Thinking about it, a bold idea suddenly popped into Feng Chunling's mind. If my daughter continues to drop the ball, then I'll have to step in myself. With a bit of effort, maybe I could even get pregnant with Liu Ergou's child. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that plan. The more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

Just then, however, the sound of footsteps reached her. Feng Chunling perked up her ears, listening carefully, and realized they were coming from Liu Ergou's house.

She turned to Yang Mei, who was still standing on their doorstep, and whispered urgently, "Xiao Mei, don't be scared. When you see Er Gou, just tell him you're here to thank him! Thank him for arranging a job for you!"

After speaking, Feng Chunling shut the gate, leaving Yang Mei standing outside alone. Staring at the closed gate, a wave of panic washed over Yang Mei, followed closely by a crippling shyness.

How am I supposed to talk to Liu Ergou? Mom makes it sound so simple, but for me, it's as hard as scaling the heavens.

While Yang Mei was grappling with her shyness and indecision, the gate to Liu Ergou's house opened, and he appeared in the doorway. The first thing Liu Ergou saw was the sultry and seductive Yang Mei. His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when he saw what she was wearing.

My goodness, what is going on today? Why is Yang Mei dressed so seductively? This white shirt is so sheer you can see right through it. And those denim shorts… they barely cover her butt, and they make it look so perfectly round.

Swallowing hard, Liu Ergou finally managed to tear his gaze away. "Yang Mei, what are you standing there for?" he asked, puzzled.

His question startled Yang Mei. "Ah? That… that…" Stammering, she took a few tiny steps toward Liu Ergou and carefully clung to his arm.

Yang Mei's action surprised him. What's gotten into her today? Approaching me on her own and even clinging to my arm… This would have been unthinkable before.

As Liu Ergou wondered about her behavior, Yang Mei said softly, "Um, Er Gou, I came to thank you for arranging a job for me."

Hearing this, Liu Ergou's eyebrows shot up. "Oh? You came to thank me today? Has the sun risen from the west?" he asked teasingly. "If I recall, the last time you only thanked me after I gave you a spanking!"

At his words, Yang Mei's face flushed bright red, and she was at a loss for words. Looking down, she couldn't help but start fiddling with her fingers.

Her shy demeanor only made Liu Ergou want to tease her more. "You look really nice today, Yang Mei," he said. "I've never seen you wear this outfit before!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand, intending to pat her on the head. But as he reached out, he seemed to think better of it and reluctantly pulled his hand back.

Hearing Liu Ergou making an effort to talk to her, she quickly replied, "I didn't have these clothes before. I bought them when I was in school. This is the first time I've ever worn them for anyone else to see!" As she spoke, she couldn't help but duck her head, her face nearly buried in her own chest from embarrassment.

Seeing her shy expression, Liu Ergou continued with a smile, "I see, so you bought them back in school! But why are you only wearing them now? Why didn't you wear them for me when you first came back? It's a bit late now!"

Yang Mei couldn't help but roll her eyes at his words. "You're not my boyfriend, so why would I wear them for you?" she said irritably. "Besides, I *am* wearing them for you now, aren't I!"

Hearing this, Liu Ergou had to suppress a laugh. It had only been a few minutes, and she was already struggling to keep her composure, her usual fiery demeanor peeking through. He found it highly amusing. He managed to hold back his laughter and instead seized on the opening in her words. "Oh, so you're wearing them for me to see *now*. Does that mean you dressed up especially for me, then?"

His words immediately deflated what little courage she had mustered, and she reverted to her shy self.

Looking at the once again bashful Yang Mei, Liu Ergou couldn't help but start thinking. Something is definitely not right today. Normally, if I teased her like this, she would have already started a fight with me. We would have argued enough to bring the house down. But today, she didn't argue. Instead, she's being shy, which is completely out of character. What's more, when I suggested she wore this outfit for me, she actually blushed. That means she really did wear it for me. Could it be… that she's actually fallen for me?

At that thought, Liu Ergou couldn't help but shake his head. What a joke. Since we were kids, Yang Mei and I have always been at odds. Every time we met, we'd end up arguing, and it always escalated to a fight. No exceptions.

Just as Liu Ergou was pondering this, Yang Mei suddenly reached out with her other hand and boldly took his. The action snapped Liu Ergou back to reality. "Hm? Yang Mei, what are you doing?" he asked instinctively.

At his question, Yang Mei kept her head bowed and answered in a small voice, "Nothing… I just… I just…" She trailed off, unable to explain herself, but her grip on his hand tightened.

Her actions left Liu Ergou a little distracted. Could she really have fallen for me?

With that thought, Liu Ergou decided to test her. He unceremoniously pulled his hand free and, in one swift motion, wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her into his embrace. Then, he gave her bottom a light slap. "Wow, Yang Mei, I never realized you had such a great figure. Your butt is so perky, it makes me want to spank you again!" he said, giving it another soft pat.

This made the already blushing Yang Mei turn an even deeper shade of red, leaving her unable to utter a single coherent word.

Several long moments passed before Yang Mei finally spoke in a tiny whisper, "If… if you really want to… then go ahead. But… not too hard!"
