Chapter 743: Chapter 447 Substitute_2

At the time, Pang Jiao flipped the desk. If class president Huang Zhongfei hadn’t been present, a big fight would have been inevitable.

It was unfortunate for Wu Xiaoqi, who was sleeping soundly and suddenly found himself in a nightmare.

After that, Dong Qingfeng learned his lesson and grew from the experience, trying to say fewer offensive things that might hit someone’s sore spot.

Chen Qian said, "I did pay attention to makeup, but that’s not my intention."

"Then what’s your intention?" Dong Qingfeng asked in bewilderment.

Tang Fu was equally curious and looked puzzled.

Chen Qian, with a blank expression, analyzed like a machine: "Just now, the woman’s partner kissed her face, and the cosmetics contain heavy metals. I was thinking how many times he would need to kiss her before dying of heavy metal poisoning."

Dong Qingfeng was shocked, "Of course it was you!"

Surprised, Tang Fu thought, how can someone have such a strange idea?

Xue Yuantong had the same reaction. She fell into deep thought and imagined, "Is makeup sweet?"

Yang Sheng said, "Too much makeup is indeed not good for the skin."

Dong Qingfeng looked at her smooth, cold face and said, "With your skin, you don’t need makeup at all."

He sighed, "Youth is the best makeup."

Chen Qian seriously analyzed, "It’s not youth, it’s genetics, just look at Pang Jiao."

Thinking about the pimples on Pang Jiao’s face, Dong Qingfeng couldn’t help but feel nauseous, especially remembering the day Duan Shigang fought Pang Jiao, bursting those pimples, red, white, and yellow all came out!

You gotta be kidding me, Chen Qian, don’t disgust me like that!

...

At night, the surface of the lake reflected the colorful lights on the opposite shore. The wind swept across, creating ripples like fish scales, sparkling and momentarily beautiful.

On the shore, a few willow trees swayed in the wind as several anglers sat on small stools quietly fishing, almost blending into the night.

Xue Yuantong, with excellent vision, said to Jiang Ning:

"So many people are fishing, during the day and even at night, there’s never a shortage."

"The Huishui River Dam we live by is the same, they fish every day. Don’t they worry about fishing all the fish out?"

Dong Qingfeng was amused. He understood fishing and had often fished with elders, knowing it well.

"How could that be? After they bait the area, the water levels even rise, all these wild fish depend on these anglers!"

"Many anglers, when baiting an area, can throw in several pounds of fish feed but can’t catch many fish at all."

Xue Yuantong was amazed after hearing this. "Do they use fish feed when fishing?"

Clearly, Jiang Ning fished using only fake bait. With a flick of the rod, he’d catch a big fish effortlessly.

Seeing that the city’s top student, Xue Yuantong, had something she didn’t understand, Dong Qingfeng felt a sense of superiority, even if he didn’t excel in academics, he dominated in other areas.

He immediately started explaining enthusiastically, "Of course you need to bait the area for fishing. Without baiting, without using feed to lure the fish, how would they come over?"

"Only when the fish are attracted can you catch them, and baiting is an art with many nuances."

With clear logic, Dong Qingfeng had quite a few insights about fishing.

Xue Yuantong said, "Jiang Ning never baits when fishing."

"Catch fish without baiting?" Dong Qingfeng asked.

Xue Yuantong: "Of course."

Dong Qingfeng instinctively wanted to question, but then he thought, Xue Yuantong had no reason to lie to him. She wasn’t like Dan Kaiquan or Cui Yu, boasting nonsense just to show off.

After pondering for a moment, he smiled, "Jiang Ning, you like fishing? We should try it together sometime."

By then, the truth would naturally come to light.

Jiang Ning agreed, "No problem."

Xue Yuantong said, "Catch more snakehead fish, they taste great with tomatoes."

Dong Qingfeng just laughed it off, fishing by selecting fish species?

That was way too ambitious.

...

As they continued forward, they came closer and closer to the Wanyu District lodging.

Tang Fu glanced at the milk tea shop across the street, "I’m going to buy a cup of milk tea, how about you guys?"

Having a cup of sweet milk tea at night was very comfortable and pleasant. As for weight concerns?

With Tang Fu’s age and her usual level of activity, a cup of milk tea was a complete joke.

Yang Sheng: "Me."

Xue Yuantong tugged at Jiang Ning and, with his nod, happily said, "I’ll have one too."

Chen Qian didn’t move: "You go ahead and buy, I’ll wait here for you."

Hearing this, Dong Qingfeng felt like laughing: "You guys head over, I’ll be there soon."

