A woman can’t say she’s not good enough

“Okay, I’ll listen to you, is that alright?” Zhou Yining asked softly.

Jiang Xizhi nodded in satisfaction, then buried her head in Zhou Yining’s arms, sniffing, and reluctantly got up from Zhou Yining’s embrace.

The two changed from their nightgowns into casual clothes and went downstairs together.

Downstairs, Liang Jing and Jiang Yueyi were there.

Seeing the two had woken up, Liang Jing smiled and said, “Come sit down and wait for dinner, Xiao Zhou, thank you for keeping Zhizhi company these few days.”

“Auntie, it’s no trouble at all.” Zhou Yining smiled politely at Liang Jing.

Dinner would take a while to be ready, and Jiang Xizhi didn’t avoid the others, acting boneless as she leaned softly against Zhou Yining’s shoulder, playing on her phone.

Zhou Yining patiently wrapped an arm around her waist to prevent her from falling, watching her tap away at the phone with a gentle smile.

Jiang Yueyi glanced at them and looked away, feeling that the two of them were too cheesy, giving her the feeling of a couple in the honeymoon phase.

Zhou Yining and Jiang Xizhi didn’t think anything of it. Zhou Yining even leaned closer, asking, “Is this fun?”

“It’s okay, it’s a relaxing and stress-relieving little game.” As she spoke, she nuzzled Zhou Yining’s shoulder affectionately.

Zhou Yining blinked and reached out to poke a bubble on the screen, but Jiang Xizhi dodged her hand.

“No, if you press there, the little person on my screen will die.”

“Why not?” Zhou Yining deliberately wrapped an arm around Jiang Xizhi’s waist and reached for the phone screen, teasing Jiang Xizhi until her eyes curved into crescents.

Liang Jing and Jiang Yueyi, who had just come downstairs after changing, exchanged a glance, then quickly looked away.

The more they looked at their daughter and her friend, the more they felt something was off.

Zhou Yining and Jiang Xizhi fooled around for a while, and then dinner was ready.

The two of them obediently sat down and began to eat.

Liang Jing looked at Jiang Xizhi and asked with a smile, “Did you have fun with Xiao Zhou all day today? You just started your vacation, don’t put too much pressure on yourselves, play for a few days first.”

Jiang Xizhi pouted.

“Not at all. As soon as Zhou Zhou came over this morning, she grabbed me and made me study.

I did two math papers this morning. I only got her to let me rest this afternoon after I begged her.”

Liang Jing looked at her daughter, smiling. “I think it’s good, someone’s keeping an eye on you, but the two of you shouldn’t study too hard, you need to balance work and rest.”

“Exactly, exactly.” Jiang Xizhi nodded in agreement.

Zhou Yining winked at her and said with a smile, “I’ll explain those two papers to you later, otherwise you’ll forget everything by tomorrow.”

“I know.” Jiang Xizhi wanted to cry, but she still listened obediently.

Liang Jing found her daughter adorable when she saw her like this.

After dinner, Zhou Yining dragged Jiang Xizhi upstairs. Jiang Xizhi leaned against Zhou Yining, whining, but was still taken to the study.

“Alright, you slept all afternoon, and you’ve had dinner, it’s time for us to go over the problems.”

“Okay.” Jiang Xizhi sat there miserably.

Zhou Yining reached out and tore off a few pieces of scratch paper, then took out the papers Jiang Xizhi had done in the morning and started grading them.

The difficulty of these two sets of papers was much lower than the final exam, and they were of normal difficulty.

After Zhou Yining finished grading them, she roughly calculated the score.

Jiang Xizhi’s math had clearly improved, and the scores for both sets of papers were around 110.

She smiled at Jiang Xizhi, praising her,

“Very good, both sets of papers are above 100, but there are still some knowledge points you haven’t mastered well.

I’ll go over the knowledge points with you through the wrong problems.”

As Zhou Yining spoke, she wrote on the scratch paper as she explained.

Jiang Xizhi sat next to her, listening obediently.

She knew that Zhou Yining was making her study for her own good, and that they would go to university in Beijing together in the future, so her grades had to be improved.

Thinking this way, Jiang Xizhi listened even more attentively.

Soon, the scratch paper on the table was covered with formulas, and Jiang Xizhi became more and more engrossed in listening.

Liang Jing knocked on the door and came in with two cups of milk, seeing that her daughter and Zhou Yining were still studying.

She smiled at the two of them. “Drink the milk in a bit. You two are studying too hard, go to bed early.”

“Okay, thank you, Auntie. We’ll sleep after we finish going over these papers.”

“Okay, then I won’t disturb you.” Liang Jing said, glancing at her daughter before leaving the study.

Zhou Yining took the milk and placed one cup in front of Jiang Xizhi. “Drink some milk first before continuing.”

Jiang Xizhi reached out and tugged on Zhou Yining’s wrist, drinking some milk with her other hand.

Zhou Yining lowered her eyes to look at her wrist. “What’s wrong? Are you tired?”

Jiang Xizhi shook her head. “I just wanted to touch you.”

Looking at the little fox who was acting spoiled, Zhou Yining’s eyes curved into a smile. “You can touch me however you want after we finish going over the papers, are you satisfied now?”

“Mm.” Jiang Xizhi nodded contentedly and picked up her milk.

Zhou Yining also quickly finished her milk and continued to be her emotionless problem-solving machine.

They went on until after one o’clock before Zhou Yining had a moment of conscience and let her off the hook.

In the end, Jiang Xizhi was exhausted.

