Chapter 1246: Chapter 833: Where to Stay? (Part 2)
"What?" Zhang Ningzhi was surprised, covering her mouth, "The team leader actually... is he short of money?"
"Most likely."
"Oh, I know what to do!" Zhang Ningzhi said, "We can sell accessories while traveling."
"Handmade items with a national style, someone might like them."
"Hmm?" Yao Beibei sat cross-legged on the bed, resting her chin in thought for a moment, "That seems feasible."
"We can also shoot some videos, about the process of making accessories."
"Yes." Zhang Ningzhi thought for a moment, then looked at Yao Beibei, "So, will you appear on camera?"
"No way!" Yao Beibei instinctively refused, despite the possibility of making money from her looks, she felt bashful.
"What about you, Zhizhi?"
"I also..."
At this point, both girls fell silent. They looked at each other, unable to make a decision.
"How about...?" Zhizhi raised her head, "Ask him then?"
On the other side, Jiang Nian received a message from his best deskmate, surprised by their idea.
Selling accessories, hmm...
Not bad.
At least it’s something to do, if it works out that would be great. If not, it’s still a good experience.
He thought about it and replied.
"Use a doll as a substitute, anyway, the focus is on selling accessories. Just consistently have a doll appearing on camera."
"Later on, you can hire people to appear. Keep the doll element, and just try it out initially."
Zhang Ningzhi: "(Cute) Got it."
The next second, she sent a dissatisfied emoji. Staring at Jiang Nian through the screen, she captioned it.
"Why didn’t you tell me about the graduation party!!?"
"Well..." Jiang Nian chuckled, "It was too rushed, I flew back to attend last minute."
Zhang Ningzhi: "Hmph!!!"
"Are you having a graduation party?" Jiang Nian asked, "Remember to tell me in advance, you hosting is like me hosting."
Zhang Ningzhi: "(Left Hum) Not telling you."
Jiang Nian: "Save me some money."
Zhang Ningzhi: "(Angry) (Angry)!! No way, you have to come, I want to secretly meet you."
"Is your mom still wary of me?" Jiang Nian was surprised.
Zhang Ningzhi: "(Blush) (Blush) No, just kidding, hiding makes it more exciting."
Jiang Nian: "..."
He was speechless.
...
"What’s wrong?" Xu Shuang turned around, looking at him nonchalantly, "Did something happen?"
"No, just replied to a message." Jiang Nian said casually, "So, are you starting to take over some of the business now?"
"Yeah, just a bit."
"Rich lady."
"It’s just county-level business, you wouldn’t be interested." Xu Shuang glanced at him, pausing deliberately.
"Would you be?"
"If I wasn’t already doing that apart from looking down on this." Jiang Nian said, "It’s better than selling clothes."
Now he finally understood how, in the simulated timeline, he got involved with Xu Shuang.
Being half-forward in this area.
Actually before the college entrance exams, Jiang Nian vaguely felt that Xu Shuang was overly nice to him.
He just didn’t think much of it at the time, just seeing it as a passing phase. After the exams, he calmed down, estimating there wouldn’t be any follow-up.
After all, people are emotional creatures.
Just takes some time, once the hormones drop. Emotions quickly fade, and people calm down accordingly.
Besides, he knew her black history.
You peed everywhere.
After saying this, Jiang Nian glanced at Xu Shuang out of the corner of his eye. Coincidentally, Xu Shuang also glanced at him out of the corner of her eye.
Their peripheral gazes collided, both feeling awkward.
"Ahem."
"Uh..."
Newbie riddle solver, rookies pecking each other. It’s just right, a good match for each other, making it quite lively.
"When’s dinner?" Zhao Yiqiu stood upstairs, looking at the two wandering in the orchard below.
"I’m hungry."
They both looked up.
"You eat first." Xu Shuang said.
"I’m not hungry." Jiang Nian said.
Zhao Yiqiu felt desperate, naturally couldn’t eat first. Wobbly, she disappeared from the railing.
Jiang Nian found it amusing, looked at Xu Shuang and said, "You must be pretty tired these days."
"Not really tired, just bored." She said, "Qiuqiu... she often can’t help."
