"What? What did you say! You said our Brother Yan wasn't the first place?"
Grades are always the most important topic for students.
Although they have passed high school and entered college, students' attention to grades has not decreased, but has become more and more intense. Topics about grades can touch their hearts the most.
After all, apart from one's own family conditions, the only thing left for comparison is academic performance.
"Tell me quickly, who is the top student in the grade? Is it our Brother Yan?"
The person who brought the good news was stunned when he heard Liu Huan's question, "It's not our Brother Yan, it's Jian Jianan from our class!"
Although I don’t understand why Liu Huan’s face looks so ugly, even if Yan Wenxin didn’t get the first place, she is still a girl in their class. Isn’t it good to bring honor to the class?
There are four classes in the Business School's Business Administration major. Jian Jianan was able to win the first place in the competition among these classes. It must be said that he is quite capable.
But Yan Wenxin's expression was indeed the same as Liu Huan's, slowly becoming ugly.
"This... this is impossible. How could Jian Jianan do so well in the exam? She must spend several hours every day working part-time." Liu Huan said as he looked at Yan Wenxin for help. After getting along with her for half a semester, he gradually understood his classmate's thoughts. Yan Wenxin seemed to be the most indifferent to fame and fortune, as if he didn't care about his grades at all. Although he had the title of the only son of a steel tycoon, he was very approachable and didn't use this status to bully others. In fact, he had a strong desire to win and was also very stingy. He wanted to be the first in everything.
Yan Wenxin gritted her teeth, controlling her entire body's strength, and squeezed out a few words from between her teeth: "This is really good news. Jian Jianan works so many jobs every day and still gets first place. It's really...incredible!"
Jian Jianan and her roommates in the dormitory were also discussing this good news.
Zhang Muya rushed into the dormitory excitedly, holding a piece of paper and hurriedly looking for Jian Jianan. She patted Jian Jianan's upper bunk and said excitedly: "Nannan Nannan! Come and take a look! The midterm exam results are out, and you are first in the grade!"
Zhang Yezi looked at her amused and said, "Xiaoya, why are you so excited? Isn't it obvious that Nannan got first place? Besides her, who else could have gotten first place in the management class?"
Zhang Muya explained, "No, no, no, it's not the management course. Nannan took first place in other courses as well! It should be said that she took first place in the grade after adding up all her scores and comprehensive tests!"
Huh? Jian Jianan popped her head out from the lower bunk! She knew she did well on the midterm exam, but she didn't expect it to be this good!
Seeing that Jian Jianan had also noticed, Chen Muya quickly handed her the paper in her hand, "This is the information I spent a lot of money to find out. Nannan, you not only did well in the management course, but also did well in other exams. The comprehensive score of every course added up is now the first in the grade. Not only in our class, but also in other classes!"
Jian Jianan took the papers from Chen Muya's hand, read them one by one, and laughed, "Really? I saw that I am indeed the first in the grade! I am really amazing!"
The three roommates were amused by the smugness in the little girl's words. Everyone found it funny and gathered together to congratulate Jian Jianan, saying, "Yes, yes, Nan Nan is really amazing. She's number one in the grade!"
Although college grades are not as life-or-death determining as those in junior high and high school, they are still very important.
College grades can be related to the evaluation of scholarships and the selection of various awards. In the future, grades will be used to apply for graduate school and study abroad. Now Jian Jianan has won the first place in the grade, and her roommates are very happy for her.
After Chen Muya waited for Jian Jianan to confirm the news, she threw out another piece of good news, "That Yan Wenxin, wasn't he praised to the skies by his roommates before the exam? They said Brother Yan was number one in the world, but now he's ranked second in his grade, even surpassed by our Nan Nan."
Yan Wenxin has a good reputation in the class. At least Jian Jianan has never heard of anyone being dissatisfied with him. But everyone has different opinions about Liu Huan, the guy sitting next to him.
