The Mad Young Master Falls Asleep Every Night to My Fragrance - Chapter 42

What is that bastard yelling about?!

The proprietress exclaimed with delight, “Youxi, you’re eating so well! If my daughter were half as sensible as you, I wouldn’t be worrying so much every day that I can’t eat or sleep!”

Jiang Youxi chuckled dryly twice: “Sister Qi, you’ve misunderstood. He’s not my boyfriend.”

The proprietress was surprised: “Oh, is that so? It’s alright! I think he’s easy to win over. If you pursue him seriously, you might just get him in a day!”

“…”

Jiang Youxi fled the scene in embarrassment and went into the changing room.

Why did you call me in?

“Help me fix my belt.”

Jiang Youxi glanced at his private parts subconsciously, and immediately blushed bright red: “You, you, you, can’t you do it yourself?”

She turned to run, but the man grabbed her waist and forcibly pulled her back.

“Who let me try on the clothes?”

“I……”

“You’re supposed to be respectful to your uncle, but you’re just using me as a tool. People throw me away after they’re done using me, but you throw me away after you’ve only used me halfway,” He Zhuo poked her chest with his hand. “Jiang Youxi, you have no heart.”

Jiang Youxi held his hands in both of hers and smiled, “Look at what you’re saying, when have I ever stopped wanting you?”

“Okay,” he said, opening his arms. “Come on.”

Jiang Youxi stole another glance at the man’s private parts.

How did you get it?

“Move it yourself.”

It moves on its own?

Okay, okay.

I endured it for my uncle’s sake!

Jiang Youxi took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and tentatively reached out her hands.

He Zhuo watched quietly as the small hand slowly approached him.

Her fingers were smooth and white, with pink nail beds, resembling the finest white jade.

Her fingers were like someone groping in the dark, tentatively exploring and groping around.

“Hiss—” He Zhuo gently patted her small hand, “Don’t touch me like that.”

A sudden numbness ran through her palm, and Jiang Youxi instinctively protested, “Who…who touched me like that?”

We just couldn’t find the belt buckle!

“Then why do I feel it so strongly?”

Jiang Youxi opened her eyes: “How does it feel?”

He said earnestly, “I can’t describe it.”

“…”

Jiang Youxi finally realized that this bastard was deliberately teasing her!

OK.

The body belongs to him.

He doesn’t mind, so why is she, a woman, being so coy?

Let’s finish this quickly and disperse!

Jiang Youxi finally made up her mind, her gaze falling openly on his waistband, precisely touching the metal buckle of his belt, and pulling and buckling it with both hands.

With a snap.

The belt buckle was successfully fastened.

Jiang Youxi patted the table with satisfaction: “Alright, let’s see how relaxed it is…”

“Jiang Youxi”.

Jiang Youxi looked up at him: “What’s wrong?”

Why are you taking pictures of me?

“I–“

“You captured the feeling perfectly in the photos.”

“…”

Jiang Youxi’s face instantly turned red: “You, you, you wear it yourself!”

After saying that, he turned and ran away.

He Zhuo chuckled softly.

coward.

—

Half an hour later, the two returned home with their loot full.

As Jiang Youxi walked out of the clothing store, she felt her face was still hot and didn’t dare to look him in the eye.

He Zhuo remained calm and composed, showing no embarrassment or awkwardness whatsoever.

As soon as the two stepped out of the mall, they saw a black Rolls-Royce parked at the entrance.

The car door opened, and a man in a suit stepped out.

“Send them back to Sunshine Community.”

“Yes, Mr. He.”

The man took the bags from He Zhuo, put them in the trunk, and then got into the car and drove away.

“who is he?”

“My assistant.”

As expected of the company’s CEO, he travels in luxury cars and has an assistant on call at all times.

Where else would you like to go?

“We’ve bought everything we needed, let’s go home.”

He Zhuo remained unmoved: “You’re just going back like that?”

“You still want to play?”

“I’ve been shopping with you all morning, and we haven’t even had a glass of water,” he said calmly, but every word pierced her heart. “Jiang Youxi, you are so cruel.”

“…”

Here we go again.

Jiang Youxi rubbed her forehead and sighed deeply.

