Darn it.
Having stayed in Jiang Xiaoyan's room last night, he must have been permeated with some of her perfume scent.
If he went to school like this, he would be definitely sniffed out by An Nuonuo.
So he went back to take another shower, changed his clothes before heading off to school.
When he arrived in the classroom, An Nuonuo was not at her seat.
Just as he sat down, An Nuonuo returned.
The young girl's eyes were sparkling bright, extending her right hand to him, "Here."
In her hand was a peeled apple.
Jiang Xu took it, somewhat surprised. "How did you know I would come by now?"
He had told An Nuonuo he would be there in the afternoon, but he did not specify the time.
At this point, Zhang Yuanyuan interjected. "You don't know, do you? She had been waiting outside, watching the school gate.
Seeing you walk in, she went straight to peel an apple for you."
"No... that's not true," An Nuonuo stammered, slightly embarrassed. "Don't listen to her nonsense."
Jiang Xu felt a warm sensation in his heart.
This silly girl had actually been waiting outside for him.
But he also felt relieved.
It was a good thing he had changed his clothes.
Otherwise, it would have been a severe accident waiting to happen.
"Crunch!"
Jiang Xu took a bite, grinning. "It's really sweet."
An Nuonuo also broke into a happy smile and sat down.
Then continued, "I talked to my father about the house yesterday.
A secretary of my father's gave me the property certificate at noon."
Saying this, she took out the property certificate from her backpack.
Jiang Xu took a glance at it and was relieved.
With this house, An Nuonuo would have a sanctuary, no matter what happened in the future.
In the afternoon, during the first lesson.
The class teacher came in and brought with him a handsome, clean-faced boy, nearly 1.8 meters tall.
Keep in mind, this was not a decade later when kids are well-nourished from a young age,
So having students who were 1.7 or 1.8 meters tall in primary school was quite common.
At this time, a height of 1.7 meters for a male student was considered quite good.
So, a new, handsome student of 1.8 meters instantly caught the attention of most girls in the class.
The class teacher spoke, "Sorry to interrupt, we have a new transfer student here. Let him introduce himself."
"Hello, everyone. My name is Qin Feng, I'm seventeen, and I'm very honored to become classmates with all of you."
Having said that, he bowed deeply.
The class broke into warm applause.
Of course, it was mostly the girls who applauded enthusiastically.
The boys, however, were not as impressed.
After all, who would like someone who far surpasses them in all aspects of appearance?
The class teacher then seated Qin Feng behind Fu Yanjie and left.
Just a transfer student. Jiang Xu wasn't preoccupied about it and continued reading his borrowed university textbook.
He was reading a book about programming.
This time, he wanted to change his major.
Programming would be in high demand in the next decade.
Moreover, if he were to start a business in the future, having relevant technical knowledge would be very convenient and could avoid being fooled by subordinates.
After the first lesson ended in the afternoon.
Qin Feng rushed out.
Not long after, he came back carrying two large boxes.
He then announced to everyone, "I'm treating you all to bubble tea. I didn't know what flavors everyone liked, so I bought a bunch of different ones."
This gesture won the favor of many classmates almost instantaneously.
Yeah.
Kids at this age are just so straightforward.
If you treat me to eat and drink, then we're good friends.
Especially for many of the girls in the class.
They initially thought Qin Feng was quite good looking.
Now, they just had an even better impression of him.
A few female classmates cheerfully volunteered to help distribute the milk tea.
Qin Feng handed two cups of milk tea to Jiang Xu.
His face bore a candid and friendly smile, "Here you two, have some milk tea."
He handed one to Jiang Xu first, then to An Nuonuo.
His gaze didn't linger on An Nuonuo for long before he moved on.
Jiang Xu, however, was slightly frowning.
Though Qin Feng hadn't acted unusually just now,
he could still sense something was off through his instinct as a man.
Something's not right with this guy.
"The milk tea is really good." An Nuonuo said softly.
Jiang Xu handed his own cup to her: "If you like it, you can have mine as well."
"Mm, thank you."
"No need to thank me, we're family."
The teenage girl blushed, giving Jiang Xu a glare.
Then she lowered her head, sipping the milk tea and reading her book at the same time.
She was still planning on majoring in education, just like in her past life.
This major could be quite promising if she were to start her own business someday.
Fu Yanjie came over, nudging Jiang Xu playfully, "Feeling the threat?"
"Hmm? What threat?"
"That guy called Qin Feng. He's as good-looking as you, plus he's taller. Heard he's doing well in school too. Watch out or he might steal your 'campus king' title."
Jiang Xu gave a cold laugh, "Shouldn't you be worrying about yourself?"
Fu Yanjie: "What?"
Jiang Xu struck back: "You're only average-looking, of average height, with average grades, and your skin is dark.
Your overall ranking in the class isn't high. Wouldn't your rank drop one more place when he comes?"
"You!" Fu Yanjie covered his heart, "You're mean. You just enjoy humiliating me.
This humiliation, one day I will return it a hundredfold!"
A heartbroken Fu Yanjie ran off.
Zhang Yuanyuan handed him a piece of candy, "It's alright. Don't be sad."
Fu Yanjie said thanks, then asked, "Yuanyuan, do I have any strong points?"
"Yes."
Fu Yanjie perked up, "Quick, tell me."
"Um..." Zhang Yuanyuan hesitated, "Your strength is... your strength is... Don't rush me. You definitely have one. I can think of it..."
Fu Yanjie laid his head on the desk, "Just go. I don't want to see you anymore."
Before they knew it, school was over.
As usual, the two walked home together.
But halfway there, a shout came from behind them.
"You two, wait for me."
Jiang Xu turned around and saw Qin Feng.
He was pedaling his bicycle over.
With a full grin, he said, "What a coincidence! Do you two live this way too?"
Jing Xu also smiled and nodded.
An Nuonuo politely nodded too.
"Could I walk with you guys?" Qin Feng asked a bit embarrassedly, "I want to fit into this big family as soon as possible."
As he spoke, his gaze stayed on Jiang Xu.
Full of sincerity and earnestness.
Qin Feng tried his best not to look at An Nuonuo.
Just one look from afar on the bus yesterday had kept him restless all night.
Now up close, he could feel an even stronger impact.
His heart was on fire.
He had to win her over!
An Nuonuo couldn't help but look at Jiang Xu.
Though she didn't really like walking with someone she wasn't familiar with,
she had just drunk that person's milk tea and didn't want to decline directly.
Jiang Xu's eyes flickered, not rejecting, but inquired, "Did you say you want to fit in quickly?"
"Yes." Qin Feng nodded.
Jiang Xu's lips curved up, "Well then, I have a way to help you integrate into our big family quickly."
