Chapter 2 — Little Sun In Your World

After school that day, I saw him packing up his books and preparing to leave, so he quickly blocked the back door like an arrow. He raised his eyes, his beautiful pupils finally rippled — but "uncomfortably". He pursed his lips, using his mouth, not making a sound: "Get away." I smirked and took out my "secret prop" from my bag —— a pair of pink lace panties. I shook it in front of him: "Aren't you going to explain anything, classmate Giang? You left this at my house yesterday, do you still need it?" Jiang Chen's pupils shook as if he had encountered a level eight earthquake. The face of that "ice mountain" finally cracked and collapsed. A few classmates around me gasped, clearly seeing what was in my hand, everyone took a deep breath of cold air, followed immediately by loud laughter and loud whistling. "Shut up! Does the ice-faced male god like this style?" "You can't look at the face and get a picture! It's the exact opposite!" “Pink… and lace… it's so pretty~~” Giang Than's face was clearly visible to the naked eye - from white, to red, then purple-blue, and finally black as the bottom of a pot. He waved his hand to snatch it back. I was prepared, dodged to the side, held up the "evidence": "Don't snatch it, how many people are watching." I smiled mischievously, like a female delinquent. He was so angry that his whole body was shaking and his eyes were red. I thought he was about to hit someone, but unexpectedly he took a deep breath, as if mustering all his strength, squeezing out three words from between his teeth: "...Not mine." The sound was hoarse and dry, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time. But that's the voice! In my heart I whispered "Yeahhh!", but on the outside I pretended to be resentful: "Why don't you admit it, Giang Than? You make me feel so sad. Did you forget the scene yesterday when you wore it and danced in front of me? You even said this was your favorite battle armor..." "Shut up!!" Giang Than roared, for the first time, his voice echoed throughout the classroom! This time he said three words, much more fluently than just now, and the volume was much louder! I felt like I should "stop riding the horse", so I stuffed the pink underwear back into my bag, grinned brightly, revealing a row of perfectly white teeth: "Okay, no more teasing you. Let's go, your brother said we have to go back to the old house to eat today." Giang Than still stood there, still unable to escape the shame and anger he had just felt. I frankly reached out, grabbed his cold wrist, and pulled him straight. His wrists are very thin, but strong. At first he struggled, but eventually gave up resisting. Passing by Bach Vu Yen, her eyes looked at me like a poisoned needle. “Lin Xiaoyu, you are so shameless!” I narrowed my eyes, smiled brighter, and raised my hand to wave: "Thank you for the compliment, it's the same for everyone." Dragging a petrified Jiang Chen out of the teaching building, I immediately took out my phone and sent a text message to Giang Phong: 【Phase one has been completed. It speaks two sentences, a total of six words. Please pay the first installment, five hundred thousand.】 Instant response: 【The card was given to you, swipe it yourself.】 【Also, let it say more. With each word more, I added another ten thousand to the card. Unlimited.】 I looked at the mobile screen, smiling so much that my eyes narrowed into lines. Shouldn't we just force him to open his mouth and speak? This money... still exists Faster than robbing a bank! I turned my head to look at Giang Than walking next to me. He was still angry, his lips were pursed, his ears were still red. “Hey, Giang Than.” He ignored me and walked faster. “That voice you just said… sounds great.” His steps slowed down a bit, but he still didn't turn around, just walked more stiffly. "It's just a bit hoarse, like a singer who just woke up from a hangover. It's so charming. Normally, you have to drink a lot of water, talk a lot, and gradually practice and you'll be fine." Giang Than walked faster, as if he was taking a high-speed walking competition. And I stayed close by, chirping and chirping, like a sparrow chirping in my ear.

