Chapter 241: Green Tea Treasure Manual

Only after watching Jiang Siyu walk far away did Sun Chanjuan give her son's arm a thump.

"Look at that dead-fish look on your face! Let me tell you, if you can hook this girl from the Jiang Family, your starting point in the future will be at least several decades ahead of your peers!"

Lu Fei:...

"Mom, I'm still young, why do you always talk about these random things!"

He could feel that the little girl Jiang Siyu had a favorable impression of him, and he knew the Jiang Family had a powerful background, but he already had someone in his heart.

"If you truly don't have this intention, then so be it. Study hard. When you're older—after all, I am Si Rong's senior sister—I will go over and propose the matter between you and this little girl, and I presume she won't be able to refuse."

Sun Chanjuan recalled Si Rong from their youth, the dream lover of the school's boys; they had also liked Si Rong's simplicity.

Simplicity meant she was easy to manipulate.

"Let me tell you, stay away from that girl named Yao Xiaotang in the future! Don't think I don't know what kind of scheme she's playing!"

Sun Chanjuan had come from the countryside herself, "She thinks that by wiggling her little waist and acting pitiful, she can bewitch you into marrying into a city family like our Lu Family? Keep dreaming!"

"A woman with no meat on her face is heartless and brings bad luck to her husband! She has no look of fortune at all; compared to that girl from the Jiang Family, she's far worse!"

Yao Xiaotang behind the big tree:...

Lu Fei didn't like hearing these words and said perfunctorily, "You hurry home first, I still need to say a few words to my classmate in a moment."

After sending Sun Chanjuan away, Lu Fei saw Yao Xiaotang, whose eyes were as red as a little rabbit's.

"Lu Fei, I didn't, I really didn't have that kind of intention..."

Yao Xiaotang looked as if she had shattered; tears slid down, and she turned and ran away.

Her running off like this seemed to have taken Lu Fei's heart along with her.

His mom was really something; Xiaotang was so simple and fragile, she couldn't possibly be a girl with such deep schemes!

Although she didn't say it, she must be so heartbroken because she liked him.

Lu Fei subconsciously went to chase after her, but was grabbed by Jiang Sinian.

"Brother, have you ever been fishing?"

His words left Lu Fei as confused as a monk who couldn't find the head of the statue, "I have things to do right now, I don't have time to talk to you about fishing..."

Jiang Sinian raised an eyebrow, "Fine then, go ahead and get hooked!"

He was giving a kind reminder, out of the sentiment of having roasted sweet potatoes together.

"If you chase after her now, she will definitely be waiting for you not far away. Once she sees you, she will turn around and pretend to ignore you, waiting for you to coax her."

Lu Fei:...

This guy was simply spouting nonsense!

He stopped paying attention to Jiang Sinian and chased in the direction Yao Xiaotang had run.

He saw that after all this time, Yao Xiaotang had only run a dozen meters or so, sitting on a granite block, crying like a pear blossom in the rain.

Seeing him come, Yao Xiaotang turned away and made a show of ignoring him.

Truly, every reaction was exactly within Jiang Sinian's predictions.

This guy really had something going for him.

Lu Fei remembered what Jiang Sinian said about fishing; could it be that Yao Xiaotang was really fishing for him on purpose?

Suddenly, he had no heart left to coax Yao Xiaotang.

He only wanted to hurry and chase after Jiang Sinian to ask him how he was so knowledgeable and knew everything.

"I apologize for what my mom said to you, but she didn't mean it. Anyway, you should go home early! It's cold sitting on the granite."

After saying this, Lu Fei immediately turned to find Jiang Sinian.

Yao Xiaotang:...

That's it?

Lu's mother had said so many excessive things, yet she hadn't spoken a word of blame, only shed tears of grievance.

In the past, Lu Fei would have definitely put in the effort to coax her properly and would have taken her to a restaurant to eat something delicious; what was wrong with him today?

Could it be that Lu Fei had taken all those words from his mother to heart?

