“Was I pretty cool?” Lu An raised his eyebrows and smiled proudly.

“Handsome my as*! I’ll go back and tell Teacher Tan. Let’s see if she’ll beat you up.”

“You’re repaying kindness with ingratitude!”

“How is it? Who asked you to hit my arm earlier?”

Lu An looked helpless. “Didn’t I already apologize? Besides, I intended to hit the letter but not you.”

Of course, Jin Nian knew that Lu An would not bear to hit her. The two of them finally returned to their normal mode of getting along. They bickered, quarreled, and laughed.

It was quite late when they returned home after they went to the clinic to treat Lu An’s wound. Teacher Tan and Old Jin hadn’t eaten yet. They were waiting for Jin Nian to come back.

Before going to the police station to make a statement, Lu An had called Teacher Tan. He deliberately didn’t tell her about the hooligans Jin Nian had met. He only said that they had something to do and would be back soon, so Teacher Tan wasn’t worried.

When Jin Nian and Lu An returned home, the family sat down to have dinner together.

It had been some time since Lu An last came to Jin Nian’s house. Old Jin could tell at a glance that the child had lost weight. He kept putting food into his bowl. “Lu An, eat more meat. You’ve lost weight.”

“Thank you, Uncle. Your dishes are too delicious,” said Lu An with a smile.

He had never been polite at Jin Nian’s house. He ate and drank to his heart’s content. Of course, Jin Nian’s parents were always very enthusiastic, which made him feel like he was back at home.

Usually, Lu An would take a taxi back to his residence after dinner. This time, he didn’t stay long after dinner but left in a hurry since it was already late.

At ten o’clock in the evening, Jin Nian washed up and was about to go to bed when her window was suddenly smashed by an unknown hard object.

Their house was a small two-floor residential building. Jin Nian’s window was facing the door. She couldn’t think of anyone else who could smash her window in the middle of the night.

Jin Nian immediately pulled open the curtains and saw Lu An standing under the streetlights.

He had probably changed out of his school uniform when he got home. He wore a black sports jacket with the zipper pulled up to the top. He stood tall and straight with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He stood with his hands behind his back and looked up in Jin Nian’s direction.

Lu An was a person who would always do whatever he wanted. Sometimes, he would appear downstairs at night and call to ask her out for supper.

Children at this age always got the munchies. Jin Nian couldn’t resist the temptation, and she would go downstairs every time.

Jin Nian opened the window and looked at Lu An. He waved his hand at her, signaling her to come down. Jin Nian had no choice but to put on her coat and go downstairs. Every step she took was careful, afraid that she would make any noise and wake up the two parents who were already asleep.

As soon as she opened the door, Jin Nian almost bumped into Lu An. She took a step back and whispered, “It’s already late. What are you doing?”

Lu An reached out his hands from behind him and handed a box to Jin Nian. “This is for you.”

“What is it?”

“A cell phone.”

Jin Nian then remembered that her phone was smashed in the alley. She picked up the broken phone and said that she was going to take it to the phone shop for repair.

However, the phone had already been split into two, so it was most likely impossible to fix it. Lu An had dinner at Jin Nian’s house and left in a hurry just now because he wanted to buy a new phone before the phone shop closed.

Children of this age did not have much money. Most parents were stingy with their living expenses or pocket money. Jin Nian bought the phone with the money she earned from working during the winter and summer holidays. It was needless to say, her heart ached.

However, Lu An was different. He was not a person who lacked money at all. The young master usually spent money like water. Buying a cell phone was like a common meal for him.

In their era, many people were vain and even took out loans to buy the latest cell phone. The price of this cell phone could match the expenses of an ordinary family for two months.

Jin Nian didn’t follow the latest trends but only used the most ordinary flip phone. It had a pink shell and many shiny diamonds on it. It looked very girly.

Seeing the new phone that Lu An handed over, Jin Nian quickly refused. “I don’t want it. It’s too expensive.”

Usually, when Lu An sent her some snacks or hair clips, Jin Nian would never refuse. However, this latest model of mobile phone was too expensive. She was too embarrassed to accept it.

Lu An said domineeringly, “You don’t want to accept it, do you? Then it’s useless for me to keep it. I’ll smash it.”

As he spoke, he raised the box and was about to smash the phone in front of Jin Nian.

However, Lu An was just pretending. He was sure that a stingy person like her wouldn’t bear to let him smash it. As expected, Jin Nian grabbed Lu An’s wrist and hurriedly said, “I’ll accept it! But I… I want to return the money for the phone.”

Although she said that, Jin Nian had spent all her money on the previous phone. She had no money to return to Lu An..