"Don't be angry anymore, I just bought that underwear, the tag hasn't been removed yet. I just want to make you speak, I don't have any other intentions." I tilted my head and smiled: "If you really like it, I'll give you one. What color do you like? Black? White? Or lace? I think the thin, see-through lace suits you quite well - icy on the outside, hot and discreet on the inside." Giang Than stopped, turned his head, his complicated eyes stared at me. In those eyes, there was anger, helplessness, shame, and a hint of... resignation. He gritted his teeth and spoke intermittently, each word seemed to be pulled from the bottom of his throat: "You..." (pause) "In the end, what do you want to do?" Five words! Fifty thousand yuan flew straight into her pocket! In my heart, the cash register rattled "tick tick tick". I grinned brightly, my eyes curved like a new moon: "I just want you to say more." I raised my finger and pointed at his lips: "You see, you said it very well. Say a little more, I'd love to hear it." Perhaps in his life he had never met a thick-faced person like me, so he was so angry that he was speechless and didn't know how to refute. Finally, he just glared at me fiercely, then turned around, took long strides, and walked as if there was fire under his feet. See, dealing with this type of person... Face, dignity, self-esteem, everything is superfluous! 3 The old house of the Giang family, located in the most expensive area in the city center, is an ancient Chinese-style mansion with a curved tile roof and winding corridors. Upon entering, you can smell the scent of agarwood mixed with the taste of time. When Giang Than and I arrived, Giang Phong had been standing at the gate waiting for a long time. When he saw us, he immediately smiled with satisfaction, walked up, and patted Giang Than's shoulder firmly: "Ah Than, at school today... how do you feel?" Giang Than had no expression on his face, glanced at him, without saying a word, walked around him and went straight inside. Giang Phong didn't pay any attention, turned his head to look at me, his voice was much gentler: "Thank you, Miss Lam. I just received the news, he said three sentences at school today." I immediately corrected myself - this was directly related to the money-making KPI: "It's four sentences. When he left, he asked me what I wanted to do. Five words, fifty thousand yuan, please write it down in the book." Giang Phong's eyes lit up, the corners of his lips curled slightly: "Oh? That's even better. Come on in, dinner is ready." In the dining room, besides the three of us, there was also a gentle middle-aged woman, and an old man sitting in the chair position - just sitting still gave off an oppressive aura. He was definitely Giang Chinh Hong, the head of the Giang family, and also the grandfather that Giang Phong had mentioned. He just glanced at us, then bowed his head to drink tea, and the temperature of the whole dining room seemed to drop a few degrees. Giang Phong introduced the other woman: "This is Aunt Truong, who has watched my brothers and I grow up since we were young." Aunt Truong looked at Giang Than, her eyes were slightly red, her voice was choked: "A Than, it's been a long time since you've come home to eat... You've lost a lot of weight." Giang Than bowed his head silently, just quietly eating, not saying a word. Looking at this scene, my heart ached a little. The house is so big, yet so cold. The so-called "noble family" actually has no human warmth at all. Giang Than grew up in an environment like this... no wonder his personality is closed. The entire meal, aside from the sound of dishes clinking and chopsticks, was a dead silence. Finally, Giang Chinh Hong put down the tea cup, his sharp eyes swept straight towards Giang Than. "Next month's family meeting - if you still don't open your mouth by then, get out of the Giang family. The Giang family doesn't raise trash." Giang Than's fingers holding the chopsticks suddenly tightened, his joints turned white. I clearly saw his whole body trembling, but he still bowed his head and didn't say a word. Giang Phong was about to speak, but a cold glance from his grandfather stopped all the words in his throat. "And you," Giang Chinh Hong's eyes slowly turned to me, sharp as an eagle's eyes, carrying a suffocating pressure: "No matter where you come from or what tricks you use, within a month, you must make it open its mouth. If you can do it, what Giang Phong promised you, my Giang family will pay double. If you can't do it - you get out of A city." This is clearly a naked threat. I swore 800 times in my heart, but my face was still smiling brightly: "Don't worry, I'm sure to complete the mission!" Today's meal... I ate so much that I felt bloated and had indigestion. After eating, Giang Phong called me into the study room. He poured me a glass of water and lowered his voice: "My grandfather has such a temper, don't take it to heart."
