Chapter 130: Chapter 125 Special Arrangement_2

Guo Kunnan almost couldn’t help but retort to Xue Yuantong:

“Are you looking down on me?”

Yang Sheng said, “Don’t be polite with me. Since they are free anyway, let them take out the trash or carry mineral water bottles.”

“You guys would definitely be happy to help your classmates, right?”

Ma Shicheng grimaced, “What else?”

However, in the end, Xue Yuantong still refused. Compared to the cheerful and easy-going Yang Sheng, Xue Yuantong was the type who didn’t like to trouble others, and she felt it was inappropriate.

Seeing Xue Yuantong refuse, Yang Sheng didn’t say anything further. She sized up the group, pondering how to deal with them. Items that came for free definitely had to be disposed of quickly.

Ma Shicheng, swept by her gaze, immediately felt guilty, as if he were facing a homeroom teacher. Just then, the school building outside the playground rang with the bell signaling the end of class.

“See you next week, I take my leave!”

The group dropped a line and ran off.

Watching their flustered figures, Yang Sheng stepped on the ping pong table, and her short hair swung with her vigorous movement, making her look even more dashing.

Ma Shicheng and the others ran out of the playground. Wang Longlong was slightly overweight and not very fit; he lagged behind, panting:

“Brother Ma, Brother Ma, don’t run so fast!”

“Wait for me.”

Ma Shicheng was still very loyal. Wang Longlong was his desk mate and also his audience in games. He decisively stopped and also asked Dan Kaiquan and the others to stop.

Dan Kaiquan looked down on Wang Longlong, “You can’t handle it, huh? Just ran a bit and you’re already exhausted. Don’t you exercise regularly?”

Wang Longlong thought to himself, what’s the use of your exercise, you’re just a simpleton, played by Yang Sheng like a monkey.

But he was the Wise Man, who relied on his brain to make a living.

However, Wang Longlong still appeared very honest on the surface, he said:

“No, I don’t train much. I’m no match for Brother Quan.”

Dan Kaiquan immediately said, “School starts next week. During evening self-study, I’ll take you jogging. We’ll come to the playground to run.”

Wang Longlong really didn’t want to exercise.

He looked at the others, thinking about how badly his friends had been screwed over today, probably in a bad mood. It was a good opportunity to deepen their bond, to set the stage for his big plans later on.

“I have some money recently. I’ll treat everyone to… deep-fried food and spicy hot pot, just choose whatever you like from the fry stand outside!”

Wang Longlong declared generously.

He had originally planned to treat everyone to barbecue, but barbecue was too expensive. With seven people at the scene, if they really let loose, it would probably cost 300 yuan.

Deep-fried food was much cheaper by comparison.

The eyes of the group lit up; who would have thought such a good thing was coming?

“Man, Brother Long, you’re so bold today!”

“Good job, Brother Long. I didn’t misjudge you.”

“From now on, whatever Brother Long says goes!”

Especially Dan Kaiquan, who shouted the loudest; there was nothing he could do, he had lost most of his money earlier, and his living expenses were currently borrowed from Jiang Ning.

He hadn’t eaten well in two days, and now Wang Longlong’s words were like heavenly music to his ears.

He instantly remembered the deliciousness of fried food—a fried chicken tender, covered in chili sauce and cumin powder, delicious with every bite.

Dan Kaiquan was about to salivate.

“Let’s go!” he slung an arm around Wang Longlong’s neck.

…

At the ping pong table, Yang Sheng left with her personal racket.

Only Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong were left.

The playground originally had many students, but now they were gradually heading outside. The noisy playground was starting to quiet down, bathed in the warm sunlight of the winter day.

On the basketball court, two groups continued playing basketball; a girl stood on the stage, students sat on the parallel bars in the distance, trying to use Wi-Fi. In the corner of the playground’s small garden, branches stretched through the iron fence on the wall, striving to reach the playground.

Jiang Ning wasn’t in a hurry to leave the school grounds and the two began playing ping pong.

Jiang Ning didn’t use his full strength, letting Xue Yuantong win a few games, so she thought her skills had improved, which made her even happier.

Due to the exercise, Xue Yuantong’s cheeks were flushed with a rosy tint, her slightly childish face brimming with joy and excitement.

The distant sunlight shone on her, enveloping her in a radiant, shimmering light.

