Chapter 51
Jiang Xu gave him a kick.
Inciting for no reason.
Not even considering what kind of situation this was.
It might’ve been acceptable if there were fewer people here.
An Nuonuo, naturally flustered, hastily put the microphone down and curled up in a corner, pretending to become invisible.
They played until nine o’clock before everyone finally left.
Once outside, quite a few female classmates asked for Nuonuo’s QQ number.
An Nuonuo felt somewhat at a loss.
She hadn’t even created her own QQ account yet.
Telling them this might make them not believe her or even think she was acting aloof.
Jiang Xu stepped in to help her out, “I’ll post it in the group chat later. She can’t remember her own QQ number.”
The girl gave Jiang Xu a look of gratitude.
Being by his side, gave her a sense of security.
The class teacher took on the responsibility of ensuring everyone got home safely.
Jiang Xu instructed the driver to stop at the three-way junction near his house.
“Goodbye, teacher.”
The three of them walked side by side.
Fu Yanjie spotted a milk tea shop not too far away. He asked the other two for their preferred flavors, then ran over to buy some.
Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo continued walking slowly.
The girl was well developed, much more so than her peers.
Seemingly, this happened during the time Jiang Xu was taking care of her.
Perhaps due to what happened earlier at the KTV, for the life of her, she didn’t know what to say to Jiang Xu.
The two maintained their silence.
Fu Yanjie returned quickly and handed over the milk teas.
Then he slapped his forehead: “I forgot one thing.”
“Hmm?”
The two of them looked at him simultaneously.
Fu Yanjie: “There are over fifty internet cafes near our home, big and small. My dad’s invested in all of them.
So, we don’t need to go each one, signing contracts.
As long as I give the word, they can start selling boxed lunches.”
Jiang Xu: “???”
An Nuonuo: “???”
“Wait, what’s the deal?” Jiang Xu asked, completely puzzled, “Why would your dad invest in so many internet cafes?”
Fu Yanjie scratched his head: “Because my dad doesn’t allow me to go online. He invested in those internet cafes to monitor me.”
Jiang Xu: “Damn!”
Your brilliance is beyond me.
In a small voice, An Nuonuo asked, “Are the internet cafe owners willing to accept Uncle’s investments?”
“A lot of them weren’t.” Fu Yanjie shrugged, “My dad said,
If you don’t let him invest, he’ll open a bigger, more luxurious cafe next door.
And then offer its use free of charge, driving you out of business.
Well, opening an internet cafe doesn’t cost much.”
An Nuonuo: “Huh???”
Jiang Xu opened his mouth, but found himself at a loss for words.
Finally, he managed to say, “Just how rich is your family?”
In his past life, he only knew that Fu Yanjie’s dad had three listed companies.
As for the rest, that he didn’t know.
“I don’t know.” Fu Yanjie’s eyes revealed his genuine cluelessness, “My dad always tells me to keep a low profile.
He insists I must never let others know we’re rich.”
Jiang Xu didn’t feel like talking to this bastard anymore. So you have some stinky money, big deal?
I….
I may not have a lot right now, but my future wife will have plenty.
Jiang Xu waved his hand dismissively, his face full of distaste, “Just get lost. I get irritated just looking at you.”
Fu Yanjie chuckled, “Then I’ll go. You two can have fun.”
Jiang Xu sent a kick his way, but he nimbly dodged it.
Seeing the girl’s discomfort, Jiang Xu laughed, “He was just joking, don’t take him seriously.”
“Hmm…”
In silence, he accompanied her home.
And then.
Suddenly, a ‘big black rat’ darted out.
Both of them were startled.
Upon closer inspection, it was Jun Yue.
Jiang Xu immediately kicked him: “Are you sick, scaring people in the middle of the night?”
Jun Yue ignored the footprint on his leg and looked at An Nuonuo.
Then, he was struck as if by a heavy blow.
The unsealed An Nuonuo was so stunning that anyone who knew her would be shocked at first sight.
While Jun Yue had caught a glimpse of An Nuonuo’s natural beauty before, it was nothing compared to seeing her face-to-face at this moment.
“Brother Junyue, what are you doing here?”
Jun Yue came to his senses, his heart beating fast.
He stuttered a bit: “I… was waiting for you… I wanted to… ask for your contact information…”
It was killing him inside.
The first day of summer vacation, he originally planned to find Nuonuo.
Who knew she left early in the morning. He came by again at noon, but she was still not there.
By nightfall, his stubborn streak kicked in.
He had to wait for NuoNuo, no matter what.
“I don’t have QQ or a mobile phone.” An Nuonuo said softly: “Brother Junyue, have you been waiting long?”
“No, just arrived.” Jun Yue was smiling like a fool.
Nuonuo was incredibly beautiful now, she was simply captivating.
Jiang Xu was speechless.
This guy was as stubborn as a bull, more persistent than he had ever been.
Jun Yue suggested again, “Then let’s go to the internet cafe together tomorrow, I’ll help you register a QQ account. It’s inconvenient without one.”
An Nuonuo: “Thank you Brother Junyue, Jiang Xu said he would help me register.”
Jun Yue was feeling frustrated.
No matter how he looked at Jiang Xu, he was displeased.
How could this guy be like a stubborn plaster, always clinging to the one his heart desired.
Undeterred, he asked again, “When are you guys going tomorrow, can you take me with you?”
He had to keep an eye on the girl he had set his sight on as his future wife, and could not let this bastard Jiang Xu take advantage of the situation.
“Ahem!” Jiang Xu coughed, “Sorry, she’s coming to my place tomorrow, we have a computer.”
Jun Yue: “!!!”
Before he could say anything else, Jiang Xu had already pushed An Nuonuo to the door of her house, “Alright, it’s too late, you should go home and rest.”
“Oh, goodbye Jiang Xu, goodbye Brother Junyue.”
Jiang Xu waved his hand and walked away.
Leaving Jun Yue alone standing there, feeling like crying but unable to shed tears.
“Brother Junyue.”
Just when Jun Yue was about to leave, An Nuonuo suddenly poked her head out again.
Jun Yue’s spirit was revived.
He quickly ran over, “Nuonuo, is there something else?”
An Nuonuo pursed her lips.
After hesitating for a moment, she still said, “Brother Junyue, I only see you as an older brother.
You don’t need to treat me specially, it puts a psychological burden on me and I won’t dare to see you again.”
Jun Yue stood frozen.
An Nuonuo felt a bit guilty, but still spoke in a firm tone, “Maybe I’m overthinking, but I feel it’s better to clarify things.
To avoid causing any unnecessary misunderstandings for Brother Junyue.
And don’t waste your time on me.”
The girl seemed a bit naive, but she was very sensitive.
Jun Yue’s intentions were too obvious.
And she indeed did not have that kind of feeling for Jun Yue.
This was something completely different from Zhou Qingyue.
Jun Yue only felt his mouth was dry and bitter.
What An Nuonuo said was a huge blow to him.
After a moment of silence, Jun Yue asked with a hoarse voice, “So, do you like Jiang Xu?”
