Chapter 50: She Was So Justified

Jiang Yubing slightly pressed her lips together and lifted her hand to smooth the hair beside her ear.

“No need, send it to me and I will edit it for you.”

Shen Qingxuan felt a little surprised when he heard that.

Could the campus belle also suffer appearance anxiety?

Impossible!

With her looks, she would look good even without clothes.

“You can edit photos too?”

“No?”

“???”

She sounded so justified!

But he liked it.

“Then you’d better give me my phone back.” Shen Qingxuan pulled a wry face.

That shot caught him when he had no defense at all.

It must have looked terribly ugly.

He did not want his lifelong reputation ruined in an instant.

Jiang Yubing folded her arms and gave him a sidelong glance. “What’s with that expression? You don’t trust my skills?”

“Of course not, I just… suddenly remembered something sad.”

“Could it be you have Jade Syndrome?”

Shen Qingxuan froze at the sudden question.

His gaze subconsciously fell on Jiang Yubing’s legs.

Jade legs also counted as jade!

In that case, he really seemed to be sick!

And the condition was serious.

Seeing his look, Jiang Yubing instantly understood what he was thinking.

She immediately raised her small pink fist and shook it in the air.

“Have you seen a fist the size of a sandbag?”

“Heroine, spare me.”

Jiang Yubing laughed at that cry of “heroine.”

“Since you understand so well, I’ll spare you this time.”

“Thank you, heroine.” Shen Qingxuan clasped his fists in thanks.

…

Afternoon.

The two just returned to the small courtyard.

The enthusiastic elders pulled Jiang Yubing aside and chatted about family matters.

Shen Qingxuan felt utterly bored.

He simply moved a little stool and sat at the small courtyard gate, enjoying the breeze.

While he relaxed, he accidentally looked back and saw a sneaky Shen Qingshu.

“Cousin, why are you acting so guilty? Where are you going?”

“Shh, I need to talk to you.” Shen Qingshu made a hush gesture.

He looked around, made sure his parents were not nearby, and then dragged Shen Qingxuan out of the small courtyard.

As soon as they stepped out of the courtyard gate, Shen Qingshu asked impatiently, “Brother Xuan, how did you do it?”

“???”

What play was this?

Why did he suddenly call him brother?

Their two families did not seem that close!

Shen Qingxuan looked confused. “What do you mean?”

Shen Qingshu pressed his palms together and showed a flattering face.

“Brother Xuan, how did you abduct Miss Jiang and bring her home? As long as you teach me, you will be my big brother from now on.”

When Shen Qingxuan heard that, the corner of his mouth twitched violently.

He wished he knew how to pursue her.

“Ahem, cousin.”

“Call me little brother; you are my big brother.”

“To tell you the truth, I don’t know how to court her either.”

He certainly could not tell Shen Qingshu the whole truth.

“Big Bro, you’re just being modest. Could it be Miss Jiang pursued you instead?”

For a moment Shen Qingxuan did not know how to respond.

Just then, Jiang Yubing appeared at the doorway.

Shen Qingxuan, who had been entangled by Shen Qingshu, felt exhausted.

When he saw her, he rushed over with a broad smile.

“Why do you look so happy when you see me?”

“Ah? Maybe it’s because you’re pretty.”

Jiang Yubing’s pretty face flushed faintly.

Was he flirting with her?

“Come in and eat.”

…

Evening.

In the living room.

Jiang Yubing crossed her arms and stood behind Shen Qingxuan, watching his brilliant moves in the game, and the corner of her mouth lifted slightly.

“You’re about to win!”

Hearing her voice, Shen Qingxuan paused his operation, turned his head, and showed a brilliant smile.

“Wait until I finish this round and I’ll carry you.”

Shen Qingxuan spoke excitedly.

Jiang Yubing took out a box of pastries from somewhere, opened it, and handed one to him.

“Here, a reward for you, taste it.”

Shen Qingxuan’s eyes lit up at once; it turned out to be his favorite salted egg yolk pastry.

Yet watching Jiang Yubing’s smiling eyes, he felt a little hesitant.

“What? You dislike it?”

Shen Qingxuan felt a chill at his waist.

He felt that if he answered “yes” or just nodded today, his kidneys might not survive.

“How could I!” He laughed awkwardly.

Facing her steady gaze, he finally compromised and bit it into his mouth.

“Slow down, you almost bit my hand.”

With the pastry still stuffed in his mouth, Shen Qingxuan’s cheeks bulged.

He smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

After he swallowed the pastry, he said, “The pastries you bought were so delicious that I couldn’t resist.”

Jiang Yubing let out a cold snort.

He even learned to flatter now.

But she would not buy it!

Jiang Yubing raised her chin proudly. “Humph! Of course.”

While Shen Qingxuan ate, Jiang Yubing suddenly leaned toward him.

Shen Qingxuan’s breath stalled in an instant.

In that moment, their faces were extremely close.

He could even see the fine fuzz on her face.

Was she going to…

Shen Qingxuan closed his eyes subconsciously, his heart pounding like thunder, with faint anticipation in his heart.

“You have pastry crumbs on your face, I’ll wipe them off for you.”

Jiang Yubing spoke softly and then picked up a tissue to gently wipe the crumbs from his face.

Shen Qingxuan opened his eyes, looking embarrassed.

He thought…

It turned out he overthought.

“Why did you close your eyes?”

Shen Qingxuan waved his hands. “No, no, I thought…”

She leaned toward him again and asked deliberately, “You thought I was going to kiss you?”

Shen Qingxuan’s face turned bright red and he hurriedly refuted, “N-no.”

Jiang Yubing shook her head with a smile; her idiot husband was really easy to shy.

To spare him from embarrassment, she changed the topic. “Didn’t you say you would carry me?”

When he heard that, he immediately perked up.

“Sure, sure, what role do you want to play? I’ll teach you.”

“Kiddie Egg.”

“Okay.”

The two teamed up and started playing.

Shen Qingxuan operated while patiently explaining techniques to her.

Jiang Yubing learned quickly, and soon grasped the basics of the game; the two coordinated more and more smoothly.

After several rounds, she stretched and looked up at the night sky outside the window.

It was already late; the promised reward had not yet been cashed in!

“Play a bit longer, I have something to do.”

After saying that, Jiang Yubing walked into the bedroom。
