Obsessive Tycoon and His Swan Girl
Chapter 108 - 108 108 In a Way That Suits Her

Chapter 108: Chapter 108: In a Way That Suits Her Chapter 108: Chapter 108: In a Way That Suits Her Qin Hai had been by Qin Jingchen’s side for many years, naturally aware that Qin Jingchen wasn’t as gentle and easy-going as his amiable appearance suggested.

To hold power in the vast Qin Family, being as warm as the spring breeze was impossible.

However, after Jiang Zhe appeared, Qin Jingchen’s emotions seemed to become restrained.

Qin Hai had almost not heard what Qin Jingchen and Jiang Zhe had said to each other, but he knew that from Jiang Zhe’s appearance to getting into the car, the time was not long.

The mere two or three minutes that it took for Qin Jingchen to rein in all his emotions surprised Qin Hai.

But on second thought, this was Jiang Zhe, so perhaps it wasn’t that strange.

The car drove into Lushan Courtyard, and the night had deepened.

The thick night enveloped the entire courtyard, quiet and elegant.

Jiang Zhe and Qin Jingchen got out of the car and walked side by side toward the inside.

At the door, she stopped and waited for Qin Jingchen to open it.

He tilted his chin slightly, indicating for her to open it herself.

The courtyard never kept permanent servants, only having people come regularly to clean.

The main gate had a fingerprint lock.

Jiang Zhe placed her hand on the doorknob, and the door automatically opened.

It was her fingerprint that had unlocked it.

She turned her head and glanced at Qin Jingchen, “When did you record my fingerprint?”

“After you came last time. It’s more convenient for you to come in the future,” Qin Jingchen said naturally, as if she had always been a part of this place.

Jiang Zhe didn’t say anything, and after entering, she changed into slippers.

Despite her casual demeanor, she noticed the considerable changes in the living room.

The single-seat sofa had been replaced with a double-seat, and the odd-numbered seating was changed to even-numbered.

The rest that could be replaced had almost all been replaced.

Vases, paintings, decorations.

Even the coffee table was new.

It wasn’t necessary.

But with such changes, Jiang Zhe did indeed feel oddly more comfortable and chose a spot to sit down.

As soon as she sat down, she reached out and took out a piece of chewing gum.

“Would you like some fruit?” Qin Jingchen asked.

Jiang Zhe put the chewing gum back, “An apple would be nice.”

After entering, Qin Jingchen took off his overcoat and changed into a house outfit.

With sleeves rolled up, he went to the kitchen island to grab an apple, his fingers long and distinct, making the apple in his hand seem like an artwork.

Moments later, he brought the apple over to her.

Cut into small pieces, just the right amount and all even-numbered.

She placed them in front of Jiang Zhe, who flicked her lips upwards and took the fruit fork.

After some thought, she realized the bottle of chewing gum in her bag had been bought a long time ago. Previously used up quickly, now it seemed she could hardly finish it in a month.

Her mouth was often occupied with fruits, leaving little room for chewing gum.

While she was eating, Qin Jingchen sat beside her, his gaze resting on her.

She wasn’t a big talker, always quiet and composed, with her long legs casually placed to the side, as if all the liveliness had nothing to do with her.

But just by sitting there nonchalantly, she seemed to fill the void in Lushan Courtyard.

The once empty environment also felt full because of her presence.

Qin Jingchen sat down next to her.

As Jiang Zhe ate, she took out her phone from her bag.

In the WeChat group, Xiao Meng had already started doing problems.

Led by her, Xia Enci, Song Xingyu, and others were also working through test papers.

Even on the rare days off, the teachers had left plenty of test papers, and there was a lot of homework.

For senior-year students, holidays seemed to make no difference from school days; it was just switching places to work on problems and write assignments.

Due to the concert taking up a lot of time today, Xiao Meng planned to make up for it.

Jiang Zhe also took out the test papers without hesitation.

“Doing problem sets at this hour?” Qin Jingchen asked.

“Didn’t I say I’d solve problems for you to see last time?” Jiang Zhe said, “So, do you still want to watch?”

Qin Jingchen’s lips curled slightly at the corners, anything she did was wonderful as long as she was here.

“I do.”

Jiang Zhe put down her fruit fork and began to work on the problems casually.

She was doing math, and the difficulty level of senior year math was, as one can imagine, quite challenging.

But she didn’t use scratch paper, and there wasn’t even any process of calculation.

She simply scanned each problem and then selected an answer.

Very quickly, she had completed all twelve multiple-choice questions.

When she saw that the fill-in-the-blank section had five questions, an odd number, Jiang Zhe skipped them and continued with the questions below.

Qin Jingchen laughed silently, watching her effortlessly write down answers for the major questions.

The multiple-choice questions she had done seemed randomly selected, yet they were all correct.

Her proficiency was as if she were copying, no, it couldn’t even keep up with her pace.

A few minutes later, she put down her pen: “Done.”

Qin Jingchen pointed to the empty spaces she had left.

“I didn’t want to do those,” Jiang Zhe said with a somewhat languid expression. “I’m going to take a shower. You write them.”

“Go ahead.” Qin Jingchen took the pen she had set down and filled in the remaining questions.

The room Jiang Zhe had stayed in last time was tidied by him, where he found several Rubik’s cubes that had been messed up were all restored by Jiang Zhe.

She had OCD, including an obsession with odd numbers.

No wonder she found those questions distasteful.

Qin Jingchen chuckled and shook his head.

Jiang Zhe entered the room she had stayed in last time and found that the bath towels and bathrobes were hung in pairs in the wardrobe.

The Rubik’s cubes she had touched last time were also well placed in their restored state.

For someone with OCD, it was extremely comforting.

Everything in the bathroom was also arranged in pairs.

After taking a shower, Jiang Zhe planned to go to sleep.

Suddenly remembering that Qin Jingchen was still downstairs, she picked up her phone, “I’m off to bed, good night.”

When Qin Jingchen saw the message, he glanced upstairs before typing two words: “Good night.”

The next day, Jiang Zhe woke up very early.

After getting up, she went downstairs with her backpack, only to find that Qin Jingchen had woken up even earlier than she had.

He was dressed in beige home wear, his hair untamed, which made him look even more natural.

Perhaps due to the early morning, his striking features were bathed in a faint, dazzling light.

“What would you like for breakfast?” Qin Jingchen asked as he walked to the kitchen counter.

Jiang Zhe was thinking of just grabbing something outside, but her gaze inadvertently fell upon several cookbooks laid out on the countertop, which hadn’t been there during her last visit.

After a brief thought, she said, “Sweet fermented rice balls.”

“Have a seat. It’ll be ready in a moment,” Qin Jingchen said as he began to prepare, naturally filling a pot with water to boil.

He took out the prepared sweet rice wine and rice balls, asking, “How about an egg?”

“One,” Jiang Zhe nodded.

When the sweet fermented rice balls were steaming hot out of the pot, the entire house was filled with the thick sweet aroma of the rice wine.

It was around the same time that sunlight started streaming into the house from outside.

The Lushan Courtyard caught the sunlight earlier and more easily than the rest of Jincheng.

Qin Jingchen placed the sweet fermented rice balls where the sunlight was just right and called Jiang Zhe over.

Jiang Zhe sat down, took a spoon, and although her expression remained cool, she had shed the languor of the previous day, unfurling like leaves nourished by sunlight.
