Jiang Nian was strolling around West Lake, almost to the point of feeling nauseous. But upon seeing the ssage, he still replied.
"Hmm."
He listed a few spots and asked Xu Shuang's preference; if she wasn't interested, he'd suggest others.
Luckily, Xu Shuang agreed happily.
"Anything's fine."
"Great." After replying, Jiang Nian put away his phone and headed to a breakfast shop—a breakfast chain.
In this area of Beijing, there's a variety of cuisines.
Jiang Nian bought breakfast and was heading back, sowhat absent-minded, thinking about Xu Shuang's matters.
As it currently stands, Xu Shuang is well-off. She has businesses over in South City, a bona fide angel investor.
Previously, he avoided suspicion, just hoping to cash in on so Gold Coins.
But in the long run, at the appropriate ti, there's no need to be so coy; if he should buy shares, he should.
With the help of good wind, rise to the skies.
Upstairs, he knocked on the door.
"You're back?" Song Xiyun opened the door with a slightly awkward expression, then quickly turned back into the room.
Jiang Nian didn't mind, placed the breakfast on the table, then walked to the door of Song Xiyun's room, which wasn't firmly closed.
"Is Xu Qianqian up?"
"No."
"Alright, rember to eat breakfast." Jiang Nian also hadn't eaten yet. "I have sothing to do later, need to go first."
"Huh?" Song Xiyun was startled for a mont, then instinctively said, "Leaving already? Not eating lunch together at noon?"
"No, not coming back tonight either." Jiang Nian thought, "I'll stay in the dorm temporarily, you guys eat on your own."
"What for?"
"Uh... business stuff." Jiang Nian felt a bit guilty; he couldn't very well say he planned to persuade investors.
Sigh, whatever.
Having money makes you a master; being hesitant achieves nothing big.
"Alright then." Song Xiyun nodded, wanting to say sothing, but caught a glimpse of a figure moving closer at the door out of the corner of her eye.
"Mmm~~"
Almost forgot, Xiao Song is also sweet and tasty. Jiang Nian kissed to his heart's content, then left smiling.
Two are stacked together.
Jiang Nian hadn't thought it through yet, and if he really did, he just felt confused. This thing offers too much emotional value.
No matter how he thought about it, it didn't seem worth it.
Think about it later.
He carried the breakfast back to school, finishing it in a few bites on the way. After class, he ca back babbling nonsense.
Beijing University is so damn free!
Unlike the cautiousness before enrollnt, now Jiang Nian found that if he wanted to lie down, Beijing University would send a chair.
Just don't die, make it to the necessary classes.
It's just hard to keep up with attendance for the easy classes.
Jiang Nian returned to the dorm, curled up there looking at data, dealing with so tasks, busy out of his mind.
He glanced at the ti, three-thirty in the afternoon.
He had a dinner date with Xu Shuang, but it was still early. So, he decided to rest and opened the group chat.
"Ah! What ti is it?"
Da Chao suddenly fell ill and sat up abruptly from the top bunk bed, "Crap, crap! I overslept like hell!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian and Brother Bao Song both turned around.
"What did you miss?"
"A date, probably."
"It's not a big deal, just explain." Jiang Nian comforted, "Besides, it's not four o'clock yet."
"Explanations depend on appearances too." Brother Bao Song sat in his gaming chair, rocking left and right, enjoying the drama.
"Like for a guy, when it cos to a pretty girl, usually, just a hug will resolve any anger."
"Damn!!" Da Chao was hit where it hurt, "Stop it, should I buy a bouquet to apologize?"
"I don't know, ask Jiang Nian."
"Bro."
"Uh..." Jiang Nian was taken aback, thought for a mont, "I guess I don't really have experience in this either."
Indeed, he hadn't even comforted Tingzi before.
"Sweet talk, bro!" Da Chao scrolled on his phone, probably already seeking advice on Little Red Book.
"This..." Jiang Nian scratched his chin, thought for a while, "How about you try patting her leg?"
.....
Evening.
Jiang Nian went to et the angel investor. He hadn't noticed before, but now Xu Shuang seed to glow with gold.
"Hmm?" Xu Shuang glanced at him, her expression slightly strange, "Did sothing good happen?"
"No, just having dinner with you." Jiang Nian said casually, "The weather's nice too, not bad."
Xu Shuang: "...."
They've been together for almost a year now; she has a good grasp of Jiang Nian. He rarely speaks the truth, always full of flattery.
Yet, she found herself not really minding.
"It's overcast today."
"Oh, right." Jiang Nian said awkwardly, "I'm thinking once the store stabilizes, I'd like to do other things."
"Like what?"
"Create an account, sell goods through live streams," Jiang Nian said, "It's quite popular now; soone contacted us."
"If it takes off, we could establish our own supply chain. Taking advantage of the trend, we might get a piece of the pie."
Xu Shuang: "???"
She had a vague understanding but didn't think deeply. The sums calculated should all involve quite a bit of money.
"Running low on funds?"
"Kind of." Jiang Nian felt a bit shy, "I'm thinking of sneaking out my dad's retirent money for a gamble."
Xu Shuang: "...."
This guy really makes loops, but their relationship at this stage does call for a bit of roundabout way.
It's like hiding behind a half-open pipa. In crude terms, it's still lingering at the verge of stepping over the line.
Honestly, that's too crude a way to put it.
Jiang Nian felt that flirting a bit was probably the limit. Rushing may disrupt the rhythm.
On a sixth sense level, and on the Durex level.
Basically, their relationship is good, in a sticky phase, but the windowpane shouldn't be broken.
Because there are many unresolved issues in between.
For instance, Jiang Nian only knows Xu Shuang is wealthy, but doesn't know how wealthy, or her specific situation.
Xu Shuang knows Jiang Nian is a player, but doesn't know exactly how much.
In addition, there are business matters. Roughly how long till they break even, these are all issues.
Business and personal matters.
Luckily, both of them are aware that the other is patient. So there's no rush, and Xu Shuang quite enjoys the process.
