Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Jiang Cheng Carries His Own Traffic
Because Jiang Cheng’s exams were scheduled relatively early, even after treating Yue Linger and Cheng Bingxin to lunch, when he returned home, it was just noon.
As an artist in time management, Jiang Cheng always managed and arranged his time well.
For example, he usually fed Snake around noon, so he would subconsciously control the pace of his activities when outside.
This led to his returning home around noon.
Jiang Cheng placed the little cake he had packed from Immortal Sect Tea House on the table and said to Liu Qing, “This is for lunch. I just ate with Yue, so I won’t join you.”
Hearing Jiang Cheng would not be eating, Liu Qing on the balcony did not even feel the desire to move.
She didn’t need to eat anyway; if Jiang Cheng wasn’t eating, there was no necessity for her to eat alone.
Seeing Snake motionless, Jiang Cheng thought something was wrong.
“Liu Qing, this cake is quite tasty. If it’s left out too long, it will affect the flavor. It’s better to eat it now.”
“Not hungry.”
“Eating meals on time is a good habit. It prevents stomach diseases.”
Stomach disease?
Liu Qing had never heard of the term “stomach disease” before, and as far as she knew, no snake had ever suffered from such an ailment.
“It won’t happen,” she said.
Even though Jiang Cheng was officially the boss, he did not have the nerve to force a powerful monster to do anything.
Without any other option, since Liu Qing didn’t want to eat, Jiang Cheng put the cake in the refrigerator and said, “I’ve put it in the fridge. Remember to eat when you’re hungry. There are no assessments this afternoon, so I’m going to cultivate for a while in my room.”
“Okay.”
Once Jiang Cheng returned to his room, Liu Qing on the balcony sun lounger turned over.
She looked at the empty, quiet living room and unconsciously furrowed her brows slightly.
Lately, Jiang Cheng was always out early and back late, and once home, he diligently practiced cultivation. With no one to talk to and nothing to work on, she felt quite bored.
Liu Qing sat up from the sun lounger, stretching her slender arms upward, displaying an unhealthy posture with abandon.
“Hmm~”
She stretched languidly, eyes on Jiang Cheng’s room.
The walls were no impediment to her sight; if she wanted to, she could see everything Jiang Cheng was doing clearly.
Watching Jiang Cheng diligently cultivating, Liu Qing wondered, could it be that once Jiang Cheng advanced in his practice, he would be free to spend time with her?
Speeding up the cultivation of someone in the Qi Cultivation Stage was nothing more than the flick of a finger for Liu Qing.
However, she knew that Jiang Cheng was a down-to-earth person who didn’t like shortcuts.
Helping him improve his cultivation level without his consent might lead to his dislike.
Liu Qing thought it would be better to wait on her own rather than risking Jiang Cheng’s disapproval.
She preferred to be bored herself than to cause trouble for a friend.
Jiang Cheng had been so kind to her; she could not let her own whims disrupt him on the sly.
Perhaps staying quiet was the best help she could offer him.
Liu Qing thought so under the sun.
Inside the bedroom, Jiang Cheng answered the communication talisman; it was a call from Yue Linger.
Yue Linger: “Jiang Cheng, sorry, my friend, she’s too lively.”
“No problem. She’s your friend after all, and it’s my responsibility to take good care of her.”
“If you don’t want to do it next time, just refuse her directly.”
“Wouldn’t that put you in a difficult position, Yue?”
“No, no. As long as it doesn’t inconvenience you.”
Jiang Cheng spoke sincerely, “It’s not a bother at all. The friend of Yue is also my friend, and she’s welcome to visit me anytime.”
Yue Linger quickly intervened to stop Jiang Cheng’s dangerous thought, “Don’t ever say that in front of her, she’ll take it seriously and actually go!”
On the balcony, Liu Qing blinked her eyes.
Then, a small bird miraculously passed through the balcony’s glass and landed at Liu Qing’s feet.
“Chirp, chirp,” it said.
“I’m fine, I’m doing well,” Liu Qing told the little bird.
“Chirp, chirp,” the bird spoke again.
“Don’t worry.”
“Chirp.”
“Alright.”
The little bird hopped twice, passed through the glass again, and flew away under Liu Qing’s gaze.
Communication talismans are a common method of contact among the Human Race, but they’re not suitable for all kinds of communication.
For example, for long-distance and ultra-long-distance communication, as well as for encrypted contacts, and so on.
Similarly, the Demon Race naturally has its own means of communication.
Especially in situations where stealthy encryption and long distances are required.
After all, compared to the Human Race, the Demon Race is weaker and less keen on overt operations. Moreover, the distance between Liang Kingdom and Mount Tian is not a short one.
On September 22nd, 3210 of the Liang Calendar, Jiang Cheng participated in the third day of the new student assessment.
If nothing unexpected happens, today would also be the last day of his assessment as a new student.
This morning, the assessment is for “hands-on ability,” and in the afternoon, “decryption.”
After the assessments, new students from other batches will continue with their tests on scheduled dates, but Jiang Cheng’s first batch only needs to wait for the class placement results on September 30th, and the official enrollment is on October 1st.
Based on Jiang Cheng’s estimation, even with three perfect scores, his situation is still not optimistic. He needs to score at least sixty or higher in the next two assessments to confidently enter Lotus Cloud University.
Now that the journey is more than halfway completed, there is certainly no reason to quit halfway.
Free from arrogance and impatience, striving to pass the test with one final effort, is Jiang Cheng’s way of doing things.
Before Jiang Cheng and a host of candidates arrived at the “hands-on ability” exam venue, Lotus University’s venue for the “hands-on ability” test was already packed with people.
College students, well, they understand.
In all fields, some are busy to death, others idle to death, some parched to death, and some flooded to death.
Some are busy with the student council, submitting homework, competing, or socializing.
Some are one short of a foursome today, and tomorrow they wake up late, and the day after: Teacher, I’m poor, please help.jpg.
Not to mention romantic relationships.
Some can redeem their hotel spending points for a national travel ticket.
Others scratch their heads and ask, “Can I take the candy on the nightstand? How many eights in the secret love code?”
The news of Jiang Cheng “taking on four people single-handedly” and “fighting so well that Mr. Mao admitted defeat voluntarily” spread yesterday, immediately causing a sensation among the fun-loving crowd at Lotus University.
It also quickly became a topic of conversation in many seniors’ and juniors’ dorms.
Had Jiang Cheng simply been strong, in fact, no one would have cared.
Lotus University, lacking everything but exceptional students, would not be interested.
But the most important thing about Jiang Cheng is that he’s both “handsome” and “funny,” satisfying the vast public’s desire for pleasant aesthetics, while also providing a laugh with his refined sensibilities.
Students like Jiang Cheng, who inherently carry the germ of artistry and a natural talent for creating a stir, truly come once in a century.
Just as the famous thinker Lei Buxiao realized in “On Jiang Cheng.”
When Jiang Cheng is in front of you, you can’t resist the urge to beat him; but when he’s on your team, everything suddenly becomes wonderful.
Anyway, they’re here for entertainment, not as the recruiting teachers, so naturally, the more fun, the better.
