Chapter 357

"How about... we go back in and drink some more?"

Cao Mingliang suggested.

"You guys can go, I'll pass. I have to drive and can't drink. I'm going back to school, you guys can take a taxi later."

Qin Tian smiled and declined.

"Then I'll pass too, I'm really not used to this kind of place."

Zhuang Zhe also said.

Chen Zhuang spread his hands and said with regret, "I'd like to drink some more, but since you two are going back, what's the point of me and Cao Zei drinking together."

"Brother Zhuang, Cao Zei is heartbroken, you can accompany him to drown his sorrows!"

Qin Tian said with a smile.

"Don't, he didn't even put his heart into it, what kind of heartbreak is this!"

Chen Zhuang curled his lips and looked at Cao Mingliang playfully.

"It's still a little bit sad, alright. Forget it, forget it, let's go back to sleep, let's come play again next time!"

Cao Mingliang scratched his head and changed his mind.

And so, the group went to the parking spot and got in the car, ready to return to school.

They didn't notice that in a luxury sports car not far behind, a certain smoky-eyed girl took out her phone and noted down their license plate number.

Watching the BMW disappear from sight, the girl smiled, then dialed a number.

"Hey, I'll send you a license plate number in a bit, help me check the owner's information, detailed one, yeah, thanks, I'll treat you to a drink next time."

After hanging up, the girl started her sports car.

With the roar of the engine, the red Lamborghini sports car pulled out of the parking space and sped away.

……

……

The next day, Cao Mingliang and Lv Yanran broke up.

Qin Tian and the others didn't know what they talked about, only that after class in the afternoon, they went to eat a breakup meal together, and then this relationship, which lasted only a little over a month from meeting to breakup, was declared over.

Lv Yanran didn't cause any more trouble, just became more distant from their two-dormitory group.

Of course, Qin Tian and the others didn't care at all, and even felt it was better this way.

As for the classmates in the class, there was naturally a lot of private discussion about this, but they weren't too surprised.

After all, most people didn't think highly of their relationship and knew they would break up sooner or later; they just didn't expect it to be so soon.

Besides studies and club activities, Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan began to focus more on designing their little nest.

Meanwhile, Zhao Mingyuan's internet cafe expansion plan also began.

In addition to the principal collected from the previous three internet cafes, the first sum of money Qin Tian cashed out from the stock market had also been transferred.

Zhao Mingyuan planned to open ten more stores in Jiangcheng before the Spring Festival this year, making Tianming Internet Cafe the leader in Jiangcheng's high-end internet cafe industry in one fell swoop.

Fortunately, Zhao Mingyuan was already familiar with all the processes, so he didn't need Qin Tian, the hands-off boss, to intervene, only occasionally contacting him by phone to seek his opinion on some decisions and choices.

Just like that, in the calm and fulfilling daily life, time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the golden October was over.

Before the start of winter, the first cold wave had already arrived, and the maximum temperature dropped by more than ten degrees all at once, making people feel as if they had entered winter overnight.

Local students in Jiangcheng and those nearby were already used to this, knowing the saying that Jiangcheng only has winter and summer, and spring and autumn are left to the Warring States period.

Many students from other places felt it was too abrupt.

Many didn't even have time to adapt by adding clothes to keep warm and caught colds.

The most intuitive manifestation was that during class in the classroom, the sounds of sneezing and blowing noses were very frequent.

"Lu Lei has a cold?"

Qin Tian glanced at Lu Lei, who was wearing a mask and looking unwell, and asked Xia Nuannuan, who had just sat down beside him.

"Yeah!"

Xia Nuannuan nodded and said with some worry, "They have four distinct seasons there, so the temperature won't drop so sharply. She's been coughing since she got up this morning. We told her to stay in the dormitory to rest, but she wouldn't listen. She took some cold medicine and insisted on coming to class."

"How about you? Are you okay?"

Qin Tian reached out and grabbed her slightly cold little hand, kneading it gently, and frowned slightly, "Why are your hands so cold?"

Xia Nuannuan gave a sweet smile and replied, "The wind was a bit strong when I walked over just now, I'm fine, thanks to insisting on running and exercising with you, my body is doing great now!"

"Still need to pay attention to keeping warm, don't catch a cold."

Qin Tian instructed.

"I know!"

Xia Nuannuan nodded obediently.

Qin Tian grabbed her other hand, stacked them together, and held them in his palms to rub.

"So warm..."

Xia Nuannuan's eyes curved, and a happy smile hung on her white and rosy face.

Over by the corridor, Shen Siqi also learned from Qin Tian and held Lu Lei's hands to help her warm up.

"What are you doing?"

Lu Lei looked at her with some astonishment.

Shen Siqi leaned back slightly, gestured with her chin toward Qin Tian and the other two on the right, and said seriously, "Who told you not to have a boyfriend? Only I, your good sister, can come!"

Lu Lei rolled her eyes speechlessly, feeling somewhat between laughter and tears.

"But your hands are also very cold!"

"Uh... my relative came last night, just make do with it!"

"Then let your Chen Zhuang warm your hands, don't worry about me."

"Why should I, we haven't become a couple yet, I won't let him take advantage of me."

"But you're taking advantage of me."

"What are you talking about, I'm not a lesbian, um... Sister Lei, your hands feel so comfortable."

"Please, can you let me lie down and rest?"

Lu Lei asked helplessly.

"Alright, then you rest, tell me if you're really uncomfortable, it's just a few classes, health is more important."

Shen Siqi said with full concern.

"I know, I know."

Lu Lei pulled back her hand, crossed her arms to pillow her head, and lay on the table to rest.

"Siqi, I brought hot water, does Sister Lei want to drink some?"

Xia Nuannuan took a pink thermos cup out of her bag and asked Shen Siqi.

"Let's talk about it later, let her rest for a while."

Shen Siqi said.

"Mm-hmm, tell me if you need it."

Xia Nuannuan nodded and said.

"Caught a cold? That's why I say, you girls from the south have weak bodies!"

Cheng Meng turned her head and said with a smile.

"Cheng Meng, you seem even more energetic!"

Xia Nuannuan said with a smile.

"That's for sure, it's almost zero degrees in Bingcheng now, what's this? Even if I still wore short sleeves, I could handle it, but the summer heat is deadly."

Cheng Meng smiled quite proudly.

Xia Nuannuan gave a faint smile and said, "That means our local ones are the most powerful, so hot in summer, so cold in winter, and we're all fine."

"What you said... makes sense."

Cheng Meng nodded blankly.

"That's because you, Xia Nuannuan, have good physical fitness. I'm from Jiangcheng too, every year when the season changes, isn't it easy to catch a cold?"

A girl sitting diagonally opposite turned her head and said, then sniffled, clearly also feeling a bit uncomfortable.

"It's all thanks to my brother, I wasn't in good health when I was fat before either."

Xia Nuannuan turned her head to look at Qin Tian, and the two smiled at each other.

"Please, I'm already a patient, don't hurt me anymore."

The girl complained helplessly.

"I didn't do anything!"

Xia Nuannuan wore an innocent expression.

The girl gave a resentful eye roll and turned her head away without speaking.
