How to Tame a God and the Lucky Beasts-Chapter 184 - 185:

"Oh right, big brother! Let me introduce Brother An to you..."

Little Xu Wan excitedly turned around, but before she could finish her sentence, she realized that the little boy who had been behind her was gone.

"Where’s Brother An?"

Little Xu Wan broke free from her big brother Xu Xin’s embrace, looked around, but couldn’t find Little Ruan Jing’an.

"Big brother, where’s the little boy who was with me just now?"

"He left."

"Why? Why didn’t you call out to him?"

Little Xu Wan lost the new friend she had just made and was very upset, crying and fussing as her big brother carried her home.

Afterward, every time Xu Wan had a holiday, she would go to that noodle shop to have a bowl of beef noodles.

But for some reason, she never tasted that same delicious flavor from that day.

And she never saw that dirty Brother An from that day again.

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

Xu Wan looked at Ruan Jing’an in front of her, who seemed a bit nervous, and felt a bit happy inside.

The moment she heard his name, Xu Wan had already recognized him. Now this fair, tall, and clean Ruan Jing’an was the same Brother An who was skinny, small, and dirty back then.

But being the quirky girl she always was, she couldn’t easily let go of the grudge that Ruan Jing’an hadn’t come to find her all these years, could she?

Xu Wan deliberately stretched her voice, "This well..."

Ruan Jing’an felt as if a small hand had grabbed his heart, squeezing and kneading it, causing extreme torment.

"Ha ha~ Alright, then let’s go to the library together."

Ruan Jing’an sighed in relief, and his anxiety was quickly replaced by joy.

From that day on, the two attended classes together, went to the library together, and ate meals together.

The classmates around them also tacitly acknowledged their relationship, since they were both outstanding in appearance and grades.

So in the eyes of their teachers, they were also a very well-matched couple.

But Ruan Jing’an never made a clear declaration, which made Xu Wan a bit anxious.

Had Ruan Jing’an grown up to become a scumbag?!

Otherwise, why would he flirt with her but not define their relationship?

Finally, one ordinary afternoon, Xu Wan made an unusual decision.

She was going to personally ask Ruan Jing’an what he truly thought!

"Ding ling~"

Ruan Jing’an pushed open the door of the milk tea shop, walking towards Xu Wan who had been waiting there.

"Wanwan, what’s going on? Is there something you can’t say at school?"

Two cups of ordered lemon water were on the table. Xu Wan pushed one toward Ruan Jing’an on the other side.

"Jing’an, what are you thinking?"

Ruan Jing’an took a sip of water and asked, puzzled:

"Hmm? What am I thinking about?"

Seeing him like this, Xu Wan’s heart sank halfway.

It’s over, Ruan Jing’an really has turned into a scumbag...

Xu Wan decided not to be subtle and spoke bluntly:

"What do you think our relationship is now?"

Ruan Jing’an’s lightly tapping finger on the table paused.

Has it finally come to this point?

"Wanwan, I’m sorry, I..."

Before Ruan Jing’an could finish, Xu Wan, hearing his apology, felt the remaining half of her heart sink...

She suddenly stood up, leaving the words "Ruan Jing’an, you jerk!" before walking away without looking back.

From that day on, the two returned to being strangers.

Ruan Jing’an wanted to find Xu Wan to explain everything, but Xu Wan avoided seeing him, dodging him every day.

This left Ruan Jing’an feeling helpless.

Wanwan was still the same as she was in childhood, impulsive...

"Are you Ruan Jing’an?"

A strange male voice inquired.

Ruan Jing’an turned around to find a tall, muscular young man.

"I am Ruan Jing’an, and you are?"

"Bang."

Upon hearing him admit he was Ruan Jing’an, the man, without a word, punched Ruan Jing’an in the face.

"Ugh!"

Ruan Jing’an staggered from the blow.

At this moment, Xu Wan also ran over, not displaying her usual graceful elegance.

She shouted at the man who had just punched Ruan Jing’an,

"Second Brother! What are you doing?! Why did you hit Brother An?!"

The man clenched his fist, wanting to hit Ruan Jing’an again, but was stopped by Xu Wan.

Xu Wan’s second brother, Xu Sen, pointed at Ruan Jing’an and said:

"You punk, I’m telling you, if you dare to bully my sister again and make her sad, you’ll regret it."

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Sen was pushed away by his sister.

"You go home! I don’t want to argue with you!"

Xu Sen glared at Ruan Jing’an fiercely as he reluctantly walked away.

Finally, Ruan Jing’an had a chance to talk calmly with Xu Wan, even though the process wasn’t exactly pleasant.

Xu Wan glanced at Ruan Jing’an’s cheek, bruised by her second brother’s punch, "Are you okay?"

Ruan Jing’an pushed his tongue against his cheek, casually saying:

"I’m fine."

"Sorry, I didn’t know my second brother would come to the school and hurt you. Don’t worry, if you’re uncomfortable in any way, just let me know, I’ll make my second brother pay for medical expenses."

"Puhaha, Wanwan, I’m really okay."

"Hmm, that’s good."

Apart from initially worrying about Ruan Jing’an, Xu Wan, after a few glances, continued the rest of the conversation by looking at the lake, not giving Ruan Jing’an another look.

They walked to a long bench by the lake.

After half a month, Ruan Jing’an finally had a chance to explain things to Xu Wan.

Ruan Jing’an looked at the lake and softly said:

"Wanwan, you’ve really misunderstood."

Xu Wan said nothing, just continued to look at the lake.

Ruan Jing’an continued:

"We met a long time ago, do you remember?"

Xu Wan’s dainty and delicate ears slightly twitched, but she still did not answer.

Ruan Jing’an did not expect a reply, he just wanted to clear everything up, so he continued to tell his story.

"At that time, you were still young."

Xu Wan thought: You make it sound like you were much older.

"I had just finished helping my family in the fields and was about to eat when I saw you, who was lost."

Xu Wan: So Brother An looked dirty that day because he had been helping with farm work at home. Hardworking and sensible Brother An, even cuter!

"I used a week’s allowance to treat you to the best beef noodles in town."

Xu Wan: It was indeed delicious, but was it that expensive?

"You probably didn’t expect that just two bowls of beef noodles were a week’s allowance for me."

"When I saw your brother came to pick you up, I knew we were from two different worlds." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Your world is colorful, while mine, apart from learning, is all about the fields."

"I like you, Wanwan, but I’m afraid I don’t have the ability to let you continue that carefree life."

"I’m afraid one day, you might regret the choice you made today if we’re together."

"I’m afraid..."

"I am not afraid, and I will not regret it."

Xu Wan interrupted Ruan Jing’an, decisively saying.

"Wanwan, I understand what you mean, but what if..."

"There is no ’what if’, Ruan Jing’an, are you someone who thinks about ending something before even starting?"

"I..."

"I trust you, Brother An."

Upon hearing that familiar address, Ruan Jing’an was taken aback.

"You... you remember?!"

Xu Wan smiled slyly, "Of course, I also remember you wanted me as your little sidekick!"

The two exchanged a glance and the misunderstanding was cleared.

After that, teachers and classmates noticed the two had returned to being inseparable like before.

It seemed there was even more affection between them?!

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

In order to wrap up by the end of the month, the plot has become unbearable, darlings don’t waste your money.
