Just Sheng Zeyang alone was enough for him to befriend with all his heart and soul.
Not to mention Lv Xuan, for whom money wasn’t hard to come by for people like them. Even Sheng Zeyang had to respect Lv Xuan’s decisions.
The two had known each other since high school and always had a good relationship.
Zhang Xiaofan only got to know Lv Xuan through the fun-loving Sheng Zeyang. They would occasionally hang out and handle some tasks together.
The two had their own circle, but they couldn’t always just stick to their small group. At seventeen or eighteen, it was the age for having fun.
Often at this time, Zhang Xiaofan’s role became apparent.
Finding places and people for them and playing along.
The three of them walked towards the elevator, already a few students had taken it up. So, they stood there, chatting while waiting.
While speaking, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly saw Jiang Nian coming from afar.
Instinctively gritting his teeth, he wished to repay the humiliation from that day immediately. But thinking of the other’s prowess, he calmed down.
He thought of the "Principle of the Happy Retreat," telling himself he had everything. Jiang Nian was just a poor guy, not worth his own level.
A person doesn’t fight with a wild dog.
So, he backed down with a sense of superiority.
However, this change in his demeanor was caught by the observant Lv Xuan. She turned to look at Jiang Nian with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
The young man walked briskly through the corridor, his back straight. His facial contours clear, eyebrows slightly lowered, eyes slightly elongated.
His gaze swept over the three of them lightly, his pupils very dark. Even if it just glanced over, it still felt like being watched.
Good-looking indeed, but seemed a bit familiar.
So, taking advantage of the elevator waiting time.
Lv Xuan asked, "Do you know that person?"
Zhang Xiaofan was flattered; Lv Xuan rarely communicated directly with him. At most, giving simple responses, let alone initiating questions.
"Yes, I know him. His name is Jiang Nian. He used to be in the parallel science class, just got promoted to the third Olympic competition class recently."
"He’s quite arrogant and also rather violent. Not a good character, it’s like he’s mentally unstable, hard to get along with."
Listening to Zhang Xiaofan’s highly subjective, even somewhat extreme evaluation.
Lv Xuan’s eyelids involuntarily twitched, being a person of her own opinions. She could tell that the two weren’t on good terms, and that Zhang Xiaofan was quite self-important.
Bad character, hard to get along with.
People always understand themselves the best, can’t describe something unseen. Since Zhang Xiaofan spoke this way, Jiang Nian most likely had the upper hand over him.
This surprised Lv Xuan a bit, knowing somewhat about Zhang Xiaofan’s private conduct. She had heard he was rather domineering.
Yet the refined young man who just passed by could make Zhang Xiaofan give... such an evaluation.
"You said he’s in the third science Olympic competition class?" Sheng Zeyang raised an eyebrow, looking a bit strange, "Are you sure?"
"Yes, I’m sure." Zhang Xiaofan was puzzled but dared not ask more.
Lv Xuan glanced at Sheng Zeyang, noticing his odd expression. Initially puzzled, a few seconds later she suddenly remembered.
Wasn’t that someone in the third class?
The thought of Li Qingrong completely flattened the little bit of pride in Lv Xuan’s heart. No place for arrogance, crushed in all aspects.
She had heard a bit about the ups and downs of the Li Family over the years, naturally knowing a little of Li Qingrong’s past incidents.
The greatest incident was almost being defined by a certain conflict.
What exactly happened, she had only heard some gossip carelessly. So many years had passed, she had long forgotten.
She turned to look elsewhere, deciding to ask her uncle about it later.
"Hey, Jiang Nian, slow down!" Yu Zhiyi ran past from the elevator area, bringing a touch of charming flair.
Zhang Xiaofan was stunned, mechanically turned his head to look at Yu Zhiyi, who had already passed by. His eyes widening at her back.
No, how does Jiang Nian know... such... such a girl.
He spent a moment speechless as if his brain was eaten by zombies. Could they be a couple? It didn’t seem like it.
Obviously, those two girls at the night market last time were prettier, but if one had to choose. Then speaking of faces...
Zhang Xiaofan was still in a brainstorming mode, his mindset shifting from resentment to anger.
Looking good is so great?
According to the principle of the happy retreat, he should be the happier one. Richer, more... damn it!
Compared to Zhang Xiaofan whose eyes reddened with jealousy, Sheng Zeyang was momentarily absent-minded before smiling with interest.
Lv Xuan felt nothing, blinked, her expression returning to calmness.
"Why are you walking so fast?" Yu Zhiyi asked.
"Looking for someone," Jiang Nian replied honestly.
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhiyi realized he had an appointment with someone. Her eyes widened, looking at him incredulously.
"Are you being serious?"
"Everyone else in the same class sits together, making it convenient for meetings. And you’re telling me I’ll have to stay alone later?"
"Go to hell, you ungrateful wolf!" Yu Zhiyi burst with anger, couldn’t help but push him, then went off to find someone to pair up with.
Jiang Nian didn’t feel a thing.
About to "go on a date," why was Yu Zhiyi showing off and jumping around here?
The administrative building, up to the sixth floor.
Jiang Nian walked directly into the large conference room, squinting slightly at the snow-white light, adapted after a few seconds.
He searched the conference room for a while and found Song Xiyun in a corner by the window. She was sitting alone in the middle-rear area, with a boy sitting beside her.
Jiang Nian’s eyelid twitched slightly, and he walked straight over.
"So this is where you are."
