Chapter 62: I Can’t Take It Anymore!

“Feng Nanshu is really beautiful. Jiang Qin, you hit the jackpot.”

Jiang Qin snapped out of his daze from the beautiful face before him. “Gao Wenhui, you’re quite good-looking yourself.”

“Oh stop it, I know my place. Feng Nanshu and I are in completely different leagues!” Gao Wenhui pouted.

Jiang Qin furrowed his brows, his expression instantly turning serious. “Nonsense, how can a dignified female university student belittle herself like that? I think calling you and Feng Nanshu a pair of beauties is not an exaggeration at all.”

“Really?” Gao Wenhui felt overwhelmingly flattered. She thought, if you’re good with words, say some more.

Jiang Qin nodded with absolute certainty. “Look at the little rich girl, even after so many days of military training, her skin is still glowing white. Calling her jade-like is no mistake at all, right?”

“That’s true. But if you put it that way, then I’m the ‘flower’?”

As soon as Gao Wenhui finished speaking, she immediately sensed something was off.

Isn’t Ruhua the name of the ugly woman from the movie “The Legend of Lü Xiaofeng”?

Although this movie was released in 1994, it has always been hugely popular among university students. Anyone who can’t recite a few classic lines from it is considered outdated.

And ever since this movie became a hit, Ruhua has been synonymous with ugly women. Calling someone Ruhua is clearly an insult. Who doesn’t know that!

Oh, so your Feng Nanshu is jade-like, while I’m that Ruhua?

“Jiang Qin, are you indirectly calling me ugly? I’m never helping Feng Nanshu with relationships again!”

“That’s exactly what I was waiting to hear. Let’s make a deal on that!”

While Gao Wenhui was in a daze, Jiang Qin had already raised his hands and hooked his pinkies with hers. “I’ve already made a pinky promise on your behalf. Whoever teaches the other loses and stays single forever!”

“Isn’t that too vicious?!”

Gao Wenhui was stunned. Her hobby was being a love guru for others. Feng Nanshu was such a pure and innocent subject. Not being allowed to guide her was unbearable!

But Jiang Qin completely ignored her protests, thinking as long as no one taught Feng Nanshu about relationships, all would be well.

Isn’t friendship great?

Why insist on dating?

It’s fine if you teach her about love, but what if she really learns it?

Then one day, she suddenly understands what it means to like someone. She stands in front of you, lively and adorable, gazing at you with innocent, clear eyes, and then timidly confesses to you. Can ordinary people withstand that?

Jiang Qin was very confident in his ambition. Ever since being reborn, he had never forgotten his original aspiration, keeping his mission firmly in mind, unwaveringly walking the path of frantically making money.

But there are always exceptions to everything.

If Feng Nanshu really confessed to him, he really wasn’t sure he could resist. Feng Nanshu was too against the rules – a peerless beauty was one thing, but she was also a well-behaved little rich girl. This truly hit his weak spot.

But Jiang Qin had an inexplicable fear towards love. He didn’t feel his mentality was suitable for loving someone.

So the best method was to not let the little rich girl become too curious about romance.

What was this called?

This was called the wise do not fall into the river of love.

Love hurts the body too much. Only resentful people will repeat the same mistake.

“Little rich girl, walk a bit faster. After I take you around the supermarket, I’m going back to sleep.”

“Coming, coming.”

Feng Nanshu hurriedly responded, jogging over from under the street lamp. Her skirt fluttered, revealing her fair, slender legs, indescribably beautiful under the hazy night.

…

Linchuan University’s campus supermarket was always lively at night, especially from 8 to 10pm. The entire entrance would be packed full of people.

After all, the back door connected to the school’s front plaza. There was an open-air rest area and milk tea bars around, making it a very suitable place to socialize.

The students of Linchuan University always maintained a high level of tacit understanding in this regard. Those who wanted to date went to the front plaza to make friends, those who just started dating went to the sports field to chat about life aspirations, and those in the throes of fiery passion went to the small woods behind the main academic building. In any case, no one interfered with each other.

Although the little rich girl’s social anxiety wasn’t too severe, she would get very nervous in crowded places. So as soon as she entered the supermarket, she followed closely behind Jiang Qin, not leaving his side for a moment.

That exquisite face attracted quite a few university students, eliciting continuous whispers.

“Jiang Qin, I want to eat that.”

“Okay, then let your lifelong best friend buy you a rainbow cotton candy!”

Jiang Qin magnanimously took out two yuan and handed it to the part-time female student behind the counter. The female student looked at him in puzzlement, thinking what was with this guy, clearly bringing such a ridiculously beautiful girl, yet specifically emphasizing their friend status as soon as he spoke.

But Feng Nanshu was quite happy after hearing that. Her beautiful eyes instantly sparkled.

After buying the cotton candy, Jiang Qin led Feng Nanshu out the back door and found a relatively quiet corner in the plaza to sit.

The little rich girl held the cotton candy, licking it in small mouthfuls. Her pink little tongue flashed in and out of her cherry-red lips.

“Jiang Qin, can good friends really be together forever?” Feng Nanshu tilted her head slightly, revealing her clear eyes from behind the cotton candy.

Jiang Qin rubbed his nose, a bit uncertain as he spoke. “They should be able to.”

“Then even when I’m old, I’ll still eat the cotton candy you buy me.” Feng Nanshu couldn’t help but make a promise.

“When you’re old, you won’t like cotton candy anymore.”

Under her resentful gaze, Jiang Qin tore off a strand of cotton candy and put it in his mouth. “But when you’re old, if you still want to eat cotton candy, then give me a call. I’ll immediately wheel myself in my wheelchair to buy it for you!”

After hearing this, Feng Nanshu let out an “oh”, but wasn’t as happy as imagined. “We still won’t be living together when we’re old?”

“Why aren’t you concerned about why I’ll be in a wheelchair when I’m old?”

“Eh??”

Jiang Qin couldn’t help furrowing his brows. “If I’m already in a wheelchair, you’re still thinking about your cotton candy? Feng Nanshu, do you have a conscience at all?”

Feng Nanshu was instantly dumbfounded. “I do have a conscience…”

“Then why aren’t you asking me why I’m in a wheelchair?”

“I… I didn’t react in time.”

“See, love is a scary thing. Never ever fall in love in the future. Because as long as you date, life will be full of these kinds of sudden brain teasers that you can’t guard against!”

A hint of fear flashed through Feng Nanshu’s eyes. “I understand.”

“Good girl.”

Jiang Qin couldn’t help but raise the corner of his mouth, thinking Gao Wenhui, come at me. Let’s see if you’re faster at teaching or I’m faster at dismantling.

“But Wenhui said friends can’t possibly stay close forever. Only by being lovers is there a chance.” Feng Nanshu couldn’t help asking again.

After hearing this, Jiang Qin spat. “Nonsense. The end result for most lovers is that they never see each other again after getting old. Some even become enemies. Together forever? Too sci-fi.”

“Oh.”
