Chapter 173: I Miss You

With the manager and assistant manager chosen, the preparations at University of Science and Technology officially began. Lai Cunqing and Ding Qiaona divided the work, one responsible for online, the other offline, both showing full enthusiasm.

Also, Jiang Qin specially arranged a position for Guo Zihang, letting him be Ding Qiaona’s assistant in charge of coordinating delivery routes.

Coordination work could train one’s communication skills and the last step of delivery involved the dorm aunties, so Guo Zihang should shine in this position.

“There seems to be a particularly delicious roast rabbit shop nearby.”

After leaving University of Science and Technology, Su Nai suddenly pointed at the pedestrian street across the road.

She was a junior student and had many old friends at University of Science and Technology. She had been there many times before and had fond memories of that roast rabbit shop’s taste.

“So cruel?”

Jiang Qin frowned, displeased.

Su Nai couldn’t help but glance at him, thinking the boss unexpectedly has such a merciful heart.

“Let’s go take a look. If we can save half a rabbit then save half, whether cumin or spicy flavor, at least it counts as half a life.”

“??????”

Jiang Qin was moved by his own kindness, tears uncontrollably flowing from his mouth.

As an excellent programmer, Su Nai was left dazed by this illogical statement. She finally understood the boss wanted to eat half a rabbit.

Half a life? Already halved, how is that still a life?

But before Jiang Qin could turn the car around, he received a QQ message from Feng Nanshu on his phone.

At first he thought he misread the content. Frowning, he reread it and found it word for word. He couldn’t help but click on the profile picture to check. Confirming it was Feng Nanshu, his expression gradually turned solemn.

Was the account hacked?

No, Feng Nanshu doesn’t play games. She has pitifully few friends and wouldn’t carelessly log into random websites. The chances of being hacked should be very low.

Su Nai couldn’t help but lean over, “Boss, why aren’t we going? There are still rabbits waiting for us to save!”

“I thought about it. Although rabbits are cute, if I save this half I can’t save that half. I only have one stomach so forget it, leave them all for Yuan people.”

Finishing his words, Jiang Qin turned the car around and headed towards Linchuan University.

I miss you.

Whether meeting in person or chatting on QQ, Feng Nanshu had never said these four words.

Suddenly sending this today, did something happen?

Jiang Qin was a bit worried about the little rich girl’s state. He stayed silent the entire way. Upon arriving at the entrepreneurship base, Su Nai and the others were shooed off the car, still dazed, thinking the rabbits vanished? At least save half!

“These next few days, Wenhao and Lanlan go to University of Science and Technology more to supervise. That team is in charge of promotion for the first time and lacks experience. I’m not at ease, especially with the warm-up activities and opening day delivery. Be present if you can.”

Jiang Qin lowered the car window halfway and instructed Dong Wenhao and Wei Lanlan.

“Okay boss.”

The two exchanged glances and responded in unison.

“But remember, authority is still delegated to Lai Cunqing and Ding Qiaona. Let them handle it. Don’t interfere too much if you can help it.”

“Understood.”

After Jiang Qin finished, he turned and drove towards the School of Finance female dorms. But as soon as the car stopped, another QQ message from Feng Nanshu arrived.

Driving from University of Science and Technology to Linchuan University only took a few minutes so consecutive messages weren’t strange, but the message content tasted extremely odd.

“Big brother, why aren’t you talking? I miss you, come coax me.”

“?”

“Nanshu, I think of you every moment.”

“???”

“Big brother, little sister wants you to hold hands and wants to kiss you.”

“????”

“Big brother, why aren’t you talking?”

“Fuck, it’s you Gao Wenhui right?”

Jiang Qin suddenly realized and was so angry he wanted to laugh. His fingers pressed hard, nearly crushing the keys. Luckily this was a Nokia that could crack walnuts. Other phones might not have withstood it.

After the message was sent, the other side indeed paused for a few seconds but then sent back a long sentence, tone soft but stubborn.

“I’m not Gao Wenhui. I’m your Feng. I’ve been missing you all day, tossing and turning thinking of you.”

Jiang Qin instantly replied, “Two cups of milk tea, one slice of cake, two oranges, total 20 yuan. Rounding up, give me 100.”

“What things?” The other side was a bit dazed.

“I was busy outside half the day and only ate this much. You made me vomit it all!”

“Jiang Qin, what do you mean? Fuck, I went to great lengths to snatch Feng Nanshu’s phone. Respect me a bit okay?”

In the School of Finance female dorms, Gao Wenhui was exasperated, thinking her transcendent acting skills should have ignited their fierce flames of love. How was she seen through with one glance?

The longing was real. It wasn’t the first time they called each other big brother and little sister. Where exactly did it go wrong?

Was my acting not realistic?

“Wenhui, what did Jiang Qin say?”

Feng Nanshu looked at her vigilantly, very uneasy about her actions.

“He said he misses little sister too and will be right back to find you. Anyway the situation is going great. Don’t be anxious, I’ll hit him with a stronger dose!”

