From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables

Chapter 628: 332 Silk Preparations_2

A group of people started bantering about the school beauty and the school hunk’s gossip.

Hu Guo’er chased after, losing sight of Jiang Jinchen, and stomped her foot in annoyance.

Jiang Jinchen returned to the dormitory, where his roommates were showing off his ticket, and Charles Gao was gaming with his headphones on.

Jiang Jinchen walked over and placed the packed lunch on Charles’ desk.

“Thanks,” Charles said without looking up.

“Jiang, this took me herculean effort to obtain. Tomorrow’s lecture is on everyone’s radar. If it wasn’t for my ambiguous relationship with the older sister from the news department, this ticket would’ve long been swiped by others. How are you going to thank me?”

Another roommate was trimming his nose hair. He was a pretty lad with some feminine features who chuckled and said, “At the very least, you should do a month’s worth of sock washing. Socks washed by the school hunk are sure to smell fragrant.”

Charles removed his earphones just in time to hear this, and promptly kicked over, “Zhou Qin, enough, making Jiang wash socks, what a thought.”

“Brother Charles, why did you kick me? Ming Jing is every guy’s ultimate fantasy. Can you say that you don’t have some thought about it?”

Charles took a deep breath, “That was before.”

It’s important for people to know their own worth.

If Jiang Jinchen can’t get it, why should he stir the pot?

Jiang Jinchen quietly pulled a chair to sit down, took a book from the shelf, bowed down, and started reading.

The others looked at each other. Li Jun waved the ticket in his hand and whispered, “What happened?”

Charles gave them a glance, “How would I know?”

With his back turned, Charles looked somewhat worried. He wasn’t stupid. Ever since Ming Jing was attacked with sulfuric acid at the last press conference, Jiang Jinchen had been acting off.

What exactly is that guy hiding from him?

Zhou Qin leaned over and whispered in Li Jun’s ear, “Aren’t both of them from Shengde High School?”

Li Jun nodded.

Shengde High School was very famous in Jiangzhou.

“Ming Jing is also a student at Shengde High School, isn’t she?”

Li Jun nodded, a fact almost everyone knew.

Thinking of something, Li Jun suddenly raised his head. The two looked at each other, and in each other’s eyes, they saw the same understanding.

So, they were old flames.

——

The sky was gloomy from early morning, with a layer of mist pervading the air, as if in an imaginary land.

Coming out of the dining hall after breakfast, sure enough, it started raining heavily.

Zhou Qin frustratedly touched his hair styled with hair wax, “I hate rainy days the most. My carefully styled hairdo will be ruined again. Didn’t even grab an umbrella…”

Jiang Jinchen wordlessly took out an umbrella from his coat pocket.

Zhou Qin’s eyes shone, “Preparation is the key, Jiang, you’re awesome.”

“I reminded you all when leaving, but nobody heeded my words.” Jiang Jinchen said, his voice cold.

Charles touched his nose awkwardly, “The lecture doesn’t start until ten, we still have time, let’s go to the library to wait a bit.”

Jiang Jinchen, with his umbrella in hand, walked alone into the rain.

Zhou Qin stomped on the spot, wanting to catch up but not daring to.

Living under the same roof, besides Charles, he and Li Jun were somewhat scared of Jiang Jinchen on a regular basis. They couldn’t explain why, but this young man, younger than them, had an intimidating aura about him.

Charles removed his jacket to hold over his head, “Let’s go. It might rain harder later.”

The library was connected to the main hall. In the early morning, it was already packed; it seemed they all came for the lecture.

Charles patted away the raindrops on his clothes. He looked miserable compared to Jiang Jinchen beside him who was calmly closing his umbrella, stuffing it in the bag, and putting it back into his pocket. His hair was not messed up at all, and he perfectly nailed the cool, handsome-man attitude.

“Charles, did you also come for the lecture?” Charles looked up and saw an acquaintance, Li Qingyao.

There were two other girls with Li Qingyao, probably her roommates, who stealthily glanced at him and Jiang Jinchen, their eyes excited and nervous.

Charles smiled and said, “Yeah, we came too late, and there are no seats left in the library.”

Li Qingyao teased, “You and Jiang Jinchen go in, lots of people will give up their seats to you.”

From Li Qingyao’s tone, it seemed that she was quite familiar with Charles and Jiang Jinchen.

Not only were Li Qingyao’s two roommates shocked, but Zhou Qin and Li Jun were also stunned.

Jiang Jinchen was the school hunk, so his popularity didn’t need to be mentioned, but Li Qingyao was also the department flower of the news department. The news department was always the place with the most beauties in the entire school. Since entering the school, Li Qingyao had been sitting on the throne of the news department flower, with numerous fans. However, she was quite low-key herself.
