My Childhood Sweetheart Is a Little Crybaby!-Chapter 219: Truly Worthy of the One She Likes

What the old lady ultimately discussed with Xu Jiayan that day, only the two of them knew. Afterwards, when Jiang Yuan pressed for answers, Xu Jiayan merely said that the old lady had told him to take good care of her.

Jiang Yuan didn’t understand; if it was just that, why didn’t Grandma let her stay and instead have a private conversation with Brother Yan?

However, the old lady’s health gradually improved, and two days later she was able to get out of bed. As soon as she could, she hurried Jiang Yuan and the others back home.

Jiang Yuan was worried about leaving the elderly woman alone and wanted to stay and live with Grandma, but Grandma refused her. Initially, she was afraid that she would not be able to take good care of this child and had entrusted her to the Xu Family, and now she naturally wouldn’t want to be a burden to her. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

In the end, Grandma promised to call her frequently, and Lin Wan also agreed to take her back to visit the old lady often. Thus, Jiang Yuan reluctantly said her farewells to Grandma.

Back in West City, life began to proceed in an orderly fashion. Because of grandpa’s incident, this year’s festivities were not very joyous for everyone, but, fortunately, the start of a new school term soon arrived.

Jiang Yuan and Xu Jinyan both joined the ranks of students cramming to complete homework, temporarily putting those unpleasant feelings aside.

Madly catching up on homework the three days before school started had almost become an annual end-of-vacation ritual for this family.

Even Jiang Yuan, who was reputed as an academic overachiever, couldn’t escape the fate of catching up on homework.

On the last day of the holiday, Young Master Xu, having calculated his homework load, reached out to Jiang Yuan for help, "Jiang Xiaoyuan, quick, let me see your homework." To be accurate, he meant copy it.

Jiang Yuan: "Oh, I’m in the middle of making it up!"

"That’s not it, is it acceptable for a top student like you to be cramming homework just before school starts?" Xu Jinyan glared at her. He didn’t know how this girl managed to come first every time without seeming to ever study or do her homework.

It was truly frustrating to compare oneself with others.

Jiang Yuan glanced at him and said, "Can’t a top student like me also not want to do homework?" What’s so strange about that? Not wanting to do homework is surely every child’s nature, isn’t it? She refused to believe that there were people in the world who actually liked doing homework.

"How can you say there aren’t any? Look at my brother, isn’t he one?"

His brother simply wasn’t human; in addition to completing the necessary homework assigned by the teachers every day, he would also assign himself a pile of extra homework. He’d never seen anyone more self-disciplined than his brother.

"Brother Yan is truly outstanding!" Jiang Yuan expressed with a look of pride.

He was the person she liked, after all.

Xu Jinyan inadvertently got shown up and couldn’t help but glare at her in disdain, "Jiang Xiaoyuan, what’s with that triumphant look on your face?" Even if he is my brother, my own brother, I haven’t even bragged about it yet, so what are you so pleased about?

Jiang Yuan glared back at him, "I’m happy, what’s it to you?"

"Forget it, I don’t have time to deal with you, better think about what to do instead?" School starts tomorrow, and he hadn’t even started on a single word of his homework. He had originally thought that he could just copy Jiang Xiaoyuan’s work and cram everything in one night.

But what did she say? She hadn’t done hers either!!!

Jiang Yuan: "What’s the rush, I have a plan." Saying that, she immediately took her pile of homework into Xu Jiayan’s room.

As soon as Xu Jiayan saw the exercise books in her hands, he had an understanding expression, "Haven’t finished again?"

Jiang Yuan blinked at him and put on an innocent face, cleverly defending herself, "It’s not that I don’t want to do it, it’s just that Grandpa just passed away, and I’m too heartbroken to focus on homework."

That’s right, she had a legitimate excuse.
