Divorce Revenge System: Knowing the Future in Advance-Chapter 374 - 328: Unexpected, Yet Reasonable
Chapter 374: Chapter 328: Unexpected, Yet Reasonable
The surface of the wooden box was a bit faded, and the antique lock was somewhat rusty.
She held the box gently and blew away the dust on the surface.
"Cough, cough, cough!!!"
"These dramas are misleading, got dust in my eyes!"
After a bit of chaos, Lv Xuan placed the vintage little wooden box on the floor. She stared at it for a while, her gaze slightly nostalgic.
She thought for a moment, left the room, and returned with a hammer and screwdriver in hand.
With a click in the room, the lock dropped in response.
The initial idea was to seal away youthful memories, the key had long been thrown into the river to feed the fish. In hindsight, it was adorably silly.
But being silly has its own advantages.
The human brain, instinctively, will periodically clear its memory. A diary is like a manual secondary brain, recording fragmented memories.
Thankfully, she had the same love for writing diaries as Old Jiang back then.
Lv Xuan picked and chose from the box, and pulled out one thick diary. Opening it, the first sentence was...
"Hello there, many years later, to the grown-up me."
"The current me must be very happy, right?"
In an instant, Lv Xuan suddenly felt a bit defenseless, feeling as if her younger self was spying on her from outside the door.
Happiness isn’t that easy to achieve.
She shook her head, not wanting to think about all those random things.
Soon, Lv Xuan successfully found what she wanted from the diary. Gossip casually mentioned by others was written by her as trivial matters in the diary.
"I heard someone say that there was a fight over there by the abandoned mall. Seems like because someone’s girlfriend got snatched away, the fight was intense."
"At least a hundred people surrounded them, everyone holding a [graphic]."
Seeing this, Lv Xuan couldn’t help but laugh.
Even as a child, she had a bit of an abstract talent, so why would she censor the diary she wrote for herself?
More importantly, the mention of one hundred people was clearly an exaggerated rumor, probably just a few people, with most being onlookers.
She continued reading, skipping through a sudden flashback.
"I heard the fight went all the way to the point where a lot of wailing came. Afterward, they didn’t allow anyone to watch, and all were caught."
"Actually, I’m a bit envious of that girl, after all, someone was willing to..."
With a click, Lv Xuan closed the diary.
She rubbed her forehead, reflecting that her thinking back then needed improvement. How could she find such things cool?
For the next half hour or so, she was almost flipping through other diaries.
Until a relatively reasonable thread appeared in her mind, and she got up, carrying her clothes into the en-suite bathroom for a shower.
Woosh, that was when the Li Family left Zhen Nan, right?
No, to be precise, only a branch family left. They gave up the business and the power they had cultivated for years.
Just like that, they moved to the coast; now, by a twist of fate, they have developed again.
The Li Family wasn’t the only unlucky family; others have also been targeted, resulting in some leaving and some failing.
But for some reason, Li Qingrong was left behind.
Even a broken ship still has three thousand nails, and her normal school life wasn’t much affected. Maybe someone bullied her, and then...a fight broke out.
Because of her family’s background, Lv Xuan was sensitive to external information, learning a lot through exposure.
And because of this, during the supposed rebellious teenage years, seeing too much, hearing too much, and thinking too much, made her increasingly silent.
Her character became introverted, yet her heart was active.
After a shower, she came out with a thin mist around her.
With a click, she closed the bathroom door. After returning each diary to its place, she stared at the wooden box for a while.
After thinking, she ultimately decided not to put the box back in place.
After turning off the lights.
Lv Xuan lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Every time she closed her eyes, the image of Jiang Nian turning back appeared in her mind.
His gaze was deep and heavy.
It’s not exactly love at first sight, just a curiosity about his past. And the past events, wanting to know some...
Like chasing an irresistible drama, feeling like she has ’shipped’ a couple.
