Chapter 1350 - 885: Turns Out It Was Just Put Away_2
In the past year, the two of them have come to understand each other well. In the past, he definitely wouldn’t speak like this.
"Is it tacky?"
Xu Shuang paused, thought for a moment, and said, "Maybe, how about changing it to a house, what do you think?"
Jiang Nian was at a loss for words.
This person’s penchant for making fun of others seems endless, always teasing without a care in the world.
"Just average, I’m not interested in money."
"Indeed." Xu Shuang took a sip of Vita Soy Milk and glanced at him, "You only like breasts."
*"Cough cough cough!!"*
Jiang Nian almost choked, glanced at her, "What’s wrong with you? Did your brother provoke you?"
"Hmm, he’s as lazy as a pig." Xu Shuang said, feeling a bit guilty, she did vent her anger at him earlier.
But then, thinking about it, he has vented his anger on her too.
So, it counts as even.
"Your brother is different." Jiang Nian, ever the diplomat, said, "Take it slow, let’s have breakfast first."
"Hmm." Xu Shuang lowered her head.
After breakfast, the two naturally got into the car. They returned to the teahouse, found a quiet corner by the window to drink tea and chat.
"Why did you suddenly come back?"
"Work has reached a stopping point, if I don’t return now I might not get the chance." Jiang Nian spoke ambiguously but truthfully.
As for how Xu Shuang perceived it, that was her business.
"Oh, I see." Xu Shuang nodded, unknowingly starting to mimic Jiang Nian’s manner of speaking.
"Hmm."
After a while, Xu Shuang suddenly put down her teacup and said.
"Do you think..."
"How about eloping?"
"Never heard of that song." Jiang Nian didn’t pick up the topic, thinking this woman is crazy, "Can you find it on NetEase Cloud?"
Xu Shuang: "...."
"Forget it, I’m just joking." She waved her hand, "It’s quite tiring staying in Zhen Nan all the time."
Jiang Nian thought about it, but answered seriously.
"Who knows about the future, but if one day you want to leave everything behind, I won’t abandon you."
Xu Shuang shuddered, feeling like a current ran through her body.
It was the most direct yet genuine sentence. It was unexpected that someone of his character would say such things.
"What do you mean by not abandoning?"
"Just saying casually, you’re actually asking?" Jiang Nian replied with a grin, returning to his usual manner.
Xu Shuang: "...."
"Huh, then I’ll take care of your kid." Xu Shuang sneered, "If you can bear it, go ahead...."
"What kid?" Jiang Nian originally wanted to say something but suddenly recalled something.
In the simulated time-space, twenty years later, he and Xu Shuang probably wouldn’t have kids.
In the Memory Fragment, even the high-definition image of the wedding night bloodstains was there. Later, they surely didn’t skimp on the preparations.
Yet, no kids.
..... Zhizhi gave birth.
Xu Qianqian, for the time being, unknown..... Brother Tongzi has crashed, seems later on it happened too.
Because, behind the system task, there is a hidden line similar to Zhizhi’s task.
Unfortunately, it completely crashed.
"How’s your health recently?" Jiang Nian looked at Xu Shuang and asked what he thought was an absurd question.
"Pretty good."
"Makes sense, you like running."
"Not exactly." Xu Shuang said, "Forced to, during high school I had menstrual pain, it was particularly painful during menstruation."
"Then with suitable exercise, the symptoms reduced significantly."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian paused for a moment.
"How about now?"
"Not bad, a bit painful." Xu Shuang didn’t know why he was asking this, "Bearable."
Jiang Nian remembered he still had a trick in Nourishing. Thus, he gestured to her and said.
"Come over."
"Hmm?"
Xu Shuang, without suspecting anything, stood in front of him. She saw Jiang Nian reach out and touch her lower abdomen.
And then, gently massage.
"???"
"What are you doing...?"
"Hmm?~"
After a few presses, Xu Shuang couldn’t help but let out a muffled groan. Holding back towards the end, it turned into a deep nasal sound.
Her face turned red instantly, had it been too long since she had been with him?
Why was her body so sensitive?
