Chapter 177: Poor Hanhan
Maybe it’s due to the strawberry marks on their faces, so even during class, Jiang Hanhan and Xia Ling, these two dumb lolis, couldn’t muster the courage to raise their heads, staying low the whole time.
As they lay there, the two dumb lolis ended up sleeping, completely disregarding the homeroom teacher lecturing from the platform. He Gongxing wanted to awaken them and scold them for being irresponsible, asking if their parents sent them there merely to nap?
But remembering this morning’s events, when the ever-so-young Xia Yu was chosen as Jiang Kekai’s secretary, things started looking better for Xia Yu. She wouldn’t need to hunt for jobs anymore; she’d land some cool indoor work right after graduation, probably with air conditioning at that! Plus, considering Jiang Kekai’s promising future, her job, as secretary, wouldn’t be short of perks…
Thus, He Gongxing didn’t dare to wake Xia Ling either, fearing she too might get similar treatment.
For the Jiang family’s second young lady—what more did Jiang Hanhan have to worry about regarding work? The importance of a good birth couldn’t be overstated here. Time flew by and before they knew it, it was time to go home.
“Little Yu, since you don’t do your homework anyway, remember to download ‘Honor of Kings’ and give it a shot. Once you hit Silver, I’ll show you the ropes as a Golden master.”
Yup, before leaving class, Gao Xiaotian made sure to remind Xia Yu to download the game. Otherwise, he’d have nothing to chat about with her. Dull!
“Got it.”
Xia Yu nodded seriously. “Ok, see you tomorrow.”
Gao Xiaotian left happily after bidding farewell. After all, it was finally dismissal time! How could he not be cheerful?
Right then, Xia Ling and Jiang Hanhan strolled over together. They saw everything between Gao Xiaotian and Xia Yu. Xia Ling found it curious, “Sis, why were you chatting so merrily? What are we talking about?”
Both had face prints, remnants of their nap; the morning’s attention was now a thing of the past. “The Honor of Kings.”
“Oh, sis too? Sis is a Golden and will carry you high!”
Hearing Xia Yu was into Honor of Kings got Xia Ling excited; sister carrying little sis was only natural! “Pfft, who isn’t a Golden in these times? My sister can fly Xiao Yu and us both, no sweat!”
Xia Ling wasn’t offended by Jiang Hanhan’s comment but rather intrigued—“Serious? What rank is your sis?” “Glory Grandmaster, hehe!”
“Bluffing!” Xia Ling said, stretching her hand to pinch this fibbing loli. “You’ve gotta learn some manners!”
This time, smart Jiang Hanhan bit Xia Ling’s finger and hummed, “I ain’t vegan.”
“…” Xia Ling, Xia Yu…
This caused Xia Ling to think of ways to torment her, sighing and pretending to be helpless, “Actually, just before I woke up and drooled, I didn’t wash hands…”
Jiang Hanhan stiffened, her watery eyes meeting Xia Ling’s. Realizing she might speak the truth—“Ahhhh!”
Jiang Hanhan let go of Xia Ling’s hand, running around like a maniac, hard to imagine this silly loli managed to grow up.
Grabbing tissues from Xia Yu’s table, Xia Jing smirked, “So, how’s my tiny paw? Yummy?”
“Eek, Xia Ling, you’re doing this again. If it weren’t for Xia Yu knowing my sis, you’d never leave this school.”
“Please, same goes for you not leaving this classroom.”
Thus, these two troublemakers returned to their feud, though not truly upset. “Hey, everyone’s gone, so why the holdout? Don’t want to go home?”
The familiar voice made Xia Yu, Xia Ling, and Jiang Hanhan turn around. Who else but Jiang Kekai stood at the door?
Ten minutes before dismissal, Jiang Kekai forcefully left class early to pick up Xia Yu and Xia Ling, wanting them to ride back home together.
Upstairs, after waiting so long and their phones set to silent, Jiang Kekai finally came upstairs. Seeing Xia Ling fighting her sister made her uneasy—so long as Xia Yu wouldn’t be harmed, Jiang Kekai was okay with anything. Thus Jiang Hanhan and Xia Ling temporarily halted their bickering.
Jiang Hanhan shamelessly ran to her sister and complained, “Sis, she doesn’t believe you’re a Glory Grandmaster. She tried pinching me!”
Jiang Kekai looked at both the strawberry marks on her face and Xia Ling’s, detaching herself from Jiang Hanhan and pushing her towards Xia Ling, “Carry on. You and Xia Yu go first.”
Pulling Xia Yu along, Jiang Kekai left, leaving Xia Ling and Jiang Hanhan bewildered. “Oh no, I’m not loved anymore.”
“Heh, now do you see how much charm my sister has? Accept it.”
“Pft, coz you lack skills! My sis snatched yours.”
“You say that again.”
“I say you lack the ability…”
Just as Xia Ling was about to retort, Jiang Kekai interrupted from outside, “Still coming or what? You tired of pecking each other nonstop all day? No car if you stay any longer.”
“Coming, sis wait for us.”
Worried by the prospect of no car and the vast city, Jiang Hanhan and Xia Ling followed Xia Yu and Jiang Kekai towards school parking.
Soon, the four girls reached their destination, boarding the Maserati driven by Zhao Wei. “To the Xia residence.”
Sure, Jiang Kekai said as she no longer planned frequent visits to the Jiang family, who knows what her grandfather would do otherwise. Jiang Hanhan didn’t mind following along to see their new house and Xia Yu’s place.
Wang Wenjuan and Xia Hong hadn’t come back from work yet, but Xia Ling and Xia Yu had keys and wouldn’t need to worry about entry.
Jiang Kekai had stayed some days in those rooms and, without adults nearby, comfortably entered Xia Yu’s room to get ready for a bath.
“I gave her loads of clothes, so it’s not like I’ll be n*ked,” she thought, piquing interest in her sister. “Sis, planning to stay here?”
“Why not?”
“I?”
“You may too, but I’m bunking with Xiao Yu. Join Xiao Ling if you want a bed here or go next door. That’s a new flat I bought.”
“…”
Jiang Hanhan felt betrayed; she was supposed to share a new house with her sister. Instead, she’d be alone with Xia Yu, leaving her in the dust.
She wasn’t keen on the new flat alone, especially at night.
Then Xia Ling hugged Jiang Hanhan, her small left hand pinching Jiang Hanhan’s cheek. “Call me sis. You get my room.”
“Hmph, I’m older—call me, or go solo in your big sis’s new flat.”
“Your size doesn’t matter. Here, I’m boss. Call me now or sleep alone.”
Suddenly, an idea struck her, “There’s a graveyard nearby; solo night scares.”
“Sis, she scared! Can we stay here instead?”
Rushing to Jiang Kekai, Jiang Hanhan pleaded, “Don’t leave, I wanna stay where Xiao Yu sleeps.”
No surprise; Jiang Hanhan dumped her sister with Xia Ling—”Stop fooling. Xiao Yu and I stay together. Nothing wrong with girls sharing.”
Now amused, Xia Ling happily dragged the rejected Jiang Hanhan into a room, “Alright, no new clothes here, try mine. Not abandoning you.”
“Stay away, this lady has standards.”
