236 Xiao Xiao’s Gratitude

Huang Jue had always been very sensible and his personality was more mature and steady. Gu Man could not imagine him jumping around on stage.

“You’re looking down on junior high school students these days. With a phone in hand, what wouldn’t they know? Many people just watched the trainee variety show online and had the idea of becoming idols. Although your cousin is young now, he can still be nurtured after school. You have to strike first to gain the upper hand in such a matter! Quick, quick, quick. Introduce him to me first, lest others snatch him away!” Xiao Xiao became more and more excited. In the end, she even grabbed Gu Man’s arm.

Gu Man stopped packing. She had not noticed this problem previously. Ever since the Huang Family returned to the countryside, they had been thrifty. The only way she could contact her family at home was by the landline.

It was fine when Huang Jue was studying in the countryside previously. If he came to Han City First High School without a phone, he would inevitably be looked down upon. It seemed like she could take the time to bring him to buy a phone and buy one for her grandmother and uncle.

After making up her mind, Gu Man lay on the table and started to sleep. Her body was severely damaged and needed to be nourished.

Xiao Xiao’s excited words stopped the moment she saw Gu Man lying on the table. She lowered her voice and warned Lu You, who was still chatting and laughing behind her, “Manman is asleep. Lower your voice.”

Lu You scratched his head and sighed. “Sister Man looks so tired. Could it be because of the ghost market?”

Jiang Yi supported her chin and looked in Gu Man’s direction. Then, she slapped Lu You’s head. “Since you know, keep your voice down. Don’t disturb her rest.”

Lu You covered his head and sat back down obediently. A world where only he was injured was achieved.

The morning passed quickly. When Gu Man opened her eyes, it was already lunchtime. She stretched and leaned back in her chair. Only then did she realize that she and the other three were the only ones left in the classroom.

“Manman, I feel like you look much better after sleeping. As expected, sleeping has a beauty effect.”

Xiao Xiao held her chin and handed her a sandwich with a smile. “I thought you were going to sleep a little longer. I didn’t expect you to wake up so quickly. Thank you for what happened in the ghost market.”

“Thank you.” Gu Man took the sandwich. It was still warm. “I brought you to the ghost market, so I naturally have to take responsibility.”

“Although the trip to the ghost market was very dangerous, thinking about it now, it was quite exciting,” Xiao Xiao said.

“Don’t mention it. You were the burden when you went.”

Xiao Xiao slammed the table and glared at Lu You.

“What do you mean? You’ll end up like me if you go. Won’t you still have to rely on Manman to save you?” Xiao Xiao said indignantly.

Seeing that the war between the two of them was about to break out, Jiang Yi knocked on the table with her pen. “Alright, Gu Man is a patient now. Don’t be so shocked.”

Xiao Xiao covered her mouth belatedly and did not forget to glare at Lu You.

She sat back down and tugged at Gu Man’s sleeve. “Manman, I didn’t expect the ghost market to be so dangerous.”

Gu Man gulped down a mouthful of water and swallowed the dry sandwich. “I still have to go to the ghost market tonight. Are you guys going?”

Xiao Xiao and Jiang Yi’s expressions were different, but they both tacitly expressed one thing: rejection.

“Gu Man, you’re in a hurry to go to the ghost market before you recover. If you encounter something like the last time…”

Jiang Yi realized that she sounded a little anxious. She swallowed her saliva and swallowed the rest of her words. She sighed deeply. “The ghost market is not simple.”

“Remember the ceramic I got from the stall last time?”

Jiang Yi listened to Gu Man’s words and thought for a long time before he remembered that he had been thinking about other things that night and had forgotten about this.

“You haven’t thrown that thing away yet. You can go look for Du Fei and ask for a refund from him. How much can that lousy bowl be worth? He only knows how to scam a little girl like you who doesn’t know anything.”

The more he spoke, the more agitated he became. Jiang Yi was so angry that his saliva flew everywhere, making Xiao Xiao and Lu You curious.

“Brother Yi, you even went to the ghost market with Sister Man behind our backs. It’s fine if you didn’t bring me last time, but you didn’t bring me last last time as well. You’re too much!”
