Seeing they were about to crash, Ding Shuyan hit the brakes and stopped just in ti.
The elderly man riding the electric scooter in front didn’t seem to notice at all and continued leisurely onward without even turning his head.
In such a situation, 99.9% of drivers would definitely be cursing out loud.
Even so, Ding Shuyan remained remarkably calm.
It was the first ti Jiang Ning had seen soone manage their emotions so strictly, and he said, "If you want to curse, just curse."
Ding Shuyan gently shook her head, "It’s aningless."
Jiang Ning asked, "You must have so emotions, right?"
Ding Shuyan even managed to joke, "If I could, I’d like to install a machine gun in the car."
Unfortunately, she had to obey the rules in the end.
Imagining the scenario, Jiang Ning chuckled.
But while Ding Shuyan could endure, Jiang Ning couldn’t let the slight go unchallenged; he slightly raised his finger and made a light swipe.
The electric scooter that was moving forward steadily suddenly veered to the right, and no matter how hard the elderly man tried, he couldn’t straighten it, and he dashed off the road, plunging headlong into the dried-up river ditch below.
After finishing, Jiang Ning said nothing and lazily leaned back in his seat.
Ding Shuyan slowly retracted her surprised gaze, thinking to herself, "Well done."
How could she not have any temper?
There were too many odd vehicles on the road, moving at a snail’s pace, zigzagging, or suddenly darting out from a turn...
Her aunt used to say, if you can drive on the road for half an hour without cursing, you’re considered a person with good manners unless you’re the one being cursed at.
Before her aunt took over Lin’s Company, she often drove Ding Shuyan around, cursing in all directions, sotis getting so mad she would cut people off, and even impulsively wanting to get out of the car to hit soone.
Compared to Jiang Ning using transcendent powers to obliterate soone, this kind of detail in everyday life actually impacted Ding Shuyan more.
With Jiang Ning’s security, Ding Shuyan drove more relaxed, with no more erratic electric scooters, and cars that jerked seed to blow a tire...
After getting on the county road, even though the driving environnt was obviously better, Ding Shuyan started checking the right rearview mirror more frequently, glancing at it from ti to ti.
Jiang Ning initially ignored her, but then he asked, "Why are you looking at ?"
Ding Shuyan wasn’t flustered at all and explained with a straight face, "You probably don’t have a driver’s license, right? I’m looking at the right rearview mirror to check road conditions."
Jiang Ning replied, "On the complex roads of the town, you looked at the right rearview mirror every 42 seconds, each glance lasting 2 to 3 seconds. Now on the better-road-conditioned county road, you glance every 12 seconds, each for about 10 seconds. Are you kidding ?"
Ding Shuyan: "..."
She initially thought she could use subtle details to conclude that Jiang Ning couldn’t drive and slightly dominate him with her experience, but she unintentionally overlooked his transcendent observation skills.
Thick-skinned, Ding Shuyan said, "Alright, I admit, sotis I’m checking the road, sotis I’m checking you out."
Jiang Ning chuckled, "So you admit to peeking, huh?"
Deciding to indulge him, Ding Shuyan said leisurely, "When I’m looking at the road, it’s far; when I’m looking at you, it’s near."
Jiang Ning found her rather slick.
He didn’t respond to Ding Shuyan but instead grabbed his phone to check ssages.
First up was a bombardnt of ssages from Tongtong, which Jiang Ning habitually ignored. Once he starts replying to her, it just never ends. Anyway, he would soon be ho, ready for a surprise.
Next were ssages from Chen Siyu: "Jiang Ning, are you still in the countryside? My sister and I have decided after so discussion to formally invite you over to our place to hang out."
Jiang Ning: "Hmm? What do you an?"
At this mont, in the living room sowhere in the urban area, the air conditioner blew warm air.
On the sofa, Chen Siyu was playing on her phone, comfortably nestled next to her sister.
Chen Siqing complained, "Stop hugging , I’m lting from the heat."
Chen Siyu replied to the ssage: "Since you invited us twice, we ought to repay kindness with kindness and invite you over as a guest!"
"How about finding a ti, Jiang Ning?"
"Forget it, I’ll pick. Better seize the mont than miss it. How about today?"
"My parents have gone to visit relatives in the car, just co over directly."
Her ssages ca flooding in: "My sister and I will personally cook for you!"
