My Online Girlfriend Has a Twin Sister - Chapter 90 - 65: I Look Forward to a Future with You

Chapter 90: Chapter 65: I Look Forward to a Future with You

’This makes no sense!’

Chen Yuan stared at his reflection in the mirror, his hair damp. His face was handsome and refined, but his eyes were filled with utter disbelief.

The last time he’d gotten close to Jiangg Ning, hugging and holding her, he hadn’t been so weak. Back then, he felt his self-control was strong enough. He’d withstood several Charm Attacks; his defenses were quite high.

Logically, shouldn’t his defenses have stacked up, getting stronger each time, until he was eventually immune to low-level Charm Attacks?

So why was his reaction so strong today? He had splashed his face with cold water several times, but his mind was still filled with the image from moments ago. His body grew hot, and he felt an itch all over.

The heat was unbearable.

He had only taken a few extra glances, and his defenses had gone into the negative. ’Could it be…’ Chen Yuan suddenly realized something very important.

This was the key to why the Charm Attack had worked so well on him today.

It was the inequality of their roles.

’Yes!’

’That’s it.’

If Jiangg Ning had been acting as his girlfriend when she was being intimate with him, it would have felt completely normal, and his reaction wouldn’t have been so intense. But today was different. From the moment they left the school and drove all the way to this restaurant…

…up until now, Jiangg Ning had never stepped out of her role as “teacher.”

Just imagine: a beautiful teacher who was always poised and graceful in the classroom, radiating an almost inviolable aura, suddenly dropping that serious demeanor in private to reveal her beauty without reservation.

The thrill that came with that sense of guilt was completely different from what you’d feel with a girlfriend.

Chen Yuan figured it out, and his eyes gradually brightened. ’Why should I feel so guilty about my own girlfriend? I have every right to look.’

’No matter how many times I look, it’s just a normal part of the intimacy between a boyfriend and girlfriend.’

At this thought, the turmoil in his heart began to calm, and the strange sensations in his body faded away.

Chen Yuan gave himself a pep talk. He couldn’t fall for Jiangg’s tricks again. He felt like he had finally uncovered Jiangg Ning’s true nature. Being with a mature woman was completely different from being with a girl his own age.

Jiangg Ning could act cute, put on a cutesy voice, be lively and energetic one moment, and mischievous the next. Sometimes she would transform into an aloof beauty. She would deliberately do things that were borderline teasing, a clear, cunning glint in her eyes. Then, just as he was about to break and tried to avoid her, she would stop at the perfect moment.

Chen Yuan suddenly had a feeling… ’Am I being completely played?’

’The woman’s a devil!’

He took a deep breath and stepped out of the restroom, his stride now firm and determined.

Even though he’d never been in a relationship, Chen Yuan knew that taking the initiative was crucial. If you let the other person read your mind and take control, you’d be constrained by your girlfriend at every turn.

As one of the top students at Landa University, a brilliant scholar whose picture hung on his high school’s wall of honor, the former head of the arts department, and a key player on the school’s basketball team…

Chen Yuan did not like the feeling of being played.

’So what if she’s my teacher? What’s the big deal if I’m a little bold?’

…

“You’re back?” Seeing Chen Yuan push aside the curtain and enter, Jiangg Ning gave him a gentle smile. Her eyes were bright and clear, and as she turned her head, a small string of pearl earrings dangled from her earlobes. Her long, slender legs were pressed together, her voice soft.

She had put her sweater back on, which covered not only everything else but even her fair neck.

That gentle voice in his ears instantly made Chen Yuan feel his defenses weaken.

He sat down, composed himself, and repeated the thoughts from the restroom to himself one more time.

’I have to take the initiative.’

So, Chen Yuan dropped all restraint. He gazed at Jiangg Ning audaciously, and when their eyes met, he didn’t look away.

“A friend of yours called. You were gone for a while, so I answered it.”

“Who was it?”

“Someone named Liu Nan. Take a look.”

Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow and picked up his phone. Sure enough, there were seven or eight new messages and a call record in his contacts.

“He didn’t realize it was you, did he?”

“No, I put on a… erm, I deliberately lowered my voice. He couldn’t tell. Did he need you for something?”

Chen Yuan scrolled through his screen and chuckled. He looked up and waved his hand. “It’s nothing. He probably tried to hit on a girl and got chewed out, so he wanted me to go help him.”

“You’d help him? Student Chen Yuan,” Jiangg Ning said, blinking. She asked in a very concerned tone, “Are you good at hitting on girls?”

“Not at all,” Chen Yuan said, propping his chin on his hand. He decided to just be shameless and gave her a slight smile. “I’m usually the one who gets hit on.”

He had a pair of clear, dark eyes. Dressed in a simple navy down jacket, he looked a little boyish as he said this, his refined gaze fixed directly on her.

Jiangg Ning froze. It took her a moment to recover. For that single instant, she felt her heart skip a beat.

Chen Yuan keenly caught her expression and instantly felt that his method was working.

Being passive and on the defensive meant just waiting for the inevitable. He was starting to understand the thrill Jiangg Yao got from deliberately teasing people.

’Charm… anyone can do that, right?’

Chen Yuan had successfully turned the tables!

…

The fluttering heart of a secret crush was a bit like the recent storm that had drenched Lanjing, leaving the whole city damp. But once the sun broke through, the cold rain vanished, replaced by a dustless, clear sky.

As Jiangg Ning walked down the street with her long strides, she felt more relaxed than she ever had before.

Under the star-dusted night sky, her steps were even a little jaunty. Her usual aloofness was now tinged with the joy of a young girl.

After finishing dinner with Chen Yuan, she hadn’t driven back immediately. Instead, they chose to take a walk together along the riverbank.

The two of them walked along the old guardrail. To their left, the river’s surface shimmered. Lampposts were spaced every ten-odd meters along the road. In winter, there were no mosquitoes, only moths with fluttering wings circling under the lights.