However, dormitory 302 was checked out by Jian Jianan, so he knew what kind of person Yan Wenxin was. Besides, birds of a feather flock together. Yan Wenxin had someone like Liu Huan by his side, and the two of them got along so well. This meant that Yan Wenxin was definitely not as easy to get along with as she appeared to be.
Maybe they are the same type, otherwise how could they play together and have such a good time?
Jian Jianan looked at his report card happily for a long time, then got up and went to the classroom with his classmates.
I thought the whole day would be so happy, but as soon as I arrived at the classroom, I saw that the first row where they usually sat was occupied by the four boys from the dormitory.
Liu Huanyan, Wenxin and two other roommates were sitting in the first row where Jian Jianan and her roommates usually sat. When they saw the four people come in, they gave them a look.
Zhang Muya immediately became indignant: "What's wrong with this guy? Doesn't he know that the first row is where we usually sit? Why is he still occupying it?"
Ding Ran was also a little unhappy. Although there were no students' names written on the seats and everyone could sit anywhere, half a semester had passed and the students had formed a tacit understanding that whoever liked the seat would not be occupied by others. Now Yan Wenxin and her roommates in the dormitory were doing such childish things, which must have been intentional.
Jian Jianan chuckled softly: "Ignore them, they are too childish. If we pay attention to them, we will lose."
Then he took the lead in finding an empty seat and sat down.
The next class happened to be the homeroom teacher's. After the bell rang, Li Erruo walked to the podium and first talked about the results of their class's midterm exam.
University teachers do not have performance requirements for students, so they just mention it briefly and do not encourage everyone to study hard like high school teachers do and pay attention to everyone's situation.
Towards the end of the conversation, Li Erruo said, "The midterm exam results are out now. They will be distributed to every student shortly. Everyone, please take a look at the results. If there are no objections, these will be the final results. But don't think that everything is fine once you've passed high school. College is also very important. These results are related to many scholarships and awards. And your future, whether you want to continue your studies or study abroad, this transcript will play a big role in all of this, so everyone must take it seriously, okay?"
Jian Jianan looked at the total list and saw his name in the first row, with a number representing the list on the far right: one.
I feel so happy in my heart. Oh my, I have to say, it feels so good to be the first!
When the get out of class was over, Jian Jianan was about to pack up and leave with his roommates, but he was stopped by someone.
It was Yan Wenxin. He stopped Jian Jianan in front of everyone and invited her, "Classmate Jian Jianan, I have two tickets for the movie "Liu Sanjie" tonight at 12 o'clock. Do you want to join me?"
Jian Jianan was confused for a moment, not understanding why Yan Wenxin wanted to invite her to the movies, but she immediately refused, "No, classmate Yan Wenxin, I have something important to do after class today, so I won't go to the movies with you. You can invite someone else."
As soon as Jian Jianan's rejection came out, the main person Yan Wenxin had not yet reacted, and his roommate Liu Huan started shouting again.
He said rather sarcastically, "Oh my, when you say busy, you don't mean taking a part-time job, do you? I heard that in other majors, you can often see our classmate, Jian Jianan, who is the top student in the grade, studying diligently. But there's something wrong. How come the content of her diligent study is completely different from our major?"
Liu Huan was talking about Jian Jianan's substitute teaching, and was trying to make an allusion to something.
Jian Jianan's smile remained unchanged, still beaming with joy. "Hey, isn't it that I want to learn about other majors? Why, if you want to go too, I can introduce you to some courses."
Liu Huan: "You! You..."
Thinking of something, Liu Huan said, "Don't work so hard. What's wrong with following our Brother Yan? You might even get paid for accompanying our Brother Yan to the movie. It's not as hard as running around the campus all day long, is it?"
Chen Muya couldn't stand it any longer and said to Liu Huan, "What are you doing? Didn't you hear Nan Nan refuse? Do you really need to be here giving her advice and making excuses? If she said she wasn't going, then she wasn't going. Why would she need to say so much? If Nan Nan wanted to see a movie, she would definitely go with our dormitory. Why would she need you to invite her?"
