Chapter 643: Chapter 643: Coming to See If You’re Good
The ‘thud thud thud’ of knocking nearly scared Chu Youwei’s soul out of her body.
She sprang to her feet in an instant and turned to face the door, not daring to speak.
Jiang Xu stood outside, knocking on the door, feeling quite awkward himself.
Given what had happened, An Nuonuo surely was too embarrassed to come over, so he had to.
Had it been anywhere else, they could have avoided each other for a few days to cool off.
But this was the place where Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo lived, and since all the activities were done together, that simply wasn’t an option.
Since avoidance was impossible, they had to brave it out.
Chu Youwei, inside the room, seemed very out of her element.
But she knew she couldn’t hide.
She took a deep breath, her face carrying an expression of gallant sacrifice as she opened the door.
Jiang Xu said as if nothing was amiss, “Time to eat, Sister.”
“Yeah, okay,” Chu Youwei replied stiffly, trying her best not to think about what had just happened.
But whenever she looked at Jiang Xu, her mind would involuntarily flash back to the sight of Jiang Xu’s physique.
It was like a child who had lived in poverty in the countryside suddenly arriving in a big city one day.
The glittering nightlife and towering skyscrapers were, no doubt, shockingly impressive to a first-timer.
“Sister… eat… breakfast…”
An Nuonuo also stuttered after seeing Chu Youwei, not daring to look her in the eye.
Chu Youwei responded with a soft hmm, so quiet it was barely audible.
The atmosphere at the dining table was a bit eerie.
Chu Youwei ate at an unprecedented speed.
After finishing, she quickly left.
“Wuwuwu…”
Only after Chu Youwei had left did An Nuonuo cover her face with her hands, on the verge of tears.
“Hahaha!” Jiang Xu burst into uninhibited laughter, exuding merciless mockery.
An Nuonuo silently took out her phone, intent on calling Chen Yue.
This time, Jiang Xu quickly snatched the phone away and tossed it aside.
Then, he directly scooped An Nuonuo up by her ticklish ribs, lifted her onto the dining table.
His gaze burning, he said, “We were interrupted by my cousin before, shall we continue?”
The girl bit her pink lip, “No, you’re a bad boy.”
Jiang Xu watched her delicate collarbone, swallowing unconsciously.
An Nuonuo’s collarbone was very attractive, the kind where you could practically raise little goldfish by pouring some water on it.
Oh, and the dimple on her waist had the same visual appeal.
An Nuonuo felt the dining table was a bit dirty and didn’t want to continue there.
So, Jiang Xu carried her to the bathroom.
There was a large floor-to-ceiling mirror there, perfect for the occasion.
It gave An Nuonuo a different kind of flavor seeing themselves in the mirror.
An Nuonuo: “…”
Today’s task was to shoot the TV series.
‘School Hunk’ second scene, the final competition, would not take place until three days later.
Well, it was all for more traffic and consequently, more money.
Having the fans stay an extra day on Spirit Turtle Island meant more profit.
For the next two days, Jiang Xu and the others spent their time filming.
Especially Jiang Xu, who finished all his scenes ahead of time so that he wouldn’t need to come to the set later on.
At night, the sky was speckled with stars.
Fall had arrived, and the temperature on the island at night was naturally low.
Walking on the road, An Nuonuo couldn’t help but shiver.
Jiang Xu immediately drew her into his arms.
An Nuonuo said with shy coyness, “There are other people around.”
They had just come out from the crew.
Chu Youwei, Zhou Qingyue, and Bai Xiaoya were walking behind them.
Bai Xiaoya glanced at Zhou Qingyue and saw that she was quite composed.
It was a true sense of peace, not a feigned one, but a calmness that signified she had truly let go.
She murmured to herself, “Either she’s an outstanding actress and even fooled me,
or she really has moved on. I hope it’s the latter.”
Zhou Qingyue no longer clinging to Jiang Xu was good news for everyone.
Chu Youwei held her phone, capturing the silhouettes of Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo and posting it to her social circle.
Her social circle consisted of only a few friends, with no outsiders.
A gust of wind blew, making Chu Youwei shiver slightly, her thoughts drifting.
Should I… start dating too?
There were many who pursued her.
But Chu Youwei didn’t know whether these men were sincere or just wanted to have fun.
She and An Nuonuo shared one trait.
That was their traditional approach to relationships and men.
Once committed to someone, they would never change.
Even if the other party fell out of love, had an affair, divorced, or even passed away, they would not fall for a second person.
“I really envy those two,” Chu Youwei muttered to herself.
At that moment, Jiang Xu’s phone vibrated.
It was from Lifuzhen.
Jiang Xu intended to dismiss the call, but after a short pause, he decided to answer.
“What do you want?” Jiang Xu said, clearly annoyed.
This woman would call every now and then.
The thing was, nine times out of ten, it was about trivial matters.
If it weren’t for the future prospects of using her services or collaborating with her, he would have blocked her long ago.
Lifuzhen was brief and to the point, “I’ve arrived at Spirit Turtle Island, at the south side. Come and meet me, will you?”
“Huh?” Jiang Xu frowned, “What are you doing here?”
Lifuzhen: “To see if you’re being good.”
“Crazy!”
After retorting, Jiang Xu hung up the phone.
An Nuonuo, having overheard the conversation, said to Jiang Xu, “You should go check it out; she might have something important to discuss with you.
Besides, if the chairwoman of Sansang Group is visiting and you don’t go to meet her, she might use that against you.”
“You’re getting more and more savvy,” Jiang Xu pinched her delicate nose, “Alright, I’ll drop you off first, then head over.”
“No need, I’ll go back with my sister and the others. You go ahead.”
“Okay then, I’m off. Remember to warm the bed for me.”
After saying that, Jiang Xu left, leaving behind a blushing An Nuonuo and three onlookers.
“Nuonuo!” Bai Xiaoya stepped forward, linking arms with her, her face full of gossip: “Tell me, you two… you know, how long is the longest night, how many times?”
Zhou Qingyue discreetly perked up her ears.
Not for any reason, just pure curiosity.
Chu Youwei’s face turned red, tempted to cover her ears but feeling it somewhat inappropriate.
Meanwhile, a hint of curiosity also rose within her.
What is the nature of this young couple’s… um… intimacy?
“What’s that behind you?” An Nuonuo suddenly pointed behind them.
All three turned around.
“There’s nothing there.”
“What is it, Nuonuo?”
When they turned back, An Nuonuo had already run off.
The three then realized they had been tricked.
Bai Xiaoya was the first to chase after her: “Nuonuo, you’ve learned to be naughty, stop right there, I’m going to get you.”
“I’m sorry, Sister Xiaoya, spare me…”
Elsewhere, Jiang Xu arrived at the southern port.
He immediately saw a large boat belonging to Sansang Group.
Lifuzhen approached Jiang Xu, surrounded by a crowd of people.
