Chapter 54: Are You Not Full?

September 20th, Saturday, sunny.

For three or four days, Jiang Miao didn’t meet Senior Sister much.

The only exception was the debate team’s mock debate on Thursday, where he had shown up for a short time before leaving to play in a basketball game.

So there hadn’t been much time to gather material with Senior Sister these past few days.

The main reason was a lack of time.

Su Huaizhou, in her second year, had a packed schedule. Even if she had some free time, it was taken up by the debate team, the Youth Association, or working on art commissions.

As a result, most of their interactions were limited to brief chats on WeChat.

As for Jiang Miao, even though he didn’t have many classes, he still had to write every day.

With a minimum of 3,000 words, it took him at least two hours to write, but it usually ended up being three to four hours.

Factoring in this time, his schedule wasn’t much different from a full course load. At best, his time was a bit more flexible.

But actively seeking out Senior Sister for material would be too shameless…

He really couldn’t bring himself to do it.

But on Saturday, the situation changed.

[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: Are you awake?

[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: Hurry up. We agreed on this!

[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: If you don’t get up, I’ll go upstairs to find you!

Early in the morning, Jiang Miao was woken up by his phone vibrating. He groggily reached for his phone and saw the messages from Senior Sister.

He glanced at the time and couldn’t help covering his face.

[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: Senior Sister, it’s only six-thirty…

[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: Didn’t we agree to meet at eight?

[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: Yes, but you have to prepare properly for a date! Plus, we need to have breakfast. Time is tight!

Jiang Miao: “…”

[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: I don’t need to put on makeup.

[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: But you still need to shave, wash your face with cleanser, style your hair, and pick the right outfit. There are so many things to do!

[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: I think you have some misunderstandings about how guys get ready before going out.

[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: Besides, aren’t we just going to be wingmen for Senior Sister Shen and Senior Zhang?

[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: That was before. Now, the plan has changed. Apart from being wingmen, we have to get material for you.

[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: ???

[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: Wait! Senior Sister, there’s a problem!

[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: What?

[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: Didn’t we agree not to let anyone know? What if we… hold hands and they see us? What should we do then? Sёarch* The Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: So we just make sure we don’t get caught.

[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: Besides, aren’t you working on that plotline?

[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: You know, the one where the female lead plans to go home and record a video with the male lead of their parents’ reaction when they reveal their relationship. But in fact, both moms already know.

[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: Today’s a good chance for you to experience what it feels like to hide a relationship.

Jiang Miao sat on his bed, silently looking at the message from Senior Sister, unable to come up with a response.

What should I do?

What Senior Sister said makes sense. How can I reject her?

Of course, I can only agree.

After all… it’s just for material…



[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: Then we have to be careful. If there’s any chance we’re discovered, we absolutely can’t hold hands.

[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: Don’t worry. One is socially anxious, and the other is afraid of girls. There’s no way their attention will be on us.

I hope so… Jiang Miao sighed but soon felt a surge of excitement.

The thought of holding Senior Sister’s soft and tender hand again made him feel wide awake. He turned over, climbed down from this bed, and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Even though it was only 6:30 a.m., Chen Haoshang and Wang Xin were already gone.

One of his roommates went out every day without anyone knowing where, while the other went religiously to the library every weekend.

As for Xun Liang, he had completely given in to laziness.

Now, except for attending morning classes, he basically slept until eight or nine every morning.

“Brother Jiang?”

When Jiang Miao came out of the bathroom after washing up, he saw Xun Liang poking his head out in a daze from his loft bed.

“Why are you up so early? Isn’t it Saturday?”

“I have some stuff to do. I’ll be back tonight,” Jiang Miao replied while giving his face a quick shave. Then he grabbed a clean white T-shirt and a pair of loose camouflage pants with many pockets from his wardrobe.

“Uh?” Xun Liang immediately became fully awake. His dog food radar found something unusual. “Brother Jiang, I have a question. You woke up so early on the weekend. Are you going on a date?”

“You’re thinking too much.” Jiang Miao shook his head.

Was he going on a date?

No!

He was going to gather material!

How could gathering material be called a date?

“How boring.” Xun Liang shook his head and lay back down. “Brother Jiang, you have to work harder and quickly bring back Senior Sister.”

“Senior Sister and I—”

“Yeah, yeah!” Xun Liang imitated Jiang Miao’s tone and shouted, “Senior Sister and I don’t have that kind of relationship!”

“Screw you!” Jiang Miao jumped up and aimed a playful slap at him, but Xun Liang dodged nimbly.

“Feeling guilty, huh?!” Xun Liang hooted and laughed. “Brother Jiang, why are you so shy? If you’re pursuing a girl, you should strike when it’s time! Especially with your looks, don’t waste your face.”

“Get lost.” Jiang Miao couldn’t be bothered with him. He tidied his collar, grabbed his phone, and left.

[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: Senior Sister, I’m on my way. How long will you take?

[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: Almost ready. You go to the cafeteria first.

[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: What would you like to eat? I’ll get it for you.

[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: Just a bowl of congee with some pickled vegetables.

[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: Okay. What about Senior Sister Shen?

[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: Don’t worry about her. Let Zhang Panfeng deal with it.

…

At around seven o’clock, Jiang Miao finished breakfast, and Su Huaizhou and Shen Yu finally arrived.

At this moment, Zhang Panfeng also arrived and bought breakfast for Shen Yu. The four of them sat around a table and discussed their plans while eating breakfast.

Jiang Miao, being the youngest, quietly listened to the arrangements. He had already finished breakfast but was too shy to look at his phone in front of the three seniors, so he could only watch Senior Sister eat her congee.

Su Huaizhou had light makeup on today, with light-colored lip gloss on her lips, making her look even more exquisite and charming.

But what truly captivated Jiang Miao was that Senior Sister had let her long hair down.



Usually, she had a high ponytail, giving her a refreshing and energetic look.

But today, with her black, silk-like hair cascading over her shoulders, paired with her delicate makeup and the beauty mark at the corner of her eye, she looked even more alluring and graceful.

Even the line of white on her upper lip from eating congee looked endearing and tempting, leaving Jiang Miao in a daze.

“Junior Brother, are you not full?” Su Huaizhou noticed his gaze and asked with a smile, “Do you want some?”

Jiang Miao instinctively avoided her gaze and quickly declined, “No, no… thank you, Senior Sister.”