Zhou Yining shook her head with a smile, looking at the wilted little fox. “What’s wrong? Why are you so listless? Let’s go take a bath and go to bed.”

“My battery is dead, I can’t walk.” Jiang Xizhi looked at Zhou Yining, acting spoiled.

Zhou Yining bent down and coaxed softly, “Be good, I’ll carry you upstairs, can I?”

Jiang Xizhi shook her head. “No, I don’t have the strength to walk back.”

Seeing that the young lady was completely worn out by her, Zhou Yining bent down and joked, “Then what should we do? Should I carry you back?”

Jiang Xizhi’s ears turned red at Zhou Yining’s words, and she buried her face in her arms.

But she thought about it, and although it was embarrassing, it sounded pretty good? After all, Zhou Yining had probably never carried other girls like this before.

She stayed there, her ears red, without saying anything.

Zhou Yining raised an eyebrow. What did the little fox mean by this? Was she really waiting for her to carry her?

She smiled and leaned closer, asking gently, “Do you really want me to carry you? I’ll really do it?”

Jiang Xizhi suppressed her embarrassment and looked up.

Her gaze flickered, and after a long while, she nodded at Zhou Yining.

Zhou Yining’s eyes curved into a smile. Fine, it was her fault for tormenting the young lady like this, so she would carry her.

Anyway, she was her little fox.

“Then put your arms around my neck, otherwise it’ll be hard for me to lift you.” Zhou Yining bent down, indicating for Jiang Xizhi to hook her arms around her neck.

Jiang Xizhi was still a little embarrassed, but she didn’t want to miss this opportunity.

She didn’t dare to look at Zhou Yining, suppressing her shyness as she wrapped her arms around her neck.

Zhou Yining bent over, putting one arm under Jiang Xizhi’s back and the other under her legs, lifting her up horizontally.

Fortunately, she was quite strong, or she might not have been able to lift her.

Zhou Yining carried Jiang Xizhi to the door and said softly, “Zhizhi, help me open the door, I can’t reach.”

Jiang Xizhi had originally buried her face in Zhou Yining’s arms.

Hearing Zhou Yining’s words, she half-opened her eyes and glanced at the doorknob.

After opening the door, she quickly buried her face back into Zhou Yining’s arms.

Zhou Yining found her adorable, and couldn’t suppress the smile on her face.

The study wasn’t far from Jiang Xizhi’s bedroom.

Zhou Yining carried her for a short distance and arrived, but Zhou Yining still didn’t reach out to open the door.

She said softly, “Zhizhi, help me open the door again.”

Jiang Xizhi’s face was burning red.

She nuzzled Zhou Yining and made a small sound before reaching out to grab the doorknob and opening the door.

Hearing the noise, Jiang Yueyi, who was thirsty, came out to pour water.

She was thinking of checking to see if her sister was asleep when she saw Zhou Yining carrying her sister out of the study, literally carrying her!

Startled, Jiang Yueyi went back to her room with her cup and closed the door behind her.

After standing there for a few seconds, she realized something was wrong.

Wait, her sister was being carried by Zhou Yining, why was she embarrassed?

Besides, this was her house, why was she acting like she was doing something wrong?

The more Jiang Yueyi thought about it, the more she felt something was off.

Her sister and Zhou Yining were usually close, but now they were carrying each other, could normal friends do that?

Jiang Yueyi thought about her friends.

The thought of being carried like that by her friends made her shudder, and goosebumps appeared all over her body.

Jiang Yueyi opened the door again.

The hallway was empty.

She went downstairs to pour a glass of water, feeling uneasy no matter how she thought about it.

Could her sister be a lesbian?

Jiang Yueyi wanted to go find Liang Jing, but when she looked at the time, it was almost eleven o’clock, and her mom should already be asleep.

Helpless, Jiang Yueyi went back to her room with a stomach full of thoughts.

Her mind was filled with the scene of her sister being carried by Zhou Yining, as if a barrage of comments were floating in front of her eyes.

[They’re lesbians! They’re lesbians!]

[They’re definitely dating!]

Zhou Yining had no idea that her carrying Jiang Xizhi had been seen by Jiang Xizhi’s sister.

She carried Jiang Xizhi all the way to the bedside and gently placed her on the edge of the bed.

“Are you satisfied now?” She reached out and gently patted Jiang Xizhi’s back, indicating for her to let go, as Jiang Xizhi’s arms were still around her neck.

Jiang Xizhi only held on tighter, burying her face in Zhou Yining’s arms.

She nuzzled Zhou Yining, whining softly, “Were there other people in the hallway when we came out?”

Zhou Yining smiled and said softly, “No, what’s wrong? Are you embarrassed? You were the one who asked me to carry you.”

“Then, I asked you to carry me, so you really carried me?” The little fox was acting cute even after taking advantage of the situation.

“Yeah, I listen to you the most, you know that.” Zhou Yining said with a smile.

“Liar, who was it that made me do papers all night?” Jiang Xizhi huffed twice, staring straight at Zhou Yining with her fox-like eyes.

Zhou Yining quickly coaxed her. “Okay, it was my fault. I insisted on carrying you over here, is that okay?”

“Mm!” Jiang Xizhi’s tone rose, showing her good mood at the moment.

“Alright, let’s go take a bath first, can you let go now? My back is killing me.”

In this position, Zhou Yining had to keep bending over, since Jiang Xizhi’s arms were still around her neck.

Jiang Xizhi glanced at her, her ears red, and muttered softly, “A woman can’t say she can’t do it.”
