Divorce Revenge System: Knowing the Future in Advance-Chapter 904 - 664: Fanning the Flames

Jiang Nian heard Li Lanying's complaint and treated it like the sound of wind passing by his ears.

"Eat, eat."

He may not excel at many things, but when it comes to muddling through, he is somewhat accomplished, if not an expert. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Li Qingrong silently picked up a dish for Jiang Nian with her chopsticks.

"Hmm."

"Thank you, Qingqing." Jiang Nian followed suit, picking up a dish for Li Qingrong, completely ignoring the lonely old woman at the table.

Li Lanying: "..."

She felt her blood pressure rising, speechless at the two of them. Were they teaming up to annoy her?

As people age, they start to envy the young more and more.

Even small matters can bring joy for half a day. At their age, everything looks hopeful.

"How nice, someone helps you pick up food."

Jiang Nian paused upon hearing this, showing a trace of hesitation, then lowered his voice to ask.

"Should I ask the waiter...?"

"Get lost!" Li Lanying was furious.

It's like killing someone's spirit!

Damn thing!

Li Qingrong smiled gently, tilting her head with a slight curve at the corner of her mouth.

"Eat."

"Oh, oh, okay." Jiang Nian thought to himself that the class monitor was really learning from others, but agreed nonetheless, "Do you want some water?"

Li Qingrong shook her head, "No need."

Across the table, Li Lanying watched the pair acting like a husband and wife, gritting her teeth in anger.

In a fit of rage, she ate another bowl of rice.

One hour later, in the backseat of the car.

"Ugh, so full." Li Lanying lay in the backseat, touching her stomach, "Feels like I'm pregnant."

Jiang Nian was driving, and the three were on their way back to Zhen Nan.

He couldn't help but feel speechless hearing this.

But given his position, some jokes can't be made, so he chose to remain silent, pretending he didn't hear.

The city lights were starting to rise.

Li Lanying looked out the window as the dim light shadows cast a fan-shaped halo on her face, hazy and indistinct.

The engine's hum was gentle, hardly noticeable.

She propped her chin, seemingly lost in thought, before slowly focusing, "Did you take the whole evening off?"

"Yeah." Li Qingrong nodded.

Jiang Nian couldn't hold back and spoke while steering the car.

"I need to go back."

Upon hearing this, Li Lanying was somewhat surprised.

"Go back for what?"

"Study physics."

Li Lanying was speechless, wondering if this person was trying to impress her?

But why did he specifically mention physics? Perhaps he excels in physics, a royal subject of science and engineering?

That's quite a show-off.

"Then you'll have to work hard," she said.

"Yeah, getting up early and staying late every day." Jiang Nian steered firmly, "I lack the talent, and it's making me quite worn out."

"Oh, oh." Li Lanying was puzzled, thinking he was quite diligent, "Hang in there, it's going to be over after the exams."

Li Qingrong barely noticeable smiled at this.

Jiang Nian was indifferent, his complaining purely an impromptu performance, just in case he didn't score 680, at least he could gain some sympathy.

Whether or not there's any benefit, one can always give it a shot.

Throughout the journey, Li Lanying kept observing Jiang Nian. She couldn't quite discern the depth of their relationship.

Nonetheless, she was happy to see things progress.

As for Jiang Nian, Li Lanying couldn't judge him accurately. But overall, he was composed, neither servile nor overbearing.

Minor events trigger bigger changes.

Some people might appear ordinary at first. Who knows what the future holds?

Qingqing is too reserved. At this rate, she's likely to become a recluse.

Initially, Li Lanying planned to cancel all her work and stay in Zhen Nan for a year to accompany Li Qingrong during her college entrance exams.

She would also help her with school choices and introduce her to some people.

Now it seems, there's no need for interference.

If Jiang Nian needs assistance in the future, given Qingqing's connection, it wouldn't be impossible to lend a hand.

"How long until we're home?" Li Lanying asked.

Jiang Nian glanced at the backseat and replied.

"Ten minutes."

"Oh."

During a red light stop.

Jiang Nian, bored, glanced at the classy and mature Li Lanying in the rearview mirror, letting his thoughts wander.

The class monitor's family is complicated, not easy to inquire about.

He's not a schemer, purely motivated by appearance, and thus careless.

The car entered Zhen Nan, driving through the streets for a while.

He stopped to buy some fruit, then drove directly into Jing Garden, the underground parking lot was quite spacious.

With a beep, he avoided an incoming car.

Jiang Nian turned to Li Qingrong and the sophisticated woman in the back.

"I won't be going up later; rushing back to study. We'll part ways here."

After he finished speaking, Li Qingrong glanced at him.

"The luggage is too heavy."

"Huh?"

"My sister's not strong enough to lift it."

Upon hearing that, Li Lanying was puzzled. Was she inherently weak, like the famous Li Daiyu known for her frailty?

"Indeed, I'm not strong."

"But didn't you say you work out often?" Jiang Nian said, "And you mentioned you could punch Zhen Guanxi to death?"

"The car's moving," Li Qingrong reminded.

"Oh, oh." Jiang Nian continued driving, found a spot, and parked, "Then I'll carry it."

.....

In the classroom, the lights were brightly lit.

Zhang Ningzhi appeared distracted, glancing at the empty seat beside her, frowning slightly.

Where did they go?

She furtively took out her phone from her bag, took a quick look, and found Jiang Nian had indeed messaged her.

"Picking someone up?"

Jiang Nian also sent another message, but it was too convoluted. She was timid, always feeling the teacher was watching her.

So she only took a cursory look.

After the first period, Yao Beibei came over with her book.

"Where's Jiang Nian?"

"No idea." Li Hua made a shooting gesture from the back row, "Maybe Old Liu called him away."

He was absolutely fabricating things, merely wanting to avoid involvement.

"Hey, did you..." Yao Beibei started to ask but saw Li Hua, that idiot, leaving the room pretending to shoot hoops.
