Chapter 64: Jiang Jinnan
Gu Xing and his friends sat at the table in front of Xu Yihuan.
Xu Yihuan squinted and strained her ears to listen to the conversation in front of her.
"Xingxing, you're amazing! Even our editor-in-chief said your writing style is something we can imitate, especially after the story about the top scorer in the college entrance exam the other day."
"It was just good luck. To be honest, that was actually Lu Ran who... threw it at me."
Gu Xing spoke softly, and Xu Yihuan could only hear him intermittently and not clearly, so she tried to lean forward.
Perhaps it was Xu Yihuan's hard work that moved Tan Zhixu.
Tan Zhixu, in a fit of kindness, suggested, "How about I switch seats with you?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Yihuan immediately stood up without hesitation.
Seeing Xu Yihuan's actions, Tan Zhixu raised an eyebrow.
I reluctantly stood up and switched places with her.
Sure enough, I could hear much more clearly across the table.
"Yes, my boss recently assigned me a new task: to stake out Mengjian."
"I'm going crazy, really."
Gu Xing said these two sentences calmly, which seemed like a compromise, but in reality, he had no other choice.
"Who is Meng Jian? Does she think I can just sit here and wait for her?"
Gu Xing's friend burst out laughing upon hearing this.
"Don't be too sad. Although he assigned you an impossible task, he also assigned Lu Ran an easy one!"
"How can this not be considered treating everyone equally?"
Gu Xing's lips twitched, but he couldn't muster a smile.
"That idiot even gave me a timeframe, saying it was from the 15th to the 18th. He wanted me to wander around the streets every day for those four days, trying my luck."
"I think Lu Ran has smeared his brain with shit!"
Since they were all working-class people, Gu Xing's friends also joined in the complaints after hearing this.
"My God, it's already 35 or 36 degrees outside. I can forgive you for sending me out on fieldwork, but instead you're doing all this fancy stuff."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yihuan lowered her eyes, seemingly lost in thought.
In her past life, she only knew the location of Old Master Meng's accident, but she didn't pay attention to the time.
Well, Gu Xing really did me a big favor!
Today is the 11th, which means that starting the day after tomorrow, she'll have to take Sheng Yuhuai out every day to try her luck!
After Xu Yihuan figured it out, she stood up abruptly.
She needs to start preparing now!
Otherwise, what if that old dog Jiang Jinnan beats him to it one day?!
"I have something to do, so I'll be going now. See you next time."
Tan Zhixu, who had barely sat down before being forced to meet again, said, "...Okay."
Xu Yihuan turned around and walked out very quickly.
The coffee shop was quite spacious, and for some reason, Xu Yihuan accidentally stepped on a man's foot in the aisle.
The man was wearing a black T-shirt and white pants, an unusual combination, but it looked surprisingly harmonious on him.
His exposed skin was sickly pale, and a baseball cap covered his head, obscuring his features and giving him an overall gloomy appearance.
Xu Yihuan was in a hurry to get back and didn't notice him. She just quickly apologized, "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry."
"It's nothing." His voice was deep and magnetic, with a hint of pleasure in it.
Xu Yihuan didn't think much of it after hearing this and turned to leave.
Tan Zhixu noticed that something was wrong.
He paused in his steps behind Xu Yihuan.
Her gaze suddenly fell on the man.
For reasons unknown, the man slowly raised his head.
The pair of dark pupils hidden under the brim of the baseball cap met Tan Zhixu's gaze directly.
A provocative smile curled at the corner of his lips.
...
Sheng Yuhuai had no idea what had gotten into Xu Yihuan lately.
I take myself for a walk around the riverside road every day.
And it was all during the hottest afternoon.
After being dragged out the door like a dog for the 10086th time, Sheng Yuhuai finally couldn't take it anymore.
"Four days, Xu Yihuan!! Four days!! What the hell do you want from me?!"
