Xue Chuchu stared at the chat page, the emotion on her face gradually faded, and eventually turned cold.
She put down her phone silently, knowing that this was no longer the place she should be.
She also understood why Jiang Ning refused when Tongtong asked her to play games just now. It turned out that he was waiting here.
"Do not bother you."
Xue Chuchu said something like this, and there seemed to be a hint of emotion in her words.
Jiang Ning captured it keenly.
His consciousness had already discovered the news sent by Bai Yuxia. Before studying tonight, he told Bai Yuxia that if he was free tonight, he would get the ring ready.
Who would have known that Bai Yuxia, who had always been calm and composed, would actually send such misleading words?
Jiang Ning looked calm and asked, "What are you disturbing me for?"
Xue Chuchu said nothing, just stared at the mobile phone on the desk.
Jiang Ning stood up and found his cell phone. After browsing the messages, he took a photo of the cyan jade ring that was almost ready to take shape and sent it to him.
By the way, he replied with a voice: "It's almost done, let's polish it again."
Seeing Jiang Ning's reaction, Xue Chuchu realized that she seemed to be overthinking it. It turned out that he just carved a ring for someone.
Wait, why did he carve rings for other girls?
Is he Jiang Ning's good friend at school?
Does Tongtong know these things?
The originally stagnant thoughts began to intertwine in confusion again.
Immediately, Xue Chuchu decided in her heart that she suddenly woke up. Why was she thinking about these unimportant things?
What does it have to do with her?
After clarifying this point, Xue Chuchu's mood calmed down, like a pool of quiet autumn water.
There was a faint sense of alienation between her brows, and her tone was soft: "Well, I'm going home."
Then, she turned around and left, leaving behind a silhouette in her white dress.
Jiang Ning noticed the contrast between Chu Chu and Chu Chu, which surprised him a little. He originally wanted to use his spiritual consciousness to investigate deeply, but after thinking about it, he finally gave up.
"It's interesting." Jiang Ning looked at the deep night outside and rubbed the sapphire ring.
…
In the early morning of late October, the river dam was shrouded in light mist, and the trees on both sides of the road stood diseased.
Xue Yuantong was sitting on the back seat of the mountain bike, with his arms folded across his chest and loud laughter:
"Hahaha, my mother dared to confiscate my mobile phone last night. When I got up this morning, I immediately taught her a lesson!"
Jiang Ning: "What lesson?"
Xue Yuantong: "Humph, my mom has a day off today and could have slept a little longer. I woke her up before going to school today and told her that I would have a day off this afternoon!"
Hahaha, when he thought of the ** expression, Xue Yuantong suddenly felt that a great revenge had been avenged.
Jiang Ning advised: "That's not the case."
Xue Yuantong glanced at him sideways, her waist straightened even more, and she said proudly: "It's time to change the rules of this family!"
After feeling proud for a while, Xue Yuantong snorted again and stared at Jiang Ning without speaking, as if preparing to let him speak.
Jiang Ning praised: "A very powerful method, high, really high!"
As soon as he said this, Xue Yuantong was satisfied and felt very comfortable all over.
However, she did not act too harshly, but said modestly: "It's just a way to kill a thousand enemies and damage yourself eight hundred, it's not worth mentioning!"
Jiang Ning thought: "Eight hundred? Is it a self-destruction of eight thousand?"
He looked at Tongtong with pity, hoping that tonight, her smile would still be as bright as it is now.
…
Saturday is the favorite day for high school sophomores. After the second class in the afternoon, they can go home.
Dong Qing
Feng took out the redeemed Muchangqing invitation and generously showed it to several girls.
Although everyone has seen it online, when the physical invitation is displayed in front of you, people are still amazed.
The invitation is made of deep black paper, which looks solemn and elegant. On it, exquisite gold embroidered lines flow, and an herb full of ancient charm is embroidered. The overall style is very comfortable, simple yet noble.
"So beautiful!" Jiang Yanan couldn't help but marvel.
Yu Wen was also shocked, and even Wang Yong and Chen Qian next to him came to pay their respects.
Especially Wang Yong, who was born in a large courtyard, and in the past year or two, he has been involved with Lin Zida and Zhuang Jianhui, but he still has no chance to get the invitation letter from Changqingye.
This thing is so precious. There is an official quota in Yuzhou, but Wang Yong's family is not ranked at all.
