Chapter 83 Chapter 83 He slowly glanced at Loren and...
He slowly scanned the distance between Loren and Wen Qian, and when his gaze fell on his face, his eyes darkened.
The one from the Luo family?
Why was he alone with Wen Qian? If he remembered correctly, Chu Lingyu and Loren were very familiar with each other, right?
So Wen Qian and he knew each other simply because they went to the same school?
Seeing the two of them getting too close, Jiang Zhi looked at Loren with a colder look.
His face remained indifferent as he continued, "Wen Qian, is this your classmate?"
"They're more than just classmates." Loren raised the corner of his mouth and spoke before Wen Qian.
There was a hint of interest in his eyes, and Jiang Zhi's somewhat doubtful question went through his mind.
The first time he saw Jiang Zhi, he confirmed his identity, and he thought the other party felt the same way.
So his question...actually he wanted to confirm with Wen Qian the relationship between him and her, right?
Loren looked at the undisguised scrutiny and hostility in the other person's eyes, and had some guesses in his mind, and the curve of his mouth widened a little.
Coming to the conclusion, he immediately interrupted Wen Qian's answer.
It didn't take much thought to know what she would say. If he had been a little later, one of his classmates would have been hit by the hat.
"Can't you see?" Loren moved closer to Wen Qian. "We have a good relationship. Otherwise, why would I send Wen Qian home?"
Xiao Wen: "Hmm?"
Loren kept smiling and leaned close to Wen Qian's ear, as if whispering to her, "Isn't it true? I took care of all your self-criticisms."
Wen Qian's expression froze, and he immediately nodded heavily: "Ah, yes, we have a very good relationship!"
Jiang Zhi half-lowered his eyes to hide the irritation in his eyes. Is it possible to get so close just because we have a good relationship?
He seemed to be just asking casually, and after getting the answer, he put away his concern for the matter.
"Do you mind if I sit with you?"
“There are lots of empty tables around.”
"Thanks for the reminder." Jiang Zhi said indifferently, "But I didn't ask you."
His eyes fell on Wen Qian, and she nodded nonchalantly: "It's all right, sit wherever you want."
Wen Qian was more concerned about the noodles that Loren hadn't eaten yet, and she had been patient with it.
"Are you going to drink the batter later, Loren?" she finally couldn't help it.
"I was already preparing to eat, but didn't I just say hello to Jiang Zhi?" Loren said in a sad tone, "I didn't expect to see him here, it was a bit unexpected."
He picked up the chopsticks hesitantly and paused.
Forget it, there’s no way to avoid it anyway, just bear with it and it will pass.
Um?
Loren was a little surprised that it tasted quite good.
...Did Wen Qian really learn to cook from this boss?
"So you two know each other?" Wen Qian was a little curious about what Loren had just said.
It’s not that she was curious about the fact that they knew each other. It was very normal for NPCs to be familiar with each other. What she was curious about was that if they knew each other, why did Jiang Zhi still ask who he was.
Loren's eyelashes trembled, and he had no intention of covering up for him: "Of course, we have met before. It seems that his memory is not very good."
"It's normal to forget unimportant people."
Jiang Zhi put down the bowl and sat down opposite Wen Qian, meeting Loren's gaze.
He didn't even glance at the unimportant person he mentioned.
"Wen Qian, have you selected the photos you took earlier?" He naturally ignored Loren, who had a strong presence, and chatted with Wen Qian alone.
Wen Qian thought about it for a moment and understood what he was talking about - she had taken a lot of photos in the amusement park before.
At that time, she was planning to give one copy to each person, but just as she opened her mouth, she was stopped by Lin Huai and Zhou Zhu.
They said there was no need to take a copy of all the photos, just the photos in which each of them appeared would be enough.
It’s not that they are worried about Chu Lingyu and Jiang Zhi secretly cutting each other’s photos, they just simply don’t want their ugly photos to be circulated outside.
After they have screened out their own photos, they can divide the remaining love however they like.
Chu Lingyu and Jiang Zhi had no objection to this.
Wen Qian nodded and said readily, "Then I'll bring it to you later!"
"Hmm." Jiang Zhi raised the corner of his mouth and said casually, "I have made the cake you said tasted good before. I can try it when I come over later."
"So fast!" Wen Qian said in surprise.
It seems that her backup energy reserves are about to expand to new types!
"So this is the neighbor you mentioned before, Wen Qian." Loren said slowly, "It's a pity that you only said he was your neighbor and didn't say much more."
"Otherwise I might have recognized it sooner."
The chopsticks in Jiang Zhi's hand touched the wall of the bowl, making a slight sound, and he slowly raised his head.
Loren looked at the other person's cold eyes and said nonchalantly, "We often hang out together and we talked about it during our chats."
"Often?" Jiang Zhi said slowly, "It seems like you two do have a good relationship, but it's a pity."
"I haven't heard Wen Qian mention you much, so I don't know about this matter."
"Yeah?"
"It's okay. Even if she mentioned it," Loren said lazily, "you probably wouldn't remember it."
As if he had lost interest in chatting with Jiang Zhi, he turned sideways to look at Wen Qian and said in a long tone: "Wen Qian, I shouldn't be an unimportant person to you, right?"
"How could that be!" The player immediately straightened her attitude. Her free labor had begun to question her existence, so she had to brainwash him.
