Gazing at An Nuonuo’s perfect profile, Jiang Xu’s heart stirred.
He proposed, “Nuonuo, why don’t we pull an all-nighter tonight?”
Immediately, An Nuonuo recoiled half a step, eyeing Jiang Xu warily.
She looked as if she was ready to call the police at any moment.
Jiang Xu’s face darkened, “I meant, why don’t we stay up all night working on our writing, how about that?”
Ever since his reincarnation, he had always been very disciplined.
Unless there was something crucial, he made a point of sleeping on time.
Winter break was fast approaching, and it was about time for a little craziness. “You!” An Nuonuo stamped her foot, making the world before Jiang Xu blur momentarily. “You did that on purpose.”
The young girl’s face was as gorgeous as the evening glow, ensnaring Jiang Xu’s entire attention.
Everything else vanished from around them.
Aside from the beauty before him, nothing else mattered.
“Nuonuo, I’m finding it hard to breathe,” Jiang Xu murmured to himself.
Immediately, An Nuonuo tensed up, holding onto Jiang Xu’s hand without thinking, “What’s wrong with you?”
Jiang Xu: “Because you’re too beautiful.”
An Nuonuo:”!!!”
Releasing Jiang Xu’s hand, she accelerated on her bicycle, leaving him behind.
Where Jiang Xu couldn’t see, the corners of her mouth lifted into a smile that could sugarcane any heart.
Upon reaching their secret base, the pair made their way to the market to buy groceries.
After returning, they cooked.
Jiang Xu was the chef today, cooking for an extra person.
The meal would have to be delivered to Li Yuanjuan later.
According to An Nuonuo, the beauty salon Li Yuanjuan owned performed decently.
She was quite occupied currently, often not having the time to eat.
Whenever they found the time, they would bring food over to her.
Meanwhile, An Nuonuo was busy with their homework.
At half-past seven in the evening, the two of them arrived at the beauty salon opened by Li Yuanjuan.
Jiang Xu let his gaze roam, silently nodding in approval.
The establishment was quite vast, with a distinct style of its own.
Whether it was the receptionist or the attendants, they were all dressed very stylishly.
An Nuonuo’s soft voice reached his ears: “Do you like what you see?”
Jiang Xu could smell jealousy in the air.
The young girl’s brows knitted slightly.
Jiang Xu couldn’t resist pinching her nose. “What’s the matter, are you jealous? “I am not!” An Nuonuo turned her head away to hide her guilt.
Just as Jiang Xu was about to tease her some more, Li Yuanjuan appeared.
“Oh my! You kids are so busy with your studies, there’s no need to bring me food.”
Jiang Xu assessed Li Yuanjuan.
She seemed to be in good spirits.
It looked genuine.
While she might not have entirely moved on from her divorce, she appeared to be in a much better place compared to the beginning.
Jiang Xu laughed, “Auntie, it’s nothing. I treat you just like my own mom.” “You’re such a sweet talker,” Li Yuanjuan laughed, grinning from ear to ear. “Once you two graduate from college, you can consider getting married.” “Mom, he and I…” An Nuonuo blushed, attempting to explain the nature of their relationship.
But when she tried to speak, she didn’t know how to explain it.
After all, the nature of their relationship had changed on the night of Jiang Xu’: eighteenth birthday.
Noticing her daughter’s blush, Li Yuanjuan realized the relationship between the two must have progressed.
She was thrilled.
She prided herself on her good judgment of character.
Except when it came to An Feng.
She was certain that her daughter would be happy with Jiang Xu.
As Li Yuanjuan ate, Jiang Xu’s eyes suddenly narrowed.
He noticed that her right middle finger was void of nail polish while the other finger nails were adorned.
No way, surely not?
It couldn’t… be what he was thinking, could it?
Even if it really was what he thought, it would be understandable, after all…
Not overthinking it, Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo rolled up their sleeves and enthusiastically lent a helping hand.
Aside from catering to her customers and balancing her books, Li Yuanjuan didn’t have much time for anything else.
She didn’t really trust outsiders, so she took care of all the bookkeeping by herself.
By the time Li Yuanjuan finished eating, the two of them had already done all the accounts.
“You educated people are really incredible,” Li Yuanjuan remarked.
If she had done it herself, it would have taken many hours.
An Nuonuo said, “Then, Mom, I’ll come to help you after school every day.”
Jiang Xu saw that Li Yuanjuan was about to refuse, so he said first, “Aunty, you know what Nuonuo’s character is like.
If she’s not allowed to come and help, she will feel guilty, and it will affect her studies.”
Li Yuanjuan thought about it and said with a bitter smile, “Alright then.”
The two of them stayed a little longer, and then they left.
Watching their retreating figures, Li Yuanjuan murmured to herself, “They really are a match made in heaven.
I have to work even harder to make money so that my daughter can live happily in the future…”
On the way home, they bought some assorted snacks like Cola, potato chips, and spicy strips.
Preparing for an all-nighter later.
When they got home and had freshened up, Jiang Xu brought his notebook to An Nuonuo’s room.
The aroma in her room was incredibly relaxing to Jiang Xu the moment he entered.
How he wanted to sleep here.
An Nuonuo had also finished freshening up.
She was wearing a soft pink sleepwear.
Her figure was slender and well-proportioned. Even in her sleepwear, one couldn’t help admiring her.
Under the light, her perfect curves were displayed.
This sight made Jiang Xu hold his breath out of admiration.
Beautiful, it was simply beautiful.
Feeling the fervent gaze from Jiang Xu, An Nuonuo hurriedly put on a light jacket.
Jiang Xu was somewhat speechless, “Are you guarding against me with that look?
You guard against villains, but even gentlemen too?”
An Nuonuo said lightly, a serious look on her face, “I want to learn from you, how to be thick-skinned.”
Jiang Xu:”???”
Suddenly, he felt a lump in his chest, too upset to say anything.
The girl’s gaze was very serious, not at all as if she was joking.
Jiang Xu felt like he had been hit for a million shots.
Seeing Jiang Xu’s disgruntled expression, An Nuonuo couldn’t help but laugh.
She sat down next to him, the fragrance of her body wafting towards him.
She opened her notebook and started to type.
Jiang Xu also opened his notebook.
“Martial Universe” had already been completed.
The new book was “School Beauty’s Bodyguard”.
This book didn’t start serializing until the year 2011 in his previous life.
Now, it was mine.
Let’s roll!
This life, I will have you to help complete this novel.
Outside the window, a clear moon hung high.
Once the two entered the zone, they flew like the wind, very quickly.
They churned out chapters at a fluid pace.
The various snacks on the table were also being consumed quickly.
It wasn’t until after five in the morning that Jiang Xu called a halt.
Perhaps because An Nuonuo was by his side, Jiang Xu was surprisingly in a great mood.
The plot flowed smoothly from beginning to end, with no need to pause for thought.
He produced a whopping sixty-thousand words in one all-nighter.
An average of eight to nine thousand words an hour.
Jiang Xu looked at An Nuonuo, “How many words did you write?”
“Thirty-five thousand,” An Nuonuo said with joy in her eyes, “So many, it’s the first time I’ve written so many words.”
“Not bad,” Jiang Xu nodded, “Let’s go, we’ll go have breakfast, sleep a few hours, and then go for a barbecue in the suburbs.”
The two of them cleaned up and went out.
The sky was still dark.
A breeze blew, and An Nuonuo instinctively shrank her neck and tightened her clothes.
Jiang Xu naturally took her hands in his.
The girl shivered slightly..
