Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Most Afraid of The Sudden Silence
"Gaigai, the stuff for the website has been completed, can you come and take a look?"
Upon answering the call, Jiang Xu heard Jiang Xiaoyan's voice and nearly dropped his phone.
What's with the cute tone sneaking through her pretentious voice?
It did give Jiang Xu a bit of a surprise, though.
Didn't they say it would take two days?
The time wasn't even up yet.
In a cutesy voice, Jiang Xiaoyan said, "It's because Gaigai needed it, of course.
So, I worked overtime to get it finished and even got dark circles under my eyes.
What does Gaigai plan to compensate me with?"
Jiang Xu: "Is a Jiang Xu special cream cake acceptable for you?"
"Absolutely, I love eating that!"
Initially, he disliked this kind of talking, but the more he heard, the more he was into it. How was it possible?
Despite knowing that Jiang Xiaoyan was just putting on an act, being a drama queen,
most boys, indeed, fell for it.
Of course, there might be a certain reason for that.
Jiang Xu said, "Okay, I'll come by later as I am a little busy now.
By the way, where do you live? Or, should we make it tomorrow?
It's pretty late, and I doubt your parents would feel easy."
In her sweet voice, Jiang Xiaoyan said, "No worries, I live in a small villa by myself.
Dad has a mistress and Mom doesn't care about me."
Her tone was light, as though she had grown accustomed to it.
Something stirred inside Jiang Xu.
So this was the kind of family she came from.
Maybe, it was the reason behind her unpredictable and a bit dark personality.
"Okay, send me your address. I'll be over later."
"Alright, I'll wait for you, brother~"
Dragging the last word out.
As if hinting at something.
It wasn't clear where the little girl learned this from.
He got on his bike and left.
By the time he arrived, An Nuonuo was already waiting at the gate.
She was wearing a new set of clothes.
A white shirt and jeans.
She wore a pair of white sneakers.
The jeans fit tightly, perfectly showcasing her curvaceous figure.
The shirt was long enough to cover her buttocks.
When it came to clothing, she was quite conservative and couldn't stand it if this part of her was on display for everyone to see.
Unlike a few years from now, when crop tops and shorts shorter than shorts would flood the streets.
There's not much difference from stepping out in a bikini.
Jiang Xu stopped the bike and waved: "Hey, beauty, want to get on my bike? A kiss for a ride."
"You're disgusting," the young girl spat lightly, flitting onto the bike.
With her many experiences of getting on the bike, An Nuonuo had gone from being awkward to being superbly skilled.
Once home,
An Nuonuo wondered why the lights were off seeing only darkness.
Jiang Xu brought out a prepared black cloth: "Cover your eyes, there's a surprise."
With a touch of curiosity, An Nuonuo covered her eyes.
This was part of the routine, too.
You can't see anything now, right? You'll need me to guide you, right?
She was plunged into darkness.
Despite knowing Jiang Xu was right beside her, An Nuonuo still felt a tinge of fear.
However, at that moment, Jiang Xu grabbed her hand.
A familiar sensation.
His broad and strong hand gave An Nuonuo a profound sense of security.
The tension in her muscles eased instantly.
Jiang Xu deliberately led her around a few times.
Not for any specific purpose, just to hold her hand for a bit longer.
He then brought her to the backyard.
Jiang Xu lit the candles.
Only then did he remove An Nuonuo's blindfold.
She slowly opened her eyes.
There was a second of discomfort.
Then, An Nuonuo gasped in surprise at the scene before her, covering her mouth.
To Jiang Xu, it was nothing unusual,
but for the girls of now,
sights like this only existed on television before.
An Nuonuo always thought that it was very romantic when she saw the protagonists in TV shows enjoying candlelit dinners together, and she yearned for it.
She had never expected that one day, such a scene would be set before her.
After her surprise, An Nuonuo felt somewhat at a loss, her cheeks flushed red.
However, because it was quite dark around them, with only the light of a single candle, it was not at all noticeable.
The tremble in the girl's voice, though, was quite evident:
"Why... why is it like this... isn't it supposed to be just for couples to..."
An Nuonuo's mind suddenly went into overdrive.
She began to wildly guess.
Could it be that Jiang Xu did this because he wanted to confess his feelings to her?
If he did confess, what should she do?
Should she reject him?
But if she rejected him, how would they continue to interact in the future?
But if she didn't reject him.
Although An Nuonuo did have feelings for Jiang Xu.
They were still far from reaching the point where they would become a couple.
Just as she was extremely agonized and undecided in her thoughts.
Jiang Xu's words directly pulled her back to reality.
"Not at all, the light bulb in this backyard is broken.
And there's no place to buy a new one this late at night.
There are white candles at home, but that would be too weird.
So I bought these pink candles at the nearby grocery store."
Jiang Xu, of course, knew that their relationship was more than friends, but less than lovers.
If he confessed his feelings rashly now, it would definitely bring their relationship to a freezing point.
And it might even gradually drive them apart.
"Oh... so that's it..."
An Nuonuo suddenly felt very embarrassed.
It turned out that she had misunderstood.
At the same time, however, a faint disappointment rose in her heart.
But this disappointment quickly faded.
Because Jiang Xu, as if by magic, pulled out a box from somewhere:
"Here, Miss An Nuonuo, you've been working hard recently.
I have a small gift for you, I hope you won't dislike it."
"A gift?"
The girl's eyes were twinkling brightly.
She accepted it with curiosity.
She asked if she could open it to see what was inside.
Only after getting Jiang Xu's affirmation, she carefully, with some anticipation, opened the box.
Inside the box, there lay a bracelet shaped like a cherry blossom.
"What do you think, do you like it?" Jiang Xu asked with a smile.
An Nuonuo quickly put the bracelet on her left wrist.
She examined it from the left and the right.
Needless to say.
From her expression, it was clear that she really liked this bracelet.
"Thank you, I like it so much."
In An Nuonuo's voice, there was a hint of joy.
She gently caressed the bracelet, liking it more and more with each glance.
Jiang Xu: "I'm glad you like it, then you should wear it all the time.
No matter what the situation, you can't take it off.
Seeing it is like seeing me, understand?"
Only a couple would use this kind of tone and speak these kind of words.
But An Nuonuo had never been in a relationship, so she knew nothing about this side of things.
Therefore, she did not notice the trap in Jiang Xu's words.
She nodded happily.
"Alright, you should sit and taste the food I cooked."
"Okay."
This candlelit dinner lasted for over an hour.
With the aid of the dim surroundings and the ambient atmosphere.
The relationship between the two of them unknowingly progressed further.
"I'm going to the bathroom." An Nuonuo stood up.
Jiang Xu: "Oh, be careful."
"Click."
As she was passing by the light switch, An Nuonuo instinctively pressed it.
Then, the lights came on.
Jiang Xu's body stiffened.
The air suddenly became silent...
