Chapter 31: Just live on, who can outlive you?

Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Just live on, who can outlive you?

Jiang Nian’s eyelids twitched, and he suddenly turned to look at her.

"Why are you looking at me?" Qianqian frowned, "Got dumbstruck? It’s a green light and you’re still not moving, or did the shock hit you? Don’t worry, next time you’ll get used to it."

He had a strange expression, just dragged out an "oh" sound, which made Qianqian grit her teeth.

Oh, oh, oh, my foot, yeah right!

Oh again, and I’ll stomp on your face with my size thirty shoes on your size forty-two face!

The little scooter started up again, and Jiang Nian curiously asked a question.

"You’re not happy, yet you still came out to see a movie with me."

"I don’t like playing with fools, but if it’s you, my friend." Qianqian said while playing with her phone in the backseat, "Even if you’re a dimwit, I’d still hang out with you."

Jiang Nian sneered, what a tsundere little brat.

Beep beep.

The electric bike stopped downstairs, and the two walked up the stairs step by step. A crisp snap of fingers, and the orange voice-activated stair lights cast their shadows on the wall.

Before they went their separate ways at the door, Jiang Nian suddenly said to her.

"Your face is pretty soft."

Qianqian’s movement of opening the door froze as if stuck in a frame, her pupils shrinking infinitely for a moment. Almost instantly, her whole body became hot and her heartbeat pounded.

She turned around, but the door opposite had long been closed.

Qianqian lingered by the shoe cabinet at the door for a while before returning to normal. The living room was empty, and her father’s room had already turned off the lights, something she was long accustomed to.

Her mother had passed away years ago, and the house remained cold and quiet.

Most of the time, she was home alone, and the busy high school life had her putting all her energy into studying, gradually making her unable to feel lonely.

The last time she dreamed of her mother was probably a year ago.

After returning from Jiang Nian’s house after New Year’s Eve dinner, she stood alone on the dim balcony. Wearing thin clothes and looking at the bright lights and happy families in the neighboring building, she stood there for an hour.

In the second half of the night, she indeed got a fever.

In a daze, she felt a pair of hands touch her forehead. Her mother sat by the bed, holding her hand gently and asking why she didn’t take medicine.

She wanted to speak but couldn’t, she just kept crying. She simply wanted to tell her mother how badly she had been these years, every year was bad.

She woke from the dream without ever being able to say it.

Time had diluted everything, and now she rarely thought of her mother. Occasionally, when she did, it was happy memories, which she thought was a good sign, because a person shouldn’t just keep crying.

She took a hot shower in the bathroom.

After washing up, Xu Qianqian flipped open her test papers and looked at them for a while, doing seven or eight questions before gradually becoming sleepy. She got up to use the bathroom, came back, closed her bedroom door with a click, and turned off the lights.

Lying in bed, Xu Qianqian closed her eyes, preparing to enter the realm of dreams.

An hour later.

In the pitch-black room, Xu Qianqian suddenly sat up in bed.

"No way! Is he crazy?!"

"Ahhhh!!!!" Xu Qianqian rolled around in bed hugging the quilt, her teeth grinding, "Jiang Nian!! I’ll kill you tomorrow, just go die!"

Suddenly, she stopped rolling, froze on the bed hugging the quilt, her eyes wide open as she recalled the situation at the time.

At that time, her mind was blank, his face was face-to-face with hers, and he positioned to kiss her in the dimple area.

Even though he let go in zero point zero one seconds, the numb staff didn’t care, but...

Lunatic!! They’re all lunatics!!

Before, holding hands used to get a seven-point-five discount, who told you to upgrade the activity! Who cares about your reduced one-point discount!! Dice up your bunch of you!

She herself was also crazy to have agreed on impulse.

For a long while, Xu Qianqian lay exhausted on the bed and fell asleep spread-eagle. Staring at the pitch-black ceiling, her chest rose and fell rhythmically, still unable to calm down.

Wrapped in the quilt, sleeping on her side, Xu Qianqian suddenly felt a bit numb. Is that how a boy’s breath feels like? A bit warm, a bit... strange, indescribable.

When they were kids, they had good relations and a peck on the cheek wasn’t unusual, but the relationship had turned sour for years.

It’s fortunate it was just her cheek, otherwise, she really wouldn’t know how to face Jiang Nian.

"But... why Jiang Nian!"

She pummeled her pink stuffed toy with her fist, one punch after another, "Jiang Nian, you’re so despicable, even the earthworms have to be split in half where you walk, why!! was it him!"

.....

There was fifty-seven thousand in the account, Jiang Nian’s net worth had soared by thirty thousand, and he was in a great mood, waking up particularly early.

If there were to be a calamity in his fate, he’d like it to be a Porsche.

Humming a tune, he bought breakfast downstairs, leaving two portions at the door of Xu Qianqian’s house. Thanks to darling Qianqian, a rage earn of thirty thousand, it was like picking up money.

As for the system, Jiang Nian really didn’t think much about it.

Live, who can live better than yourself, after all, being young and loaded is what makes one happy. Who wants to gamble with life when they’ve got money, reaching the pinnacle of life by relying on the system?

Forget it, for him the system was just a cash-out game. Who knows which will come first, tomorrow or the unexpected, be comfortable for a second, it’s a second.

Not yet tasted Old Jiang’s hardship, enjoying Old Jiang’s fortune first.

The thirty thousand reward for thirty-eight-year-old Old Jiang Nian might just be enough to resolve his current predicament. But for eighteen-year-old Jiang Nian, it’s never going to be exhausted.

Bitter first doesn’t necessarily bring sweetness later; sweetness upfront is genuine sweetness, smart people enjoy the world first.

In the morning, leg workouts at the gym, Sister Zhao wasn’t there.

In the afternoon, stayed cooped up at home.

The next day, he couldn’t even get up, his legs sore as hell.

After being calm for a couple of days, Xu Qianqian seemed no different from usual. Standing at the door, she curiously glanced at him, her face showing an expression like she was looking at a weakling.

"Ugh, is that it? Can you do this, Jiang Nian."

"You don’t understand, don’t talk nonsense." Jiang Nian cautiously stood up, speaking solemnly, "This is an investment in the future, if you don’t train your legs you’ll feed your belly."

Xu Qianqian leaned against his room door, seemed to think of something, confirming nobody was home, she gave a mysterious smile.

"You know if you train legs too much you’ll want to..."

Jiang Nian’s face drastically changed, "You’re monitoring me?"

"Hah, who cares." Qianqian turned her head, went home to work on her papers, and before leaving she said, "Remind someone class tonight, don’t forget the night self-study."

Evening.

Zhenan Middle School, students lazily returned to school for the night self-study session.

A small portion of students either took leave or directly skipped the first night self-study after the three-day short holiday, Jiang Nian was not among them.

The brightly lit classroom, Olympic competition Class Three, first period break during night self-study.

He looked up and glanced around, about a dozen students were missing from the class. Some were blocked by the town shuttle route, some had taken sick leave, others hadn’t returned from travel.

The class had about half boarding students, with the two groups’ relations intermingling. Overall though, the commuters and boarding students still had more things to chat about.

The break time was bustling, everyone chatting away.

The girl in front, Zhang Ningzhi, frequently turned her head back, eagerly glancing at Jiang Nian.

He had seen Zhang Ningzhi’s National Day trip to Dali on QQ Space, just a few sporadic likes. Probably not many friends could see it, and he just happened to be within that circle.

After thinking a bit, Jiang Nian decided to entertain her for a little while.
