She looked at Jiang Cheng with eyes half-open from the pain.
She tried her best to keep her expression from turning into a grimace.
Bai Xiaoxiao spoke up, "Onii-chan, you're so powerful. I can't beat you, please be gentler."
Bai Xiaoxiao's plea for mercy clearly didn't earn her any pity from Jiang Cheng.
His fists fell rapidly and vertically like raindrops on one spot.
The beating made Bai Xiaoxiao wail incessantly.
She kept begging for mercy, "Onii-chan, please let me go, I won't dare do it again!"
After these few days of sparring, Jiang Cheng had long since become intimately familiar with the weaknesses of Bai Xiaoxiao's body.
Both his hands moved quickly, pinching those two obvious weak points.
He deployed his hand techniques, and before he had even used much of his strength, Bai Xiaoxiao started crying out again.
"Ah... faster, I'm about to lose..."
...The next day.
Around 11 AM, Bai Xiaoxiao was woken up by the ringing of Jiang Cheng's phone.
She saw Jiang Cheng fumbling for the phone with his eyes closed.
Bai Xiaoxiao sat up and rubbed her somewhat throbbing head.
Her mouth was dry, and she swallowed some saliva.
As she swallowed, she felt a slightly bitter taste at the corner of her mouth.
Internal heat?? That shouldn't be??
In her daze, Bai Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered the scene before she fell asleep last night.
She remembered that in the very last second before she passed out, she hadn't finished 'eating' yet.
So, did she fall asleep last night without rinsing her mouth??
Beside her, Jiang Cheng didn't notice Bai Xiaoxiao's resentful gaze at all. When he saw the caller ID was Wang Congcong, he couldn't help but feel a wave of helplessness.
He answered the phone irritably and said lazily, "Hello? What are you doing so early in the morning?"
Wang Congcong's voice came from the other end, sounding quite excited. "Haha, you're not awake yet? I was actually planning to head over and find you!"
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng's brow furrowed slightly as he asked suspiciously, "You're in Chengdu?"
Wang Congcong nodded on the other end and replied with a smile, "Yeah, I just got here this morning. I'm still at my grandmother's place. Want to grab lunch together?"
"Your grandmother is in Chengdu?"
Seeing that Jiang Cheng didn't know his family situation, Wang Congcong shrugged, feeling a bit unaccustomed to it.
Most people around him would secretly investigate him thoroughly.
Jiang Cheng seemed to have no interest in him at all.
He explained, "Yeah, my grandmother and my uncle are both here."
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng let out a massive yawn, then glanced at Bai Xiaoxiao, who was picking up her clothes and heading to the bathroom with a shy face.
Mhm.
That butt was big and round, looking quite nice.
"Alright, where are we eating? Send me the address..."
Before Jiang Cheng could finish, Wang Congcong interrupted him, "Wait, I happen to be by Deer Lake. I'll come over to your place for a visit."
"That works too. I'll send you the address then."
"No need, I know where you live. I'm heading over now."
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng was actually a bit surprised.
He remembered that he hadn't told Wang Congcong where he lived.
He must have done a background check.
"Oh, you're quite well-informed, even knowing where I live."
Wang Congcong laughed on the other end, his tone slightly teasing. "You didn't think you were being low-key in Chengdu, did you? How could I not know about this?"
"Well, I didn't expect the day would come when I'd be noticed by Young Master Wang," Jiang Cheng said half-jokingly.
Hearing Jiang Cheng's teasing, Wang Congcong complained, "Damn, your words are just toxic. By the way, I'm bringing a girlfriend along, you don't mind, right?"
"Which girlfriend??"
"Chen Yating. You really don't pay attention to me at all, do you? Wasn't it on the hot search yesterday? I'm heartbroken, man. This won't do; you have to treat me to lunch."
Is he joking? He spent enough time just flirting every day; why would he bother looking at gossip news?
"Stop pretending. Aside from the one in the news, you don't just have one girlfriend," Jiang Cheng said, directly shifting the topic.
"You can't just talk nonsense like that. I haven't reached your level yet; I date them one by one, seriously," Wang Congcong replied.
This time it was Jiang Cheng's turn to want to vomit.
So, was he throwing shade at me??
After hanging up the phone, the sound of splashing water came from the bathroom.
Jiang Cheng grabbed the mineral water by the bed and took two large gulps, slightly calming his mood.
A moment later, Bai Xiaoxiao walked out of the bathroom.
Seeing that Jiang Cheng had already started getting dressed, a clear expression of relief immediately appeared on her face.
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng smiled helplessly. "What's with that expression?"
Bai Xiaoxiao gave an awkward smile and quickly explained, "No... it's nothing, Onii-chan, don't overthink it."
With that, Bai Xiaoxiao acted as if she'd been electrocuted, quickly getting up to grab her clothes and frantically putting them on.
She recalled her miserable state of gasping for air yesterday.
At this moment, the look in Bai Xiaoxiao's eyes as she looked at Jiang Cheng was both shy and fearful; she no longer dared to have even the slightest thought of provocation.
Jiang Cheng unhurriedly straightened his collar and gave her a faint glance. "Didn't you say last night that your stamina was great??"
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that he had already fought twice before Bai Xiaoxiao started 'tormenting herself' in front of him,
even if Bai Xiaoxiao had eventually passed out, Jiang Cheng wouldn't have let her off easily.
In fact, Jiang Cheng really hadn't let her off.
At the critical moment, he still thrust a few dozen more times before letting her go back to bed.
Bai Xiaoxiao admitted defeat and said, "Onii-chan, I lost. Stop bullying me. I'm preparing to go back to Shanghai; you should go bully someone else."
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"Oh? Who was the one clinging to me these past few days, saying they wanted me to see their true strength? And now you're leaving already?"
Bai Xiaoxiao bit her lip, not daring to be stubborn anymore.
Mainly because when she looked in the mirror just now, she realized that not only had her dark circles worsened,
but other places were also at risk of being bruised black from the violent pounding.
Although she really wanted to compete with the other seniors, if she didn't maintain herself properly, how could she possibly compete?"}],
