Rebirth: He Decides to Lie Flat
Chapter 312 - 312 309 Anti-Mosquito Pants

Chapter 312: Chapter 309: Anti-Mosquito Pants Chapter 312: Chapter 309: Anti-Mosquito Pants Jiang Yan squinted as he watched He Yitang walk away, not very pleased.

This guy’s gaze on Jiajia made him extremely uncomfortable.

Er’zi also noticed something was off and said, surprised, “He must be thirty already, so old…”

“Not thirty, one year younger than my second brother.”

Jiang Yan gave Mu Jiawen a sidelong glance, “You sure remember clearly.”

“What can I do if I have a good memory?”

She completely missed the sour tone in Jiang Yan’s words and even turned her head to introduce him to Er’zi, “He’s the son of my mom’s good friend, studied abroad before, probably just graduated, I guess.”

Er’zi gave her a look and said, “He’s not as tall as my brother, not as handsome, nor does he have my brother’s charm.”

This comment had nothing to do with what Mu Jiawen had just said, but she actually nodded in agreement, “That’s right!”

Jiang Yan’s mood instantly improved, and as the dishes arrived, he helped her with the meat, vegetables, and meatballs…

After the three of them had their fill from the hot pot restaurant, Mu Jiawen had long forgotten about He Yitang. When leaving, she didn’t even turn her head in his direction, causing He Yitang to resentfully lower the hand he had lifted.

Out of the corner of his eye, Jiang Yan saw this scene and couldn’t help but smile.

By this time, the evening lights were just coming on. Er’zi went back to Xinyu, while Jiang Yan and Mu Jiawen strolled back to school leisurely.

Looking at the denim shorts and short skirts on the girls all over the street, a cool feeling hit them in the face.

With a bit of accusation, Mu Jiawen asked Jiang Yan, “Why can’t I wear shorts? Long pants are very hot.”

She and Liang Yujun had bought two pairs of denim shorts together, which were very cool, but after wearing them only once, Jiang Yan stopped her.

Now she wore T-shirts and long pants every day.

Jiang Yan held her hand, not looking anywhere else, “You attract mosquitoes, wearing shorts makes it easy for mosquitoes to bite you, and then you’ll end up covered in bites.”

“I could spray mosquito repellent.”

“Mosquitoes have evolved nowadays, they’re immune to mosquito repellent.”

Mu Jiawen suspected he was talking nonsense, so she turned and glared at him, stopping and refusing to move.

Unperturbed, Jiang Yan asked, “Do you want to eat ice cream?”

No sooner had the words left his mouth than, without waiting for Mu Jiawen’s reply, a sudden clattering noise came from the barbecue shop across the street, then the sound of a wine bottle shattering on the ground, followed by consecutive shrill screams and a lot of commotion.

Looking in the direction of the noise, they saw that at the open-air barbecue place, everyone at two of the tables were standing up, ready for confrontation.

But there was one person at one of the tables who was sitting down, and Jiang Yan was especially familiar with him.

It was Jing Junyang.

Jiang Yan narrowed his eyes and said to Mu Jiawen, “Let’s go and have a look.”

They crossed the road and walked into the barbecue shop, and just got near when they heard a sharp female voice–

“Jing Junyang, what exactly do you want? We’ve already broken up, you… you keep pestering us, we can’t possibly get back together again?”

Jiang Yan: ? ? ?

What the heck, what’s going on?

Jing Junyang pestering?

Jiang Yan was completely confused. Could it be that these two tables were close to fighting over a girl?

That can’t be, right?

Just then they heard Jing Junyang scoff, “Lin Miao, aren’t you thinking too highly of yourself? Me, pester you? Since the day we broke up, have I said a word to you?”

“Then why must you come here to eat? Could it be because we were here, and you did it on purpose?”

“Still doing it on purpose, huh? Do you really fucking dare to think the barbecue restaurant is yours?”

“You…”

“If you don’t want to eat, then scram and don’t fucking kill my appetite.”

Hearing Jing Junyang speak with no courtesy at all, Lin Miao’s eyes turned red with anger, tears swirling around in her eyes, making her look pitiful.

The young man standing beside her said with an unhappy face, “Jing Junyang, bullying a girl, do you have no shame?”

Jing Junyang glanced at him and sneered, “You fucking dare to pick up what I’ve used, what right do I have to feel ashamed?”

As soon as these words were uttered, both the young man and Lin Miao’s faces changed dramatically, especially Lin Miao, who was so angry that she trembled all over, her little face pale white as she looked at Jing Junyang with eyes that seemed to want to tear him apart.

The young man’s eyes grew darker, his fists clenched, but as he caught the unfriendly gaze of a tall and burly man standing up from the other table, he slowly unclenched his fists. He turned, taking the two companions with him, and pulled Lin Miao away.

Standing up was just a show of force, but it was clear who was stronger and who was weaker.

A wise man does not suffer loss before his eyes, hmm, not bad!

Jiang Yan glanced at the floor where, likely due to standing up too abruptly and bumping the table, a beer bottle had fallen, giving off an unsettling impression of a potential fight.

He took two steps forward, looking at Jing Junyang with a teasing expression,”I didn’t expect you to still be hung up on her, playing the jealous game?”

“Quit fucking gloating over others’ misfortune.”

Jing Junyang also felt helpless, “I just took my buddies out for a barbecue, who knew we’d bump into them? Bumped into them so eat our own food, but who knew a woman’s heart was so full of drama, even fucking blaming me for coming here specifically for her, she sure thinks highly of herself!”

“Isn’t it because Yu Chao loves to steal your thunder? This is the second one, right?”

After one boy finished speaking, another chimed in, “Old Jing, does that son of a bitch have a crush on you? He fucking goes after anyone you’ve dated, what kind of taste is that? I seriously suspect he actually likes you.”

“Fuck off, can you not disgust me?”

“Hahahaha…”

Young people are so carefree, look at this bunch of fools.

Jing Junyang asked Jiang Yan to sit down, but he waved his hand and left with Mu Jiawen.

He felt again that his cheeky girl was more straightforward, more innocent, and cuter.

They went to the store next door and bought two different flavored ice creams, licking them while they walked back to school.

When they entered the dimly lit cobblestone path, Jiang Yan stood in the shadow and turned around, “What flavor is yours? Let me taste it.”

Mu Jiawen, unsuspecting, turned her head and handed over her ice cream, but suddenly her head was held from behind, and Jiang Yan kissed her…

After a while, “The orange flavor is quite sweet.”

“…It’s all melted, it’s all your fault.”

“Then eat mine.”

“Yours is melted too.”

“The one in my mouth hasn’t melted, it’s grape flavor, try it.”

“…”

On the weekend, before heading to the electronics factory, Jiang Yan first went to the small commodities market.

He spent half an hour browsing the fabric section, eventually choosing three types of fabric that felt cool, draped well for trousers, and did not easily deform, akin to modal fabric of the future.

He wasn’t exactly familiar with this stuff, but vaguely remembered from his past life that grandmothers would often buy mosquito-repellent pants for their grandchildren in the summer. The children would run around wearing these light and cool long pants, certainly much safer than shorts.

Some even had open crotches.

He inquired with the fabric seller, who happened to also make clothes. Jiang Yan gave a simple description of the style of pants he wanted, as well as Mu Jiawen’s height and leg length. Hmm, he had measured with his hands last night, it might not be very precise, but since these pants were cinched at the ankles, even if they were a bit long, it wouldn’t matter.

By the time he returned from the electronics factory in the afternoon, he brought Mu Jiawen six pairs of mosquito-repellent pants in different colors.
