Chapter 18 Su Jiang's feelings towards An Rou

"It's too distant to call me Master An. If you don't mind, just call me Brother An."

An Mingjie said as he took him to sit on the sofa, and An Rou followed and sat next to Su Jiang.

"Okay, then I won't be polite, Brother An."

An Mingjie smiled and nodded: "Tea or coffee?"

"Tea."

"Okay, Lao Xu, can you help me and Su Jiang make two cups of tea, and make Rou Rou a latte with sugar."

Apparently An Mingjie knew what An Rou liked to drink.

Lao Xu was the subordinate who was reporting just now. Hearing what An Mingjie said, he nodded and turned to prepare.

"Don't be nervous. I asked you to come this time because Rou Rou often mentioned you, so I wanted to see you."

Su Jiang raised his eyebrows and turned his head to look at An Rou. Often mentioned me?

"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about?" An Rou was also confused. How could she often mention Su Jiang?

An Mingjie immediately glared at her. An Rou opened her mouth and wanted to refute her, but when she saw An Mingjie's eyes, she became timid again.

From childhood to adulthood, only An Mingjie could control her.

Then, An Mingjie and Su Jiang started chatting again.

"I heard that you rent a house outside and your family is not in Jiangdu?"

"Well, my parents are in my hometown, and the dormitory environment of Jiangdu University is quite poor, so I just live outside."

"Well, it's good. You have excellent grades. I would like to ask you to help An Rou with her studies."

"Brother An, you are kidding. An Rou doesn't need my help with her grades."

The two chatted about family matters, talking about this and that, and An Rou was a little tired of listening.

At this time, Lao Xu also brought three cups, put tea and coffee on the table, and then left.

An Mingjie smiled: "Su Jiang, I heard that you like playing chess. There is a chessboard in my study. Let's play a few games?"

An Rou had a question mark in her head. Does Su Jiang like playing chess?

Su Jiang understood what An Mingjie meant, nodded in agreement, and got up to follow An Mingjie to the study.

An Rou took a sip of coffee. Seeing that the two were about to enter the study, she hurriedly got up and wanted to follow them in. However, as soon as her left foot stepped in, An Mingjie spoke.

"What are you doing here? Go sit on the sofa and drink coffee. I will play two games of chess with Su Jiang."

An Mingjie waved his hand to drive An Rou out of the room and then closed the door.

"No...Brother!" An Rou widened her eyes and was ruthlessly blocked outside the door.

She wanted to knock on the door to let An Mingjie let her in, but she was scared as soon as she raised her hand.

An Rou stomped her feet helplessly, turned around and ran back to the sofa, sipping coffee and cursing An Mingjie in a low voice.

In the study, Su Jiang and An Mingjie sat opposite each other around a chessboard, but there were no chess pieces on the board yet.

An Mingjie was the first to place a black piece, and at the same time said, "Some things are hard to talk about in front of Rourou."

Su Jiang followed closely and steadily placed a white piece. He nodded to show his understanding: "I understand."

The two kept placing pieces. Su Jiang's chess skills were not bad, and he played closely with An Mingjie. Between the rise and fall of the pieces, the two began to get down to business.

"Li Cai told me about what happened in the bar yesterday. With Lin Hui's personality, he will definitely take revenge on you."

"I also said that if he wants to take revenge, I will let him see his brain."

"Let's not talk about whether you have the ability or not. I'm curious about where you got all these skills, fighting skills, and familiarity with guns?"

"I told Li Cai that I learned it online."

"It's okay if you don't want to say it. It's not important. I just want to ask you a question."

"What?"

"Do you really like Rourou?"

As soon as these words came out, Su Jiang paused his fingers and looked at An Mingjie with some surprise.

An Mingjie also met Su Jiang's eyes and continued: "Rourou is very special to you. Everyone in our An family can see it. Maybe this girl doesn't know it herself, but I'm sure you have a special place in her heart."

"So, I want to know what you think of Rourou."

He paused and said, "Think about it before answering. I'm still very good at distinguishing true from false."

Su Jiang fell into deep thought, with complex emotions surging in his heart. How does he feel about An Rou?

The room was silent. An Mingjie did not urge him. He just played with the chess pieces and waited for Su Jiang's answer.

After a long time, Su Jiang made a move and said, "I don't know how I feel about An Rou."

"Since that unexpected confession, I seem to have an inseparable connection with her."

"I think she's cute when she's angry, and my heart beats faster when I hug her. If she's wronged and bullied, I might become even angrier than I was in the bar yesterday."

"I think of her face from time to time. When I wake up from sleeping on the table in class, I will unconsciously look at her seat. Even though I made an appointment with my friends to go to the Internet cafe to play games today, I stood him up without hesitation as soon as she opened her mouth..."

This was the first time he spoke out his thoughts. Su Jiang raised his head and looked at An Mingjie: "I've never been in a relationship, so I don't know if this counts as love. If this situation is called love, then I should like An Rou."

An Mingjie listened carefully, with a smile on his face. He could hear that Su Jiang's words came from the heart.

"Have you said this to Rou Rou?"

"No."

An Mingjie nodded. That's right. If he said that, his silly sister might fall for him.

Then An Mingjie stopped talking about this topic. He had already gotten what he wanted to know.

The two fell into silence again. On the chessboard, Su Jiang's situation gradually became disadvantageous.

"What do you think of the An family?" An Mingjie asked again after placing a piece.

Su Jiang hesitated for a moment and replied, "It's very special. It's not quite the same as the mafia family I imagined."

"Oh? What kind of mafia family do you imagine?" An Mingjie asked curiously.

"Cold-blooded, with a strict hierarchy, cruel, and bullying the weak..."

Su Jiang said a series of things, and then said: "But I don't seem to see these in the An family, and I even think you don't look like gangsters."

An Mingjie couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "You are right, and outsiders also evaluate our An family in this way."

"It clearly regards itself as a gangster family, but it has not done many gangster things."

"This is also related to when my father founded the An family."

"Back then, my father was in danger because he offended a certain family. He could only choose to gradually expand his power to protect himself, but as he provoked more and more enemies, he had to take tough measures to fight back. Over time, the An family was labeled as a gangster family by the outside world."

Su Jiang nodded when he heard this. It turned out that the name of the An family as a gangster was gradually established in the struggle with other gangster families.
