96: Chapter 96 Can I add you on QQ?
Upon hearing this, a trace of resentment flashed in Tang Tian's eyes.
She had long forgotten about that bottle of water.
"Classmate Chen Fan, I already said that bottle of water was for your performance; you don't need to return it." She paused for a moment before continuing, "I was actually asking if I could add your QQ?"
Chen Fan was stunned for a moment.
"Add QQ?" He repeated.
"Yeah," Tang Tian nodded. "Is that not okay?"
"Sure." Chen Fan took out his phone.
When Tang Tian saw the phone on Chen Fan's desk, a look of curiosity appeared on her face.
"Classmate Chen Fan, is this an iPhone 4?"
"Yeah," Chen Fan nodded.
"I remember it hasn't been released in the country yet, right?"
"I bought the Hong Kong version."
"The Hong Kong version? Does that mean the version released in Hong Kong? Did you go to Hong Kong specifically to buy it, Classmate Chen Fan?"
"No, I bought it from a scalper in the country."
"What's the difference between the Hong Kong version and the ones sold domestically?" Tang Tian asked, tilting her head.
Chen Fan thought for a moment and said casually, "Basically no difference; the functions are all the same. It's just the charging plug that's different. The Hong Kong version has three prongs, so you need an adapter to plug it into our sockets. Also, there's the warranty. The national version has a nationwide warranty, while the Hong Kong version can't be repaired domestically. Plus, the price is a bit different; buying the Hong Kong version from a scalper is more expensive than the national version."
"So you can buy from scalpers! If I'd known, I would have bought from one too."
Tang Tian's eyes lit up. It seemed she didn't care that buying from a scalper was more expensive; she was more interested in the fact that it could be bought there. It seemed her family's financial situation was quite good.
Chen Fan didn't find this strange.
In his previous life, he had heard that those who came to study finance either had good looks or good family backgrounds.
And Tang Tian clearly possessed both.
"You add me," Chen Fan said.
"What's your QQ number?" Tang Tian said as she took out her own phone, an iPhone 3GS.
Chen Fan recited a string of numbers.
Upon hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in Tang Tian's eyes. Then, she lowered her head and pressed the keys, which made a faint "tap-tap" sound.
She was very focused; every few digits, she would stop to check the screen, afraid of making a mistake.
After finishing, she raised her head and turned the phone screen toward Chen Fan. "Is this it?"
"Yeah."
She tapped send, then tucked her phone back into her pocket and waved it at him. "Remember to add a note when you accept—my name is Tang Tian. The 'Tian' is the one with the heart radical plus the 'tongue' character."
Chen Fan nodded. "Okay."
"I'm off, bye-bye."
"Hey, the water…"
"I already said, I don't need it." Tang Tian said as she walked toward the exit of the playground.
Not far away, a girl ran over and linked arms with her. The two huddled together, whispering something, and Tang Tian laughed and gave the girl a playful shove.
Chen Fan didn't pay it any mind and walked toward the dormitory.
After returning to the dormitory.
Liu Zhipeng eagerly crowded up to Chen Fan. "Chen Fan, what did that dancing girl want with you today? She didn't fall for you, did she?"
"What dancing girl? Her name is Tang Tian."
"Good heavens, you even know the girl's name? You guys haven't actually started dating, have you?"
Chen Fan was getting annoyed by the questioning. He threw his phone onto the bed and couldn't help but curse, "Date my ass. I already have a girlfriend. We just met, that's all. You're overthinking this, damn it."
Seeing this, Liu Zhipeng looked sheepish and stopped talking.
Lying on the bed, Chen Fan was pondering a question in his mind.
That was whether or not he should move out.
Although the dormitory environment was not bad compared to his college dorm in his previous life, it was truly far inferior compared to his own 200-square-meter flat.
That place had a private bathroom, a large bathtub, an open kitchen, and floor-to-ceiling windows. Standing on the balcony, one could see the night view of half of Xian.
The bed here was only one meter wide; he was afraid of falling off just by turning over, and he had to climb a ladder for the bunk bed.
More importantly, bathing was a hassle; the dormitory only had one bathroom, and they had to take turns, which was indeed very inconvenient.
After thinking for a long time, Chen Fan finally decided to move out.
After all, the conditions of his own house were much better.
As for the dormitory, Chen Fan didn't have any attachment to it.
After these ten-plus days of getting along, he hadn't really formed brotherly bonds with the guys in the dorm.
At most, they were just friends.
Among them, Chen Fan was only slightly closer to the relatively more mature Wang Lei.
The main thing was that although Chen Fan was 18 now, he had the mindset of an adult, and he didn't have much in common with these greenhorns who had just started college.
Chen Fan made up his mind to move out after the military training ended.
His two-hundred-square-meter apartment was obviously much better than the dormitory environment; there was no need to squeeze into the dorm anymore.
...
At 12:00 AM, Chen Fan opened the wealth store.
He wanted to see if any special items had been refreshed today.
He focused his consciousness on the store interface.
He was instantly captivated by one of the items.
[Five Viscera Strengthening]
Description: The heart is the monarch of the organs, where the spirit resides. After strengthening, heart blood is abundant, the mind is clear, the complexion is ruddy, and sleep is peaceful. The lungs are the ministers of the organs, governing regulation. After strengthening, lung qi is sufficient, breathing is deep and long, external pathogens are warded off, and the skin is nourished. The liver is the general of the organs, responsible for strategy. After strengthening, liver blood is abundant, tendons and eyes are nourished, and detoxification is thorough. The spleen is the granary of the organs, where the five flavors are produced. After strengthening, the spleen and stomach function well, the source of qi and blood is abundant, and muscles are full. The kidneys are the officials of strength, where skills and tricks emerge. After strengthening, kidney essence is abundant, bone marrow is solid, yang energy is sufficient, hair is dark, hearing is sharp, and energy is endless.
Seeing this item, Chen Fan was so excited he almost jumped off the bed.
In this second life, what Chen Fan cared about most was his body.
His current body had bone and muscle levels that exceeded the average person's.
But these were all external, visible things. What was truly important were the organs hidden inside.
The heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys—these were the foundation of the body. No matter how hard the bones were or how strong the muscles were, if the heart had a problem, one would still end up bedridden.
But now, with this Five Viscera Strengthening, these risks could be avoided.
And most crucially, there was the effect of the final one: kidney strengthening.
Although Chen Fan didn't care much about this, well, as a man, one must have a pair of strong kidneys.
Thinking of this, he could no longer suppress his excitement and clicked purchase. Instantly, 5 million wealth store points disappeared.
In that instant, a warm current surged from the depths of his chest, like the feeling of soaking in a hot spring in winter. It spread from the heart to the lungs, and from the lungs to the liver, spleen, and kidneys, soaking in inch by inch, wrapping around bit by bit.
Just then, Chen Fan felt a wave of sleepiness.
He yawned, too lazy to even look at his phone again, pulled the quilt up to his chin, and fell into a deep sleep almost the moment he closed his eyes.
