Chapter 6: Absolutely Do Not Make Unreasonable Demands

  Jiang Yu's head was buried in her chest, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. This lifetime, for the first time, she saw Yu Xiufan, and it was under such circumstances - it was truly something she couldn't have imagined even in her dreams! Her face must be very red now, because she felt like her face was hot enough to fry an egg.

  "Uh... I didn't really, just warming up my voice, heh, heh." He dryly laughed twice, and after seeing the amused expression on Yu Xiufan's face, Jiang Ruoyu was completely flustered.

  "I thought something was wrong with you, glad it's nothing. By the way, Xiaoyu, this is my brother, Yu Xiufan, he just graduated from Binjiang Medical University, have you met him?" Yu Shanshan warmly pulled Jiang Yuru's hand and forcibly dragged her in front of Yu Xiufan, coquettishly saying to Yu Xiufan: "Brother, this is my best friend Jiang Yuru. She's really great, often taking care of me at school."

  Yu Xiufan sized up the little girl in front of him, whose face was turning red like a tomato - her hair was very good, black and shiny, which was the most striking impression. She wasn't tall, but plump, looking particularly silly at first glance. The most beautiful thing on her lovely round face was those bright big eyes, with long eyelashes blinking, reminding him of the big dolls placed on top of Shan's bed. Now she bit her lip, looking extremely embarrassed, thinking of her "calling out" earlier and shaking her head, Yu Xiufan almost burst out laughing, his mouth wide open, holding back a smile to say: "Hello, can I call you Xiaoyu like Shan from now on?"

  Music, music kills you! Jiang Ruyu didn't miss Yu Xiufan's stifled laughter just now, and she rolled her eyes inwardly. Anyway, she wasn't some beauty, and she didn't expect to make someone fall in love at first sight. She had already sung the "Dolphin Sound", and it couldn't be taken back, so what was the use of being embarrassed? Love however you want!

  Thinking of this, Jiang Ruyu suddenly felt less awkward. Since there's nothing to worry about, she shouldn't be bothered by it either. She wasn't an ordinary person after all. What happened earlier was just a trivial matter, and with her mental preparation, she stretched out her hand and said: "Of course, hello Brother Yu Xiu Fan."

  Unexpectedly, Jiang Ruyu's performance was so different from before and after. Yu Xiufan was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his white and slender hand, shook hands with her small chubby hand, and said warmly: "Hello."

  Yu Shan Shan happily held Jiang Ruo Yu's hand with one hand and hooked her other arm around Yu Xi Fan's, "It's great! Both of you are accompanying me to school, I'll definitely have good luck today. Let's go, we can talk while walking. Little Rain, let me tell you, my brother is really awesome, he's super good at studying and plays the piano well too. When he was in school..."

  Jiang Yu walked forward while listening to Yu Xuanxuan's endless recounting of Yu Xiufan's glorious deeds from childhood to adulthood, a nostalgic smile playing on the corner of her mouth. In her memory, Yu Xiufan was indeed an outstanding person - excellent in studies, talented in many ways, and a good person too.

  She turned her head to look at him. His not-so-dark hair in the morning light was very soft, styled in the popular "Guo Fu Cheng" haircut. Because he was slender, he looked much taller than his actual 174cm height. He had a long face shape, faint eyebrows, a straight nose bridge, and an upturned mouth corner, as if always smiling. His facial features were extremely gentle, giving people a warm and elegant impression.

  This elegant young man was the one she had secretly loved for so long in her past life! Jiang Ruyu blinked, and a sour taste rose up in her heart. Thinking of her past self, who was chubby and introverted, after Yu Shanshan passed away, she would still hide in the corridor next to his house until 9 pm without going home, just to catch a glimpse of him. She couldn't help but smile wryly. It turned out that she had also experienced the passion of youth before.

