High School Belle Fell in Love with Me-Chapter 65: The Power of Grown-Ups Is Just Too Great
Xue Ning can’t afford expensive liquor, so a bottle that costs over twenty yuan already feels like a luxury to her.
She quickly went to the school gate to buy some food and drinks.
Li Yang also wanted to drink a little, but Xue Ning stopped him: "You’re a student, what are you doing drinking alcohol! Just eat the food, I specially bought you a thousand-layer pancake, and you can eat the dishes too."
She didn’t need any food to accompany her drinking, especially with Li Yang around, she used him as her drinking buddy.
In front of Li Yang, she didn’t hold back, she poured herself a glass first, then happily drank it, showing a satisfied expression as if she had drunk some celestial nectar.
With her squinting eyes, she really looked like a little kitten.
Soon, a bottle of liquor was empty, and Xue Ning’s cheeks were flushed, occasionally glancing at Li Yang with watery eyes.
Li Yang was engrossed in eating, until Xue Ning finished the last glass of the first bottle, and leaned towards Li Yang...
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Xue Ning asked in confusion, "Who would come at this time?"
Li Yang got up and said, "Oh, it should be Jiang Banxia, I’ll go open the door for her."
Xue Ning: "..."
Li Yang had already reached the door, after all, the apartment was small and it only took a few steps to change the scene.
Li Yang opened the door to find Jiang Banxia standing there with a smile, today she was wearing a plain long dress that covered her long legs.
"Is Ning here?"
Yes, she is.
Li Yang opened the door to let Jiang Banxia in.
When he turned back to look inside, he realized that Xue Ning had already collapsed on the sofa, and the other two bottles of liquor that were on the desk earlier were nowhere to be seen.
The apartment was filled with the lingering smell of alcohol.
After Jiang Banxia came in, she whispered, "Ning has been drinking again?"
Li Yang: "Yeah, she said she suddenly felt like drinking, and I think her drinking tolerance isn’t great, so she asked you to come help out. But just a moment ago she was fine, how did she fall asleep so suddenly?"
Their conversation was heard by Xue Ning completely.
But she could only pretend to be asleep.
Maybe she was indeed a bit impulsive. After all, since the last time at the bar, she had been ready to take the first step.
Her current life was dull and monotonous, you could literally see its end with a glance.
Having godparents was certainly joyful, but she was inherently a very lazy person.
Too lazy to learn anything new, just wanting to live the easiest life.
A few days ago, Dou Ying talked to her about the account’s matters, she didn’t quite understand, but she knew they made money, quite a bit.
She felt much more at ease.
Li Yang’s promise made her feel more and more at ease.
She was naturally drawn to comfort zones, the last one she encountered wasn’t nearly as stable as what Li Yang offered, and she wanted to put down roots here.
It turned out that Li Yang, this clever little rascal, figured it out, how is he so smart...
Hearing Jiang Banxia say she wanted to help her to the bed for rest, she even slightly adjusted her feet, in case Jiang Banxia couldn’t manage to move her.
...
Jiang Banxia closed the bedroom door, came over to the sofa, and carefully asked, "Is there any more liquor? I’ve never tried it, let me have a taste?"
Li Yang immediately replied sternly, "Minors are prohibited from drinking, it’s illegal for me to give you liquor, you know that? If you want to get someone in trouble, ask someone else to get you liquor."
Jiang Banxia instantly corrected herself, saying, "Yes, Master Li is right, I am a law-abiding good citizen!"
"That’s right, come on, come on, I just brought the textbooks over, let’s check your study progress today."
"Huh? How do we check?"
"The best way, of course, is for you to explain it to me. If you can explain it thoroughly, it proves you’ve learned it. But I’ll give you a challenge, I’ll randomly say I don’t understand, which tests your mastery of the knowledge points... let’s see how much you’ve actually understood..."
"But why do I feel like you’re preparing for a retake?"
"Pfft! What’s that you’re saying, a retake? Impossible in this lifetime! I’m worried that when you get to Qingbei, you won’t be able to keep up with the courses there..."
"Oh oh oh, right, right..."
For Jiang Banxia, whatever Li Yang chose, whether it be retaking or something else, she could accept it.
As long as he doesn’t drop out.
She believed that Li Yang’s score wouldn’t be too low, not daring to claim six hundred, but at least five hundred eighty.
Is it possible that this guy is unsatisfied? Wants to work hard and retake the exam next year for Qingbei?
Ho ho ho...
Happy!
The soundproofing wasn’t good, Xue Ning listened to them discussing various topics, getting sleepier and sleepier even though she wasn’t tired.
It felt like being back in high school, a time when she often felt sleepy.
...
After six o’clock, Li Yang and Jiang Banxia went out.
They strolled around the snack street in the small town and bought some snacks.
Jiang Banxia’s mouth was stained with seasoning powder, and Li Yang felt a bit wasteful, wondering which lucky person these snacks would benefit in the future.
"Master Li, have you decided to be my support? Since last night until noon today, I haven’t spoken a word to my family, I’m not very resolute..."
Jiang Banxia’s voice came from the side, and Li Yang replied, "Actually, I’m still quite weak myself, how can I be someone else’s support?"
"Hmm... as long as you can take me in when I have an argument with my family. If I were to end up on the streets, tired and starving, I wouldn’t have the courage to fight with them."
"But I also don’t have a house, haven’t you noticed all my stuff is at Xue’s place?"
Jiang Banxia thought about it, and now really wasn’t the time to confront her family.
Thinking of studying domestically in the future, and still needing living expenses from her family, it seemed she couldn’t act all tough.
A younger brother would join the family soon; she had planned not to speak nicely with the other party, but now it seemed... she needed to be a bit warmer, after all, the family’s finances were controlled by Dou Ying.
Li Yang saw Jiang Banxia seemed a bit disappointed, so he continued, "You can wait until I earn some money, once I have enough, I’ll buy a house, but while I’m earning money, if you fall out with your family, we’ll both end up on the streets."
"Huh? Isn’t it just me?"
"I’ve discussed with Xue, I’ll go to her place for naps during the day, and if you fall out with your parents, they surely won’t let me have it easy, so..."
Jiang Banxia’s spur-of-the-moment rebelliousness needed more interaction with her family; others saying more did not help much.
In terms of family relationships, many sincere attempts end up doing harm, not to mention misunderstandings.
In his previous life, at that age, he was even more rebellious than Jiang Banxia, along with his completely neglectful parents, which let him act as he pleased.
He wasn’t going to fan the flames or lead Jiang Banxia astray, that was the only thing he could do for now.
Jiang Banxia heard this and looked even more disappointed.
With a sigh, "The power of adults is really too great, it feels like we can’t fight against them at all."
