Divorce Revenge System: Knowing the Future in Advance-Chapter 1040 - 730: Lu Bu Reborn (Part 2)

"What time?"

"In the afternoon." Jiang Nian urged, "I'll drive over to pick you up downstairs at your place shortly."

"But... but that's so soon, can't you wait for me to wash my hair?" Zhang Ningzhi hesitated.

"No, it's already afternoon." Jiang Nian said with a straight face, "If we wait for you, it'll be dark by then."

Zhang Ningzhi was unhappy and pouted, staring at him.

"Hmph!"

The two of them stood in a stalemate for a while before Jiang Nian reluctantly gave in, rubbing his forehead with a headache.

"Fine, we'll wait a bit longer."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ningzhi suddenly lit up like the sun rising over the sea, her dissatisfaction disappearing.

"You're so nice, mua!"

"I'm going to take a shower and pick out a nice outfit. I'll call you when I'm ready."

Jiang Nian: "I'll wait for you."

On the other side, Zhang Ningzhi rolled back and forth on the bed. She suddenly stopped and carefully looked at those three words.

Suppressing the urge to scream internally, she covered her face to hide her flushed cheeks and blooming smile.

What should she reply?

She searched her mind for a long time but could only find a fluttering heart, so she pursed her lips and spoke honestly.

"I'm so happy, quack."

.....

Jiang Nian planned to go out in the afternoon. It's okay to schedule with Zhizhi. Girls take a long time to get ready, starting at three hours minimum.

Once she's ready, he'll stall a bit on his end.

Okay, it'll be almost dark by then.

Since she broke the promise first, she won't blame Jiang Nian for breaking his promise. Just bring some flowers and sincerely apologize.

A strategic play.

If Soy Milk can't deliver, take Zhizhi for a spin in the afternoon. Then come back and rest a bit, maybe play some games in the evening.

As for Chen Yunyun and the others, they went out shopping during the day.

No matter how you look at it, there's enough time.

Even if there's not enough, they can improvise. Cancel some plans or just go home to rest.

Grass, why is it so busy?

Jiang Nian thought for a moment and found the root cause. Winning that award made things a bit passive.

Skipping out on Xu Qianqian in the morning at least saved half his life.

The rest...

With a buzzing sound, Cai Xiaoqing finally replied, "At two in the afternoon, see the cherry blossoms at the riverside park."

Seeing this, Jiang Nian immediately stood up.

"Got it."

Soy Milk still delivers!

He glanced at the time; it was already half-past one. Calculating the time, he figured he could make it.

Jiang Nian opened the door and ran into Song Xiyun heading out.

"Where are you going?"

Song Xiyun looked up, recalling what he said in the morning. She reflexively shielded her chest with one hand as if she wasn't dressed.

"To... to pick up a package."

Jiang Nian: "???"

He looked puzzled, staring at her chest.

"Is your chest hurting?"

"No."

"Then why are you blocking—" Jiang Nian stopped mid-sentence, understanding, "Wait, Xiao Song you....."

Song Xiyun stepped back in a panic.

"Don't say anything."

Jiang Nian was bewildered and completely confused. What is this about, is this even Chinese anymore?

He took a deep breath and patiently explained.

"I'm just going out to buy something."

"Oh, okay." Song Xiyun sighed in relief, seemingly convinced, "Then it works out."

The two walked downstairs together, Jiang Nian feeling speechless but also glancing at her, thinking that Xiao Song really is....

Well, not small.

Normally he wouldn't look, but hanging out together often, it's unavoidable that there are awkward moments now and then.

Like bending over, or whatever.

In the courtyard downstairs, Song Xiyun walked the other way, looking back at Jiang Nian as if she had something to say but stopped.

"Well..."

"Hmm?"

Song Xiyun's face was flushed, whispering, "I actually didn't mean it that way earlier, don't misunderstand."

"Hmm."

Jiang Nian was running short on time, so he didn't think too much about it, "Got it, you go and hurry back, it might rain later."

Song Xiyun nodded, watching him leave.

"Okay."

On the other side.

Jiang Nian barely made it to the riverside, already past two o'clock. He sent Cai Xiaoqing a message and received a location pin.

Fully proving the importance of placing wards in the wild.

