's only been half a year; I still remember all the knowledge points."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Cheng suddenly lowered his head and rubbed his nose against the school badge on her collarbone.
His fingertips slid slowly down her spine, stopping at the hollow of her lower back.
"Jiang Cheng..."
At some point, two buttons on her school uniform collar had been rubbed open.
Zhou Ying's voice carried a sweet, sticky protest.
"Yesterday's meeting was too brief, and the 'docking' time was too short. Come, let me take a detailed look at the specifics now."
It had to be said that Zhong Chuxi's idea was excellent.
To be honest, even if Zhou Ying had changed into a cosplay outfit, it wouldn't have had as much of an impact on Jiang Cheng as her current look.
Although he hadn't focused his mind on Zhou Ying back then,
he had still appreciated the figure of the campus belle.
This Girl, who was the 'White Moonlight' for most of the boys in the school,
was now squatting under the desk in his room, going over test papers with him.
She was even wearing her 'Battle Robes' from back then.
This feeling gave him a profound sense of achievement.
Although Zhou Ying's face was so red it felt like it would explode,
she still cooperated fully with Jiang Cheng in checking the problems.
"Am I doing this right?"
"Mm, not bad. You've improved."
Jiang Cheng looked at Zhou Ying while reaching out to stroke her head.
Previously, she would have been somewhat shy about 'holding onto' Jiang Cheng so tightly.
But stimulated by that phone call from Zhu Yan,
Zhou Ying knew that there were too many 'loopholes' deliberately exposed around Jiang Cheng.
As long as she wasn't by his side, he could almost 'enter' whichever one he wanted.
Although such things depended entirely on self-discipline,
she also needed a sense of crisis. Whatever other women could give Jiang Cheng, she had to learn too.
It was the first time Jiang Cheng had been made to feel somewhat suppressed by Zhou Ying.
Finally, he really couldn't stand this state of being on the verge but not quite there.
He pulled Zhou Ying up in one motion.
The two of them began an intense 'verbal battle' over the math problems of this two-person war.
Next, Jiang Cheng had Zhou Ying demonstrate the method for connecting two points.
As well as the angles of trigonometric functions and the distance of the Pythagorean theorem.
After personally calculating and connecting for a good while,
Zhou Ying began to lose ground.
Aside from some hesitant nodding and shaking of her head,
she could no longer voice any other rebuttals.
In the end, she even began to shed tears in defeat.
Seeing Zhou Ying covering her mouth and crying out with tears flowing,
Jiang Cheng leaned down affectionately and reached out to wipe away her tears.
Unfortunately, as he wiped, more tears seemed to flow.
Zhou Ying's cries grew louder and louder.
She cried so hard that she eventually started gasping for air.
"Why are you crying like this? The desk is all wet."
Sobbing and shaking, Zhou Ying leaned against Jiang Cheng and gently hammered on him.
"You're horrible! Can't I just surrender? You won. Stop stimulating me; I really can't take it anymore."
After comforting her for a while,
Jiang Cheng took out some tissues from the desk and silently wiped away the 'tears' Zhou Ying had left on the desk.
Seeing that she had made Jiang Cheng's desk wet,
Zhou Ying also felt a bit embarrassed.
She shyly wanted to return to a normal position.
This perspective of looking down at Jiang Cheng from above was truly a bit humiliating for her.
Naturally, Jiang Cheng wouldn't let Zhou Ying off so easily.
"Not yet. I haven't pointed out your 'loophole' yet."
"Ah, no more, there's no need. Let me go, I don't want to see."
Resistance was futile; Zhou Ying's 'loophole' was very easy to find.
After all, this Girl had no cover at all.
Jiang Cheng directly pointed into it with his hand without mercy.
"Although this loophole of yours isn't very large, if we don't dig deeper, there will be obstacles in our 'docking' later."
Watching helplessly as Jiang Cheng mercilessly exposed her,
Zhou Ying bit her lower lip silently, her eyes full of tears.
