45: Chapter 45 My Roommate is the Female Lead (5)
"Wanwan, there is still plenty of time before Xu Zeqian's accident. You can try to become friends with him first. When the time comes, you can stall him in advance and prevent Xu Zeqian from going to find Lin Yuchen and the others. As long as that day passes, his life will be saved."
Jiang Wan frowned: "He is graduating next year and is currently elusive. Where am I supposed to find him to befriend him? Xiao Lingdang, you are making things too difficult for me."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lingdang felt that Jiang Wan made a valid point and offered another suggestion.
"How about you go work at his company? By working there, you can use your status as an employee to stall the boss."
Xiao Lingdang's suggestion might work, but when Jiang Wan heard it, she couldn't quite accept it.
Go to work? She really couldn't bring herself to do that! She had originally planned to have a good time for a few years after graduation before even thinking about working.
She didn't expect that Xiao Lingdang would ask her to start working during her internship!
However, Jiang Wan had no other good options at the moment, so she could only say to Xiao Lingdang: "Xiao Lingdang, this is one way. I'll keep it in mind, and if there really is no other way when the time comes, we will implement this plan!"
At this moment, the performance on stage ended, and it was Liu Yiyi's turn next. Jiang Wan quickly told Xiao Lingdang to withdraw for now.
There was still plenty of time; she would watch the show first. Saving the mission target's life could be worried about later! She was only a junior, there was no need to rush, there was still time.
Seeing that Jiang Wan had a plan in mind, Xiao Lingdang felt reassured and went back to continue watching the movie.
Seeing that Liu Yiyi's performance was about to start and hearing the host announce it, Li Yuzhu and Yang Yuxin began to clap vigorously.
Jiang Wan saw this and had no choice but to join in. Liu Yiyi was the school beauty, so many people were applauding for her; therefore, Jiang Wan clapped twice and stopped.
Watching Liu Yiyi dancing gracefully on stage, Jiang Wan couldn't help but inwardly grumble: Look, look at that slender waist, that body so supple it was as if she had no bones, bending down with such ease.
With such good skills, no wonder she could captivate three outstanding male leads!
Jiang Wan didn't know what the four great male gods looked like yet. After Liu Yiyi finished dancing, she noticed that all four of them were applauding, so they must have been very satisfied with Liu Yiyi's stage performance.
They were satisfied, but whether they were all satisfied was open to debate.
Lin Yuchen curled his lips, clapping as he watched the junior student on stage, and said to Xu Zeqian beside him: "I heard this is our school's newly elected school beauty. Look, Zeqian, isn't she beautiful? I didn't bring you here for nothing, right? You can relax and look at a beautiful woman at the same time."
Xu Zeqian thought, what's so beautiful about that? Isn't it just that she knows how to wear makeup! Even an ordinary girl, as long as she puts on exquisite makeup, her beauty gets an upgrade. If she's so capable, let her compare her bare face!
He had actually seen a girl more beautiful than this school beauty on stage, but he didn't know if she was coming here today.
The first time they met was at a restaurant, where he happened to bump into her. The second time was at this school, when he was driving home and found her walking on campus carrying books.
She didn't even notice the gazes falling on her from those around her. He just thought, since the young girl was a student at this school, she should be attending this gala. After all, this was the liveliest place, and as long as everyone was at school, they would all come to participate.
However, he had just looked around and didn't see her. Xu Zeqian remained silent for a long time, so Qi Yun, who was beside him, spoke up.
"The school beauty? She really deserves the title. Did you guys see that just now? This junior student's body is so soft; her waist bent down in an instant as if she had no bones. She must have put in a lot of hard work to practice like that."
Zhao Wenrui also chimed in: "Saw it, saw it. Must say, this dance was actually quite good. It's the most wonderful performance I've seen so far."
After Liu Yiyi finished her performance, Jiang Wan's phone rang. Jiang Wan took it out and saw that it was a message from her eldest cousin, saying he was outside the school and wanted to bring her something.
Jiang Wan was filled with surprise when she saw it. "Yuzhu, have you two gone back yet? My family member came to find me and is at the school gate now, so I'm going to leave first."
Li Yuzhu was watching with great interest. She checked the time and saw it wasn't even eight o'clock yet; it was too early to go back and sleep, so she shook her head and said she and Yang Yuxin would stay here to watch the show.
Yang Yuxin also shook her head and said she didn't want to leave now. Everyone was watching the program, so for Jiang Wan to get up and leave alone was actually quite conspicuous.
Xu Zeqian happened to turn his head and saw Jiang Wan. He felt that Jiang Wan looked a bit like the person he was looking for. Whether it was her or not, Xu Zeqian was unwilling to let go of even the slightest chance, so he told those beside him and left his seat.
The last time Xu Zeqian saw Jiang Wan, he was driving and didn't stop. He didn't know Jiang Wan's name and hadn't taken a photo, so it was a bit difficult to find her. He came to the gala this time just to try his luck.