Chen Muya showed her toughness and toughness in front of the whole class at the beginning of the school year, so Liu Huan didn't dare to say much and quickly looked at Yan Wenxin with a pleading look.
Yan Wen was extremely angry. Although Liu Huan was loyal, he was useless! With his abilities and brains, nothing he could say would be good.
Seeing that Yan Wenxin had no intention of paying attention to him and avoided his evasive gaze, Liu Huan somehow managed to steel himself and said to Jian Jianan with his neck stiff, "You work part-time jobs every day just to earn a few cents, and now our brother Yan is offering you money to go out to the movies but you refuse. Who are you trying to show off to by pretending to be a chaste woman? In my opinion, you're just being hypocritical! You..."
Liu Huan's statement immediately sparked the crowd's anger. They had already gathered when Yan Wenxin came to invite Jian Jianan, and who wouldn't want to hear gossip? Seeing the struggle between the top and second-best students in their grade, everyone was curious!
As a result, the two main people haven't even opened their mouths yet, but this Liu Huan always jumps out and gives orders, saying something about being hypocritical. Isn't he just accusing Jian Jianan of loving money but creating a personality that doesn't love money?
When these words were spoken, the girls in the class were very unhappy to hear them.
Someone immediately stepped out to stop them. "How dare you talk like that?! What do you mean by 'pretending to be noble'? She already said she couldn't go because she had something else to do, and you're still saying that. Aren't you just forcing her to go?"
"Yes, yes. And, Jian Jianan has already refused, and Yan Wenxin hasn't said anything, yet you're actually helping her express her opinion. Could it be...could it be that the reason you're reacting so strongly is because they invited Jian Jianan but not you?"
Seeing this, Jian Jianan immediately added fuel to the fire, "Yes, yes, I think it makes sense." She looked at Yan Wenxin very sympathetically, "Classmate Yan, look at how eager classmate Liu Huan is. Take pity on the person in front of you. Although I don't have time to go, isn't there someone here who can go?"
Jian Jianan's eyes moved between Yan Wenxin and Liu Huan in a particularly intriguing manner.
When these words were spoken, the two people who reacted the most were Liu Huan and Yan Wenxin. Yan Wenxin took a step back without saying a word.
Liu Huan was complaining in his heart. The reason why he reacted so strongly was of course that Jian Jianan was ungrateful. He didn't want to accept the toast and was forced to drink the forfeit. His boss had invited him so sincerely, but Jian Jianan refused.
You have to know that Jian Jianan is so poor that she has to work everywhere. Even the real poor student Zhang Yezi is not as busy as her.
Seeing Jian Jianan's ungrateful behavior, Liu Huan was very angry and wanted to stand up for his brother, which was why he reacted so strongly.
Yan Wenxin listened to the group talking and felt that something was wrong, so she quickly intervened, "No, no, since you said you couldn't go because you had something to do, then don't go. You're right, I can also invite my classmates and friends to watch it together. We can make an appointment next time when we're free."
Yan Wenxin once again jumped out to act as a peacemaker, and Liu Huan took the opportunity to back down, thus avoiding the situation of being besieged by the angry crowd.
On the way back home with Jian Jianan and the other three, Ding Ran was still fuming. "No wonder Nannan said last time that those two were birds of a feather, telling us to be careful of Yan Wenxin. Today I've finally seen the truth. Just because he invited you to the movies in front of so many people, I knew he had bad intentions."
It's not that you can't invite people in public, but at least there should be a premise that both parties are aware of it. However, Jian Jianan and Yan Wenxin have never had any other interactions before. He suddenly invited her, and invited her in front of so many people. It's hard to say that Yan Wenxin didn't mean to put pressure on her.
Zhang Yezi was also unusually emotional for a moment. "That's right! I think both of them have bad intentions. Why should we, Nan Nan, go just because he invites us? Who made that rule?"
