Chapter 1369 - 895: New Home
Jiang Nian was in an awkward position, unable to understand what she wanted to do. Is it really true, as the old saying goes, that one thing subdues another?
The other person’s eyes were shining brightly, as delighted as swaying foxtail grass, with an exceptionally expectant expression.
Feeling the weight of the bag in his hand, he hesitated for a moment, thinking for a bit, then simply decided to take a leap.
"Yes, I like you."
"Then... what do you like about me?" Wang Yuhe’s eyes widened a bit more, excitedly pursuing the question.
"I like..." Jiang Nian leaned back.
Sky-reversing technique.
Now he suddenly felt a bit embarrassed, all his tactics had failed, and he could only speak the truth.
"I like your looks."
"And what else?" Wang Yuhe moved closer again.
"Good figure, um..." Jiang Nian said, "A little silly, it’s fun to tease you."
Wang Yuhe instantly frowned, staring at him fiercely.
"You’re the silly one!"
She put one hand on her hip, her pale fingertip pointing at Jiang Nian’s chest, "I’m not silly at all, actually very clever!"
Jiang Nian: "..."
How come this is her reaction?
Luckily he didn’t say anything too heartfelt, otherwise, she would definitely have laughed at him.
Wait, why would I be afraid of her laughing at me?
Jiang Nian slapped his forehead, thinking, it’s really over. Whenever I get close to Wang Yuhe, I get automatically dumb.
"Alright, I’m heading back now."
"Oh, then I’m going home for dinner too." Wang Yuhe waved her hand, "Are you coming back after the New Year?"
"Hard to say, might have to go to Yuhang."
"Alright then."
Jiang Nian took a few steps and then turned back to look. Wang Yuhe also turned back just then, quickly shrinking back.
It was as if she was caught doing something secretive, she felt guilty and quickly sped up her pace, then directly sprinted forward.
In the blink of an eye, she disappeared around the street corner.
Jiang Nian: "..."
"Strange."
....
Back home.
The other side was empty; Xu Qianqian and the others hadn’t returned yet. They were probably busy running around in Yuhang.
This is how love shatters.
Fixing it up for a couple of years may not completely mend the relationship; in the end, there’s always a thorn left.
But it’s not entirely a bad thing.
At least the two girls no longer have internal conflicts, united against Jiang Nian. Whenever Jiang Nian is mentioned, they can’t wait to spit.
Moreover, due to his provocation.
Boss Xu started her entrepreneurship early, plunging into the struggle; her tenacity in this regard is indeed not inferior to Jiang Nian’s.
With Zhao Qiuxue’s assistance, or more appropriately, Jiang Nian intentionally or unintentionally instructed Zhao Qiuxue to help Xu Qianqian.
It can only be said.
Unlucky in love but lucky in business.
Yet even when Xu Qianqian isn’t around. Jiang Nian gets scolded when he returns home, severely despised by Li Hongmei.
"Mom, I’m only staying home a few days."
"So what?"
"Can’t you criticize me a bit less?" Jiang Nian complained, "Aren’t you afraid I might just run away?"
Li Hongmei was busy in the kitchen, Old Jiang assisting her, with the oil already heated and the fragrance wafting.
In the humming sound of the range hood, Ms. Li waved her spatula.
"Can’t rely on you for anything, if you run away, then run. At least I still have my pride and can talk to Qianqian."
Jiang Nian: "..."
Fine, as long as I’m not kicked out.
"Mom, it’s not even New Year yet." Jiang Nian smiled cheekily, leaning against the kitchen door, "Already making wishes?"
"Get lost!"
Jiang Nian swiftly left, eating a few chili dumplings on the way, planning to put the rest in the fridge.
He opened the door to find the fridge full.
"Mom!"
"Why is the fridge packed full?"
"Aren’t you going to eat during New Year?" Li Hongmei’s voice came clearly from the kitchen.
"Relatives are coming, can we buy things last minute?"
Jiang Nian was speechless; of course, it’s possible. The times aren’t what they were; now the supermarket even reaches the alleyway.
But he didn’t argue, thinking of buying a new fridge in a few days.
Then, carrying his things, he picked up the key from the table and walked out the door, directly entering the house opposite.
Opened the empty fridge and put them in.
"Convenient."
He chuckled smugly, then returned home, lying on the sofa, scrolling through the class group chat for class three.
Scrolling up, someone was really organizing a gathering.
Lin Dong?
Isn’t this guy now dating Chai Muying, the Qing Dynasty veteran paired with the scatterbrained Chai Muying?
This pairing is just perfect, how did they even catch each other’s eye?
He checked over and over again, observing for a while. The gathering hadn’t been confirmed yet; they were still chatting aimlessly.
The next day.
Li Hua and the others happened to be around; they invited Jiang Nian, casually gathering at the internet cafe.
"Aren’t we in college now, still gaming?"
"What else?"
"Enough with this, aren’t you picky now?"
"Pity there aren’t any gals."
A group of them went online, directly into a private room. Played until midnight, then went out for a late-night snack together.
After eating and drinking, the group was cheerful.
Jiang Nian drank quite a bit but remained clear-headed. Squinting while replying to messages, the cold light from the screen fell on his face.
"How did you end up with Chai Muying?"
"Huh? I..." Lin Dong was instantly stuck by this sudden question.
The group turned to stare at him.
"Why didn’t you bring her here?"
"You beast."
"Yeah, eating the grass nearby." The hefty guy took another bite of skewers, "Same as damn Jiang Nian."
"Screw you!" Jiang Nian couldn’t hold back, "Really byd, even with food, you can’t shut up."
"Hey, what a mess." Lin Dong said, "Life is unpredictable, mostly college is just too boring."
This remark resonated with a few others.
"Indeed, club background scenery."
"Indeed."
"All damned Old Liu’s fault, always saying how exciting college is. Turns out the excitement was for someone else."
"Stop Old Liu Old Liu already, now we should call him Director Liu."
"Damn!"
"Chi Shi!!"
There were no women present, and as they chatted away the topic naturally shifted to Jiang Nian.
"Damn it, it’s all because of this guy." Lin Dong complained, "The gathering can’t happen at all."
