Let's Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 351: Chapter 351: Glory From Below (28)

Jiang Liang returned home, restless and uneasy.

Finally, he logged into the game and sneakily checked if Chuzheng was offline before heading to the PK arena.

He dueled several players in a row, but his mood only worsened.

It was like the moment of awaiting one’s grades, too scared to look at his own results.

Anxious, nervous, and unsettled…

Jiang Liang sent another player back to the respawn point, propped his chin, and stared at his character in the game.

He really wished he could be Jiang Liang in the game.

Rather than…

Sometimes, Jiang Liang even despised himself.

He wanted to change, but he just couldn’t manage it.

[Private Message] Top of the Leaderboard: Did little sister treat you to a meal today?

[Private Message] Jiang Liang: Yeah

[Private Message] Top of the Leaderboard: Why the long face?

A few days ago, when they talked about it, he was thrilled.

[Private Message] Jiang Liang: …

Jiang Liang didn’t know what to do; he felt terrible and wanted someone to talk to.

Top of the Leaderboard was the best choice, in fact, the only choice.

[Private Message] Jiang Liang: She kissed me today.

[Private Message] Top of the Leaderboard: !!!

[Private Message] Top of the Leaderboard: She took the initiative to kiss you?

[Private Message] Jiang Liang: Yeah.

[Private Message] Top of the Leaderboard: Shouldn’t you be happy then? It’s your first time liking someone, she likes you back, and even kissed you—that’s a huge step forward!

Top of the Leaderboard thought, according to Jiang Liang’s pace, holding hands would be a year away.

But just a few days in, they kissed!

His kid finally had things figured out!

[Private Message] Jiang Liang: But… she didn’t say she liked me.

[Private Message] Top of the Leaderboard: …

[Private Message] Top of the Leaderboard: What do you mean? You two kissed, and she doesn’t like you?

[Private Message] Jiang Liang: I don’t know.

Jiang Liang briefly recounted the recent events to Top of the Leaderboard.

[Private Message] Jiang Liang: Do you think she will reject me?

[Private Message] Top of the Leaderboard: She shouldn’t, didn’t she kiss you on her own?

Top of the Leaderboard was actually clueless.

These things were so uncertain.

Especially with that girl… Top of the Leaderboard never really understood her.

What if she was only attracted to his looks?!

Thinking of this, Top of the Leaderboard felt it was extremely urgent.

[Private Message] Top of the Leaderboard: Jiang Liang, I’m telling you, you can’t do anything with her!!!

[Private Message] Jiang Liang: Like what?

[Private Message] Top of the Leaderboard: [Image]

Top of the Leaderboard sent Jiang Liang a very explicit picture.

[Private Message] Jiang Liang: …

Jiang Liang blocked Top of the Leaderboard.

Just as Jiang Liang was about to log off, he caught a glimpse of his private messages, and Chuzheng’s avatar popped up.

His heart instantly started pounding.

Jiang Liang even forgot to breathe normally.

His gaze fixated on the bouncing avatar.

He took several deep breaths, moving the mouse over to the avatar—

No, that’s not right.

She doesn’t know he is Jiang Liang in the game.

Jiang Liang had this thought, feeling like a bucket of cold water had been poured over him, chilling him to the core.

He had hinted at it before; his name was so obvious, how could she not ask him about it?

Jiang Liang, dejected, clicked on the avatar.

[Private Message] Top Gold Spender: You kiss well.

Jiang Liang: “!!!”

Jiang Liang’s panic kicked the computer’s power cord.

The computer screen went dark in an instant.

He must have seen wrong. @@novelbin@@

It must have been a mistake.

Jiang Liang calmed himself and rebooted the computer.

The computer booted up quickly, but to Jiang Liang, his computer seemed to boot up really slowly.

Once he logged back into the game and opened the private chat.

[Private Message] Top Gold Spender: I can like you, but you have to behave.

Jiang Liang: “!!!”

It’s over!

I’m done for.

