Chapter 237 It was a close call. I almost fell in love
The carriage was driving slowly on the streets of Kyoto. Jiang Tunan did not get up as early as yesterday, and it was already dawn.
"Xiao Nannan, why do you look so haggard? I remember you were fine yesterday."
Jiang Tunan first looked at Xiao Mingrui, and when he saw that he looked like he knew nothing, he replied,
"I didn't get enough rest yesterday. I just need to have a good rest."
Xiao Mingxu said with concern,
"In that case, you should take a good rest during class."
Jiang Tunan: What you said...
"What class did you take this morning?"
The courses at the Imperial College are different from those at modern times in that the classes here last for half a day, so students can only take two courses a day.
"It seems to be arithmetic?"
"real!"
Xiao Mingxu suddenly became excited.
"We are both doing arithmetic this morning. If nothing goes wrong, the boys and girls will take the class together."
Jiang Tunan nodded listlessly and agreed casually,
"That would be great."
That’s great, it’s math, she can slack off.
"Xiao Nannan, although the men's and women's quarters will sit separately, it would be fine if we could sit closer to each other."
Xiao Mingxu's face was full of beautiful aspirations, but Xiao Mingrui poured cold water on him.
"Mr. Leng should be teaching today. He has always paid the most attention to you. I'm afraid your wishful thinking will fail."
Xiao Mingxu seemed to be struck by the blow and hung his head in despair.
"It's over. My world has fallen."
Xiao Mingrui patted Xiao Mingxu's shoulder as if to encourage him, with a teasing smile in his eyes.
"With you alone drawing the fire, the other students will remember your efforts, hero."
Jiang Tunan watched the two brothers Xiao Mingxu and Xiao Mingrui bickering with a gloomy look. Unexpectedly, Xiao Mingrui was not as dull as she thought at first, and he would occasionally joke and play with others.
Sure enough, being young is different.
"Xiao Nannan, why don't you say anything? Are you really that uncomfortable?"
Xiao Mingxu noticed that Jiang Tunan had been silent, so he expressed his concern.
Jiang Tunan: Don’t call her Xiao Nannan anymore, Xiao Nannan is going to die.
Jiang Shouyan had only said at first that extracting her vitality would make her feel a little listless, but now she not only felt weak all over and had no energy for anything, but she also had a loss of appetite and was even inexplicably depressed.
So she actually wants to curse in her heart, but she might burst into tears as soon as she opens her mouth.
Am I going to end up living like Su Xiaoxiao?
"If you can't hold on, don't force yourself. Ask the driver to take you back later. I'll talk to you about asking for leave."
Xiao Mingrui also spoke with concern at this time.
"Master Leng is very easy to talk to except Xiao Mingxu."
Xiao Mingxu: Are you polite?
"I'm... fine..."
As expected, Jiang Tunan started crying as soon as she opened her mouth. As long as she got a little emotional, she felt her tears flow uncontrollably.
The other two people in the car looked visibly panicked, especially Xiao Mingxu.
"You...why are you crying? What's wrong, Xiao Nannan? Don't scare me!"
Although Xiao Mingrui didn't say anything, his eyes were questioning Jiang Tunan.
"I'm fine. I just feel that the world is so beautiful, but I am so miserable. This is not good."
Jiang Tunan: What am I saying?
Jiang Tunan said this almost without thinking, and it felt like the non-mainstream sentimental literature in her heart had been opened up.
"Look up at the sky and let the tears flow into your heart."
Jiang Tunan: Haha, destroy it.
Xiao Mingxu and Xiao Mingrui were both stunned and didn't dare to say anything, especially Xiao Mingrui. He now doubted whether Jiang Tunan had stabbed him in the same mental state last night.
Otherwise, she could kill herself while sleepwalking, so amazing.
"No, no, no, cousins, I was just talking nonsense, please don't take it seriously."
Jiang Tunan looked at the two people beside him with increasingly strange looks and was eager to explain. At this moment, the carriage had already arrived at the gate of the Imperial College.
