Chapter 30

Jiang Cheng walked toward Su Manyao, that green silhouette right before his eyes, he had already smelled the woody fragrance drifting from her hair ends.

"Classmate, hello."

Suddenly a female student came over and patted Jiangshan on the shoulder; he turned around and saw that it was Liuruyi, the class monitor of the Music Department.

Jiang Cheng showed a smile: "Hello, what's up?"

Liuruyi said: "Classmate, I'm Liuruyi, the class monitor of Class 2 of Year 2-3 of the Music Department."

"Hello, Jiang Cheng."

Then, Liuruyi glanced at Su Manyao's back, Xiao Sen said to Jiang Cheng: "Classmate, can you come with me for a moment? Please help if needed."

"All right, no problem." Jiang Cheng said.

Earlier he had asked others what they needed help with; now the other party came to him voluntarily, refusing would definitely be inappropriate.

Following Liuruyi to the row of houses behind the barbecue stove, Liu Luyi walked into an open storeroom; inside was a refrigerator, on the floor a large puddle of melted water, plus a mess of footprints.

"Could it be that they want me to move things?" Jiang Cheng thought.

But after arriving at the room, Liuruyi turned and said: "Jiang Cheng classmate, you already knew Professor Su before, right?"

"Yeah, we already knew each other." Jiang Cheng looked at him doubtfully.

Liuruyi said: "Classmate, don't misunderstand; it's like this: Professor Su has never participated in activities with us before; this is the first time. If you know Professor Su, could you look after him for me? If you have any requests or need help, just tell me anytime."

"Is this a problem? I'm looking after the Yujie, do I still need someone else to ask?" "Don't worry, no problem." Jiang Cheng didn't want to say more, readily agreed.

"Okay, thank you, Jia Cheng classmate!" Liuruyi showed a very nice smile.

She then said: "I'll go get busy then; there's still a lot of barbecue that needs to be thawed with warm water."

As she spoke and turned to leave, the floor was covered with thawed water; she slipped, lost balance, fell backward; Jiang Cheng, quick-eyed and quick-handed, grabbed her and steadied her.

Possibly because she was flustered, Liuruyi turned and flung herself into Jiang Cheng's arms.

Outside, Su Peng's hungry stomach growled; I came over intending to see when the barbecue would be ready.

Passing by here, I poked my head into the room and just happened to see this scene.

"No. I just passed by, really just passed by, sorry."

Su Peng was dazed, hurried to explain! Liuruyi's face flushed to her neck, she broke free from Jiang Cheng's embrace: "Classmate, you've misunderstood, it's not what you think."

"Don't say it!" Su Peng waved his hand, "Really no need to say, I know it's not like that!"

"I" Liuruyi realized she couldn't explain clearly, flustered she said: "Then you two chat, I have things to do, I'll go first."

After Liuruyi left.

Su Peng walked over and put his arm around Jiang Cheng's shoulders: "Sure, Old Jiang, when did this happen? We didn't hear a whisper!"

"You misunderstood." That's the only way to say it.

"Okay, okay, I misunderstood." Su Peng obviously didn't believe Jiang Cheng's words, wearing a lecherous smile he said: "Could it be that this is actually your online girlfriend?"

Jiang Cheng gave him an annoyed glance, repeated: "You misunderstood."

Su Peng still smirked: "I get it, I get it, I misunderstood."

The two talked as they walked outside together. Su Peng seemed even happier than Jiang Cheng.

Because he finally figured something out: Old Jiang took that Music Department bus for this girl from the Music Department.

It seems I also misunderstood Old Jiang.

Old Jiang already has his sweetheart, and they've already gotten together!

"Ah, right."

Su Peng suddenly had an idea, said to Jiang Cheng: "Old Jiang, are we brothers?"

Jiang Cheng turned his head to see Su Peng with a serious expression, his heart tightened.

"What's up? Are we going to argue over calling you brother or brother-in-law?" Before he could speak, Su Peng continued: "I have a favor to ask you, take good care of my sister!"

Jiang Cheng startled! What situation? What happened? Why does it seem like he's entrusting a female relative? "What are you up to? Is someone asking you to go to your death?" Jiang Cheng asked.

Su Peng said: "No joke, I always feel there's a yellow-haired guy trying to mess with my sister; I'm afraid my sister will be deceived by a yellow-haired guy, my sister doesn't let me follow her, you go by his side and help me keep an eye on her!"

Jiang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

So that's how it is?

I got excited for nothing. He really thought Su Peng was about to call him brother-in-law just now. Jiang Cheng solemnly patted Su Peng's shoulder: "Brother, rest assured, your sister is mine, I'll look after her!"

"Old Jiang, brother I trust you!" Su Peng reached out and gave Jiangzhen a punch on the chest, then hehe said: "Then I'll leave it to you, my sister's still waiting for me, I won't say more."

Watching Su Peng run off, Jiang Cheng waved his hand.

"Brother, just rest assured."

Then he turned direction, walked toward the aloof Yujie, feeling completely relaxed at the moment.

This isn't me sneaking food; they all let me come. Jiang Cheng returned to the lawn of the little earth slope, seeing most people already sitting on the ground, the ground laid with camping cloths, on top were plates with fruit.

Su Manyao was still standing there alone, blowing in the evening wind, arms crossed, her little finger hooked on her sunglasses.

Jiang Cheng glanced over, saw that the camping gear had been placed in the middle, he went over and took one, also picking up two apples along the way.

At the same time, the counselor of Class 5 of the Philosophy Department, holding a peeled apple, jogged toward Su Manyao.

When they set out earlier, he had wanted to ride in the same car as Su Manyao; this was his rare chance to get close to Su Mengyao, but he didn't seize it.

Now everyone was eating fruit, while Su Manyao stood alone; he knew the opportunity had come! "Professor Su, this apple is sweet, just peeled, have one."

Su Mengyao gazed into the distance, not knowing what she was thinking; hearing someone call her, she turned her head, glanced at the counselor's apple in his hand, and said in a faint dark tone: "Thank you, I don't like apples."

Her language was polite, but her words and demeanor were coldly distant, keeping people at arm's length.

The counselor felt a bit embarrassed, thinking his luck was bad, whatever he picked turned out wrong—how did he end up with an apple the professor doesn't like? After being rejected, the counselor could only take the apple back, and from afar watched Su Manyao's back.

But then he noticed that their class's Jiang Cheng walked over, and he was still holding an apple.

The counselor thought, this Jiang Cheng kid, usually looks honest and plain, not fond of talking, actually wants to become a rebellious disciple to take advantage and flirt with the goddess of Modu Daxue!

However he thought this kid might just be outgoing once, and that would earn him a lifetime of introversion. He peeled the apple, Professor Su didn't want it; Jiang Cheng didn't peel his apple, so how would Professor Su want it? (End of chapter)
