Chapter 25
There were only a few students in the classroom at this time, but when Feng Tian entered the classroom, some students still glanced at him.
In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Feng Tian did not choose to give the comic book to Mo Wenwen directly. Instead, he sat in his seat and looked around for several minutes. After making sure that several other students were busy with their own things, he turned around.
Feng Tian was actually quite afraid of the two of them, but in comparison, he was more afraid of Bai Yan. Fortunately, Bai Yan was sleeping, otherwise Feng Tian wouldn't even dare to give away comic books.
Mo Wenwen, who was in a daze, suddenly saw Feng Tian's face in his sight, and Feng Tian was still staring straight at him.
Mo Wenwen felt very baffled. She hated being stared at like this. Mo Wenwen was about to lose her temper when she accidentally glanced at the comic book in Feng Tian's hand.
Mo Wenwen has different interests and hobbies from Bai Yan. When she has nothing to do, she likes to read novels and comics, and of course TV series.
The comic book Feng Tian bought was adapted from a novel. Mo Wenwen happened to have read that novel half a year ago, and she recognized the title at a glance.
Mo Wenwen almost wanted to ask Feng Tian which bookstore he bought this comic book from.
But before Mo Wenwen opened her mouth, Feng Tian spoke first, "Well, I may not be able to help you with publicity. You also know what the classmates in the class think. Many students don't believe it at all. I can't help you with anything."
Thinking about you, after thinking about it, I still think I should give you something. I don’t know what you like, so I just bought a comic book."
After Feng Tian finished speaking, he put the comic book on her desk.
Mo Wenwen was still very excited in her heart, but she responded calmly on the surface, "It's okay if we don't publicize it. It's not easy to clean up the reputation of Yanyan and I, so I reluctantly accepted this comic book."
Feng Tian was relieved when he heard Mo Wenwen's response. Just now he was a little worried whether Mo Wenwen would accept it.

Chen Ju's friends were all made when he was a student and were about the same age as him. However, all of his friends were married and had children. Only Chen Ju was unmarried and single.
Chen Ju's friends are all traveling around for work, and he is also busy all year round. Chen Ju and his friends may not see each other for several years.
When he signed a big deal before, Chen Ju would treat his old colleagues in the company to a treat to celebrate, but last week, that old colleague also resigned due to health reasons.
Chen Ju no longer had any close friends who could share his joy. The big deal signed by Chen Ju was an easy task in the eyes of his colleagues, because they knew that the boss of the other company was Chen Ju's brother-in-law.
But they don't understand how much Han Mushi is a picky person. He may be friendly to outsiders, but he is particularly indifferent to his family and relatives.
The deal was only possible because of Chen Ju's own negotiation. In addition, the project also had a trend of sustainable development, so Han Mushi signed it.
Chen Ju was in this company, and even his assistant barely got to know him. It was clear that Chen Ju did not sign the contract based on connections.
Chen Ju suddenly wanted to invite his assistant to celebrate. When he went to work in the afternoon, he asked: "Xiaoshu, are you busy after get off work today?"
The assistant put down what he was doing, looked back at Chen Ju and said, "Something's wrong. My mother is hospitalized. She has to go to the hospital after get off work for the past two days to change shifts. What's wrong? Do you have something important? Could it be someone? Is there something wrong with the project? If you really need me to go, I can call my brother and ask him to go to the hospital to take care of you tonight."
Chen Ju responded hurriedly: "It's nothing."
The assistant always felt that Chen Ju was lying, but he was still busy with a lot of work at hand and had no time to ask Chen Ju what the important matter was.
Not long after, Chen Ju finally had some free time. He opened his phone and scrolled through his circle of friends, and soon saw a familiar photo.
The contact information of Chen Ju's former classmates at university is still there. There is a former female classmate who posted a message about a blind date in Moments. The text states the conditions and the picture is a photo of the friend who wants to go on a blind date.
The woman in the photo was undoubtedly Jiang Mengmeng. Chen Ju was so surprised that he almost lost his grip on the water glass.
Before, he thought Jiang Mengmeng was already married, but this circle of friends actually said that she was still single and had never been married.
Chen Ju calmed down quickly. He didn't know if he still had feelings for Jiang Mengmeng, but if he had to get married, he would prefer her to be the woman he married.
