65: Chapter 65: Stirring of Spring Emotions 65: Chapter 65: Stirring of Spring Emotions “How did you get in here?” An Hao most disliked that Bai Yanjiao would enter without knocking, freely coming and going from her room.
She was so unaware, often leaving her room in a complete mess.
Bai Yanjiao smiled, pretending to be shy as she sneakily glanced at Shen Zhiyuan: “I brought some water for Brother Zhihua.”
“Is that so?” An Hao’s mouth twitched, and she couldn’t help but sneer.
After just a few words, Bai Yanjiao had already changed into a new outfit, a red fabric top with small flowers, paired with brand-new black pants, her hair neatly braided and shining with vegetable oil, and her lips also seemed to have been painted a bright red.
Plus that flirty look in her eyes, was this really a visit to bring water?
It was clear that the young girl’s heart was aflutter with spring.
Bai Yanjiao looked at An Hao’s smile, making her feel a bit uncomfortable inside, but the teasing was pointless because she was set on what she wanted to do.
Brother Zhihua, here’s your water!” She said, blushing as she handed it over.
“Thank you!” Shen Zhiyuan took it, took a sip, and then looked up in surprise, “Sugar water!”
“Hmm,” Bai Yanjiao nodded, “Brother Zhihua is a cherished guest, of course, he deserves sugar water.”
An Hao found this statement both amusing and annoying.
That sugar must have been bought by Bai Xue secretly with her own money, right?
The household was eating so poorly, yet she was sneaking around, saving her own money to favor her daughter with special treats.
If she were to tell her father about this, the house would yet again be in unrest.
She decided to turn a blind eye, planning to start a small business in the city and make some money after the college entrance exam was over.
And this upcoming trip to the city could serve as reconnaissance.
Shen Zhihua took the cup, a bit awkwardly, and took a sip without giving Bai Yanjiao another glance, continuing to speak to An Hao: “An Hao, stop making trouble.
The matter is settled!
We leave for town at 5:30 AM on Saturday to catch the bus to the city!
Remember not to be late!”
An Hao didn’t want to push back in front of Bai Yanjiao, so she agreed for the time being: “All right then, don’t worry, I won’t be late on Saturday!”
Then it’s set, I’ll go back now if there’s nothing else!” Shen Zhihua placed the jar on the table and got up to leave.
“Brother Zhihua!” As he was about to leave, Bai Yanjiao grabbed his sleeve.
Because she moved too hastily, her hand touched the back of his, and her face instantly blushed red.
She quickly let go as if she had been scalded, her face contorted with embarrassment: “Brother Zhihua, what are you going to the city for this Saturday?
Can you take me with you?”
Shen Zhihua felt very awkward seeing her act this way: “Yanjiao, we’re going to visit a teacher!
You better stay here!”
Brother Zhihua, I want to go too!
I’ve never been to the city my whole life, please take me with you!” Bai Yanjiao pleaded obliviously, causing An Hao to cringe.
Bai Yanjiao’s affected manner was too much for An Hao to bear, so she asked bluntly: “Going to the city means taking a bus and eating meals, do you have money?”
This question caught Bai Yanjiao off guard.
If she claimed to have money, then An Hao would certainly retort that the family could barely make ends meet while she was stashing money away.
If she admitted she didn’t, then what was her reason for going?
Either way, there was no right answer.
Looking at An Hao’s face, Bai Yanjiao felt so annoyed that her teeth itched.
She really wanted to pounce on her and tear her face apart to relieve the hatred in her heart!
