Divorce Revenge System: Knowing the Future in Advance-Chapter 941 - 682: Skimming the Surface (Part 2)

"This kind of death is like, walking down the street. Suddenly getting hit by a big truck and being smashed to pieces."

Li Hua was dumbfounded, not saying a word, and began to flip through his book. A few minutes later, he lay on the desk, quietly crying.

"Damn beast! Shit!"

"It's truly Chi Shi!"

"You're a damn beast too, who told you to tell me! Chi Shi, I'm really unlucky!"

Jiang Nian grinned, he loved seeing Li Hua in pain.

"Here, have some snake bile with Chuanbei liquid."

"Chi Shi!"

The entire afternoon, Li Hua was completely quiet. He stopped showing off and sighed as he read and reviewed his books.

During the break, Yao Beibei was shocked.

"Huh?"

"What happened to Li Hua?"

"Nothing, every month men have a couple of days like this," Jiang Nian said. "Feeling down, it's normal."

Zhang Ningzhi grinned and pulled Yao Beibei away.

"Let's go."

Yao Beibei glanced at Jiang Nian and her best friend, looking like partners in crime.

"Tsk tsk."

"Oh you..." Zhang Ningzhi obviously knew what her friend's 'tsk tsk' meant, and couldn't help but blush a little.

The two shared whispers, giggling as they left.

Li Hua, feeling hopeless, gave the Tomb Raider Notes to Zeng You. Seeing the puzzlement in Zeng You's eyes, he spoke earnestly.

"I hope you study it seriously."

Zeng You was bewildered but still accepted it.

"Alright, I'll sell it as second-hand."

"Damn it!"

....

After school in the afternoon.

Jiang Nian spent an extra twenty minutes on the test paper, looked up, and saw Li Qingrong was still there, so he suggested they grab a meal together.

"Shall we eat out?"

He said, "Tomorrow's the exam, let's not eat in the cafeteria. If we get a stomachache, it'll be troublesome."

Li Qingrong was surprised at his words, "Isn't it usually eating outside that gives you a stomachache?"

Jiang Nian explained, "That's generally true, but don't trust the cafeteria when it's crucial."

Li Qingrong: "...."

The two found a fish noodle shop, a crowd indicating decent flavor. On the contrary, less crowd means it's awful.

Not just awful, but exceptionally awful.

The class monitor ate the fish noodles, Jiang Nian tried a different dish. Once served, the fish broth was milky white and appetizing.

Suddenly, someone looked up from the side.

"Look over there."

"What?"

"Wow, isn't that Jiang Nian and the class....."

Jiang Nian seemed to notice them too, got up and went over to greet them, Li Qingrong followed suit.

After all, with the fish noodles served, they didn't have to worry about losing their seats.

"You guys are here too?"

"Yeah, you and the class monitor..." Lin Dong's tailbone had healed, as long as he didn't sit for long periods, he was fine.

He planned to bring a cushion to the exam hall tomorrow so it wouldn't affect his exam.

"Just worked on some problems in the classroom this afternoon and came out for a meal." Jiang Nian was calm, after all, he had a clear conscience.

"Class monitor," Huang Caicai greeted.

"Mm." Li Qingrong nodded.

Jiang Nian didn't plan to chat long, greeted them and left. He led the class monitor back to their seats and continued eating.

Soon after, the waiter brought beer to Lin Dong's table, claiming Jiang Nian had ordered it and paid.

Lin Dong: "...Damn, that's sneaky."

"What's wrong?" Huang Caicai loved beer, often buying chilled ones after farm work in summer.

To a country lad, beer is like a soft drink.

Lin Dong shook his head, "Nothing, just can't ride to the exam with Jiang Nian's electric scooter, might end up at an internet cafe."

"I was gonna say....." Yang Qiming cleared his throat, "Why did Jiang Nian bring the class monitor here to eat?"

"What's the problem?" Lin Dong was puzzled.

The tables were far apart, so they weren't worried about being overheard.

"It's too shabby," Yang Qiming said, "If it were me, I'd go to the restaurant next to the supermarket."

Upon hearing this, Sun Zhicheng, who hadn't spoken, looked up.

