Chapter 59 Daily life
"Running at night? Master, please spare us," Liu Nan's neck shrank, staring at Quan Yafeng in astonishment, and said in fear: "It's winter, go back to the dormitory and get some warm sleep, don't go crazy."
Downstairs of the Lanzhou University teaching building, four people who had just finished their self-study class were walking together on the tree-lined avenue.
They were all frozen stiff. The north wind blew for only a few minutes and their bodies could no longer bear it. The weather was extremely gloomy and cold.
But Quan Yafeng suddenly suggested that he wanted to run every night starting from today and keep exercising!
"I won't run away either. I plan to spend time with my wife tonight." Wei Zhen shivered.
"Where did you get your wife?"
"Didn't I tell you? Kaguya Shinomiya! I plan to finish catching up on Kaguya-sama: Love is War Season 2 tonight."
"It's too perverted to call a paper figure your wife."
"Otakus are like this. I wouldn't be surprised if Xiao Zhenzhen put on a short skirt and white stockings and became a little boy girl one day. You can't understand his train of thought. There are a lot of girls who don't cherish them, but insist on being obsessed with the second dimension."
"Hey!" Wei Zhen's face suddenly turned red after being scolded by Liu Nan, and he stammered: "What little boy girl? Don't slander my innocence out of thin air..."
"Why are you so anxious? Could it be that what I said is true?"
"Fuck off!"
Several people talked to each other and walked a few steps. Only Quan Yafeng remained silent, as if he did not listen to what everyone said. He suddenly stood there motionless.
"I'm going for a run," he raised his head, his eyes reflecting the soft light of the street lamp beside him, "From today on, I will be a self-disciplined person, whether it's studying or exercising, I will start to change from this minute, this second!"
"Are you sick? Can't you get up early and run tomorrow?"
"No, starting tonight!"
Quan Yafeng suddenly turned his head and strode towards the playground with such firm steps.
It seemed as if he had a determination that no one could stop him.
Several people looked at each other.
"How to do?"
"I think he might have been stimulated by Li Bing's incident. He is intermittently ambitious. It should be fine after a few days. It's okay to vent." After Chen Yuan said this, he followed Quan Yafeng's footsteps.
"You're not going home?"
"I'm fine. I can stay a little later. I have nothing to do."
After a few seconds, Chen Yuan had already run more than ten meters and responded from a distance.
"Damn! What the hell are you doing..." Liu Nan cursed and hurriedly followed.
“I give in…” Wei Zhen rolled his eyes and took a step forward.
……
The four of them accompanied Quan Yafeng on the playground, running around in circles, and soon they were so tired that their heads were covered with sweat.
About ten kilometers away is the southern city area of Lanjing.
Jiang Ning just turned off the engine and walked upstairs in her high heels.
This small villa looks quite high-end. The owner is Qin Ting, a 39-year-old beautiful woman with decent looks and special charm.
She is the owner of a beauty salon and has been friends with Jiang Ning for many years.
At that time, Jiang Ning had not yet graduated from college and met Qin Ting through a dinner party.
Women's friendship is very strange. Perhaps just because they are interested in the same brand of clothes, they can develop into extremely good friends. Her friendship with Qin Ting started almost like this, and it has been five or six years.
Then Jiang Ning came to Lanjing to coach.
Qin Ting herself is from Lanjing, which makes the connection even closer.
"Sister Qin?"
Jiang Ning walked into the spacious and bright living room and called softly. A moment later, a voice came from upstairs, "Ningning, come up, we are on the terrace!"
us?
Jiang Ning was a little puzzled. She took the spiral escalator to the second floor and saw several women dressed up gorgeously on the terrace.
There are a few friends she knows, with whom she often goes out for dinner and shopping.
There was also a new face, who looked a little older than her, with big wavy hair and long legs folded together, looking very charming.
"Why aren't the lights on?"
Jiang Ning sat down on the sofa. The entire floor was dim. There was only a beautiful lamp on the table in front, emitting a faint light that illuminated the cheeks of several women.
The atmosphere is hazy and ambiguous.
As long as someone sits back a little, their cheeks will immediately be hidden in the darkness and it will be difficult to see clearly, and even the color of their hair cannot be determined.
Facing the terrace, the moon is reflected on the sparkling river surface. Looking further north, the sparse and connected city night scene is quite beautiful.
"If we turn on the lights, the beautiful atmosphere will be gone." Qin Ting smiled charmingly, and the silver earrings hanging on her earlobes sparkled.
She covered Jiang Ning with a soft, thick blanket.
"It's cold at night, don't catch a cold."
"When Ningning came, my eyes widened. We are both women, but how come she has such a good temperament?" said the woman who was curled up in a corner of the sofa and completely disappeared when she pulled up the blanket slightly.
"How can you compare with her? She is a lady from a noble family."
"This is Jiang Ning, whom you often mention... Wow, I used to think you were exaggerating, but I was really surprised when I met you today." The wavy-haired woman's beautiful eyes were also full of surprise.
"Well, among us sisters, Ningning is the most capable one."
"How can there be..."
