Chapter 337: Teach me, please!_2

Jiang Chen seemed to be scolding.

"Bro, I just blocked the entire list of relatives, I definitely didn’t target you."

Hong Xiaoyu hurriedly explained.

Jiang Chen looked him up and down, and under Hong Xiaoyu’s anxious gaze, suddenly cracked a grin.

"Not bad, finding a girlfriend in your freshman year, better than your brother here."

Hong Xiaoyu smiled sheepishly and inquired again, "Bro, can I stay at your place tonight?"

"Being a brother, I can’t just leave you high and dry, can I?"

Jiang Chen laughed and patted his shoulder, walking out.

Hong Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief.

————

When Hong Xiaoyu made this request after dinner, sure enough, Hong Ou and his spouse did not object.

They had indeed been wanting to mend their relationship with their nephew.

But when it came time to pay the bill, they were told it had already been taken care of.

"It must be Zili, that kid is pretty decent."

Fang Weiguo muttered.

Indeed.

Apart from Fu Zili, there was no one else who would do this.

"Why don’t you ask the waiter how much it was? Transfer the money to him?"

Fang Qing looked at Jiang Chen.

Although they could save a sum of money, she understood that saving money wasn’t always something to be happy about.

"Since someone has already paid the bill, I think it’s best not to make it complicated. Anyway, you all grew up together since childhood, transferring the money back, isn’t that hurting the feelings?"

"Xiao Chen, I think your aunt has a point, let it go. You can treat him to a meal some other day, aren’t there plenty of opportunities?"

Pan Hui advised.

Jiang Chen didn’t say much further.

The group left Hai Zhong Xian.

As the Hong family lived outside the city in a different direction, they split up at the entrance,

taking a total of three taxis.

"Xiao Yu, I’m sorry..."

At the front door, after her parents went in, Fang Qing finally took the chance to apologize to Hong Xiaoyu.

"Sister Fang Qing, what’s this about? It’s a minor thing, no worries."

Hong Xiaoyu quickly said, acting as if he didn’t mind at all.

Fang Qing nodded, glancing at the two brothers.

"Goodnight."

"Goodnight, Sister Fang Qing."

The nearly 1.7-meter-tall Fang Qing turned around, entered her home, and closed the door.

"The girl next door is growing up."

Hong Xiaoyu couldn’t help but comment.

Jiang Chen took out his keys to open the door and went inside.

"If you don’t come in, I’m locking the door."

Hong Xiaoyu hurriedly followed.

"Bro, sometimes I really envy you, living alone, carefree."

Closing the door, he couldn’t help but express his sentiment.

"If aunt hears you saying such rebellious things, she’d probably give you a whipping."

Realizing the ambiguity in his own words, Hong Xiaoyu hastily explained, "Bro, I didn’t mean it that way..."

Jiang Chen’s expression remained calm as he took a seat on the couch produced by a carpenter’s workshop.

"Talk about it, what’s the deal with you and that girl?"

Hong Xiaoyu was taken aback.

"Bro, you can’t be that gossipy, right?"

"Well, there’s nothing to do, listening to some gossip wouldn’t hurt."

Hong Xiaoyu smiled wryly and sat down on the couch as well.

"Bro, there’s really not much to it, I met her at military training, guess it was love at first sight."

"Of course, it was me who fell for her at first sight."

He quickly added another comment.

The corners of Jiang Chen’s mouth twitched up as he leaned back on the couch.

"Is that girl pretty?"

"She’s okay I guess, at least at our school, but bro, you have no idea, girls are a rare species at our school, the guys outnumber them by several times, like in my class, there are only five girls!"

"She’s not from your class?"

"No."

Hong Xiaoyu shook his head, "Bro, let’s drop it, she’s not as pretty as the one you posted in your friend circle before."

Jiang Chen was surprised.

Hong Xiaoyu glanced at him and chuckled.

"Bro, didn’t expect that, did you? I’ve been secretly keeping an eye on you, but don’t worry, I haven’t told anyone."

Jiang Chen looked at the youth who actually rarely disturbed him and smiled indulgently.

Indeed.

At an age where they could fall in love, how could they not be aware of the little family feuds?

"Bro, are you two still together now?"

Hong Xiaoyu tentatively asked.

"You already know, don’t you?"

Hong Xiaoyu fell silent; he had indeed guessed it. The cousin’s prolonged absence of similar posts in his friend circle was enough to indicate the situation.

