Reborn in the 80s: Everyone Falls For Me-Chapter 258 - 257: Have I Become Arrogant? (2nd Update)

He was particularly fond of her foxy side.

Jin Yu felt he was poisoned.

Poisoned by something called Xu Niannian, so no matter what Xu Niannian did, he found her to be bursting with beauty, enchanting to the extreme.

If any other woman dared to say she wanted to "do" a man, even if Jin Yu wouldn’t criticize, deep down, he wouldn’t approve.

Yet, when these words came from Xu Niannian, Jin Yu shamefully liked them a lot.

Unable to hold back, he pulled the little woman who was all smiles to the point of not being able to see her eyes, and Xu Niannian, laughing, pinched his face, "Do you want to hear it again?"

"What do you think?" Jin Yu continued with a hoarse voice, reaching new heights of raspiness.

As if someone was sawing in his throat with a rusty saw.

Xu Niannian playfully stuck out her tongue at him, "No, eat the noodles quickly, or they’ll go soft."

Jin Yu didn’t continue to be indecent, and talking about noodles reminded him of the conversation he just overheard between Huzi and Xu Niannian.

He knew Xu Niannian hadn’t eaten, otherwise, she wouldn’t have brought two portions with her.

Before she left, she didn’t know that Huzi would come to watch over him.

It could only be said that his girl was too kind-hearted.

Though Jin Yu was a bit jealous, deep down, he was proud of her kindness.

During these days, his hospital room had seen many visitors, many of whom were comrades from the military.

He could feel Xu Niannian’s respect and admiration for the soldiers.

Although this young lady was easy to talk to, she was not so selfless with strangers.

These men who protect their country and carry heavy burdens, to say they don’t want anything in return would be a lie. At the very least, they desire understanding and respect from the people.

Moreover, their identity was even more secretive and couldn’t be known by most people.

Many people thought they were just officials living off the government, only those close to them knew what they actually did.

So when he heard what Xu Niannian said to Huzi, even though it was a simple thing, it comforted his heart.

"Thank you, Niannian," Jin Yu said gently, holding her hand.

With Jin Gouzi suddenly getting emotional, Xu Niannian felt uncomfortable all over. Wasn’t he usually holding onto her, hugging and kissing?

What happened today?

Curious, Xu Niannian raised her hand to touch his forehead, "Do you have a fever?"

Rarely emotional, Jin Yu: "..."

This relationship might not continue after this, perhaps it was time to put a period here.

With a click of his tongue, Jin Yu, none too pleasantly, handed her the lunchbox on the small table, "Eat."

Jin Yu had only eaten a few bites and stopped, deliberately leaving it for her, knowing she definitely hadn’t eaten.

Because Jin Yu was injured, Xu Niannian only put in some secret recipe broth and a bit of salt, without adding the spicy butter sauce.

Xu Niannian was surprised, "Why did you eat so little? Don’t you like it?"

"Just eat if I tell you to, so many questions..."

Xu Niannian glared with her almond-shaped eyes, and Jin Yu left his reply unfinished, taking a detour, "It’s actually quite good, I just like it when you talk a lot, it’s cute."

This dog-like behavior left Xu Niannian astonished.

Xu Niannian didn’t stand on ceremony, she was indeed quite hungry, but she also knew that Jin Yu wasn’t unable to eat, he had intentionally left it for her.

Thus, Xu Niannian took a bite, then fed Jin Yu a bite.

Jin Yu initially seemed displeased, intentionally keeping a straight face, pretending to be serious, "We’re in a hospital, no lovey-dovey stuff."

Then Xu Niannian laughed, her eyes curving, and she pouted at him, asking, "Kiss?"

Jin Yu immediately leaned in, pretending to kiss her.

Xu Niannian quickly grabbed a chopstick-full of noodles and forcefully stuffed them into his mouth, chuckling, "What are you pretending for? Feeding you noodles is lovey-dovey, but when you’re kissing me, you never act so serious."

Not getting a kiss from the beauty, Jin Yu suddenly felt defeated.

But he was somewhat amused and helpless.

Wasn’t he just worried she wouldn’t eat enough?

And so, the two of them finished the food, taking turns feeding each other, bite by bite.

Lately, Xu Niannian had been too busy, eating less and less, leading her stomach to shrink; she was full after not eating much.

Most of the food ended up in Jin Yu’s stomach.

In the end, Jin Yu even drank the last of the broth from the lunchbox.

And outside the door, Huzi had long finished his butter noodles topped with butter sauce.

It was so delicious that Huzi almost wished he could swallow his own tongue.

Not only had he finished the soup base, but he had also licked the lunch box clean, not leaving a single spot.

Having heard that his sister-in-law had made the dish herself, Huzi immediately felt crestfallen and sat down on the floor, clutching his hair and sighing deeply.

If only he could find a wife as capable and beautiful, who could cook such delicious food.

