Chapter 21
Gazing at the gentle and tender figure of An Nuonuo, Wang Ming felt his blood pound.
He happened to pass by here just now.
And he saw the quietly studying An Nuonuo sitting by the window in the classroom.
The young girl was lowering her head, with most of her face hidden behind her thick fringe.
Just at this moment, a gust of wind blew.
And her heavy bangs fluttered in the wind.
Wang Ming caught a glimpse of a sight he would never forget in his life.
The girl, with her bright eyes and gleaming teeth, looked serene and elegant, possessing an extraordinarily beautiful face.
Wang Ming felt his heartbeat slow down by half a beat.
In the school, there was such a hidden treasure of a girl!
The so-called school beauty in the school right now was nothing compared to her.
This was the real school beauty!
He rushed into the classroom right away, wanting to get An Nuonuo’s contact information.
The more the girl retreated, the more excited Wang Ming felt.
A girl with such a soft-speaking and beautiful, he had to have her!
But at this moment, Wang Ming noticed someone tapping on his shoulder.
He turned around, puzzled.
“Bang!”
A heavy fist smashed over.
He was then attacked by a flurry of punches and kicks from Jiang Xu.
“Are you freaking out of your mind, daring to touch my girl!”
Enraged, Jiang Xu threw heavy punches.
Especially the first punch, which knocked out Wang Ming’s teeth.
“Stop it.” An Nuonuo was startled, and then quickly pulled Jiang Xu away.
Jiang Xu finally stopped and asked with concern, “He didn’t do anything to you, did he?”
“No.” An Nuonuo shook her head.
“That’s good.” Jiang Xu was relieved.
Wang Ming struggled to get up, his eyes aflame, “You hit me for no reason, you’re going to be expelled!”
“Heh.” Jiang Xu scoffed, “Go ahead and report it, I want to see if I get expelled or if you, the scumbag who harasses female students, will be expelled.”
Wang Ming shouted angrily, “Bullshit, when did I harass her, I just wanted her contact information!”
Jiang Xu looked at An Nuonuo, “Did he harass you just now?”
An Nuonuo wanted to say no.
But after a moment of thought.
She nodded, “Yes.”
Wang Ming’s face changed.
Jiang Xu sneered at Wang Ming, “Do you know who I am? I’m the top student in grade two.
The girl beside me is a teacher’s pet who never lies.
If we both insist that you harassed a female student, you know what the outcome will be.”
“You!” Wang Ming was stunned.
“Get lost!” Jiang Xu suddenly turned cold, “If you don’t want to be expelled, don’t show up in front of me ever again.
And if you dare to harass her again, I guarantee you’ll suffer.”
Wang Ming couldn’t help but shiver.
The Jiang Xu at this moment was truly frightening!
He swallowed.
Ultimately, weighing the pros and cons, he didn’t dare to keep going and left dispiritedly.
The beating he got was totally uncalled for.
“You…can you loosen your hand now?” An Nuonuo weakly said.
Just now Jiang Xu had placed his hand on her shoulder.
His hand was wide and strong.
The palm was burning hot.
An Nuonuo felt like she was being melted, half of her body went numb.
Jiang Xu quietly took his hand back.
He then chastised her somewhat severely, “Are you stupid? In face of people like him, you don’t know how to resist?”
An Nuonuo lowered her head.
Jiang Xu lifted her head up, “Next time if someone bullies you, you must resist.
You can kick their legs, or their crotch, or bite their arms, and then take the chance to run away, got it?”
An Nuonuo weakly asked, “Does this apply to you too?”
Jiang Xu laughed out of anger, “You’re deliberately trying to annoy me, aren’t you? When have I ever bullied you?”
In her heart, An Nuonuo knew there certainly were instances.
He bullied me every day.
“Alright, remember what I told you, let’s go home.”
An Nuonuo hung her head low, like a little sulky pup, trailing behind Jiang Xu.
She efficiently got onto Jiang Xu’s bike.
“Do you know how to ride?” asked Jiang Xu.
An Nuonuo: “No.”
Jiang Xu: “Then I’ll teach you this Saturday and Sunday, don’t even think about refusing.”
Next moment.
Jiang Xu felt his arm slightly damp.
He turned his head to look.
Well, I’ll be.
The little girl had actually bitten him.
But she didn’t use force.
She was quick to let go.
With her face flushed, An Nuonuo spoke softly, “You taught me. When someone bullies me, I should bite them.”
“Quick to learn and apply,” Jiang Xu smirked, “It seems you haven’t yet been ‘beaten up’ by society.”
With that, Jiang Xu quickly turned the bike.
The bike swayed left and right.
“Ah!”
An Nuonuo let out a startled cry, suddenly losing her balance.
She almost fell over.
Instinctively, she held onto Jiang Xu’s waist.
Blue sky, white clouds.
Occasional breezes.
A path.
Sunset.
You and I.
Together, we made a picturesque scene called youth.
As it happened, Zhou Qingyue, who was walking home alone, saw all of this.
Today, she rejected Cheng Fei, even told him to stop pursuing her from now on.
Starting from tomorrow, she would learn to ride a bike by herself, to go to school by herself.
She’d been telling herself over and over that it’s okay, that everything would pass.
But then, she saw this intimate scene between the two.
Zhou Qingyue could hardly hold it together.
An overwhelming sense of grievance and regret welled up inside her, “I was here first.”
Jiang Xu stopped at the secondhand bicycle store they had passed by in the morning.
The cheapest bike was still there.
He told the shopkeeper, “Boss, I really want this bike. Can you give me a discount?”
The boss was a middle-aged man, very kind looking.
He chuckled, “Since you’re a student, I’ll give you a discount. 28 yuan will be enough.”
Jiang Xu: “Boss, look at this bike, it’s all worn out. We still have to overhaul it when we get it home. Can you lower it a bit further?”
“Boss, can we get a better price?” An Nuonuo also joined in.
She spoke in such a weak voice, it naturally induced a protective instinct in others.
The boss’s heart softened, “Alright, 25. That’s the cheapest I can offer.”
Jiang Xu grinned, “Thanks, boss.”
He paid and left.
The two of them each pushed a bike.
They weren’t far from their homes.
“Jiang, what did you buy this bike for?”
“Call me Brother.”
“Jiang… Brother.”
With a slight pout, An Nuonuo felt that Jiang Xu was bullying her again.
“This bike, I bought to modify and then gift it to you.”
An Nuonuo was startled and quickly shook her head, “No, it’s too expensive. I can’t accept it.”
25 yuan would be enough for her meals for a long while.
Jiang Xu: “You gave me the sachet, it’s only right that I give something back.”
“But… the sachet isn’t worth much.” An Nuonuo softly protested.
“Who says!” Jiang Xu glared, “To me, that sachet is priceless. I wouldn’t trade it for a mountain of gold!”
A warm current flowed through her heart.
An Nuonuo gently swallowed.
She didn’t know why, but hearing those words, she felt her mouth becoming sweet.
What a wonder.
Jiang Xu continued, “So, are you going to ignore my heartfelt gesture for you?”