"Xiao Nannan, see you later."
Xiao Mingxu got off the carriage as if escaping, and Xiao Mingrui nodded to Jiang Tunan and followed him out.
Jiang Tunan: ...
After taking a deep breath, Jiang Tunan tried her best to shake off the negative emotions in her heart. However, when she wanted to get out of the carriage quickly, she found that her hands and feet were weak and she could only move out little by little.
At the gate of Imperial College, because Xiao Mingrui and Xiao Mingxu went to the men's college, they left without waiting for Jiang Tunan after getting off the car. At this time, Baili Yanchu was walking over surrounded by a group of young ladies from aristocratic families.
When she looked up, she saw the Xiao family's carriage parked in front of the Imperial College gate, so she naturally thought that the person in the carriage was the young master of the Xiao family.
"Mingrui!"
Baili Yanchu left the people around him and quickly rushed towards the Xiao Mansion's carriage, while the others were already used to this and simply stood there and waited.
The Xiao family's coachman was about to explain, but unexpectedly Baili Yanchu was quicker. She walked forward and opened the door of the carriage. Inside the carriage was Jiang Tunan, who was using his hands and feet in an attempt to increase the speed.
Baili Yanchu:...
Jiang Tunan: ...
"Hi?"
Jiang Tunan was the first to speak up and break the silence. Baili Yanchu's face suddenly changed from sunny to cloudy.
"Why is it you? Why are you in Xiao Si's carriage?"
Jiang Tunan: I bet fifty cents on spicy noodles that this Fifth Princess is definitely interested in Xiao Mingrui.
"Princess, since I don't have a carriage, the Xiao family sent a carriage to take me to school."
Baili Yanchu closed the car door somewhat gloomily.
"No fun, let's go."
Because she didn't see Xiao Mingrui, Baili Yanchu left with her group of background people.
Jiang Tunan, whose car door was shut: Hahaha, what a beautiful day ()
Finally, Jiang Tunan got off the carriage panting. She stood at the gate of the Imperial College, looking at the huge plaque, and couldn't help but say,
"Father, Mother, I'm selected."
Jiang Tunan: ...
"Miss Jiang."
Qi Guanming trotted to Jiang Tunan, his cheeks slightly red.
"I didn't expect to see you at the door."
"Prince Qi."
Jiang Tunan saluted respectfully. She suddenly found that although she had become more artificial, her salute movements were much smoother. This could be considered an unexpected gain.
"Miss Jiang, why are you so distant with me? There's no need for all these empty formalities between us."
At this time, a breeze blew, blowing up a few strands of Jiang Tunan's hair. There were a few flower trees planted in front of the gate of the Imperial College, and the petals fell one after another when the wind blew.
Qi Guanming gently patted the petals off Jiang Tunan's head, his eyes clear.
"Ms. Jiang, what classes do you have this morning?"
"Shh, don't talk, just listen to the sound of petals falling."
Help! When will this damn aftereffect end?
When Qi Guanming heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he actually closed his eyes and began to listen.
Jiang Tunan: Classmate, you will make me feel even more guilty by doing this.
The only sound in his ears was the rustling of leaves, and occasionally flower petals brushed against his ears. Qi Guanming slowly opened his eyes and saw that the girl in front of him had a lot whiter skin than when he first met her. There seemed to be a light in her eyes that reflected the petals flying all over the sky.
The girl's mind was no longer clear, but she still had a smile in her eyes. She murmured,
"The wind blows the peach trees full of flowers, and the magpies chirp on the branches. The brother in the orchard is lucky in love, and everyone wants to marry him."
Qi Guanming:?
He was appreciating the first two sentences carefully, but as he listened to the latter part, he felt something was wrong.
Jiang Tunan breathed a sigh of relief. With her efforts, she finally changed what she originally wanted to say, "Fallen petals are not heartless, they turn into spring mud to protect the flowers," into her favorite disco song.
This is her style~~
Qi Guanming: It was a close call, I almost fell in love.
