Chapter 6 The Promise with Yang Huimin

After Jiang Xun finished changing the tire, Yang Huimin insisted on paying him 20 yuan for his labor.

Before leaving, she couldn't help but offer some words of advice:

"Xiao Jiang, a smart kid like you can learn anything quickly, so why don't you study hard and get into a good university?"

Yang Huimin genuinely hoped that Jiang Xun could have a bright future; it would be such a waste if he were to squander the rest of his life in this small county town.

She didn't know Jiang Xun before, and she disliked this boy who only liked to read novels and sleep in class.

But after getting to know him better, she realized that this boy actually had so many good qualities besides not liking to study.

Humorous, cheerful, polite, good-natured, and handsome...

Therefore, she really wanted to persuade Jiang Xun to study hard so that he could leave this small county town in the mountains and see the outside world.

"Teacher, I've been studying hard," Jiang Xun said innocently.

"If you studied English properly, could you get 40 points?" Yang Huimin glared at him, then said earnestly:

"If you're going to study hard, you should study every subject seriously, not just one."

"Your math is pretty good, you can score 6 or 70, but even if you spend all your time studying math, can you score 130 or 140?"

"But if you develop a balanced approach across all subjects, you can improve your score by several tens of points in each subject..."

“Yes, teacher,” Jiang Xun suddenly interrupted Yang Huimin’s long-winded explanation.

"What?" Yang Huimin was stunned for a moment.

“I said I can get 130 or 140 in math.” Jiang Xun’s expression was very serious, not at all like he was joking.

Yang Huimin paused slightly, then laughed in exasperation. She chuckled and said:
"Okay, if you can really score 130 or 140, I'll do whatever you want."

"Really?" Jiang Xun's eyes lit up, and his gaze unconsciously fell on the black-stockinged legs.

Yang Huimin glared at her and said, "What are you thinking? I mean, I'll do whatever you want in my English class."

"Oh." Jiang Xun looked disappointed, then asked with a smile, "What if I could get 130 or 140 on my English test?"

"You've got some nerve," Yang Huimin chuckled. "If you could get such a high score in English, I'll grant you one wish."

"But don't go too far," Yang Huimin quickly added, fearing that Jiang Xun might say something outrageous.

"It's a deal!" Jiang Xun, afraid that Yang Huimin would go back on her word, quickly extended his palm.

"What?" Yang Huimin looked at him in confusion.

"I'll make a promise with a high five, I'm afraid you're just trying to fool me," Jiang Xun chuckled.

"Childish!" Yang Huimin curled her lips in disdain, but still stretched out her fair and slender hand and gently patted Jiang Xun.

"I'm leaving." At this moment, Yang Huimin strode towards the driver's side door with her long legs and waved casually at Jiang Xun.

"Teacher, can we add each other on QQ? I can ask you questions if I have any." Jiang Xun also wanted to get her contact information.

"We'll talk when you pass your English exam," Yang Huimin said, before getting into the driver's seat and driving away.

Jiang Xun watched the white Chevrolet disappear into the distance before returning to his computer desk.

This time, he stopped reading those random books and went straight to practicing physics.

After all, if you want to improve your English, you have to finish high school physics first.

I've already gotten 70% on my elementary physics exam. If I work overtime tonight, I should be able to get 100%.

Jiang Xun didn't wait for his uncle to return from outside in the afternoon, so he left first because he had to attend evening self-study.

Before going home, he went to a barbershop on the pedestrian street to get a haircut.

There weren't many good-looking hairstyles in that era, so he simply had the barber give him a buzz cut.

It's often said that a buzz cut is the only true test of a man's looks; you can tell if someone is handsome just by looking at their hair. Jiang Xun, after getting a buzz cut, sported a neat, dark, and sturdy style that accentuated his well-defined features, making him appear even more dashing.

Beneath his sword-like eyebrows were a pair of deep, dark eyes, piercing with a sharpness and vigor unique to youth.

With a high nose bridge and tightly pursed lips that exude a stubbornness, her jawline is clean and sharp, carrying a hint of youthful naiveté.

In addition, he has a slender figure, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, making him look like a cute wolf.

When he got home, his mother was already cooking. She was quite surprised to see his new hairstyle, his tall and straight posture, and his fair skin.

"Son, what have you been doing? You seem like a completely different person." Zheng Yun pulled Jiang Xun up and down, looking him up and down with a hint of suspicion in her eyes.

"Mom, I just went to get a haircut. The hair salon was having a promotion, offering a free deep facial cleansing, so I just got my face washed. It can't be that serious, can it?"

Jiang Xun casually made up a story, then changed the subject:
"By the way, Mom, I'll take you to that shop sometime and have them give you a face wash too."

Zheng Yun quickly shook her head, "I'm already so old, why would I need to wash my face? I'm not a young girl in my twenties anymore. Besides, it's not like I can't wash at home."

Jiang Xun sighed inwardly. In her past life, her mother had never washed her face or hair outside, nor had she ever worn makeup.

Even after their living conditions improved, they still lived a very simple life.

Ultimately, it's because he's not capable enough to make his mother feel at ease enjoying herself; after all, what woman doesn't love beauty?

Therefore, in this lifetime, I must help my parents get rid of their hardships as soon as possible and enjoy life.

……

After finishing his meal, Jiang Xun carried his schoolbag to school. Sunday evening self-study started at 7:00 and ended at 8:40.

Although he was still wearing a very ordinary T-shirt and trousers, quite a few young girls were secretly looking at him as he walked down the street.

This allowed him to finally experience firsthand what it felt like to see a handsome guy walking down the street.

"Jiang Xun!" Jiang Xun ran into a familiar classmate, Chen Shixuan, the class's arts and culture representative, right at the school gate.

She is an art student who usually takes art classes outside of school and only occasionally returns to the school.

"Wow, how come you've become so handsome after just a few days?" Chen Shixuan looked at Jiang Xun in surprise and even reached out to pinch his cheek.

"Da Xuanzi, just talk, don't get handsy, or I'll sue you for indecent assault."

Jiang Xun slapped away her fair, delicate hand with a look of disgust.

"So what if I'm being a pervert?" Chen Shixuan got excited when Jiang Xun wouldn't let her pinch her, and started using both hands.

"Try again, and I'll get my hands on you too." Jiang Xun dodged while looking at her with ill intent.

Chen Shixuan is about 168 cm tall, with a beautiful oval face and a pair of alluring foxy eyes.

She was dressed very boldly, wearing a tight short-sleeved top and denim hot pants, revealing a section of her fair waistline and her round thighs.

Ordinary girls wouldn't dare to dress like that; it's only because she's an art student that the school has relatively lax regulations for this type of student.

She studied dance and sang very well. She could sing and dance, and often participated in school activities. She was quite famous in the county's No. 1 High School.

She was considered a campus beauty in the eyes of many boys.

She has a very outgoing personality and gets along well with many boys, making her very popular with them. Girls secretly call her a vixen.

Because both she and Jiang Xun had relatively poor grades in the class, and they had been deskmates for a period of time, they had a good relationship.

At this moment, she raised both hands high, wanting to pinch Jiang Xun's cheeks. Jiang Xun looked down and saw the round, white breasts under the open neckline.

"Where are you looking!" Chen Shixuan noticed Jiang Xun's gaze and immediately gave him a light punch.
