Divorce Revenge System: Knowing the Future in Advance

Until late at night, the two walked on the street, chatting casually about recent events.

Most of what Jiang Nian talked about was work-related, occasionally sprinkled with updates on their former classmates.

"Old Liu has gained a lot of face now, I heard he’s about to become a director, and he’s got quite the gift of gab now."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingrong’s lips curved into a smile.

"Did you go back to school?"

"Yeah, to see Old Liu," Jiang Nian said. "I asked him if he remembered you, and he actually said he didn’t."

"If you ask me, Old Liu has forgotten his roots."

Li Qingrong listened to Jiang Nian’s outrageous "ququ," yet the smile on her lips never faded.

"Who else did you see?"

"Who?" Jiang Nian’s eyelid twitched slightly.

"Didn’t visit the biology teacher?" Li Qingrong glanced at him, "Weren’t you two quite close?"

"Unfortunately, I lost contact," Jiang Nian puffed out his chest, speaking honestly, "It’s summer vacation, and the person isn’t here."

"Hmm." Li Qingrong nodded.

This made Jiang Nian feel a bit guilty; but... he really didn’t do anything, so why feel guilty?

Done too many guilty things, even when you didn’t do something, it feels like you did.

Jiang Nian sent Li Qingrong home, seeing that a certain window was lit, he didn’t bother to go up to greet Li Lanying.

"Bye-bye, Qingqing."

"Where are you going?" Li Qingrong looked at him.

Jiang Nian thought the class monitor was asking about his lodging. After all, the school didn’t allow staying over now, so he planned to go to Xu Shuang’s place.

Xu Shuang and Daozhang were still in Zhen Nan.

Coincidentally, the house was empty, and since he already informed them, staying a few days wouldn’t be an issue.

"To a hotel, you go up."

"Not coming up to sit for a bit?" Li Qingrong lowered her eyes.

Jiang Nian was stunned, originally planning to ask if Li Lanying wasn’t home, but swallowed the words back.

"Sure."

After going upstairs, Li Lanying was indeed not there. Before leaving, she didn’t turn off the bedroom light, obviously having forgotten.

A cunning woman, a lifelong rival.

At night, Jiang Nian experienced a long-lost feeling again. Put in some effort, but it was a rare comfort.

Especially seeing the class monitor’s cool expression. From her glowing white skin, to the bloom of peach blossoms.

It was a unique sense of achievement.

As long as, at one moment, Li Qingrong’s hands reached for his shoulders, Jiang Nian knew to adjust the rhythm.

Clear-headed yet drowning, not sure how many times he blanked out.

"You go wash first." Li Qingrong pursed her lips around a strand of hair, brushing it back behind her ear.

"I don’t have... the strength yet, I’ll head over later."

Jiang Nian stared at her lips moving, thinking to himself how strong Qingqing’s contrast was, then walked over to pick her up.

"Let’s go together."

Just now calm and collected, Li Qingrong surprisingly felt a surge of unplaceable shame rising from her heart.

"Then don’t look."

Jiang Nian: "???"

Haven’t I seen enough already?

After washing up, the two lay in bed. The air conditioner blowing steadily, the room was dark after turning off the light.

Li Qingrong’s eyelids were fighting to stay open, yet her whole body felt at ease.

"Do you miss me?"

"I do."

"I mean regularly."

"I do." Jiang Nian said, "Sometimes I feel quite lucky, being able to be with you, Qingqing."

"Hmm." Li Qingrong closed her eyes.

She had a dream, a torrential rain. From the bus stop it poured, the water converging.

Jiang Nian handed her an umbrella, yet didn’t care who she was.

The details of the dream were so real, Li Qingrong even felt it was reality, reaching out her hand.

With a slap, she woke up.

She stared at the dim room, glanced at Jiang Nian again. Her heart beating slowly, she hugged Jiang Nian’s arm tightly.

Because Jiang Nian didn’t care who that person was.

But she couldn’t not care.

However, there was no need to mention it again. In perspective of a lifetime, life is just a few short decades, she didn’t want much.

.....

Jiang Nian woke up early, originally wanting to get up to make breakfast. But since the class monitor was holding his arm, he had to stay still.

From 7:30, until 10:30.

Li Qingrong slowly woke up, looked at Jiang Nian. The two faced each other, the atmosphere a bit awkward.

