nChapter 769: Chapter 769: A Plot That Doesn’t Go According to the Script

n“Jian, you really misunderstood, Zhang and I really aren’t…”

n“Alright, alright, I know you’re shy; it’s okay, I can understand. Besides, a relationship that’s just begun is indeed fragile—I get it. So, don’t worry! My lips are sealed!”

nJian Dan patted her chest and reassured Xiaoting.

n“Jian, you’re really overthinking it; it’s not what you think… It’s…”

n“Are the skewers ready?” said a male classmate’s voice.

n“Ready, ready!” Jian Dan got up, picked up the tray of skewered meat, and before leaving, she whispered to Xiaoting, “Don’t worry, don’t worry!”

nWatching Jian Dan’s figure retreating, Xiaoting felt like crying but had no tears.

nWasn’t it supposed to be her playing matchmaker for Jian?

nHow did their roles suddenly get reversed?

nWhy isn’t the plot following the script?

nJian Dan placed the skewers next to the barbecue grill on the table.

nThe aroma of the skewers stirred the cravings in Jian Dan’s ‘Five Viscera Temple’.

nJust as Jian Dan was gulping down her saliva, a plate of perfectly grilled skewers suddenly appeared in front of her.

nUncle!

nThe skewers looked incredibly appetizing; with this level of skill, one could easily open a barbecue restaurant, and the plate contained all of her favorite things.

nJian Dan smiled as she accepted the plate from Uncle, grabbed a skewer of grilled mushrooms, and said, “Mmm, super delicious!” Jian Dan gave Chu Liyuan a thumbs up.

nJian Dan had always acknowledged Uncle’s culinary skills, but this was her first time experiencing his barbecue.

nHow could Uncle be so talented, able to make anything and make it so delicious?

nWhere could you find an equally handsome, capable, gentle, and considerate husband like him?

nEven if someone offered her the whole world in exchange, she wouldn’t trade!

n“Looks good, I’ll try some too!” Wu Shanshan came up, trying to grab a skewer from Jian Dan’s plate.

nBut how could Jian Dan give her the opportunity?

nThese skewers were specially made for her by Uncle; they couldn’t possibly end up in someone else’s mouth!

nJian Dan twirled elegantly, easily dodging Wu Shanshan’s reaching hand.

n“Jian Dan, what do you mean by this? Is Teacher Zhu’s skewers only meant for you?” Wu Shanshan said angrily.

n“I indeed made them just for her!” Who else in this world besides Jian Jian and Grandma and Grandpa had the right to eat the food he personally made?

n“Teacher Zhu, you’re being too biased!” Wu Shanshan had not even opened her mouth when her sidekick beat her to it.

n“So what? You got a problem with that!” The cold glint in Chu Liyuan’s eyes made the girl who just spoke shiver with fear, not daring to say another word, as she shrank back.

nSeeing this scene, Wu Shanshan’s anger became even more uncontrollable.

nNot even bothering to disguise it anymore; such blatant favoritism, completely disregarding everyone else.

nAt this moment, all eyes were on them.

nMany classmates also began whispering about their relationship.

nAfter all, these actions were too obvious.

nThis isn’t a teacher-student relationship; it’s clearly a couple!

nXiaoting and Zhang Yang also saw this scene, and neither looked very happy.

nXiaoting pushed through the crowd and pulled Jian Dan away to the seaside.

n“Jian, do you even know what you’re doing?”

n“Of course I know!”

n“You know, yet you still act this way. Have you forgotten what you once promised me?”

n“I will not forget what I promised you, and I will definitely fulfill it!”

n“Then what were you just doing?”

n“That was meat Uncle specifically grilled for me; I don’t want others to eat it. Is there a problem with that?” Jian Dan no longer seemed to want to hide it from Xiaoting, and felt that this was a good opportunity to tell her.

n“Uncle? So you already have nicknames for each other now?” Xiaoting’s face turned very ugly in an instant.

n“I’ve always called him that!”

n“Always?? Heh~ Do you even know that he’s married?”

n“Of course I know, because I…”

n“Knowing that, you still cling to him? Do you have no shame?”

n“Shame? Why should I feel shame being with my husband?”

n“Heh~ still your husb… what did you just say he is to you?” Xiaoting suddenly turned to look at Jian Dan.

n“You didn’t hear wrong, he is my husband! He is indeed married, and the person he married, that’s me!”

n“Stop joking around, you’re just a high school student; how could you possibly be married to him? Don’t try to fool me!”

nXiaoting didn’t believe a word Jian Dan said….

n
