The young lady hired me to help her and the young master have an online romance.

Chapter 109 Life is short, seize the day

Jiang Wan's heart skipped a beat.

My fingertip hovers above the screen, unsure how to respond.

She could handle the reserved and brooding nature of the business world.

overtly flirtatious...

Jiang Wan stared blankly at her phone while Zhou Feiyan hurriedly pushed open the dormitory door.

"Bang!"

Jiang Wan snapped back to reality and her fingers flew across the keyboard—

Nice Rabbit Squid: [I really love the gift, brother has great taste! I have something to do, let's talk again when you get to Boston]

Lie: [Yes]

Jiang Wan put down her phone, ignoring her roommates' curious stares, and stubbornly refused to open the underwear box again.

She put the box back into the gift bag and placed it in the cupboard.

Then I put several sets of clothes, neatly folded, inside as well.

She placed the sunglasses on the table.

Three o'clock in the evening.

Shang Shixu boarded a plane bound for Boston.

After receiving the message that he had taken off, Jiang Wan breathed a long sigh of relief.

Finally, I can return to a peaceful life.

Jiang Wan looked out the window at the lush greenery...

Time flies, in the blink of an eye.

The evening breeze no longer carries the chill of spring.

The prelude to midsummer has quietly begun.

The cicadas' chirping was as noisy as if they were on stimulants.

Today is June 1st, Children's Day.

University students don't get holidays.

Not only will they not release it, but it's on Monday.

After attending classes all morning, at noon, Jiang Wan and Zhou Feiyan each carried a serving of cold chicken noodles back to their dormitory.

Wang Yurong was still eating with her boyfriend in the cafeteria.

Li Zhile sat with her legs crossed in the chair, playing on her phone while eating cherries.

Hearing the noise, she looked up. "Why did you two buy food and eat it today?"

Zhou Feiyan took out a small, down-to-earth stainless steel bowl, placed it in front of her, and began to complain.

"You have no idea how stuffy it is in the cafeteria. It was already hot today, and then the air conditioning in the cafeteria broke down."

"With so many people eating, Wanwan and I couldn't stay inside any longer."

Jiang Wan put the plastic bag containing the cold noodles into the ceramic bowl she had brought from home.

Li Zhile was glad that she hadn't gone to the crowded cafeteria.

"Would you two like some cherries? My mom just brought some over."

Zhou Feiyan immediately stopped what she was doing, "Eat, eat, eat!"

Jiang Wan: "Me too!"

Li Zhile glanced at Jiang Wan and said, "Beautiful ladies are not allowed to speak in dialects."

Jiang Wan laughed, "I learned it from the beautiful Li!"

Li Zhile was stunned for a moment, then remembered that she had said the same thing before, and smiled a little embarrassedly.

She generously grabbed two handfuls of cherries and delivered them to them.

Jiang Wan and Zhou Feiyan, being very perceptive, quickly pulled out a tissue and placed it neatly on the table.

The round cherries are like red agate.

Li Zhile: "It's been washed, so you can eat it directly."

Jiang Wan nodded, "I'll finish it after I finish eating."

With her mouth stuffed, Zhou Feiyan mumbled incoherently, "...I'll finish it now."

Li Zhile smiled and said, "If you're not full, I have more."

When Wang Yurong returned after dinner, she also received a handful of cherries.

She spat out the pits and chatted idly.

"Summer vacation starts in two weeks. What are your plans for the holiday?"

Zhou Feiyan bit off the piece of noodles in her mouth and said, "I'm going home to take my driver's license test."

"My mom said she'll buy me a car after I graduate next year so I can use it as a means of transportation when I start working."

Wang Yurong: "That's really great!"

Li Zhile crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair. "Just like every year, I'm learning how to manage my dad's furniture factory."

Wang Yurong looked at Jiang Wan, who was eating dry rice, and asked, "Wanwan, what about you? Are you still working a summer job in Haicheng this year?"

Jiang Wan put down her chopsticks. "I'm going home this year too."

