43 Chapter 43: There's No Way, He's Given Way Too Much

Back home, everything was taken care of.

At eight o'clock, Jiang Xu typed away for another two hours.

Then he sent all the fifty-five thousand words he had written these past few days to Lin Nan.

Inside a single apartment in the capital city.

A scream was heard.

Someone had sent over fifty thousand words in one go, completely overwhelming this beauty assistant editor.

The next day.

Jiang Xu set off a few minutes early, arriving at An Nuonuo's doorstep.

There he saw her feeding her sheep in the yard.

Did this young girl always rise so early?

Looking at the girl's figure from behind, Jiang Xu stroked his chin and pondered, "The sheep this family is raising must be delicious to eat..."

"Ah, why are you here?"

Just as An Nuonuo turned around, she saw Jiang Xu at the front of the yard.

She was startled.

Jiang Xu chuckled, "I woke up a bit early today.

Don't mind me, go on with your business, there's still plenty of time."

"I'm done, just a moment."

An Nuonuo washed her hands, then, with her backpack on her back and bike in hand, she came out.

Unlike before, the young girl was no longer hunched over.

Her whole demeanor seemed much more confident.

Upon reaching the mutton noodle shop, there were already quite a few people there.

Even standing at the stall outside, one could smell the rich aroma.

Jiang Xu shouted at the boss, "Two large bowls of mutton noodles, lots of mutton, less noodles."

"Oh, it's you, you rascal!" the boss laughed and scolded, "Why don't you just have me give you a bowlful of mutton?"

Jiang Xu, "I wouldn't mind that."

Shopkeeper, "Beat it!"

The two of them found a seat.

An Nuonuo asked, "Are you familiar with the boss?"

"So-so, we used to play chess together.

But he's not too good at it, he always likes to cheat.

One time he got so frantic after losing, he even wanted to call me big brother.

Begging me to let him win one game."

An Nuonuo laughed behind her hand.

Ding dong, two full bowls of mutton noodles were served.

The boss glared at Jiang Xu with a sullen expression, "Stop bluffing, kid. I play chess very well.

Every time, don't I always beat you until you lose horribly, crying for mercy?"

Jiang Xu originally wanted to expose him.

However, seeing the amount of mutton on both bowls of noodles was at least half more than other customers.

He immediately grinned and said, "Yes yes yes, the boss is unparalleled. I was talking nonsense just now."

Carpe diem, he had given them too much.

"Hmph, as long as you know," the boss was satisfied.

Then he looked at An Nuonuo and said, "Little girl, this kid is bringing a girl here for the first time.

Although his face is a bit thick.

His personality is a bit shameless, a bit lecherous, and he's not as handsome as me, he does have some good points.

He's not bad as a boyfriend."

"Boss, you misunderstood. We're just friends," An Nuonuo hurriedly explained.

"I see, I know." The boss had an I've-seen-it-all look on his face.

An Nuonuo got upset.

An Nuonuo was just about to explain further when the boss already went off to greet other customers.

Jiang Xu was grinning inside his heart.

He would definitely not explain such a thing.

Picking up the chili sauce on the table, he opened it.

He poured a bit into An Nuonuo's: "This is the boss's homemade sauce, fragrant and spicy.

Paired with the mutton, once you've tasted it, you'll never forget it."

An Nuonuo picked up a piece of mutton, opened her tender, pink lips and put it in her mouth.

The next second.

"It's delicious," the girl's eyes brightened, "So this is what mutton tastes like."

Her entire life, this was her first time eating mutton.

She immediately fell in love with the flavor.

Jiang Xu smiled slightly, without uttering a word, he continued to eat his meal.

A bowl of spicy yet fragrant mutton noodles.

Drinking both the soup and everything else, his body felt thoroughly awakened.

An Nuonuo was so immersed in eating, she broke out in sweat.

Jiang Xu pulled out a tissue and wiped it off for her.

This slightly intimate gesture made the girl retract her neck.

She looked at him coyly.

Jiang Xu pretended as if nothing had occurred: "Let's go."

"Oh..."

They rode their bikes towards the school.

"Wait, Brother Junyue might be waiting for me there, right?"

Just after they left the noodle stall, An Nuonuo suddenly thought of Jun Yue.

She felt like she had forgotten something since the morning.

Now, she finally remembered.

Jiang Xu: "He's not a three-year old kid. If he doesn't see anyone, he will go on his own.

Will he be waiting there foolishly?

How stupid would he have to be?"

An Nuonuo felt that this made sense.

But the girl did not know.

In fact, for Jun Yue, following this trail took more time.

Meanwhile,

Jun Yue waited at the three-way intersection for a long time, but he didn't see An Nuonuo's silhouette.

This made him more and more anxious.

Because if he didn't leave soon, he would be late.

"Why is Nuonuo so late today? Did she oversleep? No!"

Jun Yue suddenly realized.

An Nuonuo didn't come today.

But that annoying guy who always got ahead of him was also nowhere to be seen.

Jun Yue activated his smart mind.

He quickly figured it out.

Surely it was that shameless Jiang Xu, who didn't know what he said to An Nuonuo.

He had changed the route to the school, making Jun Yue miss them.

After he understood this, Jun Yue was filled with anger.

He roared to the sky: "Jiang Xu, you old thief, we are sworn enemies!"

It was the last day of the final exam that day.

All the teachers were not teaching.

They just kept handing out test papers for you to work on non-stop.

Naturally, the classes went overtime.

However, in the last period of the afternoon, the Biology teacher mercifully let everyone leave on time.

Everyone swarmed out of the classroom.

Fearing that the Biology teacher might change his mind.

That day, Jiang Xu couldn't think of any way to avoid Jun Yue.

However, he was willing to tolerate having him around occasionally.

But what he didn't expect was that Jun Yue didn't show up at the school gate.

At this time, Jun Yue was sitting despondently in the classroom.

The teacher had said.

Class wouldn't end until five and a half.

My Nuonuo, I won't see you again.

If the place had been different.

He even wanted to yell out: God, please stop messing with me.

When he returned home, Jiang Xu was busy until about eight, and then he started to write again.

The final exam was stressful for others, but he didn't care about it much.

After he had worked until ten o'clock and finished another six thousand words,

He saved the manuscript and went to bed on time.

On the other hand, Jun Yue kept tossing and turning and couldn't fall asleep.

Thinking about what had happened the past few days, the more he thought, the angrier he got.

It had been several days since he last saw An Nuonuo.

He was unwilling to go a day without seeing her.

So he made up his mind and set an alarm for five o'clock.

Thinking that no matter how early it was this time, he wouldn't miss her, right?

Once the alarm went off at five o'clock, Jun Yue immediately got up.

He brushed his teeth, washed his face, put on his backpack, and quietly left the house.

He arrived in front of An Nuonuo's house.

Looking at the gate of the yard, he began laughing foolishly.

Then, he squatted in the corner, hugging his knees.

A gust of cold wind blew by, sweeping up the leaves on the ground.

They flew past him.

Jun Yue felt like the leaves had formed two letters.

S! B!
