"Jiang Che... you... hello there."
Xiao Sisi's voice sounded extremely nervous.
"Oh? What's up? You're not here to rush me about the song, are you? Didn't we agree it'd be ready in a week and a half?"
Jiang Che's tone was slightly teasing.
"Um... I just wanted to check on the progress. How... how's it going?"
"Progress is pretty slow—absolutely no inspiration!" Jiang Che's voice was utterly lazy.
Xiao Sisi instantly tensed up on the other end. "No inspiration? Then... then what should we do?"
"I need to find inspiration, you see. But I live alone... so there's no one to spark any ideas for me." Jiang Che slowly bared his fangs at Xiao Sisi.
"No one to inspire you... then what?"
Jiang Che chuckled lightly. "How about we go on a date early? Maybe that’ll help me find some inspiration?"
Xiao Sisi froze for a moment upon hearing this, her cheeks gradually flushing pink.
"A... a date?"
Wasn’t this moving a bit too fast?
"Ah... truth is, I’m someone who craves love. Only when I feel affection can my creativity truly explode."
"So... Miss Sisi, would you go on a date with me?"
Jiang Che had a thick skin—with so many women around him, he was hardly lacking in love, whether emotionally or physically. It was all just an excuse to manipulate Xiao Sisi.
"This... isn’t this a little too soon?"
"Not at all. It’s actually my first time going on a date with a girl. Who knows? Maybe it’ll spark something, and I’ll write a song that shocks the entire music industry. After all, Miss Sisi, you know how massive my last song, Father, was."
Jiang Che’s voice was dripping with persuasion!
"Well... alright then. But you have to finish the song quickly."
The innocent Xiao Sisi was no match for the big bad wolf that was Jiang Che!
Jiang Che snapped his fingers—prey caught!
"No problem!"
"Then... when’s the date?" Xiao Sisi hesitated.
"Today!"
......
Jiang Che was in a rather good mood.
Once he had Xiao Sisi on the date, given his skills... she wouldn’t be able to escape his grasp afterward.
At least two bases conquered!
That was the confidence of a playboy.
"Hey hey hey, Jiang Che, who were you just talking to? I heard the word 'date'—who are you going out with?"
Yu Wan'er stood on tiptoe, leaning over the second-floor railing to peer down, her eyes full of scrutiny.
Then, the petite girl bounced down the stairs, barefoot, and plopped onto the sofa.
"That voice on the phone was definitely someone I don’t know. Who exactly are you planning to date?"
She sat cross-legged on the sofa, her palm-sized face filled with accusation.
Lately, the little girl seemed to realize just how spoiled she was, so she acted more and more like a brat, shedding her previous insecurity and reverting to her original tsundere self.
"Guess who I’m going on a date with?" Jiang Che smirked mischievously.
"I! DON’T! KNOW!" Yu Wan'er was jealous again. Even though she knew Jiang Che would always have other women around him, she couldn’t help but feel possessive. Every time she thought about him flirting with another girl, her little heart felt like it was drowning in vinegar.
Seeing Yu Wan'er’s jealous pout, Jiang Che suddenly felt playful.
He scooped her up into his arms. The girl didn’t resist, but her face was full of reluctance and disdain.
"How about this? You come along on the date with me. Be my wingwoman, okay?"
Jiang Che’s words left Yu Wan'er completely stunned, her big eyes widening in disbelief.
"You jerk! You want me to be your wingwoman? You absolute scumbag, you pervert, get lost!" Yu Wan'er struggled fiercely, then bit down hard on Jiang Che’s shoulder.
"Ow! That hurt! Are you a dog or something? You drew blood!" Jiang Che winced.
Yu Wan'er’s face instantly paled. "Where? I didn’t... I didn’t bite that hard, did I? How could there be blood? You’re tough-skinned... you can take it."
Her small hands fumbled over Jiang Che’s shoulder, only to realize... there was no blood, just two very clear bite marks.
"You liar—"
......
Half an hour later.
Yu Wan'er had changed into an adorable blue-and-white Lolita-style princess dress, paired with white stockings that made her look pristine. Her twin ponytails curled slightly, tied with red ribbons, and her short little legs were downright adorable.
Soft and tender enough to slay any lolicon—especially with the mix of annoyance and resentment on her face... it was a total bonus!
In the end, she had surrendered to Jiang Che’s intimidation.
"Remember, your role today is my cousin, got it?"
"Weren’t you curious who I’m going on a date with? Fine, I’ll tell you—it’s your favorite idol, Xiao Wanwan!"
Yu Wan'er’s eyes sparkled faintly. Though she didn’t want another girl in Jiang Che’s life, if it was her idol, Xiao Wanwan... it didn’t sound so bad!
But it was all Jiang Che’s fault!
Yes, blame Jiang Che, that rotten scoundrel, that big-hearted playboy, that absolute pervert!
"Sweetheart, don’t you want to see another side of your idol?"
Jiang Che bent down to tie Yu Wan'er’s shoelaces. At this moment, she looked like a carefully wrapped little present, waiting to be unwrapped!
And who would do the unwrapping? Of course, Jiang Che himself!
"Tch, such a perverted thought," Yu Wan'er muttered, pursing her lips.
...
After placating Yu Wan'er, Jiang Che sent another message to Xiao Sisi.
"Miss Sisi, my little cousin is a huge fan of your sister, Xiao Wanwan. When we meet up later, I might have to bring her along. Could you... could you pretend to be your sister for her?"
That’s right!
Jiang Che was going all out—and his game was wild.
On the other end, Xiao Sisi was stunned. "Me... play Wanwan?"
"Is that a problem? My cousin really loves Xiao Wanwan. She’s her biggest fan!"
Xiao Sisi hesitated. Who brings their cousin on a first date?
But she was terrible at saying no—especially since Jiang Che was the first man who had ever kissed her.
"Alright then... but I really can’t sing. Don’t make me sing, okay?"
Jiang Che couldn’t suppress his grin. Oh, you’ll definitely sing!
"Then it’s settled! I’ve already sent you the address."
Jiang Che leisurely hung up, wrapping an arm around Yu Wan'er’s slender waist.
He hummed softly, "She’s just my cousin, my cousin says purple’s got that vibe~"
Yu Wan'er looked up and rolled her eyes.
"You’re such a freak!"