After get off work in the evening, Chen Ju sent Bai Yan home as usual, and then drove to Jiang Mengmeng's place of work.
In fact, he is a little afraid to take the initiative. After all, after so many years, everyone will change. Just like him, his temperament has become more outgoing now.
He didn't know how much Jiang Mengmeng had changed, and whether being too proactive would make her feel disgusted...
As soon as Chen Ju got off the car, he saw Jiang Mengmeng coming out of the cake shop.
In addition to parked cars, there are also some battery cars and bicycles. Jiang Mengmeng was going to deliver the last order of cakes. By coincidence, her battery car was right next to Chen Ju's car, only a few steps away.
Jiang Mengmeng knew that Chen Ju was staring at her, and she tried very hard not to look at him, but in the end she couldn't help but glance over.
The moment their eyes met, Jiang Mengmeng's heart skipped a beat. Although Chen Ju was no longer the young boy he once was, the moment he looked into Chen Ju's eyes, Jiang Mengmeng's mind suddenly flashed that he had peeked at Chen Ju in college.
The scene where he was discovered.
Jiang Mengmeng said hurriedly without thinking: "Chen Ju, long time no see. Are you here to buy cakes? Or is your pet at home sick?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Mengmeng realized that she had slipped her words.
Chen Ju was slightly stunned. He began to try hard to recall that he had never seen Jiang Mengmeng before, but it was possible that she had seen him.
Sure enough, the next moment Jiang Mengmeng explained to Chen Ju, "This place is quite close to the pet hospital. Last time I went out to buy fruit, I accidentally saw you going in."
Chen Ju came to his senses and hummed. He lowered his eyes and realized that Jiang Mengmeng was holding something in his hand.
Chen Ju's mind quickly turned twice, and then he asked: "Are you going to deliver cakes?"
She nodded.
"It just so happens that I have something to tell you. Let me send you there. Where do you want to send it?"
Chen Ju's sudden enthusiasm frightened Jiang Mengmeng out of her wits. In her impression, Chen Ju was clearly a quiet and honest boy. In the past few encounters, Chen Ju also seemed to be quite aloof.
Chen Ju immediately realized that he was a little too proactive. He clenched his fist and put it to his lips, coughing twice as if to cover up his embarrassment, and then continued: "Don't get me wrong, it's nothing else, it's just that we haven't seen each other for a long time.
I’m an old classmate, and suddenly I have a lot to say.”
Jiang Mengmeng was naturally happy to take Chen Ju's car. She responded with a smile: "Okay, then please take me there."
A few minutes later, Chen Ju drove his car towards the delivery place. He originally thought the atmosphere would be more cheerful, but it seemed to be even more awkward when he got into the car.
Chen Ju didn't know how to start the conversation, or even what to say.
It wasn't until at a traffic light intersection that Jiang Mengmeng spoke first. She deliberately pretended not to know and said, "I heard that all of you who have a successful career are probably already married. We met by chance in a maternal and child store before."
Chen Ju: "I'm not married. I bought it for my colleague's child last time. Maybe it's because I'm quite dull and don't like the opposite sex."
Jiang Mengmeng raised her lips for a moment, but she quickly remembered that Chen Ju had been confessed to in high school, and had someone he directly pursued in college.
But Chen Ju didn't know her in high school, and Jiang Mengmeng didn't dare to mention it. She asked, "Didn't you get chased by a girl from the next class in college?"
At this point in the conversation, the green light suddenly turned on. Chen Ju stepped on the accelerator. He was silent for a few seconds before responding: "It seems so. How did you know about this?"
She responded: "I heard it from my roommate in college."
At that time, Jiang Mengmeng really heard what her roommate said about this. At that time, her mood almost hit rock bottom. Although Chen Ju clearly refused at the time, there were also many gossiping classmates who talked about it behind her back.
Jiang Mengmeng mistakenly believed that he actually liked the girl a little bit, but he rejected her cruelly due to some unavoidable reasons.
The topic suddenly stopped here, and they stopped talking. Driving was much faster than riding a scooter. Chen Juyou deliberately drove slowly, but he still reached his destination quickly.
