Chapter 355: Chapter 355: You Want Me to Be Your Guardian

I’ve been holding it in for so many days, and I’ve finally got my results. Everyone wants to be the first to know how much they scored.

"Xiang Nuan, Xiang Nuan..."

Li Li and Mao Xiaomei are indeed great roommates, always together. Hurry over, we found your score, they loudly said to Qin Xiangnuan.

Qin Xiangnuan didn’t feel embarrassed, since she didn’t know many people anyway.

She ran over, wanting to squeeze to the front, but she hated her own height. If she could grow as tall as Jian Zhiqing, she wouldn’t have to squeeze to the front to see her results clearly.

"Your name is right there," Li Li pointed to the notice board above, tiptoeing as she did, "You are ranked fifth in the whole school, easy to find."

Qin Xiangnuan’s gaze also moved from the back to the front, counting one by one downwards.

The top spot was definitely taken by that steadfast nerd from their class.

And her name was indeed ranked fifth, the fifth in the whole school, though saying fifth, the points difference from the first four wasn’t much, ten points behind the first, eight behind the second, and as for the fourth, she was only one point behind, such a tiny point difference.

However, she was quite satisfied with this ranking.

The top 50 students from the senior class were taken from the whole school, as her gaze moved further down, when she saw the name ranked forty-fifth, she felt a sense of helplessness.

"Xiang Nuan, she’s also here, wouldn’t it be awful if you end up in the same class?"

Li Li asked Qin Xiangnuan in a low voice, she was really worried that Li Mingyan would end up in the same class as Qin Xiangnuan, though being in the same class wasn’t a big deal since they would study separately, but she hoped they would not end up in the same dormitory. Seeing each other all the time could be tiresome, especially since seeing each other too much at school was already enough. If they lived together, Qin Xiangnuan would be suffocated.

That was exactly what Qin Xiangnuan dreaded the most, as for whether they would end up together, she didn’t know yet; she would find out when school starts. If they ended up together, she would ask Brother Jian to act as her guardian and make her not stay at the dormitory to avoid a bad mood for both, she didn’t care herself, she had time to waste, but others might not, she couldn’t possibly ruin someone else’s life.

She thought she was quite kind-hearted, actually.

It’s just that, in this world, it’s really hard to be a good person.

It’s just that, in this world, it’s really hard to be a good person.

She didn’t stay long at the school since the results were out and, after the summer break, she just waited for class division.

Hurriedly, she rushed back home, tossed her schoolbag aside randomly, and ran towards the fields.

Jian Zhiqing was the first to notice Qin Xiangnuan’s arrival. Qin Xiangyang was helping the master install large panels of glass, which was half done and seemed not too difficult. One panel followed by another was installed in no time.

"How’s it going," Qin Xiangnuan ran over and stood beside Jian Zhishen, putting her hand in front of her eyes to block the sunlight. Fortunately, the weather wasn’t too hot now. If it were a month later, one could barely go out except in the morning and afternoon.

One more today, two will be finished tomorrow.

"Do you want to build another one?" Jian Zhiqing asked her, "One costs about 2000 yuan, it’s better than having to look for people and prepare materials all over again if you decide to add more later."

yuan? I think it’s doable. Qin Xiangnuan was calculating in her mind. The greenhouses they built couldn’t be considered too big, not like other people’s huge vegetable greenhouses, they were initially planning to use plastic sheeting, which is why they made them smaller, easier to manage, and easier to clean in winter, but in the end, they made them with glass.

Glass can be used for multiple years without needing to clear snow, generally requires less maintenance, no need to patch up plastic sheets, 2000 yuan considering the quality, isn’t too much, and she wasn’t short of 2000 yuan. Just build an extra one, make it a bit bigger, just right, two small ones, and add one big one in the middle.

"Alright, let’s make another one, we have all the materials ready," Jian Zhiqing thought the same, two greenhouses could be used for small vegetable seedlings, one could be used for planting things like onions and garlic. More could actually be sold, or just given away, after all, it’s not easy to get people to come by. There isn’t much difference between two and three greenhouses, if that’s the case, then just build an extra one.

"By the way," Jian Zhiqing suddenly remembered, Qin Xiangnuan went to check her results today.

"How did you do?"

"Not bad," Qin Xiangnuan played with her fingers, it’s just that others also performed well, she was worried about sorting classes after school starts.

"What’s wrong?" Qin Xiangnuan had a hesitant, somewhat troubled look, Jian Zhiqing couldn’t be fooled, don’t forget, they grew up together.

"A bit," Qin Xiangnuan was a bit uncertain now, she moved closer to Jian Zhiqing a bit and spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear. In case her brother found out, who knows what he would say, her brother cared for her, but his way of dealing with things was rigid and blunt, not flexible, but Jian Zhiqing wasn’t like that, he could be said to be her confidant, well, more like a platonic male friend, maybe even closer.

"Brother Jian, I might need you to act as my guardian when school starts."

"Oh?" Jian Zhiqing raised an eyebrow, amused, "Do you need Brother Jian to attend the parent-teacher meeting for you? Did you do so badly that you can’t show your face?"

"No," Qin Xiangnuan shook her head, her results were very good, she was just troubled about school starting, "I just don’t want to stay at the dorm."

"You don’t want to stay at the dorm, why?" In Jian Zhiqing’s memory, Qin Xiangnuan’s personality was nearly always strong, if she faced difficulties, she usually confronted them head-on, it was rare for her to back down, so why would she back out this time?

Qin Xiangnuan resisted the urge to roll her eyes.

"Getting along with butterflies attracted by Brother Jian isn’t great, I’m afraid it might affect both parties’ studies, so, Brother Jian, you should feel ashamed."

"Oh..." Jian Zhiqing dragged out the sound, "According to you, your Brother Jian should be extremely ugly, detestable on sight, every glance makes people want to vomit, aren’t they, forcing you to witness such a miserable sight every day?"