"You..."

"Your hand." Jiang Nian pointed to his arm.

"Hmm." Li Qingrong looked nonchalant, let go of his arm, her facial expression unchanged.

"You put it in yourself."

Jiang Nian: "???"

Qingqing has also been led astray, is that still human speech, can I shove my hand under her blanket in the middle of the night?

Sure enough, being near ink makes you black.

Since Li Lanying wouldn’t be back for a while, Jiang Nian simply spent a few days with Li Qingrong in a two-person world.

Eating together, walking, bathing, sleeping. For the two of them, it was a rare little vacation.

Until, it was time to report in for the start of classes.

Jiang Nian returned to school, stopped by the dormitory to see Da Chao. Only to find he wasn’t there, just saw Brother Bao Song.

"Grandpa Bao Song is here?"

"Yeah, Beijing is quite lively." He stretched out his arms and legs, "Just got off the plane, my urine turned yellow."

Jiang Nian laughed, asked.

"Where’s Da Chao?"

"Out playing with the senior, I think." Brother Bao Song said, "He’s also something, finding a senior to hang out with."

"When graduation season comes, he’ll have a hard time."

"Doesn’t matter, isn’t Da Chao a rich second generation?" Jiang Nian said, "After graduation, he’ll show his prowess."

"Not much use." Brother Bao Song waved his hand, but said no more, "By the way, did Deng Yi find you?"

"No, why would she?"

"Oh, nothing then, that’s good. Just feeling there’s no need for really good friends to..."

"Indeed."

Jiang Nian didn’t fail any subjects in his first year, and Deng Yi helped a lot. He always wanted to return the favor, but hadn’t found the opportunity.

"Anyway, I’ll handle it later."

For him, it was a small interlude. As soon as things piled up, he’d throw the troubles aside.

He drove from the airport and picked up Chen Yunyun and another girl, went for a meal, and then sent them back to Beijing Institute of Technology.

Throughout the way, Jiang Nian was casual in conversation.

Chen Yunyun seemed normal, not showing any worries. During chatting, there was no sense of distance.

Only then did he let out a breath, thinking to himself he finally passed the test.

"Jiang Nian, is your company very successful?" Wang Yuhe suddenly asked.

"No, just looks that way." Jiang Nian said, "In another year, I’m planning to sell and leave."

"Huh?" Even Chen Yunyun was shocked, turning to look at Jiang Nian, "Why sell it?"

"Limited prospects, it’s almost reached its peak." Jiang Nian stated the truth, "To push further is very difficult."

"As the saying goes, rowing against the current, not advancing is retreating. With so many eyes watching, it’ll be even harder to do this in the future."

"Then...then what?" Chen Yunyun was stunned.

"No big deal, just sell it when it can’t go on." Jiang Nian sighed, "Better to exit early, leave with dignity."

Wang Yuhe blinked, feeling something was amiss.

"Will you become a pauper?"

"Hard to say, business is risky." Jiang Nian said, "If I run out of money, I’ll sell you."

"Ugh! No way!" Wang Yuhe retorted angrily, "Sell you to our town, make breakfast all day!"

Speaking of the town’s breakfast, Jiang Nian was reminded again of that vertical line.

Ah, wine and lust misguided me for long.

Jiang Nian’s lamenting did have some effect. Chen Yunyun softly comforted him.

Basically, advising him not to pressure himself, Yunyun.

He agreed verbally, but thought in his mind about how to ditch Wang Yuhe and take Yunyun out.

Mmh...

Buying a house was imminent.

Soon, he could pick a spot on the map. Not having enough money wouldn’t be a problem for now, just needed to set a target.

At the start of classes, it was already early September.

The people familiar to Jiang Nian gradually returned to school. Beijing was a circle, but the relationships changed.

Xu Qianqian and Xiao Song would occasionally message Jiang Nian. But a dinner invitation failed, the two girls didn’t agree.

Damn, amusement parks are okay.

Dinner is not!

No reply from Zhizhi either. Meanwhile, Li Hua Chi Shi started making his move.

On the weekend, at the duplex.

Zhang Ningzhi lay on the sofa, listening to the phone. Li Hua spoke very sincerely, and she couldn’t help but frown.

"If he goes, I won’t."
