Chapter 352: Chapter 352: Really Good Mentality
Lu Qingyan was just about to come in when he spotted Jiang Nanshu.
His cold gaze swept across her face and then shifted to Duan Huaiyu, seeming to feel that encountering Jiang Nanshu was somewhat unlucky, and he turned and left immediately.
“Hey? Brother Yan, I’m treating you; aren’t you going to eat?” Yang Jiashu’s voice rang out.
When he caught sight of Jiang Nanshu, he immediately shut his mouth and stood there awkwardly.
“Aren’t you going to check on him?” Duan Huaiyu continued to ask.
Jiang Nanshu pondered for a few seconds before reluctantly chasing after him.
Upon seeing this, Yang Jiashu just stood still.
He watched as Jiang Nanshu ran out.
He shook his head and sighed, “A torturous fate, tsk, it’s really a torturous fate.”
Duan Huaiyu sat by the window, watching Jiang Nanshu’s figure blur into the distance.
Jiang Nanshu had been a short, intense presence in his life, dazzling enough to amaze him for the rest of his life, but he was too cowardly to reveal his feelings for her.
Duan Huaiyu poured half a glass of beer for Jiang Nanshu, raised the glass to clink with hers in the air, and muttered to himself, “Thank you, Ms. Jiang, may the rest of your life be smooth and happy.”
…
“Lu Qingyan, wait for me.”
Jiang Nanshu chased after him from behind, but Lu Qingyan didn’t even turn his head.
When she reached out and grabbed the corner of his jacket, he turned around and pushed her hand away, his tone icy, “What else do you want to play at with me?”
Jiang Nanshu saw the bandages still wrapped around his wrist, she looked up at his pale and handsome face, and although she didn’t see any hateful emotions, he indeed seemed very cold.
So cold that others would keep their distance.
Jiang Nanshu licked her slightly dry lips and gave an awkward smile, “What are you talking about… Listen to my explanation, that day I wanted to say, just hold on, I’m calling an ambulance for you…”
The more she talked, the more mocking his gaze became, and her voice grew lower and lower.
“Am I some trashy person? Jiang Nanshu, is this what you wanted? Don’t bother me anymore.”
Jiang Nanshu watched him walk away, standing there looking troubled, seemingly helpless.
Lu Qingyan didn’t give her a chance to get close now.
Sigh, she might as well go back to the dorm and order takeout.
Jiang Nanshu decisively left the place, the outside was deadly cold.
The weekend passed in Jiang Nanshu’s carefree indulgence, even Yang Jiashu couldn’t help but commend her, saying her mentality was really good…
On Monday, Jiang Nanshu attended classes seriously.
On Tuesday, Jiang Nanshu attended classes seriously.
On Wednesday, Jiang Nanshu began to slack off.
On Thursday, Jiang Nanshu straight up slept in class.
When Friday rolled around, another week had passed.
She had to prepare for the final exams of various subjects.
Jiang Nanshu hadn’t studied broadcasting seriously, and as the finals approached, she was forced to start cramming, having no time to think about increasing goodwill value.
Her only virtue was that she listened to advice.
Since everyone told her not to bother him, she might as well wait until Lu Qingyan was calm enough to face her, then she could slowly explain, right?
Right now, trying to explain would be just a waste of saliva.
“Nannan, my sister brought me some specialties from back home, do you want to try?”
Hearing Xu Xi’s voice, Jiang Nanshu looked up from her assignment and saw Xu Xi holding a bag, she tilted her head slightly, “What’s tasty?”
“Yellow Rice Cake, have you ever had it? You can bake it, deep fry it, dip it in sugar, or sprinkle it with chili powder!”
“No,” Jiang Nanshu shook her head, “But I can give it a try.”
“There’s an air fryer in the dormitory, we can try it.”
Jiang Nanshu nodded, “Okay.”
She packed up her books and started walking with Xu Xi.
“Xixi, you ran off too fast, your backpack is still in my hand.”
Someone stood at the door.
Jiang Nanshu looked up, suddenly his eyes widened, “Little nurse?”
“Hmm?”
The person at the door had a high ponytail, a refined and lively face, and looked at Jiang Nanshu with some confusion.
“Sister?” Xu Xi slapped her forehead, “I forgot in my hurry. Oh right, sis, let me introduce you, this is my best friend Jiang Nanshu, she’s really good to me.”
“Jiangjiang, this is my sister, Xu Yun.”
She was also a bit puzzled, “Do you two know each other?”
Xu Yun was the first to shake her head, “No, we don’t.” Her face broke into a smile, “Did you perhaps see me at the hospital and know that I am a nurse?”
Jiang Nanshu was somewhat at a loss for words, looking between Xu Xi and Xu Yun.
So, in the original world, the little nurse who talked about her sister who killed herself because of bullying was Xu Xi.
Jiang Nanshu pursed her lips, finally saying, “I haven’t seen you before.”
She pointed to the badge on Xu Yun’s chest that she hadn’t taken off yet, “Doesn’t it say so right there?”
Xu Yun belatedly realized.
She truly had forgotten to take it off.
She quickly removed it and tucked it into her bag.
She said to Xu Xi, “Xixi, if your living expenses are not enough, remember to tell your sister. I’m going back to work now.”
Xu Xi nodded, “Yep, sis, take care on the road.”
She continued walking with Jiang Nanshu, “My sis works as a nurse at a psychiatric hospital in Beijing. She hardly has time to visit me. This time she took a few days off to come back home and brought me to school.”
“This thing is really sweet and sticky.”
Jiang Nanshu wasn’t really listening to what she was saying, but was lost in thought.
A replica of the world?
That’s not right either.
Apart from a few of them, in the original world Jiang Nanshu didn’t know many others.
Pushing these stray thoughts aside, Jiang Nanshu focused on discussing with Xu Xi the way to eat Yellow Rice Cake.
After a while, Xu Xi tentatively brought up, “Jiangjiang, Yang Jiashu told me Lu Qingyan is going abroad.”
Jiang Nanshu’s chewing slowed down, “Ah? Did he say when he’s coming back?”
“I don’t know that. You and him…” Xu Xi hesitated.
Jiang Nanshu gave her a smile, “Let’s not talk about him. I’m quite happy just being with you.”
Because she had Xu Xi accompanying her, taking her to try delicious foods every day, Jiang Nanshu seldom thought about Lu Qingyan.
She might really not be able to return anymore.
Because she didn’t want to chase the goodwill value anymore.
The harm had been done, and Jiang Nanshu was not naïve enough to think that she could coax Lu Qingyan like before and everything would be fine between them.
This issue between them was like a fissure, too wide to mend.
Even if it were mended, the scar would still remain.
Every time he thought of her betrayal, he’d hate her even more.
“This Yellow Rice Cake is pretty good. How about I come visit your hometown during the winter break? What do you think?”
Xu Xi’s eyes widened as she jumped up, “Really? Jiangjiang, are you really coming home with me?”
Jiang Nanshu saw her excited demeanor and her smile softened a bit more, “Yes, if it’s possible, I’d like to spend the New Year with you too, but I need to be with Mrs. Ji. She is getting a bone marrow transplant next spring.”
Xu Xi was thrilled at just the thought of Jiang Nanshu visiting her hometown during the winter break.
She noticed that Jiang Nanshu had changed a lot; she used to be always in a rush, and she didn’t know what she was busy with. Recently, it seemed like she had relaxed, slowed down, become much gentler, listened attentively, and accompanied her to eat various foods she considered delicious, spending every day inseparable from her.
