Chapter 21

Saturday, library.

The results of the joint entrance examination did not come out so quickly, but seeing Jiang Xu's depressed look after the English test, He Jin knew that it must not be very good.

This time, it seemed like he was finally hit hard. Jiang Xu chose a quiet place and prepared to fight English to the death.

In fact, Jiang Xu was not that obsessed with English originally. She just wanted to spend more time with He Jin through English tutoring.

But unexpectedly, He Jin was really serious about it. He didn't know where he found the time to get the real college entrance examination questions and did them one by one. He chose reading and cloze. He didn't understand the reading part, and he was completely bad at the other. Jiang Xu felt like he was about to lose his hair. In the end, it was not a question of how many mistakes he made, but how many he could get right.

This may be another reason why she doesn't like studying English, and it doesn't give her any self-confidence.

Jiang Xu was in such a miserable state, she felt like she had dug a big hole for herself and had to jump in, because her beautiful daughter was waiting for her right there.

The two of them found a place with few people and sat down. He Jin saw the little girl supporting her chin listlessly, gently pulling him with her injured hand, her fingers hooked, and he didn't know what she was thinking about.

He Jin said, "Did you bring the joint exam papers?"

“…I brought it.” Upon hearing this, Jiang Xu suddenly straightened his back and looked over with bright eyes.

Huh? No need to take the test?

She quickly took out the test paper from her bag and spread it on the table. She blinked as she watched him flipping through the test paper. She felt something was wrong, but her joy was quickly dispelled by the joy of not having to do the real test paper.

It's over.

If you do not do well in the exam and are not serious, your crime will be even more serious.

He Jin looked at the test paper. He had done the first two reading passages very carefully. There were traces of crossing out in the passages, and the options were marked as wrong and excluded.

Then I turned to the next page. The most eye-catching thing was the side face sandwiched in the blank space in the middle of the test paper. Before I could take a closer look, a hand suddenly covered it, and the other hand seemed to be pulling the test paper.

Unfortunately, the top is covered and there is also the bottom, a very vivid cat emoticon package "【love eyes.】"

Jiang Xu: ...This seems to make things even more obvious.

"Right-handed?" He Jin stared at the kitten for a long moment, then smiled and commented, "You could go into art."

"...Hmm..." Jiang Xu sighed and resigned herself to her fate, lowering her hand. She didn't know if her delicate girl was laughing out of anger or if she was genuinely laughing...

Without the obstruction, the sloppy yet highly recognizable profile was revealed.

The boy's profile is angular, with some sloping eyebrows and eyes. He lowers his eyes to look at the question. His nose is high, and further down, especially his thin lips, are painted in a particularly sexy way.

"I just...used it for a little while, so my hands wouldn't get tired..." Seeing He Jin remained silent for a long time, Jiang Xu twisted her fingers, like a child who had done something wrong and was waiting to be criticized. Her voice became softer and softer, until it was almost inaudible. "It's just...English reading is too difficult, and you're just too pretty. I don't...want to do it anymore, so...just..."

He Jin took another look at the article. It was almost a page long, and there was not a trace of it left. Even the options for the questions at the back were not marked. It seemed that he had just filled in the answer sheet directly.

He didn't know whether to be angry or laugh for a moment. Looking at the aggrieved look on the little girl's face, he finally sighed helplessly, "It's my fault."

"Brother Jin, don't be angry. I will be serious next time... next time... Hey." Jiang Xu pointed at his fingers, looking as if he was seriously admitting his mistake.

Before he could finish his words, the stool was suddenly hooked forward, and the whole person and the stool were trapped in the middle by He Jin. He didn't react for a moment what this posture was. Jiang Xu was still in a daze, looking at the face so close to him, and his eyes glanced at his lips again.

Wait, that’s not right, this is the wrong occasion!

? !

As if he could tell what she was thinking, He Jin hooked his arm around the girl's waist and slid close to her ear. His voice was a little hoarse, bewitching, "They can't see it from here, and the surveillance cameras can't see it either."

“…”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jiang Xu's mind exploded, and a tingling numbness shot through her body. What a contrast! She couldn't handle it at all!!!

Seeing the girl standing there in a daze, her eyes unblinking, He Jin curled his lips with a mischievous smile, his eyes darkened, his warm breath sprayed on her ears, and his voice was low and intoxicating when he laughed.

The air conditioner was on in the library, and the windows were covered with a layer of fog. Jiang Xu felt very hot, so hot that he felt like he was sweating all over.

The next second, Jiang Xu closed her eyes and was about to pout when her forehead was tapped lightly. She immediately opened her eyes and covered the place where she was tapped.

"You didn't take the test seriously, huh?"

Jiang Xu is so embarrassed, so this is what he wanted to do, how abominable!

Seeing the girl frown, He Jin pushed her chair back and said, "Sit down and let's get started."

Jiang Xu was unhappy and whined, but he had no choice but to admit defeat.

He Jin spent the entire afternoon in the library, translating the reading word by word, picking out the new words, and explaining their parts of speech and usage one by one. The test paper was filled with words.

