Meng Xinianâs eyes flashed, and his tone turned cold, "Do whatever I want?"
Chiang Xiao giggled, "Sheâs a really pretty girl, you know. Wonât you feel sorry for a damsel in distress?"
"You can try saying that again."
Meng Xinianâs face darkened.
Chiang Xiao raised her hand in surrender.
No way.
She couldnât say it again, otherwise, she might get a spanking from him at home.
"Iâll head over to my classmates now."
Chiang Xiao informed him and then went to the large private room at the back yard.
Jin Lei pulled out a chair beside him for her to sit, "Come on, come on, boss, sit here. This is the main seat."
Everyone burst into laughter.
One female classmate looked at him, then at Chiang Xiao, teasingly pursed her lips, and said with a smile, "Class monitor, I notice youâre really considerate towards Chiang Xiao. Do you have something on your mind?"
Many classmates around them laughed uproariously, then started to tease the two of them.
"I noticed when Chiang Xiao was on leave, the class monitor wasnât as lively and sunny as now. Whenever Chiang Xiao is around, the class monitor is particularly radiant."
"Yeah, yeah, I just heard the class monitor say that he even rode his bike to pick up Chiang Xiao today."
"Chiang Xiao, Chiang Xiao, what do you think of our class head Jin?"
Although Jin Lei no longer had any feelings for Chiang Xiao, being teased like this at his age made his face blush lightly.
He waved his hand and said to them, "Donât talk nonsense, thereâs nothing between me and Chiang Xiao, weâre just a bit more familiar with each other."
Everyone booed in unison.
"Yeah, why are you two more familiar with each other when weâre all classmates? Tell us why."
"It must be because our class head Jin keeps visiting Chiang Xiaoâs home..."
"I think class head Jin and Chiang Xiao are a good match."
Chiang Xiao just smiled while listening to their teasing banter.
This is youth, this is being young.
This age is when emotions are in full bloom. In her past life, she never experienced this; she was so inconspicuous that others couldnât see her and wouldnât sit with classmates to talk and laugh like this.
Of course, in this life, she actually didnât have much of a chance either. These jokes were just to listen to; she already had someone waiting for her.
If Meng the Jealous exploded, she feared sheâd be stewed in one pot by him.
"Okay, thereâs really nothing between Jin Lei and me. As for why weâre so familiar, itâs because Iâm older than him, Iâm his sister..."
"His sister?" Her classmates were taken aback.
Chiang Xiao, unperturbed, continued, "...âs good friend, so my seniority is the same as his sisterâs."
After saying that, she patted Jin Lei on the shoulder and said with a smile, "From now on, call me Sister Chiang."
"Oh please..." Jin Lei gave her a big eye-roll with good-natured exasperation. "Iâm not calling you that."
Everyone burst into laughter together.
So thatâs how it is.
The dishes were served soon.
As dishes after dishes of hearty meals were served, they left all the classmates stunned.
Jin Lei also opened his mouth wide, then couldnât help but nudge Chiang Xiao with his elbow, lowering his voice, "I say, youâre being too generous, arenât you?"
Was it necessary to order all of Fuxiâs specialties?
Steamed fish, braised shrimp, Dongpo pork hock, these dishes are expensive, because Fuxi uses expensive fish and shrimp; they are big, fresh, with few bones, and the meat is fresh.
The pork hock is made from free-range mountain pigs, which are also pricier.
Plus a few theyâre not sure of the names, how much is this table going to cost?