She stepped forward, hands behind her back, tilted her head, and asked with a smile, “My dear Mr. He, what would you like to eat? It’s on me.”

He Zhuo gently tapped her forehead: “Let’s go eat.”

He Zhuo turned to leave when his phone suddenly rang.

He took it out, looked at it, and walked to the side to answer the call.

Jiang Youxi waited in place, looking around with utter boredom.

Jiang Youxi’s gaze suddenly froze when she caught sight of a familiar figure.

It’s my cousin.

She was dressed smartly, carrying a shoulder bag, and talking to a man.

The other person was dressed in a white suit, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, a sinister look in his eyes, and a frivolous, unrestrained smile.

Because of the distance, Jiang Youxi couldn’t hear their conversation, but she could see that the atmosphere between the two was not pleasant. Jiang Shuli’s eyebrows were furrowed, and her eyes were full of disgust for the man.

The man in white didn’t care at all. As he spoke, he reached out to touch her, but Jiang Shuli shook him off with one hand.

“Jiang Shuli, you’re lucky I’ve taken a liking to you, don’t you dare be ungrateful!” The man roared, throwing away his cigarette butt. “I’m asking you one last time, are you going or not?”

“Fang Qi, I’m reminding you one last time: if you harass me again, I will definitely call the police.”

“You really think I’m afraid of the police?”

Seeing the man about to attack again, Jiang Youxi rushed over and shouted, “Stop!”

Jiang Youxi quickly stepped in front of Jiang Shuli: “Who are you? What do you want to do in broad daylight?”

“Where the hell did this brat come from? Get out of my way!”

“Help! This person touched me! I don’t know him, he just touched my thigh!!”

Jiang Youxi suddenly burst into tears, lamenting that she was a student who knew nothing and had only come here to buy things when someone groped her thigh.

Fang Qi was shocked: “Damn it, who touched you? If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll beat you to death!”

“Aaaaaah! He hit me! Help! Look at this guy, he not only touched me, he hit me!!”

The commotion immediately attracted the attention of other onlookers.

As more and more people gathered, Fang Qi glared fiercely at Jiang Youxi, then quickly turned and ran away.

“Quick! He’s gotten away! Catch him!!”

Jiang Youxi pointed in the direction Fang Qi had fled and shouted, when suddenly her wrist was grabbed.

“Who touched you?”

Seeing that it was He Zhuo, Jiang Youxi smiled and said, “It’s nothing. I just ran into a thug. I just wanted to drive him away, so I said that on purpose.”

“real?”

“Really,” Jiang Shuli explained. “Xixi said that to protect me, so don’t worry.”

He Zhuo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Sensing that Jiang Shuli was in a bad mood, Jiang Youxi also lost her appetite and accompanied Jiang Shuli home.

Jiang Youxi couldn’t help but ask, “Cousin, who is that person? Is he your colleague?”

“No, he’s just a customer. Ignore him and let’s go.”

–

It’s been snowing heavily for the past few days. Outside it’s a world of ice and snow, but inside it’s warm and cozy.

Originally, Jiang Youxi planned to go out and have fun during the winter vacation, but with the recent continuous snowfall, she could only stay at home watching TV or practicing acupuncture on her own arm.

He Zhuo couldn’t bear to watch any longer, so he volunteered to be her target and practice acupuncture on her.

Looking at the arm with its clearly defined veins, Jiang Youxi’s eyes lit up. She touched it and exclaimed, “What a perfect hand! Senior He Zhuo, do you know? You were practically born to give injections!”

He Zhuo gently slapped her hand away: “If you’re going to stab someone, then stab them. What are you touching?”

Jiang Youxi was in a good mood and kept laughing foolishly: “What’s wrong with touching it? I’m just looking for a suitable vein, you wouldn’t understand.”

He Zhuo calmly looked at the fidgeting little hand: “What, are you trying to prick my finger?”

“What? No, why are you questioning my professionalism like that?”

“Then why are you playing with my fingers?”

Jiang Youxi was taken aback, only then realizing that she was playing with someone else’s fingers and having a great time.

Jiang Youxi abruptly withdrew her hand, applied a tourniquet, calmly located the vein in his forearm, gently patted it, disinfected the area, and inserted the needle—all in one smooth motion.

