Chapter 218 Jiang Qi is unhappy [22]
Ah Chu's series of actions stunned his cousins standing nearby.
Even Jiang Menglai stood there dumbfounded, covering his face.
Only Jiang Qi stood behind A Chu, his dark eyes shining.
If the ghost hadn't already stopped having a heartbeat, he would probably still be able to hear his own heartbeat right now...
Achu glared at Jiang Menglai and warned him, "Don't you dare bully Jiang Qi again! Otherwise, you'll be sorry!"
After saying that, she turned around, took Jiang Qi's hand, and left.
Jiang Menglai and a few others remained, their eyes glazed over.
Is this still the Jiang Chaochao they know?!
Jiang Chaochao hates Jiang Qi the most, so why is she protecting him and standing up for him?
How come Jiang Chaochao has changed so much in such a short time?
They couldn't understand it.
Over here, Achu held Jiang Qi's hand for several minutes before letting go of his hand.
"Why are your hands so cold? Are you cold?"
Achu rubbed her hands together and then looked at Jiang Qi's hands.
Jiang Qi also looked down at his hands.
He's not even alive anymore, so of course his hands are cold.
However, it's a bit unusual for a living person's hands to be so cold.
So he tried to warm his body up a bit.
"It's alright, it's not too cold. Sister, feel it again?"
Jiang Qi reached out his hand to A Chu.
Ah Chu touched it and found that it was a little warm.
Although it's still not as good as a normal person's, at least it's not ice cold anymore.
Achu withdrew her hand and looked at Jiang Qi: "Are you stupid? If they were going to hit you, wouldn't you run away? Why are you just standing there like an idiot!"
Jiang Qi loved the feeling of being protected and favored by A Chu, so much so that he never returned from a certain race track.
He lowered his eyes, his handsome face paired with a slightly pitiful tone as he said, "It's okay, I'm used to it."
Achu frowned and corrected him, "You can't get used to it! How can you get used to being bullied!"
"They just think you're an illegitimate child, and that your parents don't care about you! Jiang Qi, maybe I should just..."
Before A-Chu could finish speaking, Jiang Qi covered her mouth.
This is the Jiang family's old residence. What if someone else hears us?
Achu stared wide-eyed at Jiang Qi, who was very close to her because he was covering his mouth.
The two locked eyes.
Achu blinked, and Jiang Qi blinked back.
It wasn't until Achu raised her hand and pulled Jiang Qi's hand away from her mouth that she stopped.
Achu: "Why are you covering my mouth?"
Jiang Qi: "Sister, don't talk about this outside."
Achu nodded: "Okay, let's talk about it when we get back."
As one of the most prestigious families in City A, the Jiang family's birthday banquet was a lively affair, attracting all the prominent and influential people who could afford to attend.
When A Chu was being led by Jiang Mingxuan and Lin Fengyue to greet and exchange pleasantries with others, she also pulled Jiang Qi along.
Jiang Mingxuan and Lin Fengyue saw this but didn't say anything.
So after the birthday banquet, everyone knew that Jiang Qi, the illegitimate son, seemed to be less ostracized by the Jiang family.
Some even speculated that Jiang Mingxuan might actually be grooming him as his successor because he is a son.
Even Lin Fengyue's family members were somewhat worried about this issue and told Lin Fengyue to pay attention to it.
Lin Fengyue smiled and said, "Jiang Mingxuan isn't that clueless."
Lin family member: "Anyway, you should still be careful."
Lin Fengyue accepted her family's concern.
Back at the Jiang family home that evening, Achu called Jiang Qi to her room and continued their conversation from the afternoon at the old house.
Achu: "I think I should return your identity to you."
Jiang Qi sat cross-legged on the carpet, tending to A Chu's blisters caused by wearing a dress and high heels that day.
Hearing Achu's words, he looked up and asked, "Why?"
Ah Chu propped himself up on the edge of the sofa with both hands and said, "You are my parents' biological son. Every time I hear people call you an illegitimate child, I feel very guilty."
Jiang Qi smiled and comforted her, "It's okay, sister, I'm used to it."
If he had known the truth more than a month ago, he would definitely have revealed it.
Even if he had no feelings for Jiang Mingxuan and Lin Fengyue.
But now, all he wants is to be with Achu!
"Besides, now that I have you protecting me, no one will bully me anymore."
Ah Chu frowned, but that was enough to temporarily put the topic aside.
After Grandpa Jiang's birthday banquet, A Chu and Jiang Qi continued their lives as usual.
The only difference is that Jiang Mingxuan and Lin Fengyue are now living in the house.
Jiang Mingxuan would have breakfast with Achu every morning, and then drop her and Jiang Qi off at school on his way to the company.
In the evenings, Lin Fengyue would also have dinner with Achu.
Sometimes she would come directly to the school to pick people up, and then they would eat out.
Of course, Jiang Qi will be taken along as well.
Even though Jiang Qi wasn't left behind, he was still unhappy after a while.
Because he no longer has time to spend alone with Achu!
In the morning there's Jiang Mingxuan, at school there are those classmates who fawn over A Chu, and in the evening there's Lin Fengyue.
Even when he returned home to help A-Chu with her homework, Lin Fengyue would come to his room to check on him from time to time.
As a result, Jiang Qi started coming to A Chu's room every night to watch her sleep.
A week passed in this way, and then the school organized an autumn outing.
Students can sign up and choose the places they want to go.
Of course, it's a choice among several locations provided by the school.
There are rural areas where you can experience farm life, as well as resorts with better environments, zoos, botanical gardens, and amusement parks.
Before A Chu could even make a choice, she received a message from Jiang Qi on her phone.
Jiang Qi: [Sister, which location do you choose? I want to choose the same one as you.]
Achu replied: 【I'm going to choose an amusement park. It's been so long since I've been to one, it'll be perfect for a fun day!】
Jiang Qi: [Okay, then I'll choose the amusement park too.]
So, they both chose the amusement park.
A total of twenty students from the entire senior year chose to go to the amusement park, and two teachers will lead the group.
Achu and Jiang Qi both joined the amusement park's autumn outing group. The teachers would send out notices and contact everyone during free time.
We chose Friday for our autumn outing because it wasn't a holiday, and the amusement park wasn't too crowded.
Students can choose to go on their own or take the school bus from the school gate.
In any case, they need to be at the amusement park entrance at 8:30 in the morning.
Jiang Qi was the one who woke A Chu up today.
Looking at Ah Chu, who was sleeping soundly in bed with her blanket in her arms, Jiang Qi was reluctant to wake her up.
He squatted down by the bed, his gaze never leaving Achu's face.
She lay on her side, half her face pressed against the pillow, making her look chubby and very cute.
Jiang Qi wanted to reach out and poke it.
By the time he realized what was happening, his fingertip had already poked Chu's face.
It was soft and bouncy, even better than he had imagined.
Jiang Qi couldn't resist poking it again.
Then he saw Ah Chu frown.
