Chapter 425: Chapter 391: Xin Yi’s Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage

Jiang Xiao hadn’t even made it back to his own classroom when he was blocked on the way by Wang Qiang and his big-faced cronies.

"Hehehe, Brother Xiao, about dinner, I’m still not full."

"Yeah, you don’t know because you weren’t there, Brother Xiao, but the rice was half-cooked."

"Bro, how about, cough, you treat us to some crispy noodles? I could even call you ’Dad’ if you add a grilled sausage."

Jiang Xiao: ....

"This money is Xiao Xue’s, I can only treat you guys one last time."

"Yay!"

.....

The first day of school.

Tonight’s evening self-study was led by an unforgiving teacher, so before the bell for evening self-study even rang, the atmosphere in the classroom was already tense and subdued.

Jiang Xiao had just sat down, ready to tear open a snack, when he suddenly felt a cold breeze from behind.

He turned his head and couldn’t help frowning.

It was Xin Yi again, coming over for what purpose?

At this moment, her eyes emitted a cold indifference.

"Jiang Xiao, I’m warning you, you’d better not go on a date with Xiao Xue tonight."

Xin Yi’s voice was low and serious, as if each word carried an invisible weight.

Jiang Xiao furrowed his brow. He was confused by Xin Yi’s sudden appearance and warning, but even more so, he was disdainful.

He didn’t believe Xin Yi would threaten him for no reason, and he didn’t think these kids could pose a threat to him, so he retorted.

"Xin Yi, I’m more curious about how you knew the contents of Xiao Xue’s letter. Did you peek at the letter she wrote to me?"

Xin Yi’s face changed; she didn’t expect Jiang Xiao to question her so directly.

She bit her lip, seemingly hesitating whether to reveal the truth, but in the end, she chose to remain silent, only emphasizing again,

"No comment! But I must tell you that if you go tonight, you’ll definitely regret it!"

Jiang Xiao, upon hearing Xin Yi’s words, grew more suspicious, but the corners of his mouth curled into a mocking smile.

"Xin Yi, are you upset because you see me getting close to Xiao Xue? Or is it that you know some secret that you don’t want me to find out?"

Xin Yi’s face grew even uglier. She took a deep breath to suppress the emotions inside her.

"Jiang Xiao, I just don’t want to see you in trouble. Whether you believe it or not is up to you; I’ve done my duty to warn you."

With that, Xin Yi turned and left, leaving a trail of loud footsteps and a perplexed Jiang Xiao behind.

He shook his head, finding Xin Yi’s behavior increasingly inexplicable.

As for Wang Qiang and the others, they were even more unabashed in their mockery of Xin Yi’s behavior.

"Brother Xiao, don’t listen to her, I guess someone is just jealous."

"Tsk, why shouldn’t Brother Xiao be with Xiao Xue? Could it be that some wealthy and powerful second-generation rich kid is plotting something against our Brother Xiao?"

"Exactly, if they’re rich, what can’t they have? This is clearly mutual affection, but someone has to interfere out of jealousy."

But the most poison-tongued was Wang Qiang.

"No, I mean, could it be that someone has a crush on our Brother Xiao? Knowing they can’t compare to Xin Yi in every aspect, are they trying to break up the happy couple?"

Listening to everyone’s mockery, Xin Yi in the front row clenched her fists so tightly that her fingernails dug into her flesh without her noticing.

But just then, the fearsome teacher also arrived.

Perhaps because it was the first day, and the workload for the first year wasn’t too heavy, she simply sat on the podium and let everyone study on their own.

"Great!"

The faces of Wang Qiang and the other rambunctious students brightened; this meant they could whisper among themselves and sneakily enjoy some snacks.

Time quietly passed, and the bell for the end of evening self-study finally rang.

Jiang Xiao packed his books, ready to leave the classroom and head to the meeting place for his date with Xiao Xue.

Although a trace of caution about Xin Yi’s warning lingered in his heart,

But... what he anticipated even more was the upcoming date...

It’s not like I’m head over heels for Xiao Xue.

Although her external conditions are impeccable, we can’t ignore the fact that Xiao Xue is just a junior high school girl at her core.

What I looked forward to more was finding out what a date actually feels like, whether it’s like what they show on TV.

Honestly, for me, dating is like a girl riding in a bridal sedan chair—it was all new.

Sun Wei was different.

With Sun Wei, I jumped straight to sharing a bed, skipping the dating part entirely.

With a light step, Jiang Xiao headed to the school’s auditorium.

Outside the streaming room, Sun Wei stood with a dark expression, not uttering a word, as if the temperature around her had dropped considerably.

The two little ones stood still on her left and right, obedient as henchmen.

...

Which flower bed was it again?

Doesn’t matter, I should be able to see it when I get there.

"Hey?"

Jiang Xiao stopped in his tracks and looked back. It seemed like Xin Yi had followed him?

"Come on, this discipline committee member, did someone remove her brain or what? Is she sick?"

If it weren’t for our being classmates, Jiang Xiao would have gone straight in with a taser.

Just peek, and I won’t even bother with her, Jiang Xiao thought to himself.

There she was.

Probably because she’s wealthy, Xiao Xue wasn’t wearing mourning clothes, but instead, a little white dress that looked all white if you didn’t look closely.

The skirt ended at her calves, revealing a section of soft, pink legs that glistened under the streetlights.

She also carried a delicate little leather bag, obviously an expensive one.

"You’re here!"

Seeing that Jiang Xiao had really shown up for the date, Xiao Xue looked thrilled, trotting over to him.

She also unzipped her little bag and pulled out a thick stack of bills, handing them to Jiang Xiao.

"Here, I was worried you’d be short on money tonight, so I took the cash from my dorm after class. Take these for now, I have more if it’s not enough."

Damn...

The thickness, it must be at least twenty or thirty notes?

Even though I’m not short on money, this sort of—how should I put it—this feeling really satisfied me tremendously.

Seeing that Jiang Xiao had accepted the money, Xiao Xue smiled sweetly and reached out her hand to him.

Uh...

What’s the deal?

All given, and now she wants it back?

Maybe she thinks she gave too much?

After some thought, Jiang Xiao carefully took out one note from the stack and placed it into Xiao Xue’s hand.

It was visibly obvious.

The smile on the face of this rich heiress froze.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiao thought he hadn’t given her enough, so he gritted his teeth and pulled out two more notes and put them into her hand.

"Xiao Xue, you gave me this money willingly. If you’re regretting it now, I’m giving you back three hundred. That’s the epitome of generosity, right?"

Xiao Xue: ...

She wanted to say that she just wanted to hold hands.

What the hell, I regret it, am I short of that little money?!

Annoyed, she stuffed the money back into Jiang Xiao’s hand and took the initiative to hold his hand.

However, her several attempts to "advance" were all subtly deflected by Jiang Xiao.
