Chapter 33

As school was about to start, Lu Xun noticed that Jiang Qiao was in a bad mood.

I was absent-minded every day and didn't do the questions he asked me seriously.

Once again, during a discussion after dinner, Lu Xun asked several questions, but Jiang Qiao stared at the test paper without responding. Suddenly, Lu Xun put his pen on the wooden table, making a muffled sound.

Jiang Qiao came back to his senses and said loudly, "I wasn't distracted."

As Lu Xun stared at her quietly, she felt guilty and lowered her head: "I'm a little tired today. Can we study tomorrow..."

"What happened?" Lu Xun didn't believe her.

"Nothing..." Jiang Qiao snorted.

What Lu Xun couldn't stand the most was deception. He turned cold and said, "Tell the truth."

He looked like he wanted to get to the bottom of it.

"I...I..." Jiang Qiao closed his eyes, made up his mind, and said: "I don't want to go to school anymore."

Jiang Qiao was speaking from the heart, not intentionally screwing up his character.

She really didn't want to go to school. She was originally dragged to this world to complete a mission. She went to school before because she wanted to be close to Lu Xun. Now she lives in Lu Xun's house and the plot has changed. There is no need for her to go to school anymore.

What's more, going to school requires tuition and living expenses, and eating is also a problem. Lu Xun can barely make ends meet by himself, and he has to support her...

Jiang Qiao lowered her eyes. Her long eyelashes prevented Lu Xun from seeing her true thoughts. He just felt that she had fallen into her old habit of not striving for progress and only pursuing pleasure.

"If you don't go to school, what can you do in the future?" Lu Xun said.

Jiang Qiao could hear the suppressed anger in his tone, so he simply added fuel to the fire and said, "You can support me, just like you do now."

“……………………”

This was the first time that someone had asked Lu Xun to raise her. If Jiang Qiao's words were heard by others, any normal person would advise Lu Xun to kick her out immediately.

They take things for granted, but fail to see how hard it is for others, like a leech.

How real can this kind of love be?

The silence in the air was tightening around people’s chests, becoming increasingly suffocating. After a while, Lu Xun said, “No.”

After saying that, he turned and walked out without caring how surprised the girl was.

He was never an impulsive person and always thought about the consequences of everything he did. Since he had let Jiang Qiao live in his house, he had made the decision to support Jiang Qiao for the rest of his life.

However, his raising was not the same as Jiang Qiao's raising.

He wanted Jiang Qiao to be like an ordinary child, study, go to college, and do a job he liked. He didn't have to be very smart, but at least he had to be able to protect himself and live a good life without him.

A person's life is very long, and no one can guarantee that he will always be by Jiang Qiao's side. He hopes that Jiang Qiao can be happy even without him.

Lu Xun also has selfish motives. It would be nice for Jiang Qiao to be a little loser who depends on him all his life, but he hopes that Jiang Qiao stays with him because she likes him, not because he can provide a safe haven.

Lu Xun made up his mind. In the next few days, no matter how Jiang Qiao acted like a spoiled brat or even lost her temper, Lu Xun did not give in.

On the first day of school, Jiang Qiao finally went to school with him.

She sat on the back of Lu Xun's bicycle, irritated and unwilling to support his waist. Her little head bumped against Lu Xun's waist.

When they were still a few hundred meters away from the school, Lu Xun stopped and asked Jiang Qiao to get off and walk there by himself.

What's wrong with taking her a little further? Why are you so stingy?

Jiang Qiao was furious: "Why!"

Lu Xun glanced at her but said nothing, then rode away on his bike.

Jiang Qiao who was thrown away: “……………………”

Ahhhh! Jiang Qiao threw a series of chaotic punches silently.

What do you mean by like? Haha, she and 166 were both wrong. Lu Xun didn’t like her that much!

Jiang Qiao was holding onto the strap of his schoolbag, walking towards the school with his head down and looking dejected. From a distance he heard someone calling him, accompanied by heavy breathing from running.

"Jiang Qiao! Where have you been for the past month, you damn kid? Do you know how many times I called you? You are so cruel!"

The girl kept talking like a machine gun, but if you listened carefully, you could hear her voice sounding a bit like crying.

Jiang Qiao rarely felt guilty. She hurriedly tried to pull at Ye Qingqing's school uniform: "You, don't cry."

“Who’s crying!”

"Okay, okay, you didn't cry, I was the one crying, okay?"

Jiang Qiao is very patient when it comes to coaxing girls, after all, most of her previous fans were female.

Ye Qingqing didn't want to show her sadness in front of this heartless man. She held back her tears and said, "Why do you have to cry? It's not you who was unilaterally cut off from you."

No, when did she say she was breaking up? Jiang Qiao had a headache: "Qingqing, I didn't mean that..."

"Then why did you ignore me when I called and texted you?" Girls are sensitive. Ye Qingqing took a deep breath and said, "Do you think that I will no longer consider you a friend because you are no longer the eldest daughter of the Jiang family?"

"In your heart, am I, Ye Qingqing, such a snob?"

Jiang Qiao really didn't expect that she could think of this. At this moment, his understanding of Ye Qingqing was no longer superficial.

She seemed to understand why Ye Qingqing was so devoted to helping "Jiang Qiao" in the original text.

To others, "Jiang Qiao" is a vicious female supporting role and an arrogant and domineering eldest daughter, but to Ye Qingqing, "Jiang Qiao" is just her good friend.

Jiang Qiao was filled with mixed feelings, and finally Ye Qingqing was no longer so angry after pulling her aside. The two of them walked to the classroom together.

Ye Qingqing was still frowning, but suddenly she thought of something and frowned, "Where have you been living these days? Do you have any money on you?"

"I live in—" Jiang Qiao's voice stopped abruptly. She realized something and faced Ye Qingqing's puzzled look. She changed her words abruptly: "I live in a hotel."

"Oh, oh, oh." Ye Qingqing did not doubt him and asked, "Is the money enough? I have some money on me. I'll transfer it to you later. You can use it first."

Jiang Qiao shook his head guiltily: "No, I have enough money. If I don't have enough, I will definitely not be polite to you."

Ye Qingqing's expression finally relaxed.

Jiang Qiao also felt relieved, but at the same time, an indescribable bitterness surged in his heart.

She also blamed Lu Xun for being stingy, but in fact Lu Xun did it for her.

The Jiang family's affairs were widely spread, and she became a homeless poor girl. If someone saw her coming to school with Lu Xun, it would probably spread that they were living together.

There will be no shortage of more unpleasant words.

Although nothing happened between her and Lu Xun, others would not believe it. How could it be possible for a single man and a single woman to live together without anything happening?

When this matter got out, she would be the one most affected because she is a girl.

well……………

This saw-mouthed gourd, can't you just say it directly?

If she wasn't smart, Lu Xun, the man without a mouth, would have to take the blame alone!

To like someone is to make her a better person!
