She had seen Jiang Sui's handwriting before.
But the neat, flowing English font, page after page, looked as if it had been printed.
It was beautiful.
She was stunned.
After flipping through a few pages, Su Qing realized that these were actually exam questions.
Her fingers tensed slightly, her eyes fixed on the letters and words.
"You..."
Su Qing froze for a moment, unsure what to say. She blinked her eyelashes, uttered a single word, and then the rest of her words got stuck in her throat.
"What am I? I'm hungry."
"This is the final question my tutor gave me. I've written it all down for you!"
Su Qing barely uttered the word "thank you."
"What are you talking about? Hurry up and open the door! Are you planning to let me starve to death outside?"
? !!
Su Qing's mind was a mess, and now she was even more shocked. She was quicker to react, and stiffly opened the door with her fingers.
She was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.
She could only silently hang up the phone and put it in her pocket.
It was already late afternoon, and her unlit room was a little dim. Fortunately, there was a floor-to-ceiling window, and a few street lights outside reflected some light in, casting a shadow on Jiang Sui's handsome brow, which was raised.
He stood in front her with a cold expression. Beneath his wispy hair, his starry eyes were cold and dazzling.
The young man looked at the stunned girl in front him. She was backlit, making it difficult for him to discern the emotions on her face.
Jiang Sui casually put his phone away and flicked the light switch with his slender fingers.
"Who's saving on electricity if no turn on the light?"
The room suddenly became brighter. Su Qing squinted for a moment, feeling a bit uncomfortable, and rubbed her fingers together.
"I haven't had time to turn it on yet."
He was stunned, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Su Qing thought, that face is really beautiful, even more beautiful under the light.
Cold and charming.
"What's wrong? What are you daydreaming about? Do you really want to starve me to death?"
The boy's voice was gravelly. He lowered his voice, bent down, and moved closer to Su Qing.
This wasn't a safe distance.
Su Qing pinched her fingertips, slowly turned her head, and turned around.
"I bought a maggie cup to make for you."
She went to the table and took the kettle to heat water.
Perhaps Su Qing was a little nervous and hurried, as Jiang Sui clearly saw her fingers twirling her hair. Then, in a flash, she reached for a bowl of instant noodles on the table, set it down, and finally picked up the kettle.
Jiang Sui sat down in a chair, twirling the girl's pencil and collecting her notebook and test paper.
As he collected the papers, he noticed that the paper, previously blank, was now densely filled with writing.
He glanced at it a few times.
The answer was a perfect 100%.
The faint smile on the boy's face froze.
Just then, Su Qing cleared the kettle and came over to the table to get some mineral water to heat up.
Jiang Sui grabbed her wrist.
"This test, did you just do it?"
Su Qing nodded.
Jiang Sui...
?!
"Thank you."
Su Qing's wrist tightened slightly from the pinch, but she wasn't angry.
She knew the predicted test must have been quite difficult for the teacher to create, and Jiang Sui was willing to share it with her, so she wasn't stingy and went to make some instant noodles for him.
Although she deeply disliked being bossed around and ordered around.
However, if it was as a way of repaying a favor, it was still acceptable.
Also, she shouldn't have gotten angry at Jiang Sui then. Was she truly a bit heartless?
Because, whether overtly or covertly, whether Jiang Sui knew or didn't, he had indeed helped her out of a pressing need.
Especially with the matter of going to Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School.
Su Qing thought so.
Hearing the thank you, Jiang Sui bit the back of his teeth and said nothing, simply releasing the slender white wrist in his hand.
She let out a deep breath.
She hadn't even considered calling him?
Instead, she'd taken an English test without any issues, getting almost all the answers right?
Could it be that his influence on her was zero?
What a heartless bastard!
A surge of irritation suddenly rose in Jiang Sui's heart. He turned away, glaring coldly at the small figure pacing back and forth in the small room.
Thin arms and legs.
Her profile was remarkably demure. A kettle beside her emitted a faint hum of steam.
Su Qing's small hands expertly opened the lid of the bucket and placed the spice package inside.
Her expression was meticulous.
Could she possibly still have some conscience?
Jiang Sui narrowed his eyes, and his anger seemed to subside in an instant, though he still spoke with a certain coolness.
"Su Qing, you're buying instant noodles, but aren't you also buying an egg and sausage?"
...
"I didn't know you liked this kind of food...?"
Su Qing was a little confused. Jiang Sui was probably the kind of rich kid she'd imagined.
She'd assumed he'd dislike instant noodles.
After all, they'd once...
"Of course I don't like this!"
Su Qing looked at Jiang Sui with an expression of obvious confusion and bewilderment.
If you don't like it, why buy it?!
Jiang Sui pinched his brow, naturally understanding Su Qing's expression.
While he didn't object to instant noodles, he didn't really like them, but he didn't say so.
Jiang Sui gave Su Qing a cold look.
"I don't like it, is that your reason for not buying it?"
"If you care about me or love me, shouldn't you buy more? Or something like that..."
Jiang Sui was a little unsure how to say it, practically gritting his teeth.
"Aren't you worried I won't have enough?"
Su Qing suddenly realized what was going on. She pointed to a bag to the side.
She was very serious.
"I've considered this, so I bought two buckets."
Jiang Sui's mind was now completely consumed by the episode with Hu Yifan.
[Sui, this relationship is like this: I might be hungry, so you give me instant noodles, but your wife is hungry, so you give her instant noodles with egg and ham.]
How did Jiang Sui respond then?
[Would I let her have instant noodles?!]
[No, Sui, this is discrimination!! If a girl doesn't treat you differently, what's the point of...]
Now?
Jiang Sui watched helplessly as Su Qing opened two buckets of noodles and handed him one, her expression reassuring him, "You'll definitely be full."
The girl's face was as white as jade, her eyes soft and gentle.
There must be something wrong with what that idiot Hu Yifan said. Jiang Sui, twirling his pen, asked with reluctance.
"If Liu Ranran was hungry, would you also give her instant noodles?"
Su Qing looked at Jiang Sui, finding him a bit strange.
But she still answered truthfully.
"If you're talking about now, in the same situation as you, then also eat instant noodles."
"But if she really is like you, she'd probably eat two buckets too."
After a while, Su Qing finally came to a realization. Even when the water boiled, she didn't reach for the kettle. Instead, she closed the lid on the instant noodles and looked at Jiang Sui.
"You don't want to eat instant noodles, do you?"
Su Qing: So, after all this talk, you're just disgusted with my instant noodles?
Jiang Sui: I... I've been talking for a while. Is it instant noodles?
