How to Tame a God and the Lucky Beasts-Chapter 183 - 184: (Part 3)

Ruan Jing’an and Xu Wan

"Wanwan, are you going to the library again? Why don’t we go shopping instead?"

Xu Wan, who was packing her school bag, turned around at the sound,

"No, the exam is tomorrow. Xuexue, you should come to the library with me too?"

The girl named Xuexue thought of her boyfriend’s instructions and bit her lip.

"Wanwan, just go with me. Besides, you’re so good at your studies, you always pay attention in class, you definitely won’t fail!"

Xu Wan was speechless, choked up.

Yes, she wouldn’t fail, but she wanted straight A’s...

"No, compared to shopping, I still want to read more."

After saying that, Xu Wan left the dormitory with her pink backpack.

The girl named Xuexue had a face full of reluctance.

She took out her phone and called her boyfriend.

As soon as the call connected, her boyfriend couldn’t wait to ask:

"Hey, darling, how did it go? Did you succeed?"

Xuexue "hmphed".

The man on the other end understood and instantly sounded less enthusiastic than before.

"Ah, so what’s up with this call?"

"I’m quite busy on this end, say what you need to quickly."

Xuexue’s eyes reddened, on the verge of tears:

"I knew it, you’re such a jerk, Wanwan is my friend, how could you make me do this!?"

The man sneered lightly, not holding back in exposing Xuexue’s thoughts:

"Tch, don’t think I don’t know you, why? Not enough money scamming off me?"

Originally pitiful, when Xuexue heard this, she dropped the act and showed an indifferent expression.

"I’m really out of options, she’s just a bookworm. No matter how I ask, she just won’t go, tch, so frustrating." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

==========================

Xu Wan walked through the afternoon campus, the gentle breeze swept across her cheeks, dispelling the summer heat.

"Hey, classmate!"

Were they calling me?

Probably not.

Xu Wan didn’t stop walking and continued leisurely strolling towards the library.

She wasn’t dumb; she could tell Zhang Xue had ulterior motives.

A girl from an average family who suddenly started flaunting brand-name dresses and bags out of nowhere.

Everyone in the dorm knew where all that came from.

A shout came from behind again:

"Classmate! The one in front! Wait a moment."

Xu Wan stopped and turned around to see who called her.

"Hmm? Were you calling me?"

It was a boy in black-framed glasses, with fair skin, wearing a white shirt.

The boy stood in front of Xu Wan and, after a moment, spoke up:

"Hey, classmate, I noticed you often go to the library. How about we go together from now on, okay?"

There was an unofficial rule at Huake University:

If you like a girl, take her to the library to study.

Xu Wan eyed the boy in front of her, her gaze somewhat profound...

Fair-skinned, and unexpectedly straightforward.

"What’s your name?"

"Ahem, my name is Ruan Jing’an."

Xu Wan nodded; the name sounded nice.

Ruan Jing’an also looked at the girl before him.

He had actually seen Xu Wan a long time ago; it’s just that she didn’t remember him.

The first time they met, they were both just kids.

Back then, little Xu Wan was already quite pretty.

That day, Xu Wan secretly ran away from home because her grandpa wouldn’t let her eat candy.

Good-looking people always attract attention.

Little Ruan Jing’an was no exception.

"Hey, why are you alone? Where are your parents?"

Little Ruan Jing’an asked earnestly.

Little Xu Wan

looked at the little boy in front of her, whose face and clothes were dirty.

She pursed her lips and said sadly:

"I’m lost."

Being able to say she was lost so calmly, without crying or fussing, this girl was quite impressive, someone who could work under me, thought little Ruan Jing’an to himself.

Little Xu Wan had no idea she had already become little Ruan Jing’an’s subordinate.

"Hey, my name is Ruan Jing’an. You can call me Big Brother. What’s your name?"

Little Xu Wan whispered: "My name is Xu Wan, Brother An."

Brother An?

Tch, okay then.

Little Ruan Jing’an didn’t care about what little Xu Wan called him; it was just a title, whatever.

"Come on, I’ll take you to eat something nice."

Little Xu Wan looked at the dirty boy and thought:

Take me to eat something nice?

Seeing that little Xu Wan obviously didn’t believe him, little Ruan Jing’an felt a bit embarrassed.

At such a young age, being concerned about face to this extent, no one else could compare.

"Hmph, don’t doubt me, follow me! I promise it’s something you’ve never had before!"

Little Ruan Jing’an spoke and led the way, and little Xu Wan followed along.

This boy was quite fun; she decided to tag along.

In front of the stall, little Xu Wan looked at the bowl of beef noodles in front of her, not knowing what to say.

Although the bowl of noodles looked really good, smelling delicious, they were just beef noodles; it’s not like she had never had them before.

Seeing her not touching the chopsticks, little Ruan Jing’an thought she was shy.

He handed her a pair of chopsticks and encouraged:

"Here, eat! It’s really good!"

After saying that, he started eating with large mouthfuls.

The noodles were a bit hot, and little Ruan Jing’an accidentally burned his tongue.

"Ow!"

Then he continued eating heartily.

Seeing him eating so deliciously, little Xu Wan realized her stomach was hungry too.

Besides, she hadn’t even had a sip of water since she left home.

Picking up the chopsticks, she took a small bundle of noodles, blew on it twice, and started eating.

As soon as the noodles entered her mouth, little Xu Wan’s eyes widened instantly.

Wow, it’s so good!

Neither of them spoke further; the only sound at the table was the slurping of noodles.

After a while, little Xu Wan put down her chopsticks and imitated little Ruan Jing’an by burping not so gracefully.

"Burp."

"How was it, good right?"

Little Ruan Jing’an propped his chin up with one hand, looking rather satisfied.

It was indeed good.

"Mhmm, Brother An was right, it’s delicious."

"Tch, good thing you believed me! Here, wipe your mouth, I’ll take you to a fun place later!"

With the beef noodles as a prelude, little Xu Wan was now very interested in the fun place Ruan Jing’an mentioned.

She took the napkin Ruan Jing’an handed her, and without minding whether it was clean, quickly wiped her mouth and urged:

"Hurry up, let’s go!"

The two kids had just left the beef noodle shop when little Xu Wan’s big brother Xu Xin came looking for her.

"Wanwan!"

"Big Brother!"

Xu Xin picked up little Xu Wan in one swift motion.

Heaven knows how worried their family got when their father said little Xu Wan had disappeared!

"Don’t run off again, Daddy, Mommy, and I were all so worried about you!"

Little Xu Wan, knowing she was in the wrong, nodded guiltily, "Big Brother, I was wrong."

When little Xu Wan recounted her day’s experiences, just as she was talking about how little Ruan Jing’an took her for a super delicious bowl of beef noodles,

she remembered the little Ruan Jing’an she had left behind.
