Chapter 48
Alright.
At that time, nobody knew the punchline yet.
Even my ‘brother’ only cracked through a few years ago.
Upon arriving at Commercial Street, An Nuonuo once again became the center of attention.
Despite wearing a face mask.
But her fantastic figure was too striking.
This made An Nuonuo instinctively hide behind Jiang Xu, lowering her head like an ostrich.
Jiang Xu’s mouth rose in a smile.
This action meant that An Nuonuo, to a great extent, highly trusted him.
She instinctively saw Jiang Xu as someone she could rely on.
They came to a store specializing in shoes.
Though An Nuonuo was now rich.
But she only bought a pair of discounted white sneakers for 19.9 yuan.
Jiang Xu suggested she buy another pair of running shoes, which she could use for her physical education class in the future.
An Nuonuo followed Jiang Xu’s advice.
But she still didn’t buy a brand-name pair; she just bought a very ordinary pair of running shoes for thirty yuan.
She put on the new sneakers right away, packing up her old ones.
The young girl didn’t want to throw them away because she felt they were still wearable.
“Can I buy a pair of shoes for you?”
Without waiting for Jiang Xu’s answer, she pulled him into a shoe store advertising ‘Sudden Billionaire’ and the shoes in there generally cost over a hundred yuan.
Jiang Xu was a bit touched.
She was thrifty with herself but generous with Jiang Xu.
“What a wonderful girl,” Jiang Xu thought.
The only thing he could do was commit to marrying her in the future to repay her kindness.
Jiang Xu knew that if he refused her offer, she would certainly be heartbroken.
So, he picked out a pair of white sneakers, costing one hundred and nine yuan.
An Nuonuo promptly paid for them.
Then the two returned home, but planned to meet up and walk to school together later.
They would probably reach the school around five o’clock.
…
“Qingyue, you’re so amazing, everyone idolizes you.”
On the way to school, Li Honghong was holding Zhou Qingyue’s hand.
They had reconciled.
The reason was that Li Honghong found out Zhou Qingyue had signed a contract with Story Club.
Moreover, her first piece had already appeared in the latest edition of Story Club.
Although it wasn’t in a prominent position.
But for a student, this was already something worth boasting about.
Li Honghong felt a sense of pride having such a beautiful author as her friend.
It would give her confidence when bragging to others.
That day, Zhou Qingyue intentionally dressed up.
She had on a light blue skirt that covered her knees.
It was a waist-cinching skirt that accentuated her slim waist.
She wore a pair of ladies’ sandals, which exposed her delicate white feet.
Even without makeup on, she was still remarkably attractive and youthful.
For girls of this age, youth was the best makeup.
All along the way, she attracted many glances.
Zhou Qingyue was pleased inside.
But on the surface, she acted nonchalant and said, “It’s pretty average, just ten yuan per thousand words.
I only earn four or five hundred yuan a month.”
Li Honghong admitted with envy, “That’s already quite good. My mom makes less than two thousand yuan a month.
You’ll have to treat me to milk tea more often in the future.”
Zhou Qingyue said casually, “No problem.”
Li Honghong changed the subject, “If Jiang Xu knew, he would certainly see you in a new light.
Then he would once again pursue you relentlessly.”
Zhou Qingyue’s lips curled into a smile.
But when she thought of Jiang Xu’s actions lately, her mood plummeted.
She decided, even if Jiang Xu pursued her again,
She would make him suffer first.
Also, he must humiliate An Nuonuo harshly in front of her, only then could her recent grievances be relieved.
Speaking, they had arrived at the school entrance.
Quite a few students from their class had already arrived.
Everyone was amazed when they saw how glamorous Zhou Qingyue looked today.
A few audacious boys ran over to curry favor with her.
While Zhou Qingyue maintained her composed facade, she was actually enjoying the attention.
The big-mouthed Li Honghong even took out the latest edition of Story Club.
“I have some great news to tell everyone. Our beauty Zhou Qingyue has signed a contract with Story Club,
and she has already published a novel.”
At her words, everyone present was stunned.
“My heavens, is that true?”
“Are you kidding?”
“Quick, let me see.”
…
This news triggered considerable shock among high school students.
Zhou Qingyue modestly acknowledged the words, “It was just good luck that I got a contract. Yes… it’s on page fifteen. The novel is called ‘Campus Love Story’, and the pen name is ‘Youth with the Wind.’”
Everyone turned to the page and surely, there it was!
One of the girls said admiringly, “Zhou, you’re so impressive to be published in Story Club.”
Zhou Qingyue replied modestly, “It’s no big deal.”
Her gaze, however, was wandering, in search for a certain someone.
Regrettably, the person had not yet arrived.
Zhou Qingyue instantly felt a little bit disappointed.
Another student asked, “How much money can this bring?”
All the students turned their curious eyes toward Zhou Qingyue.
That was indeed what everyone was keen on knowing.
Li Honghong answered for her, “Not much, not much, ten yuan per thousand words. She earns about four or five hundred yuan each month.”
Everyone gasped.
Many of them did not even have a hundred yuan to spend each month.
And yet, Zhou Qingyue, only by her efforts, could earn four or five hundred a month?
Suddenly,
The boys were admiring her, and the girls were looking up to her.
Zhou Qingyue was aloft with pride.
While she tried hard to keep her poise,
Inside, she was yelling manically, “Don’t stop, keep praising me.”
“What are you chatting about”
The class teacher arrived, having rented three minivans.
“Teacher, Zhou Qingyue has signed a contract with Story Club.”
“She also published a novel, look.”
“She’s so cool.”
…
The class teacher looked shocked.
Immediately, he lavished Zhou Qingyue with praise, “Well done, very impressive. Keep it up.”
“Thank you, Teacher.”
“Has everyone arrived yet?” Li Honghong looked around and then said sarcastically,
“Ah, only two people are still not here. Some don’t have any sense of time, making everyone wait.”
“It’s just four fifty now. As long as they arrive on time, why are you complaining?”
Jiang Xu’s voice came, without any courtesy.
This woman was really annoying, always babbling about nonsense.
Li Honghong turned around angrily.
But then, the next second, she and everyone else froze.
Their eyes all focused in the same direction.
To be precise, onto the same person.
An Nuonuo!
When had they ever seen such a lovely, beautiful girl that words were not enough to do justice?
Just standing there quietly, she instantly became the focus of everyone’s attention.
Compared to her, Zhou Qingyue paled, like a jade piece next to an ordinary rock.
Fu Yanjie’s eyes lit up as he tugged at Jiang Xu’s clothes, “Who is this younger sister? Introduce us quickly!”
