CHAPTER 746: CHAPTER 579: THERE’S A MOUSE BAR IN THE CAR

Hmm, is the class monitor going too?

Jiang Nian stroked his chin and pondered.

Sure, I can go.

"Qingqing, if I say there are too many people, would you get mad and not give me the sword?"

Silence from the other side for a few seconds, no response.

Li Qingrong: "What sword?"

"???" Jiang Nian was instantly baffled.

No way, changed your mind so quickly?

Qingqing’s gone bad too, swallowed her big sword. Not sure who taught her, probably Nie Qiqi.

Damn, sneaky smiling tiger!

"Alright, I actually don’t really want it that much." Jiang Nian said, "But I’ll probably be back by tonight."

Li Qingrong: "Alright."

Jiang Nian: "Even if you don’t give it to me, I won’t hold onto it. Because we’re both generous people."

"Good." Li Qingrong replied.

Jiang Nian: "So, really not giving it?"

Li Qingrong: "(smile)."

After ending the chat, Jiang Nian felt his heart ache. He had sacrificed so much to keep his promise.

Honest guy...

At midnight, Wang Yuhe sent him two QQ messages.

"I set off firecrackers today. [Picture]"

"Guess who lit the fuse?"

"Definitely not you," Jiang Nian replied, "You’re as timid as a mouse, surely holding your ears and hiding far away."

Soon, Wang Yuhe sent a shocked emoji.

"How did you know?"

"Fortune-telling."

"(Confused) Then tell me, what did I do today?" Wang Yuhe clearly didn’t believe it and sent a disdainful emoji.

"Sleep."

"(Stunned) Did you ask Yunyun?"

"Figured it out."

Jiang Nian thought since they just started vacation yesterday afternoon, there’s not much to do in the small town, what else to do but sleep on the first day.

But Wang Yuhe was shocked, with a look of disbelief.

"Really?"

"Yes, and I also predicted that you’ll tell Chen Yunyun in a while," said Jiang Nian, "She’ll reply with an exasperated emoji."

"Don’t believe it."

"Then let’s bet, loser has to bark like a dog."

"Deal."

Wang Yuhe returned to the message list and found the pinned chat with Chen Yunyun, exaggerating what just happened.

"Yunyun, isn’t it creepy?"

"(Speechless)."

Wang Yuhe was taken aback, covering her mouth in shock.

"Jiang Nian, is that you?"

Chen Yunyun: "?"

So, Wang Yuhe added more fuel to the fire, recounting her bet with Jiang Nian, then realized.

"Wuwuwu, I have to bark like a dog."

Chen Yunyun: "...."

She couldn’t quite understand, but respected their bet. After pondering, she carefully advised Wang Yuhe.

"Remember to sleep early, come find me to hang out tomorrow."

"Oh, okay."

After replying, Wang Yuhe felt anxious. Afraid that Jiang Nian would ask for the result, then demand she fulfill the bet on the spot.

However, during the latter half of the night.

She didn’t receive any message from Jiang Nian, finally breathing a sigh of relief. Groggily, she drifted off to sleep.

The next day, at 6:30 in the morning.

The sky was faintly lit.

Jiang Nian wrote questions until late at night, washed up and slept directly. But in the morning, his biological clock forced him to open his eyes.

He tossed and turned, unable to sleep, so he picked up his phone and checked it.

"Wang Yuhe, when are you going to bark like a dog?"

Seeing no response, he simply went to the class group (official) and found Wang Yuhe’s number to call her.

"Ring ring~~"

"Hello?" Wang Yuhe’s voice was sleepy.

"Why not barking like a dog?"

Upon hearing that, Wang Yuhe immediately snapped awake, instantly alert.

"You you you!!!"

"Oh, is that how a puppy barks?" Jiang Nian chuckled, "Come on, you’re not planning to renege on the bet, are you?"

In the end, Wang Yuhe relented.

"Woof woof woof....."

After barking, she quickly hung up the phone. Staring at her dimly lit room with the curtains drawn, she gritted her teeth in anger.

"Jiang Nian, you cheapskate!"

....

It was fully bright outside.

After freshening up, Jiang Nian prepared to go out for breakfast. Li Hongmei was awakened by the noise, so she got up as well.

"Oh, why is the young master up so early?"

"Woke up hungry." Jiang Nian patted his stomach, "Mom, did you get up early to make me breakfast?"

"I might as well feed you." Li Hongmei never spoiled her son, "If you want breakfast, go downstairs and buy it yourself."

Saying that, she turned and went back to her room.

Jiang Nian was not surprised by this at all, he turned and grabbed his keys before heading out. The streets were lively, but few stores were open.

"During the New Year, who’s selling breakfast?"

"Truly a dear mother."

".....Boss, why are you leaving!!"

Jiang Nian walked along the street, starving. Just when he felt he couldn’t make it, he caught a whiff of a delicious aroma.

"I can’t do this."

He had walked a lot, almost reaching the school entrance.

The school was mostly empty, leaving only a few staff on duty. After the New Year, some teachers would gradually return for training.

He couldn’t help but think of Zhou Haifei, she was probably in the dorms set up at the school, doing nothing.

After all, Lan Lan also needs to celebrate the New Year.

After walking for a while, only one shop selling rolled pancakes was still open. With no other choice, they had to make do with it.

"One with egg and ham sausage, please."

"Six yuan."

Before long, quite a few people had gathered in the area. Jiang Nian originally planned to leave, but then he saw someone he knew.

Lv Xuan was also in line.

She was wearing a fluorescent green sports jacket with tight-fitting workout pants, perfectly outlining her body contours.

