Zhang Ningzhi was fully immersed in watching the movie, then turned her head and looked. Jiang Nian was asleep!! She was instantly so angry that her teeth itched, but then thought... he usually gets up early and stays up late to study, forget it. The girl withdrew an "anger," pouting as she continued to watch the movie. After half a minute, she saw his jacket about to fall to the ground and angrily picked it up, muttering softly. "Bad person, how can you sleep so deeply?" Suddenly, Jiang Nian opened his eyes. He met Zhang Ningzhi’s gaze as she picked up the clothes, and they were very close. A little closer, and they could kiss. "Ah!" Zhang Ningzhi bit her lip, suppressing the panicked voice in her throat, her eyes blinking rapidly, "I was helping you pick up your clothes." "Oh, oh, thank you." Jiang Nian also felt a bit awkward. He had just finished viewing Zhang Ningzhi’s memory fragments and was still a bit out of it, only able to stare blankly at the screen. Coincidentally, the movie in the screening room was also coming to an end. The light from the screen flickered, and the nervous girl reached out her hand. She carefully pinched his hand, then held it. The two took a taxi back to Zhen Nan, familiar scenery retreating past the car window, reflecting the girl’s smiling face. On the other side of the back seat, Jiang Nian’s expression was calm. It’s just... while looking through Zhang Ningzhi’s memory fragments, he kept feeling that something was off. After connecting the pieces, he realized something. The "Jiang Nian" graduated from university and broke up with Song Xiyun. After struggling in the company and becoming an old hand. During a market department assignment to the south, he met Zhizhi and then planted the seeds of a heart-stirring feeling. But later on, the more he looked, the more things seemed wrong. The second reunion came too long after the first. Clearly, Zhang Ningzhi was more proactive, happy over trivial matters. However, "Jiang Nian’s" enthusiasm had waned. He was more driven by instinct, sometimes moved, sometimes numb. Simply put, his emotions wouldn’t fluctuate much. There was someone else living in his heart. When Jiang Nian saw this part, he instinctively felt that a segment was missing in the time the "two people" met again. And in this segment, a special person appeared. It could be Xiao Song after the breakup, or Xu Qianqian. Or the class monitor, or maybe the "ex-wife"? Hmm, the ex-wife also worked at an advertising company. This is one of the reasons for his distraction in the cinema; as for another reason, it’s because of..... In the future timeline of the system, "Jiang Nian" isn’t at all scummy. When "he" realized that there was someone living in his heart, he candidly told Zhizhi, and then they broke up. The two went through a very painful time, followed by breaking up and getting back together, with Zhang Ningzhi mostly being the one to proactively reconcile. Until that winter when he broke his leg, the girl journeyed across miles. At their final parting, she left behind a phrase. "People say that Luoyang’s flowers bloom like brocade, but when I came, it wasn’t spring." After reading this, even though he’s just a little someone now, not worth much, he still felt a bit upset. In another timeline, the "Jiang Nian" is an insider and probably thinks Zhang Ningzhi will let go with time. But he has the system and sees their life states at thirty-eight. Zhang Ningzhi arrived many years later, so she waited for him for another ten years, wasting her youthful years . "Damn, truly despicable." He cursed softly, only to be overheard by Zhang Ningzhi with sharp ears. She turned her head and looked at him, asking. "Oh, I was talking about Li Hua." Jiang Nian took out his phone, "He’s been gaming all afternoon, truly worthless!" "Oh, I see." Zhang Ningzhi nodded, then uneasily added, "Don’t get corrupted by the team leader." "Cough." Jiang Nian nodded, thinking over the saddest things in his life to stop himself from smiling, "Okay, okay!" "Lost again!!" Li Hua exclaimed in the internet cafe as the crystal exploded, his face turning red, "No, no!!" Next seat over, Ma Guojun’s face was calm. He had gotten numb from losing. He took off his headphones and turned to look at Li Hua. His chubby face twitched and burst into laughter from anger. After logging out, Li Hua walked out with Ma Guojun, struggling to explain, and was suddenly interrupted by Old Ma. He pointed not far away, squinting his beady eyes. "Damn, don’t those two backs look a bit familiar? Damn, it’s Jiang Nian and Zhang Ningzhi!" By coincidence, Jiang Nian and Zhang Ningzhi were discussing where to eat; someone, for some reason, felt a bit guilty. No! Refuse to share the guilt! Oh, it’s all my doing, anyway? Then..... (scratching head) (awkward) I’ll share it myself. Hard to imagine that the future straightforward me could do something . Being thrifty while spending extravagantly. Enduring many grievances, being cunning and falling into many traps. Mistakes sincerely made, what difference does it make? Turning around, both groups met each other’s eyes. "Chi Shi!! You guys!" "Indeed, you