Chapter 11 – “Come on, it’s already been washed clean.”

The farce settled down. Jiang Lu closed his eyes, looked at the tea all over the floor, and his heart moved slightly.

He glanced sideways at Qi Anan. Sure enough, her clear, round eyes looked at him without blinking, full of worry.

Jiang Lu lowered his head as if he had been electrocuted and walked out the door quickly.

“Hey, Jiang Lu.” Qi Anan wanted to catch up, but Qi Yan grabbed her.

“You, come back. What’s wrong with you? You dare to get into trouble. What would you do if I wasn’t here today if you were bullied?”

“Oh, it’s because you were here that I dared.” Qi Anan pursed her lips, “Brother, don’t listen to that vulgar man’s rubbish. Jiang Lu is my classmate and a good boy. He’s not the kind of mess that came out of his mouth.”

Qi Yan glanced at her: “I will judge for myself what kind of person he is.”

“No wonder you wanted to come. Did you know that the person I wanted to sign was him?”

Qi Anan smiled and pinched Qi Yan’s cuffs: “Brother, I knew, but my classmate is in unusual circumstances. I’m afraid that if something happens, you won’t sign him. What would my classmate do in the future?”

Qi Yan stared at her: “Am I someone who would decide around a few words of a person’s slanderous gossip? Don’t be so reckless outside in the future. What should I do if you suffer a loss?”

You just humiliated Jiang Lu in the novel by listening to slanderous gossip. Still, it was also because of “Qi Anan” and her slanderous gossip that you listened to. Of course, Qi Anan couldn’t say this. She accepted it and obediently responded: “I know la, I won’t dare anymore, then I’ll take a look at my classmate.”

She ran after she finished speaking, so fast that Qi Yan couldn’t even grab her. He could only stare at Qi Anan angrily, planning to wait until she got home to settle the account.

As a super mother fan, Qi Anan’s understanding of Jiang Lu could be described as very profound. When she left the door, she went straight to the bathroom. Sure enough, Jiang Lu washed his hands in front of the public sink.

He had just grasped the man’s wrist with his palm, and it was already scrubbed until it was red by him.

And he seemed to not perceive it. He was still rubbing his palms vigorously.

“Jiang Lu, what are you doing?!” No mother could watch her cub abuse themselves and not be concerned. Qi Anan rushed up like an arrow and took Jiang Lu’s hand.

His fingers were pale and cold, but his palms were hot and flushed. That temperature seemed to carry a sense of despair.

“Come on, why are you doing it so hard? It’s become red like this. It’s already been washed clean.” Qi Anan took Jiang Lu away from the sink, drew two paper towels from the side, and put them in his palm.

Jiang Lu finally reacted. Qi Anan’s little hands were holding his palm. The soft touch was inconceivable clean, and he retracted his hand like an electric shock.

The tissue in the palm of his hand was already wet, and he slowly held it in the palm of his hand.

Jiang Lu felt his hands had only been washed clean now, and intense nausea gradually disappeared.

“I’m leaving.” After a pause, Jiang Lu said with a muffled voice. “Hurry up and go home with your brother.”

Qi Anan looked at Jiang Lu’s face. Although his complexion was still a little pale, he was much calmer than just now. She told him anxiously: “Don’t overthink, don’t abuse your hand anymore.”

Jiang Lu nodded: “I know.”

Qi Anan smiled again, like a little sun: “And Jiang Lu, thank you just now.”

Jiang Lu knew what Qi Anan was talking about. The man was furious and waved his fist to hit Qi Anan. He didn’t even have time to think about it, and he stopped him like a conditioned reflex.

She thanked him for what he did. He hadn’t said thank you to her yet.

Jiang Lu stared at Qi Anan’s smiling face. She raised her small white face, her eyes were curved, and her smile was very contagious.

He suppressed the urge to bend the corners of his lips and whispered: “Your brother is also here. He won’t let you be hurt anyway.”

