Chapter 1338 - 879: Xu Qianqian and Her Good Desk Mate_2
....."I’m so full."
Yao Beibei touched her belly and planned to buy a bottle of water later, "Zhizhi, where are we going now?"
"Can’t go into the library, let’s take a walk around Weiming Lake."
"Oh, okay."
The two girls strolled leisurely, wandering in the lazy afternoon. The more Zhang Ningzhi walked, the more uneasy she felt.
There was a constant bad feeling, as if a shadow clouded her heart.
Class monitor...
At Beijing University, the class monitor and Jiang Nian were college classmates. Maybe they often ate and hung out together.
Attended classes together, picked up packages.
These were the things she had imagined before, going to college with Jiang Nian, the things they would do together.
Now...
"Baby, what’s wrong?" Yao Beibei turned her head and glanced at Zhizhi, "Why are you unhappy?"
"Nothing, I just..." Zhang Ningzhi sighed, "Suddenly feel it’s so hard, maybe shouldn’t have come here."
"It’s okay, after walking around Weiming Lake, we can leave." Yao Beibei thought for a moment, "There’s a dessert shop nearby..."
Meanwhile.
"So sleepy." Xu Qianqian yawned, walked out of the cafeteria door, and just wanted to go back to sleep.
Jiang Nian was in Yuhang, Xiao Song returned to the dormitory.
Only herself left...
So unaccustomed.
"Have I become too dependent on them?" she murmured to herself, "There’s class this afternoon, no way to nap."
"Forget it, I’ll just wander around."
Girls tend to perk up with sweets rather than drinks like coffee, naturally limiting her choices.
The dessert shop wasn’t far around, the weather was gloomy. Zhang Ningzhi hooked her arm around Yao Beibei’s, and they walked to the food street.
Even though the weather wasn’t favorable, there were still plenty of people around.
"That cake looks delicious." The young girl pointed at a cheesecake with nuts in the display window.
"Let’s buy one." Yao Beibei was about to take it, but turned back and said, "Do you want to take a photo and show Jiang Nian?"
"Sure." Zhang Ningzhi’s mood brightened up again.
"Speaking of which, are you together now?" Yao Beibei picked the cake, casually asked.
"How come I feel like I’ve never heard you mention it."
"Sort of, after all, we’ve been together for so long." Zhang Ningzhi nodded, but her words lacked confidence.
What about the class monitor?
"Jiang Nian hasn’t mentioned it either, anyway... these things. It’s hard for me to bring up, I guess he’s my boyfriend."
"That’s nice, too." Yao Beibei said, "He’s been busy lately, once things stabilize, there’ll be some sort of acknowledgment."
"Yes." Zhang Ningzhi carried the cheesecake and a glass of juice, heading to the seats with her best friend.
The two girls chatted about their daily lives, talking about these things occasionally. They just didn’t notice Xu Qianqian, who had just entered the door.
She froze for a while, thinking she might be hearing things.
"Help me get a box of mochi." Xu Qianqian pointed to the cold storage, but her gaze unconsciously drifted to the side.
At this moment, Zhang Ningzhi also looked back. The two girls’ eyes met briefly, both froze for a moment.
"You’re..."
Zhizhi stood up, slightly surprised. There were only a few people from Zhen Nan who went to Beijing University together.
The faded poster was still in the display case.
Xu Qianqian stared at Zhang Ningzhi, trying to figure it out. She should have an impression of this pretty girl.
"Are you Jiang Nian’s classmate?"
"Girlfriend." Zhang Ningzhi originally wanted to say best deskmate ever, but she was full of doubts now.
So, she skipped it directly.
"Are you his.....?"
The other girl was pretty, almost on par with her. The difference was, those bold eyes.
So familiar.....
Jiang Nian looked at people this way too, with uneven shoulders. A slightly tilted head, the overall look seemed a little lazy.
Even if not carved from the same mold, they were close friends.
"Neighbor," she said.
As Xu Qianqian said this, her eyes slightly drooped, "Did you just say Jiang Nian is your boyfriend?"
Yao Beibei looked up at the girl with the pure next-door appearance, vaguely aware of something.
"Zhizhi, I need to use the bathroom, let’s first..."
She wanted to take Zhang Ningzhi away, but couldn’t move her. Turning her head, she saw Zhang Ningzhi frowning.
