They all want to control me!

Chapter 19 Secret Affair

Seabirds and fish fall in love~

It was just an accident.

Our love~

"..."

Jiang Qiaoqiao frowned after listening to "Coral Sea".

It's not that this song is bad, but rather that it's so good. Both the melody and the extremely difficult rhymes make it a top-tier song.

But something feels off. It seems like a song meant for a male and female duet, yet Lin Ran is singing it all by herself.

She touched her ankles. After this experience of controlling her body, she could feel more parts of her body, but not as many as before.

It seems it really is related to feelings. In other words, I didn't help Lin Ran and Tao Zhiyao advance their relationship this time, so the recovery was less.

Looks like I'll have to put in more effort next time.

dong dong~

"Qiaoqiao, are you done soaking? Do you want to come out?"

"Aunt Zhao, I'll soak for a little longer. Can you prepare dinner for me first?"

"Okay, don't get dizzy from soaking."

The footsteps outside the door grew fainter and fainter.

Jiang Qiaoqiao breathed a sigh of relief and turned up the volume on her phone.

Recently, Aunt Zhao has been asking her if she has been chatting with Lin Ran. If she says no, Aunt Zhao will say that friends should communicate more. If she says they have, Aunt Zhao will smile and say that looking at your phone too much is bad for your eyes and that you should be more moderate.

Are you going to let me chat or not?! (Slams phone)

In short, Aunt Zhao, the nanny, is a very troublesome person, especially since she's recently become obsessed with Korean soap operas, making things even more complicated.

Living in a large villa in the suburbs, with a lovestruck nanny taking care of me, life is truly not easy.

Jiang Qiaoqiao placed the little yellow duck swimming in the water on her head, leaned back, and took out her phone:

"Aunt Zhao is gone, you can talk now. You reacted quickly, shutting up in a flash."

"Because your nanny is too troublesome."

"...That's true."

"I've noticed something: when we're chatting secretly behind the adults' backs, it feels like we're having an affair!"

"Steal your head, my foot!" Jiang Qiaoqiao splashed the bathwater twice, the steam making her face flush red. "Even though I'm lame, I'm not bad looking, and I have a great figure. My suitors line up from the suburban villas to the city center. How could I possibly have an affair with you!"

"Hey, I'm getting anxious!"

"I……"

A profound sense of powerlessness welled up within me.

It's like you're calmly and methodically explaining things to someone, only to have them reply with "Get impatient," which completely kills any desire to continue the conversation.

"I'm the only one with a high tolerance for you. You must never speak like that in front of Tao Zhiyao, or it will ruin things."

Jiang Qiaoqiao rubbed her temples, her lower body submerged in the hot pool water, while her upper body, with her chest above the surface, radiated heat from her scalding skin.

The cool air stimulated my brain and calmed it down a bit.

"Getting down to business, the love song 'Coral Sea' is good, and I think it has market potential, but it's troublesome that you can't write the sheet music."

"You have the same memory as me, so it's not difficult for you to learn in a short time."

The question is, do you have that time?

"I remember you said that medical students are very tired, and that the prerequisite for studying and working is to ensure good health. You can arrange your study time according to your physical condition. Anyway, I have plenty of time, so you can study whenever you want."

Jiang Qiaoqiao turned around, her upper body pressed against the marble tiles, her breasts forming a beautiful shape, her face remaining hot.

It seems that soaking in the large public bath for too long has made my body temperature abnormal.

She pinched her burning hot cheek.

the other side.

Lin Ran sat at his desk, and after listening to Jiang Qiaoqiao's words, a strange feeling welled up in his heart.

"Time isn't a problem, I can squeeze it in. But... are you worried about me?" Lin Ran's strengths lie in her willingness to speak her mind and ask questions when she doesn't understand.

"Yes~" the aloof little white cat said, "Now our fates are intertwined. If you ruin your health and end up in the hospital, I will also be forced to lie in a hospital bed—I never want to go to that awful place again in my life."

"You scared me! I thought you had feelings for me. I have trouble making choices, so I would definitely choose Tao Zhiyao without hesitation," Lin Ran said with a smile.

"So narcissistic. I like no one but you, this abstract thing." The sound of running water came from the other end of the phone. "I'm hanging up now. I'm drying myself off, getting dressed, and going back to my bedroom. We'll discuss the song then."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Ran rushed into the bathroom to take a cold shower. Just as she returned, Jiang Qiaoqiao called.

