Rebirth: He Decides to Lie Flat
Chapter 442 - 442 437 New Skills

Chapter 442: Chapter 437: New Skills Chapter 442: Chapter 437: New Skills Gao Jie didn’t expect Dai Lei to explain anything, in fact, she felt quite moved.

He took the matter of writing the love letter onto himself, and said… Gao Jie’s cheeks burned, and even her ears turned bright red. She covered her face with her hands, her heart pounding chaotically.

Meanwhile, at the hospital visiting Du Fei, Zhao Jingjing was stunned as she read the two sentences sent by Dai Lei. Why was it that Du Fei should help write a love letter to Gao Jie?

Wasn’t he pursuing Du Fei?

Although Zhao Jingjing really wanted to side with her best friend, reason told her that Dai Lei had no need to lie!

Zhao Jingjing put down her phone, looking up at her best friend lying on the hospital bed with complex emotions.

By then, Du Fei had woken up. Although she had jumped off from the sixth-floor terrace, she landed first on a pine tree which absorbed most of the impact, and then fell onto the lawn. Aside from her right calf and an arm being broken, and some bruises on her body, there was no serious harm.

It was truly a stroke of luck amidst misfortune!

Her parents had gone out to buy her food, so at the moment, only the two of them were in the ward.

She had many things she wanted to say to Du Fei, like persuading her to see things differently, to say that no matter what her mother said, it was for her own good. How could she jump off a building in anger? You’re the only child of your parents, what would they do if you died?

But suddenly, she felt that those words were meaningless and even ridiculous.

The two of them studied in the same city, though not the same university, but the distance wasn’t far, so almost every week, they met each other.

Zhao Jingjing said to Du Fei, “If you really don’t want to stay at home, we can go back to school early.”

Du Fei nodded slightly, her delicate face marked with a few pink scratches, her voice hoarse as she spoke, “Jingjing, when we go back, shall we find a part-time job to do?”

Part-time job?

Zhao Jingjing paused, suddenly remembering that Dai Lei had stopped asking his family for tuition and living expenses since his freshman year, so she was…

Sigh…

Zhao Jingjing silently sighed and nodded in agreement.

…

After coming back and visiting his grandparents and a few relatives, Dai Lei was completely free with nothing to do.

Remembering that he had promised Gao Jie to take her to the movies again, he texted her to ask about her schedule.

Who knew that Gao Jie was in the library and suggested he just go there directly.

For most of the summer vacation thereafter, the two of them met almost every day at the library, and occasionally, when they were tired of reading, they went to a nearby cinema to watch movies.

As for the two sentences Ji Bin had posted in the group chat on Dai Lei’s behalf, Gao Jie avoided the topic, and since Dai Lei also didn’t know how to explain, the topic was skirted around.

As the school term approached, they agreed to return to Beijing together.

On the train, Dai Lei received a call from Jiang Yan with good news: the old dilapidated property they bought together was going to be demolished.

At that moment, Jiang Yan and Mu Jiawen were at the demolition office of another neighborhood signing documents. Once that was completed, in a few days they would have to sign for another one.

The compensations for these two properties came at just the right time, precisely as “Feilu” cybercafe was opening its second store, which was under renovation and the funds were about to be exhausted. Then the money from the compensation came in to fill the gap just in time.

“Opening two stores in one year, I think the pace is a bit fast. Talk with Luyang, tell him not to push so hard.”

Mu Jiawen was supposed to just paint and manage the gallery during the summer vacation, but in August, she was dragged by Luyang to look for premises and plan renovations, so busy she didn’t even have time to play with her nephew.

So why did she have to irrationally open a store in Luyang?

She, who was easily satisfied with life, why did she have a momentary lapse of judgment and decide to do business?

You say you just provide the money and not worry about anything else, is that possible?

Jiang Yan was always busy during the vacations; the electronics factory almost wished he could go every day, but “Blue Deer” was also calling him, and he hadn’t inquired about the specialty store for a long time. It was Qi Lihong who managed to look after the second floor as well.

In such a situation, it was impossible for the second brother to get Jiang Yan to run to the internet café with him.

Fortunately, school was about to start, and they finally could take refuge in the campus for a while.

But something felt a bit off.

Just after signing the papers and coming out of the demolition office, Jiang Yan received a phone call from Jing Junyang, “It’s just you guys we’re missing, where are you?”

The “Blue Deer” had a dinner gathering today, the kind where you could bring your partner.

“We’ve just finished, we’re on our way now.”

“Just finished? It will take you half an hour to get here… Go and tell the waiter not to rush the dishes.”

There was a lot of noise on the other end; many people were there. Jing Junyang had to shout to speak to him, and the latter comment was clearly directed at someone next to him.

Jiang Yan found the noise unbearable and promptly hung up the phone.

The two of them drove to the Xiang Cuisine Restaurant near the entrance of Beijing University.

Since “Blue Deer” was made up of people from Beijing University, from top to bottom, everyone was accustomed to the taste of the restaurants around here, so they always came here for gatherings.

They were all young people who hadn’t reached the stage of choosing a restaurant based on its level of elegance for dining.

When Jiang Yan and Mu Jiawen arrived in the private room, the large round table suitable for fifteen people was almost full, with only two seats left vacant next to Jing Junyang.

“Jiang Yan is here.”

“Jiang Yan…”

“Come on, you two sit over here.”

Voices greeted Jiang Yan one after another. He waved to everyone and walked in, escorting Mu Jiawen to their seats.

Jiang Yan sat next to Jing Junyang, with Mu Jiawen on his other side, and next to Mu Jiawen was Qi Lihong. She had done Jing Junyang a big favor this year, and the specialty store she managed was also his, so it made perfect sense to invite her along.

Interestingly, sitting on the other side of Jing Junyang was a girl Jiang Yan didn’t recognize.

Jiang Yan gave the girl a glance, then turned his gaze towards Jing Junyang, his questioning look obvious.

“Let me introduce her, this is Mu Miao, my high school classmate, graduated from Beijing Normal University, and she just got accepted into our university’s law department this year. I called her along for dinner since I needed to consult her about some legal issues,” Jing Junyang introduced very candidly, obviously without any ulterior motives.

Jiang Yan immediately lost interest and turned his attention to the bottle of fruit wine Du Fan passed to Mu Jiawen.

“This has a low alcohol content, but it tastes sweet, it’s quite nice.”

Mu Jiawen became interested and poured herself a generous half glass.

After she finished pouring, Jiang Yan discreetly took the remaining fruit wine to the other side of the table. It wasn’t that he didn’t want her to drink, but her tolerance was quite worrying.

Because you never know after which glass she will show signs of getting drunk, and she can be quite convincing with her serious demeanor.

This wasn’t too bad, but the key issue was that last time she got drunk, she suddenly acquired a new skill—she asked Jiang Yan to perform a striptease for her!

Jiang Yan was puzzled, when had she come up with such an idea?

If you planned to ask for details the next day, that was definitely impossible, because she had the ability to have memory gaps.

“Eat some dishes first, drink later.”

Jiang Yan put some of her favorite dishes on her plate before reaching for a can of beer from the table and opening it.

The interactions between the two were not overtly noticeable, but they were all observed by Jing Junyang’s high school classmate sitting next to him.

She leaned closer to Jing Junyang and whispered, “Your partner is really attentive to his girlfriend.”