all are really something else." Ma Guojun pointed and gestured, "Treat us to a meal, or we’ll spill it." "What should we do....." Zhang Ningzhi looked at Jiang Nian. Unexpectedly, Jiang Nian even looked at her. "Treat us to a meal, or we’ll spill it." Zhang Ningzhi: "....." In the end, the four of them had a meal together. They didn’t talk about much, just some random things. After Zhang Ningzhi left, the interrogation began. "Speak! Where did you go?" "Went to the city for a meal, as I promised before." Jiang Nian seemed relaxed, after all, he was indeed innocent. He’d be executed if he lied about touching hands. "Didn’t do anything else?" Ma Guojun was skeptical, making a kissing gesture, "Spill it!!" "Nope." Jiang Nian took a sip of tea. "Chi Shi!!" Li Hua pointed at him, finger trembling, "Betrayal, damn it, betrayal!" "Seriously didn’t kiss, who says male and female can’t be friends?" Jiang Nian retorted, "You? Or Old Ma?" Hearing this, the two single guys were instantly dumbfounded. Could it be... that pure male-female friendship really exists? Or is it just stigmatized by society? "Do you think we’re idiots?" Li Hua grabbed his collar. "Hey, male-female friendships are fine." Jiang Nian said calmly, "But, what if it’s the best one in the world?" "This..." Li Hua racked his brain. However, a single guy can’t imagine something he’s never seen. So, he mumbled for a long time without saying anything definitive. The classroom was brightly lit. Li Hua and Ma Guojun, out of respect for Zhang Ningzhi’s financial prowess, decided to keep some secrets a little... under wraps. Huang Fang raised her head, feeling that the atmosphere in the group was a bit strange. "Leader, why aren’t you talking?" "Sigh, I’ve got nothing to say." Li Hua sighed, "Life, always catching you off guard with hurt." Hearing this, Zeng You turned around, chuckling. He took a shower in the dorm at noon, read a novel until he was sleepy. A little relaxation and he fell asleep in bed. "Don’t ask." Li Hua turned his head away. Zeng You looked puzzled, turned his head to Jiang Nian. "What’s up with him?" "I don’t know, he was fine in the afternoon." Jiang Nian said offhandedly, "Maybe... he lost something." Upon hearing this, Zeng You felt a bit guilty. He lost the pressure. "Chi Shi!!" Li Hua rolled on the desk in discomfort, "Why, why is heaven so unfair!" Tao Ran spread out the weekly Chinese test papers and coughed to announce. "Weekly test, weekly test." The whole class started complaining, slowly clearing their desks, grumbling as they found their seats. "I’m going over there, bye." Zhang Ningzhi was in a good mood, her heart full of sweet and sour thoughts. He must like me too, right? At least a little bit, less than I do but more than others, by a long shot. Read complete versıon only at 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢~𝙣𝙚𝙩 In her subconscious, her brain cells were extremely active. "Alright." Jiang Nian yawned, looking a bit carefree, "I’m heading over too, bye." In fact, he figured it out. Love always makes one feel indebted, but if that’s the case. He gave his heart, so no need for repentance. Little Laozi is often very kind. Besides, he had nothing, no right to ponder profound questions. The classroom was bustling with people. "Beibei, what were you doing at home this afternoon?" "Mahjong, my mom’s two sisters came over." Yao Beibei yawned, "They needed a fourth, so I joined the game." "I... I did nothing much." Zhang Ningzhi immediately felt guilty, walking clumsily, "Nothing much." "Something’s off..." Yao Beibei felt something was wrong, but she was too tired to ask further. "Yao Beibei, sneaking around?" Jiang Nian teased, "You look so listless, how many days have you been locked up?" "Idiot." Yao Beibei flipped a middle finger. On the podium, Cai Xiaoqing came up and addressed a few issues, mostly about being late or leaving early, and called out a few names. "I..." Li Hua felt even more bitter, justified but unable to explain, "Chi Shi Chi Shi!! Why is it !" For the weekly test, everyone sat down according to their student numbers. Jiang Nian sat down, turning to look at the class leader. A person with a clear conscience is , innocent with everyone. "Hmm?" Li Qingrong stared at him, hesitated a moment, then asked in confusion, "Does it have to be in the classroom?" "What about the classroom?" No, no, not that kiss. Jiang Nian rarely felt startled, though the class leader was usually aloof, she was quite efficient when doing serious work. "I didn’t mean that, I was just calling you." "Hmm." Li Qingrong nodded, she actually didn’t mean that either, just wanted to see Jiang Nian’s reaction. The sound of paper shuffling, the Chinese test papers and answer sheets were distributed. Jiang Nian was ready to write his student number and name when suddenly a Chinese test paper was handed over, with a line written on it. The handwriting was elegant, but the message was also direct. "When do you want to?" He was momentarily stunned, his first reaction was. To swap the test paper immediately, not let this paper stay alive. He lifted his pen, thought for a moment.