"What are you doing here?"

"Hey, what a coincidence." Lv Xuan greeted proactively, waving her hand, "I came out for a run."

"It takes just twenty-one days to form a good habit!"

Jiang Nian thought for a moment and nodded.

"Yeah, but isn’t the holiday only eighteen days?"

Upon hearing this, Lv Xuan’s expression changed.

"You....."

"No worries, just take three days off." Jiang Nian said, "How about I treat you to a pancake?"

He hadn’t intended to treat her, just messing around like Pleasant Goat.

"No, no, let me treat you." Lv Xuan politely replied, taking another look at the pancake he was holding.

After a moment of silence, she suggested.

"Then let me get you a soy milk, or breakfast milk."

Jiang Nian nodded, "Sure."

Got hot soy milk without spending a penny.

Though Lv Xuan felt something was off, she also thought Jiang Nian was quite courteous to her.

The two of them chatted as they walked, and Lv Xuan ran into a classmate. Seeing the classmate’s sly smile, she felt embarrassed.

"Xuanxuan, going on a morning run with your boyfriend?"

"No....."

"Bye, I’m leaving first."

"Hey, it’s really not."

Jiang Nian wasn’t bothered by this little episode, finished his soy milk, tossed the cup into a garbage bin, and patted his hands, ready to leave.

"Bye, General Lv."

"Wait a minute, what are your plans for the New Year?" Lv Xuan asked, "Spending it together, or embracing?"

"Embrace my ass." Jiang Nian said.

"Hmm?" Lv Xuan was taken aback, turning her head, "Your progress is so fast, why didn’t you inform me?"

"Alright, New Year plans are....." Jiang Nian said, "I’ll be at my house, she’ll be at hers, celebrating together."

Lv Xuan was speechless, "Tch, who’d believe that."

....

"Jiang Nian."

"Why does your car smell?"

Yao Beibei opened the car door and stepped into the back seat. As for the front passenger seat, the young lady of Nanjiang Bay was sitting there.

"It smells fine to me, I can’t smell anything."

Zhang Ningzhi seemed to be in a good mood today, giving a soft smile with her cheeks puffed and her eyes forming crescent shapes.

Today she wore a creamy white undershirt with a dark grey knit cardigan over it, and a brown-green plaid skirt for the bottom.

A classic sweet girl outfit, full of youthful vibes.

"There are rat traps in the car, of course there’s a bit of a smell." Jiang Nian started the vehicle, "Having a ride is already a blessing."

"But it doesn’t smell like fries?"

"A rat died, rat trap." Jiang Nian made up a lie on the spot, "The body has decomposed, right under your seat."

"Whoa!!!"

"Beibei, don’t worry, he’s just messing with you." Zhang Ningzhi turned her head from the passenger seat, "This guy talks nonsense all the time."

"Hehe." Jiang Nian drove calmly.

Yao Beibei was a bit speechless but calmed down, saying, "Who says I offer a small drink to entreat the gentleman to come?"

He said, "Are you a legal illiterate? Driving while intoxicated is not allowed."

"You!! You really are something." Yao Beibei was furious, "Then I won’t go, let me off!"

"That’s not up to you anymore!" Jiang Nian lightly pressed the accelerator, the sudden push made both girls exclaim in surprise.

The car tires rolled over the dry road, speeding toward the outskirts of the town.

"Wow!" Zhang Ningzhi turned her head to look out the car window at Nanjiang on the other side of the highway, "What a beautiful river."

"Best seatmate ever, don’t stick your head out." Jiang Nian reminded.

"I’m not!" Zhang Ningzhi muttered; of course, she wouldn’t be so silly, "I’m just taking a look."

Yao Beibei watched the interaction between the two at the front, yawning in the back seat.

"Which town is Lin Dong in?"

"Shalin."

"Oh right, Shalin Town." Yao Beibei nodded thoughtfully, "So, where is it?"

Jiang Nian: "..."

"You don’t know, yet you’re all impressed?"

"Isn’t it normal for me to not know?" Yao Beibei seemed indifferent, "By the way, Zhizhi, do you know?"

Zhang Ningzhi glanced at the map, "Seems like it’s just a bit outside Yunmu Town?"

Hearing this, Jiang Nian kept his face expressionless. He just continued to accelerate steadily and quickly arrived at Shalin Town.

"We’re here, let’s find Lin Dong."

No need to find him, Lin Dong arrived in five minutes.

"You came quite early."

He glanced around and greeted the two girls alongside Zhang Ningzhi.

"We’ll be leaving soon, the load is already in. But I don’t have a license; Brother Nian, you should be able to drive a pickup, right?"

Jiang Nian waved his hand, "It’s the same."

"Then let’s get in!"

The small town seemed dry in winter, and the streets were slightly dirty.

The aged bus stop looked desolate, with new and old buses jammed together like loaves of bread.

Everything in front of her seemed novel to Zhang Ningzhi and Yao Beibei.

"Beibei, look at that, that one."

"Oh, a milk tea shop."

Lin Dong sat in the back seat of the pickup truck with Yao Beibei.

"Right ahead is Shalin Bridge, the water recedes in winter, and people from our town set off fireworks there."

"Hmm." Jiang Nian nodded.

After getting off, Zhang Ningzhi pattered behind him. Wherever Jiang Nian went, Zhang Ningzhi followed him.

Even when moving tables and chairs, she followed to help.

Yao Beibei, on the other hand, walked with her hands behind her back, like a proud old man. She poked around the fireworks here and there.

Lin Dong: "...."
