Chapter 1254: Chapter 837: The Curvilinear Pragmatist (2)
"Aren’t I taking you for a ride?" Jiang Nian scoffed, "Didn’t even charge you for the fare, and you’re still not satisfied?"
"Alright." Yu Zhiyi’s chest heaved, as if something had overcome something else, "Then we’re even."
With that, Jiang Nian didn’t say anything else.
"Indeed."
Yu Zhiyi played with her phone for a while, but couldn’t hold back any longer. If she dragged on, they would soon reach the temple.
Not touching the leg, are you going to touch up there?
This...
Though she was a firm believer in science, she still had some sense of awe and didn’t dare act recklessly.
"No, no, you should touch it now."
Jiang Nian: "???"
He was driving, thinking about the plans for the afternoon. He estimated that by evening, they’d be heading back to Zhen Nan.
"What did you say?"
"Touching the leg, aren’t you..." Yu Zhiyi finished, feeling a bit embarrassed, "Don’t like it anymore?"
"That was for interest before." Jiang Nian was speechless, "We may not even meet again in the future, yet you’re still playing games."
"By the way, I’ve got something for you."
"What?" Yu Zhiyi was dumbfounded, but saw that the car had stopped, and he handed over a small gold coin.
"Just a keepsake." Jiang Nian had casually bought the small gold coin in Yuhang, noticing it wasn’t expensive.
It was estimated to be around three or four thousand.
Yu Zhiyi was completely puzzled but understood it was compensation. But it didn’t really affect anything that he hadn’t held to his word.
"No need, I didn’t lose anything waiting at home."
"And..."
As she spoke, she remembered what Zhou Yuting once said, finally realizing what was off.
[He’s a good person, lacks determination. So he won’t hurt others, but he will forget.]
This clearly was a parting gift, perhaps the last time they would meet.
"I don’t want it!!" Yu Zhiyi trembled all over, placing the gold coin aside, "Take it back."
.....
"Okay."
Jiang Nian didn’t insist and said nothing else, "Damn, just thinking about going to college in the north."
"Having to run to the water room just to wash up, it feels uncomfortable. You’re alright, staying in the south."
"South?" Yu Zhiyi, who was initially a bit sad, looked up at his words, "I’m going to Beijing too."
"Hmm?" Jiang Nian glanced at her, "Didn’t you ask me last month what good universities there are in the south?"
"Just asking." Yu Zhiyi rolled her eyes, "If I don’t get accepted, I need a backup."
"And then?"
"Didn’t get into Capital University of Economics and Business, got into Beihua University as a second choice," Yu Zhiyi said, "I’m doomed!!"
"I wanted to study a humanities major, I hate calculations the most."
"Study well and work in a factory?" Jiang Nian chuckled.
"I don’t know, anyway I’ll just muddle through for now." She sighed, "Later things can be worried about later."
As she spoke, she realized, "You thought I applied elsewhere, so you came to say goodbye?"
"You’re overthinking it." Jiang Nian said.
That was true, he did feel a bit guilty after gaining some advantages and indeed killing time over the past two months.
"How come you only applied to universities in Beijing with your score?"
"I...wanted to, can’t I?"
"Not worth it," he said, "If you want to study finance management, apply to a provincial university, it’s pretty good."
Yu Zhiyi said, "Can’t make it, the score line is higher than a 211, besides, you’re going to Beijing."
"A little loss is fine, the university reputation in Beijing shines bright."
Indeed, whenever you say xx, no one knows.
Even rural old ladies, without watching the news, know the first two characters in the university name.
Beijing!
"Also." Jiang Nian nodded.
Hearing this, Yu Zhiyi let out a long sigh of relief.
"You never ask carefully, really. Luckily, it’s a misunderstanding, or I wouldn’t know how to handle it."
"Handle what?" Jiang Nian asked.
"Of course it’s..."
Yu Zhiyi hesitated, "Otherwise, why do you think I’d go to a place so far away to study?"
"Oh~~what is it?"
"You!! You! Terrible!!" Yu Zhiyi said in shame and anger, took a deep breath, "Forget it, it’s like playing the lute to a cow."
Jiang Nian was indifferent, watching as they approached the destination. More vehicles appeared ahead, pedestrians occasionally showed up along the roadside.
