Chapter 283: What exactly is going on with him and Jiang Yue?

There was no response from inside the room.

Jiang Sinian began to explain, "When I was getting ready to leave today, I ran into," he had originally intended to say Jiang Yue's father, but changed course as the words left his lips, "a neighbor of mine who suddenly had a cerebral hemorrhage. It was snowing heavily, so I helped take them to the hospital and forgot in the rush."

Hearing this reason, Bai Fu stood by the door and spoke up for Jiang Sinian, "Momo, you can't be so willful. Sinian went to perform a righteous deed; hurry up and open the door!"

The door opened.

Bai Mo stood in the doorway with her hands behind her back, looking at Jiang Sinian with a critical gaze.

"So you went off to be a hero?"

After saying this, she sneezed, then glared at Jiang Sinian again, "You made me stand in the snow for the whole morning. Do you know you were wrong?"

"I was wrong," Jiang Sinian said with a bitter smile, "Don't be angry. Tomorrow, I will definitely take you tomorrow, okay?"

"Hmph~, I'll see how I feel tomorrow." Seeing Jiang Sinian cave in, Bai Mo felt her temper ease slightly, "Which neighbor is it?"

"The one behind our house," Jiang Sinian bluffed, "You don't know them."

He didn't know why he had to lie, but the words just came out.

Bai Mo didn't press for details and temporarily forgave Jiang Sinian.

This heavy snow fell for three full days.

Three days later was a rare sunny day, and during PE class, the teacher gathered the students to clear the accumulated snow from the playground.

Being at a mischievous age, the students started a snowball fight not long after they began clearing the snow.

Bai Mo pulled Jiang Siyu aside, "Let's be a team!"

She packed a snowball and threw it at Jiang Sinian.

Jiang Siyu couldn't very well refuse, so she had no choice but to play along with her.

More and more students joined in the snowball fight.

Lu Fei thought Jiang Siyu looked cute when she ran, so he crouched down, packed a small snowball, and hit Jiang Siyu with it.

He even curled his lips into a smile at Jiang Siyu.

It was truly a bit greasy and offensive.

Jiang Siyu frowned and pulled her down jacket up a bit, then bent down to pick up a large snowball the students had shoveled together and threw it at Lu Fei.

You like playing with snowballs, right?

Lu Fei:...

He was almost killed by the impact.

What was going on? Didn't Jiang Siyu like him?

Now he felt his mother was right; a girl like Jiang Siyu was indeed much better than someone realistic and mercenary like Yao Xiaotang, and her background was better too.

He was moved again.

But Jiang Siyu didn't seem to want to pay him any mind; could it be that she was shy?

The more Lu Fei thought about it, the more likely it seemed. After all, Jiang Siyu had liked him before, so she must be overjoyed now that he was pursuing her so abruptly.

This little cutie, there really was no helping her.

The snowball fight lasted for half the period. Halfway through, Bai Mo pulled Jiang Sinian to a corner beside the playground.

She stood on tiptoe and kissed Jiang Sinian on the forehead.

"A reward for you!"

Jiang Sinian curled his lips, "For what?"

"A reward for having only me in your eyes," Bai Mo said triumphantly. Just now, she had seen Jiang Yue looking at Jiang Sinian from time to time, but Jiang Sinian hadn't looked at Jiang Yue once, keeping his eyes on her the whole time.

"I want you to only ever have me in your eyes," Bai Mo's eyes sparkled.

Young people always think a single moment is a lifetime.

But in reality, forever is too long.

The school gate was very crowded after school. Lu Fei was waiting there, and as soon as he saw Jiang Siyu walk out, he immediately said, "Siyu, I want to invite you to the skating rink this weekend. I'll teach you how to skate, okay?"

"No time," Jiang Siyu refused.

Lu Fei felt a bit frustrated, "You don't have to be shy, I..."

"Can't you understand human speech?" Fu Yang blocked him with his body, "Get lost!"

"I wasn't talking to you, you..." Lu Fei had just argued two sentences when he was suddenly grabbed by someone; it was actually Yao Xiaotang, who had already dropped out of school.

"Lu Fei! Will you marry me? I only need two thousand yuan for the bride price," Yao Xiaotang really didn't want to marry an illiterate person who only knew how to operate an excavator; her life couldn't be ruined like this.

She had begged her mother for a long time to be allowed out today, saying she would definitely get a city person to marry her.

"Lu Fei, I beg you, we really loved each other once!"

Lu Fei felt disgusted just looking at her now, "Yao Xiaotang, I won't marry you. Besides, you know my mother's temper; even if you paid us to take you, my mother would never let me marry you."

In the past, Lu Fei had loathed his mother's interference, but it was quite useful to use as a shield now.

Sure enough, as soon as Yao Xiaotang heard the name Sun Chanjuan, she loosened her grip on Lu Fei's pant leg.

What to do? What was she supposed to do?

Yao Xiaotang had been driven nearly insane during this time.

Suddenly, she saw Jiang Sinian.

The boy was wearing a white down jacket, still shining in the crowd as always with his superior height and refined features.

She lunged at him, but Jiang Sinian dodged in time.

Yao Xiaotang knelt on the ground, begging bitterly, "Jiang Sinian, please marry me! Your family is rich; if you marry me, I'll listen to you in everything."

Jiang Sinian:...

Bai Mo laughed mockingly. She hooked her arm through Jiang Sinian's and looked down at Yao Xiaotang, "A girl should still have self-respect and self-love. It's impossible for any boy to like you when you're like this."

She didn't understand how a girl could be so... base.

Bai Mo felt that a girl should be like a winter plum, high above and held in the palm of one's hand; only then would she be cherished and protected.

In any case, it was absolutely impossible for her to be so humble in this life.

Yao Xiaotang raised her head in some pain to look at her, then suddenly laughed, "You are an only daughter at home, lacking neither money nor love, so of course you have the qualifications to talk about self-respect and self-love. If you were like me, you might be even more base than I am!"

"Unfortunately, I will never be like you."

Bai Mo curled her lips and pulled Jiang Sinian away first.

The classmates also slowly dispersed, and only then did Jiang Yue slowly walk in front of Yao Xiaotang.

"Although I don't know how great your predicament is, I want to share a sentence with you: My fate is determined by me, not by heaven. You can contemplate it yourself!"

Everyone's destiny is different, but this sentence is universal.

She did not intend to receive Yao Xiaotang's gratitude and left in a hurry after finishing.

"Siyu, come to my house for lunch at noon!" Bai Mo linked her arm with Jiang Siyu's, "The poached shrimp my mom makes is delicious."

"No need," Jiang Siyu found an excuse, "I still need to take some medicine when I get home; my stomach hasn't been feeling well these past few days."

Bai Mo felt some regret, "Alright then!"

"By the way," she suddenly remembered, "is your neighbor's illness any better?"

Jiang Siyu assumed her brother had already told her about Jiang Dacheng, so she said, "Uncle Jiang is already better, and he should be able to be discharged from the hospital in a couple of days."

Uncle Jiang?

Bai Mo's heart stirred slightly, but she did not show it on her face, "That's good, otherwise Jiang Yue would still have to be distracted from her studies."

"Yeah, the emergency treatment was timely, so there are no major problems."

After parting ways with Jiang Siyu, Bai Mo's expression turned cold; she stood by the side of the road, waiting for Jiang Sinian, who was following behind with his arms around his drinking buddies.

Very good, that day he had stood her up because of Jiang Yue's father.

And then he hid the truth from her; what kind of ghost was in his heart? What exactly was going on between him and Jiang Yue?
