"Junyu, what are you thinking about?"
"Hmm?" Huo Junyu composed himself, pulled himself out of his thoughts, and ruffled her hair. "Nothing."
Did you hear what I just said?
The man paused, his bewildered face clearly stating, "No."
Jiang Mianmian smiled helplessly and repeated, "I said, can you please not let my classmates know about your identity?"
"oh……"
"Mainly, I'm afraid of causing you unnecessary trouble..."
Jiang Mianmian turned her face away, seemingly nonchalant, her voice as soft as a mosquito's hum.
What does "unnecessary trouble" mean?
In short, if the female classmates knew Huo Junyu's identity, they would definitely flock to him like crazy.
Even Aunt Niu's daughter had a crush on Huo Junyu back then, didn't she?
It would be better to let him maintain the image of a poor boy!
Jiang Mianmian pouted, and Huo Junyu saw through her little thoughts, gently hugged her, and held her in his arms again.
"Don't worry, the things you're worried about will definitely not happen."
"What are you saying..."
Huo Junyu pressed his forehead against hers, smiled slightly, and said in a deep voice, "I'll listen to whatever you say."

The next day, Jiang Mianmian received a message in the school's group chat.
Han Li accepted gifts from students in private, which had a very bad influence and caused serious damage to the school's reputation. Therefore, she was dismissed from the teaching profession and will never be allowed to work in this profession again.
The rich kids in the group who were usually bullied by her but dared not resist and had given her a lot of gifts all sent a joyful emoji.
However, due to the lack of a supervising teacher, the team had to end their study tour early.
Upon returning to Jiangzhou, Su Aiqian was overjoyed and almost set off a string of firecrackers to greet Huo Junyu.
"Oh, Xiao Huo, you're finally back!" she said, pulling him towards the supermarket. "You don't know, these past two days you've been gone and our shelves have been a mess! Also, when the goods arrived, your uncle couldn't move them. Xiao Wei was in class at the time, so he had to struggle to carry those boxes down... And now, he's twisted his back again! By the way, you treated him very well last time, could you treat him again this time?"
"Xiao Huo, hurry back after you're done at the supermarket. I haven't taught you how to make braised pork knuckle with rock sugar yet!"
"Oh, right, Xiao Huo, after you finish organizing the shelves, could you also clean up a bit? It's covered in a layer of dust..."
"Little Huo..."
"Mom, are you ever going to stop?!" Jiang Mianmian stamped her feet anxiously. "He just got back, can't you let him rest for a bit?"
"Rest? What do you mean, 'rest'?" Su Aiqian stared wide-eyed. "How could such a small amount of work tire him out?"
"mom!"
It was one thing not knowing Huo Junyu's identity before, but now that they know he is the eldest son of the Huo family, they naturally have to be more careful.
But Su Ai didn't know that.
She still treated Xiao Huo as the same Xiao Huo she used to know, and as the son-in-law she wanted to train.
"Mianmian, it's alright." Huo Junyu smiled gently, enjoying himself. "I'll go to the store now. I'll be done by noon. The truck won't be here until the afternoon, so it won't delay our sales."
Su Aiqian beamed upon hearing this, patted Huo Junyu on the shoulder, and looked at Jiang Mianmian, "See? When it really matters, we still have to rely on my son-in-law!"
Huo Junyu pursed his lips and strode out of the alleyway.
Jiang Mianmian looked at his broad back and felt a warmth in her heart. She smiled and looked up again, then turned around and glared at her mother.
"Don't order him around anymore!"
"What's wrong with you, girl?" Su Aiqian rolled her eyes at him. "I'm just teaching him a lesson!"
“Men, you have to keep them in check all the time, especially someone like Xiao Huo… He’s going to be our son-in-law in the future, so don’t be too nice to him now, you have to set rules for him!”
Despite saying she was going to set rules, Su Aiqian still tied on her apron and quickly went into the kitchen to make braised pork ribs for Huo Junyu.
Jiang Mianmian smiled helplessly. Since she didn't have any classes in the afternoon, she took advantage of her mother's inattention and secretly slipped out of the house, running towards the small supermarket.
Huo Junyu had finished organizing most of the shelves when he suddenly saw someone bouncing in with their little head bobbing, holding two cups of milk tea in their hands.
He frowned: "Why are you drinking this saccharin-flavored stuff again?"
After saying that, he took the mango pomelo sago from her and sipped it in big gulps.
It's often said that women are two-faced, but when men's actions speak louder than words, the degree to which they contradict themselves can be astonishing.
Jiang Mianmian sat to the side, resting her chin on her hand, drinking milk tea while watching him work.
Look at his T-shirt, slightly soaked with sweat, clinging to his body; look at the definition of his biceps when he raises his arm.
His every move exuded a captivating masculine charm.
Jiang Mianmian's face flushed, and she quickly suppressed the erotic thoughts that were swirling in her mind.
“By the way, Mianmian,” Huo Junyu turned to look at her, “my younger brother is also in Jiangzhou. I’ll bring him to see you another day.”
"Your younger brother?"
"Yes, to be precise, his girlfriend too!"
Jiang Mianmian chuckled softly, "Then I need to take good care of my skin before meeting them! I can't embarrass you then."
Huo Junyu walked up to her, leaned forward slowly, and said, "I think it's fine. There's no need to dress up."
"My skin has always been a bit sensitive, especially my body... Ever since the surgery, I've often felt discomfort in that area!"
"Surgery?" Huo Junyu was taken aback. "What kind of surgery? What illness have you had before?"
"It's not that I'm sick!"
What is that?
"yes……"
Jiang Mianmian suddenly stopped.
If I told him that she had surgery to remove the birthmark on her waist, what would he think?
If I say anything more, what if I accidentally let slip that the beauty mark on my face was done with plastic surgery? What would he think then?
These are all cosmetic surgeries. Isn't it said that some men dislike women who have had cosmetic surgery?
Besides, that area is on the waist, a very private place, how could you just say it so casually!
Jiang Mianmian swallowed hard, swallowing back the words that were about to come out.
"It's nothing, it's all in the past, no need to ask!"
"Mianmian!"
"I'm perfectly fine now!" Jiang Mianmian glanced at him. "Alright, let's not talk about this! When are we going to meet your brother?"