He attempted it twice and wanted to thank you for rushing out to protect him, but he had never said such a thing. It was too gentle and intimate. In the end, he was too embarrassed to mention it, so he had to keep it firmly in his heart.

“Anan, what kind of family background does your classmate have?” When Jiang Lu left, Qi Yan asked Qi Anan on the way home.

Qi Anan thought for a while, omitted Jiang Lu’s life, and mentioned everything she could say about his situation. Even though Jiang Lu had a not-so-glorious origin, this couldn’t hide his own excellence. Looking at a person shouldn’t be just looking at his family background.

After Qi Yan heard it, he was silent and didn’t say anything, but Qi Anan wanted to know what they were talking about: “Brother, how did your contract go? Is it going well? How many years have you signed?”

Qi Yan said: “He didn’t sign it.”

“Hmm? He didn’t sign it?” Qi Anan immediately sat up straight and leaned toward Qi Yan. “Why? Did you bully others?”

“You sit up straight for me. Don’t be fussy. You’ll get hurt later. “Qi Yan helped Qi Anan back like a father. “I bully him? Obviously, it’s him who bullied me, and he offered not to sign it. I don’t blame myself for this.”

Cub himself proposed not to sign? Why was that? Qi Anan couldn’t figure it out. Obviously, it was described in the book that he wanted to sign this contract. Still, in the end, it wasn’t achieved because of external factors. Now that the obstacles had been cleared away, why would cub give up on his own?

Could it be that there was a better opportunity, and she didn’t know? Qi Anan thought it would be good if this was the case, anyway, as long as he was happy.

Qi Anan didn’t speak for a long time. Qi Yan glanced at her twice while waiting for the light. He couldn’t suppress the worries in his heart. After thinking about it for a long time, he finally said: “Anan, tell your brother the truth. Are you in puppy love? You and this classmate, you…”

“Of course not.” Qi Anan’s eyes widened. “Brother, what are you thinking about? How could I fall in love with Jiang Lu?”

It was a very unreliable thing to think about, okay? Qi Anan frowned, looking at Qi Yan with an expression of “you’re impure go so far as to indulge in flights of fancy.”

(t/n: to indulge in flights of fancy: to let one’s imagination run wild.)

Qi Yan didn’t believe it very much: “Then why do you care about him so much? And you treat him so well.” So good, it was a bit outrageous.

“I treat him well, that’s because…” Qi Anan settled down for a while. It was because it was a CP she really liked. Her son and daughter were her favorites, and they all had to be spoiled to death, okay?

To be honest, there is no way to tell. Qi Anan can only explain: “I’ve been wronged, brother. How can you just think blindly like this? It’s just that our relationship is very good. He’s just like my son, you must understand. You have good buddies who are so close that they want to be each other’s dads, too.”

Qi Yan: “…”

He didn’t expect his sister, who looked petite and pampered, to not bother about trifles: “Okay, I believe you if you’re so magnanimous. But I want to tell you one more thing. You can be friends with him. I won’t stop you, but you’re absolutely not allowed to fall in love with him.”

(t/n: to not bother about trifles: not paying attention to the little things in life.)

Although Qi Anan didn’t intend to fall in love with Jiang Lu, she was curious: “Why? Didn’t you say you believed he was a good boy?”

Good boy. that depended on where one stood to judge. If it was from a man’s perspective, he greatly admired Jiang Lu. His temperament and presence were out of the ordinary at a young age. The golden carp isn’t someone of no particular talent. His future was immeasurable.

(t/n: 金麟岂是池中物 The golden carp isn’t someone of no particular talent: It is a metaphor for people who aren’t ordinary people, who have ambition, and they will rise to the top when they meet the right time, place, and people.)

“He’s a brilliant person, and he will also be tough to control in the future. Whether he’s good or not, we’ll see.”

Qi Yan glanced at Qi Anan as he said: “Anyway, you must not fall in love with him. Just like you, you can be played to death by him.”