When the girls headed towards the milk tea shop, Dong Qingfeng decided to give Chen Qian a lesson: "Old Chen, this isn’t right. How can you let the girls go and buy milk tea while you wait here?"

If it were him, faced with this opportunity, he would definitely offer to help, maybe even pay the bill.

You help me; I help you. Doesn’t that bring us closer?

This is the correct way to interact with girls. "Old Chen, I think you don’t understand at all!"

Chen Qian frowned, deep in thought, and said, "I got it."

"What did you get?" Dong Qingfeng eagerly awaited his response.

Chen Qian said, "I should’ve asked them to bring me a cup."

...

Dong Qingfeng gave up; he thought the young man was hopeless and should just stick with books. The beauty of young girls wasn’t something he was meant to experience.

However, Dong Qingfeng was quite loyal and perceptively remembered Chen Qian’s words, and brought him a cup of milk tea.

As they walked, sipping the milk tea, Xue Yuantong held the cold milk tea with both hands. The rich, thick milky taste cost 16 yuan for one cup, which was ridiculously expensive.

At Yuzhou Fourth Middle School, milk tea at the school gate sold for only three yuan a cup, a fivefold price difference.

If it weren’t for the travel reimbursements, she wouldn’t bear to buy it.

All the milk teas they chose were the same, all pearl milk tea.

Chen Qian drank the milk tea, biting the pearls. After a while, the milk tea was gone, but many pearls remained at the bottom.

He frowned, finding a place worth applying his scholarly wisdom.

"Have you noticed, the design of pearl milk tea has a flaw. Every time, the milk tea is finished, but many pearls are often left."

Tang Fu bit the straw and nodded. It originally was a cute scene, but paired with her six-foot stature, it lost some of its charm.

"Yes, there’s always so much wasted at the bottom."

Chen Qian said, "The solution is simple. First, we can calculate how many pearls are in a cup, then, based on the volume of milk tea, convert it. Then strictly adhere to drinking a sip, eat a certain number of pearls while consuming."

Tang Fu exclaimed, "You’re such a thoughtful guy."

Chen Qian adjusted his glasses, looking serious, with an undeniable smugness at the corners of his mouth.

After many years, someone finally understood his depth. Yes, everything in this world was his chessboard; he could use calculations to solve all problems.

Yang Sheng was a hundred times more alert than Tang Fu and said, "But it’s tricky, isn’t it? What if you accidentally drink too much milk tea and don’t get enough pearls?"

Chen Qian naturally replied, "Of course, spit it back and try again."

Tang Fu’s expression instantly changed, with a hint of disdain.

Chen Qian felt a heartache. The glory moments ago faded, and to restore his reputation, he continued brainstorming.

He considered suction, but realized that even if increasing suction drew out many pearls, the amount of milk tea extracted equally increased.

Chen Qian fell into contemplation, muttering to himself, acting particularly strange with numerous formulas spilling from his mouth.

Xue Yuantong observed for a while and then shared her experience: "Actually, it’s simple. Just stir the straw while drinking."

She shook the straw, demonstrating to everyone.

Yang Sheng was even more upfront; she ripped open the membrane and triumphantly downed the entire drink.

Chen Qian saw this and felt crushed inside.

...

Nighttime, 3rd floor.

The TV in the living room played a movie. After taking a shower, Xue Yuantong lounged on the sofa, playing with her phone.

"Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning, what’s inside the aquarium?" her crisp voice rang out.

"A lot of sea creatures, like those on TV," Jiang Ning replied.

"Isn’t that fun?" Xue Yuantong hugged a pillow, feeling very happy.

"Will they attack us? I’ve heard jellyfish are really scary and poisonous."

"No, there’s glass in the way," Jiang Ning assured her.

Xue Yuantong wasn’t worried anymore: "That’s good! Tomorrow, I’m going to take lots of photos for Chuchu."

She couldn’t help but be curious about the aquarium and kept asking Jiang Ning questions.

Jiang Ning answered many of her questions, but worried he might spoil the anticipation and said: "If you want to know more, just Google it."

He guessed Xue Yuantong definitely didn’t want to use Google.

Xue Yuantong initially wanted to keep asking, but hearing what he said, she opened her mouth slightly, but didn’t speak up.

The chatter around Jiang Ning faded.

She pursed her lips, feeling a bit disappointed and stubbornly hummed:

"Of course, I know how to Google, but isn’t your answer faster!"

Jiang Ning teased her, "So you’re using me as a Google substitute?"

Xue Yuantong, thinking he misunderstood, said with grievance: "No, I’m not... I just wanted to chat with you."