Zhang Yezi comes from a poor family, has a strong sense of self-esteem, and is very sensitive to other people's emotions. She can tell at once that Yan Wen has bad intentions.
Zhang Yezi thought about how busy Jian Jianan had been lately, constantly filling in for classes. She also realized that as the oldest, she had an obligation to guide Jian Jianan. So, she told Jian Jianan, "Nannan, I know you're having a hard time, but no matter how difficult it is, we must stick to our original intentions. Yan Wenxin actually dared to treat you like this. He thinks you're better than him in grades, and he's got a desire to conquer you. Once you agree to him, he'll lose interest!"
Zhang Yezi was like someone who had been through it all, and it had to be said that her psychological analysis was spot on, and she was pretty close to understanding Yan Wenxin's true state of mind.
Jian Jianan was at a loss for words: "Head of the dorm, I understand! Why do you all look like you're facing a great enemy? I really am free this afternoon, but I'm not working part-time. I just have some personal matters at home!"
"I'm not short of money! Not at all!"
Jian Jianan now couldn't help but feel a little resentful about the bad idea his brother had given him at the beginning of the school year. At that time, Jian Jiabei said that one should not show off one's wealth and should act low-key to prevent the thoughts of people around them and not reveal any signs that one's family is rich.
Now that they have been together, Jian Jianan feels that it is no big deal for his roommates to know about this, but now he has missed the best opportunity to confess!
Jian Jianan looked at their faces full of pity and obvious heartache, and suddenly felt a headache. She had no doubt that if she confessed to them now, what she would get in return would definitely not be this kind of heartache, but all kinds of storms.
Jian Jianan rarely felt guilty and had a headache. One wrong step led to another. She couldn't be like Yan Wenxin and suddenly expose her image as the only son of the "Steel King" during the class.
Oh, it seems that this matter still needs to be considered carefully.
Jian Jianan repeatedly stated, "Besides! Besides, my family isn't as wealthy as Yan Wenxin, but we can still make ends meet. At least I don't have to worry about going to college. I'm doing part-time teaching just out of my personal interest. I'm not broke!"
The three roommates were a little bit unconvinced, but considering Jian Jianan's self-esteem, they reluctantly accompanied her to act.
"Okay, okay, okay, okay. We know you're not poor at all. You're substituting for teachers and handing out flyers just for your own interests. Yeah, yes, that's right."
Jian Jianan was helpless. From what they said, it was clear that they didn't believe him. However, Jian Jianan didn't have time to explain any further. He could only raise his watch to indicate that it was getting late.
"I really have something to do. That little farce just now didn't take long. I really have to go."
"Okay, okay, go ahead. We'll carry your textbooks back for you."
"Thank you, Headmaster!"
Zhang Yezi and the other two watched Jian Jianan leave, all with the same kind look on their faces.
Zhang Ye Zi: "Nannan has worked so hard..."
Ding Ran nodded: "Yes, yes, I've been in class all morning. I'm so tired and I still have to go out to work and earn money!"
Chen Muya: “Besides, there are so many people behind her who are jealous of her and slander her behind her back!”
The three of them said in unison: "We need to see if there's any way we can help!"
"Even if I can't reduce her life burden, at least I can shelter her from the wind and rain outside, which is good enough." Zhang Yezi was worried. Even she herself didn't work so hard, and her living expenses were enough to get by. However, Jian Jianan's part-time jobs outside were more time and in more types than hers. Her living situation was really worrying!
By the way, she still remembered that Nan Nan vaguely mentioned that she had a brother who was also studying at a university in Beijing. Could it be that the burden of her brother's life fell entirely on her?
Zhang Yezi's eyes gradually became sharper. Humph! If that's the case, then everything makes sense!
Don't let me catch you, otherwise I will definitely seek justice for Nan Nan!
