Chapter 317: Chapter 279 You Actually Want to See It, Don’t You_2

Logically speaking, there shouldn’t be any more messages at this point. But after a minute, the phone suddenly received a message from Xu Qianqian.

"You actually want to see it, don’t you?"

Late at night.

Jiang Nian in the room instantly sat up straight from the bed, completely hooked by this single sentence.

His heart skipped a beat, feeling slightly breathless.

He pondered for a moment; this was a paradox. If he said he really wanted to see it, Xu Qianqian would definitely call him a pervert and then stop responding.

If he said he didn’t really want to, she’d think he was just pretending.

Then there would be no need to stop, the conversation would end right there.

On the other side, Xu Qianqian was almost done with her shower.

The steam in the bathroom concealed her graceful figure. Her hair was tied up and covered by a shower cap, her back smooth and white under the light.

She hadn’t heard her phone ring but thought that if Jiang Nian said he wanted to see, she could justifiably tease him before bed, then stop.

She could still sleep well and be happy going to school in the morning.

She would just need to test his resolve slightly the next day to see if he was feeling weak in the knees, dizzy, and had ringing in the ears that night.

If Jiang Nian refused, she would simply ignore it.

Sending a picture of a toenail or a toy to imply he was overthinking would feel like saying "there is no silver in this place," it’s too much like baiting.

She wouldn’t reply at all, leaving him to toss and turn all night.

Letting him wonder if he really missed some opportunity, then messaging like a clown in the middle of the night... "Are you asleep?"

Thinking of that scenario, Xu Qianqian chuckled.

Got him, the naive boy.

After a while, the phone buzzed.

Xu Qianqian was getting dressed and ignored it. In such cold weather, unless it’s big news, she wouldn’t trouble herself to check the messages.

Obviously, Jiang Nian’s messages were... not very substantial.

She dressed warmly and then took her phone from the rack to glance at, Jiang Nian had sent a long paragraph.

"The small window sizzles in the bright, scorching summer I miss the most... blah blah, look at yours."

Xu Qianqian: "...."

Jiang Nian always manages to come up with refreshingly new yet... indescribable takes.

Over there, Jiang Nian was also waiting.

With a buzz, Xu Qianqian’s reply arrived.

He eagerly opened WeChat, and saw only two words.

"No way."

Jiang Nian fell back on the bed, feeling itchy all over from those two words. He thought to himself that there’s just a teasing "no" between not giving and giving.

But quickly, he realized it was the clever little trick of a bad woman.

Trying to keep him awake, huh?

He thought about it, people should have their own rhythm, and switched to chatting with Chen Yunyun instead.

As long as you switch gears quickly, you won’t be hooked.

.....

Hu Nianzhong didn’t sleep all night, his eyes bloodshot by daybreak.

Gone.

The original two thousand six hundred, and one thousand four hundred profit... all gone.

Watching the software numbers climb but unable to withdraw, clicking withdraw, it said the withdrawal date was changed to Sunday midnight.

Immediate withdrawal requires a fee, or depositing more funds until a certain balance need for immediate withdrawal is met.

How could he not understand, the platform was shutting down.

No need to wait until next Sunday, they’d disappear this week. Many hopeless investors would throw in their last hope.

It’s like hitting a wall.

Exactly as Jiang Nian predicted, without a flaw.

Hu Nianzhong looked at the four thousand under his pillow, subconsciously counted with his fingers.

Imagining if he had left immediately after yesterday, only to come back at night to find his money gone.

What would he do? Collapse... or...

He felt chills down his spine with this thought, his gratitude towards Jiang Nian grew, and he suddenly lost interest in attending class, just wanting to go home.

Return the money to Yu Tongjie, use the rest for household needs.

See his parents, and pay respects at the local temple’s Lord of Fortune.

Thinking this, he packed his schoolbag simply, wrapped the money in layers of plastic bags, three red bags in total.

He packed two clothes, and put bus fare in his left pants pocket.

