Chapter 266: Chapter 266: Happy Birthday
Jiang Nanshu listened to Lu Junqin’s chatter for at least ten minutes.
She discovered that Lu Qingyan’s elder cousin really did have a lot to say, unlike her initial silence and timidity, like floodgates opening after holding back a conversation.
Seeing Jiang Nanshu dozing off, Lu Junqin finally stood up, “I’ve disturbed you for quite a while, I’ll take Shang Xu and leave first. If you need anything, you can find me next door.”
Leaving these words behind,
Lu Junqin left.
By noon, Lu Qingyan was back.
Jiang Nanshu was asleep on the chair until a thin blanket was placed over her, and then she slowly woke up.
Seeing Lu Qingyan’s familiar face, she rubbed her eyes, “You’re back? Don’t you have official matters to deal with?”
“I’ve finished them.” Lu Qingyan stood up straight, and his shadow enveloped Jiang Nanshu in the sunlight, “Get some more rest, I’ll cook lunch for you.”
Jiang Nanshu was surprised, “Did you come back specifically to make lunch for me?”
“What else?” Lu Qingyan looked at her with amusement, “Can I trust someone who skips breakfast to eat lunch on time?”
[You’re making me sound quite useless.]
Jiang Nanshu coughed slightly, her face blushing, “That’s not true, my diet at school is quite regular.”
She looked up, blinking her almond-shaped eyes, “Brother Qingyan, you’re really so good to me.”
Lu Qingyan reached out, his fingertip traced her cheek, playfully lifting her chin, and his lips curled into a slight smile, “Now that you know I’m good to you, be a good girl.”
[How well-behaved do I need to be? I’m already so obedient, isn’t that enough?]
[Forget it, forget it, I like you, so I’ll listen to you.]
Jiang Nanshu caressed his palm with her face, “Mhm, mhm, I’ll be good.”
Lu Qingyan’s Adam’s apple bobbed slightly.
Looking into her dark, bright almond eyes, his heartbeat quickened.
She was as adorable and well-behaved as a doll, irresistible and evoking a sense of tenderness.
Lu Qingyan quickly averted his eyes, heading inside, “Rest up.”
The corners of Jiang Nanshu’s mouth lifted in a smile, only to flatten again after a couple of seconds.
Actually, she was a bit unhappy.
Jiang Nanshu didn’t know why.
She could only attribute it to the news about Zhou Yanxu, which had affected her mood.
“I hope I can still find him one day.”
“If I can live, he should be able to as well.”
“Do I need to look for him in another timeline?”
Jiang Nanshu asked three questions in succession.
It was as if she was talking to herself.
In fact, she was asking the system.
Nor did she hold out hope that Da Shachun could give her an answer.
Anyway, she was planning to go back and find a way.
Da Shachun:[…]
At first, it thought it was tragic to be bound to such a lunatic.
But as it received more information about Jiang Nanshu, it increasingly hoped that she would no longer be fixated on the past.
She had never spared herself.
Living in an environment like hers, becoming a lunatic seemed like a normal thing.
Da Shachun sighed quietly to itself before reflecting Jiang Nanshu’s situation to Lord Main God, hoping to receive his next instruction.
It thought it would take a long time, but it received a reply quickly.
Lord Main God gave it a line of words.
[Let it be.]
Da Shachun:[…]
No wonder he’s the Main God, always so indifferent.
If the boss wasn’t worried, there was even less for it, a mere worker, to fret about.
…
The Six Love Organization Group started to get busy.
They were discussing where to go to watch the sunrise on the mountain top tomorrow morning.
Xu Xi: [There’s a scenic spot in Beijing called Pulu Mountain, and it’s beautiful to watch the sunrise from the summit.]
Yang Jiashu: [Are you kidding? It takes at least four hours to climb up there; I feel like we’d struggle the whole night.]
Xu Xi[You’re so weak [disdain]]
Yang Jiashu: [… I can lift two of you; if you don’t believe me, just try.]
Jiang Yunchuan: [How about we drive to the mountains outside of Beijing? Hills in the suburbs are also not bad.]
