Chapter 2101: Chapter 2302: He Cooked Noodles for Me in the Kitchen!!!
As long as that thin layer of paper is pierced, their relationship will be confirmed, and he will definitely be the first to tell Hao Jian. But this layer of paper hasn’t been pierced yet, and it was actually seen by Hao Jian. Being seen by Hao Jian made him feel a little awkward, like being caught doing something wrong.
At that moment, he felt quite guilty, but after seeing Hao Jian’s mischievous smile, his mood suddenly brightened.
At this moment, listening to Hao Jian urging him to quickly reply to Li Yaqin and not delay, he knew that Hao Jian sincerely wanted the best for him. Otherwise, staying with him while texting others would surely make him upset, but instead, Hao Jian wasn’t angry and encouraged him to reply. The genuine feelings here were naturally felt.
When they reached a corner in the street, Hao Jian suddenly patted his shoulder, meaningfully saying, "Alright, let’s part here. Get ready for tomorrow’s date with the girl."
Lin Dongyang heard this, nodded, and said, "Okay, Brother Hao."
Hao Jian continued, "Remember! A man, a real man, should take the initiative. Don’t wait for the girl to make the first move. When you meet someone you like, quickly speak your mind. Don’t let the girl wait too long or leave, or you’ll end up crying."
With that, Hao Jian turned and walked away with large strides, quickly disappearing around the street corner. Lin Dongyang stood there in a daze, reflecting on Hao Jian’s words, with a determined look appearing on his face.
Perhaps, as Brother Hao said, there are indeed things a man should do, and they should be done sooner rather than later, before it becomes too late.
In that moment, after hearing Hao Jian’s words, he seemed to have an epiphany, understanding and figuring out some things. There are things that must be seized quickly when the time is right, and people whom you must cherish when you meet them. Otherwise, when they’re gone, crying won’t help.
He gazed at the street where Hao Jian disappeared, smiled, and silently said, "Thank you, Brother Hao," and then walked away quietly.
......
When Hao Jian returned home, Liang Xiaohan was still lying in bed sleeping. Who knows what she did all day; she was asleep when he went out and still asleep when he returned. Hao Jian glanced at her closed door with a resigned eye roll.
He lay down on the sofa, knowing that Zhang Danlin would come over tomorrow to discuss the class outing. This was why he had Baldy postpone the meeting to the next evening. She should arrive around noon, and hopefully, everything will be settled by the afternoon, leaving the evening free.
These days have been tightly scheduled, with one thing after another, luckily without any clashes; otherwise, he would have ended up with a splitting headache. Now with each thing orderly laid in front of him, he can manage them one by one.
Currently, the flames with the Axe Gang have already been ignited, and the situation needs to be smoothed out quickly. Otherwise, if Long San and his men take advantage of the situation when Baldy’s fire hasn’t fully fanned and retaliate while stakes are even, the consequences would be unimaginable.
After this matter is settled, there’s still the issue with Gu Peng. The saying goes, if people don’t antagonize me, I won’t antagonize them; if they do, I return in kind. The conflict between Gu Peng and him is already clear, so by next Friday, Gu Peng needs to learn that there’s always someone stronger.
He must regret antagonizing him.
There are also three other matters: Liang Yuwei will come next weekend, and no matter what, time must be made to accompany her, as they haven’t seen each other for a while and he needs to spend quality time with her.
The other two matters are assigned by Li Weiwei: one is the campus basketball game, and the other is the class outing the weekend after next.
Regarding the campus basketball game, Hao Jian has decided not to recruit participants. The last game with Class 5 created enough buzz. There’s no need to waste energy on organizing it again, training and all that. The match with Class 5 already made a significant impact, showing that Class 3 isn’t lacking in strength but chooses to focus on academics rather than waste time on such things.
He also subtly inquired about Li Weiwei’s stance, learning that she just wanted the class to engage in some campus activities to enhance cohesion and enrich extracurricular life. Clearly, the match with Class 5 already showcased Class 3’s cohesion.
As for extracurricular activities, there’s a class outing soon, so she knows it would be a bit tiring for Hao Jian to handle both. Thus, after Hao Jian discussed it with Li Weiwei, she agreed they wouldn’t participate in the basketball game, suggesting he focus on preparing the class outing instead, so Class 3 isn’t participating in the basketball game.