He put the bag in front of him, slipped quietly out of bed, and without bothering to wash up, dressed silently and moved to the dormitory door.

Before leaving, he glanced back at the dormitory, the window shadowed in white mist, dawn lightly breaking.

He couldn’t help but think, if his roommate saw him as a scarecrow this morning, would they be surprised?

Hu Nianzhong took a deep breath, gently pulled the bolt, and stepped out.

The hallway’s cold wind made him shiver. His brain cleared while his body shivered uncontrollably.

Clearly, he wanted to live, but if that had happened yesterday, would he have handled it well?

The answer may be known only to the heavens.

It was still dark outside as he walked down the stairs, cold wind seeping through his pant legs, hopping a few steps at a time, his posture stiff.

The dormitory opened its door at five-thirty in the morning.

The old man occasionally slept in, opening at five forty-five sometimes. But most of the students who liked morning runs would bang on the door.

Luckily, it was open.

Hu Nianzhong walked straight out, turning towards the North Gate. Through the dark alley with plastic awnings overhead, arriving at the bus stop to wait.

A thick fog settled, with distant streetlights still on, faintly hearing the rhythmic sweeping of sanitation workers, steam at the bun shop rising in bursts.

At six-fifteen, there is a bus directly to Youshui Town.

Gradually it brightened, and the streetlights turned off at six in the morning.

The bus honked approaching from afar, stopping at the station... not really a station, just a metal sign with red letters.

The bus had dim lights inside, reeking with a sweltering stench, making people nauseous.

The conductor glanced lazily at the boarding student, then at the empty street, said nothing, and scooted back into the chair.

Fares usually collected after leaving town and some people board.

Hu Nianzhong found a middle seat, although he hadn’t slept all night, he rested in the chair without a bit of drowsiness.

He watched the rapidly retreating street outside, editing an absence note for homeroom teacher, Lao Liu. Something about family affairs... and added a line.

[I’m already on the bus home...]

After sending it, he immediately felt better. After some thought, he also added Jiang Nian as a friend in the class group to express his gratitude.

Maybe gained more than lost.

Outside, sunlight pierced through the thin fog, casting a golden hue over old buildings, like dressing the cold world in a soft golden coat.

And he, on his way home.

A line popped into his mind, "The boat sails lightly, the wind gently blows the clothes; asking the traveler where to next, lamenting the dawn’s dim light."

...

"Damn, it’s so cold." Jiang Nian got up and put on a thicker coat, still with his early routine wash up, "Who the heck added me early in the morning?"

Oh, it’s him.

Jiang Nian accepted the friend request, seeing the thank you message too.

He was about to reply, but the other person sent a photo from out the car window.

"[Image] I’m going home."

Jiang Nian: "????"

He sent a few question marks, thinking who the hell sends such messages this early. Just because you don’t have class doesn’t make you special, who’d envy that?

Damn, annoying, might as well delete it.

After cleaning up, Jiang Nian left, and upon entering the classroom found something on the instructor’s desk.

"Hua?"

Li Hua was getting a basin to clean the blackboard, hearing him, he turned and saw it was Jiang Nian, he couldn’t help but be stunned.

"Whoa, you’re here so early?"

"Crazy! Telling me not to study too hard, but you’re secretly getting up early!"

Jiang Nian was a bit embarrassed, he indeed thought about that.

"Shouldn’t I ask you? Sneaking here early, to meet Fangfang is it?"

Only three people were in the classroom, two guys and a girl.

Huang Fang sitting at the back doing homework heard this and couldn’t help but look up at the two idiots on the podium with an expression of disbelief.

"Why are you talking about me?"

"Isn’t it true?" Jiang Nian said while carrying his bag to the back, "Caught with an early date, a little group romance, right?"

"Chi Shi Chi Shi Chi Shi!!" Li Hua couldn’t be bothered and took out a plastic bag from his coat, revealing rags for the classroom.

"I got up early just to clean the board, unlike you doing nothing all the time."