As if adolescent fantasies found their prototype in the people around her, it seemed destiny was projected onto them.
A strong, goosebumps-inducing excitement mixed with an indomitable curiosity drove Lv Xuan.
Constantly approaching the story she deduced, wanting to know more...more information. That unknown, tense puzzle-solving process intoxicated her.
She stared at the ceiling in a daze, murmuring to herself.
"Tomorrow, I have to take a look at Class Three of the Science Olympic competition."
....
In the middle of the night.
Jiang Nian opened his eyes and took a careful look at the last big question on the math test paper.
After solving two sub-questions, he breathed a sigh of relief, but after glancing at the third question, he was discouraged. He tossed the pen and leaned back on the chair.
Click, he stretched his neck, letting out a long breath.
Time has to be squeezed in.
In a single person’s room, late at night. Usually, just a simple software can make it exciting, but what about test papers?
Firm, it’s like speaking of the heart.
He was wearing clothes, but his toes inevitably stiffened. Technically, he should upgrade his gear, but upon thinking again.
He won’t be staying up late anymore, so why buy a foot warmer?
Thinking this, he still turned on the phone, preparing to place an order. Occasionally glancing at WeChat notifications, Xu Qianqian had sent a picture.
"My feet aren’t cold, [picture], bought a foot warmer, envious?"
The picture seemed to be taken from under the blanket, showing below the pajama pants and a pair of nice-looking feet, pressed against a foot warmer.
In the middle of the night, it gave him some thoughts.
Speaking of the heart again.
He typed a reply, "Won’t it give you athlete’s foot?"
After half a minute with no reply, Jiang Nian guessed Xu Qianqian probably fell asleep, so he too turned over and went to bed.
The next morning.
Jiang Nian woke up, instinctively reached for his phone, and opened his eyes groggily.
Besides seeing some daily messages, he also saw Xu Qianqian’s reply, which was rather brief.
"One foot on your face!"
After reading it, he couldn’t bring himself to be angry and typed back asking.
"When you step, could you wear thinner socks?"
Swoosh, Xu Qianqian replied instantly.
"Step with shoes on!"
Jiang Nian got up to wash up while typing to inquire.
"That might hurt a bit. (Dragon Picture)"
Xu Qianqian: "(Fist)!"
"Fist full of love? Your feelings are that deep for me?" Jiang Nian packed his things, getting ready to grab his bag and head out for school.
"It’s to punch you!" Xu Qianqian replied, followed by a terminating emoji, "Alright, I’m going to start memorizing now."
At this time, Jiang Nian was also on his way to school.
The morning chill hit, making him quicken his pace.
In the classroom.
Jiang Nian had just stepped into the classroom when he glanced over and saw two rare visitors. Yang Qiming and Huang Caicai were having breakfast in their seats.
Each had a bowl of "Three Fresh" rice noodles, filled with pig head, pig liver, and chicken intestines, sprinkled with green onions, pure meat three fresh noodles.
Luckily, Jiang Nian had eaten on the way, otherwise entering the classroom on an empty stomach and smelling this aroma would have disoriented him, making him faint from hunger.
"Smells good, where did you get these noodles?" Yin Qidong curiously asked as he leaned forward, "How much? I’ll buy one tomorrow."
"Six bucks, the new breakfast place at the West Gate," Huang Caicai laughed, "There are lots of people there, you have to go early."
Yin Qidong swallowed, "Too bad I’ve already eaten, no time to line up and buy one now."
Yang Qiming, hearing this, showed a bit of pride.
"If you go now, there might still be a chance, I got up early on purpose."
"Dude, let me have a bite." Yin Qidong dropped the pretense.
"Hey, damn you!"
Jiang Nian took his eyes off them, inwardly deciding to try the new spot at the West Gate tomorrow—this aroma was enticing.
"You’ve been getting up early these days?" Huang Fang asked.
"Yeah, so sleepy," Jiang Nian replied honestly.
