Chapter 1422 - 921: Kiss
"Nothing much." Jiang Nian said, "I’m still in Yuhang, is there anywhere you want to play?"
"When you have a break, let’s go together."
Upon hearing that, Li Qingrong thought carefully for a while. Finally, she looked up at Jiang Nian, who was full of expectation.
"I don’t like doing it in hotels."
Jiang Nian: "???"
"Qingqing." He became serious, "I think you should correct your stereotypical bias against me."
"I’m not a lustful demon, I’m just purely going to play."
"Mm." Li Qingrong nodded.
Whether she listened attentively to him was unknown, "Then let’s go to the seaside, any beach will do."
"Alright."
This kind of thing still needed Jiang Nian to suggest. After all, he understood Li Qingrong, who could spend a whole year studying tirelessly.
Only when she’s exhausted would she say she wants to go somewhere.
At this moment, he still felt obliged. He had to arrange the break plan well and complete psychological counseling.
Balance between work and rest.
Otherwise, the stereotypes would only deepen. Although they don’t affect emotions, they don’t sound good.
Damn!
"What is your sister doing?" Jiang Nian casually asked, "Last time she was on a business trip for quite a while."
Upon hearing that, Li Qingrong stared at him for a few moments.
"She won’t be traveling recently."
After chatting, they had a meal together. Being with Qingqing was actually pretty comfortable.
Whatever you want to do, you can do, even if you don’t talk.
They wandered to the bookstore, and suddenly Li Qingrong stopped. Then, in the puzzled gaze of Jiang Nian, walked inside.
"What book do you want to buy?"
"Just browsing."
Until Li Qingrong stopped in front of a row of lifestyle books. Then she reached out and picked up a bestseller.
"The Couple’s Life Maintenance Manual"
Jiang Nian: "???"
"Why are you looking at this?"
"To study."
Li Qingrong’s expression was cool, her fair fingers flipping through the pages, "To make you willingly stay by my side."
Upon hearing that, Jiang Nian got even more puzzled, "I’ve always been willing, so what’s the situation now?"
"Am I being forced?"
"Female allure." Li Qingrong said without turning her head.
Jiang Nian: "..."
"What if I grow old and lose my charm?" She said calmly, "And coincidentally, there’s an eighteen-year-old girl."
Jiang Nian got embarrassed, though he couldn’t deny.
There’s really one.
Low-score kid just turned eighteen, although the condition is she has to pass the exams. But after sophomore year, she’d likely leave with a bucket.
Still, the question needs a response.
He thought for a moment and said, "If it really happens, I’d still choose you, willing to spend a lifetime together."
Still choosing among many, looking at the origin.
...
"Damn, I’ve realized I might be a masochist." Da Chao returned to the dorm and slammed the door shut.
"The senior asked me to run errands, and I damn went along!"
"It’s alright, just helping out." Jiang Nian was unconcerned, "You guys sort of dated anyway."
"Not really." Da Chao changed shoes and sat on the chair, "We dated a while but only held hands."
"No way!" Brother Bao Song slid on the computer chair, "Bro, you’re truly like a ninja turtle."
"Damn!"
"I didn’t want to!" Da Chao cursed, "I was about to kiss, and she said her period came, damn it!"
Everyone: "???"
"Were you going to kiss there?"
"Of course not!" Da Chao was speechless, "I’m not a pervert, I was going to kiss lips, but got blocked."
Jiang Nian was replying to messages, then raised his head, "Da Chao, you can post tasks and charge fees to run errands."
"Specifically targeting seniors would be faster and more precise?"
Upon hearing, Yang Jingfan asked.
"But what if they have a boyfriend?"
"Charge them."
"Damn!!" Everyone cursed out loud, which was truly bad but feasible.
"I’ll try it."
"Actually, I’m a bit curious," Jiang Nian started giving advice since he was free, "Except for Brother Bao Song."
"He and Fanzi have no interest in women."
"Da Chao, you’re so eager, why not buy a camera and take photos for people to earn benefits?"
"Some will blindly fall for it, and here you go."
