Chapter 1390 - 905: I Kind of Like You_2
Sure, here is the translation:
In a secluded corner, moving forward slowly.
He scrolled up and noticed that Chen Yunyun had also spoken. Someone in the group was discussing the teacher, so she chimed in.
"Is the English teacher teaching the second year now?"
"Yeah, next semester."
"Then won’t she take the third year again this winter?"
"Time flies....."
Jiang Nian continued scrolling up and found it was the same few people talking. Wang Yuhe was silent, and Yu Zhiyi had disappeared.
The former because of social anxiety, the latter probably wanted to keep a low profile.
"Go take a shower."
A crisp voice interrupted his thoughts. A waft of fragrance drifted over, and Xu Shuang stood beside him.
"Or do you want to wait a bit before washing?"
"Now," Jiang Nian got up, found his pajamas in the master bedroom, feeling a bit speechless.
These clothes were originally in the guest room. But this time when he came, the clothes were moved to the master bedroom.
When asked, the answer was that the guest room had to be used for storage.
It was getting late.
With a slap, Jiang Nian patted Xu Shuang. The latter did not move, appearing weak.
"I can’t do it."
Jiang Nian: "...."
Feeling bored, he turned over and went to the window. He drew back a corner of the curtain, letting the moonlight in.
"Do you want to go and replenish your strength?"
Xu Shuang: "..."
She lay sprawled on the bed, a strand of hair sticking to her mouth. She spat three times, barely managing to blow the hair away.
"No!!"
After she said it, she felt a little guilty. Before, her stamina couldn’t keep up, and now her body seemed to be failing.
Too much has been lost; it’s truly becoming weak.
Xu Shuang sat up, glanced at Jiang Nian’s back, hesitated for a moment, then spoke with pursed lips.
"Actually, there’s another way."
Jiang Nian turned around, looking at her.
"No need."
"It’s not worth it; I’m not some lustful demon." He thought for a moment, "Next time, you might not be in the best state."
Xu Shuang was silent, feeling something break.
It turned out to be her dignity.
Why was it different from what Qiuqiu said, usually..... never mind, I’ll ask again tomorrow and find out.
After washing up, the two sat at the table, drinking tea.
It was a little habit of theirs, of course, when conditions didn’t permit, they would just drink some water to make do.
"How is your grandfather’s health?"
"He’s doing well."
Xu Shuang nodded and sighed, "He’s getting old and can’t leave Zhen Nan, so he’ll have to stay there."
"It’s only natural," Jiang Nian said.
"What about your parents? Will they relocate with you?" Xu Shuang turned to ask, lowering her eyes, her gaze shifty.
"I asked them before, as a precaution."
"They refused?"
"Yeah," Jiang Nian nodded, "They just want to stay in the old building, surrounded by decades-old neighbors."
"They plan to walk around here, have tea there when they retire, and it’s easy for them to show off."
Xu Shuang: "...."
He really doesn’t even spare his parents when he talks.
"That sounds nice."
....
The next day.
Jiang Nian continued to deal with renovation matters, almost all set up. The renovation team had entered to start transforming the bathroom.
The efficiency was high, but it would still take at least three days.
He couldn’t be bothered with it, so he left everything to Xu Shuang. All follow-up inspections and alike were her responsibility.
He took the time to pick up Chen Yunyun and the others.
"Long time no see."
They had seen each other before the Chinese New Year, and since then had been busy. It had been almost a half month without meeting.
"Long time no see." Chen Yunyun sat in the backseat, fastening her seatbelt, "Is your studio done?"
"Almost."
"What does it look like? Can I go see it?" Wang Yuhe asked with stars in her eyes.
"No."
"Why not, can’t anyone come in?"
"No, just not you." Jiang Nian said casually while driving, "You’re too noisy, you’ll disturb me from working."
"You!!!"
Wang Yuhe fumed, shaking Chen Yunyun’s arm, "Yunyun, he’s calling me annoying!"
Chen Yunyun was speechless, only able to twitch a smile.
"You’re not."
