Chapter 87: Chapter 87 The Unknown AdmirerThe position by the back door of the classroom.
The taciturn Luo Zhongping witnessed the entire interaction between Jiang Nian and Chen Yunyun. Although he didn’t intend to listen, his ears had their own ideas and caught every word.
To be honest, he was quite envious of Jiang Nian, who could chat and laugh with Chen Yunyun.
When he usually looked at Chen Yunyun, his gaze was always indifferent, half out of inferiority, half out of affection.
That’s why he seldom read romance novels, finding them somewhat unrealistic.
True love never dares to meet the eyes, only catching glimpses a thousand times over.
Compared to the front, it’s the back that becomes familiar. Only then can he peek without pretending.
Like a country mouse in a courtyard, gazing at the moon through a small square opening. Even if the moonlight never touches him for a moment.
He knew that Chen Yunyun got along well with the boys in class and could even join in on the basketball games during PE class. She was lively, cheerful, and her grades were excellent.
Even though they were both boarders, her home was in town.
He had visited Yunmu Town once, accompanied by his father, who proudly briefed him on how vast and economically prosperous Yunmu Town was, while disparagingly stepping on their own village in comparison.
His dad didn’t know that the girl he liked lived in town, where there’s a supermarket right outside the door. Downstairs, the streets weren’t very clean, but streetlights covered the entire town.
Yunmu is prosperous, only inferior to Zhennan County.
There are affordable snack shops and both pirated and legitimate milk tea shops. There are even a few skating rinks, rare even in the county, only found in the city.
Shops were abundant, and merchants were countless.
A large bridge spanned across, connecting Zhennan County and Taiping County. The flow of people was like smoke. Young people in town, even if not studying, could have a family business.
He didn’t intend to tell his father about the person he liked, not wanting to add pressure on him.
He heard that his cousin just got married last year, draining his uncle’s savings, and additionally borrowing a hundred thousand from relatives. In total, it cost 360,000 to have the wedding.
If marrying a country girl was already like this, what about a girl from town?
Luo Zhongping sighed while lowering his head, having never been to a gym. His monthly allowance was tight, just enough to get by, not comparable to his dorm mates.
He didn’t dare to complain, knowing that money came from his parents’ hard work in the fields.
He had no clue what a gym looked like. He just saw that Chen Yunyun seemed interested, and if he had the money, he might take her there or get her a membership card...
She would probably be very happy.
Thinking of this, Luo Zhongping took out his Redmi phone, its yellowish case reflecting oiliness. He carefully booted up, not intending to buy but wanting to know how much a gym membership costs.
After a brief boot-up, he opened Baidu to
"Hmm, I’m seeing if you’ll take out snacks from the bag." Jiang Nian looked like someone who loves free food, waiting for his desk mate to feed him.
"Only yogurt and toast left, I got them from the newly opened bakery outside the school." Zhang Ningzhi took out a box of yogurt and a bag of warm toast.
No wonder she’s Zhi Zhi, who buys toast?
For most students, toast is just plain bread without fillings. It doesn’t have any stuffings, a bit softer, a bit pricier, and tastier bread.
To charge such a price for a piece of bread?
So around the school, only one little shop specializing in toast survived. Girls liked to snack a bit in the afternoon or fill their stomachs at noon.
"Forget it, with only one bag, you eat it."
"Ah, I’m not hungry." Zhang Ningzhi dared not look at him, whispering, "I... I already ate when I came."
"Ate already? Who buys such things?" Jiang Nian directly poked at her lie, "You’re putting pressure on me, what if someone accuses me of indulging you with gifts on campus."
"Huh?" Zhang Ningzhi was bewildered.
"I’m just using an example; anyway, I have ways to get food." Jiang Nian stood up and patted her shoulder, "I’ll go rob Ma Guojun a bit, he probably got some cookies."
Zhang Ningzhi murmured an "oh" and said no more.
Jiang Nian left his seat, indeed heading towards Ma Guojun. He wasn’t there, so Jiang Nian took a pack of Oreo cookies from his desk and left a note on it.
"Brother Ma, borrowed a pack of cookies, ---- Li Hua."
Then he opened the pack and started enjoying, and when he returned to his seat, he found half a pack of toast on the desk. Looking at his desk mate, her head was buried, working on test papers.
Completely indifferent to outside matters except her ears were a little red.
Jiang Nian didn’t know what to say for a moment. Just as he sat down, Chen Yunyun came over holding a stack of his review materials, placing it on Li Hua’s empty seat, handing it to Jiang Nian.
"I’ve copied all of them, remember what you said."
"OKOK." Jiang Nian gestured an "ok" hand sign, "Whenever you guys have time to go, just let me know, I’ll contact that side directly for you."
"Hee hee, thank you boss." Chen Yunyun walked away happily with her hands behind her back.
Jiang Nian smiled, flipping through the copied answers. Then suddenly felt something was off. Turning his head, he saw Zhang Ningzhi quietly staring at him.
Uh?