"True."

Though not on good terms, through Lin Dong, Sun Zhicheng occasionally hung out with them, just not talking much.

Lin Dong thought about it, "Maybe the class monitor is okay with it, she didn't say anything, probably likes the food."

The four fell silent for a while, feeling a bit awkward.

"Sigh."

Sun Zhicheng, hearing this, felt a bit dazed. If it were Chen Yunyun, she might also go eat with Jiang Nian.

Thinking of this, the delicious fish soup turned bitter.

"Why do good girls all like Jiang Nian?" Yang Qiming found it hard to swallow, suddenly losing the taste for the fish soup.

Lin Dong also fell silent, indeed feeling awkward.

At this time, Huang Caicai, head down eating noodles, quietly said, "Girls like that won't get close to Jiang Nian, right?"

Hearing this, the three were stunned.

Damn, that hit the spot.

....

Elsewhere.

Because Jiang Nian's table was served faster, they finished early, paid the bill, and left without immediately returning to school.

He was walking shoulder to shoulder with Li Qingrong along the street.

The sky darkened slowly, and the city lights lit up. Store signs gleamed in the night, vividly colorful.

Jiang Nian wasn't aware of Lin Dong and the group's discussion; even if he knew, he'd just laugh it off.

He didn't do anything wrong, just being himself. To avoid trouble, he stayed away from troublesome people.

Never bothered by unnecessary gains or losses.

"You....." Li Qingrong started.

"Mm?"

Jiang Nian stopped, looked back at the class monitor, "What is it?"

"You and that..." Li Qingrong slightly raised her head, her eyes reflecting the light, "Xu Shuang, are you guys close?"

"Not really," Jiang Nian was a bit taken aback.

Caught red-handed...not at all.

Between him and Miss Xu, there was absolutely no scandal. Just a purely beneficial relationship, nothing else.

"What's up?" he asked.

"Nothing." Li Qingrong shook her head, restoring her calm demeanor, "You seem familiar with her."

"We're friends, helped each other a few times," Jiang Nian said, "I'm good friends with her brother too, he's a nice guy."

Li Qingrong lowered her head, "Mm."

Jiang Nian walked two steps forward, and Li Qingrong followed. She didn't stop there, just continued as usual.

The rustling footsteps echoed between the two of them.

Step by step, pausing.

"Qingqing, uh....." Jiang Nian thought about it, and tentatively asked, "Are you eating...."

Before he finished, he felt a kick on his calf.

"Oww!!~"

Li Qingrong said, "No."

"Who kicked my leg?"

"Dunno." Li Qingrong turned away, the two stood on a sloping sidewalk with a black railing.

"It's broken," he squatted down.

"No."

Jiang Nian was out of ideas, so he limped forward, "Actually, there's a bit of a deal between me and her."

Li Qingrong, silent for a bit, couldn't help but ask.

"What?"

"It started with her brother, made some quick cash with him." Jiang Nian shared a few details in two or three sentences.

As for mountain climbing, he didn't mention it. Not set in stone, it might get canceled in a few days.

Why ask for trouble?

Li Qingrong listened, still didn't say much. Until they reached a hotel, and here she turned back on the steps.

"Does it hurt?"

"Hm?" Jiang Nian was stunned for a moment, then remembered he was "injured," "Ow... feels a bit disabled."

"Maybe like Lin Dong, get a few days off from Old Liu."

He talked while resting his foot on the steps, gently rubbing it, and looking up, suddenly pausing.

How did they end up at the hotel entrance?

He brought his ID, so heading to an internet cafe for some games wasn't a problem, his balance was untouched.

While he mused, he wondered why it was so quiet.

Damn, Qingqing sure has a hard heart.

He wanted to stop the act of playing pitiful since it wasn't working. Just as he straightened up, he felt a cold sensation on his face.

Then it quickly retreated, like a dragonfly brushing water.

"Huh?"

Jiang Nian turned, only to see Li Qingrong walking quickly away, and within seconds, she had reached the crossroads ahead.

Li Qingrong took a few more steps before looking back.

"Coming?"

Jiang Nian blinked and followed her up.

"Okay, okay."
