Chapter 9
Jiang Shuang: "..."
Ling Xiao Xiao suddenly asked her this, what did it mean? Jiang Shuang's IQ wasn’t high, and her EQ was even lower. At this time, she was shocked by Ling Xiao Xiao's powerful aura and took two steps back and silently replied, “We are all female, ah…”
On the opposite side, the cool roommate raised her eyebrows and her long and thin eyebrows were raised in an unpleasant arc, “The novel you wrote was about two women too.”
"... Fiction is fiction, reality is reality." Jiang Shuang didn’t know what wind she was smoking, but Ling Xiao Xiao's expression was really scary.
To be honest, she looked like Jiang Shuang's mother when she was angry.
Thinking of the woman who worked hard for her schooling, Jiang Shuang immediately lost her mind. Her mother can use all kinds of reasons to be unhappy to beat her up, for example, the garlic broke, and she would pull on Jiang Shuang’s ear and scold her for half an hour.
Now Ling Xiao Xiao exuded a similar unfriendly aura and Jiang Shuang’s brain blanked. She crouched on the ground unconsciously and pitifully.
Ling Xiao Xiao felt she didn't say anything, but the little girl suddenly crouched on the ground with a frightened expression, which made her a little afraid. Was Jiang Shuang angry with her?
Although her expression didn’t look angry, it was frightening to look at and made her nervous.
Ling Xiao Xiao took back all the points she pulled out, and squatted down to ask, “What’s the matter with you? You…don’t be angry, ah.”
Jiang Shuang heard Ling Xiao Xiao's voice, then returned to her senses and looked up at her. Her eyes were red, like a wronged rabbit.
... Ling Xiao Xiao felt guilty, ah.
She continued embarrassedly: “I’m just asking you. You don't need to take it to heart…”
After saying that, she felt a little frustrated for a while. She just co-author with Jiang Shuang to write lily and she even dubbed in a lily radio drama, but she didn’t bend at all…
Jiang Shuang shook her head. "I just thought of some bad things. When I was a child, my mother had the same expression as you did, and would directly greet me with a broom..."
Ling Xiao Xiao: "..." She pretended to be cool, okay! It wasn’t supposed to be fierce, okay!
But the roar in her heart didn't come out. After supporting Jiang Shuang to stand up, she smoothed the wrinkles on her clothes. “Then you’ve been beaten since you were a child?”
Jiang Shuang couldn't figure out the mentality she just had. She was caught off guard by the series of events that just occurred. Suddenly, she calmed down and really wanted to talk to others.
She used to think this kind of talk was too hypocritical. She didn’t want to say it, but the situation was right. She smoothly talked about those things from when she was little until now.
After her mother gave birth to her, a few years later, her father died in an accident. The house was owned by her grandparents. It was fine while her grandparents were alive and they both had a place to live. But when her grandparents died, her normally good aunt completely changed. She was like a rooster all day long, then drove them out and took the house.
(T/N: please note that the aunt they use here is “shen zi” which is the father's younger brother’s wife…so they aren’t really blood-related, but the aunt married into the family and managed to take THEIR home.)
Since then, Jiang Shuang and her single parent mother have lived a difficult life. Later, the situation got better, and she was able to attend school, but they were still hard-pressed for money.
Her mother resented that family in her heart. No matter what happens, she will take it out on her. Jiang Shuang liked this aunt very much when she was a child. Unexpectedly, her aunt changed in a blink of an eye. After that, because of problems such as dress code and personality, the students in primary school didn’t like her. When she grew up and attended junior high school and senior high school, she couldn’t accept the kindness of others regardless of their beauty and their desire to be closer to her.
If it wasn’t for para who persuaded her a few times, she might still avoid Ling Xiao Xiao—it was estimated that Sheng Haoting knew this matter and was angry and she was the one who personally sent Jiang Shuang out.
(T/N: para helped her moved out from her abusive mother somehow so she could live alone and attend college…rip, basically para helped her rival out and let them meet each other…poor para..cannon fodder)
Now Jiang Shuang has enough money for school and to eat, but after renting this house, she didn’t have enough for meals. If she didn’t want to reach out to her mother, she would have to make her own money.
Now that she can support herself and knew Ling Xiao Xiao was the one who set her up, she was really touched.
Before she knew it, she said a lot, then stopped when she said she spent money on Weibuyun to throw mines.
God, what was she talking about?!!
Suddenly, Jiang Shuang realized she said many things that she shouldn’t have and was immediately silent. She was about to pretend to be dead, but the people near her leaned closer.
She panicked and looked up at the person and her body jolted from the low female voice that rang in her ear, “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
Jiang Shuang roasted herself in her heart: I’m not familiar with you, how could I say? The next second, she realized she had already placed Ling Xiao Xiao in her range of acquaintances?
Or not ... Or, she placed Ling Xiao Xiao in a more special position ... En, for example, a goddess whose thigh she held?
It was estimated that if Ling Xiao Xiao knew what she was thinking of, she would laugh angrily. But she didn’t know, she could only think that Jiang Shuang was very poor the previous years. She has made great efforts to survive alone until now. Even when she was very hard-pressed, instead of saving money for food, she would throw mines for her.
Thinking of the diving bomb that held special meaning, Ling Xiao Xiao felt she wasn’t as happy as she was at the time. Now, she just felt distressed.
However, this also indirectly showed that Jiang Shuang quite likes her, right?
The shameless pseudo-goddess hugged the frozen body in her arms a little more. The soft body was pressed against her body and she wanted to smile comfortably and hug it a little more.
The person in her embrace stiffened her arms that hung in the air, she didn’t know where to place them.
Ling Xiao Xiao was satisfied and gently released Jiang Shuang. Jiang Shuang wanted to let out a sigh of relief, but a pair of warm hands held her face.
"You have cast so many mines for me. No matter what I give you in the future, you aren’t allowed to refuse, okay?"
Jiang Shuang was hoodwinked and asked: "What are you giving me?"
Ling Xiao Xiao's brain short-circuited: “Myself.”
Jiang Shuang, whose face was squeezed into a lump, was horrified: “….do I have to?”
