  Chapter 186: He’s Here to Pick You Up After Css

  TL: Etude

  Over the course of a semester, Jiang Qi his time building the entire framework from Zhihu to group buying. He paved the way for all dires of development, making future upgrades and expansion merely a matter of time.

  However, a critical issue remained unresolved for him personally.

  Exam week was looming.

  As a student, this was a hurdle he iably had to clear.

  At half-past two iernoon, the subject teacher began to highlight key points. Jiang Qin had specifically bought an expensive pen to support the teacher’s efforts, paying full attention in css, meticulous and diligent – a stark trast to his previous self.

  “Old Jiang, that’s a fancy pen you have there, with a little cat that pops in and out, huh?” Zhou mented, uo resist praising the fshy pen in Jiang Qin’s hand.

  “Of course it’s fancy. It’s the most expensive one in the college store,” Jiang Qin boasted.

  “Isn’t that a bit too feminine? Maybe it’d be more suitable firl,” Cao Guangyu joined in, taking a gypical of a poor student to have expeationery. No matter how good the pen, it won’t help if you’re not willing to study.”

  Jiang Qi unfortable upon hearing this, his eyebrows knitting in annoyance. “You mock me all you want, but why the rhyming?” (lost in transtion)

  “Sorry, couldn’t help my talent spilling out,” Cao Guangyu retorted arrogantly.

  Jiang Qin yawned, “How about this? After css, we head straight to the study room. Same as before, whoever leaves first is a dog.”

  Zhou Chao was startled, quickly waving his hands, “e on, Jiang, st time we studied all afternoon iudy room, my brain was overloaded with all that knowledge, couldn’t sleep at night.”

  “That wasn’t insomnia, that was you sleeping too mu the study room and not being able to sleep at night,” Jiang Qin corrected him.

  “Really?” Zhou Chao realized suddenly.

  Ren Ziqiang put down his pen and joihe versation, “I think studying really needs supervision. In high sy family would study with me, and I was really effit. Now that no one’s watg, I don’t even know how to study anymore.”

  Cao Guangyu spoke softly, “It’s the differeween being willing and unwilling. Take Old Jiang for example, if he’s willing to study, he could even do it in Feng Nanshu’s bed. If he’s unwilling, not eveudy room save him.”

  Jiang Qin nodded, “Well said, but let’s not use me as an example ime.”

  “I’m speaking the truth.”

  “Stop talking nonsense, get out!”

  Jiang Qin leaned back, toying with the pen cap between his thumb and forefinger, feeling humiliated.

  In fact, Cao Guangyu, Zhou Chao, and Ren Ziqiang were different from him.

  Although these three were either lost in the warmth of love or the fort of their beds, they still had brains fresh from the college entrance exam. As long as they felt the urgency, it was easy for them to get into a study mode.

  But Jiang Qin was different. His brain had been away from studying for over a decade.

  He was good at business and making money, but when faced with studying, he always felt clueless about where to start.

  “I guess I’ll have to ask the little rich dy for tut,” Jiang Qin muttered to himself.

  Cao Guangyu immediately interjected, “I’ve given you this advice before, but you didn’t listen.”

  “Old Cao, you make money by talking? You’ve been talking a lot today. Are you pnning to repay the 500 yuan you borrowed from me for Christmas in advance?”

  “…”

  Cao Guangyu gritted his teeth, yielding to the power of money.

  Jiang Qin sneered and remained silent, bringing some peace to the world. So, he sat quietly until the end of css and then headed straight to Css 4’s .

  Due to the end-of-term activities, Css 4’s dismissal time was deyed. The instructor, Xue Hongying, a woman ihirties with short hair and a ge slow-speaking maook over the st few mio discuss the rep and review of extra credit items for end-of-term activities.

  Jiang Qin was not in a hurry. He leaned against the back door, his gaze passing through the crowd and nding on Feng Nanshu.

  While he was looking in, some people in Css 4 noticed Jiang Qin, leading to a ripple effect of people turning their heads to look back.

  After Jiang Qin’s group buyi online, his reputation in the school had risen signifitly. Coupled with his low attendae, he was now seen as a capable yet mysterious figure.

  Of course, everyone in Css 4 knew who he was waiting for, especially the boys, who couldn’t help feeling a bit sour about it.

  Dammit, he’s even wearing matg couples’ outfits. It would be great if a thunderbolt could strike him down!

  “Feng Nanshu, do you miss Jiang Qin?” Fan Shuling quietly asked, eyes on the bckboard.

  “Yes.” Feng Nanshu nodded without hesitation.

  “Then I’ll tell you a secret. He’s here to pick you up after css, standing right at the back door.”

  Hearing this, the little rich dy, Feng Nanshu, turned her head and, upon seeing Jiang Qin, squinted her eyes and coldly yet cutely gestured a scissor hand.

  Witnessing this se, Jiang Qin couldn’t help but smile.

  “He really came. Is this the first time Jiang Qin has waited for you after css?” Gao Wenhui whispered.