“Jiang Ning, was I super amazing today?” Xue Yuantong put down her racket, looking like she was waiting for praise.

“Very amazing. Yang Sheng is no match for you.”

“Hehehe.” Xue Yuantong giggled, “Let’s stop playing for now. Shall we take a walk around the playground?”

The two walked onto the playground, not talking, just quietly walking together.

Jiang Ning wandered aimlessly, and couldn’t help but recall the past—he used to enjoy walking on the playground, which soothed his spirits.

Back when he had moved from the town to Yuzhou to study, facing a strange environment had weighed heavily on his heart.

He often came to the sports field alone for a walk, and after walking for a while, his troubles and melancholy would dissipate greatly, soothing his mood.

But in the past, he was always alone, not like now, accompanying a young girl.

Xue Yuantong’s forehead had cooled off a bit, feeling slightly chilly, so she tightened her clothes and sat down on the grass.

Jiang Ning stopped walking and sat down as well, to which Xue Yuantong scooted over, hugging his arm and resting her head against him.

The two of them clung together, the air still without a trace of wind, and warm sunlight poured down, their shadows sticking together as well.

After a while, Xue Yuantong turned her head to look at him.

Jiang Ning met her watery eyes,

“Jiang Ning, where do you want to go for university?”

“University?” Jiang Ning had been in Huai City before, but that place, he did not reminisce about.

“Maybe I’ll go to Linzhou,” he said.

“That’s a bit far,” Xue Yuantong thought about that, which would distance her far from her mother, a troubled expression appearing on her small face.

“Yes.”

“Jiang Ning, are you afraid of traveling far?”

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

“Not afraid.”

“I’m not afraid either,” Xue Yuantong said.

Jiang Ning glanced at her, “You are afraid.”

“Hmph, why would I be afraid!”

“Keep dreaming,” Jiang Ning didn’t believe her.

Xue Yuantong looked at Jiang Ning, her face stern, then suddenly, her expression changed and she said,

“Jiang Ning, don’t forget about me, okay?”

For some reason, Xue Yuantong felt compelled to say this.

Jiang Ning calmly responded, “I won’t forget.”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

Jiang Ning was very certain, having never forgotten for over two hundred years through countless changes, he would never forget in the future either.

Xue Yuantong brightened up again, “Then let’s seal it with a stamp.”

She extended her hand, pressed it against Jiang Ning’s palm, briefly touching.

“There, no backing out.”

Jiang Ning said, “Childish.”

“This is a promise!” Xue Yuantong declared seriously.

Jiang Ning lifted her cap, “Alright, don’t think too much, are you still eating? Let’s go.”

“Okay, let’s go, I’m treating today,” Xue Yuantong patted her purse.

As the two passed the school gate street, they saw Ma Shicheng and his group seated around a table at the fried food stall, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Ma Shicheng called out from afar, “Jiang Ning, coming to eat?”

“No.”

He walked away with Xue Yuantong.

Guo Kunnan bit into a fried skewer named ‘blood is thicker than water’ and wondered, “Are those two dating? They are together every day.”

Ma Shicheng said, “Doesn’t seem like it, but they are indeed very close. Jiang Ning ditched me to sit with her.”

Wang Longlong asked, “Am I not good enough?”

Dan Kaiquan sipped some milk tea, “Brother Long is my best brother.”

He was not only casual about eating fries but also had milk tea that Wang Longlong was treating—it really couldn’t get any better.

Dan Kaiquan, after another sip of milk tea, felt a bit elated, “Ignore Jiang Ning. Brothers, big news, I’ll have a girlfriend in at most a month!”

Wang Longlong was about to ask, are you planning to confess to Bai Yuxia?

But then he saw Guo Kunnan’s look and changed what he was about to say:

“On behalf of myself here, I wish Brother Quan early congratulations!”

Like Ma Shicheng, Cui Yu and the rest handed out their blessings, seeing but not pointing it out, such are the ways of the world.

Dan Kaiquan waved his hand, “When it’s official, I’ll treat you guys to a meal here again!”

The others thought, that meal was probably not going to happen.

Only Guo Kunnan encouraged, “My booze is still in the dorm, once you make it, I’ll crack it open immediately.”

“True brother!” Dan Kaiquan felt that Guo Kunnan was really great.
