Chapter 48: If You’ve Bullied Her, You Can’t Bully Me Anymore
Even Jiang Ning couldn’t hold back.
Covering her belly, she burst into loud laughter.
She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her finger: “You two are really something else. Xin Yang, your dad just told you to study more, right? It’s clearly the Tyndall effect, and you come up with Daliyuan. Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter.”
Xin Yang: “…”
He belatedly felt a bit embarrassed.
He pursed his lips: “Cough, stop laughing. Look at you, you have no image left. Since when do you laugh so loudly?”
Jiang Ning bent down to pick up firewood: “Why can’t I laugh so loudly? I’m not a zombie. Alright, let’s deliver the firewood.”
The four of them picked up quite a bit.
By the time they reached the gathering place, they had already set up the vegetables and the pot.
Xie Jingyan helped start the fire.
Xin Yang looked at the chopped vegetables: “Where are my green beans?”
Sui Tang glanced at the green beans that had been cut into segments.
“Your green beans are a bit old.”
“Not old, just right. Su Wanyuan, can you stir-fry them?”
Su Wanyuan nodded: “Yes, just wait to eat.”
“Haha, then stir-fry them quickly. I’m starving.”
It had to be said that Su Wanyuan had some real skill in stir-frying vegetables.
The rich aroma even attracted quite a few teachers and classmates.
Old Li stood by the pot with his hands behind his back, nodding repeatedly: “Student Su not only studies well but also has strong practical skills.”
Su Wanyuan was a bit shy: “Thank you for the praise, Teacher. Why don’t you eat with our group? We picked a lot of vegetables.”
Since the students invited him, Old Li could only nod and agree.
The vegetables were almost done stir-frying when they realized there wasn’t enough firewood.
Xin Yang guarded the pot and refused to leave no matter what.
Sui Tang pulled He Shang and Zhou Yuchu along, and the three of them played a game.
The firewood-picking group was left with only Jiang Ning and Xie Jingyan.
The two of them could only pick enough firewood to use in a short time.
But there was basically no firewood in the outskirts, so Jiang Ning had to go deeper in.
Not long after Jiang Ning and the others left, kindhearted people gave the remaining firewood to Su Wanyuan.
She looked at the woods with some worry: “I shouldn’t have let them go.”
Xin Yang drooled, slurping: “It’s fine. With Xie Jingyan there, they should be back soon.”
“These green beans are done, right? Serve them up quick, time to eat. I’m so hungry.”
Su Wanyuan took a look and felt they were about ready; a bit tender was tastier.
“Should we wait for them?”
Gu Lanli stepped forward: “No need to wait. We have so many people here, and the teachers are here too. We’ll save some for them later.”
Seeing that it was already five o’clock.
Everyone started eating.
Su Wanyuan and Chen Shuyan’s cooking was pretty good, and since they were indeed hungry, everyone put Jiang Ning and Xie Jingyan out of their minds.
In the woods.
Jiang Ning walked ahead a distance and realized that this Ninth Middle School group were real bandits.
There were no dry branches on the ground, not even grass left; it was cleaned spotless.
“Where are we supposed to pick firewood?” Jiang Ning complained, clutching her starved-flat belly.
She actually wanted to taste Su Wanyuan’s cooking too; it really smelled so good.
Xie Jingyan had already picked up quite a bit.
He looked around: “If you got serious, we might be able to go back early.”
Once things quieted down.
Jiang Ning couldn’t help but want to gossip.
She had been grinding plot points for so long.
The interaction between the male lead and female lead was practically zero.
Even when she targeted Su Wanyuan, he acted like a blind man, pretending not to see.
“Xie Jingyan, what are you thinking every time you see me bullying Su Wanyuan?”
Jiang Ning decided to probe.
Seeing the youth ignore her, she leaned in closer: “Tell me, do you especially want to protect her but feel powerless, so you can only endure it, waiting for the day you have the ability to fiercely shield her under your wings!”
Just imagining this beautiful plot made Jiang Ning almost tear up with emotion.
Enduring male lead x resilient female lead.
Too shippable.
Xie Jingyan looked at her with eyes like she was an idiot: “Watch less romance dramas; it hurts your brain.”
Jiang Ning: “…”
“Don’t think I won’t really get angry. I’ll give you one more chance. Tell me your real thoughts, or you can forget about the remaining ten thousand yuan this month!”
“We signed a contract. If you don’t pay, you owe ten times compensation.” Xie Jingyan bent down to pick up firewood without even lifting his head.
Jiang Ning: “…”
This emotion… really too stable, no ups and downs.
He straightened up: “Do you really want to know what I’m thinking?”
Jiang Ning looked at him expectantly.
About to plead for the female lead, right?
Ha!
She was going to bully even harder.
Xie Jingyan curved his lips at her: “If you’ve bullied her, you can’t bully me anymore, got it?”
Jiang Ning: “…”
She nearly cracked.
“If you keep this up, Su Wanyuan really won’t like you. Just wait to regret it.”
Xie Jingyan actually breathed a sigh of relief: “That would be great. If she really liked me, my sky would collapse. Being tormented by you alone is better than you teaming up with Gu Lanli; I’d be saved.”
Jiang Ning: “???”
Impervious to reason, this kid.
In this angst novel, exactly who is getting tormented!
Jiang Ning felt like she was the biggest victim in this book.
She looked pallid.
Wanting to say something but not wanting to face Xie Jingyan’s mouth.
She had said it from the first glance at this kid: she felt he could lie on the ground cursing at her for three days and nights.
“Hurry up or the sun will set, and we won’t have any vegetable soup left to drink when we get back.”
Jiang Ning: “…”
While she was worrying about his relationship issues here, he was thinking about whether he’d get a sip of vegetable soup.
“Eat, eat, eat, all you think about is eating. Why don’t you just eat yourself to death!” Jiang Ning grumbled.
She picked up firewood far away from him.
The two wandered in the woods and got lost for half an hour.
By the time they reached the main group, it was almost seven.
The sun still had some afterglow; it was still slightly bright.
Jiang Ning hugged the firewood and was shocked to see a pile of people lying scattered on the ground.
“No way, I just went to pick some firewood, and you all got assassinated?”
Xie Jingyan put the firewood to one side and his expression darkened slightly at the scene.
Jiang Ning walked up and checked each one: “Damn, do you still have consciousness? What happened? Who did this, so ruthless as to wipe you all out.”
Because their spot was a bit remote.
The other students had all organized and left; only their team was still here.
Old Li groaned and weakly raised his hand.
Jiang Ning pushed through the crowd and precisely reached Old Li.
Old Li’s voice was weak: “Hit 1…1…2…”
Jiang Ning’s face turned serious as she said to Xie Jingyan: “Quick, get me a notebook and pen.”
Xie Jingyan thought Jiang Ning had discovered something.
He brought the bag over to Jiang Ning’s side and took out a notebook and pen from inside.
Jiang Ning looked serious: “Teacher, go ahead. I’ll make sure to write your last words clearly.”
Old Li: “…”
Xie Jingyan: “…”
His eyes rolled back, and he passed out directly.
“Cousin…”
“Tangtang!”
Jiang Ning rushed to Sui Tang’s side.
Anxiously: “Hold on, is there anything you want to say? Is it the bank card password you want to tell me?”
Sui Tang’s face turned green, clutching her stomach: “Green beans… poisoned!”
I sped up and wrote it, I want my own complete endings too, babies, I’ll try my best.
