Under the streetlamp, He Minjun stood up.
It was already eleven o'clock, and this area was a slum, nothing like the prosperity of Zhennan Street.
The surroundings were quiet and dark, with only the faint light of the streetlamp shining.
"Sorry..."
"No problem, then show some sincerity."
"Huh?"
He Minjun blushed instantly, thinking to herself, does picking a lock demand such a high price?
Not asking for money but selling her body.
"Huh? Next time when you have money, treat me to a meal," Jiang Nian said, "Let's go, don't dawdle."
"Oh oh, okay." He Minjun breathed a sigh of relief, though she was still a bit embarrassed, "So that's what you meant."
"What else?" Jiang Nian turned back and looked at her, with a scrutinizing expression on his face, "What did you think?"
"Nothing...nothing." He Minjun swung her arms, laughing awkwardly, "Ha...ha, nothing."
While others read Spring and Autumn Annals, she was different.
Watching videos instead.
The two of them went upstairs, the corridor was dim and narrow. Jiang Nian had to turn on a flashlight, following He Minjun's ample silhouette.
"Still haven't found a roommate to share rent with?"
"Yeah." He Minjun sighed deeply upon hearing this, "I feel like I can hold on until next month at most."
"That's pretty good, at least you can survive for a month." Jiang Nian was unfazed, "Cherish the remaining time."
He Minjun didn't remain in a sad mood for long; she quickly clenched her fists and perked up.
"I'll figure something out."
"Yeah."
Though her luck was bad, she was quite optimistic. That's why Jiang Nian kept helping her repeatedly.
For him, picking a lock was a small matter. Even lending some money to He Minjun was no big deal.
But he didn't offer, and He Minjun didn't ask.
People with a fighting spirit are easily recognizable. Nobody likes people with low energy, who sulk all day long.
In case they jump off a building, wouldn't all the help be in vain?
Though saying this seems somewhat selfish, not everyone is a saint, and it's normal to have some investment mentality.
The return could be a meal, or it could be a friendship.
"Did you bring any tools?" He Minjun suddenly asked, "It looks like you... didn't bring anything."
"No need for those useless things." Jiang Nian couldn't even bother to pretend, taking out a wire and unlocking it in a few moves.
He Minjun: "???"
Is this right? It has already reached a level where it must be registered.
"What is it?"
"Nothing, turns out you have a key." He Minjun acted as if she saw nothing; a master key is still a key.
"I'm really sorry for troubling you again."
"No need for formalities, just remember to leave a spare key next time." Jiang Nian waved, ready to leave.
"Hey, wait."
"Hmm?"
"I feel bad just letting you go like this," she said awkwardly, "I didn't even offer you anything."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian looked around her small room.
"Do you have anything to eat?"
"Nothing at all, only a heart full of hospitality." He Minjun was straightforward, admitting her poverty.
He was speechless, his eyes deadpan.
"No need, you're not Bi Gan, and I'm not Daji. Why would I need your heart?"
"It's late at night, don't say such scary things." He Minjun shivered, goosebumps rising.
She thought for a moment and said, "Then let me walk you out."
"Okay." Jiang Nian didn't refuse.
"Oh, right." He Minjun seemed to remember something and immediately turned back and ran into her room.
Jiang Nian stood there puzzled, waiting for a while.
After more than a minute, He Minjun came out holding something, a stack of brand-new postcards.
"Here, so you didn't come all this way for nothing."
She said seriously, "Although I have no money now, once I get back on my feet, I'll pay you back for unlocking the door."
Jiang Nian took the postcards and stuffed them into his pocket.
"Okay."
Downstairs, He Minjun was still waving under the streetlamp. Once Jiang Nian disappeared at the street corner, she turned around and went back.
...
On the other side, Jiang Nian was flipping through the postcards while climbing the stairs back home, wondering about Xiangnan postcards.
Does she like Xiangnan and want to attend a university there?
When it comes to going to university, girls are usually more planned than boys. Like Tingzi, who considered going to Lu University.
Boys tend to be more carefree, like Jiang Nian.
He hadn't decided where to go, planning to wait until his results reached the top. Then he'd decide based on the grades where to apply.
Anyway, as long as it's not within the province.
While thinking, his phone lit up.
Xu Qianqian: "You're back?"
Jiang Nian was slightly surprised upon seeing this and replied.
"How did you know?"
Xu Qianqian: "In fact, scientists have recently discovered that after spending a long time together, owners have a sense towards their dogs."
Jiang Nian: "Guess what? Did I take your photo..."
Xu Qianqian: "(Big beat) You pervert!! Do you want me to post it online?! (Husky pointing at person)"
"As a screensaver." Jiang Nian slowly typed, "Why is it perverted to use a photo as a screensaver?"
Xu Qianqian: "(Husky pointing at person) Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, a dog can't change its Chi Shi."
Clunk, Jiang Nian stopped at the door, recalling the last time Xu Qianqian sprained her ankle, waiting for him at home.
"You wouldn't be waiting at the door all this time, would you?"
"Overthinking (eye-roll)" Xu Qianqian said, "There's a mouse at home, and Song Xiyun and I have been catching it for half an hour."
Jiang Nian was astonished, "You're all in the living room?"
"Yes."
Upon receiving the confirmation, he turned and knocked on the door.
After a while, the door opened.
Dim light streamed through the crack like threads. Two girls in pajamas crowded around.
One was avoiding eye contact, the other looked anxious.
"There's Jerry!"
"Hurry and catch it, or we really won't be able to sleep tonight!"
Jiang Nian was unhurried, first glancing at the two girls' chests. Although nothing was exposed, it was instinctual to look.
