CHAPTER 947: CHAPTER 550: PROFESSOR

After Xue Chuchu left, only Jiang Ning was left in the room.

The game screen on the 32-inch monitor was frozen, and that world was paused along with it.

Jiang Ning casually found a TV program to let it play some sound.

He picked up some skewers from the small table and ate them while watching TV.

Jiang Ning had long been used to this kind of life. In his past life, in those years after graduation, sometimes after work, when he craved something, he would splurge a bit, spending forty or fifty yuan to buy some skewers to take back to his rented place.

Just like now, watching TV, eating, enjoying himself.

It’s not great, nor is it bad, at most a bit lonely, but at least he was healthy and alive, without suffering much injustice.

The taste of the skewers he used to buy couldn’t compare to the freshly slaughtered lamb of his neighbor Boss Yang, so Jiang Ning ate slowly. Once the skewers cooled, the taste wasn’t as good, so Jiang Ning released a spirit flame, gently covering the skewers.

As he was enjoying his meal, hurried footsteps sounded from outside, and Xue Yuantong burst into the room.

She was furious: "Alright, Jiang Ning, you actually did this behind my back!"

Jiang Ning shifted his gaze: "Hmm? What did I do?"

Xue Yuantong: "You know exactly what you did!"

She plopped down on the sofa and started to taste the skewers happily.

Jiang Ning hadn’t extended his Divine Sense earlier, so he was unclear on what had actually happened. He closed his eyes, activated his Divine Sense, and scanned the surroundings along the ground, revealing countless footprints.

He confirmed that Xue Yuantong and Xue Chuchu had not met earlier.

So, it should be fine.

Without knowing, Xue Yuantong ate two skewers and then picked up two more: "I’m going to take these to Chuchu."

Jiang Ning: "...Alright."

"Also, tomorrow Bai Yuxia won’t eat at the cafeteria, so we’ll let Chuchu come find us at school after class, then we’ll go to the cafeteria to eat together. She finishes class ten minutes earlier than us, then we can all go home together after eating!"

Xue Yuantong laid out her plan.

"Okay, you tell her then." Jiang Ning said.

"Then I’m off~" Xue Yuantong took two steps out the door, then turned back, her childish face with lips slightly upturned, "I’ll be back, you better not eat any while I’m gone!"

Jiang Ning, amused: "I’ll wait for you."

After reminding him, she left feeling at ease.

In the neighboring bungalow.

Xue Chuchu opened a book, her mind unable to settle. Though usually reserved, her cold face now showed a rare hint of both shame and anger.

’Jiang Ning, he’s really...’

She didn’t pay much mind to accidental touches, everyone makes mistakes, it’s just awkward at most, but why did he say it that way?

Xue Chuchu, having spent some time with Jiang Ning, knew that with his rationality, it was hard for him to say something like that, yet he did.

It was hard not to wonder what he was really thinking...

Moreover, Xue Chuchu had deeper thoughts; it clearly wasn’t how he said it was... the darkest voice deep within was shouting: ’If you dare, try it again!’

...As this thought flowed through her mind, a rosy blush appeared on Xue Chuchu’s cheeks, and her expression became more animated.

"Chuchu, I’m here!" Xue Yuantong’s clear voice came.

Xue Chuchu straightened her textbook, her expression returning to normal.

...

An apartment in the urban area.

Liu Chuandao lit a cigarette and took a satisfying drag.

His own failures were certainly terrifying, but other people’s successes were even more distressing; luckily, Dan Kaiquan’s failure was even more disastrous than his!

Thinking about the grand display Dan Kaiquan put on during the day, Liu Chuandao took another puff, slowly exhaling smoke rings.

When Dan Kaiquan confessed, he could see clearly, the girls in the class all ran out to watch, especially Jiang Yanan and her friends, discussing fervently, claiming how romantic it was.

This gave Liu Chuandao inspiration, he originally thought Dan Kaiquan was crazy for doing that, but who would’ve thought the girls actually liked it?

’Romance is the ultimate weapon!’

The old saying goes, "Live and learn," and Liu Chuandao learned a trick, preparing for its use.

Imagine, if yesterday Dan Kaiquan’s confession ended in such a fiasco, but he, Liu Chuandao, succeeded in confessing, wouldn’t that be a smack in Dan Kaiquan’s face?

Thinking of the more and more pitiful image of Dan Kaiquan, Liu Chuandao burst into laughter.

’Kid, I’ll show you what it means to destroy someone utterly!’

Thinking this, Liu Chuandao prepared to confess.

He aimed at Jiang Yanan and crafted a message: "Jiang Yanan, from the first moment I saw you, a strong love arose in my heart, you are as dazzling as the stars, I cannot resist my love for you, I cannot resist your beauty, I know I am not perfect, but I am willing to give you a grand confessional ceremony, many times grander than the one this afternoon, do you accept my love?"

Liu Chuandao checked it again, thinking he was simply a genius for expressing his love first, then enticing with the romance all girls love; with this combo, who could withstand it?

Liu Chuandao sent it to Jiang Yanan, then quietly waited for her response.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yanan was in her small group: "Girls, Liu Chuandao confessed to me, what do you think?"

Yu Wen: "You already know what kind of person he is, right?"

"Meaning I should just reject him?"

Lu Qiqi: "Didn’t he say he wanted to give you gifts for the confession? You can agree first, and have him send you the gifts."

Jiang Yanan immediately denied: "He’s not good-looking. If I agree just for the gifts, wouldn’t that mean I’m becoming his girlfriend?"

Lu Qiqi: "Accepting a gift doesn’t mean agreeing."

From a young age, Jiang Yanan had a proper set of values and couldn’t accept this idea.
