Chapter 892: Just Ordinary
At 8 o'clock in the morning, the sun rises and its light shines on the square in front of Yuzhou South Station.
A titanium-gray electric bike stopped in the square in front of the station. Jiang Ning took out the car key and walked towards the entrance.
Before going on vacation, Teacher Guo Ran kept telling him to come over to her place and try her specialty dishes.
It finally came true today. Jiang Ning was wearing a black windbreaker and a shoulder bag, and was lightly equipped.
On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, many pedestrians began to return home in a hurry, but Jiang Ning walked forward slowly.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Jiang Ning!"
Jiang Ning turned his head and saw a girl with white, reflective skin. She was Lou Keke, a patient with bipolar disorder and possessed the aura of "Ghost-Fire Dead Husband".
"Oh, what a coincidence." Jiang Ning took a look and found that she was in good condition. It seemed that his electrical therapy was quite effective.
"Keke, do you know him?" a boy next to Lou Keke asked.
There was another girl present, who was also looking at Jiang Ning.
The two were friends and classmates of Lou Keke, natives of Yuzhou, and studied at the Affiliated High School of Nanjing Normal University.
The two people of the same age had noble looks between their brows, which was a huge difference from Zhang Chi, a peasant.
The two were puzzled. In the past, Lou Keke would never take the initiative to say hello even when she met acquaintances at school. She would always pretend not to see them, do her own thing, and like to immerse herself in her own world.
But now...
The boys among them stared at Jiang Ning nervously.
Lou Keke didn't know how to introduce them, so she said, "We've had dinner together before."
She still remembers the grilled fish she enjoyed on the ice.
"Jiang Ning, where are you going?" Lou Keke was happy to see him suddenly. It had been more than half a month since they last separated.
Jiang Ning said: "Zhongwu City."
Lou Keke nodded slightly: "What a pity, I'll go to South City."
Jiang Ning was talking as he walked towards the ticket office. Lou Keke went to get the ticket with him, but when they were heading to the entrance, her classmate touched her.
Lou Keke looked apologetic: "Sorry, I have to go over there now."
Jiang Ning followed the direction she pointed. That was the entrance to the business waiting hall, which was different from the second-class seats.
Jiang Ning responded calmly: "Okay, bye."
He turned and left without stopping.
Lou Keke was stunned. In fact, she just wanted to ask whether she should add a contact method, but Jiang Ning left too quickly.
The girl next to her whispered, "He's quite handsome. I thought we could chat for a while. What a pity..."
The male classmate who was traveling with us smiled, and that smile couldn't be concealed at all. There was a hint of superiority in his tone: "It can't be helped. After all, we booked a business class."
He withdrew his gaze and no longer took Jiang Ning seriously. He thought they were from the same world.
……
Zhongwu City.
Jiang Ning walked out of the station leisurely with a small backpack on her shoulder. From afar, she saw a graceful figure standing there.
Amid the crowd, he raised his hand and waved.
Guo Ran came forward with reserved steps.
Jiang Ning looked at her with a smile. It was winter, and the heavy clothes concealed Teacher Guo Ran's beautiful waistline. Instead, a pair of beautiful legs wrapped in high-waisted jeans were revealed, straight, slender and elegant.
"Jiang Ning, are you tired?" Guo Ran handed over a cup of hot milk tea, his eyes showing concern, as if he was looking at a little brother.
Jiang Ning looked at her face. After more than a year of teaching career, she had gradually shed the immaturity of her student days and became more and more beautiful.
That’s great. He had never seen Guo Ran like this in his previous life.
"What are you looking at? Is there something on my face?" Guo Ran was confused.
Jiang Ning shifted his gaze and looked at the green belt on the roadside. The snow in Zhongwu had not melted yet, and a few plum blossoms were blooming in the remaining snow.
Jiang Ning: "The plum blossoms are blooming."
"I think..." Guo Ran responded subconsciously.
Then, she realized something was wrong and said blankly, "Uh? What do you mean?"
Jiang Ning laughed: "Nothing."
"Okay, let's go." Guo Ran pushed him forward.
Guo Ran lagged behind him by half a step, his face slightly flushed: "You little brat, you really think I don't understand!"
It was 9:, too early to go to the restaurant and there were too many people in the cinema. Guo Ran made plans. She took Jiang Ning into a taxi, turned left and right, and entered a cafe with a very bourgeois decoration style.
After sitting down, Guo Ran ordered coffee and cake, then took out an ink pen and notebook from his bag.
Jiang Ning was shocked: "You are not going to give me tutoring, are you?"
If Chen Siyu were here, Jiang Ning couldn't even imagine how she would describe it.
"Do you still need to make up for your grades?" Guo Ran smiled and said, "I've always wanted to try it. Let me take you to the cafe, we can chat quietly, and then I'll write a lesson plan. How about that?"
Jiang Ning stared at Guo Ran. He often did this with Guo Ran in the office, but this was the first time in another place.