Jiang Ning smirked, "Give a break. Last ti you two made pork, Tongtong took a bite and said, ’The pig died in vain.’"
Chen Siyu was unfazed by embarrassnt, warmly inviting, "Then I’ll find a restaurant downstairs to cook for you?"
Jiang Ning: "It’s not a good idea, it’s almost New Year, if I co to your house for dinner and your parents suddenly co back, wouldn’t I be a third wheel?"
Chen Siyu assured: "I’ll teach you, park your electric bike in my dad’s parking spot, when he cos back he’ll definitely call you to move it."
Jiang Ning: "?"
Chen Siyu looked puzzled. She put down her phone and asked: "Sister, isn’t my idea good? Why isn’t he responding?"
Chen Siqing: "It’s too good!"
...
The intersection of Nanhong Road and the asphalt road by the river dam.
Jiang Ning: "Stop here."
Ding Shuyan didn’t ask why; she hit the brakes and parked the car by the roadside.
Jiang Ning used Divine Sense to scan Ding Shuyan’s face. Even though her routine had changed in recent days, her face still exuded purity and delicateness, without any flaws.
’Enviable genes,’ Jiang Ning thought.
But in the details, he still caught occasional flashes of exhaustion in her eyes.
With that thought, Jiang Ning flipped his palm, and a small pure white bottle appeared.
Though Ding Shuyan was scheming against him, she had genuinely put in effort these past days. Jiang Ning placed the small bottle on the console and said: "Keep it."
Ding Shuyan stared at the small bottle. Her discerning eye could tell it was a porcelain bottle, but she couldn’t determine what was inside.
However, since it was a gift from Jiang Ning, it was not just a gift but a sign of acknowledgnt.
Jiang Ning didn’t say what was inside the bottle, and she didn’t ask either.
Before getting out of the car, Jiang Ning glanced at her and left a remark: "You’re like the porcelain from Ceramic City."
After speaking, Jiang Ning didn’t stay any longer.
He left Ding Shuyan to ponder over this remark, confused: ’Is he saying I’m expensive and valuable?’
But no matter how she thought about it, she couldn’t grasp its aning.
Ding Shuyan took out her phone and ssaged the knowledgeable Lin Zida: "What are the characteristics of the porcelain from Ceramic City?"
Lin Zida replied instantly: "As everyone knows, porcelain is fired, but the porcelain from Ceramic City is often seen as exquisite..."
Ding Shuyan keenly extracted the key point from this, astonished: ’Fired exquisitely?’
’Jiang Ning actually...’
Imdiately, a thin blush spread across her cheeks, not crafted by makeup but flowing naturally beneath her delicate skin.
The blush of a young girl, stunningly beautiful.
...
This morning, Jiang Ning took a walk in the fields of Jiangjiazhuang, ate so specialty pastries from Wa Temple Town, and after riding the bus for over an hour, finally reached the river dam, spending a fulfilling morning.
anwhile, Tongtong was still at ho, sleeping soundly.
Today’s weather was great, with the wind playfully swirling the white clouds.
Xue Chuchu, dressed in a simple down jacket, stood outside Tongtong’s room, gently knocked on the door, and called: "Ti to get up, breakfast is ready."
Xue Yuantong squird in his bed, turned over, and said: "Just a little longer."
Xue Chuchu was speechless: "I’ve been waiting for you for half an hour already, we still have to go help out at the rural tourism spot!"
Lately, the rural tourism business was doing well, many tourists ca to the greenhouse to pick strawberries, making things a bit busy. Yang Fei thought of Jiang Ning’s friends and hired them for 300 yuan a day to help out, such as showing guests how to pick strawberries, essentially finding ways for them to earn money.
Xue Yuantong clutched his small quilt, finding an excuse: "Actually, there was sothing wrong with my eyes just now!"
Xue Chuchu was surprised: "What’s wrong with your eyes?"
Worried, she pushed open the door.
And saw Tongtong’s bright, twinkling eyes.
Xue Yuantong grinned and said: "I was too sleepy to open them earlier, but I can open them now!"
Xue Chuchu, a bit annoyed: "Lazybones!"
She didn’t bother with Tongtong anymore, twisting her slender and graceful waist, and decisively walked back ho.
She left with a remark: "If you don’t get up soon, I’m going to eat all the breakfast."
