Chapter 1430 - 925: Summer Vacation
"Let’s eat first, I’m hungry."
"Are you busy this afternoon?" He asked this while looking at Yao Beibei, "Yao Daban?"
"Not really, what’s up?"
"The finals are over, let me take you all out for some fun," Jiang Nian suggested, "How about shopping and karaoke?"
"In between we can go for hotpot."
The two girls exchanged glances and smiled. No matter how they pretend to be grown-ups, they’re still university girls.
Not even talking about being busy or their image.
"Sure! x2"
The three of them shopped all afternoon, sang at karaoke around four or five, and when exhausted in the evening, found a hotpot place to recharge.
"Try this." Zhang Ningzhi picked up a piece of tofu cooked in the hotpot and placed it in Jiang Nian’s bowl.
"I want to eat something else."
"No way!"
Reluctantly, Jiang Nian ate a bite of tofu. Only then did Zhang Ningzhi purse her lips and smile happily.
"By the way."
"We’ve decided to start with some print advertisements to practice. If it goes smoothly, we’ll move on to the next step."
"What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Yao Beibei also looked over. Although they had Mr. Zhang to rely on, they trusted Jiang Nian’s insight more.
Subconsciously, they felt he was more reliable.
"Go for it, you can’t become a big shot overnight. Gradually is good, earning a little pocket money is okay."
Hearing him say this, both girls breathed a sigh of relief.
They actually had ideas and were quite smart. Just at the beginning, they needed someone to boost their confidence.
"Take it slow, I have resources too," Jiang Nian saw the two girls listening attentively, so he raised his glass.
"Cheers!"
"With cola instead of wine, grow big and strong!"
"Cheers! x2"
The girls’ moods came quickly and left quickly. Soon they were bustling with eating and drinking again, until they parted ways to go home.
On the way, Yao Beibei’s expression suddenly became strange. Realizing there’s a big event coming up.
But how to deal with it herself.
It’s late at night, can’t just say she’s going to the company to work overtime. Although she indeed has a task at hand, but...
Ugh.
If she goes back to the apartment, she’ll be forced to listen to drama. White waves surging on the ocean, flocks of white gulls soaring high?
.....
Jiang Nian isn’t thinking too much.
Eating means inevitably sleeping. His dorm already had all the roommates go home, so it didn’t really matter where he slept.
"Aren’t you going up?" Zhang Ningzhi bent over at the car door of the passenger seat, her bright eyes looking at him.
"Hm?" Jiang Nian hadn’t gotten out of the car, hadn’t undone the seatbelt, just turned his head to look at his good desk mate.
"There’s an email to handle at the studio side, besides, hadn’t you just come over recently?"
"They left!!"
"They’ve been gone a while!" Zhang Ningzhi stomped her foot in annoyance, "Hmph!! You don’t care about me at all!"
"How could that be? The cola I gave you doesn’t have ice." Jiang Nian said, undoing his seatbelt to get out of the car.
At night, the low beam headlights illuminated a section of the road. He walked over to Zhizhi and took the items in her hand.
"You go ahead, let me park the car."
Zhang Ningzhi was happy for a moment, then hesitated, "But what about your company email?"
"I’ll use your computer."
"Okay."
Actually, there wasn’t any crucial file, Jiang Nian was just saying it casually. Ever since that time in Yuhang...
Thinking about Yao Beibei made it a bit awkward.
Feeling pretty sorry for her.
Although Zhang Ningzhi was the one who actively came downstairs, with the loft structure, sounds drifted upward, the loft was the disaster zone.
Not to mention breathing sounds, even if someone downstairs were to step on a mosquito, it could be heard.
So, they tested it this way.
Since Zhang Ningzhi didn’t care, Jiang Nian cared even less. After all, their girls’ matters had nothing to do with him.
Going upstairs.
"Have to say, the large balcony is pretty nice." Jiang Nian lay back in the usual spot, stretching lazily.
After a while, Yao Beibei walked past the living room, seeing him turn to look over, she had to explain.
"Just getting water."
"Oh, get your water." Jiang Nian nodded, thinking they must have discussed it privately.
Half a minute later, Yao Beibei left.
