After finishing dinner and chatting with the two elders for a while, Jiang Cheng didn't go out for a stroll again, but obediently returned to his room.
After washing up, he lay on the bed and sent a message to Jiang Churan.
Seeing that Jiang Cheng had arrived in Magic City, Jiang Churan quickly sent him a video call.
Once the video connected, Jiang Churan's figure appeared on the screen. She was wiping her wet hair with a towel while leaning her face close to the phone screen, looking at Jiang Cheng with a smile and asking, "How many days do you plan to stay this time?"
At this moment, Jiang Cheng's attention wasn't on Jiang Churan's question at all.
It was on her fair skin and exquisite facial features.
Damn, isn't this that familiar feeling of being in love??
Instantly, Jiang Cheng regretted not going out a little bit.
Generally speaking, Girls don't take video or voice calls from their boyfriends after removing their makeup.
Even if they do, they'll pick an angle and take a close-up shot, afraid of the other party discovering their imperfections.
Usually, those who take the initiative to video chat after removing makeup either have no interest in you at all, or they are extremely confident in themselves.
Logically speaking, Jiang Churan should belong to the latter category.
After all, her charm score is 96, right?
[Name: Jiang Churan]
[Age: 19 years old]
[Height: 172 cm]
[charm: 96]
[figure: 92]
[Privacy: 0]
[favorability value: 90 points]
This charm score is truly very high.
Even without makeup, the proportions of her facial features are practically perfect, without the slightest flaw.
Not only that, but she also has a unique skeletal beauty.
Noticing that Jiang Cheng was staring intently at her without saying a word,
Jiang Churan suddenly felt a bit uneasy and lacked confidence.
She involuntarily reached out and gently covered her cheek,
Her voice was slightly low, carrying a hint of confusion and anxiety as she asked in a small voice, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Sensing Jiang Churan's state of mind, Jiang Cheng smiled helplessly.
This is why so many beautiful women lose their confidence after marrying wealthy men.
This is the reason.
When one person's social status is far higher than the other's,
Or when the advantages the other party possesses are things they can easily obtain—
Then the capital one was originally proud of might no longer be so important in the other's eyes, and might even lose its original value.
In this situation, the person in the lower position starts to doubt themselves.
Following that comes a lack of confidence.
Because the capital you were originally proud of no longer has an effect on him.
Therefore, the most important thing for a man is to seriously make money.
As long as you have money, what woman can't you handle??
Staring intently at Jiang Churan on the screen, Jiang Cheng didn't hesitate to say sweet words: "Nothing, it's just that you're too beautiful, I couldn't help but be a bit dazed."
Jiang Cheng wasn't the type of person who desperately suppressed the other party just to get them; he wouldn't make her feel like she wasn't good enough for him just to make her submit.
On the contrary, if she was his woman, Jiang Cheng would encourage them to show their unique charm in the fields they were good at.
However, this was just Jiang Cheng's thought.
For Jiang Churan, the situation might not be like that.
Although she knew her charm was already quite outstanding among ordinary people,
The other party was Jiang Cheng after all.
The scene when she first saw Jiang Cheng in the bar was still vivid in her mind, with so many beauties surrounding him.
Since childhood, she had heard too many people praise her beauty, to the point that these compliments had become somewhat numbing to her.
But now, being praised by Jiang Cheng like this, she still couldn't help but break into a smile.
"You really know how to praise women..."
What does 'praising women' mean??
Jiang Churan's words hit the nail on the head.
For a man like Jiang Cheng who liked to walk the'shady paths,' what was there to praise about men?
But Jiang Cheng wouldn't admit it.
He directly followed Jiang Churan's words: "I'm telling the truth. If it's beautiful, it's beautiful; if it's ugly, it's ugly. I don't lie."
Although Jiang Churan's lips curled up again after being coaxed by Jiang Cheng's words, she was clearly not that easy to fool.
With a local Kyoto accent, she asked persistently, "I'm a bit curious, what's the most beautiful bare face you've ever seen?"
Oh ho, this question was really unusual.
At their age, under what circumstances would one see a bare face??
Wouldn't it have to be during an overnight stay??
This question could be called a 'free points' question.
To be honest, Jiang Cheng was really comparing in his heart.
In terms of charm, once it exceeds 95 points, everyone is actually about the same.
