Suddenly grabbed by the hands by Jiang Xu, An Nuonuo felt a little unsettled.
She attempted to free herself forcefully but to no avail.
“Don’t move. It’s cold. Don’t let your little hands freeze,” said Jiang Xu
earnestly.
“But…” An Nuonuo softly replied, “My hands won’t be cold if I just keep them in
my pockets.”
Jiang Xu said quite seriously, “My body warmth isn’t better than your pockets?
Alright, enough talking, let’s go. After breakfast, we can take a nap.
An Nuonuo felt like he was merely spouting nonsense, but she had no evidence
to prove so.
So, she let him lead her forward.
There was an odd feeling stirring in her heart.
It felt sweet, akin to drinking honey water.
“Are we eating here?”
A dumpling shop appeared before them and An Nuonuo asked.
“No,” Jiang Xu shook his head, “No dumplings today. Let’s walk a bit further.”
So, they went on for a few hundred meters more.
“There’s a place that sells rice noodles here,” An Nuonuo pointed out again.
Jiang Xu: “I don’t want rice noodles today.”
So, they walked a little further again.
An Nuonuo once more brought to his attention: “This place sells rice noodle
rolls, spicy soup, and mutton noodles.”
Jiang Xu muttered unhappily, “Why are these shops so close together, it’s really annoying.”
An Nuonuo giggled at his reaction.
Looking at her expression, Jiang Xu knew that she had figured out his little
scheme.
However, he didn’t feel embarrassed in the slightest.
Sometimes, it’s appropriate to have a bit of a thick skin.
In the end, they chose mutton noodles.
In the biting cold of winter, eating a bowl of hot mutton noodles sprinkled with red and black pepper warmed up the entire body.
It provided all the energy needed for the day.
After breakfast, the pair returned home to freshen up, set the alarm for nine, and went to sleep.
At nine o’clock, they were awoken by the alarm.
Jiang Xu stretched lazily.
Youth was great. Even after only three hours of sleep, he felt invigorated.
He checked his phone and found a message from Fu Yanjie.
He wanted to bring Zhang Yuanyuan along and was asking if Jiang Xu was okay
with it.
Jiang Xu immediately replied that it was no problem.
After waiting for over twenty minutes, Fu Yanjie and Zhang Yuanyuan arrived.
They carried bags of all sizes.
Out of all four of them, An Nuonuo was the only one with a driver’s license, so
she drove.
Once everything was ready, they set off.
Jiang Xu sat in the passenger seat, occasionally glancing into the backseat
through the rear-view mirror.
There was something off about these two, definitely off.
So, he decided to send a message to Fu Yanjie to find out what was going on.
However, before he could send it, Fu Yanjie spoke first.
“Ahem, I’d like to make an official announcement. Yuanyuan and I have agreed to start dating after the college entrance exam.
So, she is now practically my girlfriend.”
“Well, well!” Jiang Xu paused in his actions.
He turned his head to gaze at the two of them: “Well done!”
An Nuonuo also joyfully conveyed her congratulations.
Zhang Yuanyuan, seeming rather bashful, said, “He…he hasn’t finished yet.
I mean, he has to get into a university, even if it’s just a junior college.
Zhang Yuanyuan’s grades were quite decent.
If she performed normally, she could get into a reputable university.
Her words were more in a form of encouragement for Fu Yanjie.
It was quite like the promise An Nuonuo once made to Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xu gave Fu Yanjie a thumbs-up.
The lad had finally proved to be reliable.
Yuanyuan was a nice girl, suitable for being a girlfriend, even a wife.
If Fu Yanjie married her, his family would definitely be harmonious.
Least of all, he wouldn’t have to worry about his family fortune.
Around eleven o’clock, they arrived in a suburban area.
There was a large grassy field and a small river with clear water.
The cold wind blew in gusts.
It was rather cold, but they could start a fire in a while.
After getting out of the car, they unloaded everything from the trunk.
The barbecue grill, charcoal, and some meat were provided by Fu Yanjie.
Zhang Yuanyuan had brought some homegrown vegetables, sweet potatoes, and coms.
An Nuonuo was in charge of driving, and Jiang Xu volunteered to help everyone digest their food.
Once the food was taken out, the two girls started washing it.
“Jiang Xu, come here for a second.” Fu Yanjie pulled Jiang Xu aside.
He looked suspiciously to the left, then to the right, “I want to ask you
something.”
“Why so secretive? What’s up?”
“I just want to know if you have any advice on how I can accelerate the progress of my relationship with Zhang Yuanyuan.”
Speaking of which, Jiang Xu patted his shoulder: “Didn’t you just tell me yesterday that you were chasing another girl who was older than you?
Why did you start going out with Zhang Yuanyuan in the blink of an eye? Fu Yanjie became anxious immediately: “I told you, she is just a friend of mine.”
Jiang Xu: “Well, you’re talking tough huh? Then I won’t tell you the methods.” “Wait, okay okay, I admit it was me.” Fu Yanjie reluctantly admitted, “Didn’t I listen to you and think you were right?
Plus, Zhang Yuanyuan is kind of nice herself.”
Jiang Xu looked down on him: “You’re a complete jerk. If it weren’t for your wealth, I’d have cut ties with you a long time ago.”
Fu Yanjie: “Alright, enough with the nonsense. Hurry up and tell me what I should do.”
Jiang Xu: “Do you still remember the poem ‘Pipa Line’?”
Fu Yanjie was puzzled, “Of course I remember, but what does it have to do with this?”
Jiang Xu revealed an inscrutable grin: “There’s a line in it that goes ‘Lightly plucked and gently played then rapidly picked’. If you can comprehend this, you’d be a grandmaster.”
“What?” Fu Yanjie’s tiny eyes were full of question marks.
“Ah!” Jiang Xu looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle: “In this era, no one understands me.”
He emanated a sentiment of profound loneliness.
Jiang Xu patted Fu Yanjie on the shoulder once again: “Alright, you won’t understand such profound things, so I will tell you something simpler.
Fu Yanjie was all ears.
Jiang Xu: “Actually, it’s quite simple. Just follow my steps.
■Ah, your hands are so small’, ‘Wow, your skin is much fairer than mine’. ‘Your bone structure is quite small’, ‘You smell so nice’, ‘You’re so cute’. ‘Let’s compare the size of our palms’,
■Do you want to come over to my place and watch a movie over the weekend?
Fu Yanjie’s mouth was wide open, big enough to swallow several eggs.
After a while, he gave Jiang Xu a thumbs-up: “No wonder you were able to woo An Nuonuo, there’s actually such a routine.”
Jiang Xu grinned lightly: “Did you learn all this? I have one final killer move, do you want to learn it?”