Zhang Ningzhi happened to come out of the kitchen, holding a glass of ice water with some lemon juice for Jiang Nian.
Seeing the two chatting, she couldn’t help thinking.
"en....."
He must have discussed it with Beibei, otherwise he wouldn’t have dared to come up. Really considerate, saves her from social death moments.
Keeping this tacit understanding is quite nice.
On another front.
Yao Beibei returned to her room, deciding not to go out again tonight. She flipped through a drawer to find earplugs and sighed.
"Is this even human?"
"Money is terrifying, it turns you into a xx."
Night deepened.
The last sound faded, the waves returned to the depths of the ocean. Only faint, whisper-like sounds remained.
Yao Beibei opened her eyes, looking weary.
Is this reasonable?
"Tomorrow’s work, I’m sure I’ll do it alone." She grumbled before drifting back to sleep.
Meanwhile, the master bedroom.
Zhang Ningzhi covered her face, slightly embarrassed.
"Ah, don’t look."
Jiang Nian had already turned on the lights when it ended. He glanced at the soaked stockings, thinking what a pity.
"Not looking."
"Will you be staying in Beijing all summer?"
"Yeah." Zhizhi wrapped herself like a little dumpling with a blanket, "Most of the time, yes."
"Oh, remember to come see me."
"I will." Jiang Nian, through the cool little blanket, patted her butt, "Shall we shower together?"
Hearing this, Zhang Ningzhi shook her head like a rattling drum.
"No, you go first."
....
The next day.
Jiang Nian was preparing to leave a note and head out, just in time to see Yao Beibei waking up, ready to say hi.
"Huh?"
"Your dark circles are so heavy?"
Yao Beibei: "...."
She hesitated to speak, took a deep breath, and waved her hand, saying, "Nothing, stayed up late watching dramas."
"Oh, I see." Jiang Nian nodded, thinking they indeed must have talked it over, as the reason was pretty far-fetched.
"Then you get some sleep, I’ll head out first."
Yao Beibei paused, thinking he wouldn’t even pretend anymore? Just when she agreed, upon realizing, he was already gone.
"...."
Beihua University doesn’t allow overnight stays.
Yu Zhiyi also had to head home, she bought a train ticket. Half the day on the train saves money.
In the afternoon, Jiang Nian drove her.
"In such a hurry?"
"Staying at school costs money, better to stay home." Yu Zhiyi was straightforward, saying it all.
Jiang Nian shrugged, glancing at the passenger seat, "Got you a plane ticket but you didn’t want it, isn’t the train uncomfortable?"
"No need."
Yu Zhiyi said, "My time isn’t that precious, besides, I can play on my phone on the train, won’t be boring."
Jiang Nian: "..."
Yu Zhiyi glanced at Jiang Nian, she knew he surely had a spot in Beijing to stay.
Maybe nobody lived there now, but it wasn’t hers.
Even.....
Nobody would be brought there, it belonged to some girl. Or, maybe it’s where Chen Yunyun is kept under wraps.
"Want to make money?"
"Hm?" Yu Zhiyi snapped back.
"What’s your plan for the summer?" Jiang Nian asked, "If you’re free, you can earn some pocket money."
Yu Zhiyi thought about it, didn’t immediately agree.
"Is it your company?"
"No, a friend’s." Jiang Nian thought, stuffing an intern in should be fine.
"Whenever you want, let me know."
"Okay."
At the train station, Yu Zhiyi watched Jiang Nian pushing her luggage. She couldn’t help but smile, then quickly restrained it.
Before parting, she gave Jiang Nian a quick peck.
"Bye-bye."
"Mm."
Jiang Nian watched as Yu Yourong went through the gate, thinking about sending another one off. If it’s graduation, it would be harder.
Standing for two minutes, Yu Zhiyi hurried back.
"Forgot my ID."
Jiang Nian: "??? "
He spent two minutes helping Yu Zhiyi install a train app to apply for an electronic ID, thinking how fortunate she hadn’t gone.
"Why are you so clumsy?"
"Oh." Yu Zhiyi lowered her head, a bit embarrassed, then hugged Jiang Nian tightly, her softness pressed flat.
"I’m leaving, remember me."