"Okay." Jiang Ning agreed.
Soothing music was playing in the cafe. Jiang Ning stirred the coffee with a spoon and took a sip occasionally. He looked at Guo Ran.
"When did you get your ears pierced?" Jiang Ning asked.
Guo Ran raised his head and recalled some memories: "I got the game when I was 18. I had just become an adult at that time and wanted to try something I had never done before, so I did it."
"But..." Guo Ran said here, his expression was both distressed and funny: "On the first night after getting my ears pierced, I felt incomplete. I felt sorry for my parents and I regretted it so much."
The two of them were chatting for a while when guests from the next table arrived. They seemed to be people on a blind date and were testing each other out. It only took a few minutes before they parted on bad terms.
Guo Ran appears to be a role model for others, but in fact, he often complains to Jiang Ning in private.
"The man's hair is a little greasy and the woman's makeup is a little heavy. In fact, the two people look similar, but it is obviously not sincere." Guo Ran commented.
Jiang Ning said: "All they talked about was money. They were calculating from beginning to end."
Guo Ran was slightly disappointed: "In fact, the essence of blind dates is mutual calculation."
She was driven crazy during the Chinese New Year this year and has become less and less interested in blind dates.
After Jiang Ning finished his cup of coffee, he stood up and went to the front desk to ask for a cup of hot water.
As a result, on the way back with the hot water, he found a man in his thirties who greeted Guo Ran very enthusiastically: "Hello, hello, you must be the one introduced by Aunt Li, no wonder you don't post photos, you are so handsome!"
The man's eyes were full of amazement and he did not hesitate to praise her. He was surprised to meet a woman of this level on a blind date.
When Guo Ran was puzzled, Jiang Ning patted his shoulder and said, "Brother, you got the wrong person. Is she over there?"
The man was stunned and looked in the direction of Jiang Ning's finger. There was a short and fat lady who was on the phone.
The man then realized that his cell phone was vibrating.
The man hung up the phone and left the cafe silently.
Jiang Ning laughed: "Teacher Guo, look, you ruined someone's blind date again."
Guo Ran was speechless: "It was already a failure!"
Blind dates are said to be about being well-matched, but in fact, it still depends on the appearance of both parties. If the person is good-looking, as long as they are not picky, they will always be single soon.
"And what do you mean by again?" Guo Ran was puzzled.
Jiang Ning said mysteriously: "Keep reading."
They stayed in the cafe for another half a day, and Guo Ran finally understood that all the men who came for blind dates always secretly glanced at her. Even the mutual testing with the blind date became absent-minded. One of the men answered the woman's hobbies in a way that was irrelevant.
Guo Ran packed his bag silently: "Let's go."
Jiang Ning smiled.
Guo Ran bumped him with her bag and said angrily: "Still laughing!"
Leaving the warm cafe, the two strolled on the street, hearing the sound of music in the distance.
Jiang Ning and his companions walked closer and saw a row of brand new commercial streets. At the entrance of the street was a magnificently decorated golden building. There was a constant stream of people coming and going at the door. On the pavilion on the second floor, dancers in red were dancing to the accompaniment of string music.
Guo Ran was surprised: "What a grand ceremony!"
Jiang Ning's consciousness passed through the center of the crowd, and he said, "Go and take a look."
Guo Ran was worried: "Are there too many people?"
Jiang Ning: “No big deal.”
As the two were about to move forward, someone shouted, "Ran Ran!"
Guo Ran heard the familiar voice and thought to herself that something was wrong. She quickly grabbed Jiang Ning's arm and said, "Let's go!"
Before he had taken a few steps, his way was blocked by a woman.
"Qinqin..." Guo Ran was ashamed, with a hint of embarrassment on his face.
Qinqin is about the same age as Guo Ran, around twenty-three years old, but she has a capable temperament and bright eyes, a true metropolitan beauty.
In fact, this is indeed the case. Le Qin and Guo Ran took two different paths. Guo Ran was admitted to the once unknown small city of Yuzhou, while she, as a top student of five colleges and four departments, stayed in BJ to be a lawyer and enjoy a life of hard work.
Le Qin was very angry: "Okay, Ranran, I asked you to accompany me to the gold shop yesterday, and you told me that you would write a lesson plan at home today. Have you written it?"
My best friend abandoned me and chose to hook up with a strange man... Hmm? Why does it look familiar?
Le Qin looked at Jiang Ning carefully, his brows gradually furrowed and his expression gradually became suspicious.
Then, her eyes suddenly widened and she stammered, "You are... a martial arts master!"
Compared with Le Qin's reaction, the first moment Jiang Ning saw her, he recalled the summer vacation when he and Tongtong were traveling in Hohhot. While staying in a hotel, someone accidentally broke into his room in order to catch her husband cheating. Without asking any questions, they started fighting and were eventually taught a lesson by Jiang Ning.
At that time, the woman was dressed in a suit and worked as a lawyer.
Jiang Ning raised his eyebrows: "Lawyer?"