"The Taoist priest indeed..." Jiang Nian expressed understanding.
"By the way, did you forget to pack your things when you left?" Xu Shuang suddenly asked, changing the subject.
"What?"
"Come with me." Xu Shuang led him to a small room, then pointed to a corner.
"You’ll know when you look."
Jiang Nian: "???"
He went over and rummaged through, finding things left in the dormitory. Being a day student, and also rushed.
He completely forgot, and by the time he returned everything was empty.
"You collected them?"
"I did, it was a casual thing."
Jiang Nian: "...."
In the afternoon, as he left the teahouse.
He biked home, pondering Xu Shuang’s words. Thinking about the system tasks, he sighed.
The system that stirs things up, with the last three exclusive tasks. Be it hard or easy, why so troublesome.
He felt completely embarrassed.
However, there’s a bit of a clue here. But this clue could easily involve himself.
Jiang Nian shook his head, deciding not to think about it.
Vroom!!
During the red light interval, he checked his phone. Xu Shuang’s message was quite brief.
"I’ve kept your things for you."
"Alright."
"Are you coming back in August?"
"Hard to say." Jiang Nian thought, quickly typed a few words, "Besides, would your grandpa agree?"
"He has no objections."
"Well, let’s talk about it later then." Jiang Nian said, "I’m quite busy on my end, haven’t told you some things."
Xu Shuang: "Okay, talk then."
The light turned to yellow.
Jiang Nian put his phone away and sped off. Wondering how Rich Lady Xu really thinks, it’s hard to say.
Next time, really have to have a serious chat.
....
In the evening, by the high-speed rail station.
"Can we make it?" Xu Qianqian was panting, "I told you we should leave earlier, it’s all Jiang Nian’s fault!"
"How is this my fault?"
"It just is!"
"There’s still twenty minutes." Song Xiyun was also panting, "It will definitely be enough, just hitting the mark."
"Let’s go, let’s go." Jiang Nian pulled the two girls, "One’s more anxious than the other, if we miss it, we can just reschedule."
"That would be a two-hour wait." Xu Qianqian said.
The three of them entered the waiting hall, waited for ten minutes. Then they started passing through the turnstiles, heading to the platform to wait for the train.
The high-speed train approached slowly and came to a halt.
"Which car?"
"Didn’t you just check earlier?" Song Xiyun turned, glanced at Jiang Nian, "Already forgot?"
"Well..." Jiang Nian was a bit embarrassed, scratched his face and said, "Selective memory, can’t help it."
Even the school genius can’t remember, nothing can be done.
The three of them sat in a row, directly in ABC seats. Xu Qianqian liked the window seat, Jiang Nian had to move the luggage so he sat on the outside.
Song Xiyun sat in the middle, like the filling in a sandwich.
Jiang Nian moved the luggage onto the rack one by one. It wasn’t tiring, and the train’s air conditioning was sufficiently low.
"Do you want a piece of clothing to cover with?"
"Yes."
"Me too."
With a snap, two jackets were thrown down.
"Why is it yours?" Xu Qianqian was a bit disdainful, but she still covered herself with it, "Ugh!"
"Mine’s easy to take."
Song Xiyun had no issue, covering herself and started playing on her phone.
Right, changed phones.
Jiang Nian leaned closer, "The signal is bad, what are you playing?"
"Casual games." Song Xiyun pursed her lips, looking at Jiang Nian who was close by, she remembered the kiss at dawn.
Her cheeks warmed, unconsciously leaning back.
"Okay." He didn’t mind, turned his head and went to sleep, "Call me when it’s time to get off."
The journey went smoothly, they arrived at Yuhang at ten thirty.
Zhao Qiuxue came to the station to pick them up, directly taking Song Xiyun away, intending to take Xu Qianqian with them too.
Xu Qianqian had the sense to refuse, "No need, we won’t disturb Aunt Zhao’s reunion with you."
Zhao Qiuxue glanced at Jiang Nian, "Alright, we’ll go first."
Xu Qianqian watched them leave, couldn’t help but sigh softly. She turned to look at Jiang Nian and asked.
"Where are we staying?"
"Wherever I stay, you stay." Jiang Nian replied.
