Divorce Revenge System: Knowing the Future in Advance-Chapter 327 - 289: The Timeless Ticket to Life
Chapter 327: Chapter 289: The Timeless Ticket to Life
"Boss, let’s eat here."
"Oh no, it’s not good."
"It’s fine, it’s fine."
Jiang Nian hasn’t spent a dime on driving practice yet and already scored a free meal.
Tian Yongsheng was actually quite happy.
When it comes to driving lessons, there can’t be much emotional value to offer the boss. Treating the boss to a meal isn’t bad either, at least it’s providing a service.
This round was a win-win.
After the meal, Tian Yongsheng drove Jiang Nian back, casually making small talk along the way.
"There are a lot of people buying cars now, and many are learning to drive."
Jiang Nian sat in the passenger seat, watching the peaceful afternoon sun outside the window.
"Isn’t that great?"
"Yeah, it’s great." Tian Yongsheng remarked, "I heard that some villages down in the townships even compete over which village has more cars."
"There’s nothing wrong with showing off wealth, it’s just that maintaining a car is expensive now." Jiang Nian rubbed his neck, "In the future, if I don’t have much money, I’ll just buy a second-hand one."
"Boss knows how to live." Tian Yongsheng started with a compliment, but he didn’t really take Jiang Nian’s words seriously, thinking it was just talk from a second-generation rich kid.
Can’t afford a car?
With those connections, even if you can’t afford a car, someone will give you one to drive.
Ten minutes later.
"We’re heading to the main gate, right?" Jiang Nian asked.
"Uh..."
"The main gate’s already closed at this hour, go to the street at the back instead, I’ll enter through the small northern gate." Jiang Nian pointed to the intersection ahead.
"Turn there, go straight to the end and take a right."
Tian Yongsheng had no objection and turned the steering wheel.
"Got it."
The car passed through a shaded section, heading towards the North Gate.
Jiang Nian originally planned to get out at the intersection, but Tian Yongsheng enthusiastically drove into the alley and finally stopped a short distance from the North Gate.
Bang! Bang!
Both got out of the car, and Tian Yongsheng wanted to call for someone at the gate.
Jiang Nian squinted, almost startled, and raised his hand to stop him.
"Hey, hey, no need to do that, I’ll take another gate."
Tian Yongsheng glanced around, confused, as all he saw nearby was a long high wall.
Are there other gates around here besides this iron one?
"Boss, you sure?"
"Yeah, I’m sure." Jiang Nian was already walking along the wall in another direction, waving back at Old Tian, "Thanks, you can go back now."
Hearing this, Tian Yongsheng didn’t ask more; after all, he’d done his part.
With a bang, he sat back in the driver’s seat without leaving immediately. He just rolled down the window, lit a cigarette, and started smoking inside the car.
Service must be comprehensive; successful people pay attention to details.
What if the boss comes back later?
He smoked a couple of puffs, turning his head to watch Jiang Nian’s direction as he left.
Suddenly, he caught sight of Jiang Nian walking calmly and then suddenly jumping onto a shared bicycle leaning by the wall. With a push, he agilely flipped over the wall.
"Cough, cough, cough!!!"
Tian Yongsheng was stunned, almost choking on the smoke.
"The boss is really... something else."
...
By the time Jiang Nian flipped into the school, the lunch break had already begun.
The dormitory building in the North District was locked, and the warden wouldn’t open the door before 1:40.
Therefore, there was almost no one on the campus road.
He moved unobstructed through the North District and reached the senior year building smoothly.
In the afternoon, the sun had already moved past the building. It cast a clear demarcation line between light and shadow on the concrete ground at the back of the senior year building.
Jiang Nian stepped on the line and entered the shaded area.
He looked up towards the building and saw a few people holding books on the fourth and fifth-floor corridors, writing down notes.
Upstairs, the classroom was also quiet.
At the cleaning corner of the room.
Wang Yuhe, her hair down, buried her head in a pile of books doing homework.
Chen Yunyun was sprawled asleep by the window, sunlight lingering on her spot. Her freshly washed hair was fluffy, tanning in the sunlight.
Jiang Nian quietly approached, but before he got close.
Wang Yuhe suddenly looked up, spotted him first, and mouthed a word silently.
"What?"
Jiang Nian shook his head and handed over two boxes of milk beverages he was carrying to the "elementary student". Then he pointed at Wang Yuhe and then at the sleeping Chen Yunyun.
"OK? (gesturing)"
Wang Yuhe was speechless and raised her pinky finger.
"Tsk (just guessing)."
After finishing, Jiang Nian quietly left.
Thanks to Li Hua’s generosity, there was an abundance of drinks this week, they couldn’t finish them all. Last time he only bought drinks for his group, this time he seized the chance to treat the two girls too.
Considering he had often taken advantage of their snacks before, returning the favor was warranted.
...
Chen Yunyun woke up groggy in the latter half of the lunch break, and upon opening her eyes, she saw the drink beside her desk.
She was a little stunned, then got up and turned to look at Wang Yuhe, who was in the back row.
Wang Yuhe was already lying down asleep, and there was also a drink beside her table. However, Chen Yunyun was sure that Wang Yuhe hadn’t bought this at noon.
So, she turned her gaze to the back-door side of the classroom where Jiang Nian was lying sprawled asleep too.
Alright then...
After the break, when Jiang Nian woke up, he saw Zhang Ningzhi sitting at her desk doing problems.
