Chapter 201: Chapter 200: Dealing with the Object Not (3 updates)

After leaving Yuexiang Primary School, Xu Niannian fell into deep thought. Xu Zhicheng’s situation was such that he could only be placed in the second grade, no matter what.

Thinking it over, Xu Niannian couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

Moreover, Teacher Yu had said that, with his circumstances, he couldn’t be enrolled in a preschool class at any school.

The most important thing was that he had no foundation at all, and it was not certain that other second grades would accept him.

She later went to find the principal.

The principal had mentioned that an entrance examination was required.

Xu Niannian couldn’t help thinking that it seemed she needed to spend some money to get things done.

Money was a minor issue. It was just that she didn’t know if the principal would go for that sort of thing.

This issue had Xu Niannian stumped.

Yuexiang Primary School’s situation wasn’t too bad, and the teachers were generally quite approachable.

Furthermore, many of the kids there were from ordinary families, unlike at Hongxin Primary School.

Xu Niannian now thought that as long as she could successfully get Xu Zhicheng into the school, she would handle his studies and tutoring.

Yuexiang Primary School didn’t have too much homework and had much less pressure compared to Hongxin Primary School.

Gangzi had picked up his little niece, carrying her and following beside Xu Niannian.

Seeing Xu Niannian coming out of the school and remaining silent, he couldn’t help but worry.

"Niannian, my cousin has a good relationship with the head of the school. How about I ask her tonight to see if she can help?"

Xu Niannian came back to her senses, saw the little girl sound asleep on Gangzi’s back, and smile appeared on her face, "No need, I’ll figure something out."

By the time she finished with all this, it was already five or six o’clock.

There were no buses from the county town to the town at that time, so Xu Niannian could only go back to Nanshui Road first.

Gangzi, carrying the little girl, reached a fork in the road and said to Xu Niannian, "Niannian, where do you live? Should I walk you home? It’s getting dark, and I’m worried about you being on your own."

Xu Niannian was deep in thought and hastily replied when she realized, "Ah, no need, I live on Nanshui Road, it’s quite close from here, you don’t have to bother, thanks for today."

Upon hearing this, Gangzi wanted to speak but hesitated, opened his mouth and, upon seeing the faint alienation in Xu Niannian’s eyes, could only say helplessly, "Then I’ll be off."

"Alright, goodbye."

Xu Niannian waved to him. Gangzi walked away, and she remained in that same waving pose.

Thinking that there were still some problems left to solve, Xu Niannian felt annoyed.

Lost in thought, a deep voice suddenly came from behind her, "Still can’t let go?"

The sudden voice startled Xu Niannian.

"Hey, do you walk without making a sound?"

Xu Niannian patted her chest, still somewhat shaken, and complained before suddenly remembering something.

"When did you come back?" she asked.

Jin Yu pursed his lips, "This morning."

Xu Niannian: "...Oh."

She casually walked past him, heading into the alley ahead.

Jin Yu grabbed her arm, "Is that your answer?"

Xu Niannian turned to look at him, "What else, then? Should I say ’Welcome’?"

Her overly calm demeanor made Jin Yu feel uncomfortable all over.

He still remembered the last time he revealed his feelings to her before leaving, "You’re not angry?"

Xu Niannian laughed, spreading her hands, "Why should I be angry? Is there even anything worth being angry about?"

Jin Yu looked at her. Her expression was natural, her eyes calm—it truly didn’t look like she was angry.

He had left without saying anything, especially after a confession followed by his sudden disappearance. Didn’t she care at all?

Thinking that his departure seemed insignificant to Xu Niannian, Jin Yu felt suffocated.

Still holding her arm, he said, "The question you asked me to think about, I..."

"Do you have an answer now?" asked Xu Niannian, still appearing serene.

Jin Yu had been agitated about this for a while, but seeing her so calm, felt a sudden imbalance and discomfort within himself.

"No," he said darkly, "I don’t think the answer is important. No matter why I’ve fallen for you, my feeling remains the same—I like you. Will you be my girlfriend or not?"

After hearing Jin Yu’s words, Xu Niannian was astounded. Damn, there were such people.

I like you, will you be my girlfriend or not?

Xu Niannian had never seen such a straightforward, blunt approach to pursuit.

She flatly said, "No."

