Chapter 774: Chapter 599: Peace of Mind 2
Went for a round outside, bought some fruits and snacks and came back.
Unfortunately, Fangfang isn’t here.
After a while, Huang Fang also returned from eating.
As soon as she entered the door, she was thunderstruck, seeing two large bags on her table, her face instantly turning pale.
Banquet of doom!
"You... don’t make me lie for you."
"What are you saying?"
Jiang Nian was sitting in his seat, looking serious and said.
"Is that really the image I have in your mind?"
"Yes."
Hearing this, Jiang Nian immediately clutched his chest, his face turning into a painful expression, looking heartbroken.
"A bit heartbroken, Fangfang, I’m your die-hard fan."
Huang Fang: "Anyway, I won’t help you lie to Zhizhi anymore."
"Alright."
Jiang Nian nodded, "I promise you, won’t lie to Zhizhi, is that okay? You accept the stuff first."
Huang Fang half-believingly, "Really?"
"Mm."
After a while, Jiang Nian added a sentence.
"Tomorrow, I’ll go out with the monitor."
Huang Fang: "Huh?"
.....
The Lantern Festival, also known as Shangyuan Festival.
From the afternoon, vendors, people setting up the lantern venue, and people coming to play had already occupied the square.
The festive New Year lantern decorations had been taken down, replaced with colorful light strips.
The weather was clear with a slight chill at night.
Before the lights were on, the music from the square’s speakers had already started playing, and people kept pouring in.
Li Hua had made it to the square early... to a nearby internet cafe, recharged two hundred, and got two cans of Red Bull as a bonus.
Knowing that the Lantern Festival attracts huge crowds,
taking the opportunity to recharge not only doubled his balance but also gave him a place to rest while touring.
He had checked Yu Zhiyi’s post, seems like all the classmates were out. Many posted updates with location tags.
"In Chi Shi, byd Jiang Nian don’t know what he’s doing."
Suddenly, the phone rang.
"Hey? Old Ma."
"Where are you? I’m at Jiang Nian’s." Ma Guojun said, "Come quick, Yu Zhiyi and the others are here too."
"Damn it!!" Li Hua almost jumped up.
Stupid, why shout so loud?
"Who is it?" Yu Zhiyi’s voice came through.
"Li Hua."
"Hmm? Li Hua is coming too?" This time it was Dong Que’s voice, then Cai Xiaoqing, "Wait a bit."
He was panicked, hung up in a hurry, and cursed.
"Ma Guojun, you bastard."
Tao Ran was wandering around the square, saw a fox mascot, was about to take out his phone to take a picture.
He turned his head, saw Li Qingrong.
"Monitor?"
Li Qingrong was wearing a baseball cap, seemingly looking for someone. Hearing someone call her, she turned her head to glance.
Seeing it was Tao Ran, she nodded.
"Mm."
Tao Ran was shocked, but it didn’t stop him from taking a picture. With a click, he captured the fox mascot on his phone and sent it to the group.
"Just ran into the monitor."
"But, I ran into something even better looking. [Picture]"
[Member Tao Ran was muted by admin Qing for a minute.]
The group immediately boiled over.
Lin Dong: "The monitor went too? Is the lantern festival really that lively? I’m at a big family dinner (grinning)."
Huang Caicai: "(Drooling) Brother Dong, that looks really delicious."
Liu Yang: "@Lin Dong, is that your cousin sitting in the diagonal corner? My God, just looking at her hands, you can tell she’s a beauty."
"That’s my aunt."
Liu Yang: "..."
Ma Guojun: "@Liu Yang, don’t you have a girlfriend? Still so flirtatious, aren’t you afraid of getting stabbed?"
Jiang Nian: "Cough cough, maybe Liu Yang just appreciates beauty."
Zhang Ningzhi: "(Snorts)."
Li Hua: "@Jiang Nian, where are you guys, I just got elbowed by a feuding couple."
"Are you okay, leader?" asked Huang Fang.
"I’m fine."
"But I just saw you squatting on the ground, seemed like you were crying." Huang Fang sent this message and included a picture.
"I called you, but you didn’t hear."
Jiang Nian: "Hahaha."