Inside the Public Security University, Jian Jiabei, who was training, suddenly sneezed and was laughed at and asked if someone was thinking about him.
Jian Jiabei shook his head and suddenly felt a chill in his heart. It didn't look like someone was thinking about him, but rather like someone was nagging and plotting against him.
He only had one most likely candidate in his mind, it couldn't be his sister Jian Jianan, could something weird happen again?
What Jian Jiabei didn't know was that this matter was indeed related to Jian Jianan. Although it was not a direct connection, it was an indirect connection.
Jian Jianan said that she had something to do, and it was not a part-time job. She was not lying to her roommates. The important thing she was talking about was that she was going to check in the room.
Ever since she managed to buy five courtyard houses with the help of Liu Shan, Liu Shan and the company behind her have been busy for a while.
First, there are a series of procedures to be done, such as changing the real estate certificate. After these procedures are completed and Jian Jianan's final payment is paid, it is time to renovate and replace the house.
The two adults had important things to do, not to mention the brother, who was locked up in school for training all day. Jian Jianan had to take on most of the decoration work alone, and he had been leaving early and returning late during this period for this purpose.
But luckily, she has an incredible little helper.
"Xiaoqing!" Jian Jianan waved quickly when he saw the person coming.
Shan Jiqing walked over and heard Jian Jianan saying to him with a smile, "Why are you here? Didn't I ask you to wait for me at the entrance of the alley?"
Shan Jiqing smiled faintly, "It's okay, I just wanted to see you earlier. I happened to have no classes, so I came over."
Jian Jianan paused, not knowing what had happened to Shan Jiqing in these days that he had not noticed. Since graduating from high school, Shan Jiqing seemed to have become a different person, always paying attention to him.
If I had to sum it up in one word, it would be possessiveness.
Jian Jianan thought this was normal. After all, Shan Jiqing had been his classmate since elementary school, and even if they were separated, it was rarely more than a month.
But since going to college, the two of them have been spending less and less time together. Either Jian Jianan has to go out to work part-time or Shan Jiqing has experiments to do and they can't meet.
Perhaps because of this, Shan Jiqing felt very insecure, so she became even more clingy. After finishing her classes, she would often receive Shan Jiqing's daily text messages, which seemed to be thrown at her for free.
Jian Jianan was a little worried. It would not work for Shan Jiqing to continue like this. It might be related to his childhood experiences, coupled with the shared childhood experiences of the two, which made Shan Jiqing so dependent on him.
Fortunately, the situation took a turn for the better when we just bought the courtyard house.
At that time, Shan Jiqing called and asked to meet up, but Jian Jianan embarrassedly refused. "I'm sorry, Xiaoqing, I bought a courtyard house and planned to renovate it. I'm not free this week."
“…”
Shan Jiqing was silent for a long time on the other end of the phone. No one knew what he was thinking about. Jian Jianan felt uneasy and suddenly felt guilty.
Who would have thought that Shan Jiqing's next words would be, "Renovating a courtyard house? I have experience with this. My grandparents lived in a courtyard house, and I lived there with them during my summer vacation. If you take me with you, I can definitely help out!"
Jian Jianan was very happy, "Really? Really? That's great!"
Therefore, it became a foregone conclusion that Shan Jiqing would come to help. He had been accompanying Jian Jianan during this period. Whenever they had free time, they would run into the alleys and visit various decoration markets and home furnishing markets in Beijing.
There are many intricacies involved in decorating a house, but no matter how complicated it is, with Dan Jiqing, a half-Beijing native, leading the way, Jian Jianan can't be cheated.
In just two months, the courtyard house was renovated and looked brand new.
Today is the day when the last project is completed and we are going to take possession of the house.
Jian Jianan called Shan Jiqing and went with her to see the fruits of their labor.
Along the way, Jian Jianan chattered excitedly: "You must have been exhausted these past two months, right? Whenever you had some free time, you couldn't rest properly. Instead, I grabbed you and made you run around with me. We've run all over Beijing. But thankfully, the renovation work has come to an end, and we can both have a good rest from now on!"