Jiang Xu lay on the side and listened. Although it was a bit boring, he still remembered to listen carefully. At least he didn't fall asleep.

When she finished packing her things and left the library, it was already dark. Jiang Yuanshan and Yu Jin let her do whatever she wanted, and Jiang Xu herself knew her limits, so they generally didn't care who she went with or where she went or what she did, as long as she returned home safely and went to bed at night. It just so happened that they were at home today, so little Jiang You naturally had no excuse to urge her to go back.

The two walked to a snack street. It was crowded at that time, and Jiang Xu had the intention of eating all over the street. He looked at every store and bought some of the delicious food.

He Jin held her hand with one hand, afraid that she would wander off, and in the other hand he held several bags, all of which she had bought.

Jiang Xu ate with one hand covered in oil as he passed the food to He Jin's mouth: "Brother Jin, brother Jin, eat this, this is delicious."

Before He Jin could say anything, the octopus leg that was about to reach his mouth was stuffed back into Jiang Xu's mouth. Then she muttered to herself, "Oh, I forgot you don't like spicy food. But this pepper only looks spicy, it's not really that spicy."

Before he could even swallow the food in his mouth, Jiang Xu started running again, pulling He Jin with him, muttering as he ran, "Brother Jin, I want to eat that. Come on, come on, this is the last portion."

He Jin usually doesn't talk much, but Jiang Xu can carry a whole show by herself. She says whatever she thinks and doesn't need him to answer. She talks all the way and drags him along all the way.

After finally walking out of the food street, Jiang Xu still hadn't stopped commenting on the food, telling him which ones were delicious and which ones were not spicy. He Jin was afraid that she would get tired and hungry from talking, so he handed her some food from the bag from time to time.

Jiang Xu didn't care what was at her lips. Her cheeks were stuffed with food, but it didn't affect her speaking speed at all.

The two walked along the road and unknowingly arrived at the gate of the community. Just as they were about to cross the road, an untimely voice came from behind them, "Hey, Master He finally brought his girlfriend back."

Jiang Xu was taking a bite of a skewer of mutton when his mind raced. The voice seemed to be that of He Yu who had disappeared for a long time.

Jiang Xu thought about it and was not in a good mood. She chewed her food quickly and wanted to turn around and confront him, but her neck was gently pressed. He Jin didn't seem to want to pay attention to him and just put his arm around her and walked away.

He Yu uttered a "tsk" sound and quickened his pace. He reached out to pull He Jin, but suddenly turned around and tugged at Jiang Xu's loose ponytail. The rubber band was pulled down directly, leaving her long hair loose. He Yu played with the rubber band in his hand and said playfully, "Hey, beautiful girl, it's so boring for you to follow him. You might as well follow me. I guarantee you'll be able to walk sideways in school."

He Jin protected Jiang Xu and stopped her behind him, his eyes filled with endless coldness: "You want to die?"

Jiang Xu frowned, then he saw clearly the group of people opposite him. They were all wearing thin coats as if they were not afraid of the cold, holding a cigarette in their mouths, and walking arm in arm. There were strange things tattooed on the back of their hands. They were not the people from last time, nor were they students. They looked like hooligans in society. They were cruel and rotten to the core. They just needed to have a tattoo on their faces saying "I am the boss of society. If you know what's good for you, keep your head down when talking to me."

No wonder I feel so confident today. It turns out I have found the right person in advance.

"Haven't you stayed in that place long enough?" He Jin raised his eyelids as if he was looking at a dead object. The aura around him was frighteningly cold. The atmosphere between the two of them dropped to freezing point. The big men behind them also noticed it, and their momentum became even more intimidating.

He Yu, whose pain had been touched, immediately erupted: "Fuck your mother, you're just like that woman, a lowly bastard. One day I will take all your things back. You're relying on the old man now, but I don't know who you can rely on in the future."

He would never go to that kind of hellish place again even if he died.

He Jin tightened his grip on the bag, his knuckles turning white, and his eyes were filled with suppressed emotions.

Suddenly, his hand was held by a soft hand, and it gradually warmed up, though a little oily.

"Can you speak properly? If you can't, you'll be sitting at the same table with the dog." Jiang Xu took a step forward and was about to argue with him.

He Yu was not given any room to refute.

He Jin lowered his eyes and looked at the girl standing in front of him. The dead silence in his eyes suddenly surged up. He held her hand back and brought her closer.

"Hey beauty, don't always speak for him. Who knows what he thinks of you and what you can get from him. But today, for your sake, let's have a good talk." He Yu was not annoyed. His smile made people feel uncomfortable. No one knew what he was up to.

Jiang Xu was furious: "Who wants to talk to you nicely? Why don't you take a good look in the mirror? I told you my mom won't let me hang out with ugly people. Spend some money on plastic surgery before you talk to me."

"Also, don't always look for someone to teach you how to behave. If you really can't, go back to first grade and start over. My brother is even better at calculating his own weight than you are."

She turned around and pulled He Jin away.

He Yu had no intention of causing any trouble today. When he saw the two men leaving, he said "tsk" but didn't stop them. He had a long plan and he didn't believe that He Jin could come up with anything else, so he left with the group of people behind him.
