Chapter 340: Chapter 213: Both Father and Son Have Turned into Scumbags, We’re Doomed

The bus swayed along, and the scenery outside the window slowly receded.

Jiang Sifan sat by the window, staring blankly outside, but his mind was filled with the scene from just moments ago.

He Lingyi, standing at the bus stop in that white dress, her face flushed and her eyes sparkling.

And that hug. She had thrown herself into his arms, so soft and fragrant.

His hand... he seemed to have accidentally touched somewhere he shouldn’t have.

Jiang Sifan’s face instantly turned red.

He looked down at his own hand, his fingers curling unconsciously.

That soft feeling...

A tingling numbness seemed to linger on his fingertips.

It was the distinct softness of a young woman, felt through her thin dress.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

’What are you thinking! She still has the college entrance exams in half a year!’

He cursed himself inwardly.

But the more he tried not to think about it, the more those images forced their way into his mind.

Her deeply flushed face, the faint scent on her body, her quickened breath as she leaned against him...

Jiang Sifan buried his face in his hands and let out a muffled sigh.

He remembered the joyful way He Lingyi acted whenever she saw him, the way she said, "That little girl was me!", and her clever little trick today of pulling her hand away so he would stumble into her.

She really liked him.

It was a kind of affection that was impossible to hide.

But what about Wen Wan?

Jiang Sifan’s thoughts turned to Wen Wan again.

The girl who always quietly stayed with him as he worked overtime late into the night, the girl who was the first to stand up for him when he was in trouble, the girl who said, "Whatever you decide, I’ll support you."

Wen Wan’s affection was hidden in her heart, like a quiet stream, silent but ever-flowing.

Two girls. One was outgoing and lively, the other reserved and intelligent.

One made him feel the warmth of being loved; the other quietly supported him from behind the scenes.

Who on earth should he choose?

Or rather, did he even have the right to choose?

Jiang Sifan leaned against the bus window, watching the sky grow darker outside, his thoughts a tangled mess.

...

The next morning, Jiang Sifan arrived at the studio with dark circles under his eyes.

Wen Wan was already there, wiping a table with a cloth.

Sunlight streamed in through the window and fell upon her, making her look like a beautiful angel.

Today she wore a white long-sleeved shirt with light blue jeans. It was a simple outfit, but it gave her a clean and pleasant look.

Hearing the door open, Wen Wan looked up. Seeing Jiang Sifan, she smiled and greeted him, "Monitor, morning."

But as soon as the words left her mouth, she froze.

"Monitor, what’s wrong with you?" Wen Wan put down the cloth and hurried over, her eyes filled with concern. "Did you not sleep well last night? Those dark circles..."

Jiang Sifan touched his face, feeling a little guilty as he said, "It’s nothing. I just had some milk tea and couldn’t sleep."

Wen Wan studied him carefully, still worried. "Monitor, why don’t you go back and get some more sleep? I can handle things here at the studio by myself."

"No, how could I? You’d be too tired on your own," Jiang Sifan said, shaking his head.

Wen Wan insisted, her face flushing. "I won’t be tired. There’s nothing major to do today anyway. You should go back and rest. You look terrible."

Looking at her earnest expression, Jiang Sifan’s heart suddenly warmed.

She was always like this, always thinking of him in everything and never considering herself.

He suddenly said, "Wen Wan, how about we don’t work today?"

"Not work? Then what will we do?" Wen Wan paused, looking surprised.

Jiang Sifan looked at her and asked back, "What do you want to do?"

At his question, Wen Wan’s face immediately flushed.

She lowered her head, unconsciously fidgeting with the hem of her shirt, and said in a small voice, "I... I don’t know what I want to do either..."

Seeing her like that, an idea suddenly struck Jiang Sifan.

He remembered how much fun He Lingyi had when he took her to the amusement park.

’Girls probably all like places like that, right?’

He asked tentatively, "How about we go to the amusement park?"

Wen Wan looked up, her eyes instantly brightening, but she quickly grew hesitant again. "The amusement park? But... work..."

Jiang Sifan laughed and cut her off. "Work is never-ending, but fun should be had while you can. Come on, let’s give ourselves a day off today."

"Is that really okay?" Wen Wan looked at him, tempted but still unsure.

Jiang Sifan nodded. "Of course, it is."

Wen Wan hesitated for a moment, then looked down at her clothes and said, her face red, "Monitor, I want to go home and change. This... this outfit isn’t very nice..."

Jiang Sifan looked at her white long-sleeved shirt and jeans and chuckled. "No need to change. You look good in anything, and I think this outfit is especially suitable for you."

Wen Wan froze, finding it a little hard to believe. She said awkwardly, "Isn’t this just a really plain combination? What’s so good about it...?"

Jiang Sifan said seriously, "I just like this kind of pure and innocent feeling."

Wen Wan’s face turned completely red, as red as a ripe tomato.

She lowered her head, not daring to look at him, her heart pounding wildly.

After several seconds, she finally answered in a small voice, "Then... okay, then."

...

The two of them left the school gates together and walked toward the bus stop.

Wen Wan walked beside him, her head lowered and her face flushed, lost in thought.

When they reached the bus stop, she suddenly seemed to remember something and asked quietly, "Monitor, are the amusement park tickets expensive?"

Jiang Sifan answered casually, "Not really. Around two hundred per person."

Hearing this, Wen Wan lowered her head, took out her phone, and looked at something.

She bit her lip and hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded as if she had made a decision.