He couldn't even imagine that if he could attend the press conference of Evergreen Liquid, even if he didn't attend the press conference and it was just a banquet, Wang Yong would even have the opportunity to meet the top disciples of Yuzhou.
Unfortunately, I didn’t win!
When he thought that there were actually 6 places in the class, Wang Yong felt extremely regretful. How could he not be there?
"The invitation feels very nice and thick, and I don't know why, but I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it," Yu Wen said.
Chen Qian was also there. He took a look at the gold embroidery on the invitation and explained: "Because there is gold on it, it is human nature to like gold."
Many classmates came to see Dong Qingfeng's invitation, which made him feel happy.
"Qing'e, do you want to take a look?" Yu Wen asked.
Shen Qing'e smiled reservedly: "No need."
In fact, she saw the true nature of the invitation letter earlier than her classmates because Jiang Ning's parents mailed it directly to his uncle's house.
But, it has nothing to do with her.
"Dong Qingfeng, I heard that there will be a lunch at Changqingye at noon tomorrow at Guanlan Washington Mansion on the edge of Xuehua Lake. Are you ready to attend?"
The Evergreen press conference is not just one press conference, there are many processes during it.
Dong Qingfeng: "Let's go, I heard that it is the most suitable building for viewing the lake in Yuzhou, and this time Changqingye has invited chefs from all over the world."
Not only that, since Changqingye bought Guanlan Washington Mansion, it hired domestic designers to transform it into a hotel specifically to entertain guests from out of town.
Moreover, many floors are not open to the public on weekdays, so I don’t know what is being made there.
As soon as this statement came out, there was all kinds of envy.
However, not everyone likes to listen to it. Some students who did not win the invitation letter feel uncomfortable the more they listen to it.
"You can't go, what are you envious of there?" Song Sheng poured cold water on him.
Yu Wen immediately retorted: "We didn't get the invitation letter, can't we take a look?"
Song Sheng narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "You are just looking at people's income!"
Seeing that the temper was getting worse, squad leader Xin Youling changed the subject: "Lunch at Changqingye is tomorrow. Let's see what dishes are available in the cafeteria at noon."
Yu Wen wanted to continue to refute, but Jiang Yanan stood up and smoothed things over: "Hey, the food in the cafeteria is not bad. I guess it will be mutton for lunch today. I haven't eaten cumin mutton for a long time."
Chen Qian adjusted his glasses and said, "As expected, it will be chicken at noon today."
Dong Qingfeng put away the invitation and said: "Let's make a bet. I guess it's duck. Who bets? The winner will drink milk tea for free!"
He took a pen and notebook and was ready to play.
Chen Qian participated, and he was very confident in his guess: "I am chicken."
Jiang Yanan: "I am mutton."
Dong Qingfeng looked at Song Sheng, "Can you play?"
Song Sheng: "Play."
His expression changed and he was about to speak. Yu Wen had just been scolded and felt uncomfortable. She said angrily:
"You should choose fish."
Song Sheng didn't know why, "Why should I choose fish?"
Yu Wen smiled: "Because you like to find faults the most!"
Song Sheng was angry and said: "Alone
Let’s take a bet, who loses and who doesn’t eat lunch?”
Yu Wen: "I'm afraid of you? I choose a cow, what are you?"
Song Sheng's heart moved and he chose the one with the best chance of winning: "Pig."
Yu Wen pretended not to hear: "What, I didn't hear clearly!"
Song Sheng shouted angrily: "I am a pig! I am a pig! Did you hear that?"
Everyone around is laughing.
"Too bad, Asheng was tricked by the pea shooter!" Wang Longlong slapped his thigh and laughed.
Shan Kaiquan was amazed: "I thought she would only make a fool of herself."
Dong Qingfeng recorded the number of people participating in the rice guessing in his notebook. He closed the notebook and said, "The answer will be announced at noon."
"No need to bother." Jiang Yanan said.
After finishing speaking, she crossed the podium and came to the southwest corner of the classroom in front of everyone.
"What's the menu in the cafeteria for lunch today, Jiang Ning?"
When Jiang Ning heard this, he unfolded his consciousness and instantly spanned a distance of several hundred meters, extending to the kitchen in the cafeteria.
Suddenly, everything became clear.
He answered: "Fried chicken, dry-fried cauliflower, three delicacies soup, stir-fried flower armor..."
After Jiang Yanan heard this, he politely thanked him, then returned to his seat to discuss the answer with Dong Qingfeng and the others.
