Divorce Revenge System: Knowing the Future in Advance-Chapter 1128 - 774: Yu Yourong’s Thank-You Gift (2)
Xu Shuang sat beside her, supporting her head as she played on her phone.
"Qiuqiu."
"What's up, boss?"
"Nothing much."
Xu Shuang shook her head, clicking in and out of a screen. She thought for a moment and @ everyone in the group chat: Have you gotten home?
After a long while, Jiang Nian chimed in.
"I'm home."
Xu Shuang clicked into private chat, and after a minute, sent a message. "What do you think of the food today?"
Jiang Nian: "(Thumbs up) The shrimp was delicious."
Xu Shuang looked up and glanced at Zhao Yiqiu, who was peeling shrimp, and couldn't help but ponder, nodding her head.
"Qiuqiu, can I ask you something?"
"Hmm?"
"What kind of food do you generally like?" Xu Shuang asked, adding, "The kind you keep in the fridge."
"Food?" Zhao Yiqiu glanced at the lobster, "Dumplings, preferably those shrimp dumplings."
"For chilled items, soda."
Xu Shuang noted each one down, nodding, "Anything else, a bit more, it might not be enough."
"Enough?"
Zhao Yiqiu looked confused, wondering if they were clearing out a fridge for her, "No need."
"Haha, I eat anything."
"Really?" Xu Shuang frowned, "Eating everything makes shopping quite troublesome."
.....
"Ah-choo!!"
"Damn, who is talking about me behind my back?" Jiang Nian rubbed his nose, looking up at the third-floor building.
"Alas, back to solving problems."
Surprisingly, Li Qingrong messaged him.
"Where are you?"
Jiang Nian: "In the classroom, what's up?"
Li Qingrong: "OK."
Jiang Nian: "???
Li Qingrong: "I'll come over later, no one's at home. The TV is broken; I want to hang out with you."
Jiang Nian leaned back tactically, holding his phone farther away.
"Sister Ying?"
Li Qingrong: "(Confused) How did you know?"
Jiang Nian: "....Only you like watching TV, Qingqing never watches it, she just sleeps during breaks."
Li Lanying: "Alright."
A video call popped up after a while. Upon connection, it showed Li Qingrong, fresh from washing her hair.
Her hair was half dry, half wet, resting on her shoulders over a blue absorbent sweater.
"Qingqing?"
"Yes, it's me." Li Qingrong looked at the screen, her tone cold, "What did she just message you?"
"Nothing!" Li Lanying's voice called out loudly from off-screen, "Quick, come shopping with me."
Jiang Nian: "..."
"She said....." Jiang Nian repeated her words, adding a reminder, "Dry your hair."
"Okay." Li Qingrong nodded.
After speaking, she lowered her eyes hesitantly for a while, "The TV isn't broken, but there's one thing she didn't say incorrectly."
"What is it?"
"I want to hang out with you."
After chatting for a while, the call ended; she had things to do in the afternoon. Jiang Nian also knew the class president wouldn't come to school.
In this last month, really...
The afternoon passed by.
As the sunset spilled into the classroom, Yao Beibei hugged her books and entered. Seeing Jiang Nian, she paused.
"Did you do homework all afternoon?" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
"Yeah."
"Seriously, are you human?" Yao Beibei looked elsewhere, her tone faintly hinting at gritting teeth.
Actually, Jiang Nian's state wasn't ideal all afternoon. Seeing Yao Beibei's gritted teeth, he instantly sensed something familiar.
Sweet satisfaction!!
At that moment, the hard work of problem-solving all afternoon seemed worthwhile. Even the inner restlessness eased considerably.
"By the way, why did you come first?" Jiang Nian asked curiously, "Where's Zhizhi, didn't you come together?"
"I slept all afternoon today, so I didn't look for her." Yao Beibei said, and yawned.
"Do you do this every day, aren't you tired?"
In response, Jiang Nian asked.
"Am I?"
Yao Beibei was speechless, as if laboring on a site. She met a study champ, questioning her own weakness.
Jiang Nian, your face really makes me disgusted!!
Can't you relax a bit and be more like Lu?
She thought for a bit, opened her phone, and said to Jiang Nian, "Which style do you like, I'll gift you something."
