Chapter 715: Chapter 716: Jealousy With Nowhere to Place
“Haven’t you thought that I might go out for a walk?”
“You wouldn’t. There’s nothing much to stroll around for right now, and even if you wanted to, you’d need to go back and ask Chu Liang to take you to look at those shops he found.”
She didn’t have that much ti to waste. Taking leave wasn’t possible for so long. Third grade was not like elentary school, and considering she had skipped a grade, the principal and teachers would definitely keep an eye on her.
Her previous trip to Capital City had already been extra ti.
Chiang Xiao was at a loss for words.
“Were you timing my arrival because you had sothing to tell ?”
“Even if I didn’t have sothing to tell you, I would still want to…” ng Xinian’s sentence trailed off halfway.
He suddenly felt a little embarrassed and shy to continue because the person facing him was only thirteen years old.
This made the words he had blurted out before seem sowhat shaless.
But his intention was too obvious. Even though he didn’t finish speaking, Chiang Xiao had already grasped his aning.
Despite having nothing to tell you, I still wanted to wait for you to co in, to know you’re safe, to talk to you.
Chiang Xiao’s face turned slightly red as well.
She felt that after this encounter, the atmosphere between them had beco sowhat strange.
All of a sudden, she even wished she could grow up faster.
Otherwise, with all this awkwardness, what was the point?
“I have good news for you,” ng Xinian cleared his throat and quickly focused on the matter at hand, “Old Tang and his group want to buy so of our snacks. Do you have a pen nearby? I’ll dictate, and you write it down.”
“Really?” Chiang Xiao was imdiately overjoyed.
“Hmm, I wouldn’t lie to you about this, would I?” ng Xinian caught her excitent and couldn’t help but start smiling too. When did other people’s happiness start to infect him so easily?
“Brother Chu, could you please get
a pen?” Chiang Xiao actually had a pen in her space, but with Chu Liang right next to her, it would be awkward to just pull out paper and pen from nowhere.
ng Xinian, holding the receiver, heard her talking to Chu Liang on the other end and suddenly felt a tinge of jealousy towards Chu Liang.
Normally, he should be the one with her. Why was it that soone else was handing her things beside her, while he was miles away?
ng Xinian’s mood suddenly soured.
“Brother Xinian, Brother Xinian?” Chiang Xiao had already taken paper and a pen and was ready to take down his order when there was no response from the other end for a long ti.
ng Xinian snapped back to reality and suddenly suggested, “Little, how about you wait for
to co back to City M, and then we go together to pick out materials for the renovation?”
“There’s no need, I can go and look with Brother Chu,” Chiang Xiao was perplexed, when would he have the spare ti? Besides, she had already made a special trip to the provincial city this ti. Was she supposed to leave without looking at anything and wait for him to co back, then make another trip?
ng Xinian really wanted to say he wasn’t pleased with her going shopping alone with Chu Liang, but sohow he just couldn’t utter those words.
His face began to feel hot.
ng Xinian, oh ng Xinian, where is your face? Chu Liang is in his thirties, Chiang Xiaoxiao is only thirteen. What are you imagining them as?
Do you think everyone is as beastly as you?
Mmm, this was like slapping his own face, and the feeling was truly bittersweet.
“Just write down the order first.” He pushed all those unspeakable thoughts deep down.
“Tell , I’m ready.”
“Tea flavored cakes, six boxes…”
As soon as ng Xinian began to speak, Chiang Xiao was sowhat shocked—six boxes of tea flavored ones! That’s a three hundred dollar order!
And then the honey, mung beans, red beans, all adding up to over six hundred dollars.
He had actually secured her an order close to a thousand dollars!
