Chapter 1302: Chapter 861: Cai Xiang (2)
Not interested in real-world stuff anymore?
Well, he’s already used to it. No matter how extraordinary, it can’t surpass the committee member Tao Ran, who’s obsessed with Furui.
"Yeah." Jiang Nian nodded. "Anyway, we can talk more when you get home. Everyone has their own ambitions; mainly, it’s up to your grandpa’s opinion."
"My grandpa..."
Xu Shuang sighed, "Being with you, he definitely won’t be happy, always worrying about this and that."
Jiang Nian slowed down, gave her a glance.
"An old person at home is like having a treasure. You still have to listen to the elders; if you don’t listen to their advice..."
Upon hearing this, Xu Shuang angrily bumped into him.
"What are you talking about?"
She wasn’t doing all this because she wanted to listen to the elders; she simply didn’t bother to deal with Jiang Nian.
After sending Xu Shuang back to the dormitory, Jiang Nian returned to go to the Physics Department, waited downstairs for about ten minutes.
After a while, Li Qingrong came downstairs with her bag.
Jiang Nian leaned in and took a look, "Is that your sister’s work bag given to you just like that?"
"Yeah."
"Wow, real rich woman, huh." Jiang Nian marveled for a couple of sentences, "How long do you guys still have for finals?"
"Three days, I guess," Li Qingrong said.
The courses in the Physics Department are quite tough, almost all included in the exam week, so holidays naturally come later.
"Is your class having a dinner party?"
"No dinners."
Indeed, this bunch, who consider department-issued hoodies as daily wear, could you expect them to organize a dinner party?
Jiang Nian didn’t hesitate at all, said plainly, "Okay, I’ll wait for you to finish your exams."
"Aren’t you busy?"
"Busy, yeah, but no matter how busy, you have to rest," he said, "Being with you counts as rest."
Li Qingrong gave Jiang Nian another look upon hearing this.
"Alright."
Can Qingqing believe the sweet talk?
He didn’t know.
But... the class president certainly won’t dislike sweet talk, after Jiang Nian says it, he really can follow through.
Li Qingrong still had exams in the afternoon, so they couldn’t go far. They simply settled for a meal at the canteen.
In the afternoon, he took the time to drive to Beijing Institute of Technology.
Zhang Ningzhi and others were having exams; Jiang Nian just passed by. Then he took photos and sent them to his good desk mate.
After Chen Yunyun and the others finished their exams, Jiang Nian acted as the driver, sent the two girls to the airport to fly back to Zhen Nan.
Why not stay at school for a few more days?
Just say, hahaha.
"Going home!! Going home!!" Wang Yuhe excitedly, "No need to live in the shabby school dorms anymore!"
"You sit still in the passenger seat, stop moving around." Jiang Nian was a bit speechless, reminded her.
The back seat carried one person, Chen Yunyun’s roommate. The back seat couldn’t fit, and luggage wasn’t suitable for the passenger seat.
Wang Yuhe wasn’t familiar with that girl, a typical elementary school student. Only knows to be arrogant within, so simply sat in the passenger seat.
"Hmmph! Got it!"
Drool, geez." Jiang Nian couldn’t hold it, wiped his right cheek, "How old are you, still drooling?"
"Didn’t drool, just got too angry just now!"
"Only old people drool from the corners." Jiang Nian continued teasing, "Want to check yourself out?"
Wang Yuhe was fuming but couldn’t say anything. After all, Jiang Nian was the driver, couldn’t interfere with his driving.
"You you!!"
Going around in circles, could only feel frustrated.
Jiang Nian felt great, ending the year with a bang. Still managed to tease Wang Yuhe, this year ended well!
As for other matters, just making the best of a bad situation.
Endure hardships to be successful. Flirting with rich girls and top beauties is not that simple.
In the back seat, Chen Yunyun stared out the window in a daze. Jiang Nian drove steadily, didn’t feel nauseous.
In a blink, half a year passed.
Half a year in university, passed in a blur. Every day attending classes, adapting to the unfamiliar environment.
From Zhen Nan to Beijing, the relationship drifted apart. After starting university, far less close than high school.
"Yunyun." Jin Qiweng prodded her, "Your friend, does he go to the same school, or just passing by?"
