On the high-speed train, Yukimura Seiichi and Jiang Nian sat side by side, and the others sat in the seats behind them.
"I'm not someone who can't stand losing. Don't feel bad about this." Yukimura Seiichi said softly, "I'll win back next time."
When Jiang Nian met Yukimura Seiichi, he was still thinking about how to comfort him, but he didn't expect him to be so open-minded.
Jiang Nian felt that he should learn from Yukimura Seiichi's attitude, so he decided not to be obsessed with the 100,000 yen anymore.
So he clasped his fists and said admiringly, "It seems I need to learn from you. I sincerely hope that you will work harder in the future and regain the throne."
Yukimura Seiichi chuckled a few times: "Okay."
Unlike the relaxed atmosphere between the two, the other regular students from Rikkai University sat in the seats at the back, silent and extremely depressed.
After hearing Jiang Nian's words, Kirihara Akaya asked softly, "Senior Marui, what did Oki say?"
Before Marui Bunta could say anything, he was glared at by Sanada Genichirō.
"Kirihara Akaya, you will be punished by running 100 laps when you return."
Kirihara Akaya shut his mouth in indignation.
After arriving at the destination, Jiang Nian declined Yukimura Seiichi's escort, thinking that there would definitely be some discussion about tennis.
After returning home, Jiang Nian saw his grandmother waiting for him.
Jiang Nian felt a pang of pain in his nose, and instantly felt very aggrieved.
Jiang Nian hugged her grandmother and acted like a spoiled brat for a while before saying, "Grandma, if I don't study and make money, will you still like me?"
"Of course I like it. I wish you could be more lazy." Grandma scratched Jiang Nian's nose. "I hope you can live a happy life. You don't need to be so outstanding."
Jiang Nian asked again: "Do we have enough money at home?"
"I thought you were born to love making money!" Grandma smiled. "Don't worry about money. The money at home is enough for you to grow up well."
Am I really a victim? Jiang Nian thought so.
The members of the Rikkai University Tennis Club fell into silence, and Yukimura Seiichi was particularly unwilling to accept this.
Genichirō Sanada broke the silence: "Everyone run now."
That's not necessary.
…
Jiang Nian was a little surprised when he received the caring call from his mother.
"Jiang Nian, I heard that money is more important to you than your boyfriend, right?"
Jiang Nian's brain froze when she heard this question. She felt like a scumbag in her mother's words.
"No, dear mother, where did you hear that? I am still very responsible." Jiang Nian paused, "The most important thing is that I don't have a boyfriend."
Before her mother could speak, Jiang Nian continued, "My dream is to have a conversation with Newton and Leibniz. Men are the stumbling block to my dream."
Kotoko Oshizuka said awkwardly: "Actually, I don't object to you falling in love."
"But I'm still young. I need to do what I need to do while my mind is sharp." Jiang Nian said helplessly, "Otherwise, I'll end up like Fang Zhongyong."
Jiang Nian continued, "This is a lesson for us!"
"Okay, as long as you're happy." Kotoko Oshizuka said helplessly, "Don't feel bad about money in the future, otherwise I'll be heartbroken."
"Yeah, I understand."
After ending the call with her mother, Jiang Nian was very surprised by her thoughts and couldn't help but wonder, "Am I really old?"
…
The math competition and final exams ended successfully, which also meant the arrival of spring break. After school started, Jiang Nian would soon become a student for the third year.
On the day of the holiday, Yukimura Seiichi asked Jiang Nian to meet him at the playground to discuss important matters.
Jiang Nian took the poster sample he had made earlier and waited in the playground for a whole afternoon, but still did not see Yukimura Seiichi.
As it was getting dark, Jiang Nian stopped waiting and decided to go home.
When passing by the teaching building, I saw Zhongshan Zhihui doing something suspicious.
"Mr. Zhongshan, what are you doing?"
"Shh!" Nakayama Chie said softly, "I'm following someone. It's very important."
After a moment, Nakayama Chie looked around and said dejectedly, "Oh! I lost him again."
So the two of them set out together.
"It's so late, why don't you go home? This is very abnormal." Zhongshan Zhihui put her hands on her hips and stared at Jiang Nian.
"I was waiting for someone, but he didn't show up." Jiang Nian said indifferently.
As if she had discovered a new world, Nakayama Chie pressed on, "Who the hell stood you up?"
Jiang Nian looked embarrassed, hesitant about whether to answer.
Looking at Zhongshan Zhihui's big, gleaming eyes, Jiang Nian couldn't bear to hide it: "It's Yukimura Seiichi."
"Who?" Zhongshan Zhihui jumped far away and pointed at Jiang Nian, "You, you guys?"
Jiang Nian quickly explained, "I wanted to give these posters to him to make him happy."
After seeing the poster, Chie Nakayama asked, "Did you make all of this yourself?"
Jiang Nian said frankly: "Yes."
Nakayama Chie showed an understanding expression and comforted her, "Don't be sad about this kind of thing. There are plenty of male classmates."
"It's not what you think." Jiang Nian knew Zhongshan Zhihui was wrong as soon as he heard it. "Xingcunjun and I are just ordinary classmates. I gave him a gift out of friendship."
Chie Nakayama nodded with an expression that said "I understand."
Jiang Nian: "..."
Before they parted, Zhongshan Zhihui obtained Jiang Nian's consent and wrote the incident in the detective log.
During the holiday, Jiang Nian and Chiba Hideji met Sanada Genichirō by chance when they followed Sakamoto Mika to a concert.
Jiang Nian happened to have a poster of Yukimura Seiichi with him that day, intending to give it to Chiba Hideji and Sakamoto Mika.
When he saw Genichirō Sanada, he changed his mind and asked him to help pass it on to Seiichi Yukimura, which brought the matter to a successful conclusion.
After Jiang Nian's mindset changed, he felt much more relaxed. Studying during the holidays no longer felt like a task, but more like entertainment.
After school started, Jiang Nian officially became a third-year student. The difference from before was that many people, both familiar and unfamiliar, whispered something to each other after seeing Jiang Nian.
When Jiang Nian looked at them, they pretended to chat again.
These things made Jiang Nian feel very unhappy, as if he were a monkey in a zoo.
Until one evening, Jiang Nian was blocked at the school gate by several senior students.
The truth of the matter came to light.
"Are you Wei Qi Jiang Nian? You're really hard for us to find." A girl with long hair and a nonchalant look said.
Jiang Nian knew he was about to face an extremely fierce battle when he saw the state of the others: "Senior sister, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Bah, still pretending?" another girl said nonchalantly, "You failed to pursue Yukimura Seiichi, and now you've seduced Sanada Genichirō. Now the tennis club is in such a mess because of you, no girl dares to go."
The first girl added, "You also had something to do with Yukimura-kun's failure in the competition."
Jiang Nian was speechless. This was really a huge pot.
The last time she met Yukimura and Sanada was a month ago, so how could there be any talk of seduction?
Yukimura Seiichi only explained to me the reason why he didn't come to meet me last time the day before school started, and he did it through a text message.
The most important thing is, what does Yukimura’s loss have to do with me?
