Chapter 170

Jodaisy and Joyson were waiting at the platform closest to the entrance to the city.

"I clearly told you that I can take the bus to the old platform by myself. You just need to wait at the platform not far from the run-down street." As soon as Jiang Yunu saw his family, he took the initiative and "complained" that they were not following the agreed procedure.

As soon as Joyson saw her, his eyes lit up, and his gaze was the same color as his hair, like a bright burning fire. He waved his hands in the air again and again, fearing that Jiang Yunu would not see him standing there alone.

"How can I wait until then?" The red-haired boy grinned. "Mom was so excited last night that she couldn't sleep. She simply got up and prepared the food in advance. I even helped knead the dough. I plan to make hot handmade wonton soup as soon as I pick you up tonight!"

The red-haired lady was much more reserved and steady, even though her face was brightened by seeing Jiang Yunu returning home. She waved to Jiang Yunu and beckoned the little girl who had just gotten off the train to her side. The first thing she did was reach out to touch Jiang Yunu's winter school uniform. "Are you wearing enough? Is this your school uniform? It's going to snow in Chat City today, and the material of your clothes seems a bit thin."

Jiang Yunu had opened her arms to embrace her after a long separation, but she didn't expect Aunt Daisy's hand to go straight to the coat fabric on her arm. She was silent for a few seconds: "..."

Then the white-haired girl took the initiative to step forward, shortened the distance, and gave Joe Daisy a warm hug.

"It's not thin." Jiang Yunu said, "The clothes are still very thick, and there are heaters on in the car and at the transfer station. I still feel a little hot."

Qiao Daisi touched her hand and confirmed that the little girl's hand was indeed warm enough, even the palm temperature was a little hot, and then she felt relieved.

But Auntie still said, "There's plenty of heating in the car and in the transfer station, but there's no heating in our city of Chat City. Hurry up and get in the car, we're going home."

Jiang Yunu held Aunt Daisy with one arm and extended his other arm to Qiao Yisen, saying happily, "Go home!"

Before they could even get in the car, Joyson had already fully demonstrated his talkative nature and was talking to Jiang Yunu about the changes in her family and other people in the school during the semester she was away.

And how difficult the final exam he just finished was, and how difficult the lessons Mr. Lei taught them after they were promoted to the second grade this semester.

Jiang Yunu listened to everything with a smile, from before he got on the bus until he finally got on the bus, and then from the time he was on the bus until the three of them arrived home.

She never gets tired of hearing these daily trivia about friends and family.

When asked about Jiang Yunu's recent situation, she talked about her final exams that had just ended, how Houde City was already filled with a festive atmosphere, and the "Challenge Cup" campus competition in which she had just participated in the first round.

"The preliminary round has passed." Jiang Yunu shared the good news with his family. "However, considering that the preliminary round will be the end of the semester, the school has decided to start the second round at the beginning of next semester."

As for the district-level competitions that are still far away during the summer vacation, and the inter-university competitions after the district-level competitions... Anyway, those things are not necessarily 100% related to Jiang Yunu at the moment.

She didn't go that far, keeping the topic focused on the current situation.

"We feel relieved to see that you are doing well in your new school," Aunt Daisy said with relief.

Of course, Jiang Yunu also chose to report good news but not bad news - for example, he had a conflict with a young lady in school within two months and inexplicably became a thorn in the young lady's side. There was no need to tell his family about this.

"Have you made new friends?" Joyson was quite concerned about Jiang Yunu's social status.

Jiang Yunu said: "I did meet him. He's a very low-key classmate."

She briefly introduced Pei Ya to her family, and when Aunt Daisy habitually said, "If you have the chance, you can invite people to come to Chat City to play," she readily agreed and said, "I will definitely invite people to come and play when I have the chance!"

This is a fulfilling and happy New Year.

First day reunited with family.

The next day, Jiang Yunu's schedule was already fully booked in advance - she was going back to Enge Primary School for Special Abilities to see the teachers who were still finishing the last bit of work before the holiday; she was going to meet Zhou Jinxue, spend a day with her senior, and talk about each other's growth and changes this semester.

What is more surprising is that Jiang Yunu even received a call from Xie Shi.

This young master did not make an appointment to meet Jiang Yunu, which means that their relationship might be a little too close.

However, Master Xie also greeted Jiang Yunu online and said awkwardly and cryptically, "Without you this semester, I'm finally the best young player on the school team. The new students and the other sophomores are completely inferior."

Young Master Xie was still as arrogant as ever, and his arrogance concealed his recognition of Jiang Yunu.

Jiang Yunu grinned, "Isn't that great? By the way, I've started playing in the Challenge Cup in the second district. Master, you need to work harder and strive to get promoted so that you can play in the same competition as me!"

Xie Shi snorted coldly and unilaterally hung up Jiang Yunu's phone in advance.

As for whether this young master regretted hanging up the phone... who knows?

When Jiang Yunu and Zhou Jinxu met alone, they were more concerned about the senior's study and daily life.

The senior student told her that because of an accident in the junior inter-school competition in which she also participated, the league was suspended at the beginning, and there was no opportunity to continue it later. So in the end, the organizing committee of the junior league in the seventh district came up with a "nice idea" - the junior league, which was supposed to be held once a year, would combine the unfinished competition of last year with the newly held one this year!

The race schedule has doubled, the number of rounds has doubled, and the total time has doubled!

