Chapter 1035 Binding You
Riverbank, single-story houses.
Tongtong sneaked home, took three mung bean popsicles from the refrigerator, and ran to Jiang Ning's little house to play games.
She generously offered one to Jiang Ning.
"This is so awesome!" Xue Yuantong sat on a swivel chair, her two fair legs dangling, waiting for the game to begin.
Jiang Ning took out a strangely shaped grayish-purple stone and examined it carefully.
This was collected from the Middle East by the Changqing Liquid team based on the illustrations provided by Jiang Ning. Jiang Ning pinched it with his fingers, and the rough, grayish-purple outer layer of rock fell off.
It revealed a slightly bright bluish-white color inside, and felt cool to the touch, with wisps of pure spiritual energy seeping into the meridians of his fingertips.
Jiang Ning was surprised; it was actually a Star-Containing Stone.
This item is not lacking in the cultivation world, but it is almost non-existent in the present world. For more than a year, the Changqing Liquid team traveled all over the country but could not find it.
The Star-Gathering Stone doesn't contain much spiritual energy, but more importantly, it contains the power of stars and moon stored over countless years, which is of great benefit to Jiang Ning's cultivation techniques.
With enough Star-Gathering Stones, Jiang Ning's cultivation level can be rapidly improved. Once the Snow Blossom Lake Grand Array is completed, he can use it to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
With his powerful magic and divine sense combined, he was capable of directly confronting and challenging 90% of the countries on this planet.
Xue Yuantong was engrossed in the game and completely ignored her servant Jiang Ning's grand ambitions, as she was participating in Weiwei's internal training match.
It has to be said that Weiwei's teammates are very strong. Xue Yuantong quickly finished his ice cream and switched to serious mode.
Jiang Ning witnessed her fall into depravity, while he diligently cultivated himself.
As the saying goes, time flies when you're cultivating; in the blink of an eye, an hour has passed.
Hearing the commotion of the electric scooter outside, Jiang Ning knew that Chu Chu had returned from school. He set up a soundproofing array around Tong Tong and then left the hut in front of her.
When I walked out to the open space, the sun was already setting and the sky was ablaze with evening glow.
Jiang Ning watched the sunset for a while, and his mood inexplicably brightened up. The reason he didn't become an ascetic was that he wanted to experience the meaning of life.
Grandpa Tang was still studying the wilted vegetable seedlings, completely baffled: "I used to be able to keep them alive?"
When Jiang Ning passed by, she heard his words and chuckled softly.
Grandpa Tang didn't know why he was laughing.
Jiang Ning stepped into Chu Chu's house and said, "Why are you back so late today?"
Xue Chuchu was busy in the kitchen.
After he entered the kitchen, Xue Chuchu replied, "I bought some groceries."
Jiang Ning glanced at it and saw a bowl of chicken feet, lemon, chili peppers, and ginger. He immediately understood what dish Chu Chu wanted to make.
Ever since he helped Chu Chu collect her old debts, this usually strong girl seems unwilling to owe him anything and always tries to make up for it by frequently cooking delicious snacks for him.
Jiang Ning said, "That's right."
He had been sitting at home for too long, so instead of sitting down, he leaned against the wall and watched Xue Chuchu clean the chicken feet and put them in the pot to blanch.
Xue Chuchu is different from Tongtong. Tongtong keeps humming, but Xue Chuchu hardly speaks.
Jiang Ning enjoyed the lively atmosphere and chatted casually, "Did you study hard at school today?"
"..." Xue Chuchu, like a primary school student, obediently said, "Yes, I mainly studied math and physics."
"Science alone is not enough; the humanities must catch up."
Xue Chuchu replied again: "I went to the library and read a book, 'Me and the Temple of Earth'."
"Studying alone isn't enough; you also need to exercise," Jiang Ning added.
If it were Tongtong, she probably would have glared at him, but Chuchu is extremely patient.
"I had a PE class in the afternoon, ran two laps, and also participated in the long jump."
Looking at her meek and submissive appearance, Jiang Ning said, "That's good. Warming up before exercising is the right thing to do."
"Hmm, how far did you jump?"
Xue Chuchu: "It's alright..."
Jiang Ning: "I am the long jump champion of No. 4 Middle School, and I can provide you with guidance."
Xue Chuchu was heating a chicken in a pot with hot water when she said, "Ah, sports are all about talent, right?"
Simply providing guidance is unlikely to improve a lot.
Jiang Ning: "Yes, that's why I need to check if you have any talent."
Upon hearing this, Xue Chuchu asked with a hint of curiosity, "How do you conduct the examination?"
Jiang Ning glanced at the girl's grapefruit-pink pants and said, "Look at your legs."
Xue Chuchu pursed her lips.
Feeling helpless, I thought he genuinely cared about me, but it turns out it was all a lie... the truth has finally come out.
"No." Xue Chuchu wasn't that kind of girl. She chose to ignore Jiang Ning and continue making him delicious snacks.
