Chapter 1353 - 887: Getting Back on Track
"Ah?"
Song Xiyun was confused, "He..."
"Actually, if we were more decisive." Xu Qianqian raised her hand and made a cutting gesture.
"If we leave directly, he would remember forever."
Song Xiyun lowered her gaze for a moment, recalling how last summer holiday she tried to leave but was caught by Jiang Nian.
She sighed inwardly, perhaps that was the last chance.
"Qianqian, we can’t exactly..." She raised her hand and made the same gesture.
"Yeah, if only we’d known not to choose the same school," Xu Qianqian was also speechless, then continued.
After contemplating for a while, she spoke again.
"Forget it, let’s not think about it anymore. You can’t count on anyone; we have to rely on ourselves, we need to have money first."
"Mm-hmm." Song Xiyun nodded vigorously.
Before sleep.
Jiang Nian was responding to messages, and after returning home, his life pace slowed down unexpectedly, making him somewhat unaccustomed.
Aside from sleeping, he didn’t know what to do.
One message was from Li Hua, that damn piece of work. Immersed in romance, he’s only now figuring things out.
"What did you do?"
"Why isn’t anyone on Yao Beibei’s side responding to me? Sending a message, telling me to get lost."
Clearly, Li Hua was treated like a scout.
An innocent disaster.
But, after all, he’s his brother. It’s just karma, a punishment he deserves.
Jiang Nian: "Brother, maybe you accidentally messed something up and angered them?"
Li Hua: "???"
"Chi Shi!!"
"I’m not even in Beijing, how could I irritate them? Are you in Zhen Nan, help me out a bit."
"Doing what?" Jiang Nian replied.
In the next second, a video call came in. A big face filled the entire screen, staring at the camera.
"Damn! Scared your dad to death!"
"Chi Shi!" Li Hua leaned back strategically, "I’m just checking if you’re guilty."
"Why would I be guilty?" Jiang Nian retorted, "What’s up, say it quick, I’m going back to Yuhang in two days."
"So busy?"
"Making money."
"V me fifty, let me see your skill."
"Stop with the nonsense, just say what’s up." Jiang Nian, as a godson, played the role of raising him frugally, impossible to give fifty.
"It’s my mom’s birthday, I can’t go back." Li Hua said, "Help me order a cake, send it over."
Jiang Nian: "???"
"Isn’t it summer holiday now? How come you can’t return? You unfilial child, there’s a long time until school starts, right?"
If this was heard by Li Hongmei, she’d most likely be amused angrily, an unfilial child calling someone else unfilial.
It’s like turning the universe upside down.
"I... I just went to another place to play." Li Hua stammered, eyes darting around.
Jiang Nian realized something, pointing at him.
"Good one, Li Hua!!"
"You, Chi Shi’s, Harbin Institute of Technology’s start is far away, but your school’s start is near, right."
"Forget it, help a brother out." Li Hua folded his hands quickly, then hurriedly hung up the video.
With a buzz, a message arrived.
"Buy whatever you want, I’ll reimburse the bill."
Jiang Nian: "Awesome."
Li Hua: "...."
The other messages were from Yao Beibei. She mentioned what she was doing recently and asked a question.
"What do you plan to do?"
What else can I do, can’t keep lying. Things have reached this point, saying anything is useless now.
"What’s Zhizhi’s idea?" Jiang Nian asked.
"How would I know?" She sent an eye roll, "I can’t mention you too much, Guigui’s position is at stake."
"Not letting you inquire for free." Jiang Nian hinted.
"(Eye roll) Forget it." Yao Beibei replied, "There’s a difference between eating once and eating all the time, I can tell the difference."
Jiang Nian: "..."
The promised "Class Three Five Men" group, each one is so damn realistic. Either doing grad school or flattering rich women.
He put down the phone, sighed. Clicking on Zhizhi’s avatar, not knowing what to say.
"Perhaps this is a process that has to be experienced."
With Chen Yunyun last time, he laid things bare. Suffered for months afterward, but slowly repaired the relationship.
Just goes to show, you win some, you lose some.
....
The next day.
As usual, Jiang Nian met Xu Shuang for breakfast. The latter seemed puzzled, clearly realizing something.
"Why do you only call me in the morning?"
"They can’t wake up." Jiang Nian spoke the truth. People can’t keep lying forever, have to say some truthful things.
Upon hearing this, Xu Shuang was amused to laughter.
"Is that something you should say to a person?"
"Forget it if you’re not eating." Jiang Nian looked indifferent, "Tomorrow I’ll eat alone, heading back to Yuhang."
"Didn’t say not eating." Xu Shuang’s mouth twitched.
She took a sip of soy milk, and asked about another matter, "How about I start preparing to conceive in my junior year?"
"Cough, cough!!"
Jiang Nian nearly choked, looking up at Xu Shuang, "Are you speaking human language?"
Xu Shuang shrugged, looking indifferent.
"I’m not joking, better to have a child early and recover sooner. Getting older and having a child makes one look aged."
"Can you think of something more reliable?"
"I think it’s quite reliable, the pregnancy wouldn’t start until September. Preparing for a year, give birth right after graduating senior year."
Xu Shuang said, spreading her hands.
"What do you think? I can be a backup option, you can always find me to get married."
Jiang Nian was speechless, feeling as if this woman was broken.
"I haven’t offended you lately, have I?"
"Who knows?" Xu Shuang glanced at him, biting the straw, sipping the soy milk noisily.
But then, she didn’t continue.
She knew Jiang Nian’s temperament too well. If he thinks she’s troublesome, he’ll slowly cut her off.
People who are often passionate are also merciless.
Everyone is different, Jiang Nian as a person. He’s burdened with many emotional debts, but he should be full now.
"I’ll see, if I’m free in the evening." Jiang Nian also backed off a bit to prevent Xu Shuang’s explosion.
After speaking, he revised it.
"Not working, how about the end of August?"