"Here, the junior league hasn't finished yet, and we have to continue next semester." Senior Zhou couldn't help but sigh when talking about this, and she looked helpless.

When Jiang Yunuo enrolled in Enge, Zhou Jinxue was a third-year student. Now that Jiang Yunuo has finished the first semester of his first year at Golden Uriel, Zhou Jinxue is already a fourth-year student at Enge and the undisputed captain of the Enge school team.

"Then I would like to wish you that you will lead the school team to victory next semester." Jiang Yunu encouraged her sweetly.

Zhou Jinxue sent her a blessing in return: "Keep up the good work in your competition next semester."

The senior student also advised: "But don't push yourself too hard. After all, you are competing with a group of seniors whose average age is older than you."

During this semester at Golden Uriel Academy, few people realized that Jiang Yunu was actually younger than the average age of all the freshmen. Her titles of "the most popular freshman" and "Miss Nagu's chosen rival" were even more eye-catching.

Only when she returned to the Seventh District would her relatives and friends start to treat her as a pure child.

"I will." Jiang Yunu didn't want her senior to worry about her, she promised with a smile.

Winter vacation is both long and short.

It was long enough for Jiang Yunu to meet all the people she had established ties with in the Seventh District, but short enough for her to feel as if she had not been able to stay at home with her family for many days. In a blink of an eye, the New Year celebration was over and the New Year decorations on the street had not been removed, but when she opened the electronic calendar on her personal terminal, she found that there were only a few days left before she returned to school.

With four days left until winter vacation, Jiang Yunu collapsed on the sofa on the first floor of the Qiao family's small building, hugging a pillow and howling, "I have to go to school again!"

Joyson stood behind the sofa and looked at Jiang Yunu, and found all this very new.

"I used to roll around on the sofa like this, grumbling about not wanting school to start," the red-haired boy said. "Why is it your turn now?"

"Because I'm really too far away from home now..."

Jiang Yunu dragged out her voice, not caring at all whether anyone would mind her image at the moment. She kept muttering about how it would take another half a year for her to come back next time, and that she would have to wait another half a year to eat the bed, sofa, and food at home.

"It's okay." Joyson comforted her. "Six months will pass quickly, and the next one is summer vacation. During summer vacation, you will be able to stay at home even longer."

Jiang Yunu fell on the sofa: "Then I will apply for summer vacation now."

Jo Daisy was passing by and when she heard what was said she reached out and tapped the little girl on the forehead.

"Don't be so unrealistic. If you have any sleep talk, go back to bed," Aunt Daisy said rationally. "I'll let you lie there for another thirty minutes. Then you both go change your clothes and pack up. We'll go to the shopping district and buy you some things for school."

Although the subsidies provided by Golden Uriel Academy were not small, the principal must have found other ways to obtain two new sponsorships in the past semester, so that the subsidies and scholarships for the poor special admissions students were paid as usual. However, when she returned home, there was no reason to let Jiang Yunu, a minor, pay for things, and some of her daily necessities were left to Qiao Daisi.

Jiang Yunu only said a few words to Qiao Daisi and then gave up struggling, letting Aunt Daisi enjoy the pleasure of buying things for the children.

After buying some daily necessities, I had two special dinners in Chat City.

Then, it was the day when Jiang Yunu set out to return to Golden Uriel Academy.

"Your school is too far from home now. It's no longer suitable for you to report to school on time like Joyce did." Aunt Daisy and Joyce sent Jiang Yunu back to the platform where she came back.

In order to have flexible schedule, Jiang Yunu had to leave for school two days in advance.

On the platform, the white-haired girl and the red-haired mother and son hugged each other.

She had grown a little taller than the last time she left this platform, and her height was gradually catching up with Joyson.

The height of her hair also gradually increased from less than the chest of Jodie to the shoulder of the tall red-haired lady.

"I will definitely come back during the summer vacation." Jiang Yunu said.

Qiao Daisi gestured at her chin and smiled gently, "How about when you come back next time, try to grow up to your aunt's chin?"

Jiang Yunu said, "Okay, I'll eat four meals a day and a midnight snack after I return to school! I'll try my best to grow taller."

Joyson showed a hint of envy at Jiang Yunu's words.

"Great." The red-haired boy sighed, "You have the kind of physique that won't gain weight at all. All the energy you absorb turns into nutrients for growth. Unlike us ordinary physiques, we're afraid of growing sideways if we eat too much."

Joyson had originally awakened to his "image consciousness" earlier than Jiang Yunu. He had already reached the stage where he was worried about eating too much during adolescence and only gaining weight but not height.

Jiang Yunu was completely unable to sympathize with this kind of distress. She could only make a practical suggestion: "Why don't you try exercising a little more while eating?"

Joyson asked casually, "So what sports do you do at Golden Uriel Academy?"

Jiang Yunu paused for two seconds after hearing this, and then she asked uncertainly: "...Does fighting count?"

The red-haired boy looked at her with an expression that said, "Are you teasing me on purpose?"

Jiang Yunu felt that fighting was extremely energy-consuming and could also strengthen the body.

"Really." Jiang Yunu said, "Besides, I still have three rounds of the Challenge Cup intramural competition waiting for me once the new semester starts."

Thinking about her own road to the start of school, the white-haired girl suddenly felt deeply: ... Maybe eating four meals a day plus a midnight snack is still not enough.

Based on her mental and physical energy consumption, she felt that she could still cram in another snack!
