“Jiang Yu, there’s someone outside looking for you.”
After receiving a nudge from her classmate, Jiang Yu walked out of the door and saw a girl.
The girl had an oval face, curved eyebrows, and round almond-shaped eyes. She looked at Jiang Yu with a smile.
As the female protagonist of the book, Ji Churan naturally had beautiful features.
She handed over the box in her hand. “Jiang Yu, this is the peach cream puff I made. Please, try it.”
Jiang Yu took the box and said politely, “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome. If you like it, I can continue to make it for you.” Ji Churan’s smile deepened, revealing a pair of dimples at the corner of her mouth, making her look sweet.
Jiang Yu wasn’t very good at dealing with such kindness. She searched through her mind but thought that it would be a little strange if she complimented the other party’s appearance now. It wouldn’t suit the occasion.
So, she said, “The strawberry mousse from last time was very delicious.”
Ji Churan: “Ah! If you liked the strawberry mousse, I can make that too! I’ll make another one next time and bring it to you along with the puffs!”
Jiang Yu: … She was really enthusiastic.
She had never read the novel before, so her only impression of the female protagonist was the six words that the little sister of her group, who had read the novel, had constantly repeated to her, “Honest, kind, pretty, silly, fair, and sweet.”
The little sister had also said that most of the female protagonists of Gu Zaoba’s romance novels were like this. They had a sincere heart and thought that they were surrounded by good people, but they were always mistaken and would be let down by reality time and time again.
However, their honesty, kindness, and beauty would always help them turn a bad situation into a good one. With the help of a noble, they rose to the top and had a happy ending.
After all, evil could not triumph over good. She has seen many ugly bosses, and what they liked was a pure heart that was as clean as white jade.
Thinking about what happened to Ji Churan in the book, Jiang Yu couldn’t help but look at her sympathetically. “You don’t have to work so hard.”
“It’s not hard, it’s not hard at all.” Ji Churan waved her hands. “I’m very happy to cook for you, Jiang Yu!”
However, when Ji Churan met Jiang Yu’s eyes, she felt that Jiang Yu was looking at her with pity?
Jiang Yu pursed her lips.
Although she was a little lazy and didn’t want to cause any trouble, it wasn’t right for her to turn a blind eye when she saw the real “honest, kind, and beautiful” standing in front of her, especially when she was involved with her.
She said, “If anyone bullies you in the future, you can tell me.”
Ji Churan was blown away by Jiang Yu’s protective tone…
Her eyes lit up. “Jiang Yu, you’re the best! No one is bullying me though. You don’t have to worry too much.”
Jiang Yu wasn’t surprised by Ji Churan’s reply.
In the later scenes, Feng Junhao would often appear to uphold justice. As long as she kept her nose out of other people’s business and didn’t wander around, she shouldn’t be able to steal the spotlight from the male lead.
So, she only offered an olive branch to Ji Churan. Whether Ji Churan accepted it or not, whether she used it or not, was her business.
“But…”
Ji Churan fiddled with her fingers and wanted to say something but hesitated. She said nervously, “Can… can I be friends with you?”
Jiang Yu’s first thought was…
Who was the female lead’s friend in the book?
Did she steal someone elses’ scenes again?
After Ji Churan finished asking her question, she did not dare to look Jiang Yu in the eye.
“Um… I know my question is a little abrupt. It’s okay if you don’t agree…”
She did not even wait for Jiang Yu’s reply. Afraid that she would be disappointed, she hurriedly changed the topic and asked, “Then… can I have lunch with you?”
