Chapter 631: Chapter 631 Bai Xiaoya: Well said, don’t say it next time
“`
Bear Country.
The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
“Ah!” Jiang Xiaoyan stood at the top floor of the office building.
Looking through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, she gazed at the scenery outside.
A pair of eyes gradually veiled in bloodshot.
A certain violent gene within her body was stirring restlessly.
This feeling permeated her whole body, giving her an impulse to destroy everything she saw in front of her.
Without Jiang Xu by her side, she almost couldn’t suppress herself anymore.
“Tch!”
Jiang Xiaoyan lifted her right hand, eyes fixated outside, and bit down.
A surge of sharp pain came through, but her face, instead, revealed an expression of enjoyment.
The strength of her bite increased continuously, and little by little, fresh blood seeped from her arm.
Just then, her mobile phone on the desk rang.
She glanced at it casually.
The next second, Jiang Xiaoyan instantly went from the depth of winter to the height of summer.
She picked up her phone with the fastest speed, pressed the answer key, and said softly, “Brother Xu~”
As if the bloodthirsty girl from just a moment ago wasn’t her at all.
Far away in Magic City, Jiang Xu didn’t know he had, once again, unknowingly saved Jiang Xiaoyan.
Well, and many others too.
After all, Jiang Xiaoyan with an episode had an astonishingly terrifying destructive power.
Hearing her pretentious voice, Jiang Xu shivered and complained, “You disgust me.”
“Hehe.” Jiang Xiaoyan sat on the sofa, pulling out a tissue to dab the fresh blood on her arm: “An Nuonuo can call you that, but I can’t, right?”
“Can’t be bothered arguing with you.” Jiang Xu didn’t pick up the conversation and said, “Tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival, and Nuonuo has made mooncakes herself.
I’ve already arranged for a special plane to deliver them; they should arrive around noon tomorrow. Make sure you go and collect them.”
Jiang Xiaoyan’s heart rippled slightly: “Was this mooncake delivery your idea or hers?”
Jiang Xu: “Initially, I intended to casually buy some from the supermarket and send them to you.
But Nuonuo said it’s better to make the mooncakes herself.”
“Hmph, homemade definitely won’t taste good,” retorted Jiang Xiaoyan stubbornly.
Even though she was quite touched at the moment.
Jiang Xu knew this girl was very prideful but didn’t point it out.
They chatted for a while longer before ending the call.
That one call successfully calmed the turmoil within Jiang Xiaoyan’s heart.
She looked at the wound on her arm, frowning slightly.
Then, she called for a doctor.
The doctor arrived quickly.
Upon seeing the depth of Jiang Xiaoyan’s arm wound, the doctor was startled.
If it had been any deeper, flesh might have started falling off.
The doctor, heart pounding with fear, treated Jiang Xiaoyan’s wound.
In front of strangers, Jiang Xiaoyan assumed an unapproachable demeanor, the archetype of a frosty beauty.
She said coldly, “If there’s even a slight scar left on my arm, you can go and kill yourself.”
Doctor: “…”
…
On the fifteenth of August, the moon was full.
There’s an old saying that during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the rain falls in torrents, and on the streets, Ai Kun is so heartbroken… Oh, sorry, wrong set.
The Mid-Autumn Festival.
That evening, Jiang Xu’s entire family, An Nuonuo’s family, Fu Yanjie’s family, along with Chu Youwei, and Bai Xiaoya, who now had no family of her own, all gathered together.
“Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!” Jiang Xu raised his glass: “Come on, let’s drink to it.”
“Cheers!”
“Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!”
Everyone clinked glasses and then downed their drinks in unison.
“Come on, come on, have some food, these are crayfish that I’ve made, everyone try them and see how they taste.”
“`
Bai Xiaoya enthusiastically served vegetables to everyone.
Lately, if she came to play with An Nuonuo, she would occasionally join in and learn to cook.
Well, the things she made looked good, but whether they were edible remained uncertain.
Jiang Xu was the first to eat.
Bai Xiaoya looked at him expectantly, “How does it taste, is it up to the standards of a professional chef outside?”
Jiang Xu: “I can’t say whether it’s up to the standards of a professional chef, but there’s one thing in common.”
Bai Xiaoya’s eyes lit up: “What is it?”
“That is…” Jiang Xu’s mouth curled slightly upwards: “They are all cooked.”
Bai Xiaoya immediately pouted her lips high: “Well said, don’t bother saying it next time.”
“Hahaha!”
Everyone laughed happily together.
“Bang bang bang…”
Fireworks started going off outside.
Strings of fireworks shot into the sky and then burst open, forming a line of big words: Nuonuo, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
These were customized by Jiang Xu especially for her.
The girl saw it, and her eyes twinkled with joy.
“The fireworks are so beautiful.” Fu Yanjie clapped his hands.
He got pinched by Zhang Yuanyuan at his waist.
Fu Yanjie turned his head, looking at her perplexed: “What’s the matter?”
“Hmph, big dummy, you don’t understand romance at all,” Zhang Yuanyuan pouted, almost dying of irritation.
Look at Jiang Xu, he even knows to set off fireworks to make his girlfriend happy.
Her own Mr. Straightforward could only clap his hands and shout ‘awesome’ on the side.
After the fireworks display was over, the elders each went home, leaving the space to the younger people.
A few young people sat in the living room, and Fu Yanjie suggested, “How about we play mahjong?”
“No way,” Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo said in unison.
The mere thought of playing mahjong brought back memories of past domination and fear.
Lose every game you play, lose all day as you play.
Mahjong, of all things, was the least fun.
Bai Xiaoya, who knew the inside story, burst into unrestrained laughter.
It was quite rare to see these two at a disadvantage over something.
Eventually, everyone decided to play Fight the Landlord.
The first round was started by An Nuonuo, Bai Xiaoya, and Fu Yanjie.
The loser switches out.
Chu Youwei sat down next to An Nuonuo, blinking her clear and bright eyes: “Fight the Landlord… how do you play that?”
A very simple game, but due to the environment she grew up in, she didn’t even know how to play.
Some people, just to survive, have to use all their efforts.
An Nuonuo felt a bit heartbroken; her sister’s childhood had been even harder than hers.
Even when she herself had it rough, she had loving parents and later met Jiang Xu, who changed her destiny.
She said softly, “It’s really simple, sister, I’ll teach you.”
All of them, aware of the circumstances, did not mock Chu Youwei but showed the greatest kindness.
Indeed, only those with similar characters could play together.
After all, these young people were good-hearted.
Chu Youwei felt everyone’s kindness and care, and a smile from the bottom of her heart appeared on her face.
After watching a few games, Chu Youwei also learned to play.
She took her turn to join the game.
Perhaps because of the newbie protection period, Chu Youwei kept winning, filling everyone with the fear of being dominated.
Bai Xiaoya’s eyes shone: “Youwei, if I had known you were so lucky, I would have taken you to Men’ao to have some fun!”
Chu Youwei smiled shyly.
Jiang Xu got up to grab some drinks.
At this moment, his attention was caught by the content playing on the TV.
