Chapter 49
Chapter 49
The boys in the class were all watching An Nuonuo unblinkingly.
Her innocence was infused with a touch of cuteness.
Even though she was only in the second year of high school, her figure was well developed.
The hair that was originally yellow due to malnutrition had now become smooth and glossy.
She just stood there, without saying a word, a remarkably beautiful sight.
Initially, everyone’s attention was on Zhou Qingyue.
But with the appearance of An Nuonuo, Zhou Qingyue suddenly lost her charm.
And those female classmates, looking at An Nuonuo, couldn’t even afford to be jealous.
At least in terms of looks, temperament, and figure, she outshined all the girls in the class.
In the past, An Nuonuo was always invisible in the class.
This sudden attention left her retreating behind Jiang Xu, just poking her head out.
Zhou Qingyue looked at An Nuonuo with eyes full of jealousy and hostility.
Originally, she was the center of attention.
But once An Nuonuo came, she was nothing.
And when did such a pretty girl appear next to Jiang Xu?
What was their relationship?
These reactions were within Jiang Xu’s expectations.
He chuckled, “Really, you do not recognize her in a different attire? This is An Nuonuo.”
The moment his words fell, the scene fell silent.
Then bursts of laughter erupted.
“Stop joking.”
“An Nuonuo is completely different from her.”
“If she is An Nuonuo, I’ll call you dad.”contemporary romance
…
Jiang Xu pulled An Nuonuo out from behind him: “Say hello to everyone, they’re all your classmates.”
“He… hello everyone…” An Nuonuo’s face turned red, looking rather uneasy.
When An Nuonuo spoke up, the scene fell into a brief silence again.
Immediately followed by an uproar.
“Oh my god, it really is An Nuonuo!”
“Did you change your head?”
“This is too incredible.”
…
The ugly duckling, previously neglected in the class, had suddenly become a fairy.
Such a transformation was too drastic.
The ones feeling the worst were undoubtedly Li Honghong and Zhou Qingyue.
These two had always been filled with disdain and hostility towards An Nuonuo.
They thought An Nuonuo was just a country bumpkin, not worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as them.
However, the reality had forcefully slapped them in the face!
The girl whom they previously looked down upon had dazzled everyone.
Even the class teacher was taken aback for a moment.
Then he smiled and said, “Let’s go, get in the car.”
Fu Yanjie hooked Jiang Xu’s neck.
He menacingly said, “Did you know about An Nuonuo’s real appearance all along?
And made your move in advance?”
Jiang Xu remained silent, his face wreathed in smiles.
“Damn it, Jiang Xu, you’re really asking for it.”
The tone of Fu Yanjie was filled with bitterness.
Seeing such a beautiful girl by his brother’s side, Fu Yanjie felt uneasy.
He feared his brother’s deprivation and also feared his brother’s Range Rover.
“Damn it!” Zhou Qingyue stomped her foot angrily.
Li Honghong felt indignant, “What a cunning woman.
She must have dressed shabby on purpose for a year just to outshine everyone today. What a shameless girl!”
It is said that narrow-minded people see everything else as narrow-minded.
Zhou Qingyue was not content to let An Nuonuo take all her limelight.
She gave Li Honghong a look.
She immediately understood.
She walked up to Jiang Xu.
She flourished the book in her hand, “You probably don’t know yet, our Qingyue has signed a contract with the Story Club.
Her work has already been published in it. Impressive, right?”
Jiang Xu was expressionless, “Oh.”
An Nuonuo, in awe, exclaimed, “Wow, amazing.”
Zhou Qingyue was quite dissatisfied with Jiang Xu’s reaction.
She carefully examined his facial expressions.
She tried to read something from his face, but was disappointed.
Zhou Qingyue suspected he was pretending.
His face didn’t betray much.
In reality, he might have been in deep admiration for her.
Yes, it must be so.
Didn’t that country-looking woman have awe written across her face?
Some people always think too highly of themselves.
Li Honghong said again, “I guess Qingyue is probably the only one in our high school who could sign with Story Club.
Talent is always more important than looks.
She is the pride of our whole class.
Jiang Xu, aren’t you going to say anything?”
Zhou Qingyue straightened up.
Jiang Xu was speechless, “Brilliant, brilliant! Let’s just get on the bus and stop wasting time.”
As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards the van with Fu Yanjie arm in arm.
Li Honghong sneered and told Zhou Qingyue, “He must be feeling inferior now.”
The corner of Zhou Qingyue’s mouth curled up into a smile.
“Hey Jiang Xu, you dropped something.”
A boy walking behind Jiang Xu saw a piece of paper falling out of his pocket.
He picked it up out of curiosity and read what was written.
“Royalty statement, Jiang Xu (pen name, Sui Sui An Ping), June royalties, pre-tax 1,500.
From the work ‘Those Miserable Years of Youth’…holy moly?!”
This boy’s voice was loud enough to catch everyone’s attention.
They all crowded around.
Almost everyone in the class had read this novel.
Ten years from now, such a story might seem cliched and melodramatic.
But for now, it was pretty explosive.
It was similar to the impact of ‘Broken’ when it was first released.
Those who had read it, were all obsessed with it.
Jiang Xu himself was totally unaware that he had already accumulated a substantial fan base.
The students surrounding him looked at him in disbelief when they saw the royal statement.
“Holy moly, Sui Sui An Ping is Jiang Xu?”
“I have always idolized him.”
“Ah, I thought it was written by a middle-aged man.”
“My god, is Jiang Xu actually so talented?”
If Zhou Qingyue publishing a novel on Story Club was like setting off a firecracker in the lake,
then Jiang Xu was like triggering a mountain explosion.
There was simply no comparison between the two.
“What, Jiang Xu is Sui Sui An Ping?!” Zhou Qingyue was shaken.
She rushed to grab the royalty statement.
Looking at it, her eyes went blurry and her face felt hot.
Turned out, Jiang Xu had signed with Story Club as well.
And his royalties were several times of her own.
In terms of the popularity of their works, there was no comparison between them either.
She felt so embarrassed for thinking highly of herself.
She thought Jiang Xu would look at her differently once he knew she had signed with Story Club.
But now, she was clearly the clown.
Li Honghong was similarly shocked by this news.
Ever since she read ‘Those Miserable Years of Youth’, she had been a fan of Jiang Xu’s writing.
She often fantasized the author to be a very handsome older brother.
Who would have thought things would turn out this way.
Her feelings were beyond complicated.
Jiang Xu saw everyone’s reactions.
Then he slapped Fu Yanjie, who was standing there like a statue, on his shoulder, “I remember you said once.
If ‘Those Miserable Years of Youth’ was written by me, you would call me dad. You can start now.”