Hearing this, Jiang Nian just chuckled. Suddenly realizing another issue, did Wang Yuhe mention it?
Last year, he had run to find her, only to be questioned back, saying she wanted to ask Yunyun.
The main point was being unsure if she had actually asked. With everything happening, he’d forgotten.
Now...
Jiang Nian glanced at Chen Yunyun, seeing her calm expression. He pondered for a while, but couldn’t see anything.
Or should he.....
Just ask directly later?
The three found a place to eat, chatting all the while, with Jiang Nian absent-minded and a little indecisive.
Asking directly still seemed too risky.
Until the two girls were ready to head back to school. Jiang Nian hadn’t found a chance to ask alone and couldn’t help but complain about the two girls.
They stick too close, even going to the restroom together?
He gave up.
At Beijing Institute of Technology, when Jiang Nian was dropping the girls off, they bumped into Chen Yunyun’s roommate on the way to the dormitory.
The two girls stood by chatting for a bit.
Jiang Nian turned to look at Wang Yuhe, who was quietly standing next to him, unable to hold back a laugh.
At home, she’s fierce, but outside she’s so meek.
"Hey, Wang Yuhe."
"What?" The elementary student was already annoyed, predicting Jiang Nian was about to say something cheeky, "Don’t talk!"
"I’m asking, about last time....." he coughed lightly, lowering his voice, "Did you tell Chen Yunyun?"
"What about?"
"That time during New Year, what you asked."
"Oh, I remember now." Wang Yuhe looked up at him, blinking, "Of course I told her."
"What the hell?"
Jiang Nian was shocked. Can she even say that?
"What was Yunyun’s reaction?"
"She said, uh....." Wang Yuhe thought for a moment, "She said she knew, then said they’ll see in the future."
Jiang Nian: "???"
Knew?
"What did you say?" He was a bit skeptical, thinking the elementary student might not have conveyed it clearly, leaving it vague.
"Just said....." Wang Yuhe replied, "I kind of like you and don’t want to be apart from you in the future."
Jiang Nian was stunned, not expecting it to be so direct.
"Oh.... oh."
After two minutes, Chen Yunyun returned, took her luggage from him, quietly reminded him of a few things, and went upstairs.
After a few steps, she turned back to wave.
"Bye-bye."
"Hmm, bye." Jiang Nian responded, waving back, and then noticed Wang Yuhe had also left.
He stood there as if in an empty background; with three dull thuds, he drifted far away.
.....
With mixed feelings, Jiang Nian returned to school. Wang Yuhe’s words left him dazed for quite a while.
On the way back, he was smiling.
Though sometimes it’s tough, life occasionally gives you a bit of sweetness, making the days less bland.
To be honest, it feels pretty good.
Back at the dorm.
Da Chao: "Brothers, I missed you so much!"
Brother Bao Song: "Get lost."
Yang Jingfan: "What’s this smell on you?"
Jiang Nian glanced at him, "Did you lie to your family about flying, and instead took the train and rocked your way here?"
"Yeah, my family gave me money for a business class ticket." Da Chao grinned, "Now I’ve got money for a dinner party."
The three: "....."
It’s not like we’re eating dragon meat from the heavens, is it necessary to save this much?
"Dinner party tonight?" Yang Jingfan sat down, laying out his book, "I’ll study for a bit first."
The three of them were already used to it.
"Sigh, I didn’t expect it to be the second half of sophomore year already." Da Chao opened his suitcase, distributing gifts he brought.
"Here, Brother Nian."
"Thanks." Jiang Nian took it and found it was a can of tea leaves, "What did you do over the New Year?"
"Class reunions, visiting relatives, stuff like that." Da Chao gave a standard answer, then asked back, "What about you?"
Jiang Nian: "Same as you."
"Sounds boring," Da Chao commented, "By the way, I’m not interested in dating anymore."
"Once I graduate, I’ll be Happy Superman."
Brother Bao Song: "???"
"What are you talking about?"
Da Chao said, "I’ve lost hope in love, I just want to be like Brother Nian."
