Quick Wear: Reversing Life

Chapter 584 Real and Fake Gold (37)

Compared to Chen Jieran, who has a very good relationship with others, Jiang Qiuyao always keeps to himself. Except for the time when he is with his sister Jiang Suen, he is almost always alone.

Compared to other introverted students, Jiang Qiuyao seems to enjoy solitude. There is always an unknown mystery lingering around her, which makes Chen Jieran unable to help but get closer and explore.

Therefore, when Chen Jieran saw Jiang Qiuyao sitting alone on a bench basking in the sun, he subconsciously invited her to have coffee together.

Chen Jieran thought Jiang Qiuyao would not agree, but unexpectedly Jiang Qiuyao looked at him and agreed.

The two of them went to the campus supermarket together, which had a small coffee shop inside.

The heating was on in the supermarket, and Chen Jieran took off his down school uniform.

The aroma of coffee lingered between the two of them.

Soon two cups of hot coffee were ready, and Chen Jieran pushed one in front of Jiang Qiuyao.

He looked at Jiang Qiuyao. Even in a well-heated place, her face was cold and pale.

Jiang Qiuyao lowered his head and opened the lid of his coffee to cool it down, saying, "What are you looking at me for?"

Chen Jieran was not embarrassed by being caught. When he saw the coffee splashed on Jiang Qiuyao's hand, he naturally took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to her.

"Actually, I've always been curious."

"How did you improve your grades?"

Jiang Qiuyao looked at Chen Jieran with a subtle expression: "So you've been appearing in front of me so frequently recently just to get my study secrets."

Chen Jieran chuckled: "Then are you willing to tell me?"

Jiang Qiuyao looked at Chen Jieran, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the hot paper cup.

"I don't think you're someone who cares about academic performance."

Chen Jieran said: "Of course not, otherwise I wouldn't always be number one."

"I thought it was just a quirk of yours."

Chen Jieran's smile deepened: "You are so humorous."

Jiang Qiuyao shrugged: "There's no one else here, you don't have to pretend to smile."

Chen Jieran looked at Jiang Qiuyao and smiled, "It's not time to pretend now."

Jiang Qiuyao nodded: "I can see that, at least you don't smile like that to Lu Jinghe."

Chen Jieran looked into Jiang Qiuyao's eyes and smiled even more deeply: "We are friends now, right?"

"It's hard to say." Jiang Qiuyao said, "Unless you are willing to treat me to coffee more often in the future."

Chen Jieran chuckled: "Of course."

"But President Chen, are you still short of friends?" Jiang Qiuyao glanced up and down at the other's tall figure. "The president has many friends, so he shouldn't be short of me, right?"

Chen Jieran smiled slightly: "I don't have any friends."

He paused and added, "Before you."

"Lu Jinghe used to be my friend, but later..." Chen Jieran shrugged, "You know what happened."

Jiang Qiuyao changed his standing position and said, "I've always been curious. What did you do to make Lu Jinghe hate you so much?"

Chen Jieran thought for a moment and said, "It was probably when I was in fifth grade. The school organized a spring outing to the countryside."

Chen Jieran remembers it clearly: "We were walking on a country road, and there were many round sheep droppings on the road."

Jiang Qiuyao: "...Did you throw sheep feces at him?"

Chen Jieran said, "Of course not. Lu Jinghe asked me what it was, and I just joked that it was a chocolate ball."

Jiang Qiuyao: "...Don't tell me he ate it."

Chen Jieran smiled and said, "Of course not. But he was curious about why there were so many scattered chocolate balls on the ground, so he picked them up with his hands."

Jiang Qiuyao couldn't help but snort and laugh: "No wonder he is so hostile to you now."

Chen Jieran was helpless: "It's just a joke, isn't it?"

Jiang Qiuyao nodded, but given Lu Jinghe's pride, he would definitely regard this as a great humiliation.

Jiang Qiuyao drank a cup of coffee, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Looks like I can use this to make him laugh."

Chen Jieran asked, "Are you two familiar with each other?"

Jiang Qiuyao said, "Not really. Whether we say hello or not depends on our relationship and mood."

Chen Jieran looked into Jiang Qiuyao's eyes and asked, "What about me?"

Jiang Qiuyao tilted his head and smiled: "Well...we can drink coffee together and discuss our studies."

Chen Jieran nodded: "Very good, better than I thought."

Jiang Qiuyao asked back: "What are you imagining?"

Chen Jieran thought for a moment and said, "Maybe... after drinking coffee, we just became strangers."

Seeing Jiang Qiuyao laughing out loud, Chen Jieran also smiled.

Jiang Qiuyao felt that Chen Jieran was even more interesting than he had imagined. Their ways of thinking were very similar, and chatting with him was not boring at all.

...

After that coffee, Jiang Qiuyao received a friend request from Chen Jieran, and their relationship quickly became closer.

Chen Jieran is a very sensible person. He rarely sends messages to Jiang Qiuyao at inappropriate times, and most of their conversations are about study.

Chi Shanhong soon noticed the unusualness between the two.

But since the two of them were mostly communicating and studying, Chi Shanhong just felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

So Chi Shanhong told Lu Jinghe about this matter. He felt that he and Lu Jinghe were brothers, so there was nothing wrong with asking his brother to analyze and advise him, right?

Unexpectedly, Lu Jinghe's reaction was very strong——

"Chi Shanhong! Are you out of your mind?"

Chi Shanhong was puzzled: "What are you doing? Why are you scolding me for no reason?"

Lu Jinghe didn't expect that the relationship between the two would progress so rapidly.

"Didn't you say at the time that Jiang Qiuyao didn't like Chen Jieran?" Lu Jinghe's expression was not very good.

"Yes! Qiu Yao admitted it to me himself," Chi Shanhong said. "That's why I can't understand it. Chen Jieran said they were just discussing academic matters. Aren't first and second place competitors?"

"What do you know?" Lu Jinghe glanced at Chi Shanhong and said, "Sometimes, unspeakable feelings arise out of competition."

Chi Shanhong glanced at Lu Jinghe and said, "So you and Chen Jieran..."

Lu Jinghe looked incredulous: "Are you stupid? I'm the only one who hates him."

Chen Jieran did not regard him as his mortal enemy.

This is also what makes Lu Jinghe angry. Chen Jieran is such a pretentious guy that he doesn't even take him seriously.

Chi Shanhong asked: "I've always wanted to ask, why do you hate Chen Jieran so much?"

He thought Chen Jieran was a nice guy, handsome, good grades, and good character...

But this is not the reason why Chen Jieran could seduce Jiang Qiuyao.

Lu Jinghe snorted, "You probably didn't know that Chen Jieran had a black notebook when he was in elementary school."

Chi Sun-hong: "...Death Note?"

"Of course not! What were you thinking?"

Lu Jinghe was speechless: "...The notebook records the weaknesses of each of his 'good friends'. He doesn't even consider those people his friends!"
