Chapter 24

At four o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun was just setting, everyone got on the school bus and headed home.

We were noisy and had fun all day. We didn't feel tired at all. Instead, we were very excited. There are many activities in college, free time, and no endless tests.

Everyone discussed their experiences and looked forward to having such a colorful university life.

Lu Xun tilted his head to look out the window. Through the car window glass he could see the girl’s sleeping profile, peaceful and beautiful.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the steadily moving school bus. The surrounding sounds automatically faded away. He stared at it for a long time until he heard someone shouting "We're here" and "Get off the bus."

Jiang Qiao was sleeping soundly, and he didn't know what he was dreaming about. He smacked his lips and muttered something indistinctly.

Lu Xun moved closer and heard clearly the girl's sticky voice calling his name: "Lu Xun..."

Lu Xun was stunned, and before his eyes could soften, he heard the girl continue to say, "Damn it."

Lu Xun: “……………………”

Jiang Qiao was startled by someone slapping her forehead. She looked around in confusion, wondering who was attacking her. There was no one around her. She only saw a tall figure getting out of the car.

From the back, you can seem to see the anger.

Hmm, is it an illusion, or did I take the photo accidentally?

She rubbed her forehead which still felt a slight pain, and got out of the car slowly, feeling confused.

There is no evening self-study today. The students living on campus have returned to the dormitories, and other students have also gone home one after another.

A valuable black car was parked on the roadside not far from the school gate, attracting many people to watch. Lu Xun subconsciously turned his head to look over.

Jiang Qiao walked over with his schoolbag on his back. The driver got out of the car and opened the door. Jiang Qiao accepted such meticulous care as a matter of course and got into the car slowly.

The black car started and soon disappeared from sight.

"Wow, that's Jiang Qiao's car," someone was surprised, "I remember it wasn't this one last time, but they were all luxury cars."

"Do you think Miss Jiang is just a joke? She is a real rich girl."

"Hahahaha, that's right. If anyone can become the son-in-law of the Jiang family, not to mention saving ten years of hard work, he won't have to struggle for the rest of his life..."

Lu Xun listened to the sarcastic voices of the people around him, his expression did not change, and his drooping eyelashes hid the emotions in his eyes.

For a moment, he thought of the bread they shared that night, the blown-out "candle", the roses that never fell, and the eye contact that made him lose his breath.

Lu Xun couldn't lie to himself, his heartbeat was far more honest than his reason.

However, the distance from the luxurious villa area to the old alleys was too far. He had been there and knew how difficult it was.

The love expressed by young girls is always exaggerated, and Jiang Qiao's love is even more illusory and unreal.

What you can't get is the moon in the sky, and what you get is a worthless white plate.

Lu Xun knew clearly that letting Jiang Qiao get what he wanted would be the beginning of his loss.

Lu Xun stood at the busy school gate for a long time until the teacher called him, then he slowly took steps forward.

On New Year's Day, the first and second grade students prepared programs in advance and celebrated the holiday together in the auditorium, while the third grade students who were busy with their studies just had a simple gathering in their class.

Day students are not required to participate, but boarding students try to have fun by blowing balloons and hanging streamers in the classroom, determined to create a festive atmosphere.

Lu Xun is tall and is responsible for hanging balloons and ribbons high up.

The weather was particularly cold today. He didn't check the weather forecast and went out wearing the same clothes as yesterday.

Now I just feel a dry and sore throat, which is a symptom of a cold.

He endured the discomfort and took the balloon to hang it on the ceiling. He heard someone shouting at the door: "Xueba, someone is looking for you!"

Who will come to him?

A light figure flashed through Lu Xun's mind, and the next second he walked out quickly.

After leaving the teaching building and being blown by the cold night wind, he came to his senses and felt that his inexplicable expectations were ridiculous.

During the holidays, students who can go home will spend the holidays with their families.

At this moment, Jiang Qiao was leaning against the pillar in front of the teaching building to block the wind.

The Jiang family has few relatives this generation, most of whom are distant relatives who come to establish a relationship. They are the kind that have nothing to do with each other. They gather together and say hypocritical flattering words.

She finally managed to sneak out of the Jiang family's family gathering. She walked on the road, and the trees on the roadside were hung with festive lights. The family walked past her happily, talking and laughing. The whole city was decorated with lights.

Jiang Qiao suddenly felt bored. He walked and walked without knowing where he was. When he looked up again, he found himself standing at the school gate.

The security guard recognized her and knew that she was a student of the school, so he let her in.

Standing at the bottom of the teaching building, she regretted it. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she was seen by several classmates who were returning from the school canteen. They asked her in confusion why she came back.

Jiang Qiao escaped and said, "Looking for someone."

The classmate suddenly realized: "Student bully?"

"I'll go and call for you!"

His enthusiastic attitude left Jiang Qiao no chance to refuse.

After waiting for a while, she saw Lu Xun coming down.

He is really a young man, full of hot temper. He wears so little in such cold weather, Jiang Qiao sighed.

She hid her face in her thick down jacket and trotted over.

From a distance, Lu Xun saw a round white ball "rolling" towards him, accompanied by a voice: "Lu Xun..."

Seeing the little red face from the cold, Lu Xun was stunned.

Jiang Qiao…………

"What are you doing—" He had only said half of his words when a white ball suddenly hit his arms. Lu Xun's pupils shrank and his heart skipped a beat.

“……………………”

"It's so cold!" Jiang Qiao didn't notice his loss of composure, hiding in his arms, complaining coquettishly: "Why are you wearing so little? Aren't you cold? I'm wearing so much and I'm still cold."

Jiang Qiao kept getting into Lu Xun's arms and taking advantage of him. Hmm, I don't know what kind of laundry detergent Lu Xun uses, it smells really good, much better than perfume.

She also wanted to have the same one, Jiang Qiao was thinking about asking later,

The soft ball in his arms just rushed towards him, making his chilled body slowly warm up. Lu Xun raised his hand to push it away, but it froze in mid-air.

After a while, he put it beside him as if resigned to his fate: "...It's not cold."

Didn't push her away? Did he change his personality?

Jiang Qiao's eyes rolled around, and she raised half of her face in his arms, smiling with her big, clear eyes: "You are so amazing~"

Flirting in general.

Lu Xun's fingers on his side were stiff: "What nonsense."

"That's nonsense~" Jiang Qiao said with a smile: "Lu Xun, are you shy?"

The more she talked, the more outrageous it became. Lu Xun pretended to push her away and said, "Shut up."
