Chapter 104: Jiang Qin, Stroll in the Rain!
TL: Etude
No one expected the rain to arrive so suddenly.
During the award ceremony, the sky was clear, but as soon as the petition ended, a sudden downpan.
Jiang Qin was leisurely walking with Feng Nanshu by the ke when they were caught off guard by the rapid o of rain. They had no choice but to jog back, eventually seeking shelter from the rain in Room 208 of the Entrepreneurship ter.
Dong Wenhao, Su Nai, Wei Lann, and Pang Hai had goo the pyground earlier, leaving room 208 empty. The windows were left open, and rain had already spttered inside, wetting a feus neers but fortunately sparing the puters and dots.
“Wipe your hair, don’t catch a cold.”
Jiang Qin found a towel in a drawer and tossed it to Feng Nanshu, c her fad elig a surprised yelp from her.
“Why didn’t you catch it?”
Feng Nanshu, expressionless, replied, “I didn’t rea time. Please wipe it for me.”
“Typical of a young dy, people around must be ingrained in yenes.” Jiang Qin took the towel and roughly dried her beautiful long hair.
Feng Nanshu was slightly dissatisfied with his perfunctory effort, and with a cold gaze, she said, “Jiang Qin, aim better, don’t wipe my mouth.”
“…”
Rainy days are b, especially in the office where you ’t lie down. The most fortable pce was the sofa in the adjat 207. So, Jiang Qin moved Lu Xuemei’s puter to 207, pnning to watch a movie and wait for the rain to stop with the little rich dy.
Why use Lu Xuemei’s puter? Because besides hers, there was only Su Nai’s puter left in the office.
He dared not touch that one.
What if there was some weird pyback software running in the background, and the moans and groans would start pying at high volume? Feng Nanshu would surely be curious about the sounds.
That would be hard to expin. Really hard to expin.
“e on, see anything you’d like to watch?” Jiang Qin opened Youku and pushed the puter towards her.
Feng Nanshu leaowards the s, her delicate face illuminated by its glow, “How about this one, ‘WALL-E’?”
“I suggest ‘The Vilge of the Dead’.”
“?”
‘WALL-E’ was definitely not an option. It was a bait-and-switch, entirely about romance, and watg it could easily make one lovesick.
The film’s characters were even worse: one was EVE, a rid beautiful female robot, while the other was WALL-E, a worn-out lower-css robot tirelessly w. It felt too much like looking in a mirror.
Modern movies and literature seemed uo survive without a touch of romance. Rubbish!
Eventually, under Jiang Qin’s suggestion, they watched ‘Pirates of the Caribbean.’
This movie was suffitly fantastical to suit Feng Nanshu’s taste, and the captain was a mix of sdrel and loser, enough to shatter any girl’s illusions about men.
The windows in 207 weren’t well-sealed, letting cold air seep through the cracks. It was quite chilly.
Jiang Qi back to 208 to fetch a bo cover them both, then sat close together, eyes glued to the s.
Sihe lights were off, the room was dark, and they huddled uhe b, only their faces exposed, slightly ined towards each other.
Click-cck—
After watg for a couple of minutes, Feng Nanshu kicked off her little leather shoes and tucked her feet, ce thin socks, uhe b, her gaze still fixed on the s.
This time, she initiated it, right?
I must be a true gentleman, right?
Jiang Qin fidently massaged her feet, suddenly finding the movie a bit more iing, though it seemed too short.
“Lad, I am Captain Jack Sparrow!”
“…”
“The real meaning of the Bck Pearl is freedom!”
“…”
As the plressed, suddenly clear footsteps echoed iherwise empty hallway, distinctly the sound of high heels on the floor.
Jiang Qin couldn’t help but look back, seeing a long-haired woman walking past the door, but not going far. After a couple of steps, the heels stopped, presumably outside room 208.
Was she here for advertising pt in 208? At this time?
“You keep watg, I have something to take care of.”
“Okay.”
Seeing Feng Nanshu nod in agreement, Jiang Qin stepped out and, as expected, saw the woman standing at the door of 208, looking inside.
She wore a bck trench coat, with a white shirt and suit pants underh, and her long bck hair had slight waves, clearly well-maintained. She appeared to be uhirty, exuding the aura of a professional woman, with a pair of silver hoop earrings dangling from her ears.
Hoop earrings like these were quite popur among city beauties ba 2008.
“Hello, I help you with anything?”
As Jiang Qin spoke, the woman turned around.
“Are you in charge here? Let me introduce myself, my name is Ye Zi Qing.”
