Chapter 63: Crap, Exposed!

9 p.m.

The movie Island Keeper came to an end.

The Easter egg at the end of the movie was a real-life scene of Wang Jicai and his wife holding a red flag.

Su Huaizhou’s eyes were red, clearly from having cried more than once.

Although Jiang Miao was deeply touched, he didn’t shed tears.

As the lights in the theater came on, everyone looked around and found the seats empty.

Jiang Miao sighed.

It seemed this movie didn’t have much support.

Of course, it might have been due to the lack of promotion for the premiere.

The two of them were still immersed in the lingering emotions from the movie when they suddenly heard footsteps approaching. Startled, they immediately let go of each other’s hands.

With a swish, Su Huaizhou returned to the leftmost position and pretended to be calm as she casually stroked her hair. Then she looked about to leave, stretching slightly before standing up.

Jiang Miao followed suit, getting up and walking towards the aisle.

As he moved, he glanced at Senior Sister Shen Yu and immediately revealed a surprised gaze. He reached out to pull Senior Sister’s gauze shawl.

“Hmm? What is it?” Su Huaizhou, walking in front, turned her head back in confusion.

Jiang Miao didn’t say anything and only pointed behind him.

Her gaze passed him and landed on Shen Yu and Zhang Panfeng.

To be precise, it landed on their holding hands.

“There’s really progress?” Su Huaizhou was a little surprised but didn’t ask to avoid affecting the atmosphere between the two.

She still vaguely remembered her role as a wingman, so she walked out of the theater while taking out her phone.

[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: How about we go back separately later? Give you two some space.

[I Am Studying]: Sure!

After reaching a friendly agreement, the two parted ways at the exit of the theater.

“Senior Sister, aren’t we going together?” Jiang Miao asked in puzzlement while watching Shen Yu and Zhang Panfeng walk off hand in hand.

“They’ve finally made some progress, so it’s better if we don’t disturb them,” Su Huaizhou said with a smile. “Come on, let’s go check out a few more stores.”

“Okay.” Jiang Miao didn’t mind either way.

In any case, he had already written a chapter in advance yesterday. Tonight, he would go back and write some more. If he finished the remaining chapter before midnight, he would release the two chapters for today. If not, he would release one chapter and save the other for tomorrow.

Anyway, during the new novel period, it didn’t really matter if he was not fully punctual.

Seeing Shen Yu and Zhang Panfeng walk away and disappear around the corner, Su Huaizhou and Jiang Miao instinctively looked at each other and then awkwardly looked away.

Neither of them said anything, but the next second, their hands naturally found each other and intertwined.

“When is your book going premium?” Su Huaizhou asked while leading the way.

“This week is the Category Spotlight. If things go smoothly, it’ll advance to the Six Categories Recommendations and the Galaxy Recommendations,” Jiang Miao replied. “The Galaxy Recommendations are released on Friday, and there should be a Featured New Arrivals recommendation on the homepage.”

“So, when will it be?” Su Huaizhou asked curiously.

“Hmm…” Jiang Miao took out his phone and checked the calendar.

Today was Saturday, September 20th.

Next week would be September 22nd to 28th, and the week after that would be September 29th to October 5th.

“It should go premium on October 3rd.”

“I see~” Su Huaizhou nodded. “It happens to be during the National Day holiday. That’s pretty nice.”

“Yes, it is nice.” Jiang Miao smiled wryly. “But it’s also when big shots gather.”



Every year, during summer vacation, National Day, and winter vacation, there were peak periods of traffic. Many big shots would plan for their works to go premium during these periods to achieve better results.

Jiang Miao managed to catch the wave this time and hoped to get some soup.

Actually, it wasn’t too bad for his book to go premium on October 3rd.

The most popular books would go premium on October 1st, so his book would avoid direct competition by releasing two days later.

“I’ll order some boba first, then go buy some snacks and cakes, and then come back to get the boba,” Su Huaizhou said while using her phone. “What do you want to drink?”

“Grass jelly is fine.”

“Okay.”

Jiang Miao glanced at Senior Sister’s phone and couldn’t help asking, “Why did you buy five cups?”

“I have to get them for my roommates.” Su Huaizhou turned her head and asked, “Do you want to get some for your roommates?”

“Hmm… I’ll ask.” Jiang Miao took out his phone and asked in the dorm room group chat.

[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: I’m treating you to boba. Let me know what you want. If you don’t say anything, I’ll assume you’re fine with grass jelly.

[Ranran’s Dog]: Brother Jiang! Oreo! Love you!

[Wash Hands Often]: Regular bubble tea for me, no pearls.

After waiting a few minutes without receiving a reply from Chen Haoshang, Jiang Miao turned to Senior Sister. “Two grass jellies, one Oreo, and one regular boba without pearls. How much is it?”

“Sixty-four.” Su Huaizhou looked at the price of four cups of bubble tea and smiled. “Why order boba without pearls?”

“Uh…” Jiang Miao didn’t understand Wang Xin’s reason either. “Probably a cleanliness thing? He feels the pearls aren’t clean?”

After ordering the bubble tea, the two of them arrived at a store that specialized in imported snacks.

This store was quite famous on Sky Street. It was especially popular with women because it offered many low-sugar, low-fat yet delicious snacks.

Su Huaizhou picked some of her and her roommate’s favorite snacks and recommended a few to Jiang Miao. After paying, they continued to the cake shop.

By the time they bought some small cakes and went to the bubble tea shop to get the bubble tea, it was almost 9:40 p.m.

There weren’t many customers at the bubble tea shop currently, but delivery riders were constantly coming and going.

One by one, they ran in sweating profusely, picked up their bubble tea orders, and hurried out breathlessly.

Su Huaizhou, holding Jiang Miao’s hand, approached the counter. “Excuse me, is order thirty-three ready?”

“Thirty-three, here you go.” The server handed over two large bags of bubble tea.

Su Huaizhou took one bag, and Jiang Miao took the other.

Suddenly, a young man in a Meituan delivery uniform rushed to the counter and said slightly out of breath, “Meituan fifty-eight.”

Jiang Miao, who was about to leave, stopped when he heard the voice and looked at the counter.

When the delivery man received his order and turned to leave, Jiang Miao’s eyes widened, and he blurted out without thinking, “Chen Haoshang?”

Chen Haoshang, whose hair was drenched, froze in his tracks and turned to look at Jiang Miao, stunned.

The next second, he quickly pulled up the mask hanging under his chin and covered his mouth and nose.

But looking at the way Jiang Miao was looking at him, he knew he had been recognized.

However, just as Jiang Miao was looking at him in surprise, Chen Haoshang, now masked, paused as his gaze landed on Jiang Miao and Su Huaizhou’s intertwined hands.

When he looked at Su Huaizhou again, he fell into a daze. Isn’t she our class assistant, Senior Sister Su?



Noticing Chen Haoshang’s gaze, Jiang Miao shuddered and hurriedly let go of Senior Sister’s hand.

But it was too late.

Crap.

Both Jiang Miao and Chen Haoshang felt a sinking sensation in their hearts as they thought the same thing at the same time.
