My Childhood Sweetheart Is a Little Crybaby!-Chapter 117 The Woman He Can Never Have

"How about I carry it for you for a while?" Jiang Yuan offered.

"No need, I think I can hold on for a bit longer!" Yu Chengcheng declined. She estimated her own backpack had to be weighing several pounds; it didn’t seem right to let Jiang Yuan carry it for her.

She gritted her teeth, readying herself to push to the summit in one final effort, when her gaze fell ahead, "Huh, those girls don’t seem to be from our class, do they?"

Jiang Yuan followed her gaze and saw several girls surrounding Xu Jinyan, chattering away, making him look like the moon surrounded by a host of stars.

Tsk, this damn guy, attracting bees and butterflies again.

Thinking about how this guy had bad-mouthed him in front of the homeroom teacher, Jiang Yuan’s eyes twirled slyly, and then he purposely approached, calling out, "Yanyan!"

The call was sweet and gentle.

Yet Xu Jinyan couldn’t help but shudder, having an ominous hunch!

As expected, the next second he heard someone say, "Yanyan, I’m feeling weak in the knees, can’t walk anymore."

Xu Jinyan’s face darkened instantly. They were mountain climbing, for heaven’s sake. Moreover, with so many people around, she was the one looking the most relaxed. What’s getting weak?

He was carrying the stuff for two people, did he complain?

Besides, he wasn’t her brother; why should her weak knees be any concern of his?

Jiang Yuan winked at him, glanced deliberately at the girls beside him and said, "You know what I mean!"

After so many years of knowing each other, one look from this girl, and he could guess what mischief she was up to.

"Don’t even think about it." Xu Jinyan gritted his teeth, with an expression vowing never to concede.

"Oh? Are you sure about that?"

Jiang Yuan leaned in close, whispering only for the two of them to hear, "Everyone here thinks we’re dating. How about I take this moment to clarify our relationship in front of everyone, especially these pretty girls by your side?"

If looks could kill, Xu Jinyan believed this wretched girl would be dead as a doornail right now.

He gnashed his teeth, took a deep breath, passed his backpack to Zhang Xiaopang, and crouched in front of her with a scowl, "Get on."

The girl hooked the corner of her mouth, unceremoniously climbing onto his back, leaving the girls who had been around him frustrated and choking with anger. They glared at Jiang Yuan, "Don’t you have legs of your own? Why should someone else carry you?"

"That’s right, Jinyan is already tired from climbing the mountain. Even if you are his girlfriend, you can’t be so unreasonable!"

"Really acting like a three-year-old, can’t you show a little shame?"

"..."

As the girls went on with increasingly offensive taunts, Jiang Yuan was unfazed, but Xu Jinyan was the first to get annoyed. Frowning, he glared at the girls, "Can you all shut your mouths? If I’m happy to do it, what’s it to you? Who asked for your endlessly prattling opinions, flaunting how capable you think you are?

The princess cherished by everyone in her family, was it their place to come here and point fingers?

So capable, why don’t I see them fighting monsters? Here they are, acting like self-righteous heroes.

The girls who had just been scolding fervently now looked as if they were choked, their eyes bulging, their faces turning alternately green and white.

He can’t be scolding them, surely not.

But clearly, he was.

One girl couldn’t take it, speaking out in grievance, "We were clearly speaking up for you, how can you talk to us like this?"

Xu Jinyan rolled his eyes in exasperation, "Did I ask you to speak up for me? Did I beg you to defend me? Who do you think you are? What’s it to you? If you love speaking up for others so much, you might as well reincarnate as a rooster in the next life, solely responsible for crowing."
