Chapter 1340 - 880: Low Pressure (2)
Yao Beibei stood aside, not saying a word. In her heart, she thought, indeed, Zhizhi relied too much on Jiang Nian.Even when angry, she couldn’t bring herself to say harsh words.
If it were me, I would have started cursing by now. Maybe even kicked him a few times to really vent my anger.
"Alright, it’s really late now." Jiang Nian said on the phone, "I’m here to apologize to you."
"I’m sorry, it’s all my fault."
On the phone, Jiang Nian explained for a while. But didn’t make any excuses to avoid the issue.
Zhang Ningzhi became more and more silent as she listened, and finally hung up the phone.
Yao Beibei sighed and left the room on her own. She planned to take a shower, leaving the space for Zhizhi.
That guy’s really courting trouble, can’t he just be good?
Meanwhile.
Jiang Nian put away his phone, looking at the mess on both sides. However, in the midst of the doom, thankfully there was no full-blown explosion.
The current situation required him to first clean up the mess.
He returned to the apartment, managed to get through the night for now. In the morning, he got up and pushed aside his anxiety to handle work.
This chaotic relationship was entirely of his own making.
Sigh.
Jiang Nian also felt a bit of regret, if only he had been able to endure at the beginning. Hmm... that doesn’t seem realistic, he wasn’t given time.
No matter how he chose, Xiao Song was the first to leave.
Then it was Xu Qianqian, and Chen Yunyun. Perhaps Xu Shuang didn’t care, or maybe she just didn’t say it.
Over on Qingqing’s side, she probably had opinions too.
So, no matter what he did back then, there was no perfect ending, and even less a one-size-fits-all solution.
Perhaps, good things are always hard to come by.
....
"Why haven’t you gone out these days?" Da Chao found it strange that Jiang Nian had stayed in the dorm for days.
"Broke up." He sighed.
In response, the dorm fell silent for a moment.
"With which one?"
Jiang Nian thought carefully, "All three are gone, guys, I’m done for, who’s buying me dinner today?"
"Me!! Me!" Da Chao got excited, then coughed and said, "I’ll pay for the meal, I will!"
Brother Bao Song glanced at him and curiously asked.
"Do you have money?"
"How could a man have no money?" Da Chao said with his arms on his hips, "Never mind, let’s just eat out together tonight."
"Alright."
Whether Jiang Nian broke up or not wasn’t important. This guy’s luck with women was so good, having a good meal is what mattered most.
As night fell.
Fanzi originally didn’t want to go, always freeloading, afraid he wouldn’t be able to repay the favor after graduation.
But he was dragged along by Brother Bao Song, who pointed at Jiang Nian and Da Chao, "Look at these two."
"One’s a big boss and the other a big sycophant, which of them is short of money?"
"Fuck you!"
"Go gnaw on bones, eat some crap." Da Chao couldn’t hold back, his family truly wasn’t short of money.
But when they heard he was falling in love, they didn’t give him extra love allowance, instead they tightened his living expenses.
That part, he couldn’t figure out.
"What else could it be, afraid you’d be deceived." Jiang Nian patted his shoulder, "Fall in love with whoever you meet."
"Aren’t you just the same?" he retorted.
Jiang Nian was embarrassed, he really wasn’t. But explaining to his roommate was futile, like he could explain to them?
Neither Xu Qianqian nor Zhizhi would believe him.
These days, he knew well enough that staying at school was pointless. Yet he didn’t leave, hoping to at least make some effort.
"I’m not."
"Pfft!" Da Chao waved his hand, "Who’d believe you, forget it, I’m lazy to talk to you, come eat some barbecue."
Jiang Nian: "...."
The tide had turned, he was actually despised by Da Chao. Halfway through the barbecue, Jiang Nian’s phone vibrated.
"Hmm?"
He thought it was Xu Qianqian replying, so he held his breath. But upon opening it, he found it was Deng Yi.
"Did you get dumped?"
Jiang Nian: "???"
He abruptly turned his head and looked at Da Chao, who was eating skewers. He couldn’t hold back anymore, and started cursing.
"Are you a dog?!!"
"Huh?"
"Huh your ass, selling out a brother for fame, is that it?"
"Bro, you misunderstood me." Da Chao said awkwardly, "Come come, eat a skewer to calm down."
"I’m doing this for your own good, afraid you won’t get over it."
