Free Web NovelChapter 1333: Chapter 877: Life Is Full of Misunderstandings
Mid-April.
Li Qingrong took some time to meet Jiang Nian. She’s different from Jiang Nian, a genuine academic prodigy.
Her daily schedule is practically filled up. freewebnσvel.cѳm
"The things you study make me dizzy just looking at them," Jiang Nian said with a smile, "Qingqing, you’re really impressive."
"Impressive?"
"Yeah."
"Good to know." Li Qingrong smiled slightly, then quickly concealed it.
"Let’s go eat."
"Alright."
Jiang Nian isn’t great at physics, but he knows Li Qingrong enjoys it. That’s enough, just support her.
Not meeting up is no issue.
He’s pretty busy himself, even catching a movie with Xu Shuang was squeezed into his schedule.
It’s like this at the beginning of a startup; it’ll get better once it’s settled.
"How have you been lately?"
"Busy."
The two chatted about other stuff, casually strolling around. The only bothersome thing was the floating willow fluff.
Suddenly, as they walked down the road, Li Qingrong glanced at someone and asked casually.
"After graduating, do you plan to have kids?"
Jiang Nian: "???"
Why bring that up suddenly? They’re just freshmen, barely into sophomore year. Kids are still far off.
After all, the legal marriage age...
Plus, having kids requires energy and finances. Compared to the average person, it’s not the same level.
"Did your sister ask you to?"
A sister like a mother, Li Lanying, the elite. Her usual demeanor is pretty much that of a single person.
But she still needs family connections.
It’s likely Li Lanying is subtly urging Li Qingrong to find a way to have a kid to play with.
"No, she said the sooner the better." Li Qingrong said, fiddling with her hair, "Easy for you to say."
Hmm?
Qingqing’s indeed become more open, even started complaining about people. She used to not speak or couldn’t be bothered to.
Jiang Nian thought, the sooner the better?
What women say isn’t always true; Li Lanying cares too much about Qingqing to mean that.
"Then let’s wait until graduation. She’s just worried you’ll have kids before finishing university."
"Yeah." Li Qingrong didn’t say much more.
The topic was too heavy, and discussing an unoccurring situation now held no meaning.
Take things one step at a time; things will sort themselves out.
They had lunch and discussed other topics. When Zhenan Middle School was mentioned, Li Qingrong was slightly surprised.
"Handing out love letters?"
"Yeah, students nowadays are more mature," Jiang Nian said, "Unlike us back then, pure as snow."
Li Qingrong: "...."
"Have you ever written a love letter?"
"No."
"Really?" She turned her head and stared into Jiang Nian’s eyes, "Never in senior year, or... never at all?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian was embarrassed. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Why pursue this so fiercely?
"Well... I once, um," he said, "Wrote a love letter when I was young and naive."
"To whom?"
"Tingzi, but I never sent it," Jiang Nian said, "Got caught up in some conflicts and put it on hold."
"Later, there were more clashes, and it fell apart."
"Oh." Li Qingrong seemed indifferent, "So, when you went back to Zhen Nan, did you see her?"
Jiang Nian: "...."
Fuermo had found out.
"No, just happened to bump into her." He raised his hand in a vow, "Exchanged a few words, absolutely innocent."
Li Qingrong gave him a sideways glance, said nothing, then continued ahead before looking back.
"Watch a movie with me."
"Oh, sure."
....
A few days later, Zhizhi called up, "Hmph, why haven’t you contacted me lately?"
"Lately?"
Jiang Nian was puzzled, phone crooked against his ear, eyes still glued to the computer, continuing to work.
"We had hot pot just two weeks ago."
"Bad guy! It’s been ten days!!"
"Let me see." Jiang Nian flipped through the calendar on the table, "Free the day after tomorrow, let’s grab lunch."
"Eating again?" Zhang Ningzhi seemed a bit disappointed, "We’ve almost eaten our way through all of Zhongguan Village."
"Then forget it," Jiang Nian replied without thinking, "You play in your dorm, I’ll play in mine."
"You!!!"
After some back-and-forth, they settled on lunch followed by a visit to a dessert shop. The movie plan didn’t pan out.
After hanging up, the dorm was suddenly quiet.
Their voices had been loud enough for everyone to hear clearly.
"Impressive." Brother Bao Song gave a thumbs up.
"This is terrible, brother, is he even human?" Da Chao was shocked, "It’s kind of wrong, too much."
Jiang Nian glanced at him, offhandedly commented.
"Chao."
"What would you do?"
"Of course... go out, dinner and a movie at the amusement park, full package," Da Chao replied without hesitation.
"What about work?"
"Put it aside or adjust the schedule," he said, "There’s always a way, if it’s urgent..."
"How?"
"Talk it over?" Da Chao said, lacking confidence, "The other party should understand."
Jiang Nian chuckled, stood up and patted his shoulder.
"Young man, keep it up."
Brother Bao Song burst into laughter, said, "Chao, if you rush into a romance like that."
"It’d make even enemies feel at ease seeing you like this."
"Well, at least," Da Chao said, "I have no regrets, unlike Jiang Nian’s half-hearted approach."
"Half-hearted?" Brother Bao Song chuckled, "Even I can tell without having been in a relationship, but you can’t."
"Forget it, don’t want to talk." He turned to another side, "Fanzi, what do you call this?"
Yang Jingfan looked up, "Spice."
Da Chao: "...."
Afternoon.
Jiang Nian finished his work and went back to the apartment to cook. Exhausted but it felt rewarding.
Hmm, worth it.
Xiao Song returned at four in the afternoon, caught the scent of soup as he entered, knowing Jiang Nian was already there.