Yao Xiaotang gripped her fingers tightly.

Sure enough, nouveau riche families like the Lu Family had no substance.

How dare they look down on her?

Yao Xiaotang wiped her tears dry with her sleeve; this was fine too, from now on she would put all her focus on Jiang Sinian.

"Why haven't you left yet?" a classmate asked Jiang Sinian.

Jiang Sinian rested his hand on his forehead, "I'm fishing."

"Fishing? Fish on land?" the classmate asked, puzzled.

"Correct answer, it is indeed a fish on land, abbreviated as a land-fish!"

As soon as the words fell, Lu Fei had already jogged back to his side.

He draped his arm over his shoulder, very curious, "Sinian, just now, how were you so accurate?"

Jiang Sinian feigned mystery, "Guess."

Lu Fei naturally couldn't guess.

"Tell me!"

"Call me brother." Jiang Sinian thought of his little sister's infatuated nature; if she knew he could coax Lu Fei into calling him brother, he wondered what kind of expression she would have.

Lu Fei was one grade higher than Jiang Sinian and also one year older.

A teenage boy was at the age where he cared most about his pride, but Lu Fei was truly too curious; he looked left and right to see no one was around, and bit the bullet to call him brother.

"Tell me now!"

Jiang Sinian then told him, "This is, of course, because I have read the 'Green Tea Treasure Manual'."

"The 'Green Tea Manual'?" Lu Fei had never heard of it, "Which famous author did it come from?"

Jiang Sinian pointed at himself.

"You wrote it?" Lu Fei widened his eyes, "You can even write books?"

Jiang Sinian pressed his index finger to his lips, "Shh, keep it low-key. I'm still in school right now and don't want to receive that much attention."

Lu Fei:...

For some reason, seeing this affected act of Jiang Sinian's, only two words echoed in his mind.

Show-off.

"Lend me the book to take a look," Lu Fei said, he wanted to show off too.

"How can one speak of 'lending' when it comes to the affairs of a scholar?" Jiang Sinian held his palm upward, "Our meeting and conversation is fate; one book is eighty-eight yuan total."

Lu Fei:...

"Eighty-eight yuan? Why don't you just go rob someone!"

Jiang Sinian waved his hand, "Young man, you are truly hot-tempered. Learn more from me, and naturally your character will become noble."

"I'll buy it."

Lu Fei gritted his teeth and fished out eighty yuan for him, "That's all I have."

"Fine then," Jiang Sinian stuffed the money into his pocket, "Come home with me to get it."

When they were almost home, Jiang Sinian reminded him, "Keep our transaction a secret, you hear? Especially don't let my younger sister know; if she finds out, it'll be the end of me."

Lu Fei was unimpressed, "It can't be that serious. I think your younger sister is quite gentle and also quite cute."

Jiang Sinian said nothing.

Young people are always clear-eyed and foolish; rarely are they as mature, wise, and comprehensively excellent as he is.

The two walked home side by side, Lu Fei sizing up the furnishings of the Jiang Family, thinking in his heart about the things his mother had said before.

The Jiang Family was low-key wealthy; the decorations in the home were elegant and noble, not something a family like theirs could compare to.

"Sit on the sofa for a while first," Jiang Sinian instructed the new nanny at home to pour water, "I'll go back to my room and get it for you."

He really did know how to write books.

The siblings' rooms were adjacent, so Jiang Sinian deliberately slowed his footsteps, but when he went downstairs with the book, he still startled Jiang Siyu.

As soon as Jiang Siyu saw his tiptoeing appearance, she knew he was up to no good.

She followed Jiang Sinian all the way down the stairs, the sound of her running having a sense of "strength to uproot mountains and spirit to cover the world."

"Jiang! Sinian! Don't you run! Watch me cast my decisive blow!" Jiang Siyu took off her slipper and threw it at Jiang Sinian downstairs.

She had already said Mom's eyes were uncomfortable, yet he still dared to do bad things; as his younger sister, she was going to act on behalf of heaven today.
