Chapter 1458: Chapter 806: The Hider_2
Jiang Ning saw Ding Shuyan’s WeChat ID.
Her profile picture was different from those with cute pets, ani characters, or abstract drawings; it was a simple hand-drawn little girl, very clean and straightforward.
Checking her Monts, there’s not much like those vain girls who constantly post fake beauty-enhanced selfies that even dogs wouldn’t find attractive, or those stupid effects like waterlon heads or distorted faces.
Ding Shuyan’s Monts are also quite clean, featuring a half-body shot in sportswear, mountain scenery, afternoon tea, and calligraphy.
Jiang Ning glanced at her personal signature: [Abandon sensitivity, absolute rationality.]
‘Oh.’
Jiang Ning thought for a mont, then suddenly in a mischievous mood, sent her a ssage, finding fault: “Why do you stay in the list every day without chatting with ?”
Tiger Nest Mountain Villa District.
On the third floor, in the south-facing bedroom, Ding Shuyan was sitting on the bed, holding a book, occasionally deep in thought, occasionally having insights, her eyes flickering with a faint silver glow.
The bright moonlight poured through the window into the room, brushing over her hair tips and landing on the soft pajamas, giving her figure a hazy yet elegant beauty.
Just then, the phone beside her vibrated.
Ding Shuyan picked it up casually, initially indifferent, only to find it was a ssage from Jiang Ning.
When she saw the content, she was a bit speechless.
Ding Shuyan’s fingers, as pale as white onions, tapped the screen: “You told not to talk to you if there’s nothing important.”
Jiang Ning sent another ssage, asking her: “Oh, so nothing happened during these days?”
Ding Shuyan quietly replied: “Because I’m not chatting with you.”
Jiang Ning: “…”
Ding Shuyan was very mature, knowing when to advance and retreat. During the exam today, Jiang Ning used Divine Sense to check her and discovered she wasn’t completely indifferent; she just hid it well.
This level of ntal acuity is remarkable.
A person’s ntal acuity isn’t necessarily proportional to their age, and it’s more related to their experiences.
In life, you’ll find plenty of people in their fifties or sixties with a ntal acuity as volatile and irritable as a child’s.
Yet so great people remain unwavering even when faced with a mountain crumbling before them, at a young age.
Girls usually have a more mature psychological age than boys. Coming from a specific type of family, she was more ntally mature than the girls around Jiang Ning, even surpassing Bai Yuxia significantly.
After sending the ssage, Ding Shuyan felt a bit regretful, admitting that she had so defiant emotions just now, lacking the proper respect.
Wouldn’t this anger him?
As she was about to compose another ssage, she received another from Jiang Ning: “Was there just an earthquake?”
Ding Shuyan was puzzled: “No?”
Jiang Ning thought of Mr. Guo’s matchmaking partner’s greasy remarks, and mischievously said: “Then why did my heart skip a beat when I received your ssage?”
Ding Shuyan looked at the phone screen, her mouth slightly open: ‘Ah?’
‘No, no way… He… Why is he like this…?’
This isn’t the solitary, transcendent figure I imagined—he’s a bit greasy…
Ding Shuyan had always paid attention to Jiang Ning because he was her goal, a transcendent existence, but now, her convictions were sowhat collapsing.
She picked up the water cup by the bed and took a sip, calming her mind.
She didn’t rush to reply but used a search engine instead, quickly finding so books like “CEO Above” and “CEO, Please Behave”…
As the saying goes, know yourself and your enemy, and you can fight hundred battles—Ding Shuyan began to study.
…
Chuchu’s little room.
Chuchu was studying at the desk, Tongtong sitting beside her eating sugar-fried chestnuts, wrapped in a small blanket over her legs.
During childhood, Tongtong and Chuchu were always like this; having shared joys and hardships, they remained happy even in cold environnts.
Since Chuchu was studying, she couldn’t eat the sugar-fried chestnuts by herself, so Tongtong peeled them for her and put them into her mouth.
Xue Yuantong happily sat beside Chuchu, who loved learning, playing with her phone, doubling the joy!
Her QQ popped up a ssage: “Tongtong, are you gaming now?”
This was a ssage from her gaming friend, Shang Caiwei.
Xue Yuantong: “Not now, I’m eating sothing. I’ll play later.”
In an urban area, inside an e-sports room, Shang Caiwei felt disappointed; Xue Yuantong hadn’t played gas with her for a while, and Caiwei hardly had many friends, and now she seed on the verge of quitting the ga.
