So frustrating!
Zhou Qingyue sat at her desk, staring at the questions, unable to read a single word.
She couldn't understand why Jiang Xu was treating her this way.
It was too much.
Wasn't he afraid she would be heartbroken, or even taken away by others?
Then she thought of An Nuonuo.
These few days, she was almost inseparable from Jiang Xu.
Even though Zhou Qingyue believed she was far superior to An Nuonuo in every regard.
She still believed that Jiang Xu was doing this on purpose, just to annoy her.
But she still felt a sense of crisis.
What if they fell in love over time?
"Should I...take the initiative instead?"
This thought flashed through Zhou Qingyue's mind.
And then it spread like wildfire.
Not long ago, she had emphatically stated that she would never be the one to initiate a reconciliation.
Women's words...
Zhou Qingyue picked up her mobile phone and opened QQ.
Came to see a bunch of messages from Cheng Fei.
Are you there?
Have you eaten?
Have you taken a bath?
Have you slept?
Remember to cover yourself with a quilt when you sleep at night.
Zhou Qingyue was annoyed at the sight of it.
What is all this?!
She didn't feel like responding.
She would tell him her parents confiscated her phone when she saw him tomorrow.
Zhou Qingyue clicked on Jiang Xu's chat box.
The last message was from a few days ago, a "good morning" sent by Jiang Xu.
Zhou Qingyue couldn't help but scroll up, looking at their previous chat records.
Compared to Cheng Fei's bland way of chatting.
Jiang Xu's was much more interesting.
He would tell some jokes.
And share some little stories he liked.
People are like this, afraid of being compared.
She originally planned to use Cheng Fei to provoke Jiang Xu.
But after getting to know him, Zhou Qingyue felt even more that Jiang Xu was superior.
After thinking about it.
Zhou Qingyue composed a message and sent it over.
Jiang Xu, can you bring me breakfast tomorrow? I miss your breakfast.
She also added a smiley face at the end.
The smiley of this era does not carry any aggression.
Once she sent it, Zhou Qingyue began thinking about how happy she would be with Jiang Xu's surprised reply.
After all.
This was the first time she had taken the initiative.
"Seriously, what's wrong with this woman?"
Jiang Xu was speechless and annoyed after receiving Zhou Qingyue's message.
He thought that I would still be the old me.
Thirty years...oh wait, wrong scenario.
Without a second thought, he deleted her outright.
Such a hassle!
After delivering food to his parents.
Jiang Xu finished his homework, then drafted the outline for his novel.
He would update the chapter at the Internet cafe after school tomorrow afternoon.
Checking the time, it was almost half-past ten.
After finishing his nightly routine, he went to sleep.
Youths are so lucky, falling asleep as soon as they lie down.
On the other side.
Zhou Qingyue waited a long time, but never received a reply from Jiang Xu.
She was feeling a bit on edge.
So, she sent another message.
The next second, she was dumbfounded.
You are not yet a friend of the other party, please add as a friend and send the message again.
"Boom!"
Zhou Qingyue's head felt as if it had been struck by lightning. Her mind went blank.
Did he...delete her?
Shaking her head vigorously, she wondered if she was hallucinating.
Upon closer inspection.
Indeed, Jiang Xu had deleted her.
Zhou Qingyue's hand was trembling.
Anger, resentment, and an undercurrent of fear she hadn't noticed before spread from her heart.
She felt like rushing over to confront Jiang Xu right now.
Questioning him on why he deleted her.
How dare he!
She couldn't sleep at all that night.
The next day, she woke up with heavy dark circles under her eyes.
After quickly washing up, Zhou Qingyue left the house.
She was going to confront Jiang Xu at his front door.
If she didn't, she wouldn't be able to vent her anger.
But...
Just as Zhou Qingyue stepped out the door, she froze.
She didn't know where Jiang Xu lived!
But Jiang Xu knew where she lived.
After all, Jiang Xu used to brave the elements to bring her home every day.
Zhou Qingyue felt tears welling up in her eyes.
She felt an overwhelming sense of unfairness flooding her heart.
...
Jiang Xu had a good night's sleep.
He got up, washed up, read a book, and went out to buy breakfast.
As he passed a second-hand bicycle shop, Jiang Xu stopped.
"Boss, how much is this bicycle?" he asked.
"The cheapest is thirty, the most expensive two hundred."
"Which is the thirty-dollar one?"
"This one."
The owner pointed to a bicycle with a severely rusted frame.
Jiang Xu tried it out.
Apart from the worn exterior, the performance was fine.
He could buy some paint to give it a facelift.
Nuonuo, the little girl, didn't have her bike.
It was often inconvenient.
And since all her classmates had bikes, Jiang Xu wanted her to have one too.
But Jiang Xu didn't buy it right away.
He shook his head and said he needed to think about it.
He'd decide after school let out in the afternoon.
When he got to the classroom.
Jiang Xu spotted An Nuonuo right away.
She was quietly reading a book.
Zhou Qingyue and Cheng Fei were just one minute behind Jiang Xu.
Cheng Fei was really going all out now.
He was always escorting Zhou Qingyue, helping her get food, buying water, showing concern, buying gifts, and so on.
Cheng Fei's efforts made him seem like he was trying to outdo the master.
Jiang Xu felt quite relieved to see that.
When Zhou Qingyue saw Jiang Xu, her fists instinctively clenched.
She wanted to confront him about why he had unfriended her right away.
But she held back.
With so many people watching, didn't she care about saving face?
But Jiang Xu didn't even notice her.
As soon as he sat down, he placed the breakfast he brought for An Nuonuo in front of her: "Eat."
An Nuonuo looked up, then shook her head: "I can't, I can't eat your food every day."
Even though she was indeed enjoying it.
But she couldn't just spend Jiang Xu's money every day.
Jiang Xu said with a smile: "This breakfast isn't for free, I need your help with something."
"What?"
Jiang Xu: "Isn't it my turn to clean today?
I need to go to the internet cafe for a bit.
You help me clean, and consider this breakfast as payment."
An Nuonuo said in a low voice: "You don't have to buy me breakfast, I'm willing to help you clean anyway."
Jiang Xu suddenly leaned in close.
At such a close distance.
He could see the fine fuzz on the girl's face, her flawless beauty.
A pleasant scent tickled his nose.
"What... what are you doing?"
Facing Jiang Xu's sudden approach, An Nuonuo instinctively backed away.
Jiang Xu said with a cheeky smile, "Why would you help me without wanting anything in return? Do you like me?"
"I... I don't... I just..."
An Nuonuo suddenly stuttered, not knowing how to explain herself.
"Alright, eat quick, the breakfast is going to be cold, we're settled on this now."
Jiang Xu stopped teasing her.
Otherwise, this little girl would probably start steaming from her ears.
Jiang Xu sounded a bit dictatorial.
An Nuonuo didn't dare refuse anymore.
She picked up her breakfast and started eating.
Huh, why did the meat bun taste a bit sweet?
After the first class.
Zhou Qingyue walked up to Jiang Xu and said coldly, "Jiang Xu, come out. I have something to tell you!"