"Stop... Should we, go to the backyard?" Xu Shuang stammered, "You.....don’t do it here."
Jiang Nian looked up, bewildered.
"What are you talking about?"
The side effects of Nourishing were quite significant, this unreliable skill. Honestly speaking, it didn’t seem like something serious.
However, the effect was quite apparent.
"How does it feel?"
"I...need to go to my room, change clothes."
"I meant your lower abdomen."
"Oh, it’s warm." Xu Shuang curiously asked, "You can massage? When did you learn?"
"Just figured it out, I’ll massage for you again next time."
"Sure." Xu Shuang pursed her lips, the corners of her mouth unintentionally turned up, with a subtle hint of expectation, then she realized.
"Not today?"
.....
Surely not today, he still had things to do. In the morning, he took some time to visit Old Liu.
Still carrying some tea leaves, he immediately asked about Qingbao.
"Teacher, how’s the biology teacher recently? That punk hasn’t bothered her anymore, right?"
Old Liu found it hard to hold back, why are you asking me.
"Maybe."
"Usually.....I haven’t heard anything similar, Teacher Zhong’s commute seems normal."
"Oh, that’s good to hear." Jiang Nian was indignant, "I’m too full of justice."
Old Liu: "...."
"Why don’t you ask her directly?"
"Avoiding suspicion."
Old Liu was even more speechless, you really avoided suspicion. Treating me as, the middleman messenger?
"How is your time at Beijing University?"
"Not bad, almost getting kicked out." Jiang Nian said, "Don’t worry, teacher, I’ll keep trying my best."
Old Liu couldn’t hold back, this rascal.
Was he threatening himself?
"Your studies are your own." Old Liu coughed, "A degree from Beijing University offers many benefits."
"Teacher, how do you know my company is getting financing?" Jiang Nian suddenly slapped his palm, regretfully said.
"Should’ve known, shouldn’t have gone to schooling!"
Old Liu: "...."
"If I have the time, I’ll follow up on Teacher Zhong. After all, that’s also my responsibility."
"Soon, I’m probably moving upward."
"Congratulations, teacher." Jiang Nian grinned, got up, and was ready to leave, "I’ll come to see you again tomorrow."
After speaking, he really left directly.
In seeing this, Old Liu wanted to say something but stopped. Both proud of having this student, and troubled by this student.
"I’m non-stick, but this person is stickier than stone."
On the other side.
Jiang Nian was already humming a tune, heading home. Having spent the morning out, strangely he wasn’t tired.
The benefits of double stamina and refreshing, just shows the older you get, the greater the gains.
Going back home, he heard movement from next door.
Without hesitating, he knocked on the door. After a short wait, Song Xiyun came to open the door.
"Come in." Xiao Song’s tone was quite indifferent.
"Alright." Jiang Nian nodded.
His facial expression didn’t change much, but inside he felt somewhat unsettled, this time last year, the circumstances were different.
"Wait a moment."
"Hmm?" Jiang Nian was about to take his shoes off, hearing this, he couldn’t help but look up, thinking wouldn’t he be kicked out?
"What’s wrong?"
He asked, slightly anxious. After all, irrespective of the situation, he was in the wrong.
This time coming back wasn’t to quickly mend relationships. Rather, to first make contact and ’break the ice’ in the relationship.
"There are slippers at the entrance." Xiao Song pointed to the entrance before turning back to the living room.
"What?"
Jiang Nian turned his head, and indeed saw a familiar pair of slippers, quietly placed at the door.
Didn’t throw them away, just put them away.
He stared at those slippers for a full minute and a half. With mixed emotions, he silently put on the slippers.
Upon entering, the living room was empty.
Both women had gone back to their rooms, leaving the whole living room silent, only Jiang Nian was standing there.
He glanced at the trash can, it didn’t have any snack wrappers.
They probably hadn’t eaten yet. So, he returned to his home across the door and brought over some ingredients.
Just have to say, he laughed so hard.
Soon, the sound of cooking came from the kitchen. He didn’t ask or do nothing.
Cooking, without any special motives.
The relationship among the three was like an old item. Won’t be thrown away, just temporarily put aside.
When the time is right, take it out again.
