"Are you going to make it yourself?" Xiao Song asked curiously, glancing at the bag he was holding.
"If they sold it outside, I’d be too lazy to make it." he replied.
Qianqian pursed her lips and glanced at him out of the corner of her eye. He had already entered the kitchen, and soon there were some sounds coming from it.
Forget it, I won’t be angry with him today.
Jiang Nian didn’t think too much about it either. Showing off his skills was a long-term consideration, mainly for the happiness of these few days. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
A promising young man indeed.
Thus, a few days passed peacefully. The three of them living in the apartment became more naturally harmonious.
As long as it’s not blatant, it can run like a relay smoothly.
At the same time, it’s worth mentioning that. Qianqian and her friends had already made a decision, ready to make some small attempts.
They didn’t plan to sell clothes, setting their sights on cultural and creative products.
They wanted to start a small journaling shop and attract fans from scratch. However, neither of them had any experience and were still hesitating.
The influence of one’s environment is indeed important.
However, Qianqian’s personality. Even if Jiang Nian did nothing, she would find her own way.
Xiao Song... typically agreeable.
Just ask, and she’d say, "Sure."
She didn’t have many firm opinions but knew how to make a decision. She knew who was reliable and just followed along.
In the blink of an eye, the new semester began.
Jiang Nian hadn’t even thought about checking his grades over the winter break; he only found out he hadn’t failed any subjects when school was about to start.
He barely scraped through all his subjects.
"You didn’t fail anything?" Da Chao in the dormitory was incredulous; he had failed a math class.
Always boasting, but exams showed his true colors.
"Yeah."
"You didn’t pass?" Brother Bao Song glanced back at Da Chao, "Just barely getting by is still passing."
Da Chao: "...."
This winter break for Jiang Nian was busy yet short, and he experienced unprecedented joy.
It was fun, but it wasn’t going to last.
On the first day of school, he greeted Xu Shuang, explaining that he didn’t have time to accompany her for her runs that week.
This woman really is...
Not going with her wasn’t quite right since he used her car, even if Zhao Yiqiu drove it most of the time.
If he did go, she’d run ten kilometers.
"No time?" Xu Shuang glanced at Jiang Nian, "Can’t keep up, or do you have other plans?"
Jiang Nian was a bit embarrassed; he did have other plans.
"Yeah."
"With Li Qingrong?"
"Not her, she’s usually busy." Jiang Nian couldn’t help but smile after he said this.
There’s no point in hiding it; she knew something was up. But telling the truth sounded even worse.
After all, they had been involved; he couldn’t just deny it.
"You’re such a player." Xu Shuang teased.
Jiang Nian: "....Yes."
"Make some time for me this weekend," Xu Shuang thought for a moment, "An hour and a half, is that okay?"
Jiang Nian thought for a moment and agreed.
"How about the morning?"
Xu Shuang: "...."
"Okay."
"Alright, then..." Jiang Nian suddenly remembered something, "Actually, I’m not quite sure about something."
"What?"
"During the Chinese New Year, you asked me to go to your place. I met your parents, now we’re meeting again." freeweɓnøvel.com
Jiang Nian hesitated slightly, casting his eyes slightly downward to look at her.
"I didn’t intend to hide anything from you back then, and even now, I can’t hide it. But I’m just wondering what exactly you are thinking."
"I want to date someone." Xu Shuang said, pursing her lips, "I won’t take up too much of your time, besides, I’d like to..."
"Have a child."
"Cough, cough, cough!!!" Jiang Nian almost choked on his own saliva, "Did you just say you want to have what?"
"A child." Xu Shuang made up her mind, saying straightforwardly, "I won’t need you to take care of it, you won’t lose out."
Jiang Nian: "...."
Is this something you lose from?
"What are you thinking?"
"Nothing much, just thought..." Xu Shuang said, "This is quite good, staying true to the original intention."
Your original intention?
My god.
"If I were to compete for you, I wouldn’t win against Li Qingrong." She said, "Besides, it’s probably not just her with you."
"If I really think about it, there’s nothing good about getting married."
Jiang Nian: "...."
He had originally wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, her words were actually reasonable, and who knows what the future holds.
"Don’t think too far ahead, let’s just get through the weekend and make those small cakes first."
