Chapter 242: 177 Jiangjiang Fights, Fifth Master Supports Him (2 updates)

The next morning,

The sky was bleak, the color of brooding clouds, but Jiangjiang got up very early and seemed extremely excited. Jiang Yanting had called, saying he would go directly to the game site because he had invited Tang Wan earlier to take him to the soccer field with Jiang Jinsang.

The game started at nine, and all the kids arrived at seven-thirty for warm-ups.

Tang Wan had stayed up late the night before working on design drafts, so to make it to the game on time, she had to leave at six-thirty. Today was a big day for Jiangjiang’s game, so she had to dress up and ended up getting up a bit after five to get ready.

By now, seated in the parents’ section, she was already breathing out visible puffs of air.

"Stayed up late last night?" Jiang Jinsang tilted his head to look at her.

"A bit." Tang Wan tried hard to keep her eyes open. The heating in the soccer stadium was very strong, after all, the kids were all dressed in jerseys, and this temperature was just too conducive to falling asleep, "When will Second Master arrive?"

"He’ll definitely be here before the game starts. Jiangjiang seems to have noticed something; last night the little guy actually asked me if his big brother was going to find him a stepmother."

"What did you say?"

"It’s better for his big brother to say it himself."

"That makes sense, we can’t really say much." While she spoke, she yawned again.

Jiang Jinsang turned to look at her and couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Just how sleepy was she?

"I really can’t take it anymore. I’m going to go outside for some fresh air to wake up. I’ll be back soon." Tang Wan took her coat and walked outside.

Jiang Jinsang glanced at Jiangjiang. A group of kids was doing warm-up exercises under the coach’s leadership. It seemed nothing would go wrong, so he stood up and followed her out.

Tang Wan felt that if she continued to stay indoors, she might fall asleep before the game even started. That would be too disrespectful, and she guessed Jiangjiang would be furious if he saw her sleeping.

Stepping outside, the cold wind hit her, causing a mixture of warmth and cold. She couldn’t help but shiver, and her drowsiness completely disappeared.

But in the next second, a scarf was already being wrapped around her neck.

"You really aren’t afraid of the cold." Jiang Jinsang’s voice came from above her head. She turned around instinctively, and their clothes rustled as they touched.

Tang Wan hadn’t expected him to be so close. Her lips brushed against his chin, which caused her face to turn a slight shade of red.

"Why did you come out?"

Jiang Jinsang looked down at her and with his hands, he carefully wrapped the scarf around her neck, "Just needed some fresh air."

He had never done this for anyone before and wasn’t sure about the tightness. After wrapping the scarf, he seriously adjusted it, his fingers unintentionally brushing her neck and ear...

Aside from family members, no one had ever done this for Tang Wan. It was a peculiar sensation.

The cold wind howled past, but Tang Wan felt as if a flame had licked the tips of her ears. Her entire body seemed to burn with heat, as these areas were especially sensitive.

"I’ll do it myself." He clearly didn’t know how to tie a scarf because he was about to...

Tie a bow on her neck as if fastening shoelaces.

Jiang Jinsang stared at her intently; they were so close. As Tang Wan tied the scarf, she inevitably brushed against his clothes, and the atmosphere turned ambiguous again. But when the cool breeze blew, she couldn’t help but huddle her neck.

"Still cold?"

"Still..."

Tang Wan had just opened her mouth when Jiang Jinsang reached out, grabbed her arm, and pulled her into his embrace. His clothes were large, and since they were half-open, she was almost wrapped inside when she fell against him.

"Is this better?" His voice was right by her ear, the little warmth left from the cold wind was enough to scorch.

Tang Wan suddenly stumbled forward, her body off-balance, and it didn’t feel right to just lean against him. Hesitating, she reached out and gently grabbed the corner of his sweater.

"Wanwan?"

"Hmm?" Tang Wan looked up at him.

"How about the two of us go out to eat later, and then watch a movie in the afternoon?"

Jiang Jinsang had been thinking about finding an opportunity to ask her out. But it hadn’t been possible until now, since Tang’s father was hospitalized for surgery. Today was the perfect day to go out, and later on, Jiang Yanting would definitely take Jiangjiang.

As for the date, he didn’t know what to do. According to online advice, having a meal and watching a movie seemed like the standard, so they might as well take it slow.

A date?

Upon hearing this, Tang Wan felt a warmth in her heart. She might not have even noticed the flush of shyness spreading across her face.

However, Jiang Jinsang had already slipped one arm around her waist, drawing her into his embrace and cupping her face, carefully examining her before bending down to lightly peck her.

"Let’s go inside." They were outdoors, and Tang Wan feared being seen. After all, she did care about appearances.