Jian Jianan thought she was very understanding and comforted Shan Jiqing gently and considerately, but she didn't expect that Shan Jiqing's reaction was completely different from what she expected.
Shan Jiqing just looked at Jian Jianan silently for a while, and then replied with a word after a long time.
In fact, if he were to say, he didn't feel tired at all. Moreover, when he followed Jian Jianan around, they picked furniture together, picked decoration materials together, and discussed together which room each chair should be placed in. They were like a newlywed couple, and there was a very warm atmosphere. If time permitted, Shan Jiqing would like to do more such tiring activities!
Unfortunately, the weather is not good, and my ideas can only be ideas after all. The decoration will be completed sooner or later.
Now, it is finally time to move into the house. Shan Jiqing feels very sorry. It seems that the time he spent with Jian Jianan is coming to an end.
The two of them quickly arrived at their destination, the alley, where Liu San and Liu Shan had already been waiting for them. Logically, their role as intermediaries was merely a middleman; once the work was done, they would no longer be needed.
However, this order is different. This is a big business that their big company has not received for a long time. They don’t know how much profit it will make, but it can at least support the people in their big company without having to open for business for three months.
With this order from me, the boss was so happy that he was dazzled with smiles!
Therefore, common sense couldn't be applied to such a major client. With a wave of his hand, the company's boss immediately assigned Liu Shan to follow up on the entire process, including design drawings and renovation plans. The goal was to better oversee the renovation project and provide Jian Jianan with a more complete service, which would make her even more satisfied.
After all, buying a house is not a one-time deal. Who knows, if Jian Jianan is satisfied this time, she might think of their company next time she buys a house or when someone around her buys a house.
Liu Shan walked inside with a simple smile and said, "Nannan, don't worry. I'm supervising the renovation of your courtyard houses the entire time. The workers will definitely not cut corners. I know you're busy at school and don't have much time to come and supervise, so I have to be even more considerate of you."
Jian Jianan nodded indifferently and stood in the first courtyard house, feeling the environment after renovation. He fully agreed to the renovation drawings after looking at them. In the new courtyard house, all the old windows were replaced with lighter and brighter new glass. The brick and tile walls were also painted. The dirty tiles have now become bright and shiny. It is most appropriate to say that it looks brand new.
This is completely different from what I've seen before!
Noticing the satisfaction on Jian Jianan's face, Liu Shan also said, "I have to say, Nannan, you have a really good eye. When I first introduced you here, I also thought the environment here was poor and didn't meet your requirements. I didn't expect that after just a few small changes, it would become so beautiful!"
Liu Shan was admiring Jian Jianan's unique vision. It seemed that she was right. These soft furnishings were all empty. As long as the location was good and the foundation was good, changing the appearance would be a piece of cake.
Jian Jianan nodded and accepted Liu Shan's praise completely. Then she and Shan Jiqing started to inspect the decoration results together.
No matter how fantastic Liu Shan’s words are, true knowledge comes from practice. If they don’t check it out themselves, how can they know that the decoration is really good?
The presence of Shan Jiqing, a science student, really helped the Jian family's Nan University. He even brought a ruler and started taking various measurements.
Jian Jianan took out a small notebook and read through the pages one by one according to the instructions on the notebook.
After they both finished looking at the set, they nodded happily to Liu Shan, indicating that the set had passed the inspection.
"Come on, let's go to the next set."
That’s right, they need to check at least six more courtyard houses like this.
Jian Jianan had used up all his budget on buying courtyard houses, and he already had four. Su Qinxuan asked his daughter to buy a bigger one, so that in addition to the four of them, they could also leave other rooms for various relatives and friends. After hearing the news that Jian Jianan had bought a courtyard house in Beijing, Ma Xiuli and Yang Tao asked Su Qinxuan to help keep an eye out for one for each of them.