  Feng Nanshu turo Gao Wenhui, “Not the first time, it’s the third.”

  “Huh? Doesn’t seem like it. Joint csses don’t t.”

  “Still, it’s three times.”

  Gao Wenhui decided not tue whether it was two or three times with Feng Nanshu. Perhaps for her, each time Jiang Qin picked her up after css recious, and she surely remembered it clearer than anyone else.

  However, she hadn’t skipped any csses, so how could there have been two times she wasn’t aware of? What a loss.

  When Css 4’s css ended, Feng Nanshu handed her books to Gao Wenhui and ran towards the back door to meet Jiang Qin.

  “Little rich dy, tutor me, please. I’m not asking for much, just to be iop ten in our major. Are you fident?”

  Feng Nanshu was silent for a moment, “Jiang Qin, I don’t think I’m fident at all.”

  Jiang Qi a bit suffocated, “Your serious expression is hurting me…”

  “Then I’ll tutor you, but you have to listen carefully and not fall asleep halfway.”

  “Okay, I’ll give you that. Let’s go grab some food first, then to the study room.”

  “Big brother, hold my hand.”

  Jiang Qin took a deep breath, gave up resisting, aly csped her small hand in his, turning to walk outside.

  However, they had only taken a few steps when suddenly a voice from behind called out to them.

  “Nanshu, you opened a milk tea shop in schoht? There are mara credits for college studerepreneurs. Do you have time to e over and sign a form?”

  Xue Hongying, the Css 4 instructor, was standing at the door and called out Feng Nanshu’s name.

  “Oh yes, and your boyfriend, bring him along too.”

  Xue Hongying khat Feng Nanshu’s social skills were limited. The milk tea shop, rather than being run by her, was more like something Jiang Qin had opened for her, so it might be more effit to discuss some matters with Jiang Qin.

  The title of a college studerepreneur was highly valued, and since her css had one, she inteo ma well. Including it in the end-of-term report would be greatly beneficial for her too.

  “Jiang Qin, the teacher said good friends should e along too,” Feng Nanshu said emotionlessly.

  “Teacher Xue is truly dising.”

  Jiang Qin sighed, feeling like his path was being pletely walked by the little rich dy.

  Whewo arrived at the academic affairs office, Xue Hongying handed Feng Nanshu a form. Besides basiformation, there were many checkboxes to tick if applicable, and to ignore if not.

  Sihe progress and scale of college studerepreneurship projects varied, some credits could be awarded while others couldn’t.

  At Lin Uy, some ing students would write up a project proposal, submit a PowerPoint presentation, and barely scrape through for basic credits.

  But a milk tea shop with a physical presend revenue was definitely different from those types of projects.

  While Feng Nanshu was filling out the form, Xue Hongying turo Jiang Qin to inquire about some additional information, some mandated by the school and others out of personal curiosity.

  “Jiang Qin, were you and Nanshu high school cssmates?”

  “Yes, but not in the same css. Our retionship retty much the same as it is now.”

  Xue Hongying couldn’t help but lower her voice, “Just a bit of harmless gossip, were you two together in high school, or did it start in college? Who pursued whom?”

  Jiang Qin narrowed his eyes nontly, “My revision is going well; I’m fident of ranking iop ten of the year.”

  “Who’s asking about that? This isn’t high school, and teachers don’t care about your dating life, just curious.”

  “Right, advanced mathematics is a subject I struggle with.”

  Xue Hongying realized this student was dodging her questions, “Really no fun.”

  While they were talking, Feng Nanshu finished filling out the form. Xue Hongying took a look at it and then ha to Jiang Qin to see if anything o be added.

  “Hmm?”

  Jiang Qin sed the form, his expression suddenly turning solemn, the smile on his face fading into fusion.

  The form for college studerepreneurship credits included more than just reportable items; it also had a se for Feng Nanshu’s basiformation, including personal and family details.

  But…

  Why was the mother’s se left bnk?

  Jiang Qi bewildered after reading it, his mind swirling with thoughts.

  Father and mother – such basic family information couldn’t possibly be overlooked. Even if it was missed iently, it’s uhat only the father’s details would be filled in, leaving out the mother’s.

  “What’s the matter? Is there a problem?”

  “No problem, that’s the basic situation. Thank you, teacher.”

  Jiang Qin handed back the form nontly, turning to look at Feng Nanshu. The sunlight streaming through the window ttice bathed her in a glow that made her seem ethereal and pure.

  The little rich dy raised the cat-head pen, blog his gaze, “This pen is cute.”

  “It was actually bought for you.”

  Jiang Qin’s expressiouro normal, “I went to the supermarket to buy a pen and thought you would like this one. I wouldn’t have spent this kind of moherwise. Jiang Zhihua really ripped me off, her prig must have included a personal grudge.”

  Feng Nanshu seemed a bit dumbfounded, as it didn’t sound like something Jiang Qin would typically say.

  Seeing this, Xue Hongying couldn’t help but click her tohinking how even buying a pen was tailored to her liking, a he preteo be all about studying – what a sly move!