Vision successfully obtained.

"How's the class rep's mood today?"

"Not good."

"Oh, then you must've ticked her off." Jiang Nian replied, "Hang in there, I'll be there soon."

Cai Xiaoqing: "...."

"Are you even human?" she replied, "I had to put on a thick skin to help arrange this meeting for you."

After a while, she added another message.

"Do you think the class rep has already figured it out? I'm kinda panicking now, good thing Nie Qiqi is also here."

Jiang Nian said, "Stay strong, Soy Milk."

Cai Xiaoqing: "Hehe."

Nanjiang Park, the hometown's cherry blossoms... wait no. The cherry trees along the river are blooming, but there aren't many flowers.

It had just rained in the morning, and the ground was covered in cherry blossoms.

The wind by the riverside was strong, and since it rained in the morning, the park wasn't crowded, just scattered groups of people.

Jiang Nian looked up at the dim overcast sky and exhaled slowly, "Soy Milk is still naive."

"If the class rep really couldn't figure it out, she wouldn't be coming out."

He was about to move when he remembered Li Hua. In the morning, she complained in the group chat about getting muddy after hanging paper decorations.

Hmm.....mud.

Jiang Nian looked at the greenbelt, then down at himself. The ground was wet, exposed yellow mud.

"Still too clean."

With a bang, he emerged from the greenbelt. He looked at his dirty pants and clothes.

"Alright, that's about right."

The cleaning lady was pushing a cart, stared wide-eyed as Jiang Nian walked away, couldn't help but remind him.

"Head home to change quickly, you'll catch cold."

Jiang Nian turned back with a bright smile.

"Will do."

....

Nanjiang Park, on the green path.

Li Qingrong stood beneath a cherry tree, glancing at the damp blossoms, her expression cool and calm.

"Will it rain in the afternoon?"

"It should....." Cai Xiaoqing responded absentmindedly, "It shouldn't rain, right?"

"Wrong, Caicai Zi!" Nie Qiqi jumped in, hands on hips, "I checked the weather forecast!"

Cai Xiaoqing turned, "So will it rain?"

"How should I know?"

"Huh?" She looked at Nie Qiqi speechless, "Didn't you say you checked the weather forecast?"

Nie Qiqi smirked, "I checked it last night, already forgot."

With a thud, Cai Xiaoqing punched her, "You never learn, call me by that nickname again and I'll beat you."

"Waaah!!! Class rep!!" Nie Qiqi wailed, "She... she hit me!!"

Li Qingrong lowered her eyes, still lost in thought.

Suddenly, a voice sounded.

"Well done!"

"Who?" Nie Qiqi yelled angrily, then turned to see a filthy person approaching.

"Ah? A beggar!"

She recognized Jiang Nian instantly but just wanted to shout that to make herself seem vulnerable and taunt him.

Although Jiang Nian might not pick up on it.

"I'm your dad." Jiang Nian approached with a smile, smearing the mud from his hands onto her face.

"Ah!!!" Nie Qiqi jumped up immediately, "Jiang Nian, you bastard!! You filthy beast!"

The last part was something Jiang Nian had cursed her with once, which she picked up to throw back at him.

"Didn't you recognize me?"

Nie Qiqi tilted her head, "Jiang Nian, you now look like a broom with dirt stuck to it."

Jiang Nian: "..."

You damn!

Li Qingrong glanced at him without asking why he was there, looked down, and asked, "What happened?"

Hearing this, a bit of joy sparked in Jiang Nian's heart. Convincing himself playing the victim worked like a charm, he pretended to hesitate before speaking.

"I was across the road and saw you guys from afar. I thought my eyes deceived me and wanted to verify by following."

"Ran too fast and fell."

After speaking, he seemed to realize something, anxiously rubbing his hands together, thenawkwardly said.

"No worries, you guys have fun."

"I just came over to take a look, now that I've seen you. I should be leaving and won't disturb you anymore."

He then stood still.

Li Qingrong's expression didn't change, she was also looking at him.

Suddenly, Nie Qiqi asked in confusion.

"Then why aren't you leaving?"

Nie Qiqi, you f*ck!

Li Qingrong sighed softly and spoke, "Come with us, there's an exit ahead."
