"Teacher, this is too unfair! You gave the best food to Yueyue, and you even tied it with a bow! What if Yueyue's husband gets jealous if he sees this?"
Xu Moxiang glanced at the pastries in Jiang Yue's hand and teased her with a smile.
She was just joking, but Luo Xiao was stunned. He quickly looked at the pastries in Jiang Yue's hand, and then at the pastries in Yao Hua's and Xu Moxiang's hands. "This... I really didn't know that the knots tied on the pastry packaging were different?"
He seemed genuinely unaware.
Xu Moxiang was a little embarrassed. She was just joking, but she didn't expect Teacher Luo to take it seriously.
"Teacher Luo probably doesn't buy snacks often, which is why she didn't notice these," Xu Moxiang quickly said, trying to ease the awkwardness.
Luo Xiao nodded shyly, "I don't like sweets, so I've never bought any pastries, and I really haven't paid attention to them."
"Teacher Luo, Xiangxiang was just joking with you, you don't need to take it to heart."
Jiang Yue opened the pastry box and was surprised to find a hard cardboard box inside. Inside the cardboard box were cream puffs.
"What's this?"
Yao Hua looked curiously at the cream puffs in the box.
She had never seen such a dessert before.
Xu Moxiang looked at the cream puffs in the box with some curiosity.
Luo Xiao explained with a smile, "The owner said this is called a cream puff, and it's filled with cream. It's made using a method his daughter brought back from abroad. Today is the first day it's sold, and it's called something like Western pastry."
I don't know anything about these things, but it looked interesting, and I thought little girls might like it, so I ordered one.
After hearing Luo Xiao's words, the students gathered around were all filled with curiosity about the cream puff. Someone couldn't help but urge Jiang Yue, "Jiang Yue, why don't you try this cream puff and see if it's delicious?"
If it's delicious, I'll buy some tomorrow too.
"Yes, yes, Jiang Yue, you should try it."
They also wanted to try what the pastry tasted like, but since it was given to Jiang Yue by the teacher, they were too embarrassed to ask Jiang Yue for some.
With so many people watching and urging her, Jiang Yue simply couldn't refuse.
She picked up a cream puff, took a small bite to reveal the cream inside, then her eyes lit up, and she nodded to everyone, "Delicious."
After saying that, she picked up the snack box and handed it to Luo Xiao: "Teacher Luo, you should try some too."
"This is food I brought for you."
"Our teacher gave us food, so we should give back to our teacher. Please have one, it's really delicious."
Jiang Yue looked at Luo Xiao expectantly.
"Okay then, I'll have one too."
Luo Xiao smiled, took a cream puff, took a bite, and then nodded, "The cream is very sweet, but not greasy. The taste is really good."
Seeing that Luo Xiao had eaten, Jiang Yue handed the cream puffs to everyone present, saying, "Everyone, please try some too. Teacher Luo bought these for us. You must all listen to Teacher Luo from now on."
Xu Moxiang took a cream puff and, upon hearing Jiang Yue's words, immediately chimed in, "Yes, Teacher Luo is so kind to us. We will definitely study hard, listen to Teacher Luo, and improve our grades to repay her."
"I'll remember what you said. If your grades don't improve next time, see how I deal with you."
Luo Xiao smiled at everyone, then turned and left.
It wasn't time for class yet, so as soon as Luo Xiao left, everyone went back to their seats to share snacks.
After everyone left, Yao Hua took out her share of the pastries and placed it in front of Jiang Yue, saying, "Yueyue, you've already shared your cream puffs with everyone, so have mine."
"I ate a bit too much during dinner, and now I've eaten a cream puff, so I really can't eat anymore."
Jiang Yue looked at the pastries in front of her and shook her head. "Hua Hua, let's take them home to eat."
"OK."
Yao Hua nodded without any hesitation. She always listened to Jiang Yue and didn't think much of it.
Xu Moxiang originally wanted to share her share with Jiang Yue and Yao Hua, but after hearing Jiang Yue's words, she quietly took her share back.
"Yueyue!"
Xu Moxiang sat in the back and reached out to poke Jiang Yue.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Yue turned to look at Xu Moxiang.
Xu Moxiang looked at Jiang Yue, and after thinking about the news she had heard in the past two days, she hesitated for a while before saying, "Yueyue, do you know that Su Chen is dead?"
"He's dead?"
Jiang Yue really didn't know about this.
How did he die?
"You don't know?"
Judging from Jiang Yue's reaction, Xu Moxiang could confirm that Jiang Yue really didn't know about this matter. "I heard it was a suicide."
suicide?
Jiang Yue suddenly remembered that Su Ning had stopped her a couple of days ago. At that time, Su Ning seemed to have said that Su Chen was very ill and seemed to be dying.
She originally intended to tell Lu Jingnian about this.
Later, I got too busy and forgot about it.
"How did you hear that he committed suicide?" Jiang Yue asked Xu Moxiang.
Xu Moxiang said, "The place where he and Su Ning live is not far from my home. Do you remember? I met a drunkard before, and he helped me once. He was very kind to take me home for those few days. But I really don't get along with his sister. We almost got into a fight several times. So I stopped asking him to take me home."
"After Su Chen's accident, Su Ning kept causing trouble in our area. She would light incense and mutter incoherently on the road late at night, saying that she was guiding her brother's soul. She almost gave an old lady who was out for a walk one night a heart attack. Then the news spread around our area. I heard it from the old men and women when I went home."
"Now that you mention it, it dawned on me that we didn't see Su Ning when we came here today."
Jiang Yue frowned when she heard Xu Moxiang say that Su Ning was helping Su Chen guide his soul.
Yao Hua whispered a reminder, "Yueyue, Zhao Lanxi doesn't seem to be here today either."
Xu Moxiang analyzed, "These two people used to have a good relationship. Is it because Su Chen died, and Zhao Lanxi went to comfort Su Ning?"
"It's not impossible."
Yao Hua nodded.
Jiang Yue, however, did not think so. Zhao Lanxi did not seem like the kind of person who would have the audacity to accompany Su Ning. Her previous good relationship with Su Ning was because she could profit from Su Chen.
But now that Su Chen is dead, Su Ning has lost her brother and has become a useless piece of trash. Zhao Lanxi won't waste her time on a piece of trash.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yue reminded Xu Moxiang.
"Xiangxiang, be careful when you go home these next few days. Su Ning is now capable of doing things like summoning her brother's soul; she's probably gone mad."
She always thought I was responsible for her brother's arrest, and now that he's dead, she must hate me terribly. I'm afraid she might hate you because she thinks you and I are close.