He simply slowed down, his other hand casually moved to the right, landing somewhere with precision.
Yu Zhiyi sat upright in the passenger seat, her long white legs tucked together, leaning towards Jiang Nian.
The curves of her chest exaggerated after waist-tucking, flowing into another exaggerated curve, her two ample buttocks.
But Jiang Nian just touched the leg.
"Here we are."
Yu Zhiyi: "...."
This dog of a man was too realistic, changed faces too quickly. But upon thinking about it, she was suddenly somewhat thankful.
Luckily, it was just a misunderstanding.
Before getting out of the car, Jiang Nian picked up the gold coin from the car.
"Since you don’t want it..."
"I do!!" Yu Zhiyi snatched it over, clenching it tightly in her hand, "If I don’t take it, you’re sure to give it to someone else."
"Not likely." Jiang Nian got out of the car, slammed the door shut with a bang, "At most, sell it for cash."
"You!!!"
The ancient temple was just like that, the stone roads were quiet. The massive Buddha statue looked down, overlooking the kneeling girl in front of the main hall.
Pilgrims mingled, praying sincerely. Jiang Nian stood outside the hall, after a while, Yu Zhiyi came back.
"Why don’t you go in and pray?"
"Not in the mood." Jiang Nian didn’t admit that he’d been too busy staring at her posterior, "It’s enough that you prayed."
Practicality in this aspect.
"Indeed, since my wish is also related to you." She pursed her lips, "Aren’t you curious?"
"Not curious." Jiang Nian turned to leave, "Let’s go, or we’ll miss lunch."
Yu Zhiyi: "...."
On the way back.
She sat in the passenger seat, voluntarily leaning her legs over, happily chatting until they approached the small town.
At the bridge, Yu Zhiyi suddenly said.
"Stop here."
Jiang Nian was puzzled, but he slowly stepped on the brakes. Once the car came to a complete stop, he glanced at her.
"Are you planning to jump into the river?"
"You’re jumping in!!" Yu Zhiyi clenched her teeth, "Get out, I’ll take you to a good place."
Jiang Nian: "???"
On that end of the town, crossing the bridge led to fields. The cement road meandered through the mountains, with a few scattered residences.
They walked to a place behind a large tree, hidden by abandoned houses.
"The last time I took a walk and reached here, a couple of middle school students suddenly emerged from behind, startled me."
"And then?"
"And then I knew..." Yu Zhiyi pulled him inside, leaning close to his ear, "There’s no one here."
Saying so, she grabbed his hand upwards.
Click.
....
"What do you want to eat?" The bun shop lady yawned, it was midday, most of the buns were sold.
"Two steamed buns, a glass of soy milk." Jiang Nian didn’t bother going for a proper meal, planning to grab something on the roadside to fill up.
Compared to the leftover buns from the morning, he naturally chose freshly cooked steamed buns.
He wasn’t very hungry now, planning to drive straight to Yunmu Town after a while. To visit Chen Yunyun, then find Wang Yuhe.
Give out some gifts, and this trip would be worth it.
Without much conversation.
By the time Jiang Nian arrived at Yunmu Town, it was just half-past twelve. He quickly bit into the freshly cooked steamed bun.
Rushing off the car, he sent a message to Chen Yunyun.
"I’m at your town."
Chen Yunyun: "Huh?"
"But I’m not home." She replied, "I’m over at Yuhe’s, why did you come?"
"No problem, I’ll drive directly over," Jiang Nian replied, "Came back yesterday, brought you guys some presents."
Chen Yunyun: "Staying the night?"
"No." Jiang Nian thought for a moment before typing, "Heading back in a couple of days, see you in Yuhang."
"Alright, come on over." replied Chen Yunyun.
It was a bit of a fruitless run.
Luckily, Yunmu Town and Wang Yuhe’s house were on a straight line. Half an hour’s drive inside, they pretty much arrived.
Just as he spotted the building below, he saw the two girls waiting by the roadside.
With a bang, he closed the car door.
"Why did you both come down?"
"Just finished eating, came down for a walk." Chen Yunyun said, "Since we had free time, might as well wait here."
"Did you bring gifts?" Wang Yuhe’s eyes widened, "Is it food, or clothes?"
Jiang Nian said, "Not for you."
