Chapter 39: Chapter 039 Foolish beyond belief _1
“Are you here to explain things to me?”
“Huh?” Jiang Nanfei snapped back to her senses, she hadn’t heard clearly what he said, “What are you saying?”
“Are you good at your studies?”
“Of course!” This was an accomplishment that she had achieved with her own abilities, so she answered with absolute confidence.
Huo Beijiang’s mouth curled into an isolated smile, with a hint of reckless arrogance in his eyes, “It’s hard to imagine, someone who looks as dumb as you would be good at your studies.”
“…What did you say?” Nan Fei asked him word by word.
Huo Beijiang paused, inwardly cursing himself for his slip of tongue, “Do you want an explanation from me?” Whenever this man did not smile, his handsome face was cold as ice. Now he deftly changed the topic, without any abruptness.
This is also why, despite his sharp tongue, he never ended up getting brutally beaten.
“No!” She didn’t want to admit that she was here to explain, otherwise who knows whether he’d think she was in love with him!
“Oh!” Huo Beijiang hummed a little, his tone heavy with a faint trace of melancholy. He had of course heard the rumours circulating, even his mother and sister were constantly talking about them to him.
This made him annoyed to the point he had to send them away, but he couldn’t say that he was completely unaffected by it.
God knows how much he cared, his woman, had actually dared to attract the attention of other men. This was simply crossing his lines and a big taboo for him.
Huo Beijiang felt a dull headache, he had never been a drinker, since childhood, he refrained from not just drinking alcohol, but even spicy foods, to keep his senses sharp.
He hardly ever smoked.
His pace started to slow, inwardly he cursed his old classmate. Dragging him out for some job after centuries, and then forcing a drink on him. He would have to pay for this someday, didn’t he know how vengeful Huo Beijiang was?
Xiao Wang Village is located to the north of Qi Li Town, you need to go around the farmers’ market and then head north from there. After crossing the railway bridge, there is a wide road, when coming, Jiang Nanfei took the narrow path through the fields to save time.
But on the way back, she had a tall man accompanying her, and she didn’t dare lead him through the small path.
“Be careful.” A three-wheeled truck roared past Jiang Nanfei, fortunately, Huo Beijiang was quick to wrap his arms around her and pull her into his embrace.
“Why are you always daydreaming when walking?” Huo Beijiang tapped her forehead with his finger, his voice becoming increasingly hoarse and deep. “You’re really too foolish.”
The spot he tapped on her forehead turned red, and Jiang Nanfei covered it with her hand, tears pooling in her eyes as she looked at him.
He called her an idiot! He actually called her stupid? He had just called her dumb a moment ago.
“Uh…” He seemed to have used a little too much force. Huo Beijiang coughed lightly, the soft body in his arms was surprisingly hard to let go. “You’re walking too slow, let me carry you.”
Without waiting for Jiang Nanfei to reply, he simply squatted down and effortlessly hoisted her onto his back.
The scenery spun around Jiang Nanfei, and her heart pounded in her chest. Was she being teased just now? Was this how you carry someone? Did he think she was a sandbag or an idiot?
He actually tossed her over from his shoulder.
“See, isn’t this much faster,” said Huo Beijiang, easily carrying her on his back, his pace faster than before when they were walking side by side.
Jiang Nanfei was so angry that she wanted to spit out blood, but she could only hold it in. If she had been the same as in her previous life, she’d have given him a big kick and severed ties with him. Just how low was his emotional intelligence?