But among those who could compete with Jiang Churan, Jiang Cheng felt that besides Chloe, there was only Zhou Ying.
However, Chloe was white after all, and eyebrows are a weak point for white people when they have a bare face.
Light-colored eyebrows easily make them look a bit sickly.
So her bare face was far less stunning than when she wore makeup.
And Zhou Ying's bare face and makeup were almost no different.
This Beautiful Demoness not only had superior bone structure, but her bare-faced eyebrow shape was also very good, and her eyelashes were long enough to make people jealous.
Usually, when she only wore lipstick with a bare face, people would mistake her for having already applied makeup.
After a serious comparison in his heart, Jiang Cheng spoke up: "To be honest, I haven't studied women's beauty much, but the most beautiful bare face I've seen was actually in Su Province."
Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Jiang Churan's curiosity was instantly piqued, and she couldn't wait to follow up: "Su Province?? Who was that??"
"It was a volunteer teacher there. When I first saw her, she had used makeup to paint some black birthmark-like marks on her face, and she was wearing a very old-fashioned piece of clothing. She was sitting by the window grading homework while eating instant noodles. To be honest, she didn't seem very beautiful at first glance, but she left a deep impression on me, and I've always kept her in my heart."
Originally, Jiang Churan just wanted to use this question to fish for Jiang Cheng's views on other women, but she never expected the topic to suddenly be taken to such a high level.
Jiang Churan no longer had the heart to ask about other women he had seen.
The figure of that volunteer teacher kept appearing in her mind, as if she could see her busy look by the window.
Her tone also became gentle, and she said softly, "Now that you say that, I suddenly feel like I have a sense of the scene..."
He chatted with Jiang Churan about this and that for over half an hour.
During that time, her attention was attracted by the arrangement of Jiang Cheng's room, as well as some famous paintings and antiques.
As a local Kyoto person, Jiang Churan naturally knew what a Courtyard House represented.
Moreover, the Courtyard House Jiang Cheng lived in was clearly not the kind in a crowded compound.
Looking at the specifications, it wasn't even the kind of traditional Courtyard House that couldn't be demolished and had to be kept in its original state.
Instead, it was a Courtyard House that retained some traditional designs after being rebuilt.
This kind of courtyard was definitely not something one could live in just by having money.
Jiang Churan sighed inwardly, while also noticing that the topics Jiang Cheng talked about were all about famous masters and designs or arrangements she had never heard of.
Facing such professional topics, she felt it was really difficult to interject, let alone talk about topics between women.
In Jiang Churan's eyes, someone like Jiang Cheng who had already reached such a status might be just like Big Brother Qiangdong, someone who wouldn't know his wife's beauty in the future.
She feared Jiang Cheng simply wouldn't have time to linger on women all the time like she did.
In Jiang Churan's view, Jiang Cheng was a person with pursuits.
He was different from a shallow person like her.
So, what she should improve might be her vision and her own strength.
Rather than pestering him here about such trivial and shallow matters.
Unknowingly, amidst the Courtyard House and Jiang Cheng's conversation,
Jiang Churan brainwashed herself.
She spoke with a slight apology, "I might not be free to accompany you these next few days. We have rehearsals for Qingming Festival, and we have to be there at six in the morning."
After saying that, Jiang Churan added another sentence, looking like she was afraid Jiang Cheng wouldn't believe her and would get angry: "Wait for me for a few days. After the rehearsal is over, I can accompany you..."
Although he didn't blame her, Jiang Cheng still put on a disappointed look.
"I was thinking of finding you for breakfast tomorrow. We haven't seen each other for so long, I miss you very much."
"I also really want to enjoy this delicious meal with you, but the meal times during rehearsal are really too tight. I don't want you to always make a trip for nothing," Jiang Churan explained apologetically.
After a brief pause, she seemed to think of something and hurriedly added, "How about letting Xu Yan and Shen Shuang accompany you? Their rehearsals are very relaxed and they have plenty of time."
It's a good thing her two best friends didn't hear this.
Otherwise, they would definitely cry out that it's heart-wrenching.
In fact, Jiang Churan was actually very lucky.
Why say that? Because she was a local Kyoto person.
Although her family conditions were average, she was able to attend university in Kyoto.
Even though the competition in Kyoto was fierce and there were many people with connections,
Even so, her opportunities were more than those of people from other regions.
