Taking advantage of the beauty being poor, fooling her into being my girlfriend

Chapter 32: This Rival is a Threat, But Not Much

Jiang Xu: "Speak."

Fu Yanjie: "Your competitor was consistently second in his grades in his higher senior year.

He's great at basketball and knows how to play the guitar. He is tall and handsome, a fierce competitor. Be careful."

"Oh, it's him," Jiang Xu realized.

"The one always lagging behind me by twenty-thirty points?"

He never paid attention to who came second.

After all, he was ahead, why bother about the others?

Fu Yanjie: "..."

Well, he thought he'd overthought it.

This kid had no disadvantages, only advantages as far as the eye could see.

Fu Yanjie rubbed his hands anxiously: "Can we talk about the clothing business?

I'm about to burst from keeping it in. "

Such a chance to boast, to show off in front of others, he hadn't been able to reveal it.

It was unbearably uncomfortable.

Jiang Xu waved his hand dismissively, speechless: "Go on, go on."

Fu Yanjie's eyes lit up: "Great!"

Then he saw the class monitor walking behind them.

He grabbed his hand: "Class monitor, are you going home?"

The class monitor found it a bit strange, but nodded yes.

Fu Yanjie chuckled: "How did you know I made over three thousand yuan selling clothes a few days ago?"

Class monitor: "???"

Fu Yanjie, with rosy cheeks, waved his hand in a pseudo-mysterious way and said:

"Oh, it's really not a big deal. Pocket change, pocket change. But it was quite effortless. Not worth mentioning, hehehe."

Class monitor: "???"

Fu Yanjie then saw the study commissioner.

Ran over, grinning wide to reveal his white teeth: "Study commissioner, how did you place in the mock exam this time?"

Study commissioner: "Tenth, why?"

Fu Yanjie waved his hand: "Yes, yes. I made over three thousand yuan selling clothes a few days ago. Not worth mentioning, hehe."

Study Commissioner: "???"

The guy's crazy.

Jiang Xu shook his head.

An Nuonuo left first, waiting at the school entrance.

But.

When Jiang Xu exited, he saw An Nuonuo standing next to a sunny and cheerful boy.

At first glance, he was very eye-catching.

At that moment, he was chatting and laughing with An Nuonuo.

A lot of girls passed by, their eyes twinkling with little stars.

But when they looked at An Nuonuo, their eyes reflected envy or jealousy.

That must be the perennial second place holder.

From his gaze, Jiang Xu could see adoration.

Jiang Xu found it strange, as it didn't make sense.

An Nuonuo was still so ordinary.

Apart from himself who saw the pearl in the dust.

Why would anyone else like this little silly girl?

With a puzzled look, Jiang Xu walked over smiling: "Nuonuo, have you been waiting long?"

Then he casually took her backpack and put it in the basket: "You can leave it with me, it's heavy."

An Nuonuo shook her head: "No, I just arrived, thank you."

"Who is this?" Jun Yue looked at Jiang Xu.

Jiang Xu was also looking at him.

As their eyes met, it seemed like arcs of electricity were jostling in the air.

An Nuonuo didn't notice the tension.

She said cheerfully: "Brother Junyue, this is my deskmate Jiang Xu.

He's a very nice person, has helped me a lot. He is my best friend."

"So, you're Jiang Xu." Jun Yue said, chuckling: "Thank you for looking after my little sister!"

He deliberately stressed the words 'my little sister'.

"Oh, so you're Jun Yue!" Jiang Xu feigned surprise: "Your name is famous, I hear it often."

Jun Yue was not feeling good at all.

The words were pointed, and Jun Yue of course understood.

Was he implying his perennial second place status?

Jun Yue wisely chose to change the subject: "Let's not block the entrance, time to head home."

As a student who topped the grade, it was apparent Jiang Xu spent most of his time studying.

"From today on, I'll take over the duty of taking Nuonuo home."

"Really?" In an exaggerated manner, Jiang Xu asked, "Is there a need to spend additional time after school for studying?

No way, no way."

Jun Yue: "..."

At this point, even if An Nuonuo wasn't very quick on the uptake, she realized there was tension between these two.

In a weak voice, she said, "That's not necessary, I can go home by myself."

With a bicycle, she could get home fast.

Plus, she wouldn't need to take the shortcut anymore, which significantly increased her safety.

"No can do!"

Both exclaimed simultaneously, startling An Nuonuo.

Immediately after, the two of them realized their loss of composure.

Rapidly, they regained their cheerful schoolboy demeanors.

In the end, both of them escorted An Nuonuo home together.

One on the left, one on the right.

Caught in the middle, An Nuonuo felt quite uncomfortable, a very strange sensation indeed.

The biking speed significantly increased.

All three were silent, creating a slightly weird atmosphere.

Once they reached the fork in the road, Jiang Xu waved at An Nuonuo, "See you the day after tomorrow."

"Mm." An Nuonuo nodded, "Be careful on your way."

Jiang Xu glanced at Jun Yue and headed towards his home.

Unmoved, Jun Yue said, "You two have plans this Sunday?"

"Yes." An Nuonuo replied, "Brother Junyue, see you tomorrow then."

Jun Yue initially wanted to inquire further.

However, considering that his intentions might become too clear,

and possibly scare An Nuonuo, he decided against it.

Jun Yue said goodbye with a smile on his face.

After returning home, Jiang Xu started cooking.

Then he opened his phone and saw a message from Lin Nan.

Are you there?

Jiang Xu replied to her: I'm here, Editor Lin. What's up?

On the other end, Lin Nan waited for a while without getting a response, and was getting quite anxious.

Seeing Jiang Xu's reply, she immediately perked up.

She typed quickly: Your book is doing really well.

When are you going to send me the beginning of the second book?

If the quality isn't extremely bad, it should at least net 50 yuan per thousand words.

Jiang Xu: I've sent it, please check.

Lin Nan: ???

Jiang Xu had already written the beginning and saved it in his email.

He was just waiting for Lin Nan to discuss a raise.

Lin Nan paused for a moment, then immediately opened her email.

She saw the draft Jiang Xu had sent her.

Clicked it open.

The novel was titled "Youth and Sorrow".

Just by the name, it felt rather emo.

Lin Nan started reading with intense concentration.

The plot of the novel was quite melodramatic.

The male lead liked the first female character.

The first female character liked the second male character.

The second female character liked the first male character.

On the other hand, the second male character liked the second female character.

The main selling point was its complicated relationships.

Even though it was melodramatic, there weren't many of this type on the market.

There would definitely be high demand.

Jiang Xu was not worried about its performance.

At the beginning, Jiang Xu wrote four chapters and attached an outline for Lin.

Lin Nan quickly finished reading and was left yearning for more.

Her eyes sparkled.

She had an instinct that this novel would be more popular than the last one.

So.

After considering for a moment.

Lin Nan quoted Jiang Xu a price that took him by surprise.
