Chapter Index

    Having dinner with Hong Yan was something agreed upon yesterday. Because no matter as a friend or entrusted by someone else, after knowing she wanted to transfer departments, he should ask about it regardless.

    Also, the matter of a fixed office location still wasn’t resolved. Jiang Qin also intended to stroll around the school vicinity to see if there were any suitable shops to rent.

    Linchuan University’s East Campus and Main Campus weren’t very close to each other. The closest location to both sides was South Street.

    This was another commercial street besides the pedestrian street. All the shops on the street were rented out. Finding an office location here would be very convenient for both the technical team at the main campus and the content team at the East Campus.

    But precisely because it was next to the university town, the rent here was very expensive, and not many people wanted to transfer. It could only be said to try their luck.

    At dusk, the sky gradually darkened.

    The brilliant glow of the clouds stretched for thousands of miles, seeming to burn through half the long sky.

    Feng Nanshu followed behind Jiang Qin, stepping in a pair of black heeled leather shoes, tapping along behind him.

    The little rich girl’s skin was white as frost and snow, her figure tall and slender, her waist thin. Matched with a black long skirt fluttering in the wind and the red belt as an embellishment, her entire being exuded a mature aura.

    But who could have imagined that she was actually just a soft and cute girl who liked to whine to Jiang Qin and loved to eat?

    “Sit here for a bit, I’ll go order. Don’t wander off.”

    “Jiang Qin, I want to eat crayfish.”

    “Why do you love eating these colorful things?”

    Feng Nanshu wrinkled her delicate nose slightly, then smoothed her skirt and sat upright, her gaze icy and empty.

    The boys along the way couldn’t help but be attracted by her, but didn’t dare to look directly because of her cold state.

    Black itself looked dignified, and the red embellishment was like a flash of allure. With her expressionless exquisite features, the pressuring feeling directly hit you in the face.

    This state of hers was very similar to her high school days. Mindless, mouthless, expressionless. Being mistaken for an aloof goddess really wasn’t a problem at all.

    While Jiang Qin was ordering, Hong Yan had also come from the East Campus to South Street.

    She wore a plaid skirt today, paired with white sneakers, full of student vibes, her whole body emanating a youthful sweetness.

    “Jiang Qin, I’m here.”

    “I’m here too, at table seven of Food is Heaven.”

    “Okay, I’ll head over first.”

    After putting away her phone, Hong Yan exhaled lightly, looked at the brightly lit open-air dining tables in the distance, calmed her heart, and stepped forward again.

    Ever since making a scene on South Street that day, Hong Yan was already clear that she had been implicitly rejected by Jiang Qin. They hadn’t contacted each other since then, even saying goodnight had stopped a week ago.

    So when Jiang Qin sent a message over yesterday asking if she wanted to come out for dinner, Hong Yan was really surprised.

    She didn’t know if Jiang Qin had sent the message to the wrong person, but still couldn’t help but come as invited.

    But when Hong Yan walked to the entrance of Food is Heaven, her little heart couldn’t help but skip a beat.

    The reason was none other than a very pretty girl sitting at table seven. Taciturn, deep eyes, expressionless, sitting primly with a strong aura.

    Even the open-air small dirty stall and surrounding chatter couldn’t taint her with a bit of vulgarity at all.

    Hong Yan had always been very confident in her looks, but still felt endless pressure in front of this girl. She felt that no matter the other party’s gaze, attire or expression, they were all so cold as to be unapproachable, giving people a feeling that she could only be admired from afar.

    Hong Yan looked at the table number again and found she hadn’t gotten it wrong. So she walked over a bit nervously and sat down under Feng Nanshu’s gaze.

    “Hello, I’m Hong Yan.”

    “Feng Nanshu, Jiang Qin’s best friend, the lifelong kind.”

    Hong Yan felt a bit suffocated, even her pink moist cherry lips involuntarily pursed together.

    This girl’s aura was really too strong, especially that clear cold voice and forceful tone, it really had a pressuring feeling.

    Hong Yan herself was also a mature and elegant type of girl, but felt that no matter what she couldn’t reach the other party’s level. The girl opposite her, even just sitting dignified, would make girls facing her involuntarily feel ashamed of their inferiority.

    “Feng, are you also from the School of Finance?”

    “Yes.”

    “Then we should be the same age? When is your birthday?”

    “February 3rd.”

    As Feng Nanshu spoke, she couldn’t help but hum inwardly, thinking Jiang Qin why aren’t you here yet, I don’t even know what to say anymore.

    Socializing is really so troublesome, if everyone was like you and liked playing footsies it would be great.

    While Hong Yan lowered her head, pretending to drink water, she couldn’t help but feel a bit envious in her heart. People with absolute confidence really do shine.

    Just then, Jiang Qin had finished ordering and walked out of Food is Heaven, “Long time no see, Hong Yan.”

    “Long time no see, I thought you had invited the wrong person. I was a bit apprehensive coming here.” Hong Yan smiled lightly.

    Jiang Qin sat down and reached out to pour tea, “Actually I asked you out to talk about you transferring departments.”

    “How did you know?” Hong Yan was a bit surprised.

    “I ran into Si Huiying before, she told me. She’s very worried about your choice but couldn’t persuade you, so she wanted to ask me to help.”

    “She really…knows my weakness.”

    Jiang Qin took a sip of water, “Actually I’m also very curious, why do you have to transfer?”

    Hong Yan bit her red moist lip, “You said before, university is very wonderful, having a harmonious and perfect dorm relationship is important. But Chu Siqi and I definitely can’t get along harmoniously anymore, because I get angry every time I see her.”

    “That’s not enough reason to transfer departments though.”

    “Actually there are also reasons from my family. Dad hopes more that I study a trade major.”

    Jiang Qin looked at her, “Si Huiying said you really like law, wouldn’t it be a pity like this?”

    Hong Yan lightly shook her head smiling, “Actually Huiying is mistaken. I didn’t choose law because I like it, I only made myself like law after choosing it. Even if I changed to another major it wouldn’t make a difference.”

    “It’s not an impulsive decision?”

    “Definitely not.”

    Feng Nanshu sat silently on the side for a moment, suddenly remembered that famous line from “Mystic Eyes Girl”, “Don’t change your choice because of others’ opinions, do what you think is right.”

    Hong Yan was slightly stunned, looking at the little rich girl with a bit of admiration in her eyes, “Feng, I really hope I can live as confidently as you.”

    “??????”

    Jiang Qin looked at the two blankly, thinking is there some misunderstanding between you two? The little rich girl’s courage is smaller than a peanut, she doesn’t even dare to go out by herself, only knows to say goodnight goodnight all day, where does she have half a cent of confidence.

    Then he looked at Feng Nanshu with an icy expression, thinking little rich girl your summary is quite good, are you acting as me again?

    “Feng, I want to consult you on one more thing, can you tell me the answer?”

    Feng Nanshu nodded confidently, “Go ahead.”

    “If you really like someone but he doesn’t like you back, what should you do?” As Hong Yan spoke, she bit her lip.

    Feng Nanshu’s eyes suddenly turned cold, “The ending for lovers is most likely never seeing each other again after getting old, some might even become enemies, that’s too sci-fi.”

    “So that’s how it is…”

    Hong Yan’s eyes couldn’t help but dim. After a while, she smiled faintly. Raising her head again, she felt Feng Nanshu’s figure kept shining in the dusk.

    Jiang Qin laughed, thinking you two really are one dares to teach, one dares to learn.

    Shamelessly begging for monthly votes, please!
