Chapter 70: The Eve Of Meeting In Person
Jiang Ning ate crispy duck.
This was her favorite dish.
“And then? Su Wanyuan didn’t get into trouble either, she’s been going in and out of school every day.”
Xin Yang sighed: “Because Lan Li took Su Wanyuan out to live, she no longer lives at the Gu Family, and that younger sister who’s always by Su Wanyuan’s side, Shen Jinhe from the Capital City Shen Family, because she’s there, Su Wanyuan wasn’t forcibly dragged away by that bastard Huo Chengxuan.”
Jiang Ning was also convinced.
That Super Male really didn’t make sense when doing things.
He could even do something like kidnapping someone in broad daylight; if his family wasn’t really rich, someone like him would’ve died who knows how many times by now.
But this was the tribulation the female lead had to go through, Jiang Ning indicated she was powerless to help.
“Don’t worry, they won’t have any problems.”
Xin Yang thought about it and agreed.
He didn’t mention the matter again.
Jiang Ning, in her spare time, messaged Top Grade, grinning happily.
On the other side.
By the artificial lake pavilion.
Xie Jingyan changed places to eat.
He chatted with Ning Zhaozhao while browsing the fluctuating stock market.
He used the money Jiang Ning gave him to invest a small amount.
Money sitting idle in one place won’t grow; he wanted to be able to pay for his sister’s medical expenses later, so he had to invest.
He Shang was carrying a lunchbox in his hand, and a bag of steamed buns and pickled vegetables.
“Why’d you come here? Jiang Ning didn’t have you serving her tea and water today?”
Xie Jingyan gave him a sidelong glance: “I sneaked away. Why’d you come here too? You’re the young master who was recognized back, yet you eat so poorly.”
He Shang pouted: “Tch, you know what those people from the Zhou Family are like. Me showing up just blocks Zhou Yuchu’s path. Now Zhou Yuchu got himself sent abroad because of his own petty scheming, and his biological mom looks at me like I’m not even human every day, always trying to set rules for me. I’m too lazy to deal with them.”
He sighed, indicating life was not easy.
Xie Jingyan stopped paying attention to him.
He switched the page to his chat with Ning Zhaozhao.
He Shang saw him chatting intently.
Couldn’t help but stretch his head to peek, and saw he had sent a line: [Baby, I’m eating lunch.]
“Holy crap!” He Shang was stunned in place.
Xie Jingyan didn’t expect someone to peep at his chat, looking at him somewhat displeased: “What are you yelling about?”
He Shang licked his lips: “Who’s the baby on your phone? No wonder you’ve been acting so weird lately, always playing with your phone. Turns out you have someone outside.”
Xie Jingyan furrowed his brows, giving him a cold look: “Watch your words.”
He Shang ignored Xie Jingyan’s displeasure, reaching out to hook his shoulder: “Buddy, who is it? Su Wanyuan? Did you two make up?”
Xie Jingyan took a steamed bun he brought, saying unhurriedly: “It’s not her, you don’t know them.”
He Shang was speechless: “Don’t I know everyone around you? You’re not in an online relationship, are you!”
Xie Jingyan’s usually icy face rarely showed some discomfort: “What’s it to you?”
“Is it the one from last time when I said you were being scammed, and you said you wouldn’t stop messaging or she’d be sad?”
A few seconds later, Xie Jingyan admitted: “Mm.”
He Shang took a deep breath.
He gave him a thumbs up: “Big bro, you can’t even keep up with your studies, and you’re doing online dating? Is the other side a heavenly beauty or something? You actually agreed to this.”
He Shang really found it unbelievable.
Xie Jingyan.
From a young age, his temperament was mild, humble and polite, obedient and sensible, always the child others praised.
Such a rule-abiding person, and one day he started an online relationship.
He Shang felt… he really didn’t understand this brother of his enough.
So many pretty younger sisters in real life confessing to him, giving him love letters, and even a childhood sweetheart who always stuck to him, but he rejected them all, just to date online.
He was somewhat at a loss for words: “Have you met them?”
Xie Jingyan shook his head: “Not yet, but in one week, we can meet.”
He Shang: “…What if the other side is extremely ugly? A 300-pound fatty, you go to meet in person and it crashes, how will you run then?”
Xie Jingyan poked at his food: “No problem, a pretty shell isn’t necessarily good. My Zhaozhao has a kind soul, that’s enough.”
He Shang was really grossed out by his cheesiness.
At the same time, he was curious who this deity was that conquered Xie Jingyan online.
He was notoriously hard to get.
“Starting tomorrow is the long holiday, any place you want to go play?” He Shang changed the topic.
Xie Jingyan shook his head: “No, I need to stay home and study.”
And take Ning Zhaozhao to play games.
He didn’t say this out loud.
“I’m full, do as you please.”
“Wait, on the day you go meet in person, can I come along? It’s Saturday, we can come back together on Sunday.”
Xie Jingyan refused without thinking: “I’m going to see my date, what are you going for?”
He Shang said indignantly: “Can’t I go watch you get fed dog food? I’m just curious how the other side enchanted you like this.”
Xie Jingyan thought about it; the other side really hadn’t enchanted him.
He quite liked her voice, especially when she called him Meng Jing.
Sweet and soft, with a coquettish tone, like strawberry-flavored candy; Xie Jingyan wanted to taste it.
Thinking of this, he shook his head; he was really being dirty-minded.
What was he thinking.
Meanwhile, He Shang was determined to go secretly.
He had to witness his brother’s meet-in-person moment.
Keep some evidence, so if he broke up with his online fling later, he could mock him hard!
……
National Day holiday passed quickly.
Jiang Ning ran back and forth between home and her maternal grandparents’ home.
Then every day she stuck to Top Grade on voice chat, the closer the meeting time got, the more guilty Jiang Ning felt.
A bit afraid she’d stand him up and he’d get angry.
So these past few days, she got even stickier with Top Grade.
Every day forcing him to call her Baby, to send hand photos, abdominal muscles photos.
From wanting to see, to wanting to kiss, to finally chatting about wanting to sleep.
Even across the screen, Jiang Ning could feel his shyness.
It was so interesting.
The seven-day holiday flew by.
The day the holiday ended was Wednesday, and they still had two more days of school.
Time quickly reached Saturday.
They had to arrive in the Capital City a day early; the exam was on Sunday.
Plus only about a hundred people advancing from this city, and Jin Cheng to Capital City was at least five hours by highway.
All the schools discussed and simply chartered a big bus to send the students, saving money too.
As for the hotel in the Capital City, the school had already booked it.
Jiang Ning stood at the school entrance, hearing that students from Seventh Middle School and the aristocratic school next door were sharing the bus with them.
Jiang Ning looked eagerly, finally seeing the people from Seventh Middle School arrive.
A total of four, three younger sisters, and one little fatty wearing glasses.
Jiang Ning was petrified in place for a good while.
Where was her Top Grade!
Wasn’t he participating in this competitive mathematics too? Where was he?
Jiang Ning’s gaze turned to that little fatty, seeing his chubby hands; this absolutely wasn’t him!
She walked up and casually chatted with the little fatty: “Is there someone else from your group who hasn’t come?”
The little fatty was stunned, shyly scratching his head: “How’d you know? He got on the wrong bus and went with another group. Are you looking for him?”
Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief; as long as he was here, she’d quietly check him out when she got to the Capital City.
She waved her hand: “Nothing.”
Then she turned and boarded the bus.
Sister Ning’s cover will be blown tomorrow, hahaha, looking forward to Old Xie’s psychological trauma.