Da Chao: "..."
Why didn’t you say so earlier?
A little later, Da Chao gleefully left the dorm. Leaving three roommates to guard the room.
Brother Bao Song was curious, "Why did you suddenly give advice?"
"Deng Yi asked me for help," Jiang Nian said, "said Da Chao’s been acting strange lately, pestering her non-stop."
"For old times’ sake, asked me to help divert him."
Brother Bao Song: "...."
Yang Jingfan: "..."
May passed by peacefully.
Once June began, time became rushed. Three things happened; one was nearing final exams.
The second was taking graduation photos in the fourth year, take photos and leave, thirdly it was almost time for college entrance exams.
The low-score kid hasn’t messaged recently, likely shut herself in to prepare for exams, that effort is worrying.
Jiang Nian found some leisure time and arranged a run with Xu Shuang.
"Did you take any random medicine?"
"No, that’s impossible," Xu Shuang said, "Qiuqiu has been scared stiff lately, doesn’t dare to see you."
"Hmmph!"
Jiang Nian didn’t object, but he actually wanted the prescription. If there were no issues, he’d use it.
"You can run from a monk, but not from the temple."
Xu Shuang: "..."
"Didn’t you promise not to bother her last time? What’s wrong with you..... you didn’t keep your word!"
"I didn’t bother her," Jiang Nian coughed, "Just chatting, don’t worry too much."
"Mainly not sure if the prescription has any side effects, planning to show it to experts."
"No worries." Xu Shuang looked bemused, then waved her hand, "I showed it to professors, no problems confirmed."
"Okay, okay." Jiang Nian temporarily dropped it.
After running, he didn’t sweat much. Just in warm-up mode, he took a tissue and turned to wipe Xu Shuang’s face.
"Hmm?"
Xu Shuang was caught off guard by his unexpected gentleness, dazed for a moment, "No need, I’ll wash up later."
Upon saying it, both felt awkward.
What’s this about?
"No, I mean." Xu Shuang blushed, evidently thinking of something, "I’ll just wipe myself clean."
Jiang Nian held firm, ignoring her words. Until he wiped away all the sweat on Xu Shuang’s face.
The paper was casually rolled and held in his palm.
"By the way, you’re quite sassy."
"You!!!"
Xu Shuang picked up the tissue beside her and threw it at Jiang Nian, "What are you saying!!"
She was truly furious, but missed.
"How could you....."
Jiang Nian didn’t care, led her by the hand away from the track, "Remember the investment company?"
Now onto serious topics, Xu Shuang hesitated to press further.
"Of course."
"What do you want to drink? I’ll find a place to chat." Jiang Nian planned to use her investment company to test his abilities first.
And meanwhile, earn some money.
"I’m sticky, I want to shower first." Xu Shuang said this, suddenly feeling embarrassed again.
Then immediately annoyed.
All because of Jiang Nian!
....
"Ding dong!"
Zhao Yiqiu opened the door, seeing Jiang Nian. She froze momentarily, then dashed to her room.
"I’m sleepy, going to sleep first!"
Jiang Nian pointed at Zhao Yiqiu’s room and asked, "Why is she skipping classes daily? Doesn’t Beijing Sports University care?"
"She took sick leave."
"Hm?"
Does she really look sick?
"I’ll go shower first, you sit on your own." Xu Shuang couldn’t stand the stickiness, just walked a couple of steps and turned back.
"Are you showering too?"
Jiang Nian was alright, not sweating much. Just as he prepared to refuse, Xu Shuang pulled him over.
"Come together!"
Jiang Nian: "..."
He thought for a moment, it indeed has been a while since they last met. Just let her be, regarding Zhao Yiqiu though, no need to bother.
In the bathroom, completely drenched.
The atmosphere was nice, but couldn’t linger long. One reason being it’ll get cold after a while, second, it restricts movement.
Jiang Nian took a towel and wrapped it around Xu Shuang. After gently drying her off, he carried her back to the room.
Xu Shuang’s breathing was hurried, feeling somewhat nervous.
"Let me do it myself."
