Chapter 66 (First published on Jinjiang Literature City)

Chapter 66 (First Release)

Jiang Chengran didn't hear clearly, or rather, didn't quite understand what she meant, and frowned: "What?"

He had never dated anyone before, and his mind was completely focused on improving his abilities, so he naturally didn't immediately realize what this meant.

Ning Wanwan felt that perhaps she had been too tactful in her words.

Too lazy to think of other lines, she simply spoke quietly according to the template Lin Ruowei had given her.

"Jiang Chengran... Someone wants to invite you to the East District amusement park. We're meeting this Saturday morning. Can you go?"

Jiang Chengran was still thinking about her previous ideas.

I must reject her! I must reject her coldly!

Wait... what did she say again?

The girl's voice was soft and gentle, like sweet cotton candy. Jiang Chengran's firm will was shattered, his brain was turned into mush, and his handsome face turned as red as blood.

This...this is a date invitation, isn't it?!

She... she actually wants to go on a date with me!

How could they be so bold! They just came up to us and asked us directly!

She hasn't even formally confessed her feelings, yet she wants to ask him out! That's outrageous!

Tsk, considering how proactive she is, I'll reluctantly give her a chance.

"Ning Wanwan, do you like me?" Jiang Chengran's feigned arrogance and indifference melted away, but he still refused to answer directly, asking with an air of superiority.

He had long heard that men who are too easily obtained are worthless and will not be cherished.

I can't let her think it's too easy for her.

Ning Wanwan paused for a moment, then honestly denied it: "No, I didn't..."

Jiang Chengran assumed Ning Wanwan was just being stubborn again, and chuckled to himself, thinking, "She couldn't wait to confess when we first met, and now she's doing this again, refusing to admit it."

That's really hypocritical.

She would be overjoyed if she agreed. Jiang Chengran thought, her cheeks burning.

"Alright, I'll reluctantly agree to your date. Don't stand me up." The red-haired boy hesitated for a few seconds before nodding in agreement.

Ning Wanwan: "..."

Ning Wanwan realized that the other party had indeed misunderstood something, and quickly explained, "No, the person who invited you on a date wasn't me..."

Jiang Chengran slowly furrowed his brows, his dark eyes fixed on her.

"Young Master Jiang, what are you doing here... Oh, isn't this the girl who brought you breakfast and roses?"

A classmate, who was also one of the rich kids who had previously been praising roses, suddenly saw the unfamiliar girl with Jiang Chengran and couldn't help but come over and start praising her as usual.

"That's wonderful! Sister-in-law, where did you buy those roses? Our Brother Jiang really loves the roses you gave him!"

"By the way, sister-in-law, which class are you in? Don't let anyone who doesn't know their place mess with you in the future."

Jiang Chengran's fair and handsome face flushed red instantly, and he gritted his teeth: "Shut the hell up! Why do you talk so much!"

Ning Wanwan felt extremely uncomfortable. That "sister-in-law" was like a thunderbolt, almost striking her soul out of her skull!

This is so awkward, so incredibly awkward! I wish I could disappear into the ground right now!

Ning Wanwan couldn't bother explaining anymore; staying here for even a second longer was torture for her social anxiety.

"I'm leaving now..." She turned and ran away quickly.

Jiang Chengran, who remained where he was, slowly looked at the rich second-generation and clenched his fist with a cruel smile.

The rich kid immediately realized that his overly enthusiastic attitude had messed things up and scared away his sister-in-law. He lowered his head and took a few steps back in fear: "Brother Jiang, I was wrong. I swear I won't do it again!"

Oh no, I'm going to get beaten up!

To everyone's surprise, Jiang Chengran didn't do anything to him: "You scared her! Don't do it again."

The rich kid who escaped unscathed quickly crawled back into the classroom.

Jiang Chengran was in a good mood and found it quite novel.

Although he looked down on the weaklings around him and didn't think that calling someone "sister-in-law" was something they should use, but—

Hehe, hehe.

Speaking of which, my older brother will soon have a younger sibling. Such an important matter, shouldn't I inform him first so he can practice how to address them?

Anyway, my own brother is definitely going to be alone forever, so I don't need to practice calling him sister-in-law, haha.

...

Because of the interruptions and gossip from other classmates, Ning Wanwan was unable to explain things clearly to Jiang Chengran on the spot.

After much thought, she still felt that things had reached the final stage, and Jiang Chengran at least had the right to know that the person he was dating on Saturday was not her.

Of course, the main reason was that she was afraid Jiang Chengran would cause trouble later... At that time, she estimated that the other party's anger would be extremely severe.

After all, nobody likes to be played.

[But host, what if he finds out and then doesn't go?]

"Then we'll have to think of another way... Ask him to do something to make it look like this. If he goes to the amusement park with Lin Ruowei, would that put the story back on track?"

It should be counted.

Ning Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

Initially, Ning Wanwan used various roundabout methods because she was eager to fix the problems, but she wasn't sure if Jiang Chengran's personality would be helpful. However, after getting to know him, she feels that... the success rate is actually quite high.

In that case, Ning Wanwan would naturally want to choose a safer method.

The next day, Ning Wanwan told Lin Ruowei about her plan.

Lin Ruowei: "...You mean, you need to clarify who the person who contacted him is?"

