Chapter Index

    “I want to spend money, I’m in a hurry.”

    Jiang Nian was truly speechless; he’d run into a clueless woman today.

    First, he encountered a dumb front desk clerk, and then, after finally catching a female instructor who had switched jobs, she turned out to be a stiff, unresponsive blockhead.

    Apologize? Is apologizing all she can do?

    Your level of service would get you utterly annihilated in Japan! Service first, why aren’t you telling me to get a membership card?! I’m so angry I’m trembling, I have to actively try to spend money!

    Zhao Qiuxue was stunned, subconsciously uttering a single word.

    “Huh?”

    The agitated Jiang Nian finally calmed down. Xu Qianqian opened the anti-theft door and entered her home, turning back with a curious expression to ask,

    “Why are you so happy tonight?”

    “Oh, I found some money.”

    “Crazy.”

    The door closed with a bang.

    Xu Qianqian’s foot injury had healed significantly; she could apply the medicine herself. It didn’t matter if she massaged it with less strength, as it would heal in a day or two anyway.

    Old Xu called, saying he was on another business trip.

    Xu Qianqian calmly hung up the phone and walked into the empty house. After washing up, she sat in the living room in a thin nightgown, humming a song while applying medicine.

    As she applied it, tears began to fall, pitter-patter.

    At a snack stall on Jiaoyu Road.

    Song Xiyun met up with her mother, Zhao Qiuxue, right after evening self-study, uncharacteristically eating a late-night snack. She had already decided in her heart to live frugally from now on.

    Since her mother was laid off, she also had to shoulder family responsibilities.

    However.

    “Yunyun, Mommy made her first sale on her first day of work, isn’t that great!”

    “Huh?” Song Xiyun looked shocked, displaying an expression identical to the sweating emoji, “Didn’t you just resign today? Where did ‘first day of work’ come from?”

    “I switched jobs,” Zhao Qiuxue stuck out her tongue, showing off, “My old client, I brought him over.”

    “Oh, come on, your performance is zero.”

    Zhao Qiuxue: “Feeling wronged”

    Song Xiyun slapped her forehead, “Mom, just tell me the truth, let me give you some advice.”

    “I’m an adult, what kind of advice can a child like you give me?” Zhao Qiuxue wanted to reclaim her mother’s dignity, but it was useless.

    Seeing her daughter still staring at her, Zhao Qiuxue had no choice but to recount everything that happened that evening.

    “Don’t you think that little handsome guy is strange? Not only did he get a 998 membership card, but he also bought thirty classes at one hundred each. It all added up to a full four thousand yuan, so expensive.”

    Listening to her mother’s incessant chatter, Song Xiyun’s vision went black.

    “Mom, what did you say the person who made your sale was called?”

    “Oh, you mean that handsome young man, Jiang Nian~~ I heard he’s still a third-year high school student. I advised him not to buy classes, saying he wouldn’t have time, but he insisted on buying them.”

    The combination of those two words completely broke Song Xiyun’s already not-so-straight posture.

    “How could it be him!”

    “Yunyun, do you know that handsome young man?” Zhao Qiuxue asked curiously.

    “No, I don’t know him!” Song Xiyun said in horror, remembering the word “Dad” she had shouted earlier in the day. It was meant to lighten the mood, but now it was a literal boomerang.

    She made up her mind to find an opportunity to ask tomorrow.

    At the same time.

    Jiang Nian was gleefully staring at his bank card balance again and again. Although he didn’t know why, Zhou Haifei had given up on the idea for the morning’s task.

    Perhaps due to the displacement, Zhou Haifei twenty years in the future and the current Zhou Haifei were fundamentally different, as people’s thoughts change.

    He wouldn’t go to the gym, not at all.

    As for reselling the membership, he had no such plans for now. Who knew how the System would judge it? If he sold it as soon as the money arrived, what if it deducted the money again?

