Taking advantage of the beauty being poor, fooling her into being my girlfriend

Chapter 22: Chapter 22 Keeping Each Other in Mind

Jiang Xu's words left her with little choice.

An Nuonuo felt that if she refused again, she would be heartless.

So, she had to agree.

However, she resolved to save up some money and give Jiang Xu a gift of similar value when the time came.

Jiang Xu's house wasn't far from An Nuonuo's.

They decided to go to Jiang Xu's house first today.

To place the bicycle they had bought.

Jiang Xu was planning to escort An Nuonuo back home, but the little girl bolted.

She ran into a small alley before turning back.

The bangs on her forehead fluttered in the breeze.

The surroundings seemed to have brightened up considerably.

She waved at Jiang Xu, "No need to escort me, I live close by. You should rest more.

Goodbye, Jiang."

After saying that, she disappeared into the alley.

Jiang Xu couldn't help but laugh, "Called me by 'Jiang' again, I'll deal with you tomorrow."

However, to be fair,

An Nuonuo had become more cheerful compared to before.

Of course, only when she was around him.

Jiang Xu finished his homework first.

Then went to the nearby vegetable market to buy groceries and begin cooking.

Usually, it's the parents who take care of the children.

In his case, however, the child was taking care of the parents.

He was particularly good at showing filial piety.

After the meal was ready, Jiang Xu ate first before taking some to his parents.

Although they ran a restaurant, it was fine eating there too.

However, they couldn't eat seafood daily.

So, most of the time, Jiang Xu was the one cooking and delivering the food.

On his way back, Jiang Xu purchased two small cans of paint from a paint store.

One pink and one blue.

Back home, he began work on transforming the rusted bike.

He used a knife to scrape all the rust off the bicycle.

Then used sandpaper to smooth it clean.

The main part was to be painted pink.

Parts like the frame, wheels, and backseat were to be blue.

After the first coat of paint dried, Jiang Xu sanded the bike for the second time and gave it another coat.

The bike, which initially looked tattered, suddenly looked brand new.

The overall style was vibrant and youthful.

He just needed to buy a bicycle lock tomorrow.

...

After finishing the chores and taking a bath, An Nuonuo retreated to her room and shut the door.

Her room was quite small.

Apart from a bed and a table in her room, it was all she could fit in half the space.

She didn't have a wardrobe.

She wore her school uniform even after bathing, not even a set of own pajamas.

She carefully reached into her bag and pulled out several balls of yarn.

She had bought it on her way home from a store.

She thought, maybe she could knit a sweater for Jian Xu.

She didn't know why, she just wanted to.

It was still summer, she had plenty of time.

She would start with the top first, and if she had time, she would knit the pants.

That would definitely keep him warm in the winter.

With a slight smile on her face, An Nuonuo began to knit.

She had good eyes, she knew Jiang Xu's measurements by heart.

Just a little bigger, she figured, just to be safe.

...

Capital city.

The deputy editor of Story Meeting, Lin Nan.

It was already past seven in the evening, and she was still working overtime.

The position of chief editor was vacant since the person had resigned.

Several deputy editors were eyeing this position now.

To secure the position, one naturally had to have a good quantity of authors and successful works under one's belt.

After Lin Nan read the manuscripts she was working on,

She shook her head and put it aside.

This was the follow-up chapter of an author they had just signed a contract with.

The writing was average and wasn't fit for publication. She decided to contact the author to ask for modifications the following day.

She opened another envelope.

It was a newly signed author, Suisui Anping's "Those Miserable Years of Youth".

The first two chapters had given Lin Nan a stunning visual experience.

That's why she offered such a high price of thirty yuan per thousand words to a newcomer.

Lin Nan began to read attentively.

The story was entirely based on Jiang Xu and Zhou Qingyue, with the addition of some elements.

Well.

In simple terms, it was a story between a loyal dog and a green tea.

However, in this era, loyal dogs were still regarded as deep feelings.

Unconsciously, Lin Nan finished reading.

Her eyes were slightly red.

She couldn't help but think of her own youth, which was a brilliant summer...

Getting off the subject.

Lin Nan composed herself a little bit, and then became excited.

This manuscript was very emotional.

Every word and line revealed a trace of unrequited love and sadness.

It was definitely going to be a hit!

The two submissions added up to seven thousand words.

It could be posted in the serialization column now.

Without delay, Lin Nan posted "Those Miserable Years of Youth".

And, she gave the best position to this story!

"Whether I can be promoted to chief editor or not, depends on you!"

...

"An Nuonuo, are you dating Jiang Xu?"

"How could he like you?"

"Wuu wuu wuu, does this mean I don't stand a chance?"

...

In the morning.

As soon as An Nuonuo came to the classroom, several female classmates ran over.

What they were saying left her confused.

She quickly shook her head, indicating she wasn't.

"Hmph, who would believe that!" Li Honghong sneered: "You two are now sticking together like candy.

If he's not bringing you breakfast, he's accompanying you home.

I just don't understand, what's so good about you? Compared to Zhou Qingyue, you're far behind."

The rumor of the two possibly dating was spread by her.

Her purpose, naturally, was to avenge herself for the slaps she had received from Jiang Xu.

She thought to herself.

This matter would sooner or later reach the class teacher.

By then, not only would the two of them be criticized, they would definitely be separated!

Thinking of this, Li Honghong felt cheerful.

"What are you doing?"

Just when An Nuonuo was panicked and helpless, Jiang Xu arrived.

"Jiang Xu, there's a rumor that you and An Nuonuo are dating, is that true?" A female student asked.

Jiang Xu looked sharply at Li Honghong.

Without guessing, he knew it must have been done by this woman.

Li Honghong's heart fluttered.

But she quickly straightened her back.

What was there to be afraid of?

Could he still dare to hit her in public?

Jiang Xu waved his hand: "There's nothing like that. An Nuonuo is my distant relative, so I take extra care of her."

"Oh, so that's the case."

"Now that you mention it, the two of you do look alike."

The female students surrounding them all left satisfied.

Li Honghong was anxious: "How...how is that possible?"

Jiang Xu didn't even spare her a glance.

With her petty tricks, she was not even worth being his opponent.

With no one paying attention to her, Li Honghong could only sit down in annoyance.

These past two days, Zhou Qingyue seemed like she had become a different person.

She was being silent, studying hard.

She looked quite pale.

"Qingyue, why aren't you talking?" Li Honghong nudged her: "I'm doing this to avenge you."

Zhou Qingyue shook her head: "Don't target him anymore, everything in the past was my fault.

I just want to study hard now."

There was another sentence that she didn't say out loud.

She wasn't planning on giving up on Jiang Xu.

Instead, she was planning to elevate herself.

And then, it was her turn to chase Jiang Xu.

As Zhou Qingyue, I won't lose to anyone in my life. How could I give up so easily?

After school in the afternoon.

Jiang Xu quietly said to An Nuonuo, "Let's go and rent a room."