"You are very important to me!"
"How important is it?"
"unique."
Wen Qian said with confidence that this was the only non-staff member of the Environmental Protection Society, so it was perfectly fine to say that he was unique.
Jiang Zhi's fingers holding the chopsticks clenched, turning slightly white, and the hostility in his eyes was undisguised.
He rarely hates someone so much. Chu Lingyu is one of them, and now there is Loren.
Looking at the two people's shoulders that were about to touch each other, he withdrew his gaze, and his chopsticks lifted up under the action of gravity, and two drops of noodle soup spilled.
"Wen Qian, can you help me get a piece of paper?"
Wen Qian's attention shifted to Jiang Zhi: "Sure!"
She stood up slightly and pushed the tissue paper closer to her towards Jiang Zhi's hand.
When they sat down again, Loren deliberately added a little more distance to maintain their intimacy.
Wen Qian felt that these two people were eating a little too slowly. She had finished her meal, but they still had half of it left.
Why do you have so much to talk about while having a meal? Aren’t you unfamiliar with each other?
"I'm done eating." Wen Qian picked up his schoolbag and prepared to go home to continue making hair dye and contribute to the colorful campus of Holy Thorns.
"Take your time to eat, I'm leaving now."
Thinking of staying with Wen Qian for a while longer, the two of them slowed down their eating speed: ...
The smile on Loren's face gradually disappeared as Wen Qian left, and he became a little indifferent.
He raised his chin slightly, his tone unfathomable: "It seems that you have a lot of opinions about me?"
Jiang Zhi raised his eyes: "Why should I have a problem with an unimportant person."
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Loren suddenly laughed out loud: "It's better if you say so."
"There's no need to waste all that time." He stood up, one hand in his pocket, his posture lazy. "After all, no matter how much you say, you won't change her mind."
"Didn't you hear what she just said? I am unique." He raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Goodbye, my neighbor." Loren emphasized the word "neighbor".
Seeing the other person's expression suddenly turn gloomy, Loren laughed again, turned around slowly and walked out of the noodle shop.
As he walked out of the store, the smile on his face faded, and he recalled what Jiang Zhi had just said in his mind.
Is this the neighbor?
——————
Jiang Zhi took out the specially refrigerated cake and placed it on the coffee table in the living room. The screen of his mobile phone showed the message he had just sent inviting Wen Qian to come over.
She hasn't replied yet.
Jiang Zhi's brows were gloomy. He stood up and took a bottle of ice water. When he unscrewed the cap, he was still paying attention to the unresponsive chat interface.
What is she doing, chatting with Chu Lingyu or Loren?
Tsk, another classmate.
Jiang Zhi had a bit of annoyance on his face. His classmate was really a good person. He pursed his lips and cursed Chu Lingyu in his heart. Is he blind? Can't he see this?
As time passed, Jiang Zhi's heart sank a little bit.
He suddenly stood up, picked up his cell phone and walked towards the door. When he was about to open the door, the message alert on his cell phone stopped him.
——Just saw it, I’m coming over!
The depression in his heart instantly dissipated after he saw the content of the message. He tightened his fingers on the door handle and opened the door.
In the corridor, Wen Qian, who had just sent a message to his neighbor, heard the sound of the door opening and looked up in surprise.
So fast?
She quickened her pace and walked towards Jiang Zhi: "I was busy just now and didn't see the message."
"I'm fine." Jiang Zhi suppressed his inner thoughts and said softly, "I'm just worried that the cake won't taste as good if it's been sitting for too long."
"I didn't expect you could even make a cake!" Wen Qian had deep doubts about his cooking skills.
You can’t make delicious food without a recipe. What kind of weird setting is this in the game?
"It's not difficult after a little practice." Jiang Zhi said lightly.
As for those weird-shaped, collapsed, mushy, mushroom-headed cakes...it's just part of the practice.
"How does it taste?" Jiang Zhi looked at Wen Qian, his gaze falling on the corner of her lips stained with cream, his eyes dark and unclear.
“Perfect!”
The players are happy again.
Jiang Zhi chuckled, took out a piece of paper and handed it to Wen Qian. When she was about to reach out to take it, he paused and naturally avoided her hand.
"It's stained." He lowered his eyes, pressed the paper to the corner of her lips, paused for two seconds, and then wiped off the inconspicuous cream.
“Can this also be added to the daily set menu?”
"If you like."
Jiang Zhi's eyes moved, and he mentioned casually, "After hearing what you said to him today, I suddenly became curious."
He paused for two seconds, waited until Wen Qian's eyes were on him, and then slowly added the second half of the sentence.
"Wen Qian, what do you think of me?"
He leaned forward slightly, his dark eyes reflecting the outline of the person in front of him, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "Is it just your neighbor?"
The player's intuition moved.
Suddenly, there was a strange feeling that the game entered an important choice stage.
But there are no options here. Isn’t this fill-in-the-blank question a bit too difficult?
Wen Qian decided to follow his intuition. In short, it was right to praise.
"Of course you're more than just a neighbor." Wen Qian said solemnly, "Jiang Zhi, you're very important to me."
Jiang Zhi was slightly startled and twisted his fingertips: "Really..."
"Of course." Wen Qian nodded, "Irreplaceable and important."