  Feeling Jiang Yu's gaze, Yu Xiufan turned his head and smiled slightly. Jiang Yu also came back to her senses and smiled, calmly shifting her line of sight away.

  No matter what, she's back now. This life, she won't repeat the same mistakes or leave any regrets. Thinking of this, Jiang Ruyu smiled with a hint of longing. She's only 15 years old, her future is long, and now she has parents, good friends, another chance to study, and maybe even beautiful love in the future. What's the point of dwelling on past things that have already gone by? Besides, this isn't the time to think about romantic feelings, but rather how to change the fate of her whole family. Her parents' and Yu Shanshan's futures are all waiting for her to make a change - she doesn't have so much time to indulge in childish romance! Jiang Ruyu's previous gloomy mood was swept away, replaced by motivation once again. She unconsciously tightened her grip on Yu Shanshan's hand.

  "Xiao Yu, did you hear what I said?"

  "Ah? I heard it, of course I heard it." Jiang Ruyu said with a straight face and an air of confidence, ignoring Xiu Fan's teasing smile.

  "Oh, by the way, have you told your mom about the tutoring?"

  Jiang Yu nodded: "I said, my mom asked me to ask you how much the tutoring fee is, and let's go together on the weekend."

  "That's great!" Yu Shanshan jumped up happily again, "The tuition fee is 30 yuan, just pay the teacher when the time comes. I was originally afraid to go to that cram school alone, but you can accompany me, hehe."

  Jiang Yu was infected by Yu Xianxian's emotions and also smiled happily. "That's right, we're iron buddies, whether it's going up the mountain or down to the oil pot, it's just a matter of one sentence!"

  "Pffft!"

  Such a boastful remark coming from a less-than-1.6-meter-tall, chubby little girl directly caused Yu Xiufan to unceremoniously spit it out again.

  Jiang Yu shot him a white look, wasn't he a pretty dignified person in his past life? How did she only discover now that he loved to make fun of people?

  At this time, Yu Xiang shook Jiang Ruoyu's hand and pointed to the back of a person who had just gotten out of a white sedan and was walking towards the school with a backpack, asking: "Hey, Xiaoyu, is that Wang Xiao?"

  "Seems so, what's up?"

  "His family seems quite wealthy, they even have a car to send him to school." Yusan said with stars in her eyes, admiringly.

  Jiang Yu pouted, "If they have it, then they have it. If others have it, they'll bring it with them."

  Yu Xiufan looked at Jiang Ruoyu with some surprise, and Jiang Ruoyu gave him a polite smile. She pulled Yu Shanshan along, saying: "Shanshan, we're almost at school, let's go first and let your brother get busy."

  "Okay, brother, aren't you going to the library?"

  "Well, I'll go first. You guys be careful on the road." Yu Xiufan waved his hand and gave Jiang Ruoyu a smile before turning to walk towards the nearby bus stop.

  When Yu Xiufan was not by her side, Jiang Yuru suddenly felt a lot more relaxed and chatted with Yu Shanshan as they walked to school. Ahead of them appeared a fork in the road, Jiang Yuru remembered that taking the shortcut through the small alley would save at least five minutes compared to walking on the main road, she had often taken this route when going to school in her past life, so she pulled Yu Shanshan towards the alley.

  "Xiao Yu, have you also noticed that school is almost starting?"

  Yes.

  "I walked with my mom last time, but when I'm alone, I don't dare to walk. There's a big dog behind the fence in front."

  Jiang Yu smiled and said: "It can't come out again, what are you afraid of?"

  "Woof — Woof Woof —"

  As soon as Jiang Yu's voice fell, a burst of barking was heard, accompanied by someone cursing and a strange muffled sound. Yu Shan was so frightened that she hid behind Jiang Yu, not daring to move. Jiang Yu patted her hand, "You wait here, I'll go take a look." After saying this, he ignored Yu Shan's attempts to stop him, took out the moves he had learned from "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", and stealthily crept forward...
