Chapter 108 Sense of Crisis
The next day, Jin Siyang drove her to school. When Cen Nian was sitting in the car, she suddenly had a real feeling that they had really grown up.
After getting off the car, she said to Jin Siyang, "You don't have to pick me up. I have an appointment with Yaoyao to go out for dinner tonight."
Jin Siyang sat in the driver's seat, watching her back as she entered the school gate through the car window. He didn't start the car and leave until he could no longer see her figure.
Cen Nian had just walked into the classroom when Zhang Qi came towards her angrily: "Cen Nian, why didn't you change the version I asked you to change last time?"
Cen Nian put down her schoolbag and met his eyes: "Zhang Qi, you've strayed from the topic."
"I just think the topic you chose is too simple." Zhang Qi said bluntly.
"Well, so I asked the professor to do this assignment by myself." Cen Nian nodded and said, "Regarding this assignment, the professor said that individual and group scores are the same, but because the task is heavy, he suggested that we choose to work in groups."
Zhang Qi's face cracked for a moment. "What did you say? You're going to do it alone? Are you sure you can do it? Who will collect the data for you? Who will help you organize the content?"
Cen Nian looked at him puzzledly: "I'm almost done."
At the end of last night, she pulled Jin Siyang to do homework together. Cen Nian was like a sponge absorbing knowledge, her mind and eyes full of new knowledge.
Even Jin Siyang pinched her face helplessly: "A kiss, and a kiss on the face. You deceived me into studying with you for three hours. Cen Nian, I didn't expect you to be suitable for business."
Cen Nian just smiled and said nothing. She had a secret in her heart. She liked watching Jin Siyang studying or doing something seriously. At this time, Jin Siyang was serious and determined, and almost all the answers he wrote were correct.
To Cen Nian, Jin Siyang at this time was very, very charming!
Two or three people in the team came closer and said, "Cen Nian, why are you alone? Come on, I'll go with you."
"Yes, there's me and me too. You can hand over the unfinished content to us."
Cen Nian had no objection to this, she nodded: "Okay."
The original group of six was divided into two groups.
Zhang Qi led the other two people and said, "Cen Nian, don't say I didn't advise you. Your theme is indeed ordinary. The one I chose has never been done before."
Cen Nian was noncommittal. "The subject is ordinary, so we can find different perspectives. I think it's very meaningful for us to choose a new perspective. Zhang Qi, I don't want to change."
"Whatever you want. Don't blame me for not reminding you. This assignment is related to the exam grading and scholarship evaluation."
"Yeah, I know." Cen Nian nodded.
Zhang Qi was really furious. Cen Nian was like cotton. No matter how he hit him, he just said something soft. He didn't scold him nor was he angry. This made him seem impatient.
After Cen Nian and two classmates finished their homework, the three of them checked it twice to make sure there were no minor errors before sending it to the professor's email.
After finishing the work, it was almost time, so the girls in the same group asked her to go to the cafeteria together.
Cen Nian checked the time and said, "I'm not going to the cafeteria. I have a dinner date with a friend."
"Okay, let's make an appointment next time!"
"Bye-Bye!"
Cen Nian came to the designated location given by Zhu Zhiyao. Zhu Zhiyao was sitting in the studio, looking at the draft in her hand and reading silently.
Cen Nian saw her from afar, but didn't disturb her. He just sat beside her and waited.
"Are you Zhiyao's friend?" A tall, upright man stood in front of Cen Nian. "Hello, I'm the male host from last time, Liang Sheng."
Cen Nian stood up and shook hands: "Hello, I'm Cen Nian, Yaoyao's friend."
"You two have such a good relationship." Liang Sheng was envious. "My good friends are all in Beijing, so it's hard for us to get together. I'm really envious of you guys."
"By the way, Zhiyao has been preparing for a competition recently. Teacher Qin Xuan is going to accept a disciple. She has worked very hard for this. She almost fainted from low blood sugar at noon today. Please talk to her."
Cen Nian became even more anxious when she heard this. She looked at Liang Sheng gratefully and said, "I understand. Thank you!"
After half an hour, Zhu Zhiyao put down the draft in her hand and asked, "Niannian, how long have you been here?"
"I just arrived!" Cen Nian took Zhu Zhiyao's hand and said, "Let's go eat first. I'm hungry."