Le Qin was excited: "Yes, it's me, it's me!"
She has never forgotten the demeanor of Jiang Ning when she met him that day. Who would have thought that they would see each other again, and as close friends.
Guo Ran was confused: "What are you talking about?"
Le Qin recounted the scene to her, and Guo Ran was slightly surprised: "Are you that good at fighting?"
Jiang Ning laughed and said, "Go to Class 8 and ask around."
Guo Ran disagreed. She taught Class 8 herself, so there was no difference.
Le Qin is a lawyer who often socializes and greets people from all walks of life, so she is very good at observing people's words and expressions. She realized that there was something fishy going on between the two.
She sees through it without saying anything.
Guo Ran tried to find a topic: "Qinqin, didn't your mother introduce you to a blind date today?"
Compared to Guo Ran's fear of blind dates, Le Qin hated him for not fighting for it when she talked about this: "I'm impressed. I've been here for so long, but my mom has only introduced me to 18 men. I met them in two days. Some were too ugly, some were too fat, some were too short, and some liked to brag and wouldn't say a word after a few questions."
"I urge my mother to introduce me to someone every day, but she refuses to find one. Now I am left with nothing to do every day. Others my age have children in kindergarten, but what about me?" Le Qin complained.
"…It's amazing." Guo Ran: "Didn't my mom introduce you to a tall and handsome guy the day before yesterday?"
Le Qin sighed: "Auntie is too ignorant. He is handsome, but he wants to marry into the family. Do the conditions of my family allow it?"
Guo Ran didn't know what to say.
……
The only way to relieve their worries is gold. Led by sister Le Qin, Jiang Ning and Guo Ran broke into the crowd.
The gold shop is holding an opening event, which not only offers various discounts and benefits, but also hosts challenge events.
"Catch the gold?"
The middle-aged woman in work clothes is the store manager. She holds the microphone and says, "This gold bar weighs 25 kg and is worth 700 million. If anyone can put on gloves and grab it, you can choose any of the jewelry outside! We have a notary present, so don't worry about regretting it!"
The female manager spoke excitedly, but all the customers' eyes were not on her. Instead, they were focused on the table in front of her. The solid wood table was covered with a red cloth, and on the red cloth, there was a rectangular piece of gold that was narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. Under the sunlight, it glowed like money.
There are glass partitions on both sides of the gold. Next to the table, there are four strong security guards holding rubber sticks, who are responsible for guarding to ensure that no one will steal the gold.
There was a sign in front of the table stating the rules: [With the back of your hand facing up, grab the gold with one hand. If it takes more than 10 seconds, you will get a prize].
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a burly man shouted, "I'll do it!"
The female store manager said, "I don't need to emphasize the rules, right?"
The old man watching praised: "This one is huge, awesome!"
"What is your occupation?" the middle-aged woman asked as usual.
The man smiled cheerfully: "I'm a gym coach, I can deadlift 260KG!"
Some people don’t understand what level this is in the field of fitness, but they are still shocked to hear 260KG, which is more than 500 pounds!
"Okay, okay, please accept the challenge!" The middle-aged woman, as the store manager, was not at all panicked.
The man walked forward and put on specially prepared disposable gloves.
Le Qin said: "Those gloves are not simple, they must be very slippery."
The fitness coach put on gloves and slowly walked to the wooden table. He grabbed the gold bar with one hand and pulled it up.
“It’s moving, it’s moving!” The crowd shouted, and everyone’s hearts were hanging in the air…
The next second, the gold bar slipped from his hands with a heavy "bang"!
The hearts of the onlookers fell.
"No, no!" People sighed and felt fortunate.
“No one can ever get enough, right?”
"Of course, the gold shop will let you get a bargain." Someone looked as if he saw through it.
Le Qin's logic is very simple: "One-handed flat grasping of 25 kg, I remember the Guinness World Record, it doesn't seem to be much higher than this, and you have to wear smooth gloves."
Immediately, she cursed in a low voice: "These gold shops really do everything to attract customers."
"Hey, here we go again!"
A middle-aged man covered in mud walked to the center.
The female store manager asked: "What is your occupation?"
The middle-aged man had dark skin and looked very weathered: "I'm a steel reinforcement worker at the construction site."
"I heard that the strongest people on a construction site are the steel workers, who are stronger than the carpenters and bricklayers." Le Qin talked to himself.
The steelworker put on gloves, grabbed the gold bar with one hand, and lifted it up with a sudden force, but it also did not last for two seconds before it fell down again with a bang.
There were sighs from the crowd.
Some people looked for a long time and didn't see anyone who could be caught, so they laughed at the gold shop and said they would blacklist the shop. The situation was out of control.
Seeing this, the female store manager decided to change the rules to save the situation.
Le Qin suddenly had an idea and looked at Jiang Ning: "Hey, master? You?"
Guo Ran understood, and she was speechless: "Him?"
"Qinqin, are you kidding me?"
