Chapter 178 - 172 Tracing II
"Is... is that so?" Jiang Nan whispered. She had always been this way, feigning composure on the surface while actually being extremely flustered inside. In special moments, she always became incredibly shy and nervous, especially since she was naturally introverted.
However, since last Chinese New Year, when she mustered the courage to hold Lin Fei’s hand, Jiang Nan seemed to have undergone some inexplicable change.
"Feifei, brother."
"What’s wrong?" Lin Fei asked softly.
"My current salary, along with various benefits and bonuses, adds up to about fifteen hundred. But school is about to start. I..." She hesitated. But in the end, she spoke up. "I don’t want to go to school anymore. After all, those university graduates earn about the same as I do."
"What are you talking about?" Lin Fei’s expression became serious. "Continuing your education is your priority. This job is after all not a long-term thing; it can at best be considered part-time."
"But..." Jiang Nan trailed off, wanting to say more but stopping herself.
"Enough. Once school starts, attend your classes diligently. When I have time, I will come to visit you." Jiang Nan’s school was near No. 3 Middle School, but due to a family incident, she could no longer attend the prestigious private school she used to. She was now studying at the high school section of the municipal No. 7 Middle School near No. 3 Middle School. No. 7 was rather chaotic, but the tuition fees were very cheap. This was Jiang Nan’s own decision; she insisted on using her salary to cover tuition and daily expenses.
Jiang Nan was typically soft on the outside but tough on the inside. That she would say such things now clearly indicated that she was experiencing some trouble that led to this escapist thought. Lin Fei silently took note, as he cared about Jiang Nan far more than he did about Lin You. After all, whether in his past life or the current one, Jiang Nan had the closest relationship with him.
"I need to find some time to visit No. 7 and check on Nannan’s situation," Lin Fei said, looking at Jiang Nan beside him, feeling slightly worried.
