Chapter 188: Can I Have a Photo with You?

“Blow a ball, blow a big balloon, blow up the balloon and play with it~”

“White Dragon Horse, hooves facing west, carrying Tang Sanzang, followed by three disciples~”

“The big windmill creaks and squeaks and turns~ The scenery here is so beautiful…”

Miss Jiang, who came out of the office, seemed to be in a very good mood.

She sang different songs along the way.

Anyone who greeted her received a smiling, gentle smile.

Her charming and naive appearance, unknowingly, captured the hearts of many young men.

Yet, she herself was completely unaware.

She still had that graceful and charming smile, looking very happy.

When she returned to the classroom door.

Miss Jiang happened to meet the ‘little waist fairy’ who was about to leave.

“Where are you going, Wenwen?”

“To the restroom. You’re back? What did the leader want you for?”

“About next semester’s accommodation.” Jiang Ning reached out and pinched Qi Wen’s little face.

The abundance of collagen made her reluctant to let go.

But while she was happy, Qi Wen, who was being pinched, was not pleased.

She slapped Jiang Ning’s hand away.

“Ouch…”

“Alright, alright, I’ll be gentler then.”

“No!”

Qi Wen took a step back, a little annoyed.

“No more pinching! I’m going to get angry!”

“So stingy,” Miss Jiang grumbled discontentedly, but the words reached Qi Wen’s ears, almost making the ‘National Dance little waist fairy’ furious.

She took a deep breath.

“Are you sure about staying in the dorm next semester?”

“Of course.” Miss Jiang raised an eyebrow and chuckled:

“What about you? Together?”

Hearing this.

Qi Wen’s small brows furrowed tightly.

“I need to go back and work on my dad’s mindset.”

“He’s not comfortable with me living at school.”

“What, does your dad think you’re going to live with boys?” Jiang Ning retorted with an unceremonious snort.

Now, whenever she thought of Little Qi’s dad, everything seemed to annoy her.

At the last parent-teacher conference, if her dad hadn’t suddenly taken Little Qi to talk to someone else.

She wouldn’t have been forced to ‘meet’ so many parents.

Just thinking about the unusually kind attitude those parents had towards her, Miss Jiang still felt a strange discomfort recalling it now.

“Oh, that’s not what he’s worried about!”

“What, is he worried his daughter will be bullied?”

As Miss Jiang spoke, she reached out to pinch her face again, but Little Qi dodged it.

“Jiangjiang, you’re so annoying!”

Saying that, she stomped her foot, pouted, and turned to leave.

“Ugh…”

Like a little sulking bag.

Watching Little Qi’s retreating back, Jiang Ning smacked her lips.

But then she remembered something.

She suddenly opened her mouth and shouted loudly at that retreating figure.

“Oh, Wenwen!”

“The leader wants you to go see her!”

“Don’t forget!”

After shouting, Jiang Ning tilted her head and stared at the ‘waist fairy’s’ slender back for a while.

She shook her head.

Just as she was about to return to class, a voice called out to her.

“Tomboy!”

“Hmm?”

Jiang Ning looked back and saw Li Duoyong walking from the back door.

Seeing the sweat all over his head, he most likely played ball during lunch.

“What do you want?”

“Can we discuss something?”

“Speak.”

At this point, Li Duoyong’s voice paused, seeming a bit embarrassed.

After a long hesitation, he spoke with some reluctance.

“Can I ask you for a photo?”

???

Jiang Ning looked at her old classmate in front of her with some surprise.

If it were any other young man making this request, she wouldn’t even bother to acknowledge them and would just turn and leave.

But this kid, Li Duoyong.

Not to mention their friendship from a previous life.

Just over the past year, some of the things this young man did were truly friendly.

“What do you want a photo for?”

“Well, we’re splitting into new classes for second year high school, so I guess we won’t have many chances to meet after this…”

Li Duoyong spoke awkwardly, like a young girl.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning somewhat understood what her old classmate meant.

“Damn little four-eyes.”

She muttered to herself.

After thinking for a moment.

She still said:

“I don’t have any photos.”

Hearing this, Li Duoyong’s body stiffened.

But before he could speak again.

That clear, spring-like voice reappeared.

“I do have a few sticker photos, do you want one?”

Subconsciously.

Li Duoyong looked up.