Soon, group members gradually arrived at the classroom. Sunlight extended little by little into the room.
"Morning."
"Morning," Zhang Ningzhi greeted energetically, removing the scarf from her neck, "By the way, have you had breakfast?"
"What’s up?" Jiang Nian raised an eyebrow, "Got something to eat?"
"Nope, just asking," Zhang Ningzhi said, taking out a cream-filled bread right in front of him.
"Share some with me," Jiang Nian replied directly.
Hearing this, Zhang Ningzhi showed a "bad woman" smile.
"Do you...really want it?"
Jiang Nian was stunned, thinking, "Darn it." Is "bad woman" a natural skill for girls? Automatically unlocked with age?
"Actually, I don’t really want it."
You’re quite a performer, Zhizhi.
"Oh, this bread is really good," Zhang Ningzhi murmured, "I heard someone recommend it, saying it melts in your mouth."
"Give me a bite, please," Jiang Nian pleaded instantly.
Today’s goal was to successfully eat the bread; failing to eat it today would be a huge failure!
"Hehe, since you insist, I have no choice then." Zhang Ningzhi split the bread in two, handing him the bigger half.
"Is this your breakfast?" Jiang Nian asked.
"I can’t eat that much; I’m on a diet," Zhang Ningzhi waved her hand, "Anyway, I bought extra on purpose..."
As she spoke, her voice grew so soft it was almost inaudible.
After the morning self-study.
Two consecutive Chinese classes left those who didn’t like Chinese class feeling exhilarated. Already tired from waking up early, they slept for two hours straight.
What about the homeroom teacher’s class? Still sleeping!
During the large break, sunlight pierced into the classroom through the windows.
The PA system blared noisy running music, but Jiang Nian didn’t intend to get up. Running was a complete waste of time, better just to excuse himself.
Just say...too much Lu Duo last night, legs are weak today, can’t run.
This excuse is generally avoided by guys, fearing it’d come true if used enough. Getting called "Small Head Bro" when one looks up.
One ’Small Head Bro’ on the left, one ’Lu Yun Bro’ on the right.
Over time, you gradually got used to the nickname. Until in the college entrance exam, you couldn’t help but write it down in the name column...
Lu Yun!
But really, what good kid’s name is Lu Yun!
Jiang Nian wasn’t afraid; he had brought home championship titles in two sports events. Still the long-distance run! The prestige of long-distance running was off the charts.
Using some bizarre excuse to ask for leave would definitely get instant approval.
Transforming Marin, today’s new identity has been decided as you!
At this moment, a girl’s silhouette flitted by the doorway.
Lv Xuan took advantage of the gap during the running exercise, mingling from the fifth-floor to the fourth-floor corridor. Moving through the science floor, she nervously approached the entrance of Class Three.
She only glanced inside briefly, yet immediately saw Jiang Nian, who was bent over writing exercises.
Equally naturally, she also noticed Li Qingrong sitting in the seat behind Jiang Nian. With her cool demeanor, she seemed unapproachable.
However, when she lifted her head, and her gaze fell on Jiang Nian, there seemed to be a spark of spiritual energy in her eyes, making her seem much more lively.
Lv Xuan caught this scene, her heart couldn’t help but skip a few beats.
Simultaneously, her intel database was updated once more.
So, their relationship has become so good now, but she wasn’t sure if everything was as she predicted.
Lv Xuan stood at the classroom door for a while, then turned away only to find Jiang Nian had left, whereas Li Qingrong exited the classroom with other girls.
This puzzled her quite a bit, leaving her confused.
Not dating?
Not together at this point?
Oh, got it, avoiding suspicion?
Lv Xuan followed Li Qingrong along the way, yet didn’t see Jiang Nian appear. It seemed he was still in the classroom, showing no intention to come down.
She realized then, perhaps they really weren’t dating.
Could it be that guy had quit indulging?
How could he bear it in this situation?
