Chapter 1393 - 907: The Reason for Anger
In the dormitory, Jiang Nian suddenly felt a chill on his back.
"That’s strange."
He turned his head to look around the room—Da Chao was watching One Piece, Brother Bao Song was playing games, and Fanzi was reading.
Hmm, everything seemed harmonious.
What was wrong?
Buzz, his phone rang. Seeing it was from Xu Qianqian, Jiang Nian immediately leaned back in tactical retreat.
Oh no, something’s happened.
"Hello?"
"Where are you?"
"In the dormitory, what’s wrong?" Jiang Nian stood up, ready to take the call outside, "What happened?"
Without a word, Xu Qianqian gave him a location.
"Come pick us up."
Damn!
Hearing it’s a hospital, Jiang Nian hung up the phone and dashed out. He didn’t ask what was wrong, assuming "us" meant the two girls.
When he got there, he couldn’t see Xiao Song.
"Who’s this?"
Beside Xu Qianqian stood a stranger who looked somewhat frail, pressing a cotton ball on her hand.
"My roommate, came with her to see a doctor."
"Oh, oh," Jiang Nian breathed a sigh of relief, thinking Xiao Song was ill, "Hello, I’m Jiang Nian."
"Qianqian’s..."
"Neighbor," Xu Qianqian interrupted him.
Jiang Nian: "???"
Neighbor works too, and anyway, her toughest part is her mouth, but why does it seem like there’s an emotion?
"Hello, I’m Xu Qianqian’s roommate," the girl’s voice was weak, "Just call me He Qingfang."
"Alright, alright, get in the car."
Xu Qianqian got in the passenger seat, and Jiang Nian was about to leave. He intuitively glanced back at the hospital before getting in the car.
After half a minute, another car followed behind.
Li Lanying sat in the passenger seat, glancing at the girl in the driver’s seat, "Qingqing, are you really not upset?"
"I don’t know."
Li Lanying: "???"
"Tsk tsk, young people these days are really..." She shook her head, "If it were me, I would’ve crashed right into them."
Li Qingrong turned and gave her sister a look.
"Your stomach doesn’t hurt anymore?"
"It’s fine, I said it was nothing earlier," Li Lanying laughed, when you’re happy even pain seems trivial.
"Hmm."
On the other side, Jiang Nian had dropped Xu Qianqian back at school. Just as he was about to return to the dormitory, he got a call from Li Qingrong.
"Hmm?"
He felt faintly apprehensive and answered the phone.
"Hello?"
Li Qingrong didn’t speak, remaining silent for a long while.
"I was just at the hospital."
Jiang Nian was bewildered for a while, unsure of what to say. No wonder Xu Qianqian was acting so strange; the class president was also at the hospital.
Neighbor...
His mind was still processing the situation; his mouth moved faster than his thoughts.
"You..."
"I happened to see her, had a brief chat," Li Qingrong said, "Were you together since childhood?"
Jiang Nian didn’t hide from the class president; he knew this since senior year. It was just postponed temporarily.
Just postponed, not disregarded.
Jiang Nian felt anxious, not knowing what they talked about. But the class president didn’t seem indifferent.
"Ah... yes."
Normally, he’s quite talkative, but now he could only answer questions.
"Hmm."
Li Qingrong was silent for a moment before finally speaking again, "Let’s not meet for now."
Jiang Nian: "Huh?"
Beep beep beep.
He wasn’t even given a chance to ask questions before the call was hung up. Listening to the disconnect noise, he couldn’t help feeling confused.
What did they talk about? Was it that serious?
Jiang Nian squatted by Weiming Lake, looking at the serene water surface. He couldn’t help but sigh, life’s really not easy.
He was about to reconcile with Xu Qianqian, had already gone through several rounds of smoothing things over, and still, something unexpected happened.
Life can’t be dissected.
Jiang Nian thought for a while, then gradually stood up. No matter what, it’s much lighter than last time.
After all, he hadn’t hidden the nature of his relationship with Xu Qianqian. It’s not a matter of principle, so it shouldn’t be hard to handle.
Besides, there’s also opportunity in this.
...
The next day.
The league secretary came to find Jiang Nian, straightforwardly saying, "There’s a spring lecture this afternoon, do you want to go?"
"No."
The college has always held lectures, apart from the regular ones. During the spring semester opening, they usually organize some large lectures.
People in the class love to attend, even Brother Bao Song has gone before.
"What’s wrong with you?" Deng Yi patted him, "You look lifeless, bad mood?"
"Secretary, men and women shouldn’t touch each other."
"Haha."
"I’m done talking, I have things to attend to." Jiang Nian waved and left, having no mood to argue with Deng Yi.
It’s not that his mood was bad, just too many things going on.
He finished working in the studio and when he came out, it was already dark. He cautiously contacted Xiao Song, and within a few seconds, the call was connected.
"What’s up?" Xiao Song’s voice was calm.
"Um... have you eaten?" Jiang Nian stood outside the first-floor studio, looking at the nearby high-end apartment complex.
"I... have eaten." Xiao Song corrected herself.
"Xu Qianqian’s next to you, right?" Jiang Nian said, "Even if not for my sake, at least for the sake of coconut chicken."
"Freshly slaughtered, if it’s not tasty, I’ll change my name."
On the other end of the line, there was a slight pause. His eyelid twitched slightly, thinking there might be a chance, luckily he was prepared.
After a while, Xiao Song asked.
"Is it good?"
"Tender."
"Then you’re... not far off," Xiao Song said slowly, "Send the location."
"Just finished class, I’ll be there soon."
"Not far."
Jiang Nian hung up the phone, and began to order food leisurely. Ingredients were bought fresh and delivered quickly within twenty minutes.
The benefits of having money are most felt when you need to use it.
When the two girls took a taxi over, they saw the stall set up at the entrance, with a table full of boiling and gliding side dishes.
The stove was hot, coconuts were opened, and all the soup was brought to a boil, he manually added the chicken, waiting for the water to heat.
"Sit down, it’ll be ready soon."
Smelling the aroma of coconut chicken, Xu Qianqian felt stuck in her tracks. She silently sat down, not saying a word.
She knew Jiang Nian wouldn’t bring up any issues.
Just like during Chinese New Year, when he called for a meal, it was just a meal. No other matters would be discussed, and she appreciated this.
So she came at ease.