Suddenly, the door opened, and Shang Zhengyu entered the room with a fruit plate; even in casual ho wear, he looked handso: “Have so fruit.”
Shang Caiwei: “Oh, okay.”
Shang Zhengyu sat down beside her, concerned: “What are you up to?”
Shang Caiwei spoke hesitantly: “Getting ready to play gas with friends.”
Shang Zhengyu nodded: “Go ahead, play.”
No one played gas with Shang Caiwei.
Shang Caiwei pulls out her phone and sends a ssage: “When do you think you’ll call?”
Xue Yuantong: “At least an hour later.”
Shang Caiwei: “No worries, I can wait for you.”
She’s a bit afraid of his brother and feels uncomfortable interacting with him, just wanting to find an excuse to avoid him.
Xue Yuantong: “Hard to say, maybe Jiang Ning will play with .”
Shang Caiwei: “Oh~ can you add ? Just one ga!”
Xue Yuantong, seeing how humble she is, replies: “Sure.”
Shang Caiwei breathes a sigh of relief.
…
Xue Yuantong peels a sugar-roasted chestnut, and Chuchu eats one.
Later on, when Tongtong stretches out her hand, Chuchu opens her little mouth, cooperating perfectly.
Xue Yuantong smiles mischievously in an angle that Chuchu can’t see, deliberately taking out an unpeeled chestnut and putting it to Chuchu’s mouth.
Chuchu seriously chews twice, but it doesn’t budge; she bites harder.
Xue Yuantong giggles, and after laughing, she quickly pushes the door open and dashes out.
Xue Chuchu finally realizes she’s been tricked, her cheeks flush with annoyance. She gives up on her worksheet and gets up to chase Tongtong.
By this ti, Tongtong has already run to Jiang Ning’s courtyard, pushing open the door.
Then, she sees Jiang Ning living a fairy-like life, watching movies, drinking cola, and eating snacks.
In an instant, her eyes widen in betrayal!
Too despicable!
She exclaims, “Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning, Chuchu’s coming to get , quickly open the wardrobe so I can hide inside!”
Jiang Ning doesn’t waste ti, swiftly opening the wardrobe, and Tongtong dashes inside.
As soon as she’s inside, she stretches out a hand, grabs a duck wing, and closes the wardrobe door.
Jiang Ning uses spiritual power to close the door and erase traces, creating a scene as if no one has been there.
Just a few seconds after getting into the wardrobe, Xue Chuchu pushes open the door, her eyes scanning Jiang Ning’s small room, her cold gaze lingering on the bed, under the bed, the wardrobe for several seconds.
Then, she realizes she’s being too stern. Imdiately, her gaze softens, her deanor becoming gentle like water.
Jiang Ning: “What’s up?”
Xue Chuchu asks: “Did Tongtong co?”
Jiang Ning, calm: “Nope.”
“Alright.” Xue Chuchu turns to leave, planning to find Tongtong at her place.
Before leaving, Xue Chuchu casually notices the snacks on the table, the aroma irresistible.
Jiang Ning out of courtesy: “Want to try so?”
Xue Chuchu: “Ah…”
Jiang Ning: “I can’t finish it all by myself.”
Xue Chuchu: “Okay then.”
Xue Chuchu sits properly on the sofa.
Jiang Ning, knowing well how to be a host, points at the snacks on the small table, “They’re quite good, I originally prepared them for you and Tongtong to try.”
Inside the wardrobe, Tongtong is very angry!
In her anger, she secretly munches the duck wing, finding it delicious, much better than the ones usually sold on the street. Xue Yuantong quickly finishes a duck wing.
Unfortunately, Jiang Ning didn’t send Chuchu away, so she has to hide in the wardrobe.
After about ten minutes, Xue Chuchu realizes she’s eaten too much, wipes her mouth with a napkin, the atmosphere slightly awkward.
Jiang Ning asks: “Have you been busy with studies lately?”
Xue Chuchu: “It’s alright, mainly the exams.”
Jiang Ning: “Well, keep it up.”
“Yeah.” The two make small talk.
Xue Chuchu realizes she’s been too aloof, and after eating Jiang Ning’s food, she feels it’s not very polite.
In courtesy, she initiates: “I suddenly rembered a joke about ‘cheering up’.”
Jiang Ning: “What joke?”
“I saw on a forum before, soone asked, why do gas station jobs pay so low, yet people still want to work there?”
“And soone replied, because they hear encouragent from strangers every day: ‘Cheer up!'”
Before Jiang Ning can react, there’s a giggle from inside the wardrobe.
Xue Chuchu’s eyes imdiately move to the wardrobe.
