Chapter 30: My Brother Thinks I"m Hungry

Nan Qiao ran into the cla.s.sroom in a hurry and was almost late again.

She was panting.

An Nuo poked her back and asked, "Why did you come so late today?"

Nan Qiao"s clear eyes were filled with light. She bit her lips in distress and exhaled hot air. "It"s all because my brother was afraid that I would be hungry in the morning and made me eat a lot. After all, he had good intentions so I can"t not eat it. Now that I"ve eaten so much, I"m stuffed to death."

An Nuo felt that she was hurt.

She wished she could stuff a piece of cloth into her mouth and bite it so that she would not make a jealous sound.

It would be a great honor to have such a handsome man to watch her eat. Nan Qiao actually did not know how lucky she was!

What a sin!

"If you can"t enjoy it, I can help you!"

She even dreamt of it!

"Uh…" Nan Qiao blinked awkwardly. "Then you have to work hard. If you become my sister-in-law, I"d be fine with it. Since my brother is so good to me, he should treat his wife even better!"

With that, she even made an encouraging gesture.

Nan Zhi looked at the two people talking and laughing over there and felt that Nan Qiao"s smile was blinding her. Her hands under the desk could not help but clenched into fists again.

Nan Qiao, laugh to your heart"s content now. I"ll make sure you can"t laugh later.

After the morning self-study session, Huo Yichen brought the things he had made for Nan Zhi to Cla.s.s Two"s cla.s.sroom. He placed the things on Nan Zhi"s desk casually and turned to leave.

The surrounding girls were already revealing envious gazes.

"Wow, Nan Zhi, you"re too lucky. This is something Huo Yichen gave you. Open it quickly and see what it is."

"Nan Zhi, Huo Yichen is chasing you, right? How is it? How does it feel to be chased by the school hunk? Does it feel good?"

"I also want to experience the feeling of being chased by the school hunk."

"Hurry up and open it to see what it is."

"This is a gift from the most handsome student, Huo Yichen. It definitely won"t be bad."

Nan Zhi glanced at Nan Qiao smugly. Since she liked Huo Yichen so much, she should be very sad now, right?

Nan Zhi stretched out her slender fingers as she slowly opened the box. The box was filled with cookies, the most ordinary kind. They did not look very good, but it was obvious that they were made by him.

Many girls were a little disappointed. They did not expect it to be this. They thought it was something good.

But on second thought, it made sense. Huo Yichen"s family was very poor to begin with. It was already very good that he could give such a thing.

As if sensing the thoughts in everyone"s head, Nan Zhi picked up a biscuit and placed it in her mouth.

"Everyone, don"t think that this biscuit is nothing special, it actually tastes very good. It doesn"t taste the same as the ones sold outside."

With that, Nan Zhi pushed the wheelchair to Nan Qiao"s side, her smile beautiful.

"Sister, try it too."

Nan Qiao turned a deaf ear and focused on her own business. The hand that Nan Zhi handed over stopped in midair, making the scene very awkward.

Nan Zhi was very smug. It was good that Nan Qiao did not pick it up. It seemed like she had really hurt Nan Qiao this time.

It"d even made her this angry.

If she did not take the biscuits, everyone would have something to say.

"Sister, why aren"t you taking my biscuits? Are you still angry with me?" Nan Zhi retracted her hand and bit her lip, asking pitifully.

"Sister, I"m sorry. It"s all my fault. I couldn"t stop Grandpa and Grandma from chasing you out. But at that time, I was in the hospital and I couldn"t contact them. Moreover, even if Grandpa and Grandma allowed it, there are still the Big Brothers and Mom and Dad…"

Nan Zhi felt extremely aggrieved. Her nose was slightly red, and so were the two sides of her eyes. She looked innocent and pitiful.

However, Nan Qiao still did not move. Even An Nuo could not stand it anymore and poked Nan Qiao. Unexpectedly, Nan Qiao immediately replied.

"What"s wrong?"

An Nuo asked, "The white lotus flowers are blooming. Aren"t you going to smell the fragrance?"

"Fragrance? I can only detect a foul smell. How would I know who she"s talking to? I"m not her sister. My Mom only has me as her daughter," Nan Qiao said casually, but it was the same as throwing knives at Nan Zhi.

A tear fell on the back of Nan Zhi"s hand, her straight hair hanged gently on both sides. There were tears flickering in her eyes, and soon, her sudden sobs and sparkling tears fell one by one, as if someone was bullying her. It was a pitiful sight.

Nan Zhi was her stepmother"s daughter, so her ident.i.ty was different from Nan Qiao"s. To put it bluntly, she was a burden brought by her stepmother.

In the past, Nan Qiao"s unruly and willful personality had long been known by everyone.

If this matter happened in someone else"s house, they would definitely stand on the side of the first wife"s daughter.

However, Nan Zhi was different. Firstly, it was because Nan Zhi had the halo of a female lead. Secondly, it was because Nan Qiao had already been kicked out of the Nan family.

"Zhizhi, don"t cry. She"s clearly being shameless. Let"s just ignore her, no need to offer the biscuits to her." Qiuqiu comforted Nan Zhi and pushed Nan Zhi"s wheelchair away.

The students in the cla.s.s seemed to have been polarized. On one side, there were people surrounding Nan Zhi to fight for justice, and on the other side, there was only An Nuo on Nan Qiao"s side.

"I used to think that Nan Zhi was very delicate, but I didn"t expect her to get worse now. She"s crying over things so trivial. Those who don"t know better would think that someone bullied her."

An Nuo drank the milk and supported her head with her hand as she looked at Nan Zhi.

Hearing this, Nan Qiao, who was sitting in the front seat, could not help but smile. "If she doesn"t do this, who will feel sorry for her?"

"Tsk, it"s not like she"s relying on other people"s heartache to survive. Those with ability should work hard to prove themselves. People like her are called crooked people."

An Nuo liked smart people, but hated people who challenged others" bottom line just because they were a little smart.

There was no doubt that Nan Zhi was smart, but in An Nuo"s opinion, Nan Zhi was up to no good and did not use her intelligence in the right place.

Nan Qiao"s eyebrows twitched when she heard An Nuo"s comments.

She did not expect this little girl to have such a personality.

Under the cute appearance of the little loli, there was a gossipy and upright heart.

She was a straightforward person who said whatever she wanted. Such a person rejected everything in a fancy manner.

It was no wonder that Nan Zhi"s schemes were despised by An Nuo.

Seeing Nan Qiao turn around to look at her with eyes that seemed to be probing and admiring, An Nuo let go of the tightly clenched straw.

"Why are you looking at me? Am I wrong?"

"That"s right. I was wondering why you have such a personality."

The corners of An Nuo"s mouth twitched. "Tsk, our family has a lot of aunts. I have a few cousins like her. I"m already used to it. Moreover, I have an aunt who always comes to my house to pretend to be pitiful and weak. But my mother knows how to deal with her."

Now Nan Qiao understood. So she had a mother to learn from.
