High-speed train, window seat.
’Whatever...’
What kind of answer is that? With Pei Yujing’s thought process, it’s hard to understand.
’Maybe he misheard...’ Pei Yujing thought.
She organized her words and asked again: "Jiang Ning, after the high-speed train stops, which city are you planning to disembark at?"
Jiang Ning replied erratically: "I’ll walk out using my legs."
Pei Yujing was stunned and said: "Can you be a bit more detailed?"
Jiang Ning: "Sure, I’ll decide based on the situation and personal preference whether to step out first with my left foot or my right foot."
Alright, now Pei Yujing fell silent.
Jiang Ning remained motionless, secretly using Divine Sense to scan her, thinking: ’So you can be speechless too?’
In his past life, when he interacted with Pei Yujing, she was always calm, which made Jiang Ning seem young and impetuous, not mature enough. But it was understandable; most of the ti, young girls are indeed more mature than boys of the sa age.
Moreover, by the standards of worldly rules, Pei Yujing was indeed far more outstanding than Jiang Ning.
So at that ti, Jiang Ning was very aware of himself, choosing to give up. Until the last ti he parted ways in the park, he still hadn’t seen Pei Yujing showing any special emotions towards him.
The last ti he received a ssage related to Pei Yujing was a few months later, when Sister Ma sent a WeChat, ’Xiao Jiang, Jingjing asked why you haven’t contacted her lately.’
The authenticity of this sentence can no longer be verified, but according to Jiang Ning’s estimation, it’s highly probable that Sister Ma made it up deliberately.
After experiencing the Shen Qing’e incident, he no longer wanted to painstakingly move a girl’s heart, because the more invested, the heavier the backlash at the end.
Jiang Ning’s response was, ’I miss Jingjing.’
And so, there was no more interaction since then.
At this mont.
Pei Yujing received Jiang Ning’s erratic response.
She sat quietly for a while at her seat, then lowered the small table. There was a ring attached to the back of her phone case, which she pulled up, allowing the phone to be placed horizontally as a stand.
The phone screen played a scene of a famous teacher lecturing, she gradually beca absorbed, watching intently.
Although Pei Yujing was beautiful, her personality was cold, reluctant to socialize, and liked to shy away from situations, so she had no friends.
Her family ran a barbecue shop, and during middle school, she was even teased by classmates, which further affected her values. But she was never bullied because Sister Ma, who ran the barbecue shop, was a heroine among won, not afraid of troublemakers, let alone those students.
Jiang Ning scanned her again, in the speeding carriage, Pei Yujing sat in ease, long black hair draping over her shoulders. Even when Jiang Ning’s Divine Sense brushed over, he faintly felt that softness.
’No wonder, in my past life, when I learned her hair got gum stuck by the Ghost Fire kids and had to be cut short, I felt so indignant...’
Suddenly, Jiang Ning froze, his eyes narrowed.
In his previous student days, he didn’t suffer from the Ghost Fire kids’ harassnt due to his cousin’s protection. But why, in this life, whenever he sees the Ghost Fire kids, can’t he resist setting off fireworks at them?
’In this sense, the fruit of this life is subtly influenced by the cause of the previous life.’
Jiang Ning felt inexplicably wistful.
Everything around him had nothing to do with Pei Yujing; she seed detached from ti, imrsed in the world of online classes.
Jiang Ning noticed she used an iPhone 6 Plus. Thinking carefully, it made sense; Sister Ma’s Barbecue tasted great, it likely earned twenty to thirty thousand a month easily, and Pei Yujing often helped out, even just earning a salary would be enough to buy it.
Pei Yujing was unaware of Jiang Ning’s thoughts; she was deeply imrsed in studying.
She loved learning; as long as she was studying, she didn’t feel lonely.
Even though helping at ho took up a lot of ti, she still managed to get into the experintal class because she had developed an addiction to learning.
"Ladies and gentlen, hello, the train you are riding will arrive at the next stop, Ancheng Station. For passengers disembarking at Ancheng Station, please prepare in advance..."
An City wasn’t Jiang Ning’s stop; as soon as the announcent played, an elderly aunt imdiately picked up her suitcase, rushing towards the train door as if unwilling to linger for even a second.
A young boy asked his father with a huge question: "Dad, why do people leave their seats and wait in the aisle before the high-speed train even arrives at the station? Obviously, it takes a few minutes to stop!"
The boy’s father, gentlemanly, patiently explained: "Because the stop ti for the high-speed train is very short, and there are many passengers waiting outside the carriage. If you don’t disembark earlier, they’ll squeeze in."
The boy’s mother then said: "Besides, getting off earlier allows you to catch a taxi first, standing a few minutes less on the train, you might wait half an hour more for a taxi once you’re out."
The boy had a mont of sudden realization, and his parents smiled contentedly—a nice family scene!
Suddenly, a voice erged from a corner: "Is there a possibility she hurried off because she’s afraid of being hit?"
As soon as this was said, the scene froze.
Many eyes involuntarily focused on Jiang Ning’s position.
Jiang Ning declared: "Under special circumstances, I generally don’t hit anyone."
The passengers chuckled, surprised that this tough guy could joke with them.
As the old passengers alighted and new ones boarded, the high-speed train started again.
On the high-speed train, what was most abundant were the loud-businessn on the phone and noisy children.
For the forr, Jiang Ning activated his Mana to shut off their phone power.
As for the latter, Jiang Ning turned his face, scolding a constantly noisy girl across the aisle: "Quiet!"
Generally speaking, parents who raise noisy children tend to have similar low quality themselves.
The girl’s father, with a serious deanor, frowned and said: "Why do you argue with a little child?"
