It was already afternoon when the bus convoy returning from the "Forge" arrived at Ivy League University.
Qin Shi just stepped off the bus and was recognized before he could take out Jiang Ning's luggage from the luggage compartment.
"007!"
"James Bond!"
"Qin Shi, can I listen to "Croatian Rhapsody" and "Flight of the Bumblebee"?"
"..."
The students around him greeted Qin Shi with various names and asked him to play the piano.
Qin Shi has always been a "celebrity" in Ivy League University.
From the day he came to Ivy League University in Qin Dynasty, he was known as a "transfer student".
But at that time, Qin Shi was well-known because of the short video of being treated as a thief in Ivy Kingdom.
And now, it's because of his gorgeous appearance at the New Year's Eve party and his "Moonlight Sonata" that shocked the audience.
"007 appeared at the military training party!"
"Beethoven's famous songs set off the welcome party scene!"
“A surprising musical talent emerges from the School of Economics and Management!”
"..."
Videos and photos shot with mobile phones, accompanied by various eye-catching titles, have swept various student groups and short video platforms.
Qin Shi picked up Jiang Ning's 33-inch suitcase and walked towards the parking lot with Jiang Ning.
"Look, Qin Shi and Jiang Ning went to the parking lot together."
"Qin Shi also helped Jiang Ning push her suitcase."
"I thought it was a rumor, but it turns out they are really together."
"The 'number one school beauty' is just such a famous beauty."
"..."
When they saw Qin Shi and Jiang Ning going to the parking lot to pick up their car, there was another round of discussion behind them.
…
PARKING LOT.
Because it had been parked in the open air for a month, Jiang Ning's Beetle was already covered with mud spots.
Qin Shi opened the trunk of the Beetle, put Jiang Ning's suitcase into the trunk at an angle, opened the cab door, and sat on the driver's seat.
In the passenger seat, Jiang Ning fastened her seat belt, held her right hand empty, and pretended to be interviewing, and asked Qin Shi: "Qin Shi, let me interview you. How does it feel to be a celebrity?"
"I don't feel anything."
Qin Shi started the car, put it into gear, stepped on the accelerator and drove the car out of the parking space.
Because of Qin Shi's sudden acceleration, the safety belt pulled Jiang Ning, who was tilting her body to "interview" Qin Shi, back to her seat.
Realizing that she had been deliberately teased by Qin Shi, Jiang Ning kicked the pads under her feet angrily.
Qin Shi drove the Beetle and drove Jiang Ning away from the school.
While passing by the hypermarket, Qin Shi went to buy some fruits, vegetables and meat.
When Jiang Ning went to participate in military training, all the food in the three-door refrigerator in Jiang Ning's home was emptied. There was nothing in the house except rice in the rice bucket.
Jiang Ning, who had been sitting in the car waiting for Qin Shi, saw Qin Shi carrying shopping bags one by one and putting them into the trunk space left by the suitcases. She looked at Qin Shi with her big eyes flickering and asked:
"Qin Shi, what should we have for dinner?"
“Sauce-fried black tail shrimp, stir-fried pork, clam steamed egg, and stir-fried snow peas.”
Qin Shi started the car, drove out of the underground garage of the hypermarket, and said to Jiang Ning: "I'll simply process the rest and store it in the freezer. I'll just take it out when it's time to eat."
“Stir-fried snow peas without garlic!”
Jiang Ning reminded Qin Shi.
"I didn't buy garlic." Qin Shi replied.
As soon as the car left the underground garage and before it could get on the elevated road, Jiang Ning's cell phone rang.
Because it was connected to the car's Bluetooth, Qin Shi saw the number on the car's LCD screen.
It is a phone number without any name remarks.
Jiang Ning held the phone and looked at the phone number for a few seconds, then pressed the power button on the side of the phone and hung up the phone.
But just as Jiang Ning hung up the phone, the phone rang again.
When Jiang Ning didn't answer the call at first, Qin Shi thought it was a harassing call.
But the same number called again, and Qin Shi understood that this was not a harassing call, but that Jiang Ning simply didn't want to answer the call.
"Answer it. If you don't answer it, he will still keep calling. Since you can't escape it, let's not escape it."
Qin Shi looked at Jiang Ning and nodded to her encouragingly.
With Qin Shi's encouragement, Jiang Ning swiped the screen of her phone, answered the call, and said to the person on the other end of the phone, "Dad."
"Damn girl, you still know that I am your father?! You have strong wings now, right? You dare to hang up on me! If you don't answer the phone, I thought you died outside like your mother!"
The man on the phone yelled at Jiang Ning.
Qin Shi heard the sound coming from the car's Bluetooth and understood why Jiang Ning hung up the call in the first place.
Because the person on the phone was one of the people she least wanted to contact.
"Have you finished scolding?"
Jiang Ning said to her father on the phone, "If I'm done scolding you and you're satisfied, I'll hang up."
"Saturday is your grandpa's birthday party. Your grandpa asked you to come."
Jiang Ning's father said to Jiang Ning in a commanding tone: "Don't try any more tricks on me this time, or I'll break your legs! This time your shameless mother is not here, I wonder who else can
I can protect you!"
After saying that, she hung up the phone without waiting for Jiang Ning to answer.
Jiang Ning held the phone, lowered her head, and said nothing.
I don’t know if she is worried about her father’s threat to her, or is angry that her father called her mother “shameless”.
Qin Shi pressed the phone hangup button on the steering wheel, interrupted the busy beep tone, and asked Jiang Ning, "Aren't you going to attend your grandpa's birthday party?"
"Um."
Jiang Ning responded softly.
"Is it because of Tang Hao, or because of the people in the Jiang family? If you are worried that when you go to your grandfather's birthday party, you will meet Tang Hao and he will get engaged to you, then you can rest assured that I can help you get it done."
Qin Shi glanced at Jiang Ning, who was holding her cell phone and looking a little depressed, and said, "If you are afraid that your family will cause trouble for you when you arrive at the banquet, you can rest assured that I can help you sort it out."
"real?!"
Jiang Ning raised her head and looked at Qin Shi.
"certainly!"
Qin Shi replied firmly, "Master said that I must protect you. Anyone who is hostile to you will fall within the scope of my work."
"Just because of your master's orders?"
Jiang Ning stared at Qin Shi.
This was not the answer she wanted.
"Didn't you 'bought' me? Then of course I can't make you unhappy."
Qin Shi chuckled and said, "Otherwise, if you, the 'little rich woman', don't give me the money, wouldn't I suffer a big loss?"
"Yes! I was unhappy, so I froze your bank card! I won't give you a penny!"
Jiang Ning waved her fist at Qin Shi as a "threat."