He thought that if he ran into Jiang Wan again, he would definitely go up and get to know her.
Most of the students were in the auditorium, so it was actually quite quiet outside. Worried that her brother would wait too long, Jiang Wan walked quickly.
Jiang Wan thought to herself as she walked, it would be great if their school had shared bikes. She didn't know if the school would adopt the idea if she suggested it. Otherwise, for such a long distance, and with her having no transportation prepared, relying on her own legs to walk was really tiring!
Xu Zeqian chased her out, but only saw Jiang Wan's back as she had already walked far away. It was all the fault of that girl he met on the way; he had said he had an urgent matter, but she insisted on stopping him. See, now he was delayed.
Judging by the direction, she wasn't going back to the dormitory, but towards the school gate. After Xu Zeqian knew the direction, he looked at the car in the distance, sighed, and then lifted his legs to follow.
Jiang Wan's eldest cousin, Xu Chengan, was a doctor and was usually very busy. The last time Jiang Wan went home, she didn't see him. She heard from her aunt that her eldest cousin had gone to Jing City on a business trip to perform surgery, and she didn't know when he would be back.
Just as she stepped out of the school gate, Jiang Wan saw from afar the man who looked refined and polite, leaning against the front of a car, and ran over happily.
Xu Chengan also opened his arms early to welcome his cutest younger sister. Jiang Wan threw herself into Xu Chengan's arms and acted coquettishly: "Big Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time. I missed you so much!"
Xu Chengan laughed despite himself and patted the little girl in his arms. "How long has it been? It's only been over a month, right? And that includes the time you spent in military training."
Jiang Wan pulled out of Xu Chengan's embrace and wrinkled her nose. "You're still saying that? Second Brother knew to call me, but you didn't even give me a call to check on me. Do you know? During military training, my feet got blisters, and it hurt like crazy."
Xu Chengan remembered that Jiang Wan had just run over, so he didn't quite believe it, but seeing Jiang Wan's expression, he immediately changed his tone. "Oh my, is it that serious? Is it better now? If it's not better, should I take a look for you?"
Jiang Wan waved her hand: "No need, no need, it's a small matter. It will heal on its own soon, no need to trouble you, a great doctor. Big Brother, did you just get back?"
Xu Chengan nodded with a smile: "Yeah, I just put down my luggage. Thinking that it was your first time living in a dormitory, I came to see you. To see if you were suffering, to see if you had lost weight, and to bring you something delicious. During military training, I was worried you would turn into a little dark girl, but I didn't expect you to still be so beautiful. Your Big Brother here can finally rest easy."
Jiang Wan was happy. "That's so nice. Then thank you for your trouble, Big Brother. I am so happy that you care about me so much. Let me see what delicious things you brought me? But Big Brother, you actually don't need to bring them to me. I will go home to get them on the weekend; you can just leave them at home."
Xu Chengan opened the car door, took out the bag inside, and handed it to Jiang Wan. "Did you forget? National Day is coming up soon. Doesn't your school adjust the schedule? You probably won't have time to go home this weekend!"
Jiang Wan was happily taking the bag when she heard her Big Brother's words and finally realized. "Oh right, National Day is coming up soon. How could I forget? Then I probably can't go home this week. I'll go back during National Day."
Xu Chengan nodded: "Mm, call your brother when the time comes, and I will pick you up. These are some specialties from Jing City for you to taste. Remember to share some with your roommates. Build good relationships, and it will be easier for you to live there. Also, the gift I bought for you is at home; you can see it when you go home. Alright, it's getting too late. It's not good for a girl to stay outside for too long. You should go in quickly!"
Xu Chengan mainly wanted to see if Jiang Wan was doing well at school. After all, his little girl was living in a dormitory for the first time, and he didn't know if she was used to it. She was so picky about food, and he didn't know if she could eat the food in the cafeteria. When he returned, he heard from his mother that his sister was doing quite well, but he still drove over to see her. He had to meet a friend in a while, which was in this direction, so it was just on the way.
Jiang Wan knew that her Big Brother had just returned and must not have rested, so she nodded obediently. "Okay, Big Brother, that's it for now. Drive carefully on your way back and pay attention to safety. I'll go home in a few days."
Xu Chengan nodded: "Alright, go in. I'll watch you go in before I leave."
After saying goodbye to her brother, Jiang Wan happily walked into the campus carrying her things.
After seeing Jiang Wan safely enter the campus, Xu Chengan drove away.
Xu Zeqian was at the guard station, watching Jiang Wan chatting and laughing with a young man, and even hugging him, his expression unreadable.
He had already seen Jiang Wan's face clearly; it was the person he was looking for. Seeing Jiang Wan being so intimate with someone else, Xu Zeqian felt very uncomfortable, but he had no reason to go over.
After waiting for a long time for Jiang Wan to come in, and seeing the man drive away, Xu Zeqian finally let out the pent-up frustration in his heart. He lifted his feet and walked towards Jiang Wan.
"Junior, wait a moment."
