Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Everything Went Dark
Jiang Nian felt a bit awkward; he had just told Li Qingrong that he didn’t like playing on his phone.
But the next second, the phone in his pocket started ringing.
"Actually... I’m using my phone critically."
Li Qingrong turned her face to the other side, her trembling shoulders gave her away.
No way... Is your laugh threshold that low, class president? You don’t mind if I sell this secret to someone else, right?
Jiang Nian turned his head, trying to distract himself, looking towards the basketball court.
Li Hua stood on a stone bench, pointing towards him and shouting something loudly. It was too far to hear clearly, but it seemed like the word "father" was involved.
Such filial piety, I’ll reward him with a stepmom some other day.
The moment he stepped into the cafeteria, ding ding ding, the school bell rang right on time. Two minutes later than the estimated six minutes, indeed, a woman can affect the speed of drawing a sword.
He shouldn’t be here; he should be in the heart of the cafeteria lady.
At the cafeteria entrance, under Li Qingrong’s slightly surprised gaze. Jiang Nian almost without hesitation, bolted away.
"Sis, that eggplant!" Jiang Nian shouted urgently.
Li Qingrong pursed her lips, holding the tray and serving food, suddenly saw a swarming crowd rushing towards the cafeteria entrance.
Freshmen and sophomores, each holding a book. Bang bang bang, as soon as they entered, everyone assumed their roles.
One person placed books to reserve seats, while the others queued up. In less than ten seconds, all around the cafeteria seats were colorful books.
The line stretched outside the cafeteria, still crowded with people.
Li Qingrong was slightly dazed, eating in the cafeteria for the first time. She hurried to find a seat after realizing, otherwise, she’d really have to eat standing up.
Although she didn’t mind, it would still be awkward.
Instinctively she searched for Jiang Nian’s figure, but found a junior girl was faster, running towards Jiang Nian with two books in hand.
Jiang Nian’s seat was by the window, theoretically a prime seat. The junior girl regrettably felt embarrassed to place books opposite Jiang Nian and had to put two books down at the other end of the long table.
Li Qingrong breathed a sigh of relief and sat down opposite Jiang Nian.
Jiang Nian curiously glanced at her.
"No seats left," Li Qingrong said calmly, beginning to eat quietly.
"Oh, no worries." Jiang Nian wasn’t that narcissistic, just curious why she moved so slowly, "The cafeteria is like this, class president, next time you..."
He suddenly realized that Li Qingrong wouldn’t often eat in the cafeteria and became too lazy to continue speaking.
No next time.
"Next time what?" Li Qingrong suddenly asked.
"Huh?" Jiang Nian was taken aback, how did this follow up, next time can I go to your house for a meal, baby?
"Uh... nothing, it’s just really crowded in the cafeteria."
Yu Tongjie rarely ate in the cafeteria; after gym class was dismissed today, he didn’t play basketball or soccer but found a shady corner to memorize words.
He had already asked his cousin who got into a 985 university and found out that there was no such thing as complete memorization of English words. Memorizing them well indeed helps, but nobody would be foolish enough to memorize them all.
This statement instantly gave him confidence, Jiang Nian must have been bluffing. Since his opponent wasn’t invincible, it meant there was a health bar, not undefeated.
He swore to wash away the humiliation from last time, memorize words well, and score 140 at the end of the month to defeat Jiang Nian.
Who knew he accidentally overstudied, and when he came to, school had already ended.
Going home would waste too much time; he might as well eat in the cafeteria. The saved time could still be used to memorize his words; he even silently memorized words while queuing and holding the tray.
Once he turned his head, he faced the same problem of no seats.
Yu Tongjie valued face. The incident in class last time had driven his dignity to the lowest point, unable to withstand more blows.
So, he memorized words while walking around the cafeteria looking for a seat.
Unfortunately, people who valued face couldn’t get a seat in the cafeteria; he just found a seat when suddenly, a dark-skinned sports student ran over to take it.
Tsk, a gentleman uses words, not fists.
He ran to the other side to find a seat, just found a good spot when suddenly seven or eight girls came running from somewhere. Whoosh whoosh whoosh, each placed a freshman textbook, occupying them all.
Finally found a seat, just about to sit down when a beautiful freshman girl said.
"Hey handsome, you’re tall and handsome, can you let me have this seat?"
The senior’s face turned red, and Yu Tongjie forgot to memorize words, stammering.
"Okay..."
After wandering for so long, the food had turned cold.
People were still pouring into the cafeteria entrance, inhaling and exhaling freshmen, sophomores, and juniors; saying it this way seemed a bit racy. Anyway, Yu Tongjie had no seat and stood in the middle of the corridor like a fool.
Until he heard a girl shout, "Let’s go, let’s go, back to the dorms to wash our hair."
Yu Tongjie suddenly sighed inwardly and walked towards the sound. His legs weren’t tired, just felt like everyone around was staring at him, couldn’t take it mentally.
He lifted his foot to walk over, sidestepping to let the seat open. Just about to sit down, he saw two familiar people sitting at the now-vacant window seat that had been hidden by the crowd.
Li Qingrong... and Jiang Nian!
Yu Tongjie froze like he had been pressed with a time-stop button. He and Li Qingrong knew each other long ago, being in the same class during middle school, and their families occasionally mingled during New Year’s.
He saw Jiang Nian almost finished eating, pulling out his phone with a reverse hand, and Li Qingrong’s brows slightly furrowed.
"The school doesn’t allow phones."
Upon hearing this, Yu Tongjie couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Indeed, Li Qingrong was too rigid; she couldn’t possibly have feelings for Jiang Nian. Most people couldn’t endure Li Qingrong’s rigid personality, and it’s a plus if they don’t fall out.
Who knew Jiang Nian wasn’t awkward at all, nor did he put the phone away, saying seriously.
"I really can’t stop playing on my phone. In fact, I have severe anxiety. As soon as I’m away from my phone, I start thinking about my terrible and failed life."
Hearing this, Li Qingrong, remembering Jiang Nian transferred up from the lower class, a hint of apology appeared on her face.
"Sorry, I didn’t know you..."
Jiang Nian revealed a sad smile, "It’s okay, I’m used to it."
Yu Tongjie’s smile disappeared from his face, what the hell! Such a blatant lie, why don’t you expose him! You just believe it? What’s going on?
Li Qingrong lowered her head, her face showing more apparent apology.
"I’m sorry."
Jiang Nian was about to say something teasing when he turned his head and saw the eavesdropping kid. His gaze swept over Yu Tongjie, showing doubt, gradually typing a question mark.
"Classmate, you look familiar?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Tongjie felt blocked in his heart, wanted to leave but found no seats outside. He had to face Li Qingrong’s gaze and awkwardly sit on the other side.
He didn’t enjoy his meal at all, even suspecting if the cafeteria chef had lost his sense of taste. Why did this meal taste like a Qingming Festival special, flavorless as wax?
He didn’t know when Jiang Nian and Li Qingrong left, but he walked towards the tray return area with a gloomy mood.
A familiar sweet voice came to his ears, like the freshman girl who called him handsome.
"Hey, today’s luck was good, bumped into a senior old toad giving me a seat."
Yu Tongjie suddenly saw black in front of his eyes.