In just three days, He Zhuo had several needle marks on his arm.

Jiang Youxi was worried that she would really make him a target, so she immediately stopped.

In consideration of He Zhuo’s selfless dedication over the past few days, Jiang Youxi’s attitude towards him underwent a complete 360° change. Every time she saw him, she would smile and either serve him tea and water or get him food and dishes, practically treating this “experiment” like a precious treasure.

He Zhuo was very pleased and enjoyed her service without any qualms.

A week has passed in the blink of an eye.

During this week, Zhang Chao would come to see Jiang Youxi frequently.

When it snowed and they couldn’t go out, he would come to see her, and the two would either talk about their majors or play games together.

After the snow stopped, Zhang Chao excitedly ran over to ask her to go out and play.

“Xixi, are you free tonight? My aunt gave me some movie tickets, want to go see a movie together?”

Zhang Chao’s aunt works at a movie theater, and she often gets employee discounts on movie tickets. Whenever she finds a good movie, she buys some tickets to take her family to see it.

Jiang Shuli went to work, and Jiang Shaoyang also went to his repair shop to fix his car every day.

Jiang Xu is busy with his winter vacation homework every day, while his uncle and aunt are also busy with their own things.

Only she, like an unemployed bum, spent her days at home bored to the point of mold.

There was also He Zhuo.

They had originally agreed to leave once the snow stopped and the roads were clear, but the snow lasted for several days, so he had to stay at home and sleep with Jiang Shaoyang every night.

Although he doesn’t need to go to work, company matters still need to be handled online, keeping him extremely busy.

He works with his computer every day. Sometimes when Jiang Youxi is thirsty at night and comes out to the lobby to get a drink of water, she will see him working late into the night with his computer.

“Okay, when?”

“The show is at 8 PM tonight. I’ll come pick you up then.”

“good.”

Jiang Youxi was in a good mood and immediately went back to her room to take a shower.

He Zhuo looked at the closed door, took out his phone and made a call, giving the cinema address: “Tonight at 8 pm, private screening.”

The other party checked and said, “Mr. He, two tickets have already been sold for tonight’s 8 PM show.”

“Except for these two tickets, everything else is covered.”

“Understood, I’ll arrange it right away.”

–

Around 7 p.m., Zhang Chaochao came to call her.

Jiang Youxi and Zhang Chao went to the movie theater happily, only to find that there was no one else there.

“Zhang Chao, did you book the whole place?”

Zhang Chao scratched his head: “No, could it be that no one is buying tickets for this show?”

Jiang Youxi glanced at the movie title.

This movie is very popular recently. People online are saying that theaters are packed every time, so it’s impossible that there are only two of them.

“Probably not.”

Zhang Chao couldn’t hide his joy: “It’s okay, it’s fine if it’s just the two of us watching.”

Seeing his shy expression, Jiang Youxi suddenly remembered what her uncle had said.

That was just a childhood joke, and Jiang Youxi never took it seriously.

But seeing Zhang Chao’s shy and nervous appearance, Jiang Youxi finally realized something.

“Zhang Chao, do you like…?”

“Cough cough—”

A coughing sound suddenly came from behind.

The two were startled and turned to look.

The movie theater was dimly lit. The man stood near the entrance, his long coat making his figure appear even taller.

Due to the lighting, Jiang Youxi couldn’t see the face clearly, but she felt that the tall figure was somewhat familiar.

He climbed down the steps, one by one.

It wasn’t until they were right in front of each other that Jiang Youxi recognized He Zhuo.

He was wearing a black wool coat, with a gray scarf casually wrapped around his neck, his hands in his pockets, staring intently at her.

Expressionless.

Jiang Youxi was taken aback, feeling rather awkward as if she had been caught red-handed.

She sat up straight: “You… what are you doing here?”

“I’m here to keep an eye on you.”

“What? I was just watching a movie, I didn’t do anything illegal, why are you monitoring me?”

It’s as if she’s secretly doing something bad behind his back.

“Senior He Zhuo, what brings you here too?” Zhang Chao scratched his head, smiling a little embarrassedly. “I thought it would just be Xixi and me tonight.”

Are you disappointed?

“No, not really…”

“There’s nothing I can do, it’s just such a coincidence,” He Zhuo said with a smile, waving the ticket in his hand. “I also bought a ticket for this show.”