What greeted him was a smiling face as bright as spring.

A moment later.

When Miss Jiang returned to her seat.

As soon as she sat down.

Luo Shanshan immediately gravitated towards her like a magnet.

“Jiangjiang! What did Fatty Li want with you?”

“Why did he look like he was about to cry when he came back?”

“Did you lecture him? Or…”

Luo Shanshan put on an expression as if she saw through everything.

But what greeted her was Miss Jiang’s action of tapping her on the forehead.

“Why are you so dramatic?”

“He just asked me for a photo to put in the class yearbook.”

“Ah!?” Luo Shanshan was full of shock.

“You agreed?”

“Why wouldn’t I?” Jiang Ning said, opening her school bag.

From an inner compartment, she pulled out a small paper-sealed packet.

She opened it.

And poured out the photos inside.

There were four in total.

All were photos taken with Meng Qing and the others last time.

Three group photos, one solo photo.

Group photos couldn’t be given away.

So Miss Jiang took out the photo of herself smiling with her head tilted, intending to stick it in the class yearbook on the desk.

But as soon as the photo was taken out.

It was snatched away by a hand.

She looked back.

It was Sun Qian, that girl.

She saw her holding Jiang Ning’s sticker photo, grinning as she examined it.

“Jiangjiang.”

“This is a treasure.”

“Do you know how much one of your photos is being hyped up for outside right now?”

At this remark.

Not to mention Luo Shanshan, even the classmates on the other side focused their attention on Sun Qian.

“How much?”

Hearing this.

Sun Qian held up one finger.

“100 yuan!”

Wow!!!

The surrounding classmates were stunned.

Even Miss Jiang herself was shocked.

Good heavens.

My old face can actually be worth so much money?

If I rushed out to take more photos, could I also make a small profit?

Of course.

This thought was just a fleeting one.

Supply and demand were at play.

The principle of rarity making something valuable also applied here.

“So, can I have this photo?” Sun Qian held the sticker photo in her hand and leaned close to Miss Jiang.

“Don’t worry, I won’t sell it.”

Seeing the ‘tablet’ (Nickname for Sun Qian) rarely trying to curry favor with her like this.

Miss Jiang rolled her eyes in annoyance.

She extended her hand towards Sun Qian.

“Give it back. I promised this photo to someone.”

“If you want one, we can go out and take some together during the summer vacation.”

“It’s no big deal.”

Miss Jiang’s suggestion was immediately welcomed by the others.

Even Nie Yao and the others, who were not far away, joined in.

The girls chattered away for a long time.

As a result, their conversation shifted from merely taking photos during the summer to going out to play together during the summer vacation.

Some suggested going shopping at the mall.

Some suggested strolling along the streets.

Others suggested going to KTV.

As for a certain person’s idea of playing video games, it was directly ignored.

Later, at Qi Wen’s suggestion, who had returned from the teacher, the group decided to visit Jiangzhou Amusement Park during the summer.

Because they heard that not only did it have amusement rides, but also some rare and exotic animals not usually seen.

Afterwards.

After Jiang Ning returned the class yearbook to Li Duoyong.

She watched the ‘little waist fairy’ walking back to her seat.

After thinking for a moment, she quickly followed.

“Wenwen?”

Hmm?

Qi Wen looked back with a puzzled glance.

“What’s wrong?”

“What did the leader want you for?”

“Oh.” Qi Wen returned to her seat, lowered her head, found a math textbook in her drawer, and placed it on the desk.

Then she said in a normal tone:

“Next week there’s an event called ‘Youth Commemoration,’ and the school wants me to go up and perform a dance…”

Youth Commemoration?

How vulgar is that name?

Just as she was about to complain.

Jiang Ning suddenly realized she seemed to have heard that name somewhere before and couldn’t help but ask.

“What kind of event is it?”

“It’s a farewell for the third-year high school graduates…”

!!!

Hearing this.

Miss Jiang’s pupils contracted.

Memories from her previous life suddenly flashed in her mind.

She was about to speak.

But the next second, Qi Wen spoke in a very calm tone:

“I turned it down.”

Huh?

Jiang Ning looked bewildered and subconsciously asked.

“Why?”

What she got in return was a big eye-roll from Little Qi and a slightly resentful sigh.

“No choice.”

“Who told a certain Lord Jiang not to let people show their faces in public…”
