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

Chapter 16

“Coming face to face with you, makes me feel a stirring, Beibei, oh…

The first time a duck turns into like me…

Beibei, it’s all because of the clay sister…

A second glance will cause an explosion…”

The entire class: “???”

Music teacher: “???”

What on earth is being sung here?

“Cough, cough.” Jiang Xu coughed: “Nothing, just a joke with you all.

Now, now let’s sing a serious song for everyone, the one ‘You at the Same Desk’.”

An Nuonuo’s petite body shivered slightly.

“The one who can’t guess the problem…”

“The overly sentimental and sensitive you…”

Speaking of natural conditions like vocal ability, Jiang Xu indeed couldn’t be compared to Cheng Fei.

But he was more emotional, and the moment he started singing, he captured everyone’s attention.

Involuntarily, they were drawn into the ambience created by his voice.

Mist appeared in Zhou Qingyue’s eyes.

She remembered when Jiang Xu had been good to her.

He would give her his umbrella on rainy days, then walk home in the rain himself.

On her chore day, he never allowed her to do the task.

He would always clean the blackboard and sweep the floor.

Jiang Xu used to say, a girl’s hands shouldn’t do these tasks.

And there were many more…

He would place her favorite drink on the table whenever she was thirsty, he didn’t even wait for her to ask.

During her period, he would thoughtfully prepare hot water and stuff.

Thinking back now, Jiang Xu was so gentle, he treated her so well.

And she, she never cared about Jiang Xu.

She often gave him a hard time and embarrassed him in public.

Her heart ached faintly.

Zhou Qingyue realized that she had been too harsh on Jiang Xu in the past.

But still.

Was Jiang Xu completely blameless?

She is a girl after all, even if she made a mistake, she didn’t deserve such treatment.

Hmph, I won’t take the initiative to apologize.

The song came to an end.

After a brief silence, a round of enthusiastic applause followed.

Cheng Fei sighed, admitting that when it came to this song, he couldn’t compete with Jiang Xu.

Ah, what misery to be born Cheng when Jiang exists!

Snowflakes drifting, chilly north wind…

The music teacher also clapped: “Well done, Jiang Xu sang well. I’m rewarding you with the task of fetching water for me.”

Jiang Xu: “Thank you, sir.”

The classmates: “Hahaha.”

After class.

Fu Yanjie rushed to Jiang Xu, eyes filled with tears: “I didn’t expect that you have deep feelings for me.

Sniff, I am truly touched.”

Jiang Xu: “What?”

Fu Yanjie wiped away his tears: “Wasn’t that song you sang for me?

To commemorate our nearly year-long companionship as class desk mates.

You really touched me too much, buddy.

Come, let’s go to the snack bar, my treat.”

Jiang Xu: “???”

Jiang Xu kicked him in the butt: “Get lost, you wish.”

Fu Yanjie laughed heartily: “Are you pretending to be coy? Shy, you’re definitely shy.”

Jiang Xu: “…”

He returned to his seat.

Took out a piece of White Rabbit candy and unwrapped it.

Handed it to An Nuonuo: “Eat.”

The little girl, who often skipped meals to save money, occasionally had low blood sugar.

Jiang Xu found out when she was working part-time at his family’s restaurant.

So he always carried a few pieces of candy in his pocket.

“Thank you…” An Nuonuo said in a soft voice.

She was about to take the candy from Jiang Xu’s hand.

Jiang Xu pulled his hand away: “No, open your mouth, let me feed you.”

“No need, I can eat it myself.”

“Your hand is dirty from the pencil, hurry up, don’t make me beg you.”

“Oh, okay.”

Eventually, An Nuonuo couldn’t resist Jiang Xu any longer.

She obediently opened her cherry lips and swallowed another candy.

Even though her face was beet red, making her feel shy, she also felt an unprecedented happiness.

Also.

The candy was so sweet, the kind of sweetness that went straight to the heart.

Fu Yanjie leaned over, “I want one too.”

Jiang Xu stuffed a candy wrapper in his mouth.

Fu Yanjie spat it out.

With a look of grievance, he said, “Jiang Xu, you’re playing favorites now.”

Jiang Xu’s forehead was covered in black lines.

An Nuonuo covered her mouth and chuckled lightly on the side.

Such days were truly nice.

After school let out at noon.

An Nuonuo said to Jiang Xu, “Shall I treat you to lunch today?”

“Sure,” Jiang Xu agreed instantly, “You’ve made so much money these past few days, you should treat me to a feast.”

An Nuonuo laughed happily,

She really enjoyed spending time with Jiang Xu.

He didn’t pity her because she came from a poor family,

Instead, he always treated her as an equal.

Moreover, he was very considerate and attentive to others’ emotions.

“Why did you suddenly invite him to dinner? I want to be invited too,” Fu Yanjie joined in.

“What the hell do you want?” Jiang Xu gave him a kick.

Fu Yanjie rubbed his butt, looking wronged, “Jiang Xu, now you’ve found someone new and forgotten your old friend, haven’t you?

Have you forgotten all the things you promised me before?”

A few passing classmates heard their conversation and stared at them with horrified expressions.

Some girls had the flame of gossip burning in their eyes.

Jiang Xu raised his fist, “Fu Yanjie, I’m going to kill you today!”

“Ah, save me!”

They reached the dining hall amidst all the ruckus.

There weren’t many people yet.

They took a hidden shortcut, known to only a few people.

Jiang Xu approached a window with no queue.

“Sister, can I have a fried chicken wing, a steamed egg, stir-fried greens, and stir-fried pork with wood ear?” he asked.

“Oh It’s Jiang Xu, okay, let me serve you extra.”

The lady serving the food gave a cheerful laugh seeing Jiang Xu.

This boy was such a charmer.

He called every woman he met “sister,” regardless of her age.

All the ladies serving food loved him.

Every time, they gave him the largest portion, and the best pieces.

Standing behind, An Nuonuo envied Jiang Xu’s strong social skills.

After she got hers,

Jiang Xu also took An Nuonuo’s lunchbox.

Seeing this, the cafeteria lady’s eyes lit up,”It’s the first time I’ve seen you bring a girl to get lunch. Is she your girlfriend? She’s so adorable.”

Jiang Xu neither admitted nor denied it,

Instead, he smiled and asked, “Do we look like a couple?”

“Of course, anyone would think you two are a couple at first glance.

A handsome boy and a beautiful girl, a match made in heaven.”

An Nuonuo had already buried her head deep in her chest.

But with her head down, she couldn’t see her tiptoes.

Just this point alone put her ahead of ninety-nine percent of other girls.

Jiang Xu gave the cafeteria lady a covert thumbs up.

Then he led An Nuonuo away.

Jiang Xu had long predicted that An Nuonuo would want to treat him to lunch as a way of saying thank you.

So after the first class,

He had run to the dining hall alone.

Bought a few drinks for the ladies,

And asked them for a favor.

If he ever brought a girl to get lunch that day or any other day,

They had to say that they looked like a couple, they had a couple’s aura and so on.

All this was Jiang Xu’s strategy.

The naïve and pure An Nuonuo wasn’t even aware that she had been set up.
