Chapter 38

What the hell?!

He was just feeling quite pleased earlier.

Trying to use material possessions to make Jiang Xu feel inferior.

But Brother Junyue, who wanted to impress in front of the girl he liked, was dumbfounded on the spot.

Then he saw a downcast An Nuonuo.

Suddenly anger and jealousy surged up all at once.

Brother Junyue looked at Jiang Xu very angrily.

This guy was really hateful.

He actually dug such a large pit for him.

Seeing An Nuonuo looking sad, Brother Junyue panicked on the spot.

He quickly explained, “Nuonuo, I didn’t mean that.

Uh, what I meant was the thought is what counts, no, this watch looks very nice…”

He immediately began to babble incoherently.

Jiang Xu was naturally in a very good mood.

Take that for flaunting around in front of me.

An Nuonuo lifted her head, managing a smile: “It’s okay.

This watch wasn’t worth much anyway, and I can’t afford better ones now.”

Brother Junyue really wanted to slap himself in the face twice.

And felt extremely jealous.

Why did An Nuonuo buy a watch for Jiang Xu?

And why did Jiang Xu deserve a watch given by An Nuonuo?

But then Jiang Xu add another strike, “How can you say that?

This watch is the most precious gift I’ve received.

Even if someone gave me a hundred million, a billion, I wouldn’t sell it.”

Comparing the two, it was clear who was superior.

Junyue nearly burst with anger.

You shouldn’t have been fanning the flames at that time.

This was simply outrageous!

“Nuonuo, it’s not what you think, I didn’t mean to mock you…”

An Nuonuo shook her head: “I know, it’s getting late, I need to go to the classroom. See you later, Brother Junyue.”

Brother Junyue wanted to say something but stopped.

He could only watch as the two walked away side by side.

He wanted to cry but there were no tears.

“Sneaky villain, you’re making me so angry!”

Upon entering the classroom.

As soon as Jiang Xu put down his backpack, Fu Yanjie came over.

He said, “Didn’t you ask me to build a base last time?

My mom has already bought me a villa with two floors above ground and one underground.

It’s fully furnished, and she also bought five top-of-the-line desktop computers.

After the end-of-semester exam on Thursday, we’ll go check it out.”

Wow, good for you!

Jiang Xu was shocked.

I asked you to buy a house, and you just got a three-story villa?

I just want to ask if your mother needs another son?

“Sure, I’ll bring Nuonuo with me at that time.”

Jiang Xu said, purposely lifting his left hand and waving it in front of him.

“Sure.” Fu Yanjie didn’t notice Jiang Xu’s intentions, nodded, “Then we’ll go together.”

After saying that, he was about to return to his seat.

“Hey!” Jiang Xu stopped him, “Didn’t you notice anything different about me?”

Fu Yanjie seemed clueless: “What’s different?”

He waved his left hand in front of him again.

Finally, Fu Yanjie noticed the watch on Jiang Xu’s hand.

“When did you start wearing a watch? I’ve never seen you wear one before.”

Jiang Xu grinned: “How did you know this watch was given to me by Nuonuo?”

Fu Yanjie instantly didn’t want to talk to Jiang Xu anymore.

He silently flipped Jiang Xu off.

Then called him a dog, and returned to his own seat.

Feeling sour.

Damn, why doesn’t any girl give me gifts?

My looks aren’t that bad, with a sort of rogue charm.

After the first class ended, Jiang Xu bolted out.

An Nuonuo sat in her seat.

Reading a book while coughing non-stop.

An Nuonuo’s constitution was slightly weaker than most.

After getting rained on the night before and not drinking any ginger soup or anything similar to dispel the cold,

She was feeling unwell.

Unfortunately, she was completely out of money and had to tough it out.

Coughing non-stop.

An Nuonuo decided to get up and boil some hot water.

At this moment,

Jiang Xu placed a box of 666 cold medicine in front of her, saying, “Take these quickly, so you won’t get worse.”

During class, he had seen her continuously coughing.

He could tell it was serious.

Once class was over, he headed to the school infirmary to buy a box of cold medicine.

Before An Nuonuo could reply, a box of Xiaochaihu granules was placed in front of her.

It was from Jun Yue.

He had noticed something off about An Nuonuo’s voice in the morning,

after much thought, he bought a box of cold medicine and brought it over.

Didn’t a forum on how to woo girls write this?

To help her when she was at her weakest.

Would leave a deep impression in her heart.

So, he hurried over eagerly.

What Jun Yue found particularly irksome was that Jiang Xu had also bought some.

Deliberately opposing me, huh?

Little did he know, Jiang Xu was thinking the same thing.

Why is this guy everywhere? He shadows me no matter where I go!

The classmates, especially the girls,

were looking at An Nuonuo with envy, jealousy, and awe.

They couldn’t figure it out,

why plain, ordinary An Nuonuo, was so popular.

Besides school’s heartthrob Jiang Xu always treating her well,

there was another one now.

And such a handsome guy at that.

Li Honghong’s face didn’t look so good.

She recognized Jun Yue.

And, in fact, she had a long-standing crush on him.

However, Jun Yue outshone like a star in the sky.

Li Honghong, being average in every way,

did not have the courage to approach this exceptional guy.

But now, she saw Jun Yue actively catering to a girl that, in her view, was inferior to her in all areas.

You can imagine her feelings.

Jiang Xu said, “The 666 cold medicine is better.”

Jun Yue was not to be outdone, “Xiaochaihu is a more advanced formula and is gentler.”

Jiang Xu: “Drink mine!”

Jun Yue: “Drink mine!”

An Nuonuo turned her head from Jiang Xu to Jun Yue.

In the end, she opened both boxes of cold medicine.

She tore open a packet and poured it into the water glass.

She said quietly, “Can I drink both kinds? Can you two stop fighting?”

Then she went to fetch water.

Jiang Xu: “…”

Jun Yue: “…”

Jun Yue left.

Although she didn’t just drink the one he brought, he could still accept the outcome.

He hadn’t let Jiang Xu get ahead of him.

At least, that’s how he saw it.

An Nuonuo returned from fetching hot water, her face flushed.

Jiang Xu touched her forehead and found it hot.

So, he advised, “If there’s no improvement after two more classes, take leave. I’ll take you home.”

“No,” An Nuonuo shook her head, “Final exams are coming soon, I need to get good grades.”

Maybe it was because she had been properly nourished lately.

An Nuonuo felt more at ease when studying.

It seemed she might get good grades on her final exams this time.

Jiang Xu said nothing.

But he made up his mind.

If her condition didn’t improve,

he would knock her out and carry her home if necessary.

Luckily, her fever dropped by noon.

Jiang Xu asked her to stay in the classroom while he went to fetch her lunch.

Then, they ate together in the classroom.

Nonchalantly, Jiang Xu asked, “That Brother Junyue of yours, do you like him in a romantic way?”
