The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man novel Chapter 618

Chapter 618: Chapter 614: Strange Hu Xiuqiao

Gu Jiaojiao glanced at the exam papers, then her gaze fell on Hu Xiuqiao’s cheeks, which were faintly flushed with anger. She found it a bit strange.

’I’m not close with Hu Xiuqiao, but I always help out when she’s too busy. I don’t think I’ve done anything to offend her, have I?’

Hu Xiuqiao also knew her reaction had been a bit odd. She gave an embarrassed smile and said in a helpless tone, "I just saw a mouse go by, so I instinctively jumped back. Did I scare you?"

’A mouse?’

Gu Jiaojiao whipped her head around. She despised creatures like mice; she always imagined their teeth could gnaw on human bones. The mere sight of one made her skin crawl.

"Where is the mouse?"

Although Hu Xiuqiao was also an educated youth sent to the countryside, she was no stranger to things like mice. She hadn’t expected Gu Jiaojiao’s huge reaction and thought she was being overly melodramatic. On the surface, however, she still spoke gently, "It probably ran off already."

’She’s this scared of a single mouse? Anyone who didn’t know better would think she was some pampered young lady from a rich family.’

’I have no idea what a man like Leng Yuan sees in someone so delicate.’

’She can’t do any heavy lifting or manual labor. She’s not the type to build a life with.’

In just a few short moments, Hu Xiuqiao had already found countless faults with Gu Jiaojiao.

Gu Jiaojiao ignored Hu Xiuqiao, still looking around for the mouse. Just then, the door was pushed open, and An Dongyang walked in, wearing an overcoat and looking very scholarly.

At first glance, he truly looked like a scholar. Humble, kind, refined, gentle—every adjective that came to mind painted the picture of a tender-hearted teacher.

He walked in, greeted Hu Xiuqiao, and when he saw that Gu Jiaojiao hadn’t looked over, he couldn’t help but ask, "What’s wrong, Teacher Gu?"

Hu Xiuqiao shot An Dongyang a meaningful look before saying, "There was a mouse just now. Teacher Gu is very afraid of mice. It’s a good thing you’re here, Mr. An. You can help Teacher Gu take a look."
