Divorce Revenge System: Knowing the Future in Advance-Chapter 1104 - 762: Who Do You Want to Keep You Company? (Part 2)

"Asshole, I really shouldn't have played with you!"

Ma Guojun swore as he got up, ready to go to the bathroom, where he ran into the arriving Jiang Nian at the door.

"So slow?"

"Ran into Lin Dong and Liu Yang on the way, brought them along. Perfect for five players, straight into a five-man team."

"Where are they?"

"They went to buy drinks, they'll be here shortly." Jiang Nian said, renewing the fee for the five-person room.

Once everyone was there, it turned into four people cursing Li Hua.

"You bastard!"

"Get out of the jungle! You're so bad yet you're jungling."

"Join the team byd!"

"Lousy bastard!"

"Chi Shi!" Li Hua was somewhat dissatisfied, insisting on jungling himself, "Cover me for now."

In the blink of an eye, evening fell.

They were getting hungry after playing for so long and discussed leaving to eat someplace else.

As they exited, the five of them walked and talked loudly, almost blocking the road, forming a two-three formation.

"Damn, didn't win a single match all day."

Lin Dong ignored the big guy's complaints and casually asked, "When did you guys go to the internet cafe?"

"Last night."

"Whoa, that's amazing?"

"Piece of cake."

"No, I meant don't die next to me."

"Like hell, I'm full of energy." Li Hua hands in pockets, "But it does feel a bit chilly."

"He lied to you, we went home at midnight," Ma Guojun said, "But came back at noon."

Liu Yang gave a thumbs up, "Awesome."

"Hey, why isn't Jiang Nian saying anything?"

"Don't!" Lin Dong and Li Hua simultaneously stopped him, "Don't let him speak, or you'll regret it."

This reminded Jiang Nian, so he said, "I really envy you guys, no need to worry about being interrupted online."

"Chi Shi!"

"Shut up, you bastard!"

"So damn vicious, next time I'll bury you."

"The Yellow River has been elbowing humans for thousands of years; I have a project to elbow the Yellow River, want to join?"

Low-rise buildings on both sides reflected the dusk; few pedestrians on the road, with electric scooters passing under the telephone poles.

Actually, Jiang Nian wasn't really addicted, but when there's a group, he couldn't help but join in at the internet cafe.

After all, each game in a five-man queue is precious.

Jiang Nian found a BBQ skewer shop and ordered everything he could, almost habitually paying the bill directly.

Everyone was stunned, exclaiming how rich he was.

Li Hua swore on the way, eating skewers with greasy lips, "Damn, why are you so rich?"

"Am I?" Jiang Nian was a bit indifferent, "This doesn't count as being rich, just a BBQ skewer meal."

"Yeah, this bastard has tons of scholarships," Ma Guojun was annoyed, but had no choice.

When it comes to prizes, it was really hardcore.

"Damn, that's money easily spent and returned," Lin Dong was somewhat envious, thinking Jiang Nian spent money more lavishly than he did.

In fact, it was all a misunderstanding.

Just because this BBQ skewer meal meant almost nothing to Jiang Nian, he naturally didn't feel bad about it.

"Come on, drink, drink, drink!"

Went through three rounds of drinks, didn't drink alcohol. They were afraid Li Hua and the big guy might drink too much and die without notice.

After all the noise, Jiang Nian headed home alone.

At the crossroads, red lights flashed. Cars stopped on the zebra crossing, tail lights a bright red.

Jiang Nian suddenly remembered that back in middle school, he would come out of the dark internet cafe after an all-nighter.

It was freezing on the road.

Xu Qianqian would stand at the door, tossing him a packed breakfast. Jiang Nian usually ate it and slept until the afternoon.

He thought for a moment and called Xu Qianqian.

"Hello?"

"What!" Xu Qianqian's tone was feisty, "Talk fast, we need to finish our homework."

"Oh~~ which part are you working on?"

"None of your business!" Xu Qianqian was a bit speechless, "You're sneaking off to use the internet."

"Hungry."

"What?"

"Nothing," Jiang Nian changed the subject, "What would you like to drink? I'm at the snack shop."

"Didn't we buy drinks yesterday?" Xu Qianqian retorted.