Jiang Mengmeng got out of the car with the cake while she was on the phone. After giving the cake to the store employees, she turned back, opened the passenger door again and got in.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Jiang Mengmeng always felt that Chen Ju seemed to have something to say to her.
On the way back in the car, Chen Ju couldn't help but tell her, "Actually, I didn't want to get married or find a girlfriend at all before. A few years after graduating from college, I started being urged to get married by people around me. I don't know how in the past two years.
My parents didn't mention it much, but my sister always introduced me to blind dates."
"I used to refuse because I was busy with work. This year, I suddenly wanted to start a family. However, I still don't want to meet through blind dates. I always thought that I could find someone from my classmates who I knew well before, or I could meet them slowly in the future."
"But you should also know that for people our age, almost all our former classmates are married."
Chen Ju's current temperament is particularly direct, probably because he has been a leader these years. These words are so connotative that he almost wants to marry her.
When Jiang Mengmeng heard what Chen Ju said, she immediately started to overthink it, because it was a former college friend she contacted specifically and asked that friend to post it on Moments, just to let Chen Ju see it.
Jiang Mengmeng said cooperatively: "We are quite similar. I didn't want to get married before. Maybe it's because I'm a little older now that I suddenly want to start a family."
The two of them fell silent again for a moment.
When sending Jiang Mengmeng to the door of the cake shop, Chen Ju also got off the car. A man passing by who happened to be handing out flyers forced one of them to pass by.
Chen Ju took a look at the content on the flyer and saw that a new store had opened nearby. It was full of entertainment facilities, including shooting and racing, as well as interesting games such as mazes and secret rooms. For the first two days of the new store's opening, there was a half-off discount.
Jiang Mengmeng also read the content on the flyer. Just as she was about to go back to the store, she heard Chen Ju behind her say, "Should we give it a try?"
Jiang Mengmeng's heart trembled slightly, probably because everything they talked about on the road was about marriage, and she almost thought that Chen Ju was talking about marriage.
But Jiang Mengmeng soon came to her senses. She clutched the flyer tightly, turned around and responded with a smile, "Okay."
The day when the new store opened happened to be a Sunday, and Chen Ju had some free time. It just so happened that Chen Ju took this opportunity to add Jiang Mengmeng's contact information.

When Bai Yan went out to walk his dog at night, he deliberately stayed at the entrance of the convenience store for a while. Through the glass door, Bai Yan saw Gu Shao'an sitting at the cashier.
He was reading a book quietly as usual. Bai Yan got up inexplicably in the morning and asked for the ice water that Shao'an gave her. She was a little confused at the time and didn't even say thank you to him.
Bai Yan stood hesitantly for several minutes, but Jin Mao couldn't stand it any longer. He ran frantically toward the street in front of him, and Bai Yan, who was unprepared, was dragged away by Jin Mao.
However, when he came back and passed the convenience store again, it was Bai Yan who forced the golden retriever to go in.
Gu Shaoan did not raise his head to see who came in, he was still immersed in silent reading.
It wasn't until Bai Yan put the iced oranges on the cashier table that Gu Shaoan picked them up and scanned them, but he still didn't realize that the person buying the things was Bai Yan.
The reason why Gu Shaoan is so relieved is that the convenience store is equipped with surveillance cameras, and most of the people who come to the convenience store are nearby residents. If you really have something to worry about at night, you can use the surveillance cameras to find out who stole it.
After scanning the price, he said: "Three yuan."
Bai Yan took out a three-dollar coin from her pocket and put it on the cashier table. However, she did not take away the orange. Instead, she said: "This is the water for you to drink. To be precise, this water should be counted as
Give it back to you."
After Gu Shaoan heard the particularly familiar voice, he raised his head suddenly, and then stared at Bai Yan's face in a daze for a few seconds.
When Gu Shao'an usually visits the store, he can eat whatever he wants in the convenience store. In this case, it is considered as spending money to drink.
Seeing that Bai Yan was about to leave, he hurriedly said, "But the drink you bought is two yuan more expensive than mine."
Bai Yan took back the steps she had just taken. She turned to look at Gu Shao'an, and then responded: "It's not as expensive as my swollen forehead. By the way, I forgot to say thank you for the bottle of ice water you gave me.