"True." Xu Shuang nodded, then as if she remembered something, she reminded Jiang Nian of something.
"By the way, don’t forget about the thing I mentioned last time."
"Got it." Jiang Nian nodded, recalling it, "By the way, your brother is at the Beijing Institute of Technology, right?"
"Yes, as long as you remember." Xu Shuang was about to leave, giving a flying kiss, "See you this weekend."
.....
Physical Institute.
Jiang Nian was waiting downstairs, it had been a while since he had met with Li Qingrong, she really was busy when she got busy.
Looking up, he glanced at the leafless branches.
Spring should be arriving soon.
Some things come naturally, yet there’s a risk of them overflowing, and he’s just trying to keep it under control.
Li Qingrong: "I’m here, wait for me for a few minutes."
"Okay."
After replying, he casually scrolled through his social media circle. Foolish Li Hua was showing off his love life again.
Jiang Nian thought, the social media circle is not comprehensive enough. If there was a dislike button alongside the like button, it would be better.
He had just given a like when Li Hua’s message arrived.
"Jealous?"
"Jealous of you liking married women?" Jiang Nian sent a sneering emoji, "Remember Qianbao?"
"Chi Shi!"
Li Hua naturally didn’t admit and deftly changed the topic, "Why aren’t you showing off your happiness when you’re so carefree?"
"Feeling guilty?"
Jiang Nian replied, "Isn’t that nonsense."
"Sigh, Nian." Li Hua typed, "If you ask me, can’t you just settle down and pick one?"
"Just shut up!" Jiang Nian thought to himself that his happiness and helplessness couldn’t be understood by people from Chi Shi.
A few minutes later, Li Qingrong came down.
She wore a long coat, her temperament had become even more reserved and quiet, even more so than during high school, she spoke even less now.
However, Jiang Nian had his ways.
"Did you cut your hair?"
"No."
"Then is it a change of clothes, let me see what’s different." Jiang Nian looked around as he said this.
Li Qingrong was a little upset when he pinched her face.
"Don’t pinch."
"Oh, oh, there’s nothing different." he said, "I just saw you weren’t smiling, and I thought you weren’t happy."
Hearing this, Li Qingrong gave him a quick look.
"Why didn’t you come find me during the holidays?"
"It’s only been a few days since Chinese New Year, I flew to Yuhang." Jiang Nian said, "Besides, you were busy these past few days."
"Okay." Li Qingrong nodded.
Though she said so, she still pinched Jiang Nian a couple of times before walking out with him.
Just after the semester started, they went to have a meal together.
The two of them were quite familiar with the route, finding a shop they frequented. After eating, they strolled around a bit.
"Qingqing, did your sister say anything during Chinese New Year?"
"No." Li Qingrong glanced at him, "She just said that in the summer vacation, I’ll take you to Sanya."
"Really?"
"I’m not going, it’s too much trouble." Li Qingrong shook her head and asked, "What, are you disappointed?"
"No, how could I be?" Jiang Nian said awkwardly, "Qingqing, is that how you see me?"
"Yes."
"It’s really hurtful."
"She asked me when I plan to get married." Li Qingrong suddenly said, making the atmosphere go quiet instantly.
Jiang Nian turned to look at Li Qingrong.
"What did you say?"
"Haven’t thought about it." Li Qingrong’s voice was cool and emotionless, "We’ll see later."
"Do you want to know what I think?"
"Yes, I do."
"Let some time pass, gain a bit of confidence." Jiang Nian said, "After all, I have to give you a home someday."
"Alright."
For others, this might seem early. But mentioning it would surely matter, but...Li Qingrong really didn’t seem to care.
"Let’s walk over there." she suggested.
"Sure."
Jiang Nian’s mood was somewhat heavy, as if there was a big snowball rolling in his hand, nearly out of control.
The situation in Yuhang needed to be accelerated.
If there ever came a day he couldn’t hold on, at least he wouldn’t be shackled by money and could provide some security.
Otherwise, he’d see himself as too much of a failure.
The weekend arrived quickly.
Jiang Nian first went to find Xu Shuang, initially thinking that the activities were just playing around with baking in the shop.
Who would’ve thought...
"Huh?" Zhao Yiqiu peeked in.
