Chapter 3636 [Update 2]
Jiang Xi quietly reminded the boy: "Didn't you see that she is a young lady?"
The boy was over 1.7 meters tall, with black hair growing on the corners of his lips, which made him look mature.
He then moved his eyes from the braised pork to the young lady serving the food, and his face suddenly turned red with embarrassment. "Sister...sister, one portion of braised pork." After taking the rice bowl for serving the food, he ran away.
The people behind him saw it and hurriedly followed Jiang Xi and shouted: "Little...sister, one portion of braised pork." The word "little" was said very softly, as if it could not be said out loud. After getting the food he served, he immediately ran away with a red face.
They usually only stared at the meat, so how could they notice any young lady? At this time, after being reminded by someone, they realized that the chef serving the food was only a few years older than them.
The female student behind also blushed, because she usually called her "Auntie". When she heard Jiang Xi's whispered reminder to the boy, she noticed the young lady's age and followed her and shouted: "Sister, give me a portion of braised pork too."
Because the people in front took the lead, when they got to the back, they all started to call her "Sister".
Teacher Liu's lover couldn't help but smile, but said modestly: "It's nothing, I'm a few years older than you, you can call me sister or aunt."
If you ignore her unhappiness when she was called "Auntie" and the smile on her face when she was called sister now.
Jiang Xi couldn't help but sigh, high school students these days are so pure, they only have braised pork in their eyes, not sisters.
Sisters and the like, how can they smell as good as braised pork.
Just as she was about to return to Xu Xiuli and the others' table, someone suddenly waved vigorously at the back of the cafeteria: "Sister! Sister! Come here!"
Jiang Xi didn't realize that he was calling her, and she subconsciously looked towards the source of the voice, and saw her second brother holding his best friend's arm, wishing he could stay three feet away from him to show that he didn't know him.
Jiang Xi couldn't help laughing when she saw an acquaintance, and waved to Tong Jingang.
Although they didn't know each other now, in the past life, as her second brother's best friend, he often went to the Jiang family. Whenever her second brother had something to do, he would run around, and he would ride a motorcycle to the Jiang family to celebrate the New Year.
Jiang Xi was no stranger to him.
Jiang Xi just waved to them and didn't go over.
He Xiaofang, who had been paying attention to her, was surprised when she saw it. In order to prevent students from falling in love early, the school even implemented gender separation in the cafeteria. The three rows of tables on the left were for girls, and the three rows of tables on the right were for boys.
She only got rice, not vegetables, so she quickly returned to her seat and asked Jiang Xi, "Is that your brother?" She turned around to look at the dark-skinned Tong Jingang, the leader of the boys' area, and then looked at the thin and small white-skinned Jiang Xi, "You and your brother don't look alike at all."
Jiang Xi: "...The one next to him is my brother."
Unfortunately, she was blocked by the dark and strong senior, and He Xiaofang didn't see what Jiang Xi's brother looked like.
When Xu Xiuli came back, He Xiaofang couldn't help but asked Xu Xiuli in a boastful way: "Did you know that Xiaoxiao has a brother who is also in No. 1 Middle School?"
Xu Xiuli said: "Yes, her brother sent her to the dormitory on the first day of school."
He Xiaofang, who failed to show off, was boasted back: ...
Xu Xiuli was completely unaware of He Xiaofang's little thoughts, and took out the soybean stewed chicken nuggets she brought from home to share with everyone. Everyone was too embarrassed to take the chicken nuggets, so they just scooped some soybeans to eat.
Jiang Xiao was not polite, but just shared his braised pork with everyone.
Xu Xiuli accepted it calmly, but He Xiaofang and the other girl were a little embarrassed.
Like Jiang Wu, He Xiaofang eats dried radishes brought from home all year round, and only occasionally buys two taels of cauliflower. If it weren't for the hot weather, she would have wanted to eat the cauliflower in two meals. Jiang
Wu had already eaten so much braised pork on Friday night, how could she have the nerve to continue eating? She waved her hand and said no, no, another girl also took out the dishes she brought from home to share with everyone.
He Xiaofang saw that the dishes brought by everyone, although the bottom was salted like hers, but there were more or less salty vegetables on top, she lowered her head a little embarrassedly and ate quietly.
After eating, she didn't leave, and waited until Jiang Wu finished eating, and then several people went to the sink to wash the dishes together.
