Serving to Satisfaction
Arthur Evans felt a headache coming on. When his little sister got stubborn, there was no persuading her. Helpless, Arthur Evans said, "Fine, you go wait at the teahouse across the street. I'll go ask Benjamin Zhang."
"Alright, I'll wait," May Parker tidied her clothes, happily turned and entered the teahouse, ordering the cheapest iced tea and sat down to wait.
"Oh, isn't this the top scholar's little sister?" A woman's voice sounded behind her. May Parker turned to see the village's Tofu Beauty.
The Tofu Beauty's basket was filled with newly purchased cloth. She swayed her waist flirtatiously and threw a coquettish glance at the teahouse owner nearby. "I'm heading back now. Did you enjoy today's tofu?"
The owner rubbed his hands together and grinned lecherously. "Of course! Tofu Beauty's tofu is simply the best—so white, so tender, so fragrant. Tsk tsk!"
May Parker rolled her eyes and muttered inwardly: Shameless hussy!
Tofu Beauty and May Parker weren't close, so after a quick greeting, she left. Just as she reached the doorway, she saw several well-dressed young gentlemen enter the teahouse, with Arthur Evans following behind.
Tofu Beauty often visited the teahouse and naturally recognized the young men from Greenfield Academy. She straightened up, adjusted her hair, and threw a flirtatious glance at Benjamin Zhang, the leader, lingering at the doorway as if undecided whether to leave.
Zhang Bin knew how things worked. Seeing the delicate young lady sending him secret signals, he took the chance as he passed her to discreetly slip a small jade token into her hand.
Tofu Beauty hid the jade token with a beaming smile and said to Arthur Evans, "Oh, isn't this the eldest son of the Evans family? What a coincidence."
Arthur Evans's face darkened like the bottom of a pot. He greeted Tofu Beauty briefly, then strode into the teahouse.
The moment May Parker saw Benjamin Zhang arrive, her eyes sparkled with excitement and she hurried to greet him. "Benjamin, you—you finally came... I've waited so bitterly these days. When will you come to my house to propose?"
Tofu Beauty covered her mouth and giggled. So, the Evans family's haughty top scholar's sister wanted to climb the social ladder by marrying into the richest Zhang family in Greenfield City!
Benjamin Zhang casually comforted May Parker with a couple of words, then turned to ask Arthur Evans, "Is that young lady from your village?"
Arthur Evans glanced at Tofu Beauty. "She's our village's Tofu Beauty."
"Tofu Beauty..." Benjamin Zhang looked her up and down. Tofu Beauty, knowing she'd caught Benjamin Zhang's attention, struck a graceful pose and slowly walked away.
May Parker, finally seeing Benjamin Zhang, pulled out all the stops to please him. Benjamin Zhang found the village girl surprisingly charming and recalled their previous encounter. Since she was offering herself, he saw no reason to refuse. He sent Arthur Evans away, opened a room, and planned to do the deed with May Parker right away.
Arthur Evans wasn't stupid; he knew exactly what Benjamin Zhang intended. Still, he kept his head down and returned to Greenfield Academy, silently hoping his sister would please Benjamin Zhang—at least enough to become his concubine.
May Parker was overjoyed and took the initiative, but to her surprise, Benjamin Zhang called his two friends into the room as well.
"May, why are you hesitating? Didn't you just say you'd do anything for me?" Benjamin Zhang said, watching May Parker's resistance.
May Parker looked at the three men in the room. Though she resisted inside, she couldn't withstand Benjamin Zhang's coaxing. She did everything she could to please all three, and when it was over, collapsed weakly in Benjamin Zhang's arms, sweetly saying, "Benjamin, you saw it—I only have eyes for you. Whatever you ask, I'll do... When will you come to my house to propose?"
