Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law

Chapter 24: Chapter 024 Copying Homework_1

“Student Jiang Nanfei, how come you don’t recognize me? I’m Lu Qingtian!”

Nan Fei blinked her shiny eyes, a hint of confusion flickering through them. Her thick, fan-like eyelashes looked particularly beautiful. “Are you… Lu Zhishen?”

She finally remembered – her classmate from high school. Her memory was still fresh because he had such a ferocious reputation at school back then.

Embarrassed, Lu Qingtian waved his butcher’s knife in his hand, frightening Nan Fei into taking a step back. Could it be that he was upset because she had mentioned his nickname?

Was he going to commit violence right here on the street?

However, as soon as she stepped back, she bumped unknowingly into a broad embrace. The man’s scorching body heat seeped through the thin clothes, causing her to want to dodge, but she ended up being held tighter.

...

“Are you alright?” Huo Beijiang’s voice was deep; he easily picked her up with one arm and moved her to a safe distance.

His eyes, black as ink, scrutinized Lu Qingtian.

Lu Qingtian’s knife dropped onto the chopping board with a clatter, and his eyes stared straight behind Jiang Nanfei.

Jiang Nanfei stepped back in embarrassment to put some distance between her and Huo Beijiang. For her, being with Huo Beijiang was the real danger. “Why are you here?” @@novelbin@@

Could he have followed her out all the way?

“To take you home.” Huo Beijiang stood tall among the crowd in the farmers’ market, his presence standing out like a sore thumb. The air around him seemed to thin as he stared straight at Jiang Nanfei.

“I don’t need you to…” Not even finishing the word “send”, she was already cut off.

“That’s not for you to decide.” Huo Beijiang’s smile played at the corner of his mouth. He started to speak but decided that this was not the place to talk.

Seeing that she indeed seemed a little scared of him, he had to say: “You go shopping first. I will wait for you outside.” After finishing speaking, he signaled to the meat-selling Uncle Lu.

“All right!” Big and burly Uncle Lu exclaimed with a smile.

Jiang Nanfei watched Huo Beijiang’s retreating figure and quietly sighed with relief: “Student Qing Tian, please weigh me three kilograms of meat.”

Jiang Nanfei pointed to the big bone on the stall. “I’ll take this bone as well.”

“All right!” Lu Qingtian’s eyes were smiling as he looked at her – an even creepier gaze than Huo Beijiang’s, “I’ll give you the bone for free! No charge.”

With that, he skillfully cut the meat and chopped the bone, his knife flying. Uncle Lu by his side nodded with satisfaction from time to time.

“No, that’s not right! You must charge me.” She could not feel good about taking other people’s things for no reason. Besides, although Lu Qingtian was her classmate, they had never interacted or even spoken to each other.

In her previous life, she was silly, spending all her time playing with Huo Jinlan, which made her miss the chance to make friends with others.

“Just lend me your homework to copy.”

“…” Nan Fei was stunned. Did she hear that wrong? Wasn’t it supposed to be borrowing notes to copy? She wondered if it was okay to blatantly ask to copy homework in front of one’s own father.

“Hahaha… Student Jiang Nanfei, we will be relying on you to help our Qing Tian from now on. Thank you.”

Uncle Lu’s laughter mirrored Lu Qingtian’s – both of them squinted, which made them look a bit silly.

“… uh… there’s… no need for thanks… uh…” Nan Fei was truly perplexed. She wanted to ask Uncle Lu if he understands what it meant by copying homework?
