What if you were targeted by a cool and aloof beauty?

Without the slightest hesitation, An Chen agreed immediately.

This sounds like a great opportunity, provided that no more oddballs like Su Zhi appear.

"Mmm." Jiuge nodded vigorously, looking very happy.

After finishing the bowl of noodles, An Chen wiped his mouth.

He noticed that Jiuge had really become very strange. When he glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, she was eating big mouthfuls of food, but when he looked directly at her, she immediately started eating in small bites.

For some inexplicable reason, An Chen remembered the catchy song he had heard an hour earlier.

"Jiuge," he suddenly called out.

"What's wrong?" Jiuge looked up in surprise.

"You're really great," An Chen praised.

Chapter 38 Little Black

As if realizing something, Jiuge's entire face turned bright red in an instant, as if she had a fever.

Within seconds, her eyes were already filled with tears...

With moist eyes, Jiu Ge looked at An Chen, then lowered her head heavily, her shoulders beginning to tremble.

"..."

An Chen felt that he might have gone a bit too far.

I don’t know if she felt the society was dead, but for a long time, Jiu Ge kept her head down and remained motionless in her seat.

The cashier gave them a strange look, and passersby kept pointing and whispering about An Chen.

It seems incomprehensible why he would let such a beautiful girlfriend end up looking so pitiful.

"I really think you're great."

After thinking for a moment, An Chen decided to play dumb to the end.

"Don't you want me to praise you?" He shook his head, feigning surprise.

"Are you simply complimenting me?"

Jiuge was greatly shocked and looked up with some confusion.

Isn't the coincidence a bit too high?

"Yeah, I just can't help but want to praise you from time to time," An Chen said while thinking.

"I thought you would like to be praised by me, but it seems I was overthinking it." As he spoke, his expression returned to calm.

"Are you really... just complimenting me?"

Jiuge was skeptical when she heard this.

Although her heart skipped a beat when she heard An Chen say that, and she was indeed quite happy, her woman's intuition told her that things weren't that simple.

After all, he didn't seem as honest as he appeared. He had always done inhuman things and acted like a scoundrel towards her at the drop of a hat.

"It's true." An Chen said with a sincere and innocent expression.

"OK then……"

With a soft hum and a slight upturn of her lips, Jiu Ge stood up.

It seems she misunderstood; An Chen didn't hear the inspirational song she had been listening to all morning.

Since discovering a very popular video on the Pilipili bullet screen website with the title "Watching it once a day gives me more confidence" a while ago, Jiuge felt like she had discovered a new continent.

I downloaded it and listened to it secretly whenever I had free time.

The song was strange, and the accompanying video was even stranger, but Jiuge accidentally discovered its amazing effect.

She didn't know if it was just her imagination, but Jiuge felt like she was becoming more and more confident as she listened.

Whether studying, before going to sleep, resting, or even taking a nap, Jiuge will take out her phone to listen.

Thinking this way, she felt at ease.

Turning around, Jiuge walked out of the breakfast shop before Anchen.

An Chen was speechless.

Women are indeed strange; they can switch between joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness anytime, anywhere...

……

In the afternoon, Zhang Zhidong still arrived in a flurry of activity, accompanied by Mao Maotou.

"That's right! I think I saw what you were talking about before!" he exclaimed as soon as he entered the living room.

An Chen and Jiu Ge were staring blankly at the TV news channel.

Jiuge didn't react when she saw Zhang Zhidong.

When she saw the little boy behind him, her pupils dilated for a few seconds before she looked back at the TV screen.

"You mean the little black man?" An Chen glanced at Zhang Zhidong and asked lazily.

He had already heard the news from Jiu Ge, Su Zhi, and Li Zhi, so he wasn't surprised.

“That’s right! Yes!” Zhang Zhidong floated to the sofa, and Mao Maotou followed closely behind.

“That’s right! Yes!” Mao Maotou echoed in agreement.

No wonder he's practically Zhang Zhidong's godson; Mao Maotou seems to have been successfully assimilated.

As the little hairy head got closer and closer, Jiuge felt a little panicked, and the little color left on her face vanished in an instant.

Somewhat flustered, she moved closer to An Chen, pressing half of her body against him.

An Chen looked down and saw that Jiu Ge had also pulled up the hem of his short-sleeved shirt.

"?" He didn't say anything, but just looked at Jiu Ge with a puzzled expression.

"what?"

Jiuge paused for a moment, then suddenly realized that what she had done was somewhat inappropriate.

She quickly let go of his hand and turned her head to the other side.

"Not bad! Did I come at the wrong time?"

Although Zhang Zhidong was single for over twenty years before his death, he could still see the relationship between Jiu Ge and An Chen.

Young couples are probably all like this.

“It’s definitely not the right time.” An Chen glanced at him calmly and sighed.

It was around one or two in the afternoon, and it was still very hot.

When Zhang Zhidong arrived, the living room air conditioner was practically off.

The coldness emanating from Mao Mao's tiny body had absolutely no effect.

An Chen preferred Mao Maotou to come alone rather than Zhang Zhidong.

It can also scare Jiuge for some fun.

"That's right! So, does that mean Brother Anchen is getting married to Sister Jiuge soon?"

Mao Mao stared wide-eyed at An Chen with an innocent and naive expression, as if he had already forgotten the fact that college students would go to jail for getting married.

An Chen glanced at Mao Maotou expressionlessly, not really wanting to pay him any attention.

"Get married?"

Jiuge moved to the side again, directly to the edge of the sofa.

So An Chen already had plans to marry her?

Isn't this a bit too fast? We haven't even started dating yet...

He didn't tell his father or mother, nor did he inform his family...

How can you jump straight to marriage without even starting a relationship?

Zhang Zhidong and Mao Maotou were somewhat surprised to see Jiu Ge stuttering and panicking.

They always felt that Jiuge shouldn't have this art style.

Does this mean that women in love all undergo a dramatic change in personality?

"Calm down, the kid is just talking nonsense." An Chen neither reacted nor refuted, but simply patted Jiu Ge's shoulder to comfort her.

Jiuge's mind was in complete chaos, and she didn't hear what An Chen said.

Feeling the touch on her shoulder, she suddenly stood up.

Jiuge glanced at An Chen with some difficulty, then opened her mouth.

She crossed her arms, gave a cold snort, and turned to go back to her room.

With a "bang," the door slammed shut.

"..."

"..."

“Okay… let’s talk about that little black man again.” Zhang Zhidong’s expression was unusually a little embarrassed.

He had assumed the couple had reached this point long ago.

"Okay, go ahead," An Chen said, shrugging casually.

“I saw it on Dahua Street, ten kilometers away. It ran away as soon as it saw me.” Zhang Zhidong said with a serious expression.

He originally intended to help An Chen capture the little black man, but the moment the man saw him, he vanished on the spot with a look of terror on his face.

“Not bad! A very dark little black guy! Only his eyes and teeth are white!” Mao Mao exclaimed, revealing the same expression as Zhang Zhidong.

"I understand. Remember to let me know next time you see this."

An Chen chuckled softly, picked up the teacup on the coffee table, and took a sip.

"Alright! Then we'll take our leave!"
