Chapter 57: Embarrassing

Jiang Cheng had just put on his clothes and stepped out the door when he saw a guard standing there, waiting to report something.

“Young Master, the girl you brought took your car and left.”

Jiang Cheng: “I know.”

The guard anxiously reminded him, “She drove off in your Night God.”

Jiang Cheng: “I know.”

The guard paused for a moment, then repeated, still uneasy, “It’s the one that Young Master Chen has been asking to borrow countless times, but you’ve always refused.”

Jiang Cheng frowned, a hint of impatience in his voice. “I’m not deaf, kid.”

Seeing this, the guard quickly apologized and turned to leave.

Inwardly, he was completely bewildered. It was clear his young master treasured that car the most. Young Master Chen had begged and pleaded countless times to borrow it, but now this girl had just driven off with it.

Jiang Cheng’s car was equipped with GPS. He picked up his phone to see where she had gone. When he unlocked his phone, the first thing he saw were two text messages about parking violations.

Jiang Cheng: “…”

Looking at the messages, he couldn’t help but smile. Then, he checked the GPS, which showed that the car was in an amusement park parking lot.

How carefree. She even went to the amusement park to play.

By the time Ji Shuyi got home, it was already dark. After a day of fun, she first took a shower and then soaked in a milk bath.

Jiang Cheng, who had already started studying for next semester’s courses, saw a notification on his phone that Ji Shuyi had arrived home.

All afternoon, he had been afraid that she would be too embarrassed to face him, and also afraid of disturbing her fun, so he hadn’t contacted her. Seeing that she was home, he immediately gave her a call.

“Sorry, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable…”

He called three times in a row, but each time there was no answer.

Could it be that she’s locked him in the doghouse again because of what happened this morning?

Jiang Cheng instantly panicked and quickly tried sending her a message on WeChat:

“What’s my darling doing?”

The message sent successfully, so he wasn’t in the doghouse.

However, he waited for ten minutes without receiving a reply.

His anxiety skyrocketed, and he sent another message:

“Are you angry?”

As soon as he sent it, he called again, still worried.

“Sorry, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable…”

Jiang Cheng’s face instantly darkened. He remembered what she had said:

Not answering the phone and not replying to messages means she’s angry and he needs to show up immediately to coax her.

Not daring to delay any longer, he put on his coat and drove over.

When he arrived at Ji Shuyi’s house, the guard at the gate let him in directly.

“Young Master Jiang.” Duoxi, who was wiping a vase in the living room, saw Jiang Cheng and immediately asked, “Are you here to see our young lady?”

Jiang Cheng immediately replied, “Yes, is she home?”

After Ji Shuyi accepted Jiang Cheng’s confession last night, she told the guard that he should let Jiang Cheng in directly whenever he came. She also instructed Duoxi that if she saw him, she should tell him to go straight upstairs to find her.

The first time Duoxi saw Jiang Cheng, she thought he was really handsome and a perfect match for her young lady. She had also seen him waiting for her young lady all night the other day. She had a good impression of him and wanted him to have a happy and fulfilling relationship with her young lady, so when she saw him come, she immediately said:

“Our young lady is upstairs. She’s been back for a while. I just brought her some snacks; she should be eating something. You can go directly to find her.”

Jiang Cheng was uncharacteristically polite. “Okay, thank you.”

Duoxi, watching Jiang Cheng rush upstairs, reminded him, “Third floor, the room at the very end. The one with the Monkey King at the door.”

Relying on his long legs, Jiang Cheng took the stairs a few steps at a time. When he saw the Monkey King, Sun Wukong, holding his golden staff at the door, he stopped and raised his hand to knock. After knocking several times without a response, he tentatively twisted the doorknob and found that it opened directly.

“Shuyi.”

Jiang Cheng glanced around the room and called out. There was no response. His hearing was sharp, and he faintly heard a sound coming from somewhere. He subconsciously walked towards the direction of the sound, calling out:

“Baby, are you in the room?”

“Ah!”

Ji Shuyi, who had just come out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel, was startled by the sudden appearance of a man in the room. She screamed involuntarily and her grip on the towel loosened.

In that instant, Jiang Cheng’s whole body stiffened, and his eyes went wide with shock.

Because his darling was stark naked, wearing nothing at all…

Ji Shuyi was so embarrassed and angry that she was about to cry. “Get out!”

Almost afraid to breathe, Jiang Cheng quickly turned around and strode out of the room.

Ji Shuyi hastily picked up the towel and wrapped it around herself. How could he have caught her at such an awful time? Usually, no one except Duoxi was allowed to enter her room. She had been covered in sweat after playing all day and had rushed to take a shower, forgetting to grab her pajamas. She had run out wrapped in a towel to get them, but unexpectedly…

The young girl was so frustrated and embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole and crawl into it. Why was she always embarrassing herself in front of him today?

Ji Shuyi changed into modest pajamas, hesitating to leave the room. But he had rushed over so late; could it be something important? After struggling for a while, she gritted her teeth and walked out.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Jiang Cheng standing there with his hand under his nose, looking up as if he was trying to stop something. She hurriedly asked:

“What are you doing?”

Hearing her voice, Jiang Cheng subconsciously turned to look at her.

As he turned, Ji Shuyi saw bloodstains on his hand and… his nose.

Ji Shuyi blinked in astonishment, then asked in a flustered voice, “W-what happened to you?”

As she spoke, she pulled him into the room, worried and anxious. “Come in quickly, I’ll have the doctor come and take a look.”

Jiang Cheng, dragged into the room by her, opened his mouth in a slightly discomfited way. “No need for a doctor. I just need to wash up.”

Ji Shuyi insisted with concern, “But you’re bleeding!”

Seeing her little face twisted with worry, Jiang Cheng kindly reminded her of the reason:

“Yeah, I got a nosebleed looking at you just now.”

Ji Shuyi: “?(??ω?? )?”

In her embarrassment and anger, she saw Jiang Cheng head straight for her bathroom while covering his nose. Suddenly remembering that the clothes she had just taken off were still lying there, she rushed up to grab his arm and said:

“You’re not allowed to go into my bathroom! I’ll just get you a wet wipe to clean up.”

Seeing her face flushed, Jiang Cheng had to agree. “Okay, that’s fine too.”

Ji Shuyi had him sit down on the sofa and quickly brought a wet wipe, handing it to him. Looking at the bloodstains, he looked strangely disheveled. This was the first time she had seen him so embarrassed. All her worries disappeared, and she couldn’t help but laugh. “Pfft hahaha…”

Then, belatedly realizing how insensitive she was being, she mocked, “You got a nosebleed?”

Jiang Cheng: “…”

That scene was so enticing. How could I not get heated?

Ji Shuyi laughed for a while before composing herself and asking more seriously, “Why did you come to my house so late?”