Jiang Liang sprang up and fell back onto the bed behind him.

Ahhh!!

She said she likes me!!

–

Chuzheng was woken up early in the morning by the doorbell, she covered her head irritably, unwilling to get up.

The doorbell rang briefly before quieting down, so Chuzheng continued to lie in bed and sleep.

Half an hour later, the doorbell rang again.

Chuzheng: “…”

Which lunatic!

Coming to her door to go crazy so early in the morning.

Chuzheng got out of bed, ran her fingers through her hair, and walked towards the front door, grabbing a knife from the living room on the way.

As she opened the door, there stood Jiang Liang.

Chuzheng immediately hid her hand behind her back.

The young man was dressed in casual home attire, wearing a hat with rabbit ears that made him look particularly cute.

His azure eyes shone bright, though there were dark circles beneath them.

His complexion was pale, making these dark circles quite noticeable.

Chuzheng watched him with an expressionless face.

“What do you want?”

“Morning,” Jiang Liang greeted softly, with a hint of caution and joy.

Chuzheng: “…”

Chuzheng looked back to check the time in the living room.

“It’s seven in the morning; you’re not sleeping and came over to say good morning to me?” He had knocked on her door half an hour before.

At six thirty, was he mad?

“I…”

Jiang Liang instantly became somewhat flustered.

Seven o’clock… time to get up.

“Come in,” Chuzheng said, stepping aside and stealthily placing the knife on a cabinet behind her.

“Ah…” He had just come over to say good morning.

Jiang Liang entered Chuzheng’s house feeling bewildered.

He didn’t know where to put his hands and feet and awkwardly followed Chuzheng inside.

When he raised his head, he found himself following Chuzheng into the bedroom.

Before Jiang Liang could react, Chuzheng had already roughly stuffed him into the blanket.

“I…”

Chuzheng lay beside him and hugged him: “Be quiet.”

Jiang Liang: “!!!”

I just came to say good morning to you.

Jiang Liang lay still, daring not to move.

Feeling the warmth and the breath of the person beside him, Jiang Liang felt he was about to suffocate.

–

Chuzheng was woken up by the ringtone of her phone.

She reached out beside her and touched something that wasn’t her own chest.

Chuzheng took three seconds to react.

She remembered Jiang Liang coming over to knock on her door early in the morning, and she had stuffed him into the blanket.

Chuzheng got up, climbed over Jiang Liang, and grabbed her phone.

The ringtone wasn’t very loud, and Jiang Liang wasn’t woken by it.

“Hello?”

Chuzheng lay back down, and Jiang Liang snuggled closer, so Chuzheng instinctively hugged him into her arms.

“Zhengzheng, are you awake yet?”

“Mm,” the original owner’s mother.

“Mom will be back soon, have you had breakfast?”

“!!!!”

Chuzheng glanced at the person in her arms and asked with extreme calm, “Where are you now?”

“I’m almost there; have you had breakfast? If not, Mom will buy you some,” Mother Lin’s voice was extremely gentle, with a bit of indulgence.

Although they often weren’t at home, they weren’t lacking in their affection for the original owner.

“No.”

“Then okay, Mom will buy your favorite for you.”

After hanging up with Mother Lin, Chuzheng looked at the person in her arms, feeling a bit worried.

How was she going to explain this to Mother Lin?

She never comes back early or late, why such a coincidence now?!

“Jiang Liang,” Chuzheng pinched Jiang Liang’s cheek.

Is it…this soft?

Chuzheng felt like she was pinching tofu.

So soft and smooth.

“Mm…” Jiang Liang was sleepy; he had been too excited to sleep all night.

“My mom’s coming back,” Chuzheng said. “Don’t make a sound later.”

Jiang Liang mumbled an acknowledgment in his drowsiness.

Seeing that he was extremely sleepy, Chuzheng didn’t disturb him anymore, laid him down properly, covered him up, and got up to leave.

She had just finished washing her face when Mother Lin came in with her hands full of bags, large and small.