"My parents are planning to sell barbecue outside a restaurant during the summer vacation, and I'm helping them out."

Li Zhile spoke up, "Selling barbecue doesn't make much money, does it?"

Jiang Wan revealed her dimples, "I'll earn as much as I can. The main thing is that my family isn't in debt anymore, so there's no pressure when I'm working."

Jiang Wan is a family-oriented person at heart.

I chose S University because it's close to home.

After Jiang Wan finished speaking, she asked Wang Yurong.

"And you? What are your plans?"

Wang Yurong rested her chin on her hand.

"I plan to go back to my hometown with my partner and find summer jobs."

"I can make money and see you every day."

Li Zhile gave her an admiring look. "Didn't you two get enough of being together at school?"

Wang Yurong rolled her eyes. "How can you never get enough of being with someone you like?"

"Life is short, so seize the day. That's my motto."

Li Zhile directly exposed her.

"Stop spouting those life philosophies. To put it bluntly, you're just lusting after Tian Yue, aren't you?"

Wang Yurong blushed and playfully teased her.

Zhou Feiyan joined their conversation.

The dormitory was filled with the girls' cheerful laughter.

Jiang Wan sat in her chair, staring at the gift box containing sunglasses on her desk.

It has been nearly twenty days since Shang Shixu returned last time.

Their agreement also has two weeks remaining.

It just so happened to be the time when she finished her exams and started her vacation.

Whether this scam can end smoothly remains to be seen.

Jiang Wan shook her head, pulling herself out of the internal strife.

We'll talk about it later; let's enjoy today first.

10:15 in the evening.

Jiang Wan finished her work at Yunshang Club and stood by the roadside, ready to call a ride-hailing car.

A low-profile black minivan slowly pulled up in front of her.

The rear window rolled down, revealing a familiar face.

Shen Che.

He smiled and said, "Wanwan, long time no see."

Jiang Wan nodded politely, "Long time no see."

Shen Che opened the back door.

"Get in the car, I have something to tell you."

After hesitating for two seconds, Jiang Wan bent down and crawled inside.

There was only one driver in the front row.

The car started and drove onto the main road.

Shen Che turned his head to look at Jiang Wan, "How have you been lately?"

Jiang Wan: "It's fine."

Shen Che waited for a while, but Jiang Wan didn't ask him a question.

So he took the initiative to speak.

"I'm starting filming a new movie in a couple of days, and it will last for three months."

Jiang Wan offered her blessings, saying, "I hope Brother Che's filming goes smoothly and the movie is a huge hit."

A smile appeared in Shen Che's eyes. "Do you have any plans for summer vacation?"

Jiang Wan: Yes, I help my parents run a restaurant.

"I see..." Shen Che's eyes darkened. "I wanted to ask if you would be willing to come and be my summer assistant."

"The film crew is in a newly built film studio. The environment is nice, and you can even treat it as a tourist destination."

"I can't leave home," Jiang Wan refused decisively.

Shen Che's smile faded, and he didn't try to persuade him any further.

He took a jewelry box from beside his seat.

"Children's Day gift".

Jiang Wan glanced at the box but didn't take it.

"I'm over twenty, not a child anymore."

"You can celebrate Children's Day even if you're not a child." Shen Che pushed the box forward a little more. "Here you go."

Jiang Wan still didn't accept it, saying, "Brother Che's gift is very valuable, I appreciate it."

Shen Che's hand froze in mid-air, his tone somewhat heavy.

"More expensive than the perfume you received for your last birthday?"

Jiang Wan was stunned.

Seeing that she still didn't speak, Shen Che continued to question her: "Why did you accept that one but not mine?"

"Who exactly is the friend who sent you the perfume?"

Jiang Wan snapped out of her daze and met his gaze.

Those eyes still looked gentle and clear.

But Jiang Wan was disgusted by his questioning tone.

"Why I accepted it, and who that friend is, are my private matters."

"Brother Che has no right to question me."

Jiang Wan's voice was like ice crystals.
