Chapter 172 - 69: The Four Heavenly Kings’ Team Building (Part 2)
Shen Yanzhi waved his hands frantically. "That’s really not necessary!"
He didn’t have a fetish for being a eunuch!!!
Jiang Li lifted her chin at Shen Yanzhi. "Go on, Pika Yan."
Shen Yanzhi dotingly ruffled Jiang Li’s hair. "Get some sleep."
Jiang Li couldn’t help but blush. ’Who could resist this?’
She scurried to the edge of the bed, slipped off her slippers, and climbed in, wrapping herself tightly in the blanket as if it could ward off everything.
She rolled around on the bed twice, then pounded the mattress with her hand. "Shen Yanzhi, honestly... doesn’t he know how handsome he is?"
She placed a hand on her cheek. It was burning hot, but it felt very reassuring.
Remembering her earlier bold declaration, Jiang Li quickly grabbed her phone, which she had placed on the nightstand before her shower.
She opened the almighty Taobao and searched for "eunuch clothes."
After browsing for a while, her eyes finally locked onto a eunuch’s outfit, specifically that of a director from the Eastern Depot.
It consisted of a long white shirt on the inside and a black robe on the outside. Just looking at it was captivating.
Jiang Li broke into a wicked grin. "I choose you!"
She placed the order in a flash.
Besides the eunuch clothes, she also bought a few other work uniforms from various professions, and even some body chains.
’If you’re going to go for thrills, you’ve got to go all the way!’
When Shen Yanzhi came out of the bathroom after his shower, Jiang Li was lying on her stomach on the bed, phone in hand, her legs swinging back and forth, revealing her fair calves.
He couldn’t help but gulp. He hadn’t expected to walk out to such a blood-pumping sight.
It was a real test of his willpower.
He took a deep breath and called out, "Xiao Li."
Hearing his voice, Jiang Li looked up, immediately put down her phone, and sat up.
She looked like someone who’d just been caught doing something naughty.
He walked to the edge of the bed, sat down, took off his shoes, and got in, pulling the blanket over his legs. "I thought I saw you yawning just now. Why aren’t you asleep yet?"
Jiang Li chuckled. "I was just chatting with Qingbao."
Shen Yanzhi couldn’t help but click his tongue inwardly. ’Staying up this late and keeping Jiang Li up with her.’
’She really needs to get a boyfriend. Then she wouldn’t have the energy to keep Jiang Li up for chats.’
A thought occurred to him, and he asked, "You mentioned before that Gu Mingyuan was going to have dinner with her. Did any sparks fly between them?"
Jiang Li gave Shen Yanzhi a disdainful look. "What kind of logic is that? Just because they have a meal together, sparks have to fly?"
Shen Yanzhi quickly shook his head. "No, that’s not what I meant."
Afraid of upsetting her, he immediately took her hand. "I was just thinking, he’s single, she’s single, they’re both unattached. We could play matchmaker."
Jiang Li retorted irritably, "Matchmaker, my ass. Whether Qingbao dates someone or not is her business. We’re not getting involved."
’Besides, if I were to play matchmaker, I’d be setting Zhong Mufeng up with my own cousin, not Gu Mingyuan.’
’At least I know Jing Jichuan inside and out. Gu Mingyuan is just a business partner.’
’Other than being a little rich and handsome, he doesn’t seem to have any other good qualities.’
Shen Yanzhi immediately agreed. "Okay, whatever you say."
Perhaps because he was so close to Jiang Li, Shen Yanzhi felt his senses fill with a faint, sweet fragrance—her scent.
Shen Yanzhi lifted a hand to sniff himself, then looked at Jiang Li. "Xiao Li, did you change your body wash?"
"COUGH COUGH COUGH—"
Jiang Li hadn’t expected him to be so direct. Her face flushed red as she said in a low voice, "No... My skin just felt a little dry, so I put on some body lotion."
Shen Yanzhi said, "Oh," in a thoughtful tone. "Then why don’t you put some on me?"
Jiang Li’s pupils contracted. "You’re a grown man! Why would you use body lotion!"
Jiang Li’s reaction confirmed the wild idea in his head. He pulled her into his arms, resting his head on her shoulder. "Darling, you’re really testing my endurance."
Now not only was Jiang Li’s face red, but her ears were too. Her voice came out muffled. "What are you talking about? I don’t understand."
Shen Yanzhi chuckled softly, and Jiang Li could even feel the vibration in his chest.
He took her hand and slowly guided it downward. "Darling, can you feel it?"
The hair on Jiang Li’s whole body stood on end. Her hand felt like it was holding a hot potato that she was desperate to drop.
Trembling, she stammered, "I-I’m going to sleep."
Shen Yanzhi gently nibbled on Jiang Li’s ear. "Don’t be in such a hurry. The night is still young."
The night was indeed long. Jiang Li had never felt time pass so slowly.
’So, in the end, was I torturing Shen Yanzhi, or torturing myself?’