"I'm hungry too, let's go!"
They went to a restaurant they often visited. Cen Nian ordered many of Zhu Zhiyao's favorite dishes and a low-sugar cake, which could satisfy Zhu Zhiyao's need to lose weight while also replenishing some sugar.
Zhu Zhiyao looked at the dishes on the table: "Niannian, are we pigs?"
Cen Nian noticed the tiredness and sadness on Zhu Zhiyao's face, and told her again what Jin Siyang had said to her.
Zhu Zhiyao held the spoon, her eyes hazy. She smiled and said, "That sounds like something he would do. Qin Zhouyan is like that, kind, sunny, and treats everyone equally."
He is good in every way, but maybe he just doesn't like her.
"You are here! What a coincidence!" A hearty male voice interrupted their conversation. Cen Nian and Zhu Zhiyao both looked up. Qin Zhouyan and Jin Siyang came to them at some point.
Cen Nian was a little confused: "Why are you here?"
Qin Zhouyan smiled and said, "Oh, Si Yang is going back to the United States tomorrow, so we wanted to have dinner together, but we didn't expect to run into you guys."
"Yaoyao, what a coincidence!" Qin Zhouyan greeted with a smile.
Zhu Zhiyao nodded calmly: "What a coincidence."
Qin Zhouyan's smile froze, as if to encourage himself secretly: "Let's share a table, do you mind?"
Cen Nian didn't say anything. He looked at Zhu Zhiyao, as if asking for her opinion. Zhu Zhiyao thought for three seconds and replied, "Let's fight."
"Okay!" Qin Zhouyan pushed Jin Siyang to Cen Nian's side and sat next to Zhu Zhiyao. He explained to himself: "Let these stinky couple sit together, and we will sit together."
Zhu Zhiyao: "..."
Jin Siyang and Cen Nian tacitly kept silent. Among the four people, only Qin Zhouyan was like a loudspeaker.
"Yaoyao, eat this, you look so thin."
"This is delicious too, it's the signature dish of this restaurant."
"How about trying this?"
Zhu Zhiyao held the spoon and said softly, "Qin Zhouyan, what do you want to do?"
As soon as the words came out, Cen Nian and Jin Siyang leaned back, with an expression of "pretend I don't exist" on their faces.
Qin Zhouyan was still smiling. He scratched his head and said, "Yaoyao, I don't know. I just don't want you to be so cold to me. Weren't we good before?"
Zhu Zhiyao's eyes were covered with a layer of mist at this moment. She looked at the boy in front of her carefully and seriously. His sincere eyes were the same as before, and his temperament was no different, but his appearance had become more mature and neat.
The restaurant was getting more and more crowded, but their area was quieter than other places. Time passed slowly, and a tall figure slowly approached. A familiar voice rang out, "Yaoyao, you're here too?"
The word "Yaoyao" set off alarm bells in Qin Zhouyan's heart, and he suddenly looked up at the person who came.
Zhu Zhiyao stood up: "Senior Liang Sheng."
Liang Sheng glanced around inconspicuously, with a polite smile on his face: "I really can't find a seat, do you mind?"
Qin Zhouyan subconsciously said: "Introduction..."
Zhu Zhiyao blurted out: "I don't mind."
The seat that Cen Nian booked was large enough to accommodate six people, but he was in a dilemma as to how to arrange the seats.
Liang Sheng was a smart man. He knew at first glance that Jin Siyang and Cen Nian were a couple. He knew what was good for him and did not go towards them. He just looked at Zhu Zhiyao helplessly.
Qin Zhouyan stood up first: "Senior Liang, you can sit next to me, don't you mind?"
"It doesn't matter."
So the positions were decided: Zhu Zhiyao sat at the innermost, Qin Zhouyan in the middle, and Liang Sheng sat on the outermost.
Liang Sheng is a talkative person, especially since he and Zhu Zhiyao are both broadcasting majors. They talk so eloquently that Qin Zhouyan in the middle seems like an obstacle.
After chatting for a few minutes, Liang Sheng said, "By the way, you and Cen Nian left in a hurry, and I prepared a meeting gift for you but haven't had time to give it to you yet. It's two little dolls. I hope you don't mind."
In an instant, Jin Siyang and Qin Zhouyan's eyes suddenly met Liang Sheng's.
