Chapter 175: A Good Friend’s Christmas Eve

As soon as Cao Guangyu shouted the word “roll”, he instantly became like a jammed gun barrel, the words he was about to say were immediately held back.

“That cup was given to you by Ding Xue?”

Jiang Qin glanced at him.

“Who else could it be if not her.”

Cao Guangyu’s mouth twisted badly.

“Hehe, so shameless. Obviously a couple, but still using best friend cups. Trying to avoid responsibility? Scumbag.”

Jiang Qin’s face was righteous and stern as he coldly laughed, then strode into the dorm.

“?”

Cao Guangyu was completely dumbfounded, thinking Jiang was acting weird. The cup clearly said “husband and wife”!

As soon as he entered the dorm, warmth enveloped him.

Ren Ziqiang and Zhou Chao were both there, each lying on their beds reading novels, not knowing what plot point they reached as their whole bodies squirmed.

Ever since Cao Guangyu got a girlfriend and Jiang Qin became busier with work, these two started hanging out together all the time, attending class together, eating together, and lying in the dorm reading novels, living lazily and freely.

Especially after group buying went online, it made them settle into the dorm permanently.

A warm dorm, a warm bed, meals delivered downstairs, lying down to read novels, what could be more enjoyable than this?

Jiang having Feng Nanshu and Cao having Ding Xue was quite enviable.

But at this moment, they felt their lives weren’t bad either, perhaps even better.

“Brother Jiang, Old Cao, where did you get those cups from?”

Seeing them holding the same model thermos cups, Zhou Chao couldn’t help poking his head out from under the covers, his tiny eyes filled with immense curiosity.

“A gift.”

Cao Guangyu said two simple words, more low-key than usual for him.

“Is there a Christmas event going on? Giving out thermos cups, where can we get them, the school supermarket or front square? Old Ren and I will go get one too.”

Zhou Chao had no resistance to free stuff, but who knew Cao Guangyu and Jiang Qin didn’t reply, silently sitting at their desks and turning on their computers at the same time.

Cao turned on his computer to log into QQ and continue his online intimacy with Ding Xue, while Jiang turned his on to chat with Lai Cunqing about work at the University of Science and Technology.

“Young Master Cao, Handsome Cao, Powerful Cao, where are they being given out in the end, will I still make it if I go now?”

Seeing their matching thermos cups, Zhou Chao felt unbearably itchy inside.

Such a cup had to cost at least fifty or sixty yuan each. It would be perfect for taking to class in the winter. He had wanted to buy one for a long time, but with the end of the month approaching and being short on cash, it would be awesome if he could take advantage of the event to get one for free.

Cao Guangyu smiled faintly, lightly uttering five words: “A gift from my girlfriend.”

“…”

Hearing this, Zhou Chao and Ren Ziqiang immediately collapsed onto their beds, staring blankly at the ceiling for a long time, thinking these two jerks were really not human, stabbing daggers into their hearts like this.

The joys and sorrows of mankind were truly worlds apart.

Seeing their expressions, Cao Guangyu felt amazing inside, the two mini figures on his shoulders dancing like crazy.

He still remembered at the beginning of the semester when Jiang Qin said he was going to eat with a girl, flipping the whole dorm upside down. Who would have thought that one day, he, the ordinary Cao, could also see the same scenery as Jiang Qin!

Most importantly, Jiang Qin’s relationship had stagnated, but he and Ding Xue were passionately in love!

Perhaps…

Perhaps one day, he could even overtake Jiang Qin!

Just then, Cao Guangyu suddenly saw Jiang Qin take out a pink and white wallet from his pocket. It was thick, with the corner of a wad of red bills peeking out.

“Jiang, why are you using a pink wallet, are you a sissy?”

“It’s Feng Nanshu’s.”

“?”

“I lied to her that I had no money, so she insisted on providing for me and gave me all her money. I remember refusing, how did it get stuffed back to me?”

Jiang Qin smacked his lips and put the wallet on the table, planning to return it to the little rich girl tomorrow.

Hearing his answer, the corners of Cao Guangyu’s mouth gradually stiffened. He silently turned his head, the light in his eyes vanishing in an instant.

I can’t compare, I really can’t compare.

Jiang Qin’s love life was too outrageous, he didn’t even dare imagine it.

…

The next evening, Christmas Eve, light snow scattered about as dusk gradually darkened.

Jiang Qin sat in the boss’s chair in Room 208, leaning against the radiator. He looked over the orders for 8 PM and found the dorm building with the highest order volume that night.

“C District Building 2, let me see which department it is.”

“Oh, civil engineering, then it’s not surprising.”

“On this night when couples go out to party, only those sunny and cheerful guys from civil engineering are still steadfastly supporting group buying.”

Jiang Qin unscrewed his cup lid. Before drinking, he subconsciously glanced at the five words on the bottom of the cup.

Hubby drink more water.

He found that he had unwittingly developed a bad habit. He had to look before drinking. If he didn’t look, he would feel like something was missing.

“On a perfectly good Christmas Eve, no one is keeping the boss company?”

Jiang Qin finished drinking and looked around the office, finding that all the good people of 208 had gone out to play, leaving the entire office empty.

“Boss, I’ll keep you company!”

As soon as he spoke, a head suddenly popped up from behind the desk.