She hesitated several times and wanted to help Jiang Xi wash the dishes, but she saw that Jiang Xi was calm and skillful in washing the rice bowl, and he didn't want her to help him at all. She swallowed her words and followed Jiang Xi closely.
She was tall and well-developed. Xu Xiuli was only a little taller than Jiang Xi. When they walked side by side, she followed them disappointedly until she saw Xu Xiuli had to fetch water and finally separated from them. Then she became happy, walked forward and took Jiang Xi's arm, and tilted her face slightly to Jiang Xi's head, as if they were leaning against each other, and her teeth were exposed when she smiled. When she
arrived at the classroom, she looked at the seats of Jiang Xi and Xu Xiuli, and she wanted to sit with Jiang Xi too.
Why did she have to grow so tall? She thought with some regret.
She sat in the sixth row of the first group, far behind Jiang Xi.
Girls' friendships on campus were very simple. If they had a good relationship, they would go to the bathroom together after class and eat together after school. Originally, she did this with Xu Xiuli, but now there was He Xiaofang. Originally,
Xu Xiuli and Jiang Xi were just ordinary roommates and deskmates, but after He Xiaofang joined in, it seemed that the relationship between Xu Xiuli and Jiang Xi improved.
Xu Xiuli always had the illusion that He Xiaofang was trying to steal Jiang Xi from her, and Jiang Xi's tolerance of He Xiaofang made Xu Xiuli, who thought she knew Jiang Xi first and had the best relationship with him, a little jealous. When she saw He Xiaofang trying to steal Jiang Xi from her, she also tried to steal her.
Jiang Xi, who was watching their little thoughts and actions, just thought, my god, girls are so cute! He Xiaofang and Xu Xiuli are both cute in their own ways. Even when Xu Xiuli was jealous and showed her temper to Jiang Xi, Jiang Xi thought: "Oh, how can the little girl be so cute?" She looked at their laughing eyes full of tolerance and doting.
She was a person who couldn't help but praise others when she saw their advantages, but Xu Xiuli was a proud person who said no but actually liked others' compliments. Not to mention He Xiaofang, who was often shy when Jiang Xi praised her. She doubted whether she was really as good as Jiang Xi said, but she couldn't help wanting to hear more of Jiang Xi's affirmation of her.
With Jiang Wu's repeated affirmations, she gradually straightened her slightly hunched chest and raised her head which always liked to be lowered.
Jiang Wu said that her body was very nice, healthy and beautiful, and she didn't need to pretend to be hunched and hide her well-developed body. She looked best when she raised her head and chest with confidence.
She was still not confident, but she couldn't help but act in a way that Jiang Wu liked and admired.
Xu Xiuli was watching the two people's interaction quietly. She couldn't appreciate He Xiaofang's behavior and thought that He Xiaofang was not right in the head.
Being close to He Xiaofang was actually stressful. The way He Xiaofang liked someone was to keep doing things for you.
When your kettle was empty, she would get you some water. When she saw your shoes were dirty, she would brush them. When she saw your dirty clothes that had not been washed, she would wash them for you. When she saw the floor in front of your bed was dirty, she would clean the whole dormitory until it was shiny. Then she would look at you with hopeful eyes like a dog, with eyes full of: please praise, please praise, please praise.
If you praise her, she may do more next time, as if you are leading her in the wrong direction. If you don't praise her, she will look at you with such humble and pleading eyes. Who can bear not to praise such a girl?
Jiang Xi felt very embarrassed and had to take care of her in study and other aspects. The more you take care of her, the better she will be to you, and she will be happy to do it.
If you don't let her do it, she will think you don't like her, and look at you sadly with a pair of black innocent dog eyes, not knowing if she has done something wrong.
Jiang Xi sighed and had to tell her: "Even between good friends, we are independent individuals. You don't need to do these things for me." There is no need to please anyone, "Do you understand?"
He Xiaofang didn't understand. She pressed her plump body against Jiang Xi and held her arm and acted coquettishly: "But I didn't do anything." She was a little sad, "Xi Xi, do you dislike me?"
"No, you are really very good, I like you very much, I just hope you treat yourself better and love yourself more." He Xiaofang couldn't hear the latter words at all. She only heard "I like you very much", and she was so happy that she wanted to pick up Jiang Xi and spin around twice to tell Jiang Xi that she liked her too.
She hoped that she could be Jiang Xi's best friend, a better friend than Jiang Xi and Xu Xiuli.
