Rebirth: He Decides to Lie Flat
Chapter 527 - 527 522 Introduce You to a Girlfriend

Chapter 527: Chapter 522: Introduce You to a Girlfriend Chapter 527: Chapter 522: Introduce You to a Girlfriend But Jing Junyang called three times in a row and no one answered; when he put down the phone, he was still muttering, “What’s going on? Why aren’t they answering the phone?”

“Didn’t you say they both went out on a trip? They’re probably having fun somewhere, too noisy to hear the phone.”

At that moment, Du Fan walked in with a cup in hand, looking utterly bewildered.

Seeing his look, Jing Junyang couldn’t help but laugh.

“Old Du, that’s not fair, is it? How can you not share the good stuff with your brothers? Just how much do you have on your computer? Send me a few.”

Talk about hitting a nerve!

Du Fan rolled his eyes at Jing Junyang and squeezed past You Chen to pour the coffee he had just made into his own cup.

You Chen wasn’t annoyed; he poured some more coffee beans into the coffee machine and pressed the start button again.

Jing Junyang didn’t ask him for more adult videos but just patted him on the shoulder with heartfelt advice, “Old Du, look at you, nearly thirty and still blushing when you talk to women. Relying on videos to relieve yourself isn’t going to cut it in the long run. How about this, I introduce you to a girlfriend?”

Du Fan stirred his coffee with a wooden expression and didn’t even glance at Jing Junyang.

Jing Junyang was used to his ways and continued, “She is the daughter of my mom’s friend, completely vetted, from a decent family. The only issue is her age, she’s just twenty years old this year and is a swimmer…”

“Pfft…”

He hadn’t even finished speaking when You Chen, who had just taken a sip of coffee, spat it out, followed by a bout of coughing.

Jing Junyang gave him a glance and ignored him, keeping up his attempt to persuade Du Fan, “Someone reserved and a bit secretive like you should go for a younger, lively girl…”

“Cough, cough, cough, cough…”

You Chen’s coughs grew louder…

…

When Mu Jiawen opened her eyes, it was already nine in the evening; hunger had woken her up.

“Awake?”

A familiar voice sounded at her ear. Mu Jiawen slowly turned her head, her eyes gradually focusing. Just as she was about to speak, her stomach preempted her with a gurgling sound.

Jiang Yan couldn’t help but let out a muffled laugh and asked, “Do you want to go out to eat, or should we have food delivered here?”

“What time is it?”

She turned to look out the window and saw that it was completely dark outside. They were on the twelfth floor, and she could just make out the specks of stars in the distant sky.

Hm, it’s going to be another sunny day tomorrow.

“Nine o’clock, it’s not too late.”

“Not too late?” Mu Jiawen exclaimed, “From one o’clock in the afternoon until now, nine hours… Let’s go, let’s eat out and take a stroll.”

The two dressed and went downstairs. As they left, Jiang Yan had one arm around Mu Jiawen’s waist and whispered in her ear, “Does it still hurt?”

Seeing her awkward movements getting out of bed, he knew he had been too rough with her in the afternoon. He hadn’t originally planned to go out, preferring her to continue sleeping.

But clearly, this girl didn’t want to lie down anymore.

Mu Jiawen glanced at him and responded irritably, “What do you think?”

Jiang Yan gave an embarrassed laugh and promised, “I won’t touch you tonight.”

Mu Jiawen snorted coldly, not quite believing him.

Because it was late, they chose to dine at the hotel.

After all, their reason for coming here wasn’t to hunt for some unique local snacks.

After they had their fill, it was already ten o’clock at night.

They hadn’t planned on walking far, having heard there was some lake nearby where a refreshing breeze blew in the evenings.

So they leisurely strolled over.

August was the hottest month of summer, with scorching heat rolling in waves during both the day and night, extremely sweltering.

But once they arrived at this scenic park lake, they found, just as the hotel staff had said, that the breeze over the lake was indeed refreshing and invigorating.

“Feels so cool.”

Jiang Yan also felt very comfortable here.

They had intended to wander around for more than half an hour before returning, but they hadn’t gone far when someone called out Jiang Yan’s name.

“Senior Jiang Yan?”

Surprised, both of them turned around, and even before clearly seeing who it was, they were already muttering inwardly, “How can we run into someone we know even on a trip out of town?”

Is the world really that small?

However, when Jiang Yan saw the girl leaning against the railing by the lake who had called him, he was stunned. Who was she?

He instinctively explained to Mu Jiawen, “I don’t know her.”

Mu Jiawen and the girl both froze at the same time.

Then, with one looking puzzled and the other’s cheeks flushed red, they both felt extremely embarrassed.

“I—I’m Si Tian.”

After hearing the name, Mu Jiawen was the first to remember who she was: a few years ago, she had caused trouble for Qi Lihong in their dormitory, rumored to be the daughter-in-law chosen by Liu Wenhui’s mother.

However, Liu Wenhui’s firm stance and his harsh words later led his mother to back off, and Si Tian stopped seeking him out.

After all, there were plenty of outstanding guys at Beijing University; why should she hang on to just one?

But what became of her after, they did not know.

“What are you doing here?”

There were a few other people with Si Tian, both men and women, appearing to be around the same age, probably high school friends.

When Jiang Yan said he didn’t know her a moment ago, two girls looked at her with a hint of ridicule.

But Si Tian seemed more mature than before, unfazed. After introducing herself, she stepped forward and started making small talk with them, “Are you here for a trip? Why didn’t you tell Tiger Bro? He came back just yesterday. He was born and raised in Kang City and is very familiar with the area. How about this, I’ll call him and have him come to be your guide.”

Without waiting for Jiang Yan and Mu Jiawen to react, she promptly took out her phone, swiftly found the contact, and dialed.

Her movements were smooth and fluid, too quick for anyone to intervene.

Jiang Yan and Mu Jiawen weren’t foolish, could they not see she was using his name as a pretext to invite Liu Wenhui?

What was the point, really?

They thought she was calling Liu Wenhui, but the moment the call connected, they heard her saying, “Godmother, is Tiger Bro at home? I’ve run into Tiger Bro’s squad leader at Lingyun Lake, he’s also his boss. Could you let him know and have him come over?”

Whatever was said on the other end seemed to embarrass Si Tian, then she turned away, her voice deliberately lowered, but the two of them could still hear her clearly, “Godmother, please don’t say that. It’s not that he insists on keeping Tiger Bro working with him, it’s that Tiger Bro himself doesn’t want to come back… He started his own business when he was a freshman, he’s really amazing…”

Jiang Yan watched Si Tian and couldn’t help but snicker, clearly, she had intended to call Liu Wenhui’s mother all along, clearly she wanted him to hear, yet she feigned discretion by lowering her voice. While praising him openly, she was actually stoking the fires…

Jiang Yan shook his head, not quite understanding girls like Si Tian. Was it really necessary to resort to such maneuvers?

It was just an internet cafe; he wasn’t adamant about having Liu Wenhui.

But it was the first time he’d learned that because Liu Wenhui’s mother wanted her son to stay in Beijing, he even bore the brunt of her resentment.