"Yes." Zhang Ningzhi pursed her lips, "He’s my boyfriend, and we’ve been together for a long time."
Xu Qianqian’s fingers trembled slightly, taking a deep breath.
"Together since senior year?"
"No." Zhang Ningzhi initially wanted to say yes, but seeing the slight redness at the corner of the other’s eyes, she couldn’t bear to lie and hurt her.
"Got together in college, you and him...?"
Xu Qianqian turned, tears dropping with a plop, smashing like glass, leaving only one sentence.
"I have nothing to do with that idiot!!"
After saying that, she quickly left.
Yao Beibei held her breath, a bit dazed. It was like a dream, Beijing was so big, how did this happen.....
This sudden event had no warning at all.
"Zhizhi....."
"Hmm." Zhang Ningzhi was uncharacteristically silent, her heart heavy, "You go to the bathroom, I need some quiet."
Yao Beibei didn’t dare leave, but facing this sort of situation, it was her first time, and she had no experience.
"I can hold it a bit longer; I’ll walk with you."
Zhang Ningzhi didn’t respond.
Yao Beibei panicked and coughed to comfort her, "Things... aren’t settled yet, it’s all Jiang Nian’s fault."
"Beibei, I’m..... so sad." Zhang Ningzhi choked with tears flowing down her cheeks.
"Had I known, I shouldn’t have come today."
This was the second time she said this today. The sky was gloomy; if only she had left earlier.
This was the only thought in her mind.
Everything was fine, Jiang Nian rarely broke promises. This time, he needed to rush back to Yuhang.
In fact, she had long sensed many things. Just didn’t want to think about it, temporarily had no way to handle it.
She had thought the knot would be the class monitor.
Unexpectedly, a neighbor popped up. She had ruined everything herself, leaving a mess afterward.
Yao Beibei was silent, thinking Jiang Nian was really at fault.
....
At this moment, Jiang Nian was in Yuhang interviewing designers. He had to oversee all personnel changes within the company.
It’s a critical time, and he couldn’t afford to be careless.
If given another half year, he could con.... no, earn.... win.... get an investor.
Currently, the company’s live broadcast business had matured.
But people were restless; the young lady in charge of live broadcasts seemed to have been in talks with other companies recently.
Besides giving a raise, recruiting more people was necessary.
"Boss!!" Zhang Wei knocked and entered, holding a sample garment, "The warehouse staff said..."
He hadn’t finished speaking, Jiang Nian’s phone rang.
It was Xiao Song calling.
Jiang Nian’s heart jolted, knowing Xiao Song’s character. If it were a minor issue, he wouldn’t usually call.
Scanned the messenger, no WeChat messages.
Hmm?
Uh-oh!!
He took a deep breath, gestured to Zhang Wei to wait, "I’ll talk to you later, let me take this call first."
"Alright." Zhang Wei nodded.
Jiang Nian walked to the window, opened a crack, and then answered the call, asking calmly.
"What’s up?"
Over the phone, Xiao Song was silent for about five or six seconds.
"Do you have another girlfriend?"
Jiang Nian’s face twitched, instinctively panicking. Thinking, could it be true, Xiao Song couldn’t be lying to trick him.
"Who said that?"
He didn’t respond directly nor did he deny it.
"Qianqian."
Xiao Song said the name he didn’t want to hear, "She went out for lunch and bumped into your girlfriend."
"At the dessert shop, it was said you’ve been together since college."
Jiang Nian: "...."
He didn’t know how to explain, ever since Zhang Ningzhi went to Yan Garden, he had a bad feeling.
But then again, he thought it wouldn’t be so coincidental.
After all, Zhang Ningzhi wasn’t familiar with Xu Qianqian. She might have only heard her name; as long as they didn’t meet, everything was manageable.
Even if just in passing.
"Xiyun." Jiang Nian paused for a few seconds, organized his thoughts, "Can I explain when I get back?"
"Sure."
Song Xiyun said, "No need to explain to me, you don’t owe me. Just think about how to explain to Qianqian."
"Where is she?"
"In class."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian felt even more blocked, "Later, I’ll call her to explain."
"Okay."
Song Xiyun hung up the phone, sat on the apartment’s sofa, silently started crying, then stood up.
Returning to the room to pack her things.