That’s not all. Deng Bitong somehow also got to know the news, so she wrote a letter and sent a text message asking Jian Jianan to buy her a set.
There are already eight sets of courtyard houses. Jian Jianan is responsible for decorating eight courtyard houses by himself, and he feels a little overwhelmed. Unexpectedly, Shan Jiqing suddenly said that he wanted to buy one.
"But don't you already have one at home? Why do you need to buy another one?" Jian Jianan was curious.
Shan Jiqing said, "That set belongs to my grandparents, not me. I want to be your neighbor. Besides, I trust you very much. It's right to buy things from you!"
Jian Jianan liked Shan Jiqing's compliment, so he didn't ask any further questions.
However, she was still a little worried. She heard that the money Shan Jiqing took was his own New Year's money. He wouldn't have emptied his wallet with just this trick.
Forget it, if he wants to eat anything next, I'll just treat him myself.
The two of them worked from noon to seven in the evening and finally completed the inspection of all nine courtyard houses.
Liu Shan has always been with the two children and has been busy all the time.
After the inspection work was completed, Jian Jianan looked at the two of them with a smile: "It's been so long, it's time for dinner, why don't you all stay and I'll treat you. My local friend even took me to a delicious mutton restaurant, which is perfect now that the weather is so cold."
Liu Shan refused, "No, no, I have to hand in these documents to the company. Let's wait for next time. Next time, if there is a chance, I will have dinner with you, Nan Nan, and I will definitely treat you. So, please don't be polite to me."
After hearing Liu Shan say this, Jian Jianan didn't insist any more.
"Thank you, Sister Shanshan. These courtyard houses have such high requirements. You must have put a lot of thought into it. After all, our whole family wants to buy one nearby. It must have been very hard for you to search for these houses."
Liu Shan waved her hand: "It's not hard for me, it's not hard for me." Customers like you, Nan Nan, who buy large courtyard houses like cabbages, it would be great if we could give them more!
The acceptance work of these nine courtyard houses took a lot of effort, and Jian Jianan insisted on inviting Shan Jiqing to dinner.
In Jian Jianan's mind, Shan Jiqing was already a poor guy who had spent all his money and had no money left for a meal, so she had to treat him to the meal no matter what.
"Don't refuse, Xiaoqing. Besides, it's a good thing you're with me during this inspection. It's greatly reduced my stress. Otherwise, if I were to do it alone, I don't know how long it would take. It might not even be finished until the early morning."
Shan Jiqing was then dragged by Jian Jianan into the mutton restaurant and they started eating hot pot together.
You definitely can't just eat without doing anything. You have to chat and talk about interesting things in your daily life.
"Luoluo and Linchuan are busy with their midterm exams these days, so I can't shout every time. Luckily, you're here to keep me company."
Jian Jianan's mouth was stuffed full of stuff, which made Shan Jiqing think it was quite cute.
He pursed his lips and said, "Speaking of which, your midterm exam results are out, right?"
Jian Jianan nodded: "Of course, it's out. What I didn't expect was that I actually got first place in the grade!"
You have to know that this is a ranking I have never achieved in high school.
"That's no wonder. There are only four or five classes in college now, so of course it's easier to pass the exam."
Shan Jiqing, however, had a different opinion. He shook his head gravely, "No, no, you can't say that. How can you say you got a free pass because there were fewer competitors? It's because the university's teaching methods are more suitable for you. You took to it like a duck to water and absorbed economic knowledge like a duck to water. You're very talented in this area, so it's no surprise that you came in first."
Shan Jiqing is really good at talking. After this call, Jian Jianan was immediately overjoyed.
So the conversation between the two revolved around the midterm exam, and inevitably brought up the farce between Liu Huan and Yan Wenxin this morning.
"...These two people definitely have bad intentions. Who knows what they are up to!"
