Chapter 39: Feng Nanshu, My Home
TL: Etude
“Yes, that’s true.”
Jiang Qin responded without much surprise. He knew very well that it must have been Ren Ziqiang who leaked the information. That sycophant, selling out his brothers just to find a topic of interest to girls, deserved to be tricked someday to learn the harshness of human nature.
“Don’t you find it embarrassing? To actually bring up such a thing?” Jiang Tian raised her doubt.
After hearing this, Jiang Qin replied with a calm face, “What’s embarrassing about failing? Just yesterday, I tried to get the cafeteria lady to give me extra meat, and I failed at that too.”
“Right, the cafeteria lady is the true unapproachable campus beauty.”
Zhou Chao, sitting in the back, couldn’t help but interject.
Hearing Jiang Qin’s words, the girls from Class 3 couldn’t help but cover their mouths and giggle, thinking how tough he was to remain defiant even when exposed.
Actually, these girls didn’t have any bad intentions. They were just too self-centered, and being just the start of the school year and rather bored, they naturally enjoyed teasing others. And since Jiang Qin was quite prominent among the boys, he naturally became their target for fun.
“Jiang Qin, do you just chase after anyone you find attractive? I even heard from Ren Ziqiang that you want to pursue our Qingqing.”
“?”
Jiang Qin turned his head in confusion, wondering if these girls hadn’t woken up properly yesterday. Were their urine not yellow enough or the taste too sweet?
Then he saw Song Qingqing standing proudly, “Let me tell you, Jiang Qin, don’t even think about it. I’m not the type of girl you can pursue.”
“Why don’t you go to the hospital?” Jiang Qin frowned and said, “No, I don’t think neurology can cure you.”
His voice was loud enough for Song Qingqing to hear, but it was drowned out by a sudden commotion. Hearing this, everyone curiously turned their attention away, no longer pondering what Jiang Qin had said.
The commotion was in the Finance Class 4, caused by a strikingly attractive girl standing up and walking towards the squad of Finance Class 3.
The loose military training uniform usually detracted from one’s appearance, but on this girl, it added a unique charm and liveliness, especially her delicate profile and high-bridged nose, dotted with sweat yet as clear as jade.
Everyone’s gaze followed the girl’s steps, filled with curiosity.
This girl was the one who had attracted attention from multiple classes during the morning assembly, the one who made Cao Guangyu mock himself for being ignorant and shattered Zhou Chao’s worldview.
The guys from Dormitory 302 watched her approach, feeling a familiar sensation on their scalps.
Wasn’t this the same feeling they had when Hong Yan appeared before them yesterday?
Cao Guangyu turned pale, thinking, “Could it be?”
And at this moment, Song Qingqing was also astonished, watching the bright girl approach the squad of Class 3, squinting her eyes in confusion.
Everyone was either squatting or sitting in their uniforms, resembling a neat field of green radishes.
In such a setting, it wasn’t easy to find someone.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Jiang Qin suddenly raised his hand, waving at her. Song Qingqing, sitting behind him, widened her eyes, unable to comprehend what was happening.
By the time she came to her senses, the girl had already gracefully approached Jiang Qin, handing him a bottle of mineral water while lightly wiping sweat from under her cap with her other hand.
“Jiang Qin, I want some water.”
“Can’t open it?”
Feng Nanshu nodded gently, then extended the bottle of water towards him a bit more.
Jiang Qin took the water, unscrewed the cap, and handed it back to her, but he was somewhat puzzled. Feng Nanshu, a rich girl trained in authentic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu from a young age, should have no trouble opening a bottle cap. Was she acting?
Feng Nanshu drank the water in small sips, her long, white neck fully exposed.
After finishing the water, she smoothed her uniform and sat down next to Jiang Qin, slightly leaning towards him.
Even after more than an hour of training, a faint fragrance lingered around Feng Nanshu, reminiscent of lilies blooming after rain, soothing and pleasant.
Jiang Qin’s gaze silently swept over her chest, thinking the military uniform did little justice, and then returned his eyes to her face, gliding over her high-bridged nose and full lips.
“How are you getting along with your roommates?”
Feng Nanshu’s eyes sparkled with joy, “They are nice people, and even took me to eat the rainbow cotton candy you forbade me to have.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qin narrowed his eyes, “Feng Nanshu, are you trying to shit talk me? Because I didn’t let you eat cotton candy, I’m not a good person?”
“I said you were a good person, but you wouldn’t let me say that you are,” Feng Nanshu replied with a pitiful look.
Jiang Qin paused, “That’s not a bad point. Don’t just give me a ‘good person card’ at random. If you have to give it, give it to someone else.”
Feng Nanshu took another small sip of water, her lips moist and rosy, “Jiang Qin, my roommates saw you yesterday. They want you to treat them to a meal.”
Jiang Qin raised an eyebrow, “Why should I treat them to a meal?”
“They said since you’re my boyfriend, you should treat them, so they’ll take good care of your Feng Nanshu throughout our four years of college.”
“Heh, the tricks of modern female college students are really something.”
Jiang Qin pondered his schedule, realizing he’d be relatively free until his website was up and running, aside from the military training and the meal he owed Hong Yan.
That meant he’d be mostly free after six in the evening.
“Then let’s pick a cooler afternoon. I’ll send you the time and place on QQ.”
Hearing this, Feng Nanshu’s eyelashes fluttered. She turned her head and quietly glanced at him, her eyes twinkling like a jade lake.
“What’s wrong? Don’t want to go? That’ll save me some money.”
“No, I’m just thinking about what I want to eat.” Feng Nanshu gently touched her chest.
Jiang Qin shifted his sitting position, letting the other half of his bottom endure the scorching ground, then said, “I’ve helped you so much; you owe me one in the future. Ever heard of ‘do not forget me in your prosperity’? You’re already prosperous, so you can’t forget about me.”
After a moment’s thought, Feng Nanshu straightened her long legs, tilted her military boots, and pointed her toes towards Jiang Qin, “I can play with your feet.”
“…”
Jiang Qin felt inexplicably moved, as if touched by her gesture.
Meanwhile, the entire playground was eerily quiet, with everyone looking at the closely seated pair, their expressions indescribably complex.