“Hmm…” Ning Wanwan said, “I can do those things for you before, but it’s better to be clear about things like dates.”

At first, Ning Wanwan was fooled by Lin Ruowei, but later she realized that Lin Ruowei probably wanted to shift the blame onto her, which is why she made the request to "not say who invited him."

As someone who had been blamed by Lin Ruowei, Ning Wanwan was moved but refused.

Lin Ruowei: "..."

Lin Ruowei's face was very unpleasant: "I won't say. Even if you took my money, you're not allowed to say anything."

Ning Wanwan: "...I haven't received the money yet."

Ning Wanwan: "Besides, even if you don't say it now, he'll find out eventually anyway."

Lin Ruowei still refused.

Ning Wanwan pursed her lips and suddenly asked, "Are you... thinking that if Jiang Chengran gets angry, you'll shift all the blame onto me?"

Lin Ruowei: "..." Her expression changed, clearly she had been right.

Since Ning Wanwan had guessed it, and probably fearing that she might expose the matter in a more drastic way in a fit of anger, Lin Ruowei agreed.

He also wrote her a date invitation.

Very formal, a beautiful pink envelope, high-quality paper, a faint fragrance—it's practically a love letter.

"Consider it as making up for the lost love letter. Go and deliver it," Lin Ruowei said reluctantly.

Ning Wanwan saw that the letter inside was signed Lin Ruowei, and that she had personally put it into the envelope.

“I will send it over,” Ning Wanwan replied.

Ning Wanwan didn't linger. She took Lin Ruowei's invitation letter and went to Class One to find Jiang Chengran, but she couldn't find him.

"It seems like Young Master Jiang had something come up; he wasn't here for the previous few classes, and we don't know when he'll be back..."

After learning about the situation, Ning Wanwan was somewhat anxious, carrying this important invitation, but there was nothing she could do since Jiang Chengran wasn't there.

"Thank you, classmate," she said softly, somewhat disappointed.

"It's nothing, it's nothing." This student from Class One had long been incredibly curious about Ning Wanwan, the girl who could cause Jiang Chengran and Zhou Yanyao to fight. After all, such an amazing girl had previously been completely invisible.

Her classmate hadn't left. After holding back for a moment, she finally couldn't resist leaning over and whispering gossip, "I wanted to ask, are you dating Young Master Jiang? Don't worry, I definitely won't tell anyone..."

If they really are dating, that would be explosive news!

“…Ah…” Ning Wanwan was momentarily stunned, then quickly denied it, “No, there is absolutely no such thing.”

The other party didn't believe him. If it were Jiang Chengran here, he would never dare to ask such a question. But seeing that Ning Wanwan had an exceptionally good personality and didn't lose her temper, he couldn't help but push his luck, "Really not? Tell me the truth."

Young Master Jiang seems to have pretty good taste.

Everyone was initially puzzled as to why he would fall for such an ordinary, unremarkable girl.

But looking at it now, it actually seems quite cute...

Ning Wanwan, who was being relentlessly questioned, felt that the other person's gaze was becoming increasingly strange: "..."

Zhou Yanyao was sitting in the classroom, forcing himself to keep a straight face and staring at a point in the void, seemingly unaware of what was happening outside the classroom.

However, as the girl spoke with her classmate, revealing a troubled and wary expression, and as the classmate unknowingly moved closer and closer, Zhou Yanyao's expression grew increasingly grim.

He suddenly stood up and strode out of the classroom.

Qi Lin glanced at him, narrowed his dark eyes, and remained silent, as if it were expected.

Just as the student was about to press the girl for more questions, he suddenly felt a tightness around his neck and collar.

"Hey, Zhou Yanyao, what are you doing!"

"I also want to ask you what you're doing." Zhou Yanyao, his face dark, grabbed his classmate by the collar without hesitation and shoved him aside. "Can't you see you're bothering him?"

The classmate wanted to argue and refute a few more points, but seeing Zhou Yanyao's tall physique and dark complexion, he swallowed hard and walked away sheepishly.

Ning Wanwan looked up at him and said softly, "Thank you."

The girl's eyes were clear and calm, like a still lake. Zhou Yanyao grunted in response without saying anything more, and walked straight to the end of the corridor, clearly acting as if he was just going to the restroom and helping her out on the side.

Zhou Yanyao still remembered that Ning Wanwan had lied to him.

If it were just a normal matter, Zhou Yanyao would have forgiven her without hesitation, but she had just promised him that she didn't like Jiang Chengran, and then she personally sent roses to Jiang Chengran...

"A liar," Zhou Yanyao thought to himself.

I felt a little angry and a little wronged.

And if I just leave like this, will I really not say a word in explanation? At least try to persuade me to stay, or say something more.

Ning Wanwan watched Zhou Yanyao stride away without looking back, and what she was thinking was—

"Zhou Yanyao is in such a hurry that he can't even speak. He must be in a hurry to go to the toilet, right? Then I won't keep him any longer."

The system, silently observing: [...]

Ning Wanwan became somewhat uncertain: "Isn't that right?"

System: [Yes, host. He just needed to pee urgently after holding it in for so long. A man who can't hold it in so long clearly has kidney problems.]

The system emphasized the three words "kidney problems".

Anyone can see through this trick; isn't it just that she's deliberately acting unhappy so that the host will take the initiative to coax her?

The system will not allow this scheming man to succeed!