Gao Wenhui lay on the bed typing, “Big brother, don’t you want to touch little sister’s feet?”

Jiang Qin sent a smiley face, “Stop acting. I’m completely unmoved. You little groupie, know a life was cruelly lost at your hands?”

“What life?”

“Not important. What’s your motive?”

Gao Wenhui felt a bit hard to back down and could only start telling the truth, “Even if I was pretending just now, Nanshu missing you is real. She’s super obedient. Take her with you next time you go out.”

Jiang Qin took a deep breath, “Hurry and give the phone back to the little rich girl. I’ll pick you as Linchuan campus belle next year.”

“I don’t want to be campus belle. Can you come over? I made a guarantee to Feng Nanshu, saying if I made a move I could hook up Buddha himself. If you don’t come I can’t deliver!”

“Begging me?”

“Please, give little Gao some face.”

“Fine, I’m heading right back. But someone is definitely in for it!”

Gao Wenhui returned the phone to Feng Nanshu, raising a confident smile, “It’s settled. He said he’ll be here to find you in a bit. I said I could do it. There’s no man I can’t get.”

The little rich girl took the phone and glanced at the chat log, “Wenhui, it seems he’s coming to spank me.”

“Impossible. He definitely wouldn’t bear to.” Gao Wenhui spoke with certainty.

Feng Nanshu looked at her, “Then come down with me. I’ll treat you to something tasty.”

“I… I won’t go down. My legs hurt.” Gao Wenhui waved her hands repeatedly, insincerely rubbing her calves.

“Wenhui, you’re a bad person.”

Finishing her words, Feng Nanshu started changing clothes to go downstairs and wait for him early. But before she exited the building she saw Jiang Qin. Pouting her pink cheeks, lashes trembling, she decided to play cute to get by.

Jiang Qin actually really wanted to pretend to be angry and solemnly tell the little rich girl this could give someone a heart attack. Even a tough guy couldn’t withstand it. No more next time.

Gao Wenhui was a terrorist. A phone in her hands was more powerful than a bomb.

But seeing the little rich girl’s little face, Jiang Qin couldn’t get angry at all. He could only bang on the trash can twice.

“Let’s go for a walk.”

“?”

Feng Nanshu pitter-pattered to keep up, “Jiang Qin, you’re not mad?”

“I am, so punishing you to accompany me for a bit.” Jiang Qin led her towards Academy Road.

“Then I dare do it again.” Feng Nanshu suddenly turned bold.

Jiang Qin’s face darkened, “No, you should know, I didn’t even get to eat roast rabbit. Don’t give your phone to Gao Wenhui again. She’s not a good person. Everything she sends violates rules.”

Feng Nanshu pursed her little mouth, “It worked, that’s what matters. Wenhui really got you here.”

Jiang Qin spoke disdainfully, “I came because I happened to pass by. You really thought her Thirty-Six Stratagems of Love… Friendship worked? Trusting her is worse than trusting Guang!”

“…”

“Jiang Qin, hold hands.”

Jiang Qin knew the little rich girl would pull this. He struggled with various excuses but still held her hand after she called “big brother”.

It was like this every time. Made it seem he was just waiting for her to say big brother. Jiang Qin felt next time he simply shouldn’t struggle and directly hold hands.

How much concrete was left in his heart?

The two held hands and walked forward, talking as they gradually arrived on Academy Road.

Because it was close to Christmas Eve, little stalls selling apples started appearing on the roadside. Plump red apples were displayed on tables beside colorful gift boxes, attracting many passing young couples.

The Academy Supermarket was even more impressive than these little stalls, directly bringing in a Christmas tree.

Although the day hadn’t arrived and lights and stockings weren’t hung yet, the festive atmosphere was more or less present.

Jiang Qin had no great interest in this foreign holiday but still led Feng Nanshu inside and greeted Jiang Zhihua who was sorting goods.

“President Jiang, as you instructed, the Christmas goods have been prepared and are all on that shelf in the back.”

“Any users pre-order online?”

“Most have been pre-ordered.”

“I’ll take a look.” Jiang Qin held Feng Nanshu’s hand and walked over.

Jiang Zhihua couldn’t help but stare at Feng Nanshu, “Only a scam master like Boss Jiang could trick such a girl.”

“What did you say?”

“I didn’t say anything. Oh right, a couple’s mug has been very popular recently. Want to take a look?”

Jiang Zhihua’s words triggered a keyword, making Jiang Qin and Feng Nanshu’s gazes shift over. They saw two thermos mugs taken out, one blue and white, one pink and white.

Christmas had started trending these two years. Besides giving apples, all sorts of novel gifts had a market.

Because no matter the holiday, as long as it wasn’t Qingming, it could relate to romance. So daily necessities in pairs like this were most popular.

“Jiang Qin.”

“Hm?”

“Let’s buy best friend mugs.”

Feng Nanshu looked at him with clear eyes.
