Seeing Jiang Nannan Again

Huo Yuhao had not seen Jiang Nannan for two or three years, but he still remembered the anxiety and helplessness that had filled the Maiden's youthful, pretty face when they first met. He had casually lent her a hand. After healing the Maiden's mother and learning that she was Jiang Nannan, Huo Yuhao had been quite surprised. Still, he had been very happy to change Jiang Nannan's fate from the Original Work.

Back then, the Maiden had already shown the makings of a beauty. He had never expected that, upon seeing her again today, the fully grown Maiden would already be so devastatingly beautiful.

Jiang Nannan was now tall and well-proportioned, her long golden hair cascading down her back in large waves. Her skin was fairer than snow, and her eyes resembled pools of clear water. Every glance and turn of her gaze carried an air of refined elegance and noble grace. Her face was like jade, like a crescent moon haloed in soft light, like flowering branches piled with snow. Her tender charm surpassed all words; in every delicate, graceful movement, her beauty was beyond compare. Her peerless appearance seemed to dim every color around her.

Though Tang Ya's looks could not compare to Jiang Nannan's breathtaking beauty, she was still youthful and lovely, while her lively, playful temperament gave her a charm all her own.

The gazes of passing students drifted unconsciously toward the two stunning Maidens, admiring this beautiful sight.

When Wang Dong saw Huo Yuhao staring fixedly at the two senior sisters ahead of them, anger immediately surged within her. He didn't stare at me like that yesterday!

Wang Dong snorted coldly, then her fair hand reached for Huo Yuhao's waist and gave it a hard twist.

"Ow! What are you doing?"

Huo Yuhao hurriedly slapped Wang Dong's hand away, rubbing his waist as he glared at her.

"Lecher. Your eyes were practically glued to them," Wang Dong said coldly, her face frosty.

Huo Yuhao said irritably, "They're people I know. I haven't seen them in years, and they've changed a lot. What's wrong with taking a few extra looks?"

With that, Huo Yuhao turned and walked toward Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan.

"Xiao Ya-jie, Nan Nan-jie, over here."

Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan looked toward the source of the voice.

When Jiang Nannan saw that familiar face, she could not help falling into a daze. "Yuhao..." she murmured.

Tang Ya waved enthusiastically. "Little Yuhao, hurry over! We've been waiting for you forever. Let me tell you, making girls wait is not a good habit."

"Come on, come on! Xiao Ya-jie brought Shrek Academy Outer Court's number one beauty here today. Let me introduce you."

Jiang Nannan hurriedly stopped Xiao Ya, her face flushing red. What Outer Court's number one beauty? Just thinking of Yuhao hearing that title made Jiang Nannan feel terribly embarrassed. He'll definitely tease me!

"Xiao Ya-jie, there's no need for introductions. Nan Nan-jie and I have known each other for a long time." Huo Yuhao looked at Jiang Nannan gently and said with some emotion, "Nan Nan-jie, it's been a long time."

Jiang Nannan stared blankly at the boy before her, who was now even a little taller than she was, as memories of the past flooded back.

It was this boy. Back then, he had still looked so young and immature, yet he had descended like a god and guided her, when she had been at the end of her rope, to save her mother. The boy had handled matters with the maturity and reliability of a little adult. Looking back now, that only made him seem even more adorable.

After her mother had been healed, she learned that he too was searching for a way to save his mother. She had then resolutely decided to follow and protect him until he found a cure for her.

They had been apart for two or three years, yet to her, it felt like only yesterday. Every moment of the time she had spent with him remained vivid in her mind.

Jiang Nannan unconsciously threw herself at Huo Yuhao and hugged him tightly. Breathing in his familiar scent, she murmured, "It's been a long time, Yuhao."

Huo Yuhao held the Maiden and gently patted her back, quietly waiting for her to gradually calm down.

Jiang Nannan was special to Huo Yuhao as well. In the eleven years since his transmigration, aside from his mother, this Maiden had spent the most time by his side. She had traveled everywhere with him for nearly a year over the matter of his mother, and after being together day and night, their feelings had long become different. Not to mention that the Maiden had once saved his life.