After Jian Jianan finished speaking, she concluded indignantly. She was quite confused, "I don't understand why. Why do I always experience this kind of thing? Besides, I'm number one in the grade, so what? Why would he ask me out to the movies? What's there to be jealous of?"
Shan Jiqing did not answer. He raised his head and looked in the direction of Jian Jianan. The face of his close friend with whom he had known each other for ten years seemed even more hazy under the misty fog, and his expression became softer, which added a bit of charm to his face against the warm yellow light.
Being in Mount Lushan, one does not know the true face. Jian Jianan did not know how charming she was. Although she did not know it herself, Shan Jiqing knew it ten years ago.
He lowered his eyes and said indifferently, "It's better to stay away from people like this. Otherwise, you never know what they will do next. Liu Huan is annoying, but Yan Wenxin is the real mastermind. It's like a master and his dog. If the master doesn't give instructions, the dog will definitely not act on its own."
Jian Jianan's eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, that's what I thought too!"
Yan Wenxin's affair was just covered up by the two of them. He wasn't the protagonist, so why did they say so much about him?
However, Shan Jiqing remembered Yan Wenxin's name deeply in his heart. It seemed that it was not good to have such a person always around Jian Jianan. He must find time at school to meet him properly.
Those dark creatures always like sunshine.
Fortunately, Jian Jianan hasn't figured it out yet.
After dinner, the two of them went out for a walk together. Shan Jiqing insisted on sending Jian Jianan back to school before going back himself.
Jian Jianan had no choice but to accept it.
"Why are you acting like my brother? I'm already a teenager, and you still treat me like a child?"
Shan Jiqing adopted the method of silence being golden. Jian Jianan kept talking but never gave a direct answer.
Shan Jiqing finally managed to send Jian Jianan back home. When they were at the school gate, if Jian Jianan hadn't insisted, Shan Jiqing would have definitely sent her to the dormitory door.
"Okay, just send it here, I'll go in by myself!"
Shan Jiqing felt a little regretful that he couldn't send Jian Jianan to the dormitory door.
"Okay, see you next time."
"goodbye."
Jian Jianan was about to walk into the campus, but suddenly he thought of something and turned around to smile at Shan Jiqing: "See you next time, Xiaoqing! It's always so pleasant to chat with you!"
After saying goodbye, Jian Jianan trotted back to the campus. There was a curfew in their dormitory. If they didn't go back after 10 o'clock in the evening, the dormitory manager would lock the door!
Shan Jiqing was left standing alone at the school gate, staring at Jian Jianan's back. He didn't know why he suddenly burst into laughter. Forget it. Didn't he know from the beginning that she was a piece of wood? Just because she didn't understand now didn't mean she wouldn't understand in the future.
As long as she stays by his side, she will get used to her company. Although Jian Jianan still doesn't understand why Shan Jiqing is treated differently from others, she will definitely understand when the real opportunity comes.
Jian Jianan ran back to the dormitory like a gust of wind, and inevitably her classmates saw her running on the campus.
Liu Huan patted Yan Wenxin's shoulder and nodded at him: "Hey, hey, hey, brother Wenxin, look, isn't that who? Why did you come back so late? Didn't he go out to work part-time again? Look how dirty he is. Why is there wall dust on his body? There are patches of white powder. Did he go out to work as a painter?"
Yan Wenxin looked at Jian Jianan. She went out to clean up the house today, which was naturally not a clean job, so it was inevitable that there were some dirt on her body.
Unexpectedly, Jian Jianan, who owns five apartments, is now seen by them as a female college student who has to work hard to make a living.
Yan Wenxin said calmly: "Jian Jianan went out to work to supplement his family income. This spirit is worth learning from."
Yan Wenxin was a little upset because of Liu Huan's commotion in the morning, so she had not been in a good mood with him today.
"However, classmate Jian Jianan works so hard, but I wonder if she can keep up with her studies?"
"I just hope that this first place in the grade isn't just a flash in the pan!"