The next day.
Xu Shuang somehow heard the news and came looking for Jiang Nian, "Haven’t you been doing well lately?"
"No, I’m fine."
In the pavilion, Jiang Nian was holding onto the long bench with both hands, his body tilted slightly backward, looking at ease and carefree.
"Who told you that, could it be the Taoist?"
"No, I guessed it myself." Xu Shuang sat down beside him, "You haven’t been to Yuhang in a long time."
"There’s nothing there." he said.
"How could there be nothing, it’s the most crucial time." Xu Shuang smiled as Jiang Nian looked over.
"Didn’t you say it yourself, forgot?"
"Hmm."
"What happened?" Xu Shuang asked calmly, glancing at him, "Who are you waiting for at school?"
"No one." Jiang Nian felt a bit uncomfortable, this woman really... at least leave a bit of privacy for people.
Qingqing probably doesn’t know, or doesn’t want to know.
Damn!
A group of top students is truly terrifying, they’re perfect in moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and labor, no weak spots, five-sided warriors.
"Fine, don’t say it then." Xu Shuang stood up and smiled, "I’m not really interested in these either."
Jiang Nian: "..."
Not interested, means asking you out specifically. When she doesn’t get an answer, she tries to save face.
He felt truly awkward, this woman.
"Stop asking, just a bit of a problem." Jiang Nian said, "Something related to interpersonal relationships, a bit of a misunderstanding."
"Really just a misunderstanding?"
Jiang Nian: "False."
Xu Shuang turned around, standing in front of him. She stretched out her arms, inviting for a hug, "Do you need a hug?"
"Huh?" Jiang Nian was stunned, thinking he heard wrong, "What... what...."
"A hug, aren’t you very fragile right now?" Xu Shuang looked at him, "A hug might make you feel better."
Jiang Nian opened his mouth, his morals and basic instincts were in a crazy battle.
"I don’t... don’t need, though it’s okay."
Xu Shuang: "???
She couldn’t quite figure out his phrasing, is it don’t need it’s okay, or don’t need but it’s also okay?
"Then..." she tentatively asked, "Do you want one?"
"Don’t, don’t, what’s this." Jiang Nian got up and walked away, but after a while he came back.
He gave Xu Shuang a hug, touched her waist, then left.
...
Time waits for no one.
Jiang Nian had been wandering around school for over a week, having "encountered" Xu Qianqian a few times, but to no avail.
Like a stranger, taking a glance and leaving.
Oh, there’s Xiao Song too.
In the case of Zhang Ningzhi, at least he had an insider. Occasionally he could get some news from Yao Beibei.
With Xu Qianqian, the two of them were together.
Jiang Nian stood by Weiming Lake and sighed. He couldn’t wait any longer, he seemingly had to leave Beijing.
To Yuhang, there are too many things to do.
This trip.....
Won’t be a stable one either.
It wasn’t entirely fruitless this past week. At the very least, Jiang Nian could show his face by wandering around every day.
Things weren’t resolved, and the relationships hadn’t softened.
No, on Zhang Ningzhi’s side he could still make a call. With Xu Qianqian, he hadn’t exchanged a single word.
In fact, if he wanted to talk, it was simple.
Start with Xiao Song, she’s relatively stubborn. But if Xiao Song softened, Xu Qianqian would follow suit.
The problem is, the two women are inseparable.
This outbreak was a bit unexpected, catching Jiang Nian off guard, but it wasn’t entirely a bad thing.
They say, better to happen sooner than later. If you had to define it, it’s just college love turmoil.
In the end, it’s a young person’s issue.
If it erupted before or after marriage, dragging in both parents, it’d be a different story, much harder to recover from.
With mixed feelings, Jiang Nian returned to Yuhang.
This time, alone, yet feeling surprisingly relieved. Since it’s already a wreck, how much worse could it collapse?
Get to work!!
After working non-stop for two days, people at the company noticed something was wrong; the boss’s mood was scarily low.
"What’s wrong with the boss, he doesn’t even go home." Liu Rui whispered, "Is it....."
"Sigh, really pitiful." Fan Yixuan shook her head, "Makes me feel all motherly, too bad there’s work to do."
Liu Rui: "What’s this got to do with work?"
"Because your boss can fire people." Fan Yixuan rolled her eyes, "Better get back to work."