“…”

He Zhuo brushed past him and walked over, sitting down to Jiang Youxi’s left.

Jiang Youxi sensed something was off, so she leaned closer to him and whispered, “Why didn’t you tell me you were coming?”

He Zhuo glanced at her sideways: “What, do you have extra tickets?”

No, that’s not the case.

“Telling you won’t help.”

“I can give you the ticket!” Jiang Youxi smiled at him, “Consider it repayment for the acupuncture you gave me these past few days.”

He Zhuo frowned: “Why do you always try to match me up with him?”

who?

Zhang Chao?

No, how could you think that?

She genuinely gave him the ticket out of kindness, seeing how much he enjoyed the movie.

What on earth was he thinking?

“I can’t be with him, Jiang Youxi,” he said, looking directly into her round eyes, “and you are not allowed to either.”

“…”

What does this even mean?!

Just as Jiang Youxi was about to say something, the movie started.

She had no choice but to sit up straight and focus on watching the movie.

I watched half of the movie and still didn’t see anyone other than the three of them.

etc.

Could this movie have been booked out by someone?!

Jiang Youxi stole a glance at the man beside her.

His eyes were closed; he was fast asleep.

He’d been working non-stop late into the night, barely having time to breathe. Sometimes he didn’t even have time to eat, and she’d have to bring him food.

Even so, he would sometimes be so busy that he would forget to eat. When Jiang Youxi came back to collect the dishes, she would see that the food hadn’t been touched and would feed him.

At first, He Zhuo was very surprised, but after feeding her a few times, he got used to it and began to enjoy her “feeding” service.

Jiang Youxi gets angry every time she sees him acting like a big shot, waiting for her to feed him.

But when Jiang Youxi saw his bloodshot eyes from staying up all night, she couldn’t bear it anymore.

never mind.

Who told him to be the child’s father?

With his strong earning power, taking good care of him is equivalent to providing Jiang Xu with a guarantee for the future.

It’s all for the children.

Jiang Youxi stared at him quietly for a while, but unknowingly lost herself in the moment.

It has to be said that He Zhuo’s face is incredibly alluring. Sometimes she is even bewitched by his good looks and does things against her will.

Just as she was about to look away, she suddenly felt a weight on her shoulder.

She froze for a moment.

The man’s head rested on her slender shoulder, his even breath tickling her neck.

Jiang Youxi subconsciously shrank her neck, wanting to wake him up, but then she remembered that he had a sleep disorder and that he had indeed been sleep-deprived recently.

After thinking about it, I decided to give up.

never mind.

He finally managed to fall asleep, so let him continue sleeping.

Thinking of this, Jiang Youxi chose not to wake him and let him continue to sleep.

She slept for a while, then the head on her shoulder moved, and the man’s soft lips brushed against her sensitive neck.

Jiang Youxi felt very itchy and reached out to try to push his head away, but the man didn’t budge.

Jiang Youxi lowered her head, leaned closer to him, and whispered, “He Zhuo? Wake up!”

He was sleeping soundly and remained unresponsive.

Jiang Youxi tried to squeeze her fingers under his cheeks and tried to lift his head back onto the chair.

Just as he was about to put it back in its original position, his head suddenly jerked and bumped into her forehead, his thin lips precisely pressing against hers.

Jiang Youxi froze, her pupils slightly opening.

Why is it so soft?

Jiang Youxi tried pursing her lips.

Their lips touched, soft as a warm marshmallow.

etc!

What is she doing?!

Why is she kissing He Zhuo’s lips?!

Jiang Youxi quickly let go.

He Zhuo swayed, and his head bumped against her shoulder again.

Jiang Youxi was on the verge of tears, but tried calling out to him.

The commotion caught Zhang Chao’s attention.

“Xixi, what’s wrong?”

Zhang Chao turned his head and saw the two of them hugging.

The man buried his face in Jiang Youxi’s neck, gently nuzzling her, then slightly raised his head to meet her eyes.

Zhang Chao was stunned, staring blankly as the man kissed his way down Jiang Youxi’s neck, his peach blossom eyes fixed on him.

His eyes, as black as ink, were sharp and indifferent, full of provocation.