Yan Yidan: “Find a safer place, most mountaintops in the suburbs are animal habitats, and it’s dangerous to barge in.”
Yang Jiashu: “Exactly, just look at Cheng An, his leg was amputated and he still hasn’t gotten over it, going crazy in the hospital every day, sigh.”
Xu Xi: “Let’s not talk about that, Huang Ruanting’s parents come to the school every three days to cause trouble, even the principal has said that it wasn’t something that happened at school, but they won’t listen and insist on compensation.”
Jiang Yunchuan: “…Nouveau riche only have that little mindset, anyway, where should we go? I’m good with anywhere.”
Yan Yidan: “@Jiang Nanshu, let’s go to Nanshan District, it hasn’t been developed yet, within Beijing, there are mountains and sea, baby, wanna go?”
The last question was thrown at Jiang Nanshu.
Nanshan District, huh…
It now belongs to the land Jiang Yisen bought.
It hasn’t been developed, so it’s still accessible.
Jiang Nanshu: “I’ll listen to you… I’m good with anywhere.”
Yan Yidan: “OK, then it’s decided. Since it’s camping, I hope you all can be there by 8 p.m. We’ll set up tents and sleep there overnight, waiting for the sunrise the next day, no objections, right?”
Xu Xi: “Yes, commander!”
Yang Jiashu: “No problem! My camera is all ready.”
Jiang Yunchuan: “1.”
Jiang Nanshu looked up at Lu Qingyan, who was busy in the kitchen.
He said, “Brother Qingyan, the place to watch the sunrise has been decided, we’re going to Nanshan District.”
“Um.”
“Then I’ll go get some things ready…”
“Just freaking incredible, a get-together with six people… I must find a chance to ditch them all!”
When everyone gathered in the evening.
Xu Xi and Yang Jiashu seemed quite happy.
They were both dressed in sports gear, obviously prepared for mountain climbing.
Jiang Yunchuan had a sports backpack on his back, fully equipped.
Yan Yidan looked content, seemingly in a good mood.
Lu Qingyan’s expression was indifferent, not showing much emotion.
Jiang Nanshu had a wooden face, full of resistance.
Xu Xi, holding her arm, giggled, “This is great, even though the post-graduation trip hasn’t happened yet, as a couple, we’ve already seen the sunrise together, life is without regrets.”
Jiang Nanshu: “…”
“Then your life is too easily satisfied.”
Xu Xi’s eyes smiled brightly, “It’s not bad. As long as my family is safe, friends are around, and life is smooth, I have nothing to worry about, hehe.”
Seeing her laugh, Yang Jiashu also laughed along, “I think Xixi is right, people should learn to be content and happy.”
Jiang Yunchuan drove over in an ordinary van.
Rolling down the window, his red hair flaunting, he nodded toward the people inside the van, “Get in, everyone.”
Yan Yidan’s smile was gentle, “First of all, your manner of address is wrong, it doesn’t have the closeness of couples, it gives a sense of disappointment.”
Jiang Yunchuan: “…”
He tugged at the corner of his mouth, “Get in, my dear treasures.”
“Pfft.” Xu Xi couldn’t help laughing out loud and gave a thumbs-up to Yan Yidan, “So precise, Sister Yan.”
“There are no rules, no square.” Her words were still very soft.
Jiang Nanshu: “…”
What the heck.
Are they being trained like soldiers?!
The road to Nanshan District was partly rugged, uneven, and somewhat steep.
Lu Qingyan got in the car and was silent throughout the trip.
Just looking out the window.
The people in the car were laughing and joking all the way.
By the time they reached their destination, it was already 10 p.m.
By the time they installed the lamps and set up the tents, it was nearly midnight.
Jiang Nanshu sat on the dry grass at the mountaintop, because the weather was clear, there were stars at night, and looking into the distance, there was the sound of the sea waves.
She yawned a bit tiredly.
Vaguely regretting messing around with them.
Just as she thought to ask when they could go to sleep.
She turned her head and saw Xu Xi waving a sparkler.
Jiang Yunchuan was holding a small cake with candles in his hand.
“Just turned twelve, a new day, dear Nannan, you’ve aged another year, happy birthday.”