"Yeah, he said so." Chen Yunyun snapped back.
Jin Qiweng: "???"
If Beijing Institute of Technology, shortened as Beijing University is it? Rounding that up, they certainly are schoolmates then.
However, Beijing University isn’t that rare. Whose classmates don’t have someone from Qingbei? But students driving is quite rare.
Jin Qiweng: "Local?"
"From the same place." Chen Yunyun said.
"Oh." Jin Qiweng felt Jiang Nian was somewhat mysterious, quickly switched topics, talking about other plans.
She looks decent, personality’s good too, after military training. Priority in choosing partners, quickly got into a relationship.
This is quite rare.
Normally, in university, attractive girls are basically taken, or at least reserved.
Playing around in first year, hesitating in second year, by third year breaking ties, deciding between grad school or job.
Still talking about love?
According to Li Hua, finding a university partner is hard. Besides objective reasons, Jiang Nian and his mother’s full responsibility.
Complete scoundrel, monopolizes six or seven.
......
"Do you pass by our school entrance this afternoon?"
On the return journey, only Jiang Nian was in the car. The phone on speaker, Zhang Ningzhi’s voice crisp.
"Yeah."
"Hmmph!"
"Why didn’t you come in, I was out after exams!!" The best desk mate was always huffing.
"Sent someone, just happened to pass by."
He murmured vaguely, immediately changed topic, "When will you finish exams, have a meal together?"
"Will you cook?" Zhang Ningzhi spoke excitedly.
Jiang Nian: "...."
Cooking, almost a synonym for something else, but in some way, it’s a good thing.
"Possible, I guess." Jiang Nian thought for a moment, "Depends on your timing, I’m leaving in a few days."
"Going to Yuhang?"
"Yeah."
"Oh, alright then." Zhang Ningzhi said, "Is tomorrow okay, my mom’s coming over in a few days."
"Accompany you for New Year’s?"
"Yes."
"What about Mr. Zhang then?"
"Ah! Don’t call my dad that!" Zhang Ningzhi acted playful, "He’s busy, only comes over for New Year’s Eve."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian felt stressed.
Stop it, stop it!
Damn, Old Zhang’s luck. Buddies all modeling like this, still not as lucky.
"Is your dad making a lot of money recently?"
"Hmm... not..." Zhang Ningzhi was a bit guilty, "No, not as good as before."
"You’re lying!"
"No." Zhang Ningzhi was awkward, "You’re pretty awesome yourself though, definitely stronger than me."
Jiang Nian: "...."
Damn, feeling sad.
There’s Mr. Zhang, then Xu Shuang. Above, there’s Li Lanying, each a dragon across the river.
Not to mention, the future Xu Qianqian.
None are simple.
Jiang Nian set the time with Zhang Ningzhi and hung up the phone. Meanwhile, Li Qingrong finished her exams too.
Only a few remained in Beijing now.
The night fell.
Jiang Nian and Li Qingrong had a meal, long-awaited met the clear-browed Cai Xiaoqing.
"Long time no see, Cai Xiang."
Cai Xiaoqing: "..."
Actually, Li Qingrong kept in touch quite frequently. Occasionally when both were free, they’d meet for a meal.
The friendship pieces, Cai Xiaoqing built up.
"Long time no see." Cai Xiaoqing didn’t feel joyful about reuniting, only a bland speechlessness.
"Graduated for so long, don’t shout that..."
"Used to it." Jiang Nian chuckled, pulled out a chair to sit, "Didn’t you become class president or something?"
"Secretary of the Communist Youth League." She said a bit embarrassed.
Jiang Nian tutted, giggled, "How come you went to university and are still a second fiddle?"
Cai Xiaoqing: "...."
She couldn’t take Jiang Nian anymore, turned to Li Qingrong, using eye signals to plead for help.
"She’s planning to take the civil servant exam." Li Qingrong said, "That’s why she chose Youth League secretary, to gain some experience."
"The civil service exam, huh." Jiang Nian gave her a second glance, "That’s pretty good, still have time for that."
Honestly, Cai Xiang is quite suitable for the system.
"Nie Qiqi then?"
"She went home, seems to be because of Yao Beibei." Cai Xiaoqing said, "Helping her out with something like that."