    In short, four thousand for twenty thousand was a massive profit, no loss.

    He currently had twenty-three thousand yuan in his card. A week ago, he was just a poor third-year high school student with only three hundred yuan to his name; now he was suddenly rich.

    Jiang Nian, feeling a bit inflated, tossed and turned, unable to sleep. He got up in the middle of the night for water and found his parents in the living room, lights on, talking while keeping accounts on a laptop.

    Li Hongmei looked worried, whispering something with Old Jiang. As Jiang Nian came out of his room, he asked curiously, only to be immediately rebuffed by his mother with a stern Face.

    “Go, go, go, why do children care so much? Go to sleep, you have school tomorrow.”

    “Alright.” Jiang Nian readily complied.

    The System task hadn’t refreshed yet, so after a few glances, he went to sleep.

    The next day.

    “Is your foot better?” Jiang Nian brought breakfast for Xu Qianqian as usual, looking at her with some suspicion, “Hey, why are your eyes red?”

    Xu Qianqian had washed up and was sitting in the living room waiting for him. Hearing his question, she turned her head unnatura lly.

    She was too embarrassed to say that yesterday, while applying medicine alone at home, she started thinking of her mother and couldn’t help but cry. She cried all night in her room, soaking her pillow.

    “I just… didn’t sleep well.”

    “Oh, oh, you haven’t applied the medicine yet, have you? Let me help you.” Jiang Nian squatted down, searching for the liniment, “Where did you put the medicine after applying it yesterday? You didn’t throw it away, did you?”

    “I can apply it myself.” Xu Qianqian lowered her head, touched her ankle, and pressed it, “It’s almost completely healed; I don’t think I need to apply medicine anymore.”

    Jiang Nian ignored her, grabbed her foot, and pulled it towards him.

    Her calf was fair and well-proportioned, cool to the touch. The taut calf outlined a graceful curve. Her delicate sole flashed by, and all five toes curled up.

    “I told you I didn’t need it,” she mumbled.

    “We’re going to be late, otherwise, do you think I’d be happy to do this?” Jiang Nian reached out and lightly poked her sole. Xu Qianqian instantly let out an “Ah,” and her toes curled up even tighter.

    “Ah~~” Jiang Nian mimicked her sound.

    Xu Qianqian’s Face immediately turned red, “Are you trying to die?! Jiang Nian!”

    Walking on the road, Xu Qianqian’s Face was still a bit red, and her ankle felt as if it retained some warmth.

    It wasn’t until they reached the stairs of the teaching building that she remembered.

    “Are you confident in English?”

    There were too many people on the stairs, most of them arriving just in time for class. Jiang Nian only had time to turn back and say one sentence.

    “Probably.”

    Ring, ring, ring!!!

    The class bell rang, and downstairs, sounds like a zombie horde charging immediately erupted. The bottom of the teaching building was like the end of the world, with students running frantically everywhere.

    Xu Qianqian opened her mouth to say something, but was ultimately swept away by the crowd.

    The first class was Math. Jiang Nian propped his head up, listening to the lecture. His eyelids drooped, his mind feeling sleepy, all because he was too excited last night, with two extra tens of thousands in his card.

    That delicate young woman even added him on WeChat. Jiang Nian felt it was unnecessary.

    Hah~~ sleepy.

    For third-year high school students, two math classes first thing in the morning at eight o’clock were simply Hell on earth.

    They finally endured until the third English class. The English teacher arrived late, carrying a stack of answer sheets, but with no smile on her Face.

    The class wasn’t afraid of the English teacher; their reaction wasn’t very strong, but they respectfully quieted down.

    “This exam, ahem.” The English teacher was a thirty-year-old woman who wore different clothes every day, and her bag on the podium cost over ten thousand yuan.

    “It was very bad. Only three people scored above 130 points!”

    Thanks to the great Wen Ba for the 1000 Qidian coin reward. Wishing the boss good waist and good kidneys!
