NOVEL NEXT Chapter 232: Aristocratic School
At nine in the morning, the winter sun outside was a bit brighter.
Sunlight spilled through the sheer curtains, casting dappled shadows around the room.
Wei Jia stood in front of the full-length mirror, her curvaceous figure and those long, straight legs looked particularly stunning in the sunlight.
She glanced at her soaked jacket in the laundry basket, frowned slightly, picked up Li Jing's designer suit and examined it for a moment, with a smile gradually forming on her lips, tinged with interest.
Then, she draped Li Jing's suit over her shoulders. The oversized garment enveloped her, yet couldn't hide her allure.
The sleeves were slightly too long, which she casually rolled up, revealing her delicate, fair wrists that were as smooth as mutton-fat jade. The collar slightly open, her clavicle was delicate, her skin appearing exceptionally silky under the gentle caress of the sun. Turning to the side, the slim-fit trousers hung loosely on her waist, making her legs appear even longer.
By this time, Li Jing had already changed into his jacket and walked out of the room, just in time to see Wei Jia wearing his casual suit, and couldn't help but freeze, a flash of amazement and surprise in his eyes.
Compared to the well-tailored, form-fitting women's suit she wore before, Wei Jia in Li Jing's suit appeared much looser, yet it didn't seem out of place, rather more like an intentionally styled oversized fashion.
Unlike her usual style of professional seriousness, Wei Jia now looked more fashionable and trendy.
"Looks good. Completely different from your usual vibe, but very beautiful."
Li Jing looked her over, sincerely complimenting her.
Upon hearing this, the corners of Wei Jia's mouth couldn't help but lift slightly, her exquisite eyes glancing at him: "Are you always this sweet-tongued? No wonder so many women flock around you."
"I just like to tell the truth."
Li Jing shrugged, standing beside Wei Jia, looking at their reflection in the mirror, smiled: "Look, we match quite well."
Wei Jia looked at their close proximity in the mirror, her heart stirred, faintly experiencing a different feeling.
In her memory, since graduating, this was the first time she had been so close to a man without rejecting him, even being somewhat attracted by his charisma.
Especially at this moment, wearing this man's clothes, she was not only not disdainful but even somewhat satisfied.
This guy... what on earth is his magic?
Wei Jia glanced at Li Jing, who was tidying his collar, her eyes faintly flashing with rich and complex emotions.
Then she noticed her clothes in the laundry basket and said, "Remember to wash these clothes for me, and as for this set you're giving me, it's pretty good, I'm taking it."
"You're just going to take it?"
Li Jing raised an eyebrow: "This suit cost me close to a hundred thousand."
"What, can't bear to part with it?"
Hearing his words, Wei Jia snorted coldly: "You were the one who pulled me into the bathtub, otherwise..."
"Alright, alright, I'll give it to you, I never said I wouldn't."
Seeing that the other party was planning to argue, Li Jing immediately conceded: "All my clothes can be yours."
"Really?"
The corners of Wei Jia's mouth lifted, her elongated phoenix eyes glancing around the room, then said: "I don't need your clothes, but I do want a room here."
"You want a room?"
Li Jing paused in adjusting his clothes, surprised: "You want to stay here?"
"Aren't I your woman? I don't have a house in Tianhai, I always stay in hotels, from now on, I'll stay here when I visit Tianhai, any problem with that?"
Looking at the penetrating and sharp eyes of the other party questioning him, Li Jing surrendered helplessly, raising his hands: "No problem, no problem, you can stay if you want, you've recorded the fingerprint lock anyway."
"That's more like it."
Wei Jia smiled with satisfaction and decisively chose a room closest to Li Jing's master bedroom, not giving him a chance to oppose: "This room is mine from now on, and apart from you, no one else is allowed in, especially women."
"Cough cough cough..."
Facing her sharp gaze, Li Jing avoided his eyes: "Alright, I listen to you.
But someone's got to clean up, right? An Tong usually takes care of the maintenance here, she has to enter the room, correct?"
"An Tong?"
Wei Jia recalled the pretty and sensible girl, thought for a while, then reluctantly nodded: "Fine, An Tong can come in, but absolutely no other women."
"Okay, okay."
Li Jing relented, realizing that although he had captivated Wei Jia, she was constantly vying for her own sovereignty.
But fortunately, this woman was clear-minded and rational enough; she had said she would allow him to have other women, she wouldn't act like a small-minded woman getting tangled up and causing trouble, she would face any dissatisfaction directly.
Of course, on the premise that she must rank as the first among Li Jing's women.
...
After leaving Li Jing's house, the two took the Wei Family's Porsche to her brother's school, also a prestigious school in Tianhai — Tianhai New District International School.
Through conversations on the way, Li Jing learned that this school includes elementary, middle, and high school, occupying a vast area with excellent educational resources.
Now Wei Jia's brother, Wei Zheming, was in senior high school, with a tuition fee of nearly three hundred thousand per year.
After hearing Wei Jia's account, Li Jing's first feeling was that the children of wealthy families are different from ordinary children right from the starting line.
Getting out of the car, Li Jing followed Wei Jia through the school gate.
The design of the school gate was striking, unlike the typically conventional gates of ordinary schools, instead incorporating both modern and traditional elements, with both the materials and color coordination standing out.
The school name sign at the entrance was impressive and imposing, accompanied by its English name, showcasing the school's international characteristics.
Although Li Jing had experienced many high-end hotels and restaurants in Tianhai, he had never been inside such a school before, giving him a completely different experience.
Unlike regular schools, this place didn't have a traditionally solemn atmosphere, but instead exuded a sense of openness, inclusiveness, and vitality, making Li Jing feel relaxed and at ease.
As he walked through the gate, entering the campus, the inner courtyard was extremely spacious, with the greenery and landscape of the campus echoing the exterior, numerous lawns scattered, tall and low trees brimming with life, like a meticulously crafted garden.
As Li Jing delved deeper into the school, he noticed various facilities and areas that normal schools didn't have, such as a gym, rock climbing zone, art exhibition corridor, and robotics lab...
Seeing Li Jing captivated by the school's setting, Wei Jia, walking alongside, couldn't help but smile slightly and asked, "How do you find this school?"
Li Jing paused his words on hearing this, then said, "It's good. The children studying here are incredibly lucky."
"Lucky?"
Wei Jia looked at his face, puzzled, "You seem quite emotional?"
"Hmm."
Li Jing gazed at the students playing soccer on the lush green field in the distance, speaking slowly:
"I just thought about some of the rural areas back in my hometown, where the kids probably would never know that schools can be so beautiful."
As his voice faded, Wei Jia's eyes changed slightly; she hadn't expected Li Jing to have such thoughts.
Turning to observe his deep eyes for a while, she realized he seemed to frequently bring her unexpected feelings now and then.
This feeling was something she wouldn't encounter in her own social circle, and it was precisely this feeling that made Li Jing especially unique and different, becoming one of the reasons she found him attractive.
After a while, she asked again: "And now, what are you thinking?"
Li Jing withdrew from his musings, smiled softly: "Not much, just suddenly felt that with so much money, I should help those kids in impoverished areas. Although it might not change their lives dramatically, perhaps it can provide them with relatively fair educational resources."
Saying this, he turned to look at Wei Jia's surprised yet exquisite eyes, calmly asking:
"Do you know how much it costs to donate a school in a poverty-stricken area?"
