Chapter 237: He Is Both Handsome and All-Capable

"Alright, two is enough."

Lu Fei was naturally thick-skinned and hadn't sensed the gunpowder between the girls' words at all, assuming they were just having a normal conversation.

He couldn't wait to roast sweet potatoes with Jiang Sinian.

Although they weren't in the same class, Lu Fei had heard Jiang Sinian's big name plenty of times in his daily life.

Overall, he was a very loyal buddy, someone worth hanging out with.

The five people split into two groups to roast sweet potatoes.

Lu Fei followed Jiang Sinian's example, first digging a large pit in the ground, then burying the sweet potatoes inside, covering them with ash and dirt, and finally burning firewood on top.

Yao Xiaotang stood behind Lu Fei, looking from time to time at Jiang Sinian, who was on the opposite side with his head turned, saying something to Jiang Siyu.

Her heart stirred slightly.

Her hometown was indeed in the countryside, and even though her parents later made some money from a small business and let her come to Huaiyang for school, she still felt somewhat inferior inside.

Her mother had told her since she was a child that a woman has two chances to be reborn in this life.

One is birth, and the other is marriage.

So, fourteen-year-old Yao Xiaotang knew that she must find a boyfriend from Huaiyang City in the future.

She had previously felt that Lu Fei was quite good; after all, his family background and appearance were both outstanding.

But if one were to compare the Lu Family with the Jiang Family, there was no comparison.

Especially when Lu Fei and Jiang Sinian stood together, she didn't know why, but her gaze would fall more on Jiang Sinian.

If she had known, she shouldn't have deliberately mocked Jiang Siyu just now.

Yao Xiaotang looked at Jiang Siyu's chubby, round face and felt that this kind of fat girl must belong to the type who was heartless and carefree.

Otherwise, if she had self-respect and self-love, she wouldn't have let herself get so fat.

So, after a short while, Yao Xiaotang went over and stood beside Jiang Siyu, thinking of finding some common topics with her.

Jiang Sinian's conditions were so good; it would be a pity if she didn't put in some effort.

But as soon as she leaned over, Jiang Siyu and Jiang Yue stopped their conversation, clearly isolating her.

"Jiang Sinian, are the sweet potatoes roasted yet?"

Yao Xiaotang simply squatted in front of Jiang Sinian and playfully touched her stomach, "I'm already hungry."

"I don't know what's wrong with me lately; I can eat a lot, but I just don't gain any weight. My mom is worried sick."

Usually, when Yao Xiaotang said this, everyone would praise her for being thin and comfort her by telling her to eat more.

"If you eat but don't gain weight, you probably have some serious illness. Tell your mom not to worry and hurry up and take you to a big hospital to get checked out!"

Jiang Sinian said without even lifting his head.

Yao Xiaotang:...

Biting her lip, she was almost furious.

She could barely maintain the smile on her face, especially after hearing Jiang Yue's undisguised mockery.

"I probably don't have any serious illness," Yao Xiaotang said, "Actually, I'm quite healthy. It's probably hereditary; my mom has this same constitution where she eats but doesn't gain weight."

"Tell your mom to go to a big hospital for a check-up too."

Jiang Sinian said casually.

He dug out a roasted sweet potato, blew on it, and broke it in half.

Just when Yao Xiaotang thought he would hand it to her first, she saw Jiang Sinian hand the sweet potato to his little sister first.

Fine, it was normal to give it to his little sister first.

Jiang Sinian handed the other half directly to Jiang Yue; after all, they had grown up together since childhood, and in his eyes, Jiang Yue was about the same as Si Yu, a well-behaved little sister.

Yao Xiaotang:...

She had already said she was hungry; if it were a warm guy like Lu Fei, he definitely would have handed it to her first!

How could Jiang Sinian be like this? He didn't have a shred of gentlemanly manners.

"How does the sweet potato roasted by your brother taste?" Jiang Sinian asked with great confidence.

Sometimes he felt that he was simply the most outstanding person in the world, both handsome and all-capable!

"Very average," Jiang Siyu said bluntly, "Half is cooked and half is raw."

Jiang Sinian:...

"Hahaha!" Lu Fei said with a laugh, "Did you forget to flip it?"

He found a long stick to push the ashes away and then flipped it over.

Yao Xiaotang felt that Jiang Sinian's tongue was truly too sharp, and for a moment she didn't have the courage to talk to him again, so she could only sit there honestly.

She had just seen that there was another sweet potato in the dirt Jiang Sinian had pushed aside; it should be left for her, right?

It would taste better if it were roasted a bit more.

At this time, Lu Fei felt that the sweet potato he had roasted was about ready.

"Who wants to eat the sweet potato I roasted?"

No one answered for a moment; Yao Xiaotang wasn't the type to take the initiative, she only accepted it when a boy held it out to her with both hands.

"Little," Lu Fei swallowed the word 'fat', "Siyu, do you want to try the sweet potato I roasted?"

Before Jiang Siyu could answer, Jiang Sinian refused first, "She won't eat it; we still have to go home to eat later."

Dad had gone to carry out a mission, and he couldn't make Mom angry again.

He picked the last and best-roasted sweet potato out of the ash pile; this one was left for Mom.

Jiang Sinian used dirt to bury the place where the sweet potatoes were roasted to avoid causing a fire.

Then he took his little sister and Jiang Yue home.

Yao Xiaotang:...

Was there no one to roast sweet potatoes for her to eat?

Jiang Sinian was one thing, but Lu Fei hadn't even asked!

He had only asked about Jiang Siyu.

It was one thing that she couldn't attract Jiang Sinian's attention, but could it be that she was even going to lose Lu Fei?

"Lu Fei, what kind of girl do you like?"

With only the two of them left in the woods, Yao Xiaotang asked boldly.

However, she clarified, "Don't misunderstand, I don't like you; I'm asking on behalf of the girls in our class."

"It's a secret." Lu Fei looked at Yao Xiaotang, his smile deepening.

"Then would you like a chubby girl like Jiang Siyu?" Yao Xiaotang was certain in her heart that Lu Fei had a good impression of her.

"I wouldn't," Lu Fei said.

Yao Xiaotang was satisfied.

Because just as she asked Lu Fei this question, Jiang Siyu happened to return to retrieve the hat she had left behind.

Jiang Siyu ran almost all the way home; although she had already guessed this possibility in her heart, hearing it suddenly was still very painful.

She didn't even know what she was sad about.

If Lu Fei didn't like her, it just meant Lu Fei had poor taste and was blind.

This world lacks everything except men.

She would not like a boy who didn't like her.

It was just that it was still so painful.

Si Rong felt that her daughter's emotions had been a bit off lately; she was always distracted while doing homework or reading, and she didn't know what she was thinking about.

Fourteen years old was the age when a girl's heart first begins to stir.

Si Rong had also been through this stage and understood that this was the time for her daughter to establish her views on love, and that parents needed to provide proper guidance.

But since her daughter wouldn't say anything, she had no way of knowing.

Until this day, when Si Rong inadvertently saw her daughter's diary.

Ever since Jiang Cheng left, there had been no news, and she worried daily; coupled with the rampage of the? F Virus and the number of daily infections constantly increasing, she was in a daze every day.

While tidying up her daughter's room, a pale pink notebook fell out from the desk.

It had been tucked inside a thick book.

Her daughter had always had the habit of keeping a diary, and Si Rong respected her privacy and had never looked at it.

But today, by the time she realized what she was doing, she was already reading it.

Lu Fei?

Why was this name so familiar?
