Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Look At This Pot, So Black And Big
"Well...it's not entirely impossible...but it would have to be after graduating from high school..."
With her head lowered, An Nuonuo spoke out timidly, stunning Jiang Xu with a surprising admission.
Jiang Xu, after vigorously rubbing his ears, asked again, "What did you just say?"
An Nuonuo stopped talking, turned her head away and refused to look at Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xu was overwhelmed with ecstasy.
He then felt a rush of blood and an overall increase in body temperature.
His heartfelt dedication over the past few years was indeed worthwhile.
All topped off with a tiny bit of strategy, it certainly paid off.
To avoid any misunderstanding, An Nuonuo added another comment.
"It's not what you think. I think you're suffering too much, and I want to give you a taste of sweetness."
However, her voice became softer and softer.
Toward the end, if Jiang Xu hadn't been listening attentively, he wouldn't have heard what she was saying.
Jiang Xu was enlightened. So that's what she meant.
It appears that the little girl projected the tragic protagonist of the movie onto him.
Thus, she developed a sense of sympathy for him.
Having understood this, Jiang Xu wiped away his tears.
With 'grief', he said, "You truly are a saint, thank you.
After we get married, I will help take care of our children so you can relax a bit."
Although Jiang Xu often teased her,
Such words still seemed to unnerve An Nuonuo somewhat.
She immediately stood up and started walking towards the door.
After a few steps, she came back,
Collected two empty cola cups and a popcorn bucket and threw them in the garbage bin.
Jiang Xu also went outside,
The movie was well worth watching today.
A two-year commitment was at least obtained.
Once outside, Jiang Xu asked her if she wanted to eat something.
An Nuonuo shook her head indicating she did not, and both of them went home.
Once home, Jiang Xu opened the high school group chat.
Expectedly, the group chat was mostly filled with discussions about Zhou Qingyue and the movie.
However, mostly, it was the boys who were discussing.
Most of them had already seen the movie.
"The movie was shot so well, that even I, a grown man, had tears streaming down."
"I didn't expect Zhou Qingyue's acting to be so good in her debut."
"She is bound to become a sensation. Afterward, we'll have bragging rights."
"I'm looking forward to it. In a few days, she will be promoting the film at our school."
"Jiang Xu, is there anything you would like to say?"
The discussion then veered towards Jiang Xu, who was dragged into the conversation.
The quiet girls began to join in as well,
One after another, they inquired about his current thoughts?
They were even more curious about Jiang Xu's feelings towards Zhou Qingyue's successful career?
Regarding these questions, Jiang Xu didn't feel like answering at all.
He simply turned off the light and went to bed.
In the next few days, Jiang Xu spent his time at home immersing himself in his writing.
On the opening day of school, his novel, "Martial Movement," already had a draft of 680,000 words.
It was a bit less than his initial estimates.
Mainly because his vacation had taken up a lot of his writing time.
Additionally, his other drafts ranged from a minimum of 500,000 words to over 1.5 million words at most.
The virtual library was preliminarily set up.
All other preparations had been completed as well.
The website was ready to go live anytime.
However, Jiang Xu was not in a hurry. He preferred to accumulate content for a bit more time.
Fu Yanjie's father had transferred the second installment of funding, which would last for a while.
Besides, Jiang Xu was still receiving royalties for his ongoing novel on the storytelling platform.
This month it was expected to have about 300,000 to 400,000 yuan.
Further ahead, it may only entail tens of thousands of yuan a month, or even just a few thousands.
According to Jiang Xu's estimates, the library needed at least a thousand novels of over a million words each to launch.
Otherwise, the readers wouldn't stick around just to read a few books.
Furthermore, initial promotion expenses were significant.
Standard promotions usually involve advertisements.
A billion yuan may still not be sufficient.
Jiang Xu was considering affordable and effective promotional strategies.
To put it simply, he wanted to achieve the effect of ten million yuan with just ten yuan.
The best would be no cost at all.
However, good ideas like these were more often stumbled upon than sought.
With a bit of tidying up, he was ready to go to school.
The moment he opened the bedroom door, Jiang Xu squinted his eyes.
He saw his sister, sitting on the couch.
Wearing her pajamas and with her legs crossed, he asked, "What are you doing here?"
Who else but Jiang Xiaoyan could it be?
Jiang Xiaoyan blinked, "I just woke up and was about to get some water."
"Oh, you just woke up...what? You just woke up?!"
Jiang Xu was shocked.
He couldn't help but run into the other room to check.
The bed sheets and the quilt were all messed up.
There was even a set of miniskirts tossed at the side.
Needless to say, Jiang Xiaoyan must have spent the night in this room last night.
Jiang Xu rubbed his somewhat swollen head.
Helplessly, he asked, "Sister, when did you come here?"
He always went to bed on time and detected no unusual activities last night.
Going deeper into the implications.
If his sister had sneaked into his room last night, and then...
Oh gosh, how embarrassing.
Jiang Xiaoyan playfully said, "I came over around one o'clock. You were sleeping like a pig.
If I had been any other girl, she would have taken advantage of you already."
Jiang Xu retorted unhappily, "Isn't school starting today? Don't you have to go?"
"Nope." Jiang Xiaoyan pouted, "I asked for a sick leave. There is nothing exciting about school.
I've already finished all three years of university courses.
I could even easily secure a placement."
Jiang Xu believed her on that point.
She was truly a genius among geniuses.
The conventional curriculum posed no challenge to her.
However, Jiang Xu still planned to give her a piece of advice," School is not only about knowledge acquisition but also about personal growth.
You have to learn how to interact with others, and so on.
Moreover, considering your age, your time shouldn't be wasted on mere entertainment."
Jiang Xiaoyan retorted, "Let me ask you, isn't the primary purpose of education to earn money and sustain oneself?"
Jiang Xu nodded.
"But I have you, my amazing brother.
You will undoubtedly make a lot of money in the future and take care of me, right?"
With her sweet charm and flattery combined, Jiang Xu was left speechless.
He decided to let it go. If she didn't want to go, then he wouldn't interfere.
Nonetheless, Jiang Xu still cautioned," You shouldn't stay overnight anymore.
If someone sees you, it won't be good for your reputation.
Besides, my place is not as comfortable as your big mansion."
Of course, his fear was primarily if An Nuonuo saw him, it would cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
He hadn't done anything wrong,
But he couldn't bear the thought of being accused falsely.
"Okay, I get it." Jiang Xiaoyan replied nonchalantly.
Given her attitude, it was clear she hadn't taken Jiang Xu's words seriously.
Looking at the time, he figured he might be late soon.
Once he got back, he decided to have a thorough chat with her.
After Jiang Xu left.
Jiang Xiaoyan immediately darted into his bedroom.
She threw herself onto the bed, grabbed the quilt, took a deep breath into it.
She rolled around on the bed, bursting into fits of cheerful laughter.
At the end, she even...
