章節 144: Chapter 144: You Really Are Ordinary Yet Confident
"Uncle and aunt, I am leaving now."
Li Yuanjuan and An Feng came out of the kitchen.
"Why, are you leaving so soon?"
"Oh, where's Nuonuo?"
Jiang Xu laughed, "She went back to her room to take a shower, and I am leaving before her."
Then he left Nuonuo's house.
Jiang Xu put his right hand inside his nose to sniff: "Hmm, really fragrant."
As for where this fragrance came from, he couldn't say overtly.
He then rode his bike back home.
On his way, Jiang saw an old man selling melons.
There were still quite a few left unsold late at night.
Jiang Xu stopped and asked the old man about the price of melons.
The price was much cheaper than in the fruit stores.
Considering that this old man was still selling melons late at night all by himself, which was quite difficult, he bought ten.
It would be good to share with the colleagues tomorrow.
"I'll take all the remaining melons."
Just as Jiang Xu prepared to pay, a cold voice sounded from behind.
He turned his head to find Zhou Qingyue stepping out of a luxurious car.
She was dazzling in a shiny evening dress and stepping on a pair of expensive-looking high-heeled shoes.
She emanated a stunning allure.
Just like an arrogant swan, she was striding towards them.
Jiang Xu took out the money from his pocket, handed it to the old man, received the melons, and left without saying hi.
Zhou Qingyue walked past him, leaving only a lingering fragrance behind.
Zhou Qingyue's gaze was aloof, radiating disdain.
Jiang Xu found it amusing.
If she aimed to achieve a sense of superiority or degrade him with this demonstration, then she was being utterly naive.
Zhou Qingyue took out 500 yuan and handed it to the old man.
She coldly instructed, "Send these melons to Starlight KTV!
Students will be there at the entrance to receive them."
The old man quickly nodded, grinning broadly.
Afterwards, Zhou Qingyue made a call, "Hello, class monitor?
I bought some melons and someone will bring them to the entrance soon. Please make sure someone picks them up.
Mmm, I have to leave for something else. Have fun."
Her voice was loud enough for Jiang Xu to hear.
However, he completely ignored her.
Whether she aimed to flaunt her superiority or change his impression of her, it mattered little to him.
"Hey, we meet again."
Liu Yue got off the car and enthusiastically greeted him.
She was originally quite fond of Jiang Xu.
According to the latest news Liu received,
"Youth and Sorrow" had achieved a box office result of 7.6 million on the first day.
Although it was a low-budget production,
its results were slightly better than "Those Bygone Years", albeit not by a large margin.
The success could be mainly attributed to the high-quality content of the movie.
For such a talent, Liu Yue certainly intended to maintain good relations.
"Fancy meeting you here," Jiang Xu replied with a smile.
He believed in treating people on their individual merits.
Although he had disagreements with Zhou Qingyue, he had no conflicts with Liu Yue.
Moreover, last time she even made an exception and gave him his profits in advance.
Liu Yue laughed, "The filming process of the TV drama version of "Those Bygone Years" is going pretty fast.
Once it's finished, we plan to film another one of your novels.
So, do you have any new works?"
She was very much looking forward to it.
If Jiang Xu had a new work, she would definitely buy it as soon as possible.
Jiang Xu shook his head, "Not yet, I don't have much inspiration these days."
Although Liu Yue was disappointed, she didn't say more.
A gust of fragrance rushed over.
Zhou Qingyue walked over.
She quietly said, "Let's go, auntie."
After speaking, she got into the car.
From beginning to end, she never glanced at Jiang Xu.
Liu Yue gave Jiang Xu an embarrassed smile and got in the car as well.
Jiang Xu waved at Liu Yue, then left as well.
In the car, Zhou Qingyue said expressionlessly, "He's not worthy of me now."
Liu Yue: "Huh?"
Zhou Qingyue: "Now I have fame, I ride in luxury cars,
and my future is bright.
He will only ever be a small-time writer at most."
Although she seemed to be speaking to Liu Yue,
she was actually talking to herself.
It was as if she wanted to convince herself through this form of self-persuasion that it was Jiang Xu's loss not to want her.
Upon hearing this, Liu Yue sighed in her heart.
Still acting childish.
It seems Zhou Qingyue still cares a lot about Jiang Xu.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have lost all her composure that she usually maintained in the face of others.
When they got home, Fu Yanjie sent a message,
Zhou Qingyue didn't say anything bad about you, but she has changed a lot.
She's not only beautiful and has a good figure but also possesses an extraordinary temperament.
By the way, if you really don't like her anymore, can I pursue her?
When Jiang Xu saw the message, he couldn't hold back his laughter.
He replied directly: Bro, your ordinary and yet confident expression is truly something.
With her taste, how would she possibly like someone like you who has poor grades, average looks, and isn't tall?
Fu Yanjie: You're too mean, is that how you talk about your brother? Anyway, I am rich.
Jiang Xu: You're ugly.
Fu Yanjie: I am rich.
Jiang Xu: You're ugly.
Fu Yanjie: Boohoo, I hate you, I won't talk to you until tomorrow morning.
The next day, Nuonuo came over to help as usual.
However, when she saw Jiang Xu, the girl suddenly pinched him hard on his waist.
Then she sat down quickly.
Jiang Xu winced in pain, "Are you resorting to sneak attacks now?"
Nuonuo bit her lips slightly, "That's because you...you did...last night..."
She couldn't speak the rest of the sentence.
Knowing she is shy, Jiang Xu didn't pursue the topic.
Well.
She's obviously not genuinely mad.
If she was really angry, she would not even bother with him.
It served as a great hint.
The data growth on the website was not exceptional today.
But the recharged amount was a bit more than yesterday, over 80,000 yuan.
The main reason was that, after a few days' fermentation,
the number of readers of paid chapters increased.
Among them, there were quite a number of readers who recharged for the second, and third times.
The number of followers on Weibo had finally reached 90,000, benefiting from the good results of "Youth and Sorrow".
The latest Weibo post Jiang Xu made had over a thousand comments and more than two hundred reposts.
Following this trend,
once his followers passed the 100,000 mark, posting a Weibo promoting the website,
should give the number another boost.
They worked till off hour in the afternoon.
After Lin Nan and others had left,
Jiang Xu went over to Nuonuo, "Let's go and watch a movie."
"Sure, just give me a moment," Nuonuo was focusing on the screen, "I am almost finished."
She was very serious and hardworking.
Now she no longer needed to use only two fingers to type.
After waiting for her for ten minutes, Nuonuo finally finished.
After shutting down her computer, she said, "I'll go home to take a shower first."
Jiang Xu stared at her flawless face.
He spoke words that left her blushing with shy.
