Compared to before, when she only ate plain white rice in the cafeteria, this was clearly a significant improvement.
He guessed that it might be due to the meal card subsidy provided by the milk tea shop.
Jiang Cheng didn't intentionally strike up a conversation with Ye Wan, scrolling through his phone as he ate breakfast.
Early in the morning, Qin Fen had sent over the information on Chen Tie and Shen Lang.
Qin Fen: "I heard Chen Tie is talking big everywhere, saying he won't let this matter rest..."
Jiang Cheng: "No problem..."
Qin Fen: "I know you'll be fine, that guy is just an idiot. I'm booking a restaurant for lunch, want to come out and eat?"
Jiang Cheng: "Still no problem."
After forwarding the information sent by Qin Fen to the Security Team,
A message from Si Nian actually popped up.
Si Nian: "Big boss, thank you for the two cards. Do you have time? If you're free, I'd like to treat you to a meal."
Jiang Cheng replied playfully, "Tell me what we're eating first??"
Si Nian's reply came quickly.
Si Nian: "What do you want to eat??"
Clearly, Si Nian's replies were much more serious compared to Si Qing's.
Jiang Cheng: "Anything is fine. You guys don't have classes at noon??"
As soon as Jiang Cheng sent that, he immediately wanted to click 'unsend'.
But then he thought, wouldn't unsending it seem a bit too intentional?
Thinking this, he sent a follow-up message.
Jiang Cheng: "You don't have class at noon?"
An ordinary person seeing this message might subconsciously assume it was just a predictive text error.
However, the situation with Si Nian and Si Qing was very special.
At that moment, the two were eating breakfast in the school cafeteria, sharing Si Nian's phone as they waited for Jiang Cheng's reply.
Seeing Jiang Cheng's reply, the two immediately glanced at each other.
Si Nian frowned and asked in a serious tone, "'You guys'?? Didn't you say you didn't blow our cover??"
Si Qing hurriedly shook her head in denial, "Impossible. The two of us—even Mom and Dad get us mixed up. He's only met you once, how could he know I'm not you unless he investigated us..."
Si Nian's frown deepened as she continued, "Then why were there two milk tea cards brought back yesterday?"
"Didn't I tell you? He said the other one was a spare. I suspected it at first too, but every time I've run into him it's been a chance encounter. If he really investigated us, why wouldn't he take the initiative to ask us out??"
Hearing Si Qing's words, Si Nian went silent for a moment before nodding in agreement. But soon, she frowned again and said with some doubt, "That may be so, but I still feel something is off. He usually doesn't send me WeChat messages..."
In contrast, Si Qing appeared much more composed, reassuring Si Nian with full confidence, "What are you afraid of?? We're twins. Even if we were performing magic tricks, we'd win. I don't believe he can figure it out."
After setting a time with Si Nian, Jiang Cheng looked up at Ye Wan.
He saw that Ye Wan had also just finished the last bite of her egg.
She was now silently drinking the soy milk Jiang Cheng had bought for her.
Ye Wan's face was delicate and soft, like the first ray of morning sunlight—warm but not blinding.
Although her skin was a bit dark and even somewhat rough, her eyebrows were long and elegant, like the silhouette of distant mountains, and the slight upturn at the corners of her eyes carried a hint of stubbornness, yet remained gentle.
At first glance, because she was quite thin, her overall level of beauty didn't seem high, but upon closer inspection, her features were actually quite pretty.
