Chapter 247: Fragrance Scene
Next to the Plum Garden is a main campus road. At the main entrance of the garden, on the side of the main road, there are two three-story-high sycamore trees planted.
The girl was leaning sideways under the paulownia tree at this moment.
She was wearing a simple light pink sports short-sleeved shirt with a white tennis skirt, a black camera hanging on her chest, a high ponytail, and black-framed glasses on her high nose bridge.
She lowered her eyes and stared at her toes. She had waited for so long that she seemed to blend into the background. A breeze blew over, messing up her fringe and sticking it to her cheeks.
This is Minmin.
Wen Nan thought that she looked so familiar, and he felt that he had seen her somewhere, but he couldn't remember where.
Wen Nan walked forward quickly, "Minmin, I'm really sorry, I was delayed by something and came late."
Minmin raised her head, slowly opened her eyelids and looked at Wen Nan.
After all, he was late for too long and was somewhat in the wrong. If the other party blamed him, Wen Nan decided to accept it all and not talk back.
However, the emotion revealed in the eyes of the person opposite who looked at Wen Nan was something Wen Nan had never expected.
What kind of emotion was that? Wen Nan couldn't tell. He felt very unfamiliar.
I always feel that there is a deep ocean hidden in the other person's pair of glass-like pupils, and the moment he sees Wen Nan, huge waves are about to surge up.
The other person's thin lips opened slightly, as if he wanted to say something to Wen Nan.
But his lips moved, and the words were never spoken.
The storm in his eyes was ultimately unable to burst out, and was blocked by the other party behind a pair of cold lenses.
"It's 9:32 now," Minmin, who had returned to normal, said in a calm tone, "You are one hour and two minutes late."
Wen Nan smiled, suspecting that the emotions he had just read from the other person's eyes were due to his over-imagination.
"Sorry, I was delayed because of something urgent."
"Urgent matter?" Minmin asked in a flat tone, "Urgent matter in the land of gentleness?"
Wen Nan was choked and looked at the other party suspiciously.
Minmin lowered her eyes and explained casually, "It is said that a certain romantic and dashing campus man never returns home at night and tastes the flower dew all over the ground. I thought it was you."
There is such a rumor? Is it about him? That can't be true. He has never tasted any flower dew in this copy until now. He has only tasted the ones he brought with him.
And even if Wen Nan really tasted it, why would the other party be angry with him because of this? Because he delayed the progress of the big project they were working on together?
But it was already late, and if he continued to dwell on whether Wen Nan had a one-night stand, it would be impossible to turn back time. Wen Nan glanced at the plum garden next to him and changed the subject: "What do you need me to do for this major assignment?"
Minmin raised the camera in her hand and handed it to Wen Nan.
Wen Nan raised his hand to hold the camera, and their fingertips touched inadvertently.
9527: [Successfully contacted the target, unlocking the target information for you——]
[Name: Wu Min (Minmin)]
[Identity: Classmates of Biology Department, College of Life Sciences, T University]
[Introduction: Minmin is your classmate. Although there are less than 30 people in your class, after three years of being classmates, Minmin and you have had very little communication.
In fact, it's not just you. Minmin also rarely interacts with other classmates. She always keeps to herself, does not participate in any club activities, and has few friends in her private life.
She is not afraid of socializing because of her introverted personality. She simply feels that useless socializing and false friendships are a waste of time and energy.
In fact, most of the time, the so-called classmates and friends will only affect the speed at which she completes the task.
Minmin knows that she is different from other people around her because she has a mission that she must complete. It is a task she has been working towards all her life. In order to achieve her goal, she will do anything at all costs and will not stop for anyone or anything.
In order to achieve her ultimate goal, she wrapped her heart tightly in a hard shell.
However, not long ago, an accident caused her originally firm and solitary steps to begin to waver.
The hard outer shell of her heart began to crack and was about to fall apart.
Of course, she wouldn't tell anyone about these things.
Minmin, who was used to bearing it alone, glued the broken shell together again and continued on the road to her goal.
But after taking just two steps on this road, she was stopped by you, the guy who kept causing her all kinds of pain.
The major assignment for this semester's botany course requires students to complete the construction of a digital botanical library for the T University campus under the guidance of the teacher. Students are divided into groups of 2-4 people, and each group is assigned to an area on campus. Team members are responsible for taking photos of all the plants in the area, recording their locations, and categorizing them.