Unconsciously, He Xiaofang, Jiang Xi, and Xu Xiuli formed a trio that went in and out together. This trio used Jiang Xi as a bridge. Both of them had a good relationship with Jiang Xi, but their relationship with each other was very ordinary.
Xu Xiuli really couldn't understand He Xiaofang's always trying to please her and her way of thinking that always competed with her for favor. He Xiaofang also thought that Xu Xiuli was a little coquettish and petty.
But they both liked Jiang Xi.
They ate together, went to the bathroom together, ran together in the morning, recited together, practiced exercises together, studied together, and went to the bathroom to wash up together after returning from self-study in the evening.
Xu Xiuli was not used to taking a bath together with others, but He Xiaofang always stuck to Jiang Xiao, even taking a bath with her, which made Xu Xiuli feel threatened. When she saw He Xiaofang carrying a water bottle and running to the bathroom beside Jiang Xiao, she couldn't help but pick up the water bottle and follow her: "Wait for me!"
He Xiaofang and Xu Xiuli had grown into girls, but Jiang Xiao's body had just begun to develop, with a flat front and a flat back. He Xiaofang was jealous and couldn't help but praise Jiang Xiao: "Xing Xiao, you have a great figure!"
"Xing Xiao, you are so white!"
"Xing Xiao, you are so thin!"
"Xingxi, I wish I could be like you!"
She was laughed at by the boys in her class in junior high school because her body was too well developed. She was very self-conscious about her body and always wanted to hide her body unconsciously.
In her eyes, everything about Jiang Xi was good.
"Don't." Jiang Xi was full of rejection by her praise: "I haven't started to develop yet. I will grow to be 1.68 meters tall. What's good about a child's body? It's so weak." She was tired of being beaten by Jiang's mother like a chicken but unable to resist. Looking at He Xiaofang, she said: "I like a healthy and strong body." She couldn't help but compliment him again: "Like you, it's good."
He Xiaofang's figure is really perfect, tall and strong, plump, full of the health and strength of women.
Jiang Xi told her that she was beautiful, her body was beautiful, and that it was not her fault that she was laughed at, but that the boys who laughed at her were uncultured and uneducated.
What should she do if she likes Jiang Xi so much?
Xu Xiuli, who was completely ignored by He Xiaofang, said: …
Xu Xiuli felt that He Xiaofang's cerebellum seemed to be underdeveloped, and there was something wrong with it, and she looked a little silly.
This was also shown when the three of them studied together.
Xu Xiuli and Jiang Xi are quick to understand. After listening to a question once, they immediately understand it. Even if they don’t understand, they can understand it immediately after listening to the instructions of the people around them. However, He Xiaofang may have to explain it to her several times before she suddenly realizes: “Oh~~~ I understand.” But
Xu Xiuli is skeptical about whether she understands it or not, because for the same type of question, if she changes a few data or a different way of answering, she will not understand it again.
Among the three, Xu Xiuli has the best overall score, but He Xiaofang never asks Xu Xiuli if she has any questions that she doesn’t understand. She only asks Jiang Xi, and Jiang Xi will patiently answer her questions.
In the process of explaining the questions to He Xiaofang, Jiang Xi found that his understanding of the questions was also deepening.
Xu Xiuli had absolutely no patience for He Xiaofang, and she didn't understand why Jiang Wu, who seemed to be very cold to people and things, was so patient with He Xiaofang.
A week later, Jiang Wu received the publishing contract from the publishing house. With the help of Wang Yong, Jiang Wu added a few supplementary clauses to the contract and negotiated with the publishing house by email. Wang Yong then printed the new contract, and after Jiang Wu signed it, he helped to mail it out. After the stamp was stamped, he mailed it back to her. Another week passed.
The sixth and seventh issues of "Wuxia" were also published, and the market response was still enthusiastic, but the total sales were just over three million. If they wanted to increase their sales, they had to open up a larger market. The markets in Nanshi, Shanghai, and Guangzhou were already saturated, and now they were just waiting for the publisher to print the first volume of "Da Song" and put it into the northern market to test the waters.
Jiang Xi didn't care about these things, as long as she got the royalties.
For her now, getting real money was more reliable than anything else.
It had been almost a month since the start of school, and the monthly exam that all the freshmen in the first year of high school were looking forward to had finally arrived.
Why were they looking forward to it so much? After all, in order to wipe out Class 3, they had been working hard for a whole month, and the swords in their hands had long been thirsty.
