Lu Qingyan stopped playing basketball.
He looked toward the entrance.
Jiang Nanshu had a look of utter despair as his gaze fell on Su Ran.
When he felt her eyes on him, Lu Qingyan quickly averted his gaze.
"Yun Chuan, your sister is here," Yang Jiashu nudged Jiang Yunchuan with his elbow.
Jiang Yunchuan had known already; he had noticed when he heard his sister’s thoughts.
He looked at Su Ran, who seemed as pure as a goddess, and couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
Because Su Ran had come to the finance department, Lu Qingyan’s books, which she had knocked over in the morning, he hadn’t asked for any of them back.
He was going to register for the international mathematics competition in a while, and the workbook contained all the problems he had worked on.
Not wanting to encounter Su Ran again, he had called the two of them here to play basketball in the indoor gym. He didn’t expect that less than half an hour in, Su Ran would be escorted in; Cheng An was a devoted guardian of flowers.
And the reason for Su Ran’s presence was that she had taken up a part-time role as a "trainee teacher" for the dance department.
She was asked to spare a fraction of her time to teach these freshman students to dance.
Even though their meeting was accidental, the coincidence was uncanny.
But since Lu Qingyan hadn’t said anything, they could only pretend they hadn’t seen them and continue playing basketball.
What they hadn’t expected was that Jiang Nanshu was here too!
Those unaware would think Lu Qingyan was there intentionally.
Jiang Yunchuan saw Jiang Nanshu’s look, wiped his sweat, and asked quietly, "Brother Yan, should I explain things to my sister?"
Lu Qingyan tossed the basketball to someone else, lifted his shirt to wipe his sweat, and said coolly, "No need."
Yang Jiashu: "..." Is it really that hard to say a few more words?
He was tired of seeing the scenes of carnage that ensued every time Jiang Nanshu bumped into Su Ran.
And that idiot Cheng An.
Standing in the dance area like a lovelorn fool.
He never knew that their elite circles really did produce such lapdogs; the former Jiang Yunchuan was one of them.
Chasing Lin Yueyue for two years, messaging her daily without fail, perhaps it’s that flawed nature of men, desiring what they can’t have—greeting her every single day, buying gifts even for Lin Yueyue’s distant cousin.
Licking boots to no end.
But now, it seemed he had an epiphany overnight.
Of course, what qualitative change had occurred to Jiang Yunchuan, the lapdog, was beyond his knowledge.
Then there was the other lapdog, Cheng An.
It wasn’t so obvious three years ago when they were still in high school.
Just that he would take extra care of Su Ran, under the noble claim of looking after "sister-in-law."
In their circle, Su Ran and Lu Qingyan were regarded as an item long ago.
After Lu Qingyan and Su Ran went their separate ways, Cheng An also sulked and lay low for a while.
Only when Su Ran returned to the country did he become active again.
Su Ran’s exact return was three months prior, parachuting into a network drama crew; at that time, she had only contacted Cheng An. Later, when the time was right, the news of her return was fully blown.
The next day, Jiang Nanshu attempted suicide by jumping into the river.
