The next day, when Jiang Nian woke up, Xingcun Jingshi was no longer at home.
However, there was a message stating that training would start today and other work would proceed as normal. It also tactfully stated that other people had their girlfriends to pick them up, implying that Jiang Nian would pick him up after get off work.
After dinner, Jiang Nian began to complete the tasks assigned by his tutor. Before he knew it, the whole day had passed. Later he realized that he had not eaten lunch.
In the evening, Jiang Nian drove to the vicinity of Yukimura Jingshi Club, just to wait for him to get off work.
The waiting time always seemed so long, so Jiang Nian took this opportunity to go to the convenience store and buy a loaf of bread to fill his empty stomach.
Unexpectedly, I ran into Irie Kanata when I walked out of the convenience store.
Kanata Irie's interview was scheduled before Seiichi Yukimura's, so he finished the interview early. He happened to be buying a drink from the vending machine at the entrance of the convenience store, and unexpectedly met Seiichi Yukimura's wife.
Although Jiang Nian saw Irie Kanata, he didn't want to say hello. Firstly, it was because they had no intersection, and secondly, there might be paparazzi around the famous athlete Irie Kanata.
Pretending to be a stranger, everything was fine. However, Jiang Nian was stopped when he passed by Irie Zouduo.
"Yukimura-chan, do you have time to chat?"
It took Jiang Nian two seconds to realize that he was being called. He opened his lips slightly to explain that he had not changed his last name, but then swallowed the words back. There was no need to explain this to outsiders.
What came out of his mouth was: "I have to wait for Jingshi to get off work, so... I'm sorry, senior."
"Haha, it's okay." Irie Kanata insisted, "I can wait with you and talk while we wait. We can be anywhere."
Irie Kanata's smile remained unchanged: "I think this place is good."
Jiang Nian: "..." Why is it so?
Jiang Nian was in a complicated mood. He didn't answer and went straight to the car, followed closely by Irie Zouduo.
After Jiang Nian sat in the driver's seat, Irie Zouduo sat in the passenger seat almost at the same time.
Irie Kanata ignored Jiang Nian's expression, opened the Fanta he had just bought, and asked Jiang Nian: "Would you like some?"
Seeing this, Jiang Nian took out the thermos and indicated that he didn't need it.
Irie Kanata chuckled and took two big gulps of his drink, then turned sideways to look at Jiang Nian: "I'm quite envious of Yukimura. You've been waiting for him all this time."
It may seem so to outsiders, but in fact Jiang Nian really just doesn't want to waste energy on cultivating a boyfriend. Atobe Keigo is an exception. Enough money can solve most problems.
Seeing that Jiang Nian didn't explain or refute, Irie Kanata continued: "Remember Yamamoto Kazuko? Yukimura's ex-girlfriend."
After being reminded, Jiang Nian remembered that he was cuckolded by Yukimura Seiichi. He had forgotten about it originally, but now he was a little angry.
When Irie Kanata saw Jiang Nian's unhappy expression, he finally felt the long-lost joy. He thought Yukimura Seiichi would not have an easy time.
“Actually, I was there that day too. Yamamoto, An, and I slept in the bedroom, but I slept on the floor by the window.
Originally, it was Yukimura Seiichi who helped me pursue Yamamoto, but I didn't expect that it would cause him to get dumped."
After hearing this, Jiang Nian began to recall what he had seen at that time. He did catch a glimpse of a girl from the living room, but out of moral reasons he did not go into the bedroom.
At that time, Yukimura Seiichi was indeed sleeping half-naked on the sofa, but his mind was in a mess at the time, and because it had been a long time, he could not remember many details.
"Yukimura asked me to explain to you, and I agreed at the time, but I was the club's main player and had to participate in competitions one after another, so I put it on hold.
I didn't expect that a year later, Seiichi Yukimura would end up together with Yamamoto, so my explanation to you ended without any result.
What happened afterwards is not important, their breakup and so on."
It sounds understandable, but Jiang Nian feels a little confused.
"Thank you for telling me this, but I still have a few questions. Could you explain them one by one?"
"Of course." Irie Kanata raised the corners of his mouth, looking like a modest gentleman, gentle as jade.
"Although I don't answer calls from Yukimura Seiichi, I still answer calls from other people and strangers. If you want to explain, one phone call will do. Why did it take so long?"
Irie Kanata said without hesitation: "You and I were strangers at the time. It would be impolite to call directly, and I was afraid of disturbing you."
"Uh." Jiang Nian didn't expect this answer. It's just that they weren't familiar with each other yet, so why could they force a conversation?
"Okay, let's just assume you did the right thing." Jiang Nian said speechlessly, "Then why is Jingshi with Yamamoto? Doesn't he know you're pursuing him?"
Irie Zouduo didn't expect Jiang Nian to ask this question. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Maybe he blames me for making him lose his girlfriend, so he did it on purpose? Actually, I don't know."
Jiang Nian was even more speechless. This attitude definitely didn't mean he was here to help explain. "Okay, just assume Yukimura Seiichi wanted to get revenge on you. Why did they break up after less than a year together?"
Irie Kanata touched his nose, his tone revealing helplessness and confusion: "I don't know this?"
Jiang Nian: "..."
"I understand. Thank you, Senior Rujiang, for telling me." Jiang Nian pouted.
Then Jiang Nian opened the thermos and started drinking water, the temperature was just right.
A normal person would naturally leave upon seeing this, however, Irie Kanata didn't know whether his goal for today had been achieved, so he didn't dare to leave easily.
After Jiang Nian drank a few sips of water and saw that he was still not leaving, he explained: "Senior Rujiang, have you ever heard of the term 'serving tea to see off guests'?"
Having said that, Irie Kanata couldn't stay any longer and had to leave. Before leaving, he left his business card in the car: "If you have any questions, you can call me."
Jiang Nian closed the lid of the thermos cup, sorted out Irie Zouta's words, and combined them with the gossip that Nakayama Chie had told him, he came to two conclusions:
First, there must be other reasons why Irie Kanata didn't explain to him immediately. He is not a person who considers others as he said.
But he doesn't seem like someone who goes back on his word, so someone must have tried to stop him at that time. It was most likely Yamamoto and An who stopped him. After all, Yamamoto and An liked Yukimura Seiichi at that time.
Secondly, the breakup between Yukimura Seiichi and Yamamoto Wakatsuki was most likely due to Irie Kanata. Although Yukimura Seiichi was a troublemaker, he was also responsible and should not be unable to hold on for a year.
It is very likely that Yukimura Seiichi discovered the truth at that time. After all, there is no wall that is impenetrable.
It is also possible that Irie Kanata succeeded in stealing the girl away. Nakayama Chie said that Yamamoto and An later got together with Irie Kanata. At that time, Jiang Nian mocked Yukimura Seiichi harshly.
As for why Yukimura Seiichi was with Yamamoto Kazuko, Jiang Nian agreed with Irie Kanata's opinion that it was revenge.
So is Yukimura Seiichi so wary of Irie Kanata because he's afraid of retaliation or being poached?
While Jiang Nian was thinking, Yukimura Seiichi opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat. He saw Irie Kanata's business card and the Fanta pull ring at a glance.
