Jiang Xu had read that passage in his previous life from a bloggerâs page.
At the time, due to the circumstances around him, he remembered this passage very vividly.
Now, using it to show off in front of An Nuonuo was just perfect.
The sparkling stars in An Nuonuoâs eyes showed that her admiration for Jiang Xu had reached a new level.
âBrother, youâre so awesomeâ¦â An Nuonuo muttered to herself.
Jiang Xu, with a composed demeanor, said, âNot really. Itâs just a spontaneous thought.â
In reality, he deeply enjoyed the admiring gaze of the school beauty, An Nuonuo.
He felt quite smug.
After a while, Fu Yanjie called, asking him if he wanted to hang out.
Jiang Xu decisively declined.
Who had time to entertain him at such a time?
They frolicked outside until nearly midnight, finally leisurely walking home. âBy the way, are you visiting relatives on the second day of the New Year?â Jiang Xu asked.
âNo.â An Nuonuo shook her head: âWeâve lost touch with many relatives at home.â
Jiang Xu then understood.
He remembered that An Nuonuoâs family was previously very poor and in debt. Most of their relatives didnât want to associate with them, fearing they would borrow money.
âWhat about you? Are you going back to your hometown?â An Nuonuo looked at Jiang Xu.
âIâm not going back. I still have to work tomorrow. Of course, Iâll be staying with you. My parents can go back on their own.â
The young girl smiled, âGreat, what would you like to eat tomorrow? Iâll cook for you.â
âI donât mind, I like anything you cook, butâ¦â Jiang Xuâs tone changed, âI am looking forward to the day when I can serve you a cream cake.â Ah, can you make cakes?â An Nuonuo asked in surprise.
Jiang Xu smirked: âThis cream cake is not that cream cake.â
An Nuonuo:â???â
Neither of them had the habit of staying up late.
They returned home after midnight, washed up and went to bed.
The sounds of fireworks and firecrackers outside were incessant.
Jiang Xu managed to fall asleep despite the noise.
In the middle of the night, he was woken up by a phone call.
It was Jiang Xiaoyan who had called.
âgaigai, Happy New Year.â
Jiang Xu didnât know whether to laugh or cry: âStop babbling, and speak properly.â
Jiang Xiaoyanâs tone changed, and the voice became low: âIs this how you talk to me? Kneel down!â
Jiang Xu:â⦠Arenât you going home for the New Year?â
âNot going back, Iâm having a lot of fun here. Why donât you come and join?
The foreign girls here, their figures are all top-notch.â
Jiang Xu chatted with her off and on.
They talked for several hours before he finally hung up.
He yawned and fell asleep instantly.
The next day when he woke up and turned on his phone, he received a bunch of New Year greetings.
Jiang Xu replied to all of them.
In the end, only the message from Zhou Qingyue was left.
âHappy New Year, this must be the first time I am sending you a greeting right? Iâm still filming.
You might remember that at this time in past years, youâd be waiting for me at
my house with presents and red envelopes.â
Jiang Xu returned her greeting of Happy New Year, and then deleted the text.
Things from the past had long turned to the next chapter in his heart.
For Jiang Xu now, Zhou Qingyue was nothing more than a coworker.
Replying the message was merely a polite gesture.
Although it was a New Year celebration, having been given a second chance at life, Jiang Xu knew what he wanted.
So, he was still devotedly typing and studying.
With An Nuonuoâs calm personality, she too was quite patient.
On the morning of the second day of the New Year, Jiang Xuâs parents went back to their hometown.
On the third day, Fu Yanjie came for a visit with Zhang Yuanyuan, bringing lots of food.
Jiang Xu smiled as he took the items from Fu Yanjieâs hand, âItâs good that the stuff arrived, but why are you here?â
Fu Yanjie silently showed Jiang Xu his middle finger.
In the dead of winter, stir-fried dishes could quickly become cold.
So everyone decided to have a barbecue.
An Nuonuo and Zhang Yuanyuan were responsible for skewering the meat.
Jiang Xu was setting up the stove while asking Fu Yanjie to open the window. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
You needed proper ventilation when doing indoor charcoal grilling, or there would be serious problems.
Once everything was ready, Jiang Xu started by placing a few honey-coated wings on the grill.
âDing Dongâ¦â
The doorbell rang.
An Nuonuo went to open the door.
Sister Xiaoxian, how come you are here?â
âHello, are you surprised, is it unexpected?â
As soon as Lin Xiaoxian entered she stretched out her arms, intending to hug An Nuonuo.
Nuonuo, aware of Xiaoxianâs ulterior motives, naturally wouldnât let her succeed.
She slightly sidestepped to avoid her, saying apologetically, âSister Xiaoxian, I was just preparing food, Iâm all greasy.â
âAlright.â Lin Xiaoxian was a bit disappointed, but didnât show it too obviously.
Then she walked into the room, smiling and greeting everyone else.
Jiang Xu was very puzzled, âIsnât your home over in Magic City, why did you come over here during the New Year?â
In her heart, Lin Xiaoxian wanted to say it was because she was thinking about his girlfriend.
But she said, âNo, I came here to visit relatives with my family yesterday.
Since you guys are here, I swung by, you donât mind, do you?â
Jiang Xu laughed, âWelcome, most welcome, sit down quickly, letâs have a meal together.â
âAh, you guys are having a barbecue. I love barbecues.â
Lin Xiaoxian rubbed her hands together and quickly sat next to An Nuonuo.
An Nuonuo:
Just as they were about to start eating, An Nuonuoâs phone rang again.
âHello, Zhou? Oh, alright, then you come over, Iâll send you the address.â After ending the call, An Nuonuo looked at Jiang Xu and said, âZhou is back, her family has gone visiting relatives.
She doesnât have anything to eat now, so she wants to come overâ¦â
Jiang Xu was a bit speechless.
What kind of day is this that everyone is coming over here.
You really canât believe a word of that woman, Zhou Qingyue.
She said she wouldnât be back on the first day of the lunar new year because she was filming.
But in two days she had come back.
Indeed, all women are pigs trotters.
Pah!
Faced with An Nuonuoâs somewhat pleading eyes, Jiang Xu couldnât help but agree.
Only then did An Nuonuo reveal a smile and begin to send a message.
Fu Yanjie and Zhang Yuanyuan exchanged glances.
The relationship between them was so complicated.
Fu Yanjie leaned toward Jiang Xuâs ear.
In a voice only the two of them could hear, he said, âHave you heard the song âLaterâ?â
Jiang Xu didnât know why he was asking this, but he nodded.
âHehe.â Fu Yanjie laughed mischievously, then said, âI saw an interview with
Fei Yuqing about Liu Ruoyin.
If the two of them were walking on the street and saw her ex, what should they call him?â
Jiang Xu: âMr. So-and-so or ex-husband.â
âWrong, the ex-husband should be called âan advanced personâ.â
â???â Jiang Xu was stunned, then he understood, âSoâ¦the current one is âlaterâ?â âHeheheâ¦â Fu Yanjie kept laughing foolishly.
No wonder he was referred to as the Grand Master of the Dirty Jokes; when he started, he was both fast and steady.
Jiang Xu couldnât help but quietly hum, âLater, I finally understood through my
tears that some people, once poked, never narrow downâ¦.â