The oke politely, revealing her basiformation.
“Are you here to p advertisement?” Jiang Qin eyed her, feeling she didn’t quite fit the bill.
As expected, Ye Zi Qing shook her head calmly: “No, I used to be a student at Lin Uy and started a business in this . I just happeo pass by today and wao reminisce a bit. I didn’t expeeone else to be here now.”
A form Jiang Qin had seen long ago in 208 fshed through his mind: “Oh, Jiu Hui Group Buyie, right?”
“How do you know about that site?” Ye Zi Qing was slightly taken aback.
“When I applied for this , I found a stack of financial reports with that name on them.”
“Do you still have those dots? you give me a copy? Holy, that was my first entrepreneurial attempt. After it failed, I was quite upset. Many memorable things were lost, and now they are hard to find.”
Jiang Qin shook his head gently: “Sorry, those dots have been cleared out. If you had e a month earlier, you might have still found them.”
Ye Zi Qing couldn’t help but sigh, yet she didn’t seem too disappointed: “Alright then, I have other matters to attend to, so I won’t bother you any longer.”
“Don’t you want to take a look inside? You go in, I don’t mind.”
“Fet it, the past is the past, and this is no longer what it used to be.” After saying this, Ye Zi Qing turned a.
“Senior Ye, actually yroup buyie was quite iing. Having su idea in 2003 was quite advanced. It’s just that you took the wrong dire, which led to failure.”
“…”
“Seriously, if I were running it, I wouldn’t use er resources to find merts. Instead, I’d use mert resources to attract ers. I don’t know if you uand what I mean?”
Ye Zi Qing turo look at Jiang Qin, and then g 207, clearly seeing the silhouette of a girl. She was beautiful, but due to the ck of light, it was hard to see clearly.
She smiled slightly: “Young man, you should just enjoy your youth. Entrepreneurship isn’t that simple. Remember, theoretical knowledge is shallow.”
“Heh, don’t believe me then.” Jiang Qin ughed auro 207.
This small episode might seem insignifit to others, and so both of them didn’t dwell on it and quickly fot about it.
Jiang Qi back to 207, snuggled bader the b, and tinued watg the movie with Feng Nanshu.
“This girl. How far are you willing to go to save her?”
“How much would you sacrifice to save that girl?”
“I’d die for her.”
“?”
Jiang Qin was startled, thinking he didn’t remember this movie having a romantic plot. However, turning to look at Feng Nanshu, she didn’t seem to react much, instead showing more i in the special effects of the ships.
After a while, the rain outside gradually stopped.
In the evening, the sky brightened bit by bit, and a splendid array of clouds covered the sky above Lin Uy, looking vibrant and particurly clear after the rain.
Soon, Su Nai, Dong ang Hai, Lu Xuemei, and over a dozen others returo 208, pining about the unfortuiming of the award ceremony that day that left them drenched.
tally, ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ e that moment. Jiang Qin uncovered the b, pnning to escort Feng Nanshu back to her dormitory.
“Jiang Qin, give me back my socks,” Feng Nanshu looked up at him.
Jiang Qin wasn’t sure when he had taken off her socks, so he looked around aually found them under him: “Lift your foot, I’ll put them on for you.”
“Okay.”
Feng Nanshu extended her pale foot, letting Jiang Qin slip the so. She remained expressiohroughout, as if granting him a favor.
After they were ready, Jiang Qin escorted Feng Nanshu out of the Entrepreneurship ter towards the girls’ dormitory, where they ran into Gao Wenhui.
“Jiang Qin, I heard the campus beauty test is over? The first pce is Chu Siqi from the Law School?” Gao Wenhui asked indignantly, hands on her hips.
Jiang Qin was taken aback: “It’s okay, Little Gao, you participate year, or the year after. Anyway, you don’t stand a ce, but I prepare a sotion prize for you.”
“Get lost, I don’t care about that. But Feng Nanshu should be the number one campus beauty, others don’t deserve it!”
“No, she doesn’t want to be the campus beauty.” Jiang Qin said, gng at Feng Nanshu.
The little rich dy nodded seriously: “I don’t want to be the campus beauty.”
“Alright then, I have to go, there’s something in 208. We’ll talk aime.” Jiang Qin waved his hand a.
Gao Wenhui looked unvinced: “Feng Nanshu, does your world sist only of Jiang Qin? Do you listen to everything he says?”
Feng Nanshu coldly held up three fingers: “My world sists of three words.”
“What’s the third word?” Gao Wenhui uzzled.
“Jiang, Qin, stroll.”
“…”
