Chapter 88: Normal Conversation

In the male dormitory 302, after receiving the party notice, Zhou Chao took out his khaki trench coat from the bottom of his suitcase. He even turned up the collar after putting it on, dressing up like he was going to participate in the God of Gamblers’ decisive battle. As a result, he couldn’t stand the heat after wearing it for less than half a day and obediently changed into a short-sleeved shirt.

“Damn, my clothes don’t look that good. Old Jiang, do you have any good-looking clothes? Lend me a set?”

Ren Ziqiang heard this and laughed, “Jiang, who is 1.8 meters tall – even good-looking clothes on you would make you look like a starving refugee.”

“Get lost, concentration is the essence, don’t you understand?” Zhou Chao wasn’t self-conscious about his height but couldn’t stand others mentioning it.

Ren Ziqiang pursed his lips and looked at the calm and composed Cao Guangyu, “Old Cao, aren’t you going to dress up a bit?”

“Dressing up just for this occasion would be too deliberate. True effortlessness means responding to all changes without changing yourself. I pay attention to my image in normal times so there’s even less need to gild the lily now.”

Cao Guangyu spoke in an impressive manner.

He grasped the concept of effortlessness from Jiang Qin.

He felt the main reason Jiang Qin was so popular with girls was the carefree and unorthodox arrogance in his demeanor.

You’re all dressing up? Well, I won’t dress up then!

You’re all bragging about your family wealth? Well, I’ll just say I’m ordinary!

It was this strong sense of contrast that made him the most extraordinary among ordinary people every time.

“You’re full of big principles. You even lectured us when school started but amounted to nothing. Up until now, forget a girlfriend, we haven’t even seen you with a boyfriend!”

Ren Ziqiang pursed his lips, puncturing Cao Guangyu’s composure with one sentence.

“You guys are all quite glib when bickering with each other normally. How come you don’t dare speak in front of girls?” Jiang Qin came out from the balcony after changing into clean clothes and casually rolled up his pant legs.

Zhou Chao thought for a bit, “It’s not that I don’t dare speak, it’s that I don’t know what to say. Old Jiang, what do you and Feng Nanshu talk about when you’re together?”

“Nothing much, just normal conversation.”

“Then what do you do if not chat?”

“Massage Yongquan acupoint, knead Linei Ting.”

“?????”

Cao Guangyu gave them a look, “There’s no point asking Old Jiang this question. If a girl likes you, she’d love to listen even if you talk to her about international affairs. If she doesn’t like you, she won’t hum a word even if you have a silver tongue.”

“Old Cao, you can indeed be quite clear-headed at times, but you just flop when it comes to yourself.” Jiang Qin gave his evaluation.

“Never mind that. Anyway, as long as you don’t show off in front of everyone today, Jian Chun will definitely be mine.”

“But as a brother, I have to discourage you a bit. That Jian Chun seems to already have a partner, it’s that Zhuang Chen who skipped military training with her.”

Cao Guangyu didn’t care at all, “Old Jiang, besides you and me, the rest are all trash. I have no fear whatsoever.”

“Alright, just pretend I farted with that lucid statement just now.” Jiang Qin put on his shoes and opened the door. “I’m going out to take care of something. Let’s meet up directly at Food Is Heaven tonight.”

Cao Guangyu’s eyes lit up after hearing this, “Don’t go too early tonight. Wait until Jian Chun and I make eye contact before you show up. I’m afraid she might fall for you.”

“Oh, then I damn well won’t go at all.”

“?????”

Jiang Qin left the dormitory and made a trip to the Cuizhu Garden community across from the school. He borrowed car keys from Uncle Gong and took the opportunity to chat with him about Feng Nanshu for a bit.

Actually, Jiang Qin had always been very curious about how the little rich girl’s personality was cultivated. So he took the chance to ask Uncle Gong about it. But Uncle Gong said a driver must have professional ethics and cannot casually discuss the family affairs of his employer. He kept his mouth tightly shut on this matter but asked Jiang Qin to take the young miss out to play more.

At sunset, Jiang Qin arrived at Food Is Heaven with the Bentley car keys in his pocket and met up with the people from Finance Class 3.

Actually, university get-togethers weren’t much fun. At most, they would just gossip and talk about studies. Jiang Qin had no interest in these two topics, so he just wolfed down his food and turned a blind eye to Song Qingqing’s flirtatious glances.

However, his silence instead attracted the attention of Jian Chun who was sitting opposite him.

Because Song Qingqing and Jiang Tian had both dressed up for him before coming, even if Jian Chun’s first impression of him wasn’t good, she couldn’t help paying more attention to him now.

But the more she paid attention, the more she felt something was off.

Because Jiang Qin’s entire demeanor was very steady. He didn’t interject, didn’t show off. Even when Song Qingqing’s eyes were flying to the sky, he still remained indifferent.

Moreover, he would occasionally frown and gaze into the distance from time to time, not knowing what he was contemplating, looking very profound.

Would someone like this really be frivolous enough to pass a note to a girl he was meeting for the first time?

Jian Chun began to doubt her judgment because compared to Jiang Qin, Cao Guangyu, who was sitting beside him and constantly winking at her from various angles, seemed more like a ostentatious person.

Just then, the potbellied boss of Food Is Heaven walked over. No choice, business was too good, even the boss had to personally serve as a waiter.

“The dishes are all here, eat slowly.”

“Wait a minute boss, don’t leave yet.”

“?”

Smack–

Jiang Qin reached out, took out the Bentley car key, and slapped it on the table in a grand manner, startling the boss who thought he had accidentally knocked over the teapot. When he came back to his senses, he realized it turned out to be a car key.

“Bentley?”

“It’s been parked in the garage for too long. I don’t usually drive it out. This time I’m taking it out for a spin.” Jiang Qin’s mouth was about to slant to the sky.

The boss looked at him suspiciously, “A lighter?”

“It’s called a key fob, don’t you understand? You’ve been working near a university for so many years, how is your cultural literacy still so low? In this life, you’ll only be able to drive a second-hand BMW at most!”

The boss picked up the car key and looked at it, studying it for a long time before realizing it wasn’t a lighter. He instantly felt a sourness.

Damn, driving a Bentley to school, are college students these days all so ostentatious?

Jiang Qin saw his expression and felt pleased with himself. After being reborn, only I can diss others, no one can diss me!

At the same time, Jian Chun couldn’t help letting out a cold snort, thinking this guy was really frivolous to no end, showing off everywhere just because he had a car. Did he want the whole world to know his family was rich? That note was definitely from him, no mistake.

Her favorable impression of Zhuang Chen wasn’t that high originally, but in comparison, she felt Zhuang Chen really beat Jiang Qin by a huge margin.

After a while, the meal ended. Jiang Qin stood up and let out a burp from his full stomach, only to find Jian Chun coldly staring at him. He felt puzzled in his heart.

“Why are you looking at me?”

Jian Chun put on a smiling expression, “Jiang, the young master, is so generous, you should treat everyone tonight, right?”

“Even if I’m generous, it’s not like I ate your family’s rice. How can you just open your mouth and ask someone to treat you? That’s really lowbrow.” Jiang Qin looked very disdainful.

Jian Chun didn’t understand what “lowbrow” meant, but she could still hear the mocking tone. Her cheeks instantly flushed red, “How about this, if you treat everyone tonight, I’ll add you as a friend!”

“?????”

“How about it?”

“Hehe, are you crazy? Did a few dishes make you this drunk?”
