Chapter 496: Suggestion 440
"Mm, I’ll come back tomorrow."
In the hotel.
Hong Xiaoyu sat quietly, not making a sound.
He knew very well.
His cousin was calling his real "sister-in-law."
"Brother, does sister-in-law know... what you’re doing in Hancheng?"
When the call ended, Hong Xiaoyu couldn’t help but ask, although what he really wanted to know was whether sister-in-law knew who you came with, but he phrased it more tactfully.
"She does."
Jiang Chen put away his phone and nodded nonchalantly.
He had been in Hancheng for nearly a week or two, how could he possibly hide it from Li Shuru? Of course, he had not thought about hiding it either.
Even knowing that he was with Shi Qianxi, Li Shuru seemed to have a lot of trust in him; things like phone calls to check in were few and far between.
Hong Xiaoyu opened his mouth, feelings of admiration spontaneously arising.
The red flag at home flies high while colorful banners flutter outside.
For such matters, almost every man would feel envious.
But envy was all they could afford; this level of skill was beyond his learning.
"Brother, Ren Miao said she wanted to personally thank you and Qian Qian..."
Hong Xiaoyu began.
"No need, there’s no time anyway. Tell her not to dwell on this matter."
Although Shi Qianxi had shown mercy, her impression of that girl still wasn’t too favorable.
Thus, a meeting between them would undoubtedly not be amicable.
Better to avoid trouble.
And that missy most certainly could do without such superficial thanks.
"Oh..."
Qian Qian really was out of the ordinary.
To be so helpful yet so indifferent, to bestow favors without expecting anything in return.
That’s what Hong Xiaoyu thought.
The image of Shi Qianxi in his mind became even more towering and noble.
"Let’s talk about you."
Jiang Chen said with a smile.
Hong Xiaoyu looked perplexed.
Jiang Chen sat up straight, watching this kid who used to follow him everywhere, wearing open-crotch pants and trotting along.
"You’ve rescued that girl from a dire situation this time, deserving the title of a hero saving the beauty. Her impression of you should have changed."
After a pause, Jiang Chen asked with a smile, "Have you considered regrouping and trying again?"
Hong Xiaoyu was startled for a moment and mumbled, then after a long while, he blurted out a sentence.
"Brother, I really haven’t had time to think about what you’re saying."
"Then you can think about it now."
Hong Xiaoyu was silent, as if contemplating for a while, then he asked for advice, "Brother, what would you do if you were me?"
Jiang Chen smiled wryly.
"Everyone has different views, and I haven’t been through what you guys have, so I can’t answer your question."
Hong Xiaoyu fell silent again, seemingly very lost and troubled.
Jiang Chen patted his shoulder.
"Alright, stop thinking about it. If you really don’t know what to do, just let things take their course."
"Brother, I’ve decided not to go back this summer."
Hong Xiaoyu suddenly said.
Jiang Chen was surprised.
"Why?"
"I want to work to earn money and support myself, just like you."
Jiang Chen watched him for a long time, his eyes filled with gratification, and said with a smile, "I had no choice but to struggle. You don’t have to work so hard."
"Brother, I’ve realized that I’m really too naive. Ren Miao, a girl, is working so hard for her family, running around so much, so it’s completely normal that she doesn’t think much of me. If I were her, I would definitely not be impressed with a boy like me either."
Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow.
This kid was finally growing up a bit.
"But working isn’t as easy as you think; it can be very tiring, and sometimes you’ll endure a lot of mistreatment. Are you sure you can handle it?"
"Brother, I am an adult now."
Hong Xiaoyu beamed with a smile.
Jiang Chen nodded.
"Alright then, since you’ve thought it through, I support you."
"Thanks, Brother."
As the brothers were talking, the doorbell rang.
"Brother, I’ll go."
Hong Xiaoyu got up first and opened the door, only to find Duan Xueying outside.
For some reason, seeing this peer who was outstanding in every aspect, Hong Xiaoyu felt nervous all over, awkwardly forgetting to greet her; it was she who smiled and broke the silence.
"Qian Qian asked me to call you guys, we’re getting ready to leave."
"Oh, okay."
Duan Xueying, who might become a beautiful memory in many people’s youth, left.