"Oh, oh." Jiang Nian wasn't actually in a snack shop, just said a few words randomly, then prepared to hang up.

Suddenly, Xu Qianqian exclaimed.

"Wait."

"Hmm?"

"You haven't eaten yet?"

"Yep."

Xu Qianqian said, "Then... I'll make some porridge for you later, just come over. Eat before you head back."

"Alright." Jiang Nian hung up the phone, breathing a sigh of relief, glad he hadn't eaten too much earlier.

Most of the time was spent chatting gossip with Liu Yang and the others. He drank a lot of soda but it didn't really matter.

He was still uneasy, so decided to take a brisk walk around the small park until he was flushed with sweat.

.....

Knock, knock, knock, the sound of door knocks echoed.

Song Xiyun opened the door, the fragrance of century egg and lean pork porridge immediately filled the living room.

"Back?"

"Yeah."

Jiang Nian suddenly felt a bit embarrassed, feeling like a spoiled man, playing around then coming home to eat.

"Who made the porridge?"

"The two of us together."

"Oh, oh, no wonder." Jiang Nian casually teased, "I'm surprised she has such courage."

"Go to hell!" Xu Qianqian was furious, throwing a pillow over, "Again with the insults!"

"No, complimenting you." Jiang Nian caught the pillow, thinking they were already late for dinner, "Did you guys eat?" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"Not yet, waiting for you."

"Hmm."

Jiang Nian: "...."

Even worse, feeling a bit guilty.

Glad it wasn't going out to eat with girls; next time, no surprise, no blurting out hunger randomly.

"Let's eat, let's eat."

The three sat at the table, surprisingly in sync. Having spent time together, even silence didn't feel awkward.

"How many worksheets have you done?"

"Three."

"Huh?" Xu Qianqian stopped her spoon and looked at him, "You didn't go to the internet cafe?"

"Started writing in the morning."

The two girls paused briefly, somewhat speechless at him, "Such energy, you still went online in the afternoon?"

"Exactly, otherwise who would play with me?" Jiang Nian looked at them, feeling slightly amused.

Xu Qianqian glanced at him, "Who do you want to play with?"

Song Xiyun took a sip of porridge and added.

"We went out in the afternoon too, took a walk around Metallurgical Avenue, got back only after four."

Oops, misspoke.

If it were before, Jiang Nian might have panicked. But having lived here long, his courage had grown a lot.

At this moment, the solid foundation Tingzi provided came into play again, "It depends on one's gaming preferences."

"One likes cheating in games, the other's a pure esports fanatic. Playing with either of you is the worst loss for me."

"Tch! Who cares to play with you!"

"Exactly." Song Xiyun was also slightly dissatisfied; she wasn't that into games, just.....

Not gaming just meant it was the easiest past-time. Keeping oneself occupied without bothering anyone.

The next day.

On what was supposed to be nice weather, it suddenly began to drizzle. Going out became inconvenient, so the three stayed home for self-study.

The study group was back on.

Around one in the afternoon, Xu Qianqian was feeling a bit dizzy from carbon. Unable to resist the sleepiness, she lay on the sofa and fell asleep.

Song Xiyun held out a bit longer but soon fell asleep too.

Jiang Nian was in good form, completed two worksheets in succession. Started on the third sheet before taking a short break.

Rain drifted outside the balcony, curtains fluttered in the wind.

Jiang Nian got up, went to the kitchen, took a can of ice-cold Sprite back. Popped it open and took a sip, then sat back down.

The fizz burned his throat briefly, cold sensation cascading down into his stomach.

He instinctively turned to look, seeing Xu Qianqian and Song Xiyun each asleep on opposite sides, breathing steadily.

One spirited, the other delicate. Approaching May, both girls dressed lightly, covered with jackets.

Jiang Nian stared for a moment, glancing here and there. His gaze moved from one set of lips to the next.

Feeling a tickle in his heart.

A gust of wind blew in; a plastic piece on the balcony was suddenly lifted by the breeze, seemingly about to fall on the two girls.

He got up, ready to intercept.

With a crash, the noise startled both girls awake. Groggily opening their eyes, they looked at the standing Jiang Nian.

In the afternoon, slightly dimmed.