“They take me out to sunbathe every day; other people know to walk their dogs at night!”
Sheng Yuhuai raised his hand in protest.
Xu Yihuan was also surprised that although Gu Xing mentioned the 15th to the 18th, she never saw him every time she came.
Does it really have to be the last day of the week?
Xu Yihuan chuckled twice: "Actually, I just wanted to come out and exercise, get some sun and supplement my calcium intake."
Sheng Yuhuai rolled his eyes and turned to leave.
"You should take your own calcium supplements. I'm going back to the air-conditioned room."
Xu Yihuan immediately grabbed Sheng Yuhuai's shirt from the back.
Grit your teeth.
"Just this once! The last time!"
What is destined to happen will happen eventually. If it really doesn't work out, then so be it. Just make sure he attends the apprentice-acceptance banquet on time.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Yuhuai immediately turned around happily.
"Fine! You said it yourself!"
Xu Yihuan understood Sheng Yuhuai's thoughts and punched him lightly.
"You tricked me?!"
"How can that be? You clearly said it yourself."
After walking for a while, Xu Yihuan casually glanced at the road.
A person could be vaguely seen lying on the ground about 400 meters ahead.
!!
Xu Yihuan's eyes lit up instantly!
We've finally arrived!
He quickly grabbed Sheng Yuhuai and ran over.
What's your rush?
"Can't you see someone collapsed over there? Go and help them!"
Upon hearing this, Sheng Yuhuai squinted at his nearsighted eyes and took a look.
"Damn! There really is someone here."
After running a short distance, the two suddenly realized that there seemed to be someone there, but the person was standing under a tree and they couldn't see clearly.
The two stopped in their tracks as if on cue.
Xu Yihuan frowned.
What's going on? Nobody beat them to it in the previous life?
Sheng Yuhuai squinted his nearsighted eyes in disbelief.
"Damn! What's Jiang Jinnan doing here?"
Xu Yihuan tried to look again, and although the facial features were not very clear, she could still make them out.
It really is Jiangjin South!
How did he end up here?
Oh no, he beat me to it!
"Didn't Jiang Jinnan get accepted into the Peking University Academy of Fine Arts? Why is he here? They should have summer camp training during the summer vacation."
Sheng Yuhuai scratched his head.
Xu Yihuan stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "What did you say?! He got accepted into the Peking University Academy of Fine Arts!"
Sheng Yuhuai nodded, puzzled: "Yeah, we go to the same school as you."
Jiang Jinnan grew up with them, but later, his family mainly developed their business in Beijing, so he moved there as well.
Ultimately, due to residency issues, Jiang Jinnan had to return to take the college entrance examination, which is why he transferred back to Yuncheng to attend high school.
By this time, their relationship had become much more distant.
Thinking of Jiang Jinnan's personality...
Xu Yihuan suddenly decided not to interfere in other people's fates.
He immediately turned and left.
"Let's go, we're not going any further. Since that person has already been rescued, let's leave first!"
Sheng Yuhuai refused this time.
He grabbed Xu Yihuan's sleeve.
"Hey, don't rush, you're already here!"
Sheng Yuhuai pulled Xu Yihuan along as they walked forward.
Just as the two reached the other side, the ambulance arrived.
The paramedics got out of the ambulance and lifted the elderly man from the ground onto a stretcher.
Jiang Jinnan stood aside, watching indifferently as if it were none of his business.
It was as if he hadn't called the ambulance himself.
Just as Xu Yihuan and Sheng Yuhuai were getting closer and closer.
Jiang Jinnan seemed to sense something and raised his head, his gaze meeting that of the two men.
Jiang Jinnan's face immediately broke into a big smile.
"Sister Yihuan, we meet again."
When Xu Yihuan saw the clothes Jiang Jinnan was wearing, she almost fainted.
Isn't this the same person she bumped into at the coffee shop last time? Except for not wearing a hat, everything else is the same.
