Jiang Tang picked out a grilled sausage, a piece of sweet plum-flavored fried chicken cutlet, a bucket of popcorn, and an ice cream.
These things were incredibly delicious.
Shen Xiunian sat leisurely across from Jiang Tang, his gaze fixed on her the entire time. She was adorable.
Jiang Tang paused for a moment. Did Shen Xiunian want some popcorn?
She looked up at him, holding out the popcorn bucket. “Do you want some?”
He didn’t usually eat these things.
But as Shen Xiunian looked into Jiang Tang’s sparkling eyes, he found himself inexplicably reaching for a piece of popcorn and tasting it.
Jiang Tang asked softly, “Is it delicious?”
It was average.
Meeting Jiang Tang’s expectant gaze, Shen Xiunian calmly replied, “It’s delicious.”
He saw Jiang Tang smile happily.
For some reason, Shen Xiunian felt the popcorn wasn’t so average after all.
It was quite sweet.
System: “Tangtang, are you full?”
Jiang Tang: “Yes.”
She understood what the System meant, but she felt helpless. “Why hasn’t the Gold-digging Value moved at all?”
“No, no, no,” the System replied. “Tangtang, take a closer look.”
Jiang Tang looked carefully and was stunned to see that the Gold-digging Value had reached an astonishing -10!
“How can the Gold-digging Value be negative?” Jiang Tang was shocked.
System: “Tangtang, the Gold-digging Value is very important. You can’t let it keep dropping.”
Thinking about the Gold-digging Value, Jiang Tang suddenly felt anxious.
But when she looked at Shen Xiunian, she felt awkward again.
Splurging on Shen Xiunian’s card sounded great in theory, but putting it into practice was really embarrassing.
Jiang Tang even lost her appetite for popcorn.
Shen Xiunian noticed her change in mood and asked seriously, “What’s wrong?”
Jiang Tang smiled at him. “It’s nothing.”
She really couldn’t bring herself to say it. The System kept encouraging her, and after gathering her courage for a long time, Jiang Tang was finally ready to speak—but she was interrupted before she could.
“Year God! We actually ran into Year God here! How lucky are we?”
“Year God, hello! I love physics too, and I really admire you.”
“Me too, me too!”
In an instant, Jiang Tang and Shen Xiunian were surrounded by a group of middle school students.
They were a bunch of physics enthusiasts who never expected to run into Year God here, and they were all beyond excited.
Shen Xiunian greeted them.
The middle schoolers were overjoyed, shouting, “Year God, we want to get into D University too!”
D University was the top-ranked school in the country.
Shen Xiunian encouraged them.
They had a lot of questions, but Year God calmly said, “I’m on a date with this older sister here. Date time is precious, so each of you can only ask one question.”
Jiang Tang’s heart fluttered slightly.
Each of the middle schoolers asked Shen Xiunian a question, and it was clear they genuinely loved physics.
Shen Xiunian answered each one seriously.
Watching their shining eyes, Jiang Tang felt inexplicably soft-hearted.
Shen Xiunian, answering questions with such focus, was especially charming.
After everyone had asked their questions and Shen Xiunian had answered them all, Jiang Tang took out the plushies she had just won from the claw machine and gave one to each of the kids.
She said sweetly, “These are plushies Year God personally won.”
Shen Xiunian calmly corrected her. “These are plushies this older sister and I won together.”
“Wow!”
“Thank you, older sister! Thank you, Year God! This is the best gift we’ve ever received!”
The group of middle schoolers who received gifts were absolutely thrilled.
Holding their plushies, they politely said goodbye and skipped away happily.
Jiang Tang couldn’t help but smile as she watched their retreating figures.
Shen Xiunian’s gaze fell on her face. “What were you going to say just now?”
Huh? Jiang Tang was a bit surprised. Did Shen Xiunian actually notice she had something to say earlier?
But the courage she had mustered earlier had already dissipated.
She whispered softly, “It’s nothing.”
Shen Xiunian didn’t say anything more.
After a while, someone walked over and handed Shen Xiunian an exquisitely packaged gift box, then left.
Jiang Tang glanced at the person but didn’t pay much attention. However, the System began to scream.
Jiang Tang: ?