Tang Ya watched the two embrace and immediately felt somewhat at a loss, along with a trace of disappointment and bitterness that even she had deliberately tried to ignore.

When did these two get together? How did I not know? And lately, that Xu San Shi seems to be pursuing Nannan. I need to make Yuhao be careful. Tang Ya's thoughts ran wild.

Wang Dong was the same. Watching the two embrace, she did not know why, but she felt bitter and upset inside. He already has a girlfriend, yet he still treated me like that. He said my girl's clothes could only be seen by him. I'll never wear them for him again!

Wang Dong squeezed out viciously, "Scumbag!"

"Exactly!"

Tang Ya instinctively echoed in strong agreement.

Tang Ya followed the direction of the voice, wanting to know who could possibly resonate with her so deeply. That should not be possible, right? Could Little Yuhao have provoked some other girl again?

When she saw that it was the handsome boy who had come with Little Yuhao, Tang Ya was immediately puzzled. Then, when she saw the grievance, bitterness, disappointment, and anger flowing from his eyes like a fan-shaped statistical chart, Tang Ya could not help shuddering. The bitterness in her own heart was frightened away.

Oh no, Little Yuhao hasn't really gone down the wrong path, has he?

Although the other person was very handsome, so much so that even Bei Bei paled in comparison, he was a boy!

Xiao Ya considered whether she should let Little Yuhao take a little more advantage of her in the future, so he could experience the beauty of girls and return from the wrong path.

But it seemed she did not need to do it herself. She could tell Nannan and have Nannan save Little Yuhao, who had strayed down the wrong path.

Her guilt toward Bei Bei made Tang Ya decide not to take the field personally after all.

As for what had happened last time, Tang Ya had long since prepared herself mentally.

She and little brother Yuhao had merely held hands. How could that count as betraying Bei Bei?

He was only her stinky little brother, nothing more!

Feeling that the Maiden's emotions had finally settled, and seeing the surrounding students gradually crowding around them, Huo Yuhao released Jiang Nannan, turned her by her rounded shoulders, and said warmly, "Nan Nan-jie, let's leave first and talk later. Otherwise, we'll be surrounded by all these students soon."

When Jiang Nannan saw the densely packed students around them, including quite a few of her friends, a rosy blush rose on her face. The Maiden hurriedly nodded and reached out, wanting to take Huo Yuhao's hand and leave.

Huo Yuhao was now especially mindful of the succubus body. He avoided Jiang Nannan's fair hand and instead took hold of her sleeve. Looking toward Xiao Ya and Wang Dong, he said:

"Xiao Ya-jie, Wang Dong, let's leave first. Then I'll tell you about Nan Nan-jie and me. Otherwise, if the students crowd over, I'm afraid something might happen."

"Then let's go!" Tang Ya said excitedly, almost unable to wait. She felt there had to be a story between those two, and she could no longer contain the gossiping spirit within her.

Wang Dong turned her face away, but in the end, she could not help following Huo Yuhao and the others. Her mouth might deny it, but her body was honest.

After Huo Yuhao and the others left, the crowd of spectators immediately erupted into noise.

"Terrible news! Jiang Nannan, the Outer Court's number one beauty, has been won over by a new first-year junior! Spread the word!"

"Quick, inform Brother Xu at once and tell him to hurry here! If he doesn't come soon, his future sister-in-law will be gone—she'll have run off with someone else!"

"Inform Senior Bei Bei at once! Senior sister Xiao Ya has run off with a junior too!" This one simply enjoyed stirring up trouble.

"That's not right, is it? Senior sister Xiao Ya was clearly just standing there watching!" someone questioned.

"If I tell you to spread it, then spread it. Trust me, I'm definitely right!" the person stubbornly insisted.

"Spread the word! The most handsome new student has also been won over by that junior!" a female student added fuel to the fire.

For a time, the entire Shrek Outer Court was in an uproar.
