Chapter 95: Sneak In Quietly
by xennovel“Mom, I’m rolling back to school!”
At the end of the National Day holiday, Jiang Qin ate the dumplings his mother had handmade and boarded the train to Linchuan.
The weather was not good today. The entire sky was overcast as if it was about to rain. The air had a hint of coolness, seeming to prove the saying “a fall rain brings a chill”.
After arriving at the station, Jiang Qin got off the train. Seeing the gloomy sky, he started pondering how to get back to school.
The direct bus could go to the school gate, but taxis couldn’t enter the pedestrian street. If it rained, he would definitely get drenched on the long way from the pedestrian street to the male dorms.
Sigh, he really should buy a car. It would be inconvenient for off-campus promotions in the future without one.
“Sir, interested in learning about Haoting Villas?”
“Miss, interested in learning about Haoting Villas?”
A young girl by the roadside was handing out flyers. When it was Jiang Qin’s turn, she paused, then opened another handbag, “Sir, interested in low-rent housing?”
Jiang Qin furrowed his brow. Avoiding the low-rent housing flyer, he snatched a Haoting Villa one, holding it seriously as he walked towards the direct bus boarding entrance.
Seriously, not everyone in this world has taste.
After a bumpy ride, he arrived at Linchuan University. The clouds seemed to have thickened, but no rain fell, only a hazy sky with faint thunder.
Jiang Qin hurriedly returned to the dorm and aired it out.
Old Zhou’s smelly socks had been hanging on the balcony for a week. When the window opened, one sock whooshed away, falling into the gutter below.
Jiang Qin’s gaze froze. He seriously considered whether he should destroy the evidence of the other sock.
“Old Jiang, you’re back so early?” Cao Guangyu pushed open the door and called out upon seeing Jiang Qin.
Jiang Qin turned to look at him, “Old Cao, I see you’re quite popular on the forum, infamous in both good and bad ways. Especially your ‘My Five Campus Belle Girlfriends’ post, the number of comments is almost catching up to Shi Miaomiao’s novel.”
“You read it too?”
“Of course. But I always feel like I’m looking in a mirror. I vaguely feel many plots happened to me, like Cao Guangyu competing with a campus belle, Cao Guangyu’s messy love life. It’s very relatable.”
Cao Guangyu spat, “Damn, mentioning this makes me angry. A bunch of people clamoring to expose my real self, why won’t they believe I’m a rich second generation?”
“Actually, I suggest you switch strategies. Don’t forcibly establish a rich second generation persona. Might as well go with the flow and be a humorous internet celebrity. You have talent in that area.” Jiang Qin advised while wiping the desk.
Cao Guangyu’s eyebrows shot up, “Are you speaking human words, Old Jiang? You also think I’m bragging?”
Jiang Qin spat at him, “Do I not know if you have campus belle girlfriends and Patek Philippe watches? Damn dog, plagiarizing my life.”
Cao Guangyu’s old face reddened, “Then… how to be a humorous internet celebrity?”
“Say ridiculous things with a straight face.”
“Isn’t that what I’m doing now?”
“Not thorough enough. Just say you built a manor, 960 million square kilometers, and take a car to go to the bathroom every day. Some people will definitely like that kind of humor.” Jiang Qin gave him advice.
“Sounds unreliable. I’ll keep establishing my rich second generation image. Some insightful girls will believe me eventually.”
Jiang Qin patted Cao Guangyu’s shoulder and sighed slightly, knowing this guy was just born at the wrong time.
With his flamboyant persona, if it was 15 years later, he would definitely be an internet celebrity with a massive following. But this era was not yet dominated by traffic, causing talent to be buried. What a pity.
After tidying up the dorm, Jiang Qin dragged Cao Guangyu to Room 208 of the entrepreneurship base, saying he wanted to show him the office, but actually just wanted to get a helper to clean.
Room 208 was easy to clean, just opening windows for ventilation and wiping tables. The rest basically didn’t need to be touched. After all, the National Day holiday was only 7 days. No matter how dirty, it couldn’t get too bad.
When they finished, Jiang Qin’s phone started vibrating. The cute calico cat avatar kept jumping on the list.
“Jiang Qin, go for a walk.”
“It’s about to rain. You’ll cry if you get wet.”
“Go somewhere you won’t get wet then.”
“You’re already at school?”
“Not yet, almost. Come wait for me at my dorm. Sneak in quietly.”
“?”
After reading the messages, Jiang Qin felt baffled. What’s with sneaking in quietly?
But glancing at the time, he felt it was time to eat. He couldn’t let Old Cao help for nothing. So he dragged him to the No.2 cafeteria on Academy Road.
This was close to the female dorms of the School of Finance. After eating, he could go straight there.
As luck would have it, as soon as the two entered, they ran into Jian Chun and Zhuang Chen. The two were sitting face to face, looking like they had just arrived. The food trays were still full.
“Old Cao, not going over to say hi?” Jiang Qin urged him.
Cao Guangyu waved his hand while getting a food tray, “Forget it. If I go poach, besides givingach, besides giving their love a fierce test, there’s no actual use.”
Jiang Qin was a bit surprised after hearing this. Damn, Old Cao was no ordinary fierce man. He knew when to quit. That was scary. “Not planning to find a girlfriend?”
“I will, but this matter depends on fate. Can’t be rushed.”
“Where did you go for the holiday? How come it’s like your EQ gained enlightenment?”
“Men always grow.”
Cao Guangyu ate with his head down, his heart actually filled with bitterness. Damn, he confessed to Jian Chun through QQ over the holiday but was harshly rejected. The key was she even misremembered his name.
After finishing the meal, Jiang Qin threw the tray into the return area, parted with Cao Guangyu, and walked towards the female dorms of the School of Finance.
But before he got far, a black Bentley drove up on Academy Road. One glance at the license plate was enough to know Feng Nanshu had arrived.
Jiang Qin waved, preparing to wait for the car to stop. But that Bentley accelerated without a word, vroom, speeding far away, then quickly turned into the female dorm area.
Hm?
Jiang Qin narrowed his eyes slightly, looking a bit puzzled.
Was she in a hurry to go back and wash her feet?
As a gentleman, there was absolutely no need to do that in broad daylight.
At the same time, in the back seat of that black Bentley, Feng Nanshu sat properly, good and quiet, dazed and cute.
Beside her sat a woman wearing a black gown, noble and elegant, with flawless exquisite makeup, bright piercing eyes, meticulously styled black shiny hair in an updo, her entire being exuding grace, poise and confidence.
Feng Nanshu’s hand was held in her palm, placed on her knee. The two had identical bearing.
After a while, the black Bentley steadily stopped in front of Building 7. Uncle Gong’s voice then sounded in the car.
“CEO Qin, Young Miss, we’ve arrived at the dorm.”