Jiang Ning waved her hands shyly, but did not forget to thank the girl for the compliment when she first met her.
"My name is Gao Min."
"Jiang Ning."
She still hasn't figured out what the purpose of gathering so many people here so late at night is?
It seems that Sister Qin has no intention of getting to the point.
Instead, he handed her a cup and poured some wine into it.
Jiang Ning didn't like drinking very much. She wouldn't touch it except on necessary occasions. But she didn't want to offend Sister Qin, so she just held the bottle in her hand.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, I'll start..."
Qin Ting took a deep breath, closed her eyes and opened them again, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and she uttered a word with some difficulty.
"I... want a divorce!"
When these words came out, all the girls were surprised, staring at her with wide eyes in confusion, shocked beyond words.
The same goes for Jiang Ning.
She has always envied Sister Qin for having a good husband. Not only is he capable, but he is also a down-to-earth person, polite in speech, and hard to dislike. The two have been married for about ten years, and they are very loving during this period. She has never heard of any problems happening.
In the past, when she came to Sister Qin's house for dinner, the couple treated each other with respect at the dinner table.
Looking at the way they support each other, it seems like they will never quarrel.
"how come……"
"Aren't you and my brother getting along pretty well?" asked the petite girl in the orange skirt in the corner.
Gao Min was so frightened that she couldn't speak. She stared at Qin Ting with her round eyes and remained frozen for a long time before she recovered.
As if petrified.
While everyone was asking questions, Qin Ting waved her hand and said calmly, "I have been planning for divorce for more than half a year. It is not a hasty decision, and I have made up my mind."
"What happened? Did you have a fight?"
"No," Qin Ting picked up the wine glass, hugged her knees and tilted her head back, drinking the bright liquid in the clear glass in one gulp. She frowned and said, "He cheated on me."
Jiang Ning was surprised and thought silently, Sister Qin's husband seemed like a good man in the past...but he actually cheated on her.
This is all the mess after marriage.
Jiang Ning had seen it before, but didn't know much about it. She was just like that young girl sitting on the sofa watching the middle-aged people's favorite TV series. She always felt it was out of place, but couldn't help being curious.
"I discovered it half a year ago through some clues from him. I had never suspected it before. After that business trip, I checked his phone and found that he had deleted several text messages. I transferred money to him on June 26th, and the bank should have the information, but it was missing for a few days. Normal people would not delete text messages for no reason, unless there is something they want to delete, and then they find it troublesome to delete them one by one, so they delete them all at once."
"After that I paid extra attention and started looking up other things."
Qin Ting flipped her hair and said in a deep voice: "The more I pay attention, the more clues I find. In the end, I confirmed that he was indeed cheating on me, and he was with that woman on several business trips."
As she spoke, Gao Min's expression changed from bright to dark. For some reason, it looked indescribably ugly.
"My brother must have been seduced by that vixen. He is definitely not that kind of person." "Yeah, why don't you have a good communication with your brother-in-law. After all, you have been married for more than ten years."
"What are you still communicating about? I hate betrayal the most. Sister Qin, you must not forgive him."
The girls were talking to each other and were about to start a quarrel. They had different opinions and were arguing with each other.
Jiang Ning was squeezed in, not daring to say a word. She just thought, who am I, where am I, and why did I come here? !
"I would like to communicate, but the property has started to be transferred," Qin Ting smiled miserably, "The person you trust is not a good person, don't you think, Minmin?"
"Ah... indeed! Sister Qin, you must not give in."
"Minmin is right," Qin Ting stood up, took two steps towards her, and sat next to her. Jiang Ning was sitting to her right, and Jiang Ning was leaning against Gao Min. She continued, "Tell me, how can there be such shameless bitches who have to destroy other people's relationships?"
"..."
"Shouldn't people like this be stripped naked, dragged by their hair, and dragged out onto the street for people to watch?"
"..."
Qin Ting raised her lips as she spoke, seeming to be a little tipsy. She stretched out her fingers to pinch Gao Min's chin and lifted it up slightly. "Minmin, you are indeed very pretty, but I can't understand why you insist on destroying other people's families. I clearly regard you as such a good friend."
In a flash, she raised her hands high, and her expression instantly became gloomy and fierce.
Snapped--
Jiang Ning and several people around her were stunned.
The next second, the two women started to fight, tearing each other's hair and clothes fiercely, and spewing all kinds of sarcastic insults.
Jiang Ning quickly shrank to the side, staring in amazement at them as they suddenly started fighting.
Everyone present could hear who the person was who destroyed Sister Qin's family, and they also understood why she called everyone over.
"What...what should I do?"
"Needless to say! Help me beat this green tea bitch. I've already disliked her."
"Go ahead, sister!"
There was chaos on the terrace, with curses, shouts, and screams all mixed together. The cups on the table fell to the ground with a crash and broke into pieces. Jiang Ning took a few steps back. She didn't want to fight, and she didn't know how to fight.
……
When Jiang Ning returned home, it was already late at night and she was exhausted.
My sister wasn't asleep yet, but I didn't know who she was talking to on the phone. When she came in, I hurriedly said, "Let's do this for now. We'll talk again when we have a chance. Bye."