In college, love affairs often begin and end. It’s all too normal.

"Bro, were you the one who pursued her?"

"Now you’re cross-examining me."

"Bro, let’s talk about it, give me some advice. I actually haven’t sealed the deal yet, she hasn’t agreed to be my girlfriend."

"My experience is not something you should learn from."

Jiang Chen replied quietly.

"Why?"

"No reason, go take a shower."

"Fine, don’t tell me, no need to be so fierce."

Hong Xiaoyu, feeling somewhat wronged, obediently got up and went to take a shower.

"Bro, how do you turn on this water heater?"

Jiang Chen had no choice but to stand up and explain how to use the old-fashioned electric water heater.

Finally, peace was restored.

He sat back down on the sofa, and as he looked at the bathroom door, scenes from his childhood surfaced in his mind.

There was really no need for family to be so scrupulous with each other.

Let bygones be bygones.

Suddenly.

His phone rang.

It was a WeChat video call.

Jiang Chen fished out his phone and saw that it was from Li Shuru.

He answered.

"What are you up to?"

In the video, Li Shuru seemed to be walking.

"At home, and you?"

"I’m taking a walk around the neighborhood."

Li Shuru showed off her surroundings, which indeed confirmed she was in a residential area.

"Where’s Aunt Xue?"

"My mom went dancing with her friends, so I’m left all by my lonesome self."

Li Shuru’s voice carried a playfulness absent from her school days.

"So you only call me when you’ve got nothing better to do."

"Of course, would I think of you if I were busy?"

Jiang Chen chuckled.

"Are you alone at home?" Li Shuru asked.

"No, there’s another person here taking a shower," Jiang Chen replied, being quite frank.

"Who?"

Li Shuru’s expression changed instantly.

"Guess."

"Do you believe I’ll tell my mom?"

Even knowing it was a tease, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but laugh.

"Go ahead, you think I’m scared of that?"

Li Shuru stopped and suddenly became expressionless, staring at the screen in silence.

Her cool, aloof beauty persona returned.

Wasn’t it just a joke?

Was she really angry?

"What’s wrong?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Do you believe I’ll fly straight to Sha City right now?"

Jiang Chen was taken aback, then couldn’t help but laugh and cry.

A girl’s impulsiveness could really drive such actions.

"Silly girl, if there were something shady going on, would I be video calling you? It’s my brother; we just got back from dinner. He made our mom mad, so he came to seek refuge with me," Jiang Chen sighed.

"Really?"

Li Shuru seemed skeptical.

"What else? You don’t think I have a lover at home, do you?"

"Who knows."

As they were chatting, Hong Xiaoyu came out of the shower and noticed Jiang Chen on a video call. He asked curiously, "Bro, who is it?"

He walked over, faintly hearing what seemed like a female voice.

Approaching and peeking curiously, he was immediately stunned.

Although the video didn’t have a beauty filter, Li Shuru’s natural charm made her stand out in the art college, so the basics were certainly not trivial.

Hong Xiaoyu was instantly awestruck.

Jiang Chen didn’t attempt to hide anything and shifted the phone towards his cousin.

"See for yourself, it’s really my brother."

Seeing the beautiful girl on the screen, Hong Xiaoyu was at a loss for words.

It seemed Jiang Chen realized he hadn’t made introductions,

"Li Shuru, my girlfriend. This is my brother, Hong Xiaoyu."

"Hello, Xiao Yu," Li Shuru said with a radiant smile.

Considering she was the girl that even well-traveled wealthy heirs desperately sought after, how could Hong Xiaoyu resist? His mind buzzed, and he lost his ability to speak coherently, stuttering and stammering without producing a single word.

If it were Miss Shi, she would likely ask, "Is your brother alright in the head?"

But Li Shuru would never do that; sensing his nervousness, she took the initiative to say, "Alright, I’ll hang up now."

"Yeah."

The video ended.

Jiang Chen put down the phone and seeing Hong Xiaoyu still rooted to the spot like a statue, he couldn’t help but ask, "Did the water heater give you an electric shock?"

"Bro, is she really your girlfriend?" Hong Xiaoyu stuttered.

"Didn’t you hear everything?"

Hong Xiaoyu’s cheeks twitched, and then with a plop, he knelt down, clutching Jiang Chen’s knees.

"Bro, please, teach me your ways!"