Minmin and you are in the same group, responsible for the Meiyuan area.
You agreed with her to meet at Plum Garden at 8:30, but when you arrived, it was already past 9:30.
The moment she saw you, Minmin was overwhelmed with emotions...】
【Faction: To be unlocked.】
After reading the lengthy introduction, Wen Nan fell into deep thought.
He turned his head and looked at the person next to him, the face that was so close to him, with a scrutinizing gaze.
Minmin should have also obtained Wen Nan's identity information. If nothing unexpected happened, what she saw was a bunch of asterisks in a hidden state.
However, the other party did not show any surprise or confusion. He just pressed his finger on the page-turning button of the camera and showed the photos to Wen Nan one by one.
There, nearly a hundred pictures were recorded using very professional botanical photography techniques. The corresponding number in the lower right corner of each picture was included in a record book in her hand, and the location coordinates, morphological description, and possible family, genus, species and subspecies names were written in detail.
"The Plum Garden is an ornamental botanical garden at T University. The only woody plants in it are plum trees. The rest are herbs, vines, and mosses. There aren't too many species, so it's easy to collect them. Before you came over, I had already quickly scanned them all, classified them, and made a simple record."
It is said to be a "quick" and "simple" scan, but in fact, the level of detail in the record book is much higher than the final version of the major assignments submitted directly by many students.
It seems that without Wen Nan's help, the other side has successfully completed the task ahead of schedule.
"...Do you need my help with anything?" Wen Nan asked.
Minmin handed the manual to Wen Nan and said, "I need you to do one last check to verify if there is any error in the information."
Wen Nan raised his eyebrows slightly.
It sounds like you don't need his help, but force some work on him to increase his sense of participation.
Min Min noticed Wen Nan's expression and added seriously, "Don't underestimate the verification work. It's very important."
It sounds more like coaxing a child.
Wen Nan took the manual and looked at the time. There were only twenty minutes left before the time he and Lu Xiaohong agreed to talk about part-time tutoring jobs.
"I'll take the booklet with me, and after I've done the verification work, I'll exchange it with you?" Wen Nan said as he rolled up the manual and stuffed it into his body.
Minmin frowned when she saw this. "We need to verify the specific location of each plant. You can only stay in the plum garden and don't leave this area."
Wen Nan said truthfully: "But I still have to go out of school."
Minmin's face turned cold. "There are so many things going on outside right now, why are you still running around outside?"
Wen Nan was startled. He felt that the tone of the other person's speech was about the same as when his mother was taking care of him when he was a child.
"I have an appointment to discuss tutoring." Wen Nan directly explained his situation, "I need to make money. This is my mission."
In fact, Wen Nan didn't need to explain so much to the other party. After all, the two had just met and didn't even know each other's background completely.
However, even though Minmin looked a little expressionless and spoke in a cold and harsh manner, Wen Nan's intuition told him that he could trust her.
After hearing Wen Nan's explanation, Minmin fell silent.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
She seemed to have guessed the hidden meaning in Wen Nan's words. She lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then said softly, "I can help you solve the money problem. Don't run around anymore."
Wen Nan was stunned for a moment, "Can you help me get money?"
"Yeah." Minmin replied seriously.
Wen Nan smiled.
He did not doubt that the other party could really get the money, but "this is not just a matter of money. I must go to the appointment."
As a love strategy game, Wen Nan could feel that the storyline with Lu Xiaohong was very important. He didn't want to give up and was determined to unlock the plot no matter what.
Hearing Wen Nan's words, Min Min's face turned cold again, "Why do you have to make such a simple task so complicated?"
Hmm? Why does this sound so familiar? Have you heard it somewhere before?
However, Wen Nan did not have time to delve into this issue. He glanced at the time and saw that there were only eighteen minutes left before the meeting time he had agreed to meet with Lu Xiaohong.
"I have to go now," Wen Nan said, pointing to the manual, "I'll finish the verification later and give it to you."
After saying that, he raised his foot and prepared to go out. He caught a glimpse of Guan Ailin who was standing not far away. He turned around and pulled her in front of Minmin. "This is my cousin. She is not familiar with the environment here. During this period of time, let her follow you first?"
Minmin looked at Wen Nan in disbelief, "You..."