The call was hung up.
"Sister, why are you back so late?" Jiang Yao stood up and put a pillow behind her back. For some reason, her cheeks were slightly red.
"Don't mention it, I've really had an eye-opener tonight."
"What happened? Tell me... What's wrong with you? You smell like alcohol. Have you been drinking?"
When she came closer, Jiang Yao covered her nose and frowned.
"I didn't drink it. Someone poured it on me."
"what?"
"I'm going to take a shower first and come back to tell you, I'm so unlucky!"
Jiang Ning took off her shirt and held it in her hand, looking haggard.
……
In the early morning, the warm sunlight shines in through the gaps in the window, reflecting a long spot of light on the clean floor.
In the warm room, various dolls are piled up on the left side, and the messy look is full of life.
On the right side, there is a neatly tidied little desk, on which is placed a glass of boiled water, an unfinished copy of Rashomon, and a delicate fountain pen stuck where it was last read. The desk lamp is slightly lowered, as if it is about to bend down to kiss the succulent plant in the small oval flowerpot.
On the soft big bed, two women who looked exactly the same were sleeping soundly, and the thick quilt was pulled away for the most part. The girl in the black suspender pajamas only covered half of her body, revealing her bony shoulders, and her round breasts gradually rose, and the rest was completely covered.
The other girl's sleeping posture was not so pretty. She raised one leg high and pressed it down on the body. She leaned against her with her forehead pressed against her neck, and her soft breath fell on her shoulder.
Under the grey quilt, there are four white little feet intertwined. It is hard to tell which one belongs to whom, but they all look equally pink, tender and smooth, and as beautiful as a carved work of art.
"Hmm~"
Jiang Ning hummed lightly, opened her sleepy eyes, and rubbed her loose hair.
After she woke up a little, she wanted to get up, but suddenly she felt a headache and looked at Jiang Yao beside her helplessly.
Alas... my hair is held down again.
After washing up and putting on some light makeup, Jiang Ning looked at herself in the mirror and was quite satisfied.
I slept late yesterday, so I have some slight dark circles under my eyes, but it doesn’t matter. I can just use concealer.
She even drew eyeliner on purpose to make her eyes look bigger.
However, when she opened the wardrobe and prepared to choose clothes, Jiang Ning's half-stretched hand suddenly stopped in mid-air, and her ears seemed to hear someone's words again.
"Dress more conservatively in school from now on!"
Jiang Ning withdrew her hand for some unknown reason and moved her eyes to the thin down jacket that she had bought last year and had never worn.
This is not being obedient!
It's just that maybe it's cold outside today...
……
"December 17th, sunny."
Lanjing University, in the office.
Jiang Ning wrote this line and thought about it for a while.
In order to be sure of her feelings, she decided to start writing a diary and record her psychological changes so that she could accurately judge whether she really liked Chen Yuan.
Looking back, maybe we can get some useful information.
Maybe you can get the answer.
"December 17, sunny"
"Today, I was busy all day, mainly dealing with various matters left by the previous deputy secretary of the Youth League Committee. I was busy until the afternoon and then I had time to prepare lessons."
"Chen Yuan... okay, I thought of his name nine times in total. I wasn't looking forward to the class, but if I didn't have class, it seemed like I wouldn't have the chance to see him."
"Strange, why do you have to want to see him... He's just an ignorant male college student. Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning, can you wake up a little? No, you have to keep yourself busy."
……
"December 18, cloudy"
"I am speechless! After finishing my diary last night and going home to rest, I actually dreamed about Chen Yuan. It was a particularly embarrassing and shy dream."
"When I think about it now, my face still gets hot. It's winter now, Jiang Ning, what on earth are you doing?!"
"You clearly said you didn't want to miss him, but you kept thinking about him during the day, and you even dreamed about him at night. However... I almost forgot the details of the plot. When I think back, it seems that I got to the most crucial part and the scene was missing. Could it be that you don't have the experience so you can't dream about him (crossed out and blacked out)"
"Fortunately, I was able to tame myself even in my dreams. I subconsciously stopped when the most critical step came. You are worthy of being me, Jiang Ning. Even in a dream, you are still rational."
"Additional: What's even more embarrassing is that I ran into Chen Yuan during an open class, but I didn't even dare to look at him. If people knew that Mr. Jiang, who is a role model for teachers, was like this..."
……
"December 19, cloudy to overcast"
"I got up early and made a hearty breakfast"
"The student union held a meeting, and I was there to arrange tasks. A lot of students were there, including Chen Yuan. He was dressed quite handsomely, and he was standing eight feet away from that Liu Tingyue. He looked inexplicably happy..."
"During the meeting, Chen Yuan kept staring at me. He probably noticed the change in my clothing and even winked at me."
“Really? Is this considered flirting? It’s too bold to do it in front of so many people. What if someone finds out…”
"But it seemed like my heart skipped a beat at that time."
"Overall a perfect day"
……
Fourth day.
Jiang Ning woke up in the morning and suddenly realized.
Wait? Why are all the diaries about Chen Yuan?
