Chapter 259 Draw your sword, Sister Jiang is mine
"Hello."
Chen Jianghe called calmly, and after hearing Jiang Yishu's soft response, he smiled excitedly and said, "What day is today? Yishu actually took the initiative to call me. Your number hasn't appeared in my phone's caller ID for several months."
Chen Jianghe did not lie at all. Jiang Yishu rarely called him on her own initiative, and he specifically stated this fact, which was equivalent to telling Teacher Xu : Jiang Yishu and I rarely contact each other, or even never contact each other.
More importantly, when he answered the phone, his expression was very natural, his voice didn't tremble at all, and the excitement on his face and the smile at the corners of his mouth perfectly showed the normal reaction of receiving a call from an old classmate.
"Has it been that long? " Jiang Yishu thought about it and realized that she hadn't called Chen Jianghe for several months. Most of the time, he was the one who took the initiative. She usually only sent text messages when she missed him very much.
"Yes, it's been ridiculously long." Chen Jianghe joked with a smile: "Is it because a poor student like me doesn't deserve the care and regards from the top students of 985 universities?"
"No." Jiang Yishu denied in a low voice, and then asked him: "What are you doing?"
"I'm driving." Chen Jianghe answered truthfully and asked with a smile, "Do you need me for something?"
"Yeah." Jiang Yishu hummed and said, "The high school class monitor suggested organizing a class reunion before the New Year. Everyone said they wanted to go to Longdong University Town for a stroll, and they all asked you to treat them to a meal."
"Classmates' reunion is very meaningful, and it's no problem to treat us." Chen Jianghe nodded and responded calmly: "I support it unconditionally."
After that, he asked one more question: "Anything else?"
This is the spoken phrase to end the call.
Under normal circumstances, if Chen Jianghe received a call from Jiang Yishu, he would definitely chat with her for a while, even if it was just to listen to her talk about her daily life at school, or what interesting things she had done with her aunt recently.
The situation is different now, and it is best to keep call duration within one minute.
"No, see you this weekend." Jiang Yishu responded softly, looked up at the high school classmates around her, and whispered, "He promised to treat us."
Chen Jianghe heard the cheers and boos from many people on the other end of the phone, smiled and said, "Okay, see you this weekend."
Then he hung up the phone, looked at the call duration, 45 seconds, and looked at Xu Zhixi again, her expression was normal.
"It was the prettiest girl in your high school class who called you, right?" Xu Zhixi asked calmly. Although she had seen the caller ID just now, she didn't want to make it too obvious.
"Yes." Chen Jianghe nodded and admitted, and added: "Before you said that I had a crush on her, the class beauty who I stole my eyes , Jiang Yishu."
"So are you really secretly in love with her?" Xu Zhixi asked sullenly.
"If I say no, I'd be lying. After all, more than half of the boys in our class have a crush on her. It's like a herd mentality."
Chen Jianghe looked calm and even reminisced when he told her about the funniest things in high school: "The funniest thing was when the boys in the dormitory mentioned her, they asked each other: Do you like her? Yes, I do! What a coincidence, me too."
"In the end, someone always shouts, 'Draw your sword, Sister Jiang is mine!'" Chen Jianghe said with a smile.
"So silly." After listening to what he said, Xu Zhixi couldn't help but want to laugh, but then she changed her mind and thought, this is what youth is all about. Boys aged sixteen or seventeen like to follow the trend in many things, and sometimes even the girls they secretly love are surprisingly consistent with them.
Everyone goes through that age. When Xu Zhixi was in middle school, many boys had a crush on her, and it is still the same now.
When Chen Jianghe heard Xu Zhixi say "How silly", he felt that he had escaped the danger. After all, the conversation between him and Jiang Yishu was just a normal one between classmates. After hanging up the phone, he answered Teacher Xu's questions very frankly.
Women have strong intuition and can often see through men's lies easily, so many times, the more honest a man is, the easier it is for him to be accepted.
Of course, being frank does not mean being honest. If you answer whatever she asks without restraint and without any falsehood, that is foolish behavior and will be counterproductive. Because in the eyes of girls, a man with a bit of mystery that makes her unpredictable is more attractive.
"I feel like she likes you, too." Xu Zhixi's eyes flickered as she looked at Chen Jianghe and asked, "You always told me before that you would go find other female classmates. Could it be that you are going to find her?"
"How about I bring you along to the class reunion this weekend and show off my beautiful girlfriend to everyone?"
Chen Jianghe did not directly answer this life-threatening question, but instead used an action that seemed risky but was actually safe to dispel Xu Zhixi's doubts.
"Not so good." Xu Zhixi pouted and said a little arrogantly, "Who wants to be taken out by you to show off? You are so beautiful."
"Finding a beautiful girlfriend but not showing her off is like making a lot of money but not showing off at home. It's very uncomfortable." Chen Jianghe smiled and said, "But I have always been a low-key person. I don't show off my wealth and I don't get proud. I find a beautiful wife for myself."
"Self-admiration means being self-righteous..." Xu Zhixi corrected.
"Not only is she beautiful, but she's also so educated. I can't stand it." Chen Jianghe unbuckled his seat belt and approached Xu Zhixi with a smile.
"What are you doing..." Xu Zhixi raised her hand to hold him back.
Chen Jianghe stared at her with his eyes, gentle and affectionate: "It's not too much to kiss my girlfriend, right?"
"You are not allowed to kiss me." Xu Zhixi snorted and said with pursed lips: "Go kiss another female classmate."
"You've already pouted your lips, and you still say you don't want me to kiss you?"
Chen Jianghe stretched out his hand and pressed her against the car door. His domineering actions made Xu Zhixi's cheeks red and her eyes watered. Her chest heaved and she said coquettishly, "You bastard, you are so bad. I want to go back and don't want to go shopping with you anymore."
"Now that you're here, can you still go back?" Chen Jianghe smiled and said, "Today the sun is shining brightly and the breeze is not too dry, which is perfect for shopping."
After saying that, Chen Jianghe got out of the car first, then walked to the passenger seat, opened the door, and held Xu Zhixi's soft hand: "Get out of the car, I'll take you to spend money."
Xu Zhixi looked up at this bastard who made her both angry and loved, then obediently got out of the car and walked side by side with him.
The afternoon sun was bright but not dazzling, the light autumn breeze was refreshing, and walking hand in hand with Chen Jianghe felt very intimate.
When they reached the main gate of Tianhe City, Chen Jianghe suddenly remembered something and took the initiative to say, "By the way, I almost forgot to remind you that Teacher Tao Xinran is a liar."
"Hmm?" Xu Zhixi looked confused.
"She promised to introduce me to some of her old classmates from the School of Political Science and Law and said we should have dinner together, but she ended up delaying me for more than a month."
Chen Jianghe shook his head and sighed: "You should be more careful in the future and don't be fooled by her."
Xu Zhixi smiled and said, "How about I call her over and you ask her in person?"
"No." Chen Jianghe refused decisively. He raised his palm and the hand-holding action naturally turned into an embrace around the waist: "We were originally very sweet when we were shopping together. If you call her over, I will most likely become a bag-carrying machine without any feelings."
Xu Zhixi blushed and whispered, "Hold on, don't sink down..."
Chen Jianghe smiled cheekily: "Sorry, I'm sinking in the river."