"What?"
He was confused, leaned closer, glanced at her screen, "Whoa, Huang Beibei being a simp! You broken-hearted goose!"
"Hehe." Huang Beibei rolled her eyes, "Give me your chemistry paper to copy, I'll treat you to Sprite in the afternoon."
"Sure."
Jiang Nian agreed, and while searching for the paper, suddenly remembered something, "Huang Beibei, can I ask you something?"
"What?"
"How much will it cost to make you call someone 'mom'?"
"Hmm?" Yao Beibei couldn't believe her ears, thinking she heard wrong, "Are you a pervert?"
Jiang Nian: "..."
"It's not for me, it's to call... well." After fiddling for a bit, he finally explained the request.
Initially, he thought Yao Beibei would refuse.
However, she agreed.
"Though I wonder if you're messing with me, or have a special fetish, if you're treating me for dinner."
"Hmm, it's okay."
Jiang Nian raised his eyebrows, thinking he scored. Didn't expect it to be so easy, thought it needed more begging.
But then, calling isn't a big deal.
"Tomorrow noon, I'll schedule something with Zhizhi." Although Jiang Nian wasn't interested in the reward, he couldn't ignore the task.
He was stuck at that step, it had to be completed one by one.
....
Evening self-study, a weekly Chinese test.
Old Liu walked into the classroom with a thick brown notebook in his hand, did a turn around the room.
"Ahem, taking a moment of your time."
"Ah, let's discuss a few things."
Though he said not to stop writing, Jiang Nian stopped early. After listening for a bit, he found Old Liu mentioning graduation photos.
"Ah, these graduation photos are tentatively scheduled for Thursday. If the photographer is late, we'll do Friday."
"Everyone should wear summer school uniforms, black pants below. Those without, borrow from others."
Upon hearing they had to wear uniforms, many students collectively complained.
"Eh?"
"Teacher, can we wear class apparel?"
Old Liu dismissed that idea, reasoning that some students might have lost theirs or simply didn't have class apparel.
After all, with classes advancing, lowering, and switching, school uniforms are universal.
No class apparel.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian turned to look at Zhang Ningzhi, "Do you have any thoughts about class apparel?"
Zhang Ningzhi glared at him, muttering dislike.
"We moved up a class."
"Yeah, really miss those days," Jiang Nian said, "You played in your class, I played in mine."
Zhang Ningzhi: "...."
Grumbling, this is like not knowing each other.
"Alright, continue with the test," Old Liu waved, stopping the noise and did another round.
Seeing many had finished, he picked a few for a chat in the office.
Jiang Nian didn't escape, was taken along. Among the group, he saw someone he rarely sees.
"You finished too?"
Yu Zhiyi wanted to sigh, but more was speechless, "Didn't finish, got caught looking in the mirror."
"Haha."
"You're laughing at me!"
"Just laughing."
Sun Zhicheng walked ahead of the two, hearing the murmuring behind, got a bit irritated.
Yu Zhiyi is so shallow, only looking at faces?
In the office, the group gathered in a half-circle. Old Liu began by praising Jiang Nian.
"I remember Jiang Nian scored 130 in the second mock exam for Chinese, which correlates with how fast he solves problems."
He thought Jiang Nian might score above 700, feeling better, overlooking everyone's quirks.
"The rest of you, ah, should learn well from Jiang Nian..."
While speaking, Old Liu casually pointed at someone familiar, "Yu Zhiyi, get a chair for Jiang Nian."
Yu Zhiyi was stunned, thinking it was him?
Having no choice, he got up to move a chair, turning to see Jiang Nian smiling slyly.
He even took out his phone, snapped a photo.
Yu Zhiyi: "...."
After the group dispersed, Jiang Nian was about to leave when he was pulled aside, pointing towards the restroom.
"Hmm?"
"Come with me for a bit."
"For what?"
"Thanks, I'll give you something," Yu Zhiyi finished speaking softly before quickly leaving from the first floor.
Jiang Nian was puzzled, gifting him something.
Hmm...
What kind of small gift fits in a coat pocket, surely it's not cash, better not send a little!
Consultation fees and such things.