Jiang Qin turned his head and saw that it was Lu Feiyu, the one who could crush his eyebrows and bend his waist for the sake of power and influence.

“No need, you go have fun too. I’m used to being alone.” Jiang Qin waved for him to leave.

Lu Feiyu remained motionless in his chair: “Boss, I’m not like those heartless people. Don’t worry, I won’t leave you.”

“Can’t find a girlfriend?”

“…”

“Hehe.”

Three minutes later, Lu Feiyu was kicked out of the Entrepreneurship Base by Jiang Qin. As he left, he grumbled, thinking that if he wasn’t allowed to keep him company, then he shouldn’t keep him company. Threatening to cut his salary, what kind of hero does he think he is?

Jiang Qin watched him leave, thinking that Lu was quite filial, but used it at the wrong time.

On Christmas Eve, I should spend it with you, a guy? What would that look like?

He wrapped his clothes tightly and looked up at the sky, finding that snowflakes had fallen at some point, turning the ground white in the blink of an eye.

According to the progression of fairy tales, if a princess appeared in this environment, it really wouldn’t be strange at all.

Jiang Qin exhaled a white mist and didn’t go back because of the cold. Instead, he sat down on the steps.

Before long, Feng Nanshu came strolling through the snowy night. She wore a white down jacket with a ladylike short skirt underneath. Thick black stockings hugged her shapely calves, and a pair of sheepskin boots left footprints in the snow with each step. The snow clung to her long hair, making it lively and irresistible to look at.

“She really does look like a princess…” Jiang Qin stood up, his eyes a little dazed.

Feng Nanshu obediently walked over and put her right hand into his pocket: “Is everyone here?”

“You came at a bad time. There’s no one in the office. They all seem to have gone out to party.” Jiang Qin held her hand in his pocket and kneaded it a couple of times.

Feng Nanshu raised her little face and looked at him with gentle eyes: “Jiang Qin, I want to watch a movie with you.”

“Then let’s go.”

Jiang Qin took her into the Entrepreneurship Base and opened the door to Room 207.

The sofa that originally leaned against the wall had been moved to the middle of the room. In front of it, a TV borrowed from the college was placed on the coffee table. Although it didn’t have any channels, it could be used as an extended screen by connecting it to the computer next to it with an adapter.

Additionally, the small coffee table in front of the sofa was covered with a pile of snacks, and a blanket for warmth was draped over the back of the sofa. Everything was prepared very thoughtfully.

“Holy crap, who understands our hearts so well that they set this up in advance?”

Jiang Qin pretended to be surprised as if seeing it for the first time.

“He must be a good person.”

Feng Nanshu’s eyes shone brightly. Then she raised her two arms, letting Jiang Qin take off her down jacket.

Coincidentally, they were both wearing the best friend outfits they had bought from Wanzhong Mall underneath. They hadn’t planned it in advance, it was pure tacit understanding.

“You go sit on the sofa first.”

“Got it.”

Feng Nanshu sat on the sofa and untied the laces of her boots. Her little feet, wrapped in padded silk stockings, stretched out from the boot shaft and curled up on the sofa.

Jiang Qin waited for her to get ready, locked the door of 207, and turned off the lights. The entire room was only illuminated by the glow of the TV, instantly becoming dim.

“Jiang Qin, what movie are we watching?”

“I picked out a few in advance. See if there are any you like.”

Jiang Qin also sat on the sofa and moved the mouse to open a folder called “Movies to watch with best friends on Christmas Eve.”

Last night while chatting on QQ, the little rich girl said she wanted to watch a movie with him on Christmas Eve, but she didn’t want to go to the cinema. So Jiang Qin spent three hours collecting and downloading various movies.

They were all classic good films that didn’t excessively promote romance, had no nude scenes or passionate plots, were suitable for all ages, and wouldn’t teach the little rich girl anything bad. There were a total of eight films, such as Spirited Away, Hachiko, and The Pursuit of Happyness…

Especially this The Pursuit of Happyness, the male lead starts out divorced, his world crumbling, raising his child alone – the best in the whole film.

Feng Nanshu scooted her little butt forward, fragrantly and softly pressed against Jiang Qin. She leaned her pretty face close to the screen, her beautiful eyes shining incomparably bright in the screen’s glow.

“You pick, here’s the mouse for you.”

Jiang Qin moved his face away from the screen and leaned his back against the sofa. His hand naturally drooped down and suddenly felt a silk-stockinged little foot in the dim environment.

The little rich girl said it tickled, then changed from a half-kneeling, half-sitting position to sitting sideways. Just like last time on that rainy day, she put her leg over, her warm little foot stretching back into his hand.

I am a gentleman.

Jiang Qin chanted “gentleman” in his heart, but rubbed the little foot in his hand with great delight.

“Actually, they all look pretty good. We can just randomly pick one.”

Feng Nanshu pursed her lips and spoke in a gentle tone: “Jiang Qin, what if I want to watch all of them?”

Jiang Qin waved his hand: “Dream on. Eight movies, it would be dawn by the time we finish watching. Let’s just pick one for tonight.”

“Big brother, watch all eight.”

“If you call me big brother again, I might just eat you up!”

Jiang Qin suddenly lifted the little foot in his hand and made a fierce threat that didn’t seem fake.

“…”

“Big brother.”

Feng Nanshu’s eyes seemed to ripple with watery hues.
