Jiang Xu instinctively took a step back.
He then saw a girl with bright eyes and pearly teeth, and fine hair like corn silk standing in front of him.
“Who are you?”
“Hmph, Jiang Xu, you’re such a meanie, completely forgetting about me.”
The young girl stood with her hands on her hips, displaying a face full of discontent.
“Hm?”
Jiang Xu examined the girl closely.
She did look somewhat familiar, huh.
“Oh, it’s Xiaoxiao,” Jiang Xu exclaimed, slapping his thigh in realization.
He pinched her chubby cheek: “Long time no see. I didn’t expect you to change so much.”
Jiang Xiaoxiao, his cousin.
However, it had been many years since they last met.
If it weren’t for her voice not having changed much, he might not have recognized her.
“Annoying.” Jiang Xiaoxiao brushed away Jiang Xu’s hand: “Have some respect, can you just pinch your cousin’s cheek like that?”
Jiang Xu said with a smile, “You were such a crybaby when you were little, and whenever someone bullied you, wasn’t it always me who got you your revenge?
Back then, you used to call me ‘Brother Xu’.”
“Go away, go away, go away.” Jiang Xiaoxiao blushed on the spot, saying very displeasedly, “Don’t smear my name; that never happened.”
Although what Jiang Xu said was true.
But those were things from their childhood, unknown to others.
As long as I deny it, those things never happened.
“By the way,” Jiang Xu curiously asked, “how did you know where I live, did you come by yourself?”
Jiang Xiaoxiao answered, “Of course, I went to ask my uncle. By the way, your girlfriend is unbelievably beautiful.”
Just as Jiang Xu was about to agree, Jiang Shan called him.
Jiang Xu excused himself from Jiang Xiaoxiao and stepped aside to take the call.
“Dad.”
“Yes?”
“What’s the deal with cousin Xiaoxiao?”
“Well, she’s about to start her internship, and I was thinking she could join your company, maybe you can arrange a position for her.”
“Oh okay, I got it. Where are you and mom now?”
“We’re in Chao City, don’t worry about us. Just help your cousin out; although her parents don’t get on well with us, your cousin is a good person.”
“Got it,” Jiang Xu assured.
After ending the call, Jiang Xu approached Jiang Xiaoxiao, “Cuz, what’s your major?”
Although they were cousins, they hadn’t seen or contacted each other in years.
When they were kids, they didn’t know about QQ.or such.
“I majored in management, just an ordinary degree,” Jiang Xiaoxiao said somewhat embarrassingly. “You don’t need to arrange anything grand for me, a monthly salary of five or six thousand is fine.”
“Okay, no problem, my company has plenty of those positions,” Jiang Xu immediately agreed.
His principle was always to act upon advice given.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was instantly furious.
Hands on her hips, she protested, “I was just saying, couldn’t you have stopped me a bit?”
Jiang Xu burst into loud laughter.
His cousin still hadn’t changed much since their childhood, always forthright and easy-going.
An Nuonuo came out of the kitchen with food in hand, her joy evident, “Brother Xu, you’re back. Cousin, it’s time for some midnight snacks.”
“Wow, Nuonuo, you’re so capable,” Jiang Xiaoxiao remarked as she briskly went over, marveling, “This snail noodle soup smells so good.”
An Nuonuo first served a bowl to Jiang Xiaoxiao, then to Jiang Xu, and lastly, she served herself.
“Nuonuo, you’re just too capable,” Jiang Xiaoxiao hugged her, “If I were a man,
I would definitely marry only you.”
An Nuonuo was a bit embarrassed by her actions but was very happy.
Being liked by someone from Jiang Xu’s family was very blissful.
Jiang Xu, while eating the midnight snack, asked Jiang Xiaoxiao which department she wanted to work in.
As family, he would certainly not treat her poorly.
But even so, she had to start from the ground up.
If she showed ability, she could be promoted.
If not, he would give her a non-demanding position with a slightly higher wage—keeping her employed would suffice.
After finishing the midnight snack, Jiang Xiaoxiao left thoughtfully to stay at a hotel outside.
An Nuonuo wanted to keep Jiang Xiaoxiao a little longer, but she didn’t agree. Before leaving, she teased An Nuonuo with a wink: “Bye, I really don’t want to be woken up in the middle of the night by the creaking of the bed, disrupting my sleep.”
An Nuonuo’s face instantly turned red.
Jiang Xiaoxiao laughed heartily and touched her cheek: “You’re so cute, I’m heading out first.”
As soon as the door closed, An Nuonuo was lifted up from behind by Jiang Xu: “Time for bed.”
“You haven’t showered yet.”
“It’s too cold, I don’t want to.”
“No… It’s not okay, you have to take a bath, otherwise… you’re not getting into bed.”
“I’m so tired today, how about you help me bathe?”
“Alright… okay…”
After the bath, the two lay in bed.
Jiang Xu said, “It’s almost winter vacation, so how about we go to Harbin after the holiday?
This way we won’t have to rush and can enjoy ourselves.”
Now it was already January 10th.
In another two weeks, it would be vacation time.
Time really flies.
I still remember the last winter vacation as if it was yesterday.
“Sure, I’ll listen to you,” An Nuonuo had no objections.
“Alright then, let’s sleep.”
“Okay, goodnight-”
In the following days, Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo either went to class or to the rehearsal.
Time quickly moved to January 15th.
The school’s New Year’s Gala began.
The vacation dates had also been notified.
The 19th, just four days left.
This year, Magic University’s New Year’s Gala had a generous budget.
The stage, lighting, and equipment were comparable to a small concert.
Fu Yanjie, Jin Xiansheng, Wu Mengmeng, and other mood setters occupied good spots early on.
They were also holding various signs supporting Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo.
And they dressed up as Doraemon and Kakarot.
At first glance, Jiang Xu decided that he had to keep his distance from them.
He couldn’t afford to lose face.
The New Year’s Gala kicked off with an explosive performance.
A coordinated dance by senior girls from several departments.
They were all above average height, wearing leg-enhancing skirts.
At a glance, all you could see were legs.
The students below howled with excitement.
Backstage, Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo sat chatting together.
It wasn’t their first time performing on stage, so they weren’t too nervous.
“Ah, there you are,” said Bai Xiaoya as she ran over.
She was dressed in a light blue long dress tonight, very sexy, adding a bit of allure.
Bai Xiaoya had also signed up for the gala performance, and her act was scheduled before Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo’s.
“Hi, Xiaoya,” An Nuonuo greeted her.
“Nuonuo, you look really beautiful today,” Bai Xiaoya’s eyes lit up, and she immediately came closer.
Her outfit for the evening wasn’t too fancy.
A plain white dress that cost about a hundred, her hair done up.
She even wore leggings underneath for warmth.
But she looked hard to resist with her natural beauty.
Due to her personality, An Nuonuo was now popular not just among the boys; many girls also liked to hang out with her.
They would hug and cuddle upon meeting.
She was clearly on her way to becoming the school’s darling.
“By the way,” Bai Xiaoya asked curiously, “I heard there’s a mystery guest this year, do you guys know who it is?”