Hong Xiaoyu closed the door.
"Brother, why is Xue Ling here?"
My cousin and Sister Qian Qian were leaving for East Sea tomorrow, so he came over today to spend some quality time with them.
"Xue Ling is here?"
Jiang Chen also seemed a bit surprised, then said, "It must be Sister Qian Qian who invited her."
Hong Xiaoyu hesitated, wanting to say something but then stopping himself.
"Why are you so nervous?"
Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
"Brother, maybe I shouldn’t go."
"Alright, then go tell your Sister Qian Qian and head back first."
Hong Xiaoyu immediately clammed up.
He understood a bit about social etiquette.
After all, they had done him such a huge favor; how could he have the nerve to ruin their mood?
So he bit the bullet and found himself at Happy Valley.
As the largest amusement park in Hancheng, Happy Valley was almost always packed to the brim, with two to three-hour waits for popular rides being nothing out of the ordinary.
Of course.
Miss Shi and her friends naturally didn’t have to endure this kind of treatment; they didn’t even need to pull any strings themselves when Xue Ling easily obtained several VIP passes not available for general sale.
Similar to the VIP features at Disney, they allowed you to skip the lines altogether.
"Xiao Yu, have you been here before?"
Shi Qianxi asked.
"No."
"Then this is your first time."
Miss Shi’s words were laden with meaning.
Hong Xiaoyu blushed, staying silent.
"Tsk, that drop tower looks pretty tall."
As she spoke, Shi Qianxi began walking toward the towering drop tower.
Facing the high-thrill ride, the usually cautious Hong Xiaoyu immediately felt a sense of dread and quickly said, "Sister Qian Qian, I don’t want to go on this."
Seeing the fear on his face, Shi Qianxi didn’t force him.
"Okay, then you and Xue Ling go find something else to play."
Hong Xiaoyu was in a tough spot.
"Let’s go."
Xue Ling said.
Hong Xiaoyu forced a smile and had no choice but to follow her.
Shi Qianxi smiled as she watched them go.
"You can go on it yourself, I’m afraid of heights."
After Xue Ling and Hong Xiaoyu left, Jiang Chen dropped the politeness.
"Afraid of heights? Are you even a man?"
Jiang Chen, unfazed, replied, "You can consider me not a man if you’d like."
Shi Qianxi glared at him as she involuntarily kicked him with her flat shoes.
"You’re studying in Hancheng and you’ve never been to Happy Valley?"
The two young men and women walked through the crowded park without rushing to any rides.
"Yeah, I’ve thought about coming, just never got around to it."
Hong Xiaoyu was clearly a bit reserved.
But as a girl, Xue Ling seemed more at ease, turning her head with a smile and asking, "Sister Qian Qian told me that not long ago, the girl you liked rejected you?"
Hong Xiaoyu felt incredibly awkward at the question, but he didn’t deny it.
"Yeah, that’s right..."
Xue Ling seemed to find his reaction amusing, her smile deepening.
"That girl must be quite outstanding."
Hong Xiaoyu turned his head to glance at her, then hesitated before nodding. But perhaps out of courtesy, he added, "But not as beautiful as you."
Xue Ling was taken aback for a moment, then smiled. In that instant, Hong Xiaoyu thought of a water lily blooming in the wind.
"It seems Sister Qian Qian didn’t lie to me."
Following the lead of the other, Hong Xiaoyu relaxed and asked subconsciously, "What did Sister Qian Qian say?"
"She said you’re a... honest boy."
As she spoke, Xue Ling smiled again.
Hong Xiaoyu chuckled dryly, unsure of what to say.
"As a girl, maybe I can give you a little advice."
Xue Ling tilted her head.
"What is it?"
Hong Xiaoyu asked instinctively.
"For an outstanding girl, there’s no need for a confession."
Hong Xiaoyu looked blank, not quite understanding.
"I’m a bit lost..."
"Just look at Brother Jiang Chen and Sister Qian Qian and you’ll understand."
Hong Xiaoyu was still confused.
As Xue Ling moved ahead, she laughed softly.
"I don’t know if you’ve heard this saying, but love isn’t loud and colorful. Love, is speechless."
