Chapter 252: Chapter 252 The First Date Plan
Jiang Nanshu looked at the gloomy sky.
With a bit of hesitation, “Are you sure there will be a sunrise with this kind of weather?”
Yan Yidan nodded with a smile, eyes curved, “Of course, I checked, There will be sunshine on Sunday, it’s going to be a good day.”
“Do you guys have any objections?”
Jiang Yunchuan quickly shook his head, “No!”
Xu Xi smiled, showing her dimples, “Me neither.”
Yang Jiashu chuckled, “Then let’s do it together, I haven’t seen a sunrise before, it must be beautiful.”
Lu Qingyan then looked towards Jiang Nanshu, his voice low, “Neither do I.”
Jiang Nanshu: “…”
[How did you also end up joining in this mess! You really do want to date a crowd, huh!]
Lu Qingyan remained silent.
This time, he simply went along with Yan Yidan’s suggestion.
Jiang Nanshu felt the gaze of five pairs of eyes on her.
She forced a laugh, “Then I’ll go too.”
Thus, the group of six decided on their first “date” location, atop a mountain to watch the sunrise.
Jiang Nanshu wasn’t particularly looking forward to it, but she didn’t want to be a killjoy.
The nurse had said, even if you don’t like mingling, you shouldn’t show it too much, or others will get hurt.
Yan Yidan hopped on her motorcycle, winking at them, “I still have some things to take care of, you guys remember to take Nannan back to school.”
With that, she left.
Jiang Nanshu watched her cool departure.
She clicked her tongue in her mind.
[As expected of Sister Ma Jia, that first jacket must belong to a racer, right? I saw a number 1 on her leather jacket, don’t think you can escape my eyes!]
Lu Qingyan had no particular reaction.
But Jiang Yunchuan was shocked.
He had innocently thought that Yan Yidan just had a hobby of riding motorcycles.
Usually, she appeared to be a quiet and obedient girl.
But unexpectedly, she was into racing!
Coincidentally, so was he!
He had immense interest in that area, even the gaming company he founded developed racing tracks and competitive racing games.
He started pondering, thinking he should find a chance to go racing with Yan Yidan.
Jiang Nanshu turned to Xu Xi, “Let’s head back to school, we have classes tomorrow.”
Then she looked at Lu Qingyan, asking, “Brother Qingyan, what about you?”
“Since I’m here,” Lu Qingyan said with a gentle smile, “I’ll go back to school with you.”
The group made their way back to the school.
As they reached the school gates, they encountered Su Ran.
It had been quite a while since Jiang Nanshu had seen her.
It had been two weeks since they last met in the hospital.
The light had faded from her eyes, and she was accompanied by Chu Muxi.
Chu Muxi seemed to be consoling her, but Su Ran did not look pleased.
[True to the main characters’ magnetism, you guys really run into each other everywhere!]
Su Ran also saw them.
She stiffly stood in place, avoiding Lu Qingyan’s gaze, turning her head away.
Jiang Nanshu felt something strange.
“Huh? Was she hurt by Lu Qingyan last time? It fits the theme of a tragic story, but Su Ran’s behavior is just too odd.”
If she doesn’t show up soon, Jiang Nanshu will almost forget about this female lead.
Lu Qingyan directly took Jiang Nanshu’s hand, showing Su Ran through his actions that there was no possibility between them.
His eyes gentle, he said, “Let’s go, I’ll walk you back to the dorm.”
The group acted as if they didn’t see her and didn’t care why Su Ran returned to school.
They entered the campus laughing and talking.
Su Ran’s face was pale as she watched Lu Qingyan’s retreating figure. She took a small step forward, then retracted her foot.
She no longer even had the right to get close.
She felt so dirty.
Her body bore all the deep, heavy, painful marks left by that devil.
Su Ran withdrew her gaze and headed toward the principal’s office: “Xixi, thanks for your company. Please visit Tingting in the hospital for me.”
Her expression was somewhat gloomy as she bit her lip to stop herself from crying out, “I don’t have the face to meet her.”
Chu Muxi showed perfectly timed sympathy, sighing softly, “Ranran, don’t blame yourself. Everyone has their own fate. They were just unlucky to encounter this disaster. Don’t worry, I go to the hospital almost every day. Tingting knows she lost her legs and is a bit unstable. During this time, it has been her brother accompanying her in the hospital. I hope she can bravely move forward and not blame Nanshu. She was just a bit slow in warning, but it was mainly our recklessness that caused this.”
Whenever Su Ran thought of this, she remembered Jiang Nanshu’s cold words at the Ji Family in Mingyue Town, making her heart feel cold.
Her eyes downcast, her hand by her side clenched the hem of her garment, wrinkling the fabric.
Observing Su Ran’s emotions, Chu Muxi’s mouth curved slightly, her tone consistently sad, “I hope Tingting can move forward. She keeps mentioning your and Jiang Nanshu’s names. Everyone knows you are Tingting’s good friend. Those who don’t know the full story might just blame Nanshu.”
Pausing, Chu Muxi’s expression suddenly became anxious, “Should I explain it to Tingting’s brother? I’m afraid he might really misunderstand.”
Su Ran’s lips were tightly pressed, her expression turning icy, “No need. She has a mouth, can’t she explain it to Tingting herself?”
“And Anzi…” Su Ran took a deep breath, “I’m sorry to him. I haven’t been able to visit him recently. Xixi, can you please pass him a message for me? Once he’s discharged, I’ll pick him up.”
Chu Muxi could hardly refuse.
Nodding, she replied, “Yes, don’t worry, I’ve got everything covered.”
“I need to go to the principal’s office to process my withdrawal. I want to act, and I probably won’t have the energy for graduate studies.”
Chu Muxi looked regretful, “Ah? With your grades, getting into grad school would be no problem, alas.”
Su Ran smiled bitterly, “What I originally came for wasn’t a bachelor’s degree. It’s just that I can’t keep up anymore.”
Some truths are better left unsaid.
Chu Muxi knew who she was referring to.
All she could offer was regret.
Actually feeling disdain inside.
Having been around Lu Qingyan for three years during prime time without catching any man’s interest, she really was foolish.
She had initially wanted Su Ran to test the waters with Lu Qingyan—if their relationship could withstand the Lu Family’s opposition, she could find a way to remove Su Ran and step in herself.
But she too had bad luck, stumbling upon Lu Mother’s cruel strategies, and ended up being tied to her; otherwise, Lu Mother had ways to silence her.
If obedient, Lu Mother could give her money and some small collaborations with the Lu Family.
And Lu Mother wanted her to be her informant, eliminating all obstacles around Lu Qingyan.
In the end, she had to align with the partner selected by Lu Mother, thus fulfilling her task.
Her task should have been completed after Su Ran went abroad, but then Jiang Nanshu appeared, forcing her to flee abroad.
She dared not provoke Lu Mother nor expose the dirty deeds she had done in the past.
After all, there was the once sensational case of the kidnapping of the Lu Family’s heir.
Lu Mother had a hand in it.
But no one ever traced it back to her.
