Chapter 29: Chapter 29 A Pleasant Date with Qing Mei

Of course Jiang Nian wouldn’t do homework; life’s too short not to enjoy it.

At the Xu family’s house opposite, in Xu Qianqian’s room.

One was playing with their phone at the desk, the other lying on the bed doing the same. Each doing their own thing, in silent agreement, which was kind of traditional.

After all, under the elders’ watchful eyes, nothing felt easy.

As soon as you pull out the phone, parents start shaking their heads. If someone says "playing, playing, all you know is to play with your phone all day," the conversation shifts from domestic matters to how harmful phones are.

"Are there any good movies lately?" Xu Qianqian suddenly asked.

"Why?"

"Couple tickets are on discount, and anyway, you’re just bored."

Jiang Nian was somewhat taken aback, hilariously tense. Like, seriously? You think your dad, so tall and handsome, is just a tool for movie discounts in your eyes?

"What if I have a girlfriend?"

"You?"

Damn, just one word caused a ton of damage. The last time Jiang Nian heard such a shocking word was last time...original....ding...chicken...man.

"Gossip?" Jiang Nian sighed, "I don’t have a partner; it’s all women who’ve ruined me. As soon as I lie in bed, I start thinking about women, Shanghai housewives, Nai Xue."

"So, are you going or not?" Xu Qianqian seemed speechless.

In her heart, she thought if he weren’t so peculiar, he might actually find a girlfriend. But as it looks now, his condition seems to have worsened significantly.

He used to love being mischievous, now he likes being abstract, the kid probably has a fever.

Jiang Nian actually didn’t want to go watch a movie that much, still hesitating. After all, pretending to be a couple isn’t as fun as it might sound, with Xu Qianqian keeping an indifferent face the whole time.

Ding! [The thirty-eight-year-old you has successfully started your weight loss journey. Half a month ago, you had a pleasant conversation with your long-lost childhood friend, officially starting a date invitation.

Task: Complete a pleasant date with Xu Qianqian. Reward: 30,000 RMB.]

Looking at the message popping up on the system panel, Jiang Nian suddenly felt strange. It felt like a simulation game of life, with his eighteen-year-old self simulating his thirty-eight-year-old self.

To be precise, it should be simulating himself from another destiny line, making a comeback at the age of thirty-eight.

At least now Jiang Nian, from the start of the system, knew his destiny line in advance. It’s not about anything else; considering marriage is impossible, he won’t marry a bad woman.

To be extreme, marriage? Who would do that once they have money?

Better to get rewards and just be a scoundrel.

Seeing him not respond for a long time, Xu Qianqian pouted and turned away.

"Forget it if you’re not going."

"Huh? Who said I wasn’t going?" Jiang Nian suddenly became shy, cheekily, "You say, does this count as a date between us?"

In the past, Xu Qianqian would have kicked him for being annoying.

"A date... date my ass!" Xu Qianqian jumped up, her face slightly red, "Are you going or not, if not, I’ll find someone else."

"Alright then, same as always, you buy the snacks and I’ll buy the tickets." Jiang Nian tucked away his cheeky side, "I’ll go home to sneak out the electric scooter key, wait for me by the stairs."

As he said this, he turned to leave but was suddenly stopped.

"Hey, I’ll buy both the snacks and tickets this time," Xu Qianqian suddenly said, "Next time, when you have money... you can pay me back. My dad just gave me some pocket money."

"How dare you assume I’m broke?" He turned his head.

"My dad said you spent all your money helping Aunt Li out, probably don’t have any left." She said slowly, her eyes lowered, "He told me to help you out occasionally, so you don’t starve."

In truth, Director Xu never said anything about helping out. He knew the two always had a poor relationship, but this lie wouldn’t be exposed anyway.

"Fine, you pay then," said the not-so-broke Jiang Nian with a net worth of twenty-seven thousand.

Living off someone else has nothing to do with how much money you have.

Returning home.

Three adults were still chatting in the living room, talking about work and life matters. Occasionally, there were sighs about things from five or six years ago, and the atmosphere was rather low.

Old Xu seemed never to have really gotten over it after Xu Qianqian’s mother passed away.

He tiptoed home, passing by the living room, just in time to see Old Xu taking off his rimless glasses. Turning to look at him, his eyes remained slightly squinted.

"Xiao Nian, back?" A not-so-natural smile appeared on his face, one forcibly twisted from sadness, making his face look a bit stiff.

"Yeah, I’m grabbing the electric scooter key and taking Xu Qianqian out to meet some classmates." He wisely used Xu Qianqian as his trump card.

Sure enough, Li Hongmei swallowed back the words she was about to say.

"The key’s on the table in (your dad’s and my) room, don’t stay out too late."

"Okay."

Jiang Nian grabbed the key, and as he walked through the living room with his head down, he vaguely heard some fragmented words. Not wanting to listen further, he quickened his pace to leave.

He couldn’t understand Uncle Xu’s state of mind, only felt it was a bit of a pity. Recalling Uncle Xu’s expression, a line inexplicably popped into his head, a garden with a loquat tree...

Jiang Nian shook his head, casting aside the chaotic thoughts. He waited at the stairway for a little while, but Xu Qianqian still hadn’t shown up.

Ridiculous, it didn’t even take this long for the transformation before a Magic Dance Girl show.

After a good while, Xu Qianqian finally came down, specifically wearing a light green dress. The girl in front of him simply had her hair tied in a ponytail, fine, soft hair.

Her face seemed yet to fully mature, like all southern girls, her cheeks were fair and delicate. Her chin was slightly pointed, eyebrows like distant mountains, and her chest was full and bulging.

Her face seemed pure and fair, but her figure was exceptionally well-endowed.

Xu Qianqian felt a little guilty, not even knowing why she subconsciously changed into a dress. It was just a movie outing, nothing more, and Jiang Nian wasn’t someone important.

But she still did it, feeling both nervous and anxious.

"Why’d you take so long?" he asked, his eyes having looked her over quite a bit.

"Oh, I accidentally got my clothes wet while washing my face, so I changed into another," Xu Qianqian casually made up a reason, rather deliberately. She could have easily just said she changed her clothes.

"Does changing clothes take that long? The insoles must’ve taken quite a bit of time."

Xu Qianqian’s excitement was instantly shattered by the mention of insoles. She gritted her teeth and forced a smile, "You’re young, you don’t need your eyes, might as well use them to fry a dish."

"I didn’t know you had such a heavy taste, Xu Qianqian."

"...."

Zhennan County only had two cinemas, one in the south and one in the north, both attached to shopping centers.

The two rode to the southern one, with twenty minutes left until the start. Xu Qianqian went to the snack store outside the mall to buy snacks, while Jiang Nian took care of parking.

The National Day moviegoers were plenty, and the ticket checkers didn’t inspect bags, plenty brought their own snacks.

The two met at the manual ticket pickup area since couple tickets had to be bought on-site. Halfway through the queue, Xu Qianqian’s face suddenly turned fearful, tugging Jiang Nian’s sleeve.

"What?" Jiang Nian was busy on his phone.

Xu Qianqian’s voice trembled, "Look ahead, the couple is about to kiss."
