You Look Like You’re Made of Money

It was still raining outside, and the air conditioner was on. They were both sitting on the sofa doing nothing, just snuggled up and chatting, the atmosphere was really good.

"Something that left a deep impression?" Jiang Jingchuan tried to think back, "I remember, in junior high school, I had a girl at my desk who liked to read novels. Once she read a novel, she would want to forget its name and cry. I had no choice but to put them in my school bag and go home. I didn't plan to read them at all. It was too boring and crooked. I’m not interested in romance novels, if they were martial arts novels, then maybe I would have read them. Unfortunately, my mother came to my room that day and saw that I had it in my schoolbag. She didn't tell me and just took the book away, and I went to school the next day. At that time, she returned the book to me and asked me to return it to my classmate. You should have seen it, but my mother’s eyes were swollen that day, and she was at the same table as me.”

Su Yan asked in disbelief: “So Mama Jiang cried after reading the novel?"

Jiang Jingchuan nodded solemnly, "Yeah, then my dad scolded me, saying that my mother didn't sleep that night and stayed up all night reading the novel."

"No way?" Su Yan, I think Mama Jiang was dignified and elegant. She doesn't look like someone who stays up all night reading novels and tears until her eyes are swollen.

"Then I'm going to tell you a secret. In my mother's study now, the drawers on the bottom floor of the bookcase are full of novels when you open them."

"..." The image of the goddess collapsed a bit.

"What else?" Su Yan asked.

"One time I failed the exam and didn't get first place. On the surface, I didn't care, but I skipped class that day. I went to the game hall alone for an afternoon and went to buy a pack of cigarettes. I saw it on TV some time ago and thought men were very handsome when they smoked, so I hid and learned from a decadent teenager and smoked one. Maybe it was the first time I smoked. At that time, the reaction was so strong that I almost fainted. I squatted on the street for a long time before coming back to my senses." Jiang Jingchuan didn't smoke very much unless he was in a particularly bad mood, it refreshed him. At that time, he was too young, and his reaction after smoking was pretty big, which left a deep impression on him.

Su Yan didn't know what to say, so she could only give a thumbs up silently, expressing her admiration.

"Didn't you do such a stupid thing when you were in the second year of middle school?" Jiang Jingchuan wanted to talk about his own embarrassing things to get closer, but now his ears were a little red, and he felt that he was really stupid.

Su Yan also thought back seriously and thought of one thing.

At that time, she just knew that the emperor liked her. She couldn't believe it in her heart, but she was proud and calculative. To prove that the emperor really liked her, she hid in the rockery in the back garden one day, where only she knew. Every time she felt wronged, she wouldn't even go to the Dowager Empress to complain, and just hid there to cry. She prepared snacks and water that day, so it wasn't too hard. When it was getting dark, she slowly came out. It was the first time she saw the emperor lose his temper.

Later, she heard that the emperor thought she had been killed by someone else and ordered a search of the entire palace, but nothing was found. Even the Dowager Empress didn't dare to provoke him that day.

Since then, she has done some things to stimulate him. In fact, she was afraid. She was afraid that her backer would no longer like her one day. Now that she thought about it, she doesn't necessarily need to have no feelings for him.

Why was she like this if she only used him for his big golden thigh?

"I haven't, maybe in the future." Su Yan looked at Jiang Jingchuan.

Yes, she is such a person. To prove that she was cared for and to prove that her backing was still strong, she inevitably did something to prove it.

No matter how likable she was on the surface, she was actually an unlovable child at heart and always will be.

She knew even more that if someone fell in love with this unlovable her, then she couldn't help but love him, and even if she didn't love him, he couldn't abandon her.

It's just so domineering, so unlikable…

She didn't know that her character was weird. She can not love him, but he can't not love her. She can abandon him, but he can't even have the slightest thought about abandoning her.

To put it bluntly, once she really cares, the possessiveness in her bones is terrifying.

But she won't let anyone know.

Jiang Jingchuan didn't know what Su Yan was talking about, but looking at her eyes, he didn't ask any further. He just touched her head and said with a smile, "As long as you like it."

It was still raining at night, Zhou Lu and Xu Jianping went away in the rain. Jiang Jingchuan and Su Yan could not appreciate the unique taste of the couple, they stayed at home and faced the big problem of the people's livelihood.

Seeing Jiang Jingchuan clumsily slicing the meat, Su Yan sat idly by the side. She came over from time to time to wipe off the non-existent sweat on Jiang Jingchuan's forehead, and pretended to say, " Should I learn how to cook with Auntie Wang after I go back. ?"

She was only saying. Of course, men sometimes just want to hear such words.

It doesn't matter whether you do it or not, what matters is whether you say it or not.

This point of view was pretty pretentious, but Su Yan found out, that no matter whether it was ancient or modern, most people liked this kind of thing.

Jiang Jingchuan didn't turn his head back and said directly: "Forget it, there are very few such cases. If you like to cook and learn, it doesn't matter. If you don't like it, then you don't have to force yourself."

TL NOTES: Every time they talk about people's livelihood is just a roundabout way of them worrying about common daily things like cooking and cleaning, etc.

Also, Su Yan still has a long way to go before she can trust people lol.