With that, there’s no need to stress over the campus basketball game any longer. The only task now is organizing the class outing, set for the Ancient Town. It requires careful planning. However, with Zhang Danlin’s help, it should ease the load considerably.
However, since she’s helping, he can’t possibly hand everything over to her. There are things Hao Jian still needs to handle personally. Taking advantage of this time, he sat on the sofa and started researching the Ancient Town on his phone to prepare for discussing plans with Zhang Danlin tomorrow.
With a sudden squeal, Liang Xiaohan’s bedroom door suddenly opened.
"Hao Jian, I’m hungry, make me something to eat," Xiaohai suddenly said.
Hao Jian was looking at some information on his phone, helplessly glanced at her, and then replied, "It’s almost dinner time, there’s still some stuff in the fridge, go get yourself something to fill your stomach first, we can go out for dinner later."
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Xiaohai was unhappy, walked right up to him and snatched his phone away. Hao Jian wanted to grab the phone back, but she glared at him, and he immediately withdrew his hand.
"I want to eat your noodles now, and make sure to add spring onions, it’s fragrant." Xiaohai said with a lingering look on her face.
Hao Jian said helplessly, "If you eat now, you won’t be able to eat dinner later."
Xiaohai rolled her eyes and said, "Are you going to do it or not? If not, I’ll complain to my cousin when she visits next week!"
"Alright, alright..." Hao Jian didn’t even let Xiaohai finish her sentence, he directly interrupted her, "Alright, wait a moment, it’ll be ready soon."
He was truly at a loss, he wanted to do some research on the Ancient Town, but he didn’t expect this girl to be so troublesome. Every time she brought up Liang Yuwei, it became a big deal, so Hao Jian simply agreed to stop her antics.
So, Hao Jian got up and started making noodles for her. Ever since the last time she ate his noodles, she always bugged him to make them for her. Luckily, they still had some noodles and spring onions at home, otherwise, he’d have to make a special trip downstairs to buy them, which would be a real headache.
Before long, Hao Jian was busy in the kitchen.
Meanwhile, Xiaohai was going through Hao Jian’s phone, trying to find some clues about whether he had done something wrong to her cousin recently. But Hao Jian was focused on making noodles and didn’t pay attention to these things.
"Ding," a message suddenly came through on the phone.
Xiaohai, still holding Hao Jian’s phone and browsing, immediately saw the name Zhang Danlin pop up. Zhang Danlin had sent Hao Jian a message.
"What time are you free tomorrow? I want to discuss the class outing with you." - Zhang Danlin.
Xiaohai had no prejudice against Zhang Danlin, but seeing her message now, and knowing that Hao Jian had been looking up Ancient Town guides earlier, she realized the class outing was to the Ancient Town, organized by Hao Jian and Zhang Danlin.
So, she got upset right away, directly deleted the message. She didn’t reply, but she also couldn’t let Hao Jian see it. Just ignore it, let him not reply, and frustrate him.
Then she tossed the phone aside and went back to her room. When she came out again and saw Hao Jian busy in the kitchen, she seemed to think of something.
She picked up Hao Jian’s phone from the sofa again, unlocked it, and snapped a photo of Hao Jian busy cooking noodles in the kitchen.
She then proceeded to send it to Zhang Danlin.
Zhang Danlin was apparently waiting for Hao Jian’s message. Seeing it come through, she was overjoyed and immediately opened it, but upon seeing the message content, her expression changed.
A picture of Hao Jian cooking noodles in the kitchen, along with a line of text, "I’m hungry, Hao Jian is cooking noodles for me."
Seeing this, Zhang Danlin was furious. It was obvious that this was not sent by Hao Jian. No need to guess, it was definitely sent by Xiaohai.
Not to mention why Hao Jian’s phone was with Xiaohai, but now it was already evening, and why was Xiaohai at Hao Jian’s place, and he was cooking noodles for her? What was going on here?
She was confused, envious, jealous, and simultaneously unhappy.
Girls can be terrifying when they get jealous.