Song Sheng still didn't believe it. In his opinion, Jiang Ning was just talking nonsense.
"He said yes?" Song Sheng said disdainfully.
Jiang Yanan lobbied hard.
Well, Chai Wei paid attention to all these details.
Chai Wei didn't believe it either. He used to think Jiang Ning was just guessing, but every time he came to dinner, he would see that the dishes were not bad at all.
He also wanted to follow suit, but there was no news at all.
When Chai Wei saw Song Sheng's rebuttal, it was no surprise that soon all that disdain and rebuttal would turn into shock.
He was secretly unhappy, why should it be Jiang Ning's turn to do something good?
‘Damn it!’ Chai Wei got angrier as he thought about it, so he got up and went to the balcony outside to relax.
On his left was Cui Yumenggui, who was arm-in-arm. They looked greedily at the girls playing badminton downstairs, with expressions as if they wanted to eat those girls.
If they see a beautiful girl playing badminton, the two of them will give instructions and perform micro-management from a distance.
If you see a beautiful girl playing badminton with a boy, the two will curse viciously, showing their humanity to the fullest.
…
The back row of the classroom.
Guo Kunnan told Shan Kaiquan that he would not take the bus this afternoon and would stay in Yuzhou to attend a grand meeting.
"Brother Quan, get up!" Guo Kunnan looked intoxicated and shook his legs crazily.
Shan Kaiquan silently returned to the back row. Ma Shicheng was opening Alpine candy bars and gave him one.
Shan Kaiquan put it in his mouth, and under Wang Longlong's protection, he was playing with his mobile phone. Suddenly, Xin Youling sent a message to the class group:
"New Year's Day is one month away. This year is different from last year. Principal Yu is planning to unite the whole school to hold a New Year's Day party, and then each grade will have some activities..."
Her speech aroused discussions among many students.
Shan Kaiquan's originally calm mood suddenly became a little impetuous.
He remembered last year's New Year's Day party, Bai Yuxia's dance, which was breathtakingly beautiful.
At that time, he still had people he liked and things to look forward to every day.
But more than a year has passed, and the world has changed dramatically.
There is no need to mention the past, people should always look forward.
Shan Kaiquan opened QQ and found the avatar of his schoolmate Lan Zichen. He clicked into the other person's space, ready to soothe his melancholy heart.
There are many photos in Lan Zichen’s space.
There was a photo taken in class, where she stood innocently on the podium and smiled brightly.
There was a photo taken in the strawberry garden. The pretty girl was carrying a flower basket filled with many strawberries.
Shan Kaiquan felt a little inferior because he had never been to the Strawberry Garden.
There are also photos taken by Lan Zichen in the car. Shan Kaiquan feels even more inferior because his family does not have a car.
Damn it, the more I look at Shan Kaiquan, the worse his mood becomes, and the more he looks at him, the uglier his face becomes.
Wang Longlong persuaded him nicely: "Brother Quan, give up."
Shan Kaiquan didn't say anything. He refreshed Lan Zichen's space. Perhaps due to fate, he actually saw Lan Zichen's words.
It's her side face reading a book at her desk. Her expression is focused, as if the whole world is condensed on the book. Her side face is not beautiful, but it is delicate and calm.
That is the face of first love without makeup.
The whole photo is full of tranquility and beauty, which people can't bear to break.
Shan Kaiquan clicked a thumbs up, and he was the first and only thumbs up.
He refreshed the page again. Lan Zichen's space was very popular. There were several more likes and two comments below.
He's not the only one anymore.
He suddenly felt a little sad.
Just like when he was wandering in the fields when he was a child, he accidentally discovered a small clear pond. He took his dip net to the pond every day to catch fish.
But one day, he came with a fishing net and saw a bunch of people standing by the pond. Some of them had lowered their cages, some were electrocuting fish, and some were adding medicine to the pond.
Obviously, he just wants to have a small pond that belongs only to himself...
‘Damn it, why does the candy in your mouth taste so bitter?”
Shan Kaiquan smiled bitterly. He refreshed it again. More people liked Lan Zichen and more people replied. Lan Zichen began to reply to others and communicate.
When Wang Longlong saw that he had painted a space like this, he asked, "Aren't you afraid that one day you will see someone posting a photo with your boyfriend?"
Shan Kaiquan was silent for a while and said, "Maybe that's the photo I'm waiting for."
Wang Longlong was puzzled.
After hearing this, Ma Shicheng asked, "Will you like their photo together?"