"I'm leaving now."
Wen Nan said, waved his hand, didn't give the other party a chance to refuse, and walked away directly.
Minmin looked at Wen Nan's receding back, feeling very depressed.
How could this person just hand over such an important person to a classmate he didn't know at all? Did he have any sense of crisis and precaution?
…
…
Lu Xiaohong's clothing company is two blocks away from the main entrance of T University, and it takes an average person about 30 minutes to walk there.
Wen Nan's agility was not bad, and his physical strength and endurance were also decent. He ran over at full speed and stepped into the threshold of the clothing store at exactly ten o'clock.
The clothing store is not too big, and the shelves inside are arranged very crowdedly. Each shelf is filled with clothes. It does not look like an ordinary retail store, but more like a wholesale market.
It can be seen that Lv Xiaohong's store mainly operates online business, supplemented by offline business.
Seeing Wen Nan come in, a clerk immediately came forward and asked the handsome guy what he needed.
Wen Nan directly took out Lu Xiaohong's business card and said that he was here to see Boss Lu.
The clerk must have been informed in advance. Seeing this, he immediately smiled and said, "Are you the tutor? Our boss is waiting in the warehouse upstairs. I'll take you upstairs."
I walked up a somewhat narrow staircase to the second floor. Among the piles of clothes packed in plastic bags, I saw a woman sitting on a small stool in the distance, carefully counting the goods.
At this moment, Lu Xiaohong looked far less delicate than when she got off the Maserati. She was only wearing a loose home dress with a pair of trousers. Her hair was casually pinned behind her head with a hairpin. A few strands of bangs fell down, covering her cheeks. She had no makeup on, and her face looked a little haggard, but her facial features were still delicate and her skin was fine. It was obvious that she was a natural beauty.
She was completely focused on her work, with one leg raised on which was the account book, her eyes switching rapidly between the accounts and the newly arrived goods.
"Sister Xiaohong," the clerk stepped forward, bent over and called out, "The customer is here."
Lu Xiaohong suddenly raised her head and looked at Wen Nan blankly, then froze, "Xiaojiu... so fast?"
She glanced at the wall clock instead, "Oh, it's already ten o'clock?" She stood up hurriedly, straightened her messy clothes in front of the dressing mirror behind her, took off her hair clips, and then looked at Wen Nan apologetically, "Xiaojiu, I'm sorry, a batch of goods just arrived this morning, and I was so busy that I forgot about it and didn't have time to prepare it. I'm sorry to make a fool of myself."
Her face was full of regret, and she couldn't help complaining in her heart that this batch of goods had to arrive at this time, leaving her no time to dress up properly and fail to leave a good impression on the other party.
Wen Nan smiled and shook his head, praising sincerely: "Sister Xiaohong, you are even more beautiful now."
Lu Xiaohong smiled again after hearing the compliment from the other party. She was no longer in a hurry to go to the lounge to touch up her makeup. She led Wen Nan upstairs and said to him, "Have you had breakfast? Do you want to have some more at my place?"
Wen Nan smiled and said no.
Lv Xiaohong added: "I bought this building. The second to fifth floors are warehouses for receiving and shipping goods, and my sister and I usually live on the top floor.
"Oh, I haven't told you yet, I came to you because I want you to help me with my sister's homework. She is in the third year of high school, the graduating class, and her current grades are..."
At this point, Lv Xiaohong sighed and said, "As for the price, I've checked it out. I'll give you 2,500 yuan a month if you come once a week for two hours each time. Is that okay with you?"
Wen Nan nodded and said bluntly: "No problem, but I need to advance one month's salary when I sign the contract. Is that okay with you, Sister Xiaohong?"
Lu Xiaohong was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then continued, "I have no problem with this, but can you meet my sister first? Let's give a trial lesson today. If it's suitable, we can sign a contract directly. The trial lesson hours will also be counted in the first month."
Wen Nan had no objection and nodded.
In other words, now as long as he gives a lesson to Lu Xiaohong's sister, he can get 2,500 yuan directly, and he can complete the main task in two hours.
Just as she was thinking, Lv Xiaohong opened the door and shouted into the living room, "Qingqing, the tutor I mentioned yesterday is here. You are out—"
——Bang!
Lv Xiaohong froze in the middle of her words.
I saw two girls, naked, rolling on the sofa in the living room.