"What did you say?" Jin Yu, unexpectedly rejected, found it hard to accept, "Why not?"

"Why should I?" Xu Niannian raised an eyebrow.

"Because I like you!"

Xu Niannian said, "But I don’t..."

"You like me!" Jin Yu retorted with such force that Xu Niannian was utterly taken aback.

She was still reeling from his confident declaration when he started to analyze it as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

"That day you said to let me think about whether you started liking me because I was that girl, or if you just liked me for me. Although I haven’t figured out the answer, I know that you like me too."

Xu Niannian looked at him as if he were insane. Jin Yu pursed his lips, "At least you have a good impression."

Xu Niannian tried to leave, but he blocked her way, his dark eyes piercing straight into her heart, "If you didn’t have any good feelings for me, you wouldn’t let me ponder this question, you’d just reject me outright. I’m right, aren’t I?"

Indeed, he was right in his analysis.

But... damn it, what kind of man chases a girl like this?

Hey, I like you, wanna date?

I know you actually like me too, right? Any more rejection is just being pretentious!

Ptooey.

Xu Niannian really wanted to spit in Jin Yu’s face.

With her heart full of silent derision, Xu Niannian forced a faint smile and started clapping her hands in front of him.

"Right you are, well said, logical, and brilliant, brother, do it again, I support you!"

Jin Yu: "..."

Feeling like his intelligence was being mocked.

Still, he brazenly insisted under her shining gaze, "So, are we dating or not?"

"Not dating, I’d rather die than date, Jin Yu, I take back what I said before. I don’t need you to answer any questions. I’m not dating."

Xu Niannian erupted like a little volcano, and Jin Yu inexplicably followed suit.

Thinking about how she had just been staring dreamily at the back of another man filled him with jealousy.

"Hey, I’ve only been gone a few days, you didn’t get a crush on someone else, did you?"

"Right, exactly," Xu Niannian answered through clenched teeth.

Jin Yu was met with a cold reception.

Thinking that she might have fallen for someone else weighed heavily on his chest, as if he had been punched.

He followed Xu Niannian closely.

"I want to date you, I want to chase you. Since you know how I feel, you should consider it properly and not reject me so quickly. Look, I’m quite outstanding."

Show off my ass!

Xu Niannian suddenly stopped, turned and aimed a kick at his groin.

Jin Yu effortlessly dodged, and not only that, he also grabbed her ankle and started to teach her seriously, "The movement’s not standardized, straighten your leg."

Straighten your grandpa.

Xu Niannian glared at him, feeling all previous good feelings dissipate, her heart aching with spasms. She couldn’t believe she’d had feelings for such an idiot.

Ah, what a nightmare.

"Let go of me," she demanded furiously.

Jin Yu could definitely sense her growing anger, and was puzzled, "What’s wrong with you? Can’t we just talk nicely?"

"No!"

The two of them, one chasing and the other running, created sparks and thunder as they made their way back to the house.

Xu Niannian blocked the doorway, "Two options: either you get lost, or I get lost."

Jin Yu understood what she meant; she was kicking him out, not willing to let him stay with her anymore.

Just the other day everything was fine, and she even gave him a chance to think things over. How could she have changed so much in just a few days?

Angered, Jin Yu grabbed her hand that was propped against the door and yanked her into his arms, his vice-like grip holding her slender waist tightly against his abdomen.

"I’m not leaving, and neither should you. Wherever you roll off to, I’ll follow."

Xu Niannian was infuriated by his shameless behavior, with her waist locked in place, she could only push against his chest, desperately leaning back as far as she could.

"Jin Yu, you are shameless."

Jin Yu held her while she blushed with anger until even the tips of her eyes were faintly red, her lips dewy and delicate, itching at Jin Yu’s heart.

She was, after all, the girl he liked. Jin Yu couldn’t help himself and leaned in to steal a kiss from her lips.

Xu Niannian’s waist might have been locked, but her hands were free.

After Jin Yu kissed her, his face met with two resounding slaps, especially firm ones.

So much so that when Jin Yu looked up, there were two comical streaks of blood running from under his nose.

Xu Niannian’s struggling hands froze, and she looked at him in shock.

It seemed, she might have used a bit too much force.

After her recent training, her hands were now much stronger than before.