At that thought, Huzi’s heart ached; just a few days ago, his mother had arranged a blind date for him back in his hometown.

He checked her out and was very satisfied.

Unfortunately, the girl was not interested, saying he was too dark and she didn’t want to be with someone black, for fear their children would also turn out to be little charcoal heads.

Without comparison, there is no harm.

After a hearty meal, Huzi thought of his own pathetic situation compared to his boss’s bright future and felt utterly disheartened.

After Huzi went back to his team, all the brothers, having heard that he’d met Jin Yu’s wife, pulled him over to ask all sorts of questions.

Huzi used every complimenting word he knew to describe Xu Niannian.

Thus, everyone came to know that Jin Yu’s partner was both beautiful and gentle, with excellent cooking skills.

Quite a few people from the team had seen Jin Yu and had also met Xu Niannian; some didn’t believe Huzi’s words and went to ask those who had seen Xu Niannian.

The unanimous answer they got was that Jin Yu’s partner was stunning beyond measure, with each description more exaggerated than the last.

This made those rough men who hadn’t seen Xu Niannian all the more envious, anticipative, and curious.

Xu Niannian had absolutely no idea that stories about her had spread like miracles within the organization.

Passed along by those endearing, strapping men, they said she was so incredible that if she sprouted wings, she could ascend and become an immortal.

On the other hand, Jin Ruiyang had been wandering around Nancheng County for several days in search of the breathtaking beauty he had seen at the hospital.

In the middle of his wandering, when Jin Ruiyang felt hungry, he bought two deep-fried dough sticks and a bowl of soy milk from a breakfast stall by the street and sat in the canopy like a quietly handsome man.

Many young girls in the canopy kept stealing glances at him.

The breakfast stall, which normally didn’t do much business, saw its patronage double just because of him, and the clientele were mostly female.

Xu Sisi was dragged to this breakfast stall by her dormmates.

The main reason was its affordability.

She arrived later than Jin Ruiyang and sat in a different canopy of the same stall, separated by a board in between.

A one-point-six-meter-high board that taller people could see over when they stood up.

Of course, neither Jin Ruiyang nor Xu Sisi noticed each other.

Xu Sisi was still brooding over the handsome man she had seen in the hospital. Despite her roommates nudging her several times, she didn’t react.

Then she suddenly said in a daydream-like tone, "Ah... what if I fell for a really, really handsome man, do you think he would like me back?"

Her roommate liked to tease Xu Sisi and said, "Sure, when you become fair-skinned, you’ll be a top beauty. Then you’ll have no shortage of men chasing you."

Although her roommate was joking, there was truth in her words,

Xu Sisi’s features were quite attractive; it was just a pity that her skin was a bit dark.

This was a lifelong sorrow for Xu Sisi.

Hearing her roommate’s teasing, she immediately rolled her eyes, "Then let’s forget about it, I will never become fair in this lifetime."

"Why not?" asked her roommate. "Don’t you want to become fair?"

Xu Sisi let out a wail, "Of course, I almost went mad thinking about it, but it’s destiny that I can’t become fair. I was born with this dark skin, and today the physics teacher even said that black absorbs heat. Just think, with my skin being so dark, wouldn’t it get darker as it absorbs more heat, and the more heat it absorbs, the darker it gets... Ahhh, it’s a vicious cycle, I’m beyond salvation."

"Pff..."

Jin Ruiyang, who was elegantly drinking his soy milk, could not hold back any longer and sprayed a mouthful of soy milk out, which landed on a girl’s face across from him.

Startled, Jin Ruiyang quickly handed over his handkerchief to help her wipe it off, apologizing profusely.

The girl said it was okay and blushed as she ran away.

Only after she was far away did she take out Jin Ruiyang’s handkerchief, whimpering with excitement.

Meanwhile, unable to control his laughter after hearing Xu Sisi’s lament, Jin Ruiyang’s chuckle caught Xu Sisi’s attention, making her look around warily, "Who’s laughing, who’s there?"

Because Xu Sisi’s wailing had been so loud, her roommate hadn’t heard the laugh and responded, "You’re hearing things. There was no one laughing."

Only then did Xu Sisi turn her gaze away.

Her roommate continued, "Hey Sisi, did you hear that our class’s beauty queen is the most likely student to get into Peking University? I’m so envious of her grades. But I think she’s too arrogant, not treating people nicely. But thinking about it, she’s got the ability to get into Peking University, so I guess she has the right to be arrogant."

Xu Sisi didn’t get along with the class beauty. All day long, the woman knew nothing but to coquettishly flirt with men. The worst part wasn’t just her flirting; she also enjoyed putting Xu Sisi down.

That’s why Xu Sisi disliked her intensely. Reacting to her roommate’s words, Xu Sisi retorted discontentedly, "Psh, what’s there to be proud of about getting into Peking University? Is it such a big deal? I’m someone who could never get into Peking University in my whole life; have I ever acted arrogantly about it?"