Ma Guojun: "I’m dying of laughter, did Li Hua really cry?"
Liu Yang: "Hehe."
"Chi Shi Chi Shi!!!" Li Hua posted several angry emojis in the group, "I was just squatting to tie my shoelaces."
Yu Zhiyi: "You didn’t really get hurt, did you?"
Li Hua: "I’m fine (grinning)."
Jiang Nian knew Liu Yang was in a relationship, that guy couldn’t sit still, but didn’t expect Ma Guojun would reveal it first.
The group’s focus had already shifted from Li Hua.
"Send a red packet!"
"You sneaky fellow, hiding so deep!"
Actually, it wasn’t hidden deeply, anyone with a keen eye could notice. During the end of term, Liu Yang and the committee next door were really close.
But not everyone paid attention to Liu Yang, also, it’s just part of social life.
Liu Yang: "[Red packet]"
The group scrambled for it, lively as ever.
Jiang Nian didn’t grab it, he didn’t think well of Liu Yang’s girlfriend. But no need to say it, just let others be.
He got a video call from his mom, asking him to join the family for the lantern festival.
Li Hongmei had been fond of this complete family feeling since New Year, always wanting to show off to acquaintances.
Now leading two "daughters," how could it be without a son?
"I’m with classmates, more than ten of us, it’s a group activity, if you don’t believe, I’ll let a classmate talk."
Jiang Nian patted Li Hua’s shoulder, "It’s my mom’s video, vouch for me."
"Hello Auntie," Li Hua said.
Ma Guojun came over excitedly from afar, thinking it was something good, leaned over to take a look.
"Whoa, Aunt... Auntie, hello."
The chubby guy was really embarrassed, thought it was the monitor video calling, specifically came to witness his demise.
Suddenly, Yu Zhiyi also got in the frame.
She gave a sweet smile, waved, and greeted, "Hello Auntie, happy Lantern Festival,"
"Good, you’re all good," Ms. Li was very adept at socializing, "Happy holidays to you too."
Then, Huang Fang and Cai Xiaoqing and the others also greeted.
The video was finally disconnected.
On the other side, Li Hongmei sighed.
"At a time like this, why is this brat still playing with classmates, better to come over here and stroll together."
Upon hearing this, Xu Qianqian couldn’t help rolling her eyes.
"He doesn’t want to."
"He doesn’t have a choice!" Li Hongmei frowned, "After a bit, I’ll call him over for photos."
Song Xiyun didn’t join their conversation, her attention completely on the crowded people and the splendid lanterns.
She pointed, "There’s a riddle-solving booth over there."
Li Hongmei was linked arm-in-arm with Xu Qianqian, thinking about bumping into acquaintances and being complimented for looking like sisters with the two girls.
Didn’t even say anything, started laughing already.
"Let’s go check it out."
.....
After finishing the video, Jiang Nian lost contact with the larger group. He first met with the monitor and strolled outside the square.
"Qingqing."
"Mm." Li Qingrong walked towards him.
"Where’s your sister?" he asked curiously, looked around and didn’t see Li Lanying, "Went to get food?"
Li Qingrong glanced at him, replied plainly.
"She’s busy, didn’t come."
Jiang Nian: "???
But it’s also good, the older sister coming would’ve been more trouble. Li Lanying and the monitor’s personalities are polar opposites.
This woman is too attention-grabbing with her figure and looks, also likes making a fuss.
Jiang Nian suggested, "The lantern viewing on the square isn’t set yet, how about we walk around nearby first?"
"Mm."
The two walked along the street, unexpectedly ran into Zhen Nan Xiyangyang.
"Jiang Nian, Li..."
The expression of the other person went from a moment of astonishment to joy, then directly to a wide grin.
"Why are you guys here?"
"Such a coincidence, a couple out for a stroll?"
Jiang Nian was slightly speechless, thinking what’s up with this person. Seeing him and the monitor, why so excited?
One word a couple, couldn’t understand friendship at all.
Li Qingrong originally had no expression, hearing the word couple. She couldn’t help but look at her more, nodding.
"Hello."
"Hello hello, seeing you guys makes me relieved," she said with a grin.
