Chapter 1130: Chapter 646: The Taste Is a Bit Strange
Quiet night, quiet house.
Xue Chuchu saw two messages.
One was a body photo sent by a girl.
The other was, “[Did you do it tonight?]”
Do what?
What did she want him to do?
Xue Chuchu stared at the chat page, the emotions fading from her face, eventually turning cold.
She silently put down her phone, knowing that this wasn’t a place she should stay.
She also realized why Tongtong had asked Jiang Ning to play games just now and he refused, turns out he was waiting here.
“I won’t bother you anymore.”
Xue Chuchu said such a thing, with a hint of emotion in her words.
Jiang Ning keenly caught on.
His Divine Sense had already detected the message sent by Bai Yuxia, before the evening study session, he had told Bai Yuxia that if she had time tonight, she should finish the ring.
Who would have thought that the usually steady Bai Yuxia would send such a misleading message?
Jiang Ning’s expression was calm as he asked, “What disturbance?”
Xue Chuchu said nothing, just gazed at the phone on the desk.
Jiang Ning got up to find his phone, browsed the messages, and then took a photo of the nearly shaped green jade ring, sending it off casually.
He added a voice message: “Almost done carving, just needs some polishing.”
Seeing Jiang Ning’s reaction, Xue Chuchu then realized that she might have overthought it, turns out he was just carving a ring for someone.
Wait, why is he carving a ring for another girl?
Is Jiang Ning’s good friend from school?
Does Tongtong know about this?
Her previously stalled thoughts started to weave chaotically again.
Immediately, Xue Chuchu got a grip on herself, suddenly realizing why she should bother thinking about such irrelevant things?
What does it have to do with her?
Having figured this out, Xue Chuchu’s mind calmed down, like a pool of tranquil autumn water.
With a hint of aloofness between her brows, she said softly, “Alright, I’m heading home.”
Then, she turned and left, leaving behind the silhouette of a white dress.
Jiang Ning noticed the contrast in Chuchu’s reactions, which slightly surprised him, he thought about using his Divine Sense to investigate, but eventually decided against it.
“Interesting.” Jiang Ning gazed at the deep night outside, rubbing the green jade ring.
…
Late October morning, the river dam was shrouded in light mist, the trees on either side of the road stood sickly.
Xue Yuantong sat sideways on the back seat of a mountain bike, arms crossed, laughter resounding:
“Hahaha, my mom actually dared to confiscate my phone last night, this morning I gave her a lesson right after getting up!”
Jiang Ning: “What lesson?”
Xue Yuantong: “Hmph, my mom has a day off today, she could’ve slept longer, but before I went to school, I deliberately woke her up to tell her that I have vacation this afternoon!”
Hahaha, just thinking about her mom’s expression, Xue Yuantong felt a great sense of revenge.
Jiang Ning advised, “Is it necessary?”
Xue Yuantong gave him a sideways glance, sitting up straighter, she said proudly, “It’s time to change the rules of this house!”
After reveling for a while, Xue Yuantong snorted again, staring at Jiang Ning without speaking, seemingly waiting for him to say something.
Jiang Ning praised, “Very clever tactic, high, really high!”
Upon hearing this, Xue Yuantong was satisfied, feeling extremely pleased.
However, she didn’t float too much, instead humbly said, “It’s just a method of sacrificing a thousand to kill eight hundred, nothing worth mentioning!”
Jiang Ning thought to himself, “Eight hundred? More like eight thousand?”
He looked at Tongtong with sympathy, hoping that tonight, her smile would be as bright as it is now.
…
Saturday, the most favorite day for sophomore students, after the second period in the afternoon, they can go home.
Dong Qingfeng took out the Evergreen Liquid invitation he had exchanged for and generously displayed it to several girls.
Even though everyone had seen it online, when the physical invitation appeared in front of them, it was still awe-inspiring.
The invitation, set on deep black paper, appeared solemn and elegant, with intricate gold-embroidered lines flowing across it, depicting a medicinal herb full of ancient charm, the overall style was very comfortable, simple yet noble.
“So beautiful!” Jiang Yanan couldn’t help but exclaim.
Yu Wen was also moved, even Wang Yong and Chen Qian next to them came over to admire it.
Especially Wang Yong, who came from a prestigious family, had recently gotten close with Lin Zida and Zhuang Jianhui, yet the Evergreen Liquid invitation still eluded him.
This thing was too precious, Yuzhou officials had quotas, but Wang Yong’s family’s status wasn’t high enough to qualify.
He couldn’t even imagine, if he could attend the Evergreen Liquid launch event, even if not for the event, just the banquet, Wang Yong would have the chance to meet the top circles of Yuzhou.
Unfortunately, he wasn’t selected!
Thinking about how there were 6 spots in the class, Wang Yong was full of regret, why wasn’t he included?
“The hand feel of the invitation is great, very solid, and for some reason, just looking at it, I fell in love.” Yu Wen said.
Chen Qian also commented from the side, after glancing at the gold embroidery on the invitation, “Because there’s gold on it, liking gold is human nature.”
Many classmates gathered to view Dong Qingfeng’s invitation, secretly pleasing him.
“Qing’e, do you want to take a look?” Yu Wen asked.
Shen Qing’e smiled reservedly, “No, thank you.”
Actually, she had seen the real face of the invitation earlier than her classmates because Jiang Ning’s parents mailed it directly to his uncle’s house.
But it had nothing to do with her.
“Dong Qingfeng, I heard there’s a luncheon for the Evergreen Liquid tomorrow noon, at Guanlan Mansion by Snowflake Lake, are you planning to attend?”
The Evergreen Liquid release isn’t just a single event, there are several parts to it.
