Two Women, Each Putting on Their Own Show
Bai Hui explained things to Liu Chang'an for a while and found that Liu Chang'an's learning ability was indeed very strong. Many steps that Bai Hui thought needed to be emphasized or demonstrated to him carefully several times could be quickly mastered by him.
No wonder his grades were so much better than hers. Bai Hui was a little envious, but she couldn't really blame herself. During her puberty, her development was concentrated in other areas; otherwise, she would have been able to do better in her studies.
While I wouldn't dare say she's on par with academic geniuses like Liu Chang'an and Gao Dewei, she's definitely comparable to An Nuan.
An Nuan was simply going through puberty when she made some choices, opting to make herself more capable of learning, which resulted in her becoming a skinny bamboo pole.
Compared to others, Bai Hui was more satisfied with herself. She wasn't exceptionally intelligent, but she was smart enough and had a good figure.
I wonder if Liu Chang'an sees it that way?
Pshaw, he definitely doesn't see it that way, otherwise he wouldn't have been won over by An Nuan.
"Why are you staring at my chest?" Bai Hui fell silent as she spoke. Liu Chang'an stared at the screen for a while before snapping out of his daze and looking at her, only to find her gaze fixed on his chest.
"Oh... no... your phone rang." Bai Hui quickly pointed to Liu Chang'an's phone and said.
Liu Chang'an accepted it casually.
"Yes... it's me. Yes, Bai Hui and I are together. We're having congee at a congee shop on Wuxiang Road."
"Is that An Nuan?" Bai Hui quickly leaned to the window and glanced out. Not seeing An Nuan outside, she quickly mouthed the question.
Liu Chang'an nodded.
"It's been a while, but we're not planning to leave anytime soon. Bai Hui hasn't even started eating her porridge yet. Would you like to come over?" Liu Chang'an asked.
Bai Hui hurriedly drank a few mouthfuls, then stamped her foot in frustration. How could this person talk nonsense? They were all drinking porridge together, but she hadn't even started eating hers for a long time. An Nuan must think she was stalling for time, wanting to spend more time with Liu Chang'an.
"Okay, I understand." Liu Chang'an was about to hang up the phone.
"Give me the phone!" Bai Hui said hurriedly.
"Wait a minute, Bai Hui needs to talk to you." Liu Chang'an handed the phone to Bai Hui.
Bai Hui took the phone in her hand, and her face lit up with a smile. "Yes... I was supposed to accompany Zhu Juntang to class this afternoon, and we were planning to grab something to eat together after class, but Zhu Juntang suddenly ran off... Oh, I was thinking of editing your photos and asking Liu Chang'an to take a look. We haven't even started eating the porridge yet. Come over... Okay, I'll send you sample pictures tonight."
An Nuan hung up the phone, Bai Hui returned the phone to Liu Chang'an, and then glared angrily at Liu Chang'an was completely speechless.
"What's wrong?" Liu Chang'an asked, puzzled.
Bai Hui snorted. Luckily, she had made herself clear; otherwise, wouldn't An Nuan have had the audacity to label Bai Hui a "green tea bitch"?
"Ah!"
An Nuan hung up the phone and rolled around on the sofa.
"Weren't you calm and collected, like the queen of the harem, when you were on the phone?" Liu Yuewang changed into her favorite cheongsam, leaned back on the sofa, and was happily munching on a large 4J cherry.
Seeing An Nuan's exasperation contrasted with her own composure, Liu Yuewang felt quite pleased; she loved watching An Nuan lose her temper and go berserk... For those who always like to show off their affection, such scenes are always very satisfying.
"Even if Liu Chang'an doesn't try to seduce anyone, he exudes a certain sultry aura that makes those vixens restless." An Nuan sat up, then stood up again, and then sat down again. "No, I can't go over there. People will think I'm watching Liu Chang'an too closely, and they'll make careless jokes about me in front of Liu Chang'an, which will inevitably embarrass Liu Chang'an or make him feel a little disgusted with me."
Liu Yuewang ate her cherries with relish, ignoring the television and focusing instead on An Nuan.
"I suspect that Bai Hui did accompany Zhu Juntang to class, but she definitely came because she knew Zhu Juntang and Liu Chang'an had the same class... Could it be that Zhu Juntang deliberately left to create an opportunity for Bai Hui?" An Nuan analyzed, her brows furrowing. "That's absolutely possible!"
"Are you stupid? Bai Hui is just an ordinary girl, while Zhu Juntang is so much better off! Why aren't you wary of Zhu Juntang? Why are you always causing trouble for Bai Hui?" Liu Yuewang shook her head and sighed, "You really know how to pick your targets for jealousy."
Liu Yuewang felt that An Nuan's jealousy always stemmed from inexplicable reasons, such as Qin Yanan, Bai Hui, and even her... her mother. It really infuriated Liu Yuewang... The person An Nuan should be most jealous of was Zhu Juntang!
"Bai Hui is just ordinary?" An Nuan crossed her arms and glared angrily at Liu Yuewang. These people were typical examples of those who were well-fed but didn't know the hunger of those who were starving. Professor Liu thought he had a good figure, so he didn't take Bai Hui seriously, but An Nuan didn't have that kind of confidence!
"It can't be said that she's just average... Overall, I think Zhu Juntang is a bigger threat." Liu Yuewang thought for a moment, and said that Bai Hui was just average mainly because she felt that Bai Hui was similar to An Nuan, not particularly outstanding, but passable.
"Zhu Juntang is no threat at all... Liu Chang'an doesn't care about her status as a rich heiress. He likes the kind of girl who is gentle, knows how to be coquettish, can act pitiful and cute, has a cute little bit of scheming, but not excessively so, cares about him a lot, but isn't possessive to the point of being insane..." An Nuan wrinkled her nose. "Originally, I was the only one who perfectly matched his preferences, but Bai Hui probably figured out Liu Chang'an's thoughts now and is pretending!"
"What are you pretending for? She just asked you to go have some porridge, but you refused. You'd rather put on a show for yourself here. You're crazy." Liu Yuewang continued eating cherries. Cherries are only good when they're big.
"She was so nonchalant because she knew I wouldn't go!" An Nuan also held a cherry in her hand. "Didn't you notice? Bai Hui's tone just now clearly conveyed a message to Liu Chang'an: I'll stay quiet, I won't cause you any trouble, I won't affect your love life. Whether you like it or not, I'll be here, waiting for you, watching over you."
"I can't stand you!" Liu Yuewang stood up and slapped An Nuan. "How could I have given birth to such a dramatic daughter?"
"No, I need to finish making the woolen scarf and hat for Liu Chang'an right away."
"How many months have you been knitting this?"
"The original one wasn't knitted well, so I unraveled it and re-knitted it."
An Nuan nervously took out her knitting needles and yarn, recalling how she had knitted a sweater for Liu Chang'an before, but later, realizing her mistake, she changed it to a scarf and hat... The whole thing started with Qin Yanan. She hadn't seen Qin Yanan causing any trouble at school lately, but Bai Hui was still a worry.
He pricked his finger again with the knitting needle, but he was having porridge with Bai Hui now, and he couldn't do what he did last time: knowing that An Nuan was being pretentious and affected, he still indulged all her desires to act cute.