Jiang Ning: "You lack vision."
Hua Fengmei appeared outside the door; she had just gotten home from get off work.
Jiang Ning had already sensed her, but he continued to do as he pleased.
Hua Fengmei looked at the tall and thin Jiang Ning, and thinking about his usual conduct and his excellent grades, she became more and more satisfied. The usually stern Hua Fengmei became much more amiable: "What do you mean by lacking vision?"
Jiang Ning spoke first: "I talked to Chu Chu about her studies and contemporary literature, and then we talked about sports, but unfortunately she didn't want to listen to me about sports."
Hua Fengmei knew that although Jiang Ning wasn't very strong, he was actually quite tough. She noticed that even the butcher next door got along well with Jiang Ning, letting him do whatever he wanted with his dog, while the butcher could only sulk in silence.
Hua Fengmei smiled at Jiang Ning, but said to her daughter, "What a wonderful boy Jiang Ning is. He not only talks to you about your studies, but also cares about your health. He's so considerate."
Xue Chuchu was speechless with emotion: 'As expected... the wicked person accused first!'
She desperately wanted to tell her mother, 'He doesn't care about me at all; he just wants to see me…'
However, I can't say this to my mother, otherwise she can't imagine how embarrassing it would be.
Xue Chuchu could only cook in silence. After blanching the chicken feet, she used a slotted spoon to scoop them out and prepared to pour the water away.
Seeing that her arm was trembling slightly as she held the pot, Hua Fengmei immediately reached out and took it from her, easily carrying it to the drain.
Xue Chuchu originally thought she had grown up, but now she realized that her mother was still much stronger than her.
She smiled slightly, her cool demeanor fading, replaced by a touch of sweetness: "Mom, how come your hands are so steady?"
Hua Fengmei wanted to say, "After all, I'm your mother. I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice..."
Before she could even speak, Jiang Ning said, "Why are your hands so steady? Because you've supported a family."
These words made Hua Fengmei overjoyed. Over the years, as a widow with a beautiful daughter, she had endured countless hardships to raise her daughter.
She worked so hard to support this family!
Hua Fengmei admired Jiang Ning with the same appreciative gaze one would give a son-in-law.
Then she looked left and right, and found there was only one dish: chicken feet. She said, "Why is there only one dish? I'll make it..."
Then she remembered that she was in a hurry to get home and couldn't cook herself.
Hua Fengmei turned to her daughter and instructed, "Later, cook two more dishes, pour some orange juice and coconut milk, and cut some fruit to make something nice for Jiang Ning to eat."
Xue Chuchu's sweet smile froze.
Before leaving, Hua Fengmei took some vegetables from the refrigerator, such as shrimp, yellow croaker, and winter melon, and asked Chu Chu to take good care of Jiang Ning.
What could Xue Chuchu say? Unlike Tongtong, she understood her mother's hardships and always listened to her.
These dishes take a long time to prepare, and Xue Chuchu was afraid that he would get hungry if he waited too long, so she deboned the chicken feet and made him some lemon chicken feet.
Compared to the widely circulated image of an elderly woman biting into boneless chicken feet, Xue Chuchu's hand-peeled chicken feet clearly allowed Jiang Ning to enjoy them with peace of mind.
……
After finishing two games, Xue Yuantong looked back and realized that the sky outside the window had turned dark.
"It has to be me. When I appear on the gaming field, the whole sky darkens for me!" Xue Yuantong boasted.
Unfortunately, she didn't hear Jiang Ning's mocking laughter.
Turning around suddenly, I realized the servant was nowhere to be found.
Xue Yuantong snorted coldly, went out the door and headed straight for Chu Chu's house in the east. Why did she go straight for Chu Chu's house? Perhaps it was instinct!
She stormed to the kitchen door and saw the terrible scene inside. Enraged, she accused, "Jiang Ning, you actually cheated on me with food!"
"And you, Chuchu, I trusted you so much!"
She was so heartbroken; she felt like the whole world had betrayed her.
Jiang Ning picked up the plate: "Don't talk, just eat."
Xue Yuantong sat down casually, reluctantly letting them off this time: "This is the last time."
Jiang Ning picked up her phone; Chen Siyu had sent her a message.
……
at the same time.
The twins were playing on a tablet in the living room when Chen's mother noticed that Siyu was acting strangely.
"Why the long face?"
Chen Siyu suddenly asked, "Mom? Am I really useless?"
Chen Siqing: "It's no use~"
After she finished speaking, she realized that Jiang Ning was not there, and she had hurt her cute little sister's heart.
So she quickly hugged her younger sister tightly: "You're not the most useless one."
Chen Siyu was heartbroken. She broke free from her sister's embrace and resolutely ran out of the house alone. Chen Siqing quickly chased after her, and the two sisters left the house one after the other.
Chen Ma, who was watching coldly, sneered. How could she not understand what the two of them were thinking?
