Chapter 9: Jiaojiao Honey

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Qi Shenbai noticed Xu Jiaojiao’s panic and swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue. “The noodles are delicious, thank you.”

Since Xu Jiaojiao did not want to talk about it, he did not ask anymore. This little girl was too timid. Although he did not know how she found out about Qi Yunduo, the most important thing now was that Yunduo had woken up, so everything else did not really matter.

Xu Jiaojiao’s anxious heart instantly calmed down. She smiled and replied brightly, “You’re welcome, Mr. Qi.” After all, she was using his kitchen, and the noodles and chicken soup were his too!

The next day, Xu Jiaojiao went to class for the entire day. As soon as she walked out of the classroom, she was warmly embraced by someone. “Jiaojiao Honey! I missed you so much!”

Xu Jiaojiao was shocked at first, but when she saw the person hugging her, her shock instantly turned into pleasant surprise. “Luoluo! When did you come back?”

Some time ago, Su Luo had accompanied her mother overseas to watch a show. Xu Jiaojiao had not expected her to suddenly come back.

“When I received the news that you didn’t get married to Lu Zhuo, I rushed back to celebrate your narrow escape from a lifetime of misery!” Su Luo excitedly pinched Xu Jiaojiao’s little face.

This was the first time Xu Jiaojiao heard Lu Zhuo’s name after they failed to get married. Her initial excitement faded a little, and Su Luo put her arm around her shoulders.

“Alright, alright. Let’s not think about that scumbag anymore. There are so many men in this world. If this doesn’t work out, we’ll change to another one. Our Jiaojiao is beautiful and kind-hearted, so you’ll sure to get plenty of admirers.” Su Luo had never liked Lu Zhuo from the very beginning, so even though she knew that it was Xu Jiaojiao’s wedding day, she still accompanied her mother overseas to watch the show. She did not want to see Xu Jiaojiao marry that hypocrite Lu Zhuo!

Xu Jiaojiao smiled. “Yes, I know.”

Su Luo shook her head. She knew about Xu Jiaojiao’s feelings for Lu Zhuo, so there was no way her friend would be unaffected. Still, feelings were a fickle thing… Su Luo rolled her eyes and suddenly said, “Jiaojiao, let’s go to the bar and have some fun”

“Huh?” Xu Jiaojiao was taken aback and hesitated. “I don’t know…”

She had never been to a bar because her brother, Xu Zhengyang, did not allow her to go. He even threatened her that if she went, he would show her just how brilliant he was at painting.

“Why not? We’re already adults, okay?!” Su Luo was distressed. “You’re a perfectly normal female university student, but you almost got married before you even dated anyone. You don’t usually go to bars or play games. All you ever do is draw every day. Sooner or later, you’ll be reduced to a stick painting!”

“No, I won’t,” Xu Jiaojiao retorted. Unfortunately, her retort was ineffective. Su Luo directly pulled her away.

“Alright, it’s decided. Let’s go eat first, then we’ll go for a spa, then shop for clothes, and finally go to a bar. I heard that a new bar has opened recently. There are a lot of handsome men inside…”

The sky was dark, and the city was bustling with noise at night. Xu Jiaojiao followed Su Luo into the bar. Because the bar had just opened, there were many customers. Su Luo was a regular at the bar, so she pulled Xu Jiaojiao through the crowd and went to the bar counter to ask the bartender for two cocktails.

When Xu Jiaojiao heard this, she hurriedly said, “I want lemonade.”

Su Luo could not help but roll her eyes. “Please, who comes to a bar to drink lemonade?”

Xu Jiaojiao began, “If my brother finds out that you brought me to the bar and made me drink…” Before she could finish her sentence, Su Luo raised her hands in surrender.

“Alright, alright, alright. It’s my fault. Have some lemonade.”

Xu Jiaojiao smiled and took a sip of the lemonade from the bartender.

Su Luo was still grumbling, “Xu Zhengyang has such a sister complex! He’s too strict with you!”

The bar was too noisy, so Xu Jiaojiao did not hear what Su Luo said clearly. Just as she was about to ask, Su Luo grabbed her and said, “Let’s go and dance.”

“Huh?” Xu Jiaojiao’s fair and tender face was filled with confusion. “I don’t know how to dance…”

Unfortunately, Su Luo did not care about what she said and pulled her straight onto the dance floor. She swayed her slender waist along with the music and shouted at Xu Jiaojiao, “It’s not difficult. Just keep swaying around. You can twist as much as you want!”

Xu Jiaojiao stood in the middle of the crowd and watched as the people around her started to dance. Everyone’s dance moves were different, but the same thing was the happy expression on their faces. Perhaps the music in the bar was too intense, or perhaps she was influenced by the people around her… Either way, Xu Jiaojiao slowly let go of herself and started to dance.

The smile on her face grew bigger and bigger… The song became more and more exciting, and the atmosphere in the bar became more and more intense. Just then, the door of the bar was suddenly pushed open, and the headlights above her head were turned on.

“Police check! A passerby has reported that there are minors here…”