It was still a video call, but instead of the aloof, sitting white cat, it was a pair of slender, fair hands.

"It's inconvenient to teach you over voice." Jiang Qiaoqiao raised her index and middle fingers and made a peace sign at the camera.

"Disappointing. I thought I would finally see your face, but all I got was your hand." Lin Ran sighed.

"Can't you see my naked body?"

"When you look at the human body illustrations in a biology textbook, do you get any feelings?"

"...Lin Ran, you don't need to use such a vivid and imaginative metaphor. But..."

On the screen, a scissor-hand gesture was made, and a girl's cheerful voice came through:

"I won't let you see my face, hehehe~"

"Reduplicated words, disgusting."

"As a special mention, the beautiful and intelligent Lady Jiang Qiaoqiao is incredibly gorgeous, much prettier than the school beauty pageant your campus wall votes for!"

"No matter how beautiful you are, it's useless if I don't let you see." Lin Ran's voice was cold. "Alright, let's begin the lesson."

"Huh? Why did you suddenly become so calm?"

"I applied glue while showering, and I'm in a post-coital state now."

"???"

Jiang Qiaoqiao covered her mouth with her hand, trying her best to suppress her laughter.

She wasn't sure if Lin Ran was telling the truth or not, but she was definitely genuinely happy right now.

While shaking his head, he opened the window in front of his desk, and the cool night breeze blew in, instantly relieving much of the heat on his body.

"Oh dear, my charm is just too much; it's making someone angry!"

"Qiaozi, don't be so smug. I just heard the window open. You didn't blush because you were shy, did you?"

"Get lost, I won't."

Jiang Qiaoqiao's face was indeed a little hot, but she thought it was because she had been soaking in the bath for too long and had nothing to do with Lin Ran!

The chat and banter ended.

Jiang Qiaoqiao officially began teaching.

She brought out a pencil and white paper and wrote the score for "Coral Sea" for Lin Ran on the spot, explaining it as she wrote.

Aunt Zhao came in a few times to bring fruit, and Jiang Qiaoqiao pretended to be watching online classes to fool her.

It's 10:45 PM.

Generally speaking, this is the time when college students just begin to let loose. Couples huddle in their respective dorm beds, ready to chat until one or two in the morning, while singles play games, block bridges, or even call each other "Mom."

Learning is different; it requires mental effort and can easily lead to fatigue.

Lin Ran was sleepy: "I'm going to the bathroom. Let's go to sleep at 11 o'clock."

"Ha—, okay... I have a few key points to test you on when you get back, and I'm... sleepy too..."

Jiang Qiaoqiao's eyelids were drooping, she yawned, and rested on the table.

I was in a daze, and I felt someone patting my shoulder.

A gentle voice drifted into her ear: "Qiaoqiao, you must be exhausted from talking to your boyfriend on the phone, right?"

"Hmm... What a big idiot, not as smart as me... It's like calculus... What middle school student doesn't know calculus...?"

Jiang Qiaoqiao muttered to herself, half asleep and half awake.

Suddenly realizing something was wrong, she sat up abruptly and turned to look at her side.

Aunt Zhao bent over, smiling as she looked at her, her gaze shifting to the sheet music on the table and the phone on the stand.

"I knocked on the door several times, but Qiaoqiao didn't answer, so I came in."

"..." Jiang Qiaoqiao's lips trembled.

As luck would have it, Lin Ran returned from the restroom at that moment.

"I almost fell asleep and collapsed just now. We can't talk on the phone until so late like yesterday. Let's get some rest early tonight."

"So Qiaoqiao also stayed up all night chatting with that little boy on the phone yesterday," Aunt Zhao said with a smile.

Lin Ran: "?"

Jiang Qiaoqiao: "..."

Lin Ran chuckled awkwardly twice: "Haha, I won't interfere in your family matters, Qiaozi. Sweet dreams, bye~"

"You're not allowed to hang up, you selfish bastard! You can't leave me here alone, you have to explain things to me, hey!"

Jiang Qiaoqiao said it was too late and the call ended.

After a two-second silence, she turned her upper body around, raised her hands, and said sullenly:

"Aunt Zhao, I can explain. We're just friends!"