He shamelessly went to find Jiang Ning again!
Chen Siyu took a taxi to the riverbank, hoping to learn from Jiang Ning and shock Tang Fu when they did business the next day.
They got off the bus at the crowded riverbank and headed straight for the bungalows.
As soon as I entered, I saw Jiang Ning with Tongtong on the left and Chuchu on the right, eating.
Chen Siyu swallowed hard: "Did we come at the wrong time?"
Xue Yuantong was quite generous, making room for someone to move over: "Sit down!"
Chen Siyu had been traveling all day and hadn't eaten yet. She picked up her bowl and took a sip of pumpkin rice soup, feeling sweet and happy inside.
She took the initiative to ask, "Jiang Ning, after we finish eating, could you take us to the riverbank to learn money-making techniques?"
"Teach me, my sister and I can do anything."
Xue Chuchu ate her meal quietly. Jiang Ning was indeed good at making money; she earned 1.8 million in half an hour… That’s 1.8 million… Xue Chuchu was bewildered by the amount.
However, she would rather Jiang Ning earn less money.
Only she, having experienced it firsthand, understood some of the hidden dangers involved. She only hoped he would stop doing it; it was very dangerous.
If something unexpected happens one day, Tongtong will definitely be very sad...
And her…
Xue Yuantong didn't care much about these things. She kept a straight face and had the air of a master. She didn't have much ambition to make money. She only missed the poor days when she and Jiang Ning ate snacks together. Those were some of her happiest times.
"I heard you got swindled out of eighty yuan in your last business deal?" Xue Yuantong asked, adopting the air of a gangster leader.
"Yeah, that person is awful!" Chen Siyu wished she could make that person return everything.
Xue Yuantong tapped his chopsticks: "Do you still remember what I looked like?"
"remember."
Xue Yuantong: "Ahem, lead the way. I'll help you get revenge today."
After saying that, she stood up from the stool, put her hands behind her back, and adopted an air of standing up for her subordinates.
Chen Siyu and Chen Siqing looked at each other, completely unaware of where that person was!
Jiang Ning looked at the short Tongtong, coughed twice, and said, "What are you still standing there for?"
The twins got up, bewildered. They were just complaining; they didn't really want revenge!
A ripple flashed in Xue Chuchu's clear, watery eyes. Was Jiang Ning planning to risk his life again?
Unexpectedly, Jiang Ning solemnly said, "Alright, watch your eyes, don't step on Tongtong."
Xue Chuchu was stunned, then her lips curved slightly, but then she realized it wasn't a good idea and quickly straightened up.
Jiang Ning pointed out, "Alright, Chu Chu, stop laughing. Go make Tong Tong a bowl of coconut milk."
Xue Yuantong, utterly humiliated, stood on a bench and vowed, "One day, I will grow taller than the giraffes in the zoo."
Jiang Ning: "Here's a little-known fact: a giraffe is 1.6 meters tall when it's born, which is probably taller than you will be in your entire life."
The atmosphere was terrifyingly suffocating.
Xue Chuchu wanted to comfort her, saying, "After all, being short isn't necessarily a bad thing."
Think about it and forget it.
When Xue Chuchu talked about the book she was reading, she said, "Actually, being tall isn't always a good thing. I've been reading Dream of the Red Chamber recently and I specifically looked into the TV series. Some people were unable to play Jia Baoyu because they were too tall, and they missed an opportunity."
Xue Yuantong found solace in her best friend's company.
'I hate Jiang Ning so much!' She turned her face away from him.
Chen Siyu took over the conversation, speaking with a strong and assertive voice: "Jia Baoyu is such a coward!"
Chen Siqing: "How pathetic, life is too good."
Xue Yuantong agreed: "That's true to some extent."
Of course, the naive Xue Yuantong knew even better that, given the other party's noble status, it was already quite good that they didn't do anything evil.
Chen Siyu suddenly posed a question: "Do you think that if Jia Baoyu were to experience the hardships of earning money, would he change?"
Xue Chuchu, who had read many books, denied it: "No, because that's just who he is. Rather than letting him suffer and change him, it might be better to have a girl he likes enough to keep him in check and stop him from being so ignorant."
At this point, for some reason, she glanced at Jiang Ning.
Perhaps, even she didn't know that in her heart, Jiang Ning was also a lawless person.
Chen Siyu's theory was refuted by the clever Chu Chu.
Although Xue Chuchu was extremely beautiful, her rebuttals were gentle and mild, even more so than Bai Yuxia's.
The wise older sister, Chen Siqing, pointed out: "Little sister, you're too direct. Rules don't apply to everyone."
Chen Siyu took a sip of pumpkin soup and waved her hand: "Never mind, compared to Dream of the Red Chamber, I actually understand the Three Kingdoms period, which is full of heroes, better."
"For example, I know a little about Cao Pi, so feel free to ask me any questions!"
Jiang Ning was exasperated: 'You're becoming more and more lawless!'