Having taken off for half a noon, he felt like someone who had escaped from the walls of St. Maria. Half a day was as tiring as a whole day, but coming back to school was still the same routine.
He yawned, stood up, intending to go to the bathroom, and casually asked.
"When did you get here?"
Zhang Ningzhi turned her head, thought for a moment, and said earnestly.
"When you were sleeping."
Jiang Nian: "..."
Li Hua pushed the back door open, and upon seeing Jiang Nian, instantly made a gesture as if to hug him.
"Got good news for you, I’m gonna have a son."
"Get lost, where’s today’s losing drink?" Jiang Nian held out his hand.
"Chi Shi it, no chemistry at all." Li Hua said with waning interest and sat down, "It’s in your drawer, bought during P.E. class at noon."
"By the way, why did you take leave?"
Li Hua also knew about Jiang Nian’s driving lessons. After all, they shared the desk, and he watched him scroll through the first exam topics on his phone, but he didn’t believe he had actually gone for practice.
In his understanding, learning to drive would take at least a month at the fastest.
"Why do you care so much?" Jiang Nian didn’t explain and left to use the restroom.
On the way, he bumped into the class president and casually greeted.
"Class rep."
"Hmm."
The afternoon classes were just as boring and dull.
The upside was that the first class was Chinese. Jiang Nian took a sip from the thermos cup. His gaze drifted, noticing Zhizhi listening diligently to the lecture.
Somehow, their eyes met.
Jiang Nian had a strange feeling, as if she seemed a bit "gloomy".
A misconception?
He turned away, continuing his tactical drinking.
Zhang Ningzhi withdrew her gaze and puffed up her cheeks. Privately thinking, "drink, drink, drink, always drinking water, not being present during noon P.E. class, difficult to ask about it."
The confidence brought by being desk mates wasn’t enough for her to pry too deeply into private matters.
Unless the other party gives her a reason, like an unused ticket. Holding it in hand allows her to navigate freely in his world.
Jiang Nian’s tactical third sip had him feeling bloated, so he tilted his shoulder slightly.
"What’s up?"
With the ticket already presented, Zhang Ningzhi pursed her lips to ask softly.
"What did you do at noon?"
"Hmm... practiced driving for two hours, but won’t need to go again this week." Jiang Nian truthfully informed, omitting the part about Qianbao.
After all, they had already agreed to keep things secret.
No one wanted to...
"Oh." Zhang Ningzhi nodded.
Her emotions had not completely been released; there was room left.
"Later, ate a meal at the driving school, then... came back for a nap." Jiang Nian thought there wasn’t much more to say; hopping the wall wasn’t exactly honorable.
"By the way, the math teacher asked where you were going at noon." Zhang Ningzhi whispered, her patience returning.
Jiang Nian’s eyelid twitched, "What did you say?"
"It wasn’t me, it was the group leader." Zhang Ningzhi hesitated, "He said... he said you went for surgery, then the math teacher didn’t ask further."
Jiang Nian: "..."
Surgery, guys would understand.
Li Hua, you supermarket big sword seed!
"Oh, right, the math teacher also assigned homework." Zhang Ningzhi’s mood clearly had improved, it appears a bit of honesty could make her happy.
"Where?"
"In the big review book, I marked it for you, with checks." Zhang Ningzhi quietly sought credit, lifting her chin slightly.
"No need for all that, I’ll just copy yours."
Zhang Ningzhi: "..."
Suddenly, Lao Liu at the podium coughed, interrupting the lecture.
"You like talking so much, do you want to come up and teach?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ningzhi cowered like a startled fawn. Quickly ducking back into her seat, her ears turning red, she didn’t dare look up.
Jiang Nian was unfazed, scratching his face.
Teach up there?
Sure, let’s start with the night xx won the championship.
Huh? Isn’t he...
Dark horse keeps quiet!
After class, Li Hua got a sharp elbow from Jiang Nian to his kidney area.
"Ah! Damn!!"
Li Hua jumped up, clutching his kidney area, staring in anger.
"Hey, what are you doing!"
"Stop pretending, cut the act." Jiang Nian pointed at him.
Li Hua immediately stopped whining, walked sideways out of the classroom to catch his breath.
"Chi Shi it."
The afternoon passed quickly; those tortured by two consecutive physics classes had already collapsed onto their desks for a nap. The small self-study was quieter than ever before.
Suddenly, someone sneaked over from the back row, slipping between Jiang Nian and Li Hua’s desks.
"Hey, did you know there’s going to be an adult ceremony this month?"
Jiang Nian lowered his head, looking at Lin Dong squatting in the back row.
"What adult ceremony?"
"What else, the senior year’s adult ceremony." Li Hua chimed in, familiar as if reciting a litany, "I remembered it all, one adult ceremony and a hundred-day pledge."
"You remember this well, but what’s the use if there’s no holiday." Jiang Nian was uninterested; his parents wouldn’t even come to the adult ceremony.
He suddenly realized that if the school indeed organized an adult ceremony, wouldn’t Zhang Ningzhi’s parents also come?
Clearly, Jiang Nian was a bit capable.
The kind who, with effort, aimed to stabilize above 600 points before the college entrance exam and attend a top-tier university, someone with potential for the future.
Yet, in front of Zhang Ningzhi’s parents, it’s a bit lacking.
Based on the revealed system information, he felt slightly reluctant to interact with Zhang Ningzhi’s parents regarding this matter. Last time during the parent-teacher meeting, having met her father, he could still joke around a bit.
But if her parents both showed up, no more joking around.