In particular, various activities naturally had an advantage over other places.
Take the Spring Festival activities for example; if it were a dance student from another region, even if their talent was the same as Jiang Churan's, they would definitely have no chance to participate.
Jiang Cheng showed a difficult expression, as if he were being forced, and slowly asked, "Then what about the two of them?"
Seeing this, Jiang Churan quickly explained, "Xu Yan should be sleeping in the dormitory; she's the only one there now. She always complains that Shuang Shuang and I get up too early every morning and are too noisy, so she hasn't come over lately."
After hearing this, Jiang Cheng was silent for a moment and suddenly said, "When you're done with your work, I'll take you to buy a house."
Hearing this, Jiang Churan couldn't help but be shocked. Although she was a bit surprised, she didn't feel that Jiang Cheng was making empty promises.
After all, Jiang Cheng's previous actions had all been so generous, without the slightest sign of empty promises.
However, even though Jiang Churan had long been prepared to entrust herself to Jiang Cheng, a house was different from general luxury goods.
Jiang Churan didn't put on an act to refuse, but she didn't dare to accept rashly either.
Her expression was slightly unnatural as she said softly, "Let's wait and see. I just agreed with Xu Yan and Shen Shuang that if you want to eat authentic food, you can let the two of them take you. They are true foodies and are very good at finding delicious food."
On this point, Jiang Cheng actually didn't quite understand Jiang Churan.
Others were all about guarding against fire, theft, and best friends.
She was great; she wasn't afraid at all of him having contact with her best friends.
But in reality, Jiang Churan's thought was that instead of letting Jiang Cheng go find someone else, it was better to let her best friends accompany him, so he wouldn't have time to go find other young ladies.
With each having their own thoughts, the two of them agreed with a tacit understanding.
After being affectionate for a while, the time quietly reached past ten o'clock.
After hanging up the video call, Jiang Cheng made a video call to Xu Yan.
Over on Xu Yan's side, just as Jiang Churan said, she was already sleeping her beauty sleep in the dormitory.
Suddenly woken up by the wechat voice call, she frowned and dizzily opened her eyes to glance at her phone.
Seeing the contact starting with the character "Jiang," she mistook it for Jiang Churan and answered crossly.
"What? I'm sleeping now, why are you looking for me? Hmph---so annoying..."
After the impatient questioning, this Girl followed up with several coquettish sentences.
Not to mention, this Girl was quite interesting.
The following sentence instantly made people lose any objection to the small temper she showed earlier.
Moreover, her voice, which carried a hint of raspiness from just waking up, felt quite nice.
It instantly made Jiang Cheng substitute it into the kind of voice during 'those' moments.
It was a bit sexy, huh.
Especially since she hadn't turned on the light, the whole screen was black.
It made it easier for people to associate it with the feeling of doing work with the lights off.
After putting away his thoughts, Jiang Cheng slowly leaned closer to the screen, as if afraid of waking something up. He lowered his voice and replied softly, "I'm calling you to get up and pee..."
This one sentence was like a clap of thunder exploding in Xu Yan's ear.
"Holy crap!"
Xu Yan cursed inwardly. Originally still immersed in a beautiful dream, she was so startled by this sudden voice that her sleepiness completely vanished.
She sat up abruptly.
The movement was so large that she even swiped a small night light by her pillow and turned it on.
Dizzily, she picked up her phone and brought it close to the light, wanting to see clearly who the person on the screen was.
When she saw clearly that the person on the other side of the phone screen was actually Jiang Cheng,
The expression on her face was even more spectacular.
She was stunned for several seconds without reacting.
For a moment, she even wondered if she was still dreaming.
Or if she was having a hallucination.
To confirm it wasn't a dream, Xu Yan even reached out and gently patted her own head.
She stared blankly at Jiang Cheng on the screen, at a loss for a moment.
This was the first time Jiang Cheng had taken the initiative to make a video call to her! He leaned closer to the camera to stare at her again.
Feeling a bit guilty from being looked at by Jiang Cheng, Xu Yan tidied her messy bangs and asked somewhat shyly, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Jiang Cheng didn't praise Xu Yan like he had praised Jiang Churan just now.
On the contrary, he actually reached out and pointed with a serious face at the corner of Xu Yan's eye on the screen, saying, "You have a sleep crust here..."
