Chapter 53: Everyone in the Library Has Their Own Tasks to Do

The university library, a magical place brimming with knowledge.

Here, everyone has their own business to attend to.

Mages refining elixirs, paper dolls reserving seats… it's like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each displaying their own divine powers!

Of course, most people are seriously preparing for exams.

But there's no shortage of people preparing for pregnancy either. In short, everyone has a bright future!

Jiang Linyuan and Jiang Zhiyao had agreed on a time in advance and arrived at the library right on the dot.

From a distance, Jiang Zhiyao was hugging a book, reading it seriously. The sunlight by the window sprinkled down in specks, painting a picture of serene and peaceful times.

A picture of a tranquil literary beauty. As expected of my sister, she almost looks better than me.

Jiang Linyuan naturally sat down beside her. His peripheral vision accidentally caught the book's title, and his expression instantly cracked.

"Divorce, Then Become the Dog of a Magical Girl"

Sis, what kind of stuff are you reading! Let me see, I need to criticize it too!

Jiang Linyuan craned his head over. Jiang Zhiyao glanced at him but didn't say anything.

After all, they were in the library, a place where even breathing too loudly might get you posted online.

Neither of them said a word, huddled together over one book, reading with great relish.

After a while, Yu Songsong arrived fashionably late. Seeing the two sitting so close together, her originally good morning mood instantly soured.

"Senior, what are you two looking at?"

She lowered her voice and sat down opposite them.

Jiang Zhiyao looked at her, noticed the assets she herself did not possess, narrowed her eyes, and stomped on Jiang Linyuan's foot.

Jiang Linyuan looked at her expression and roughly understood her meaning.

Sis, don't lose confidence. Even though you have no chest, you have an older brother. There's still a future for you.

Jiang Zhiyao watched his confident look, not knowing what wind he had caught. She turned to Yu Songsong and wrote a note to pass over:

"You're a freshman? How do you know Jiang Linyuan?"

Seeing her get straight to the point, Yu Songsong gave a disdainful smile and said sweetly:

"Senior, guess?"

Great, a Green Tea. Immediate pass.

"I'm going to the restroom."

Jiang Zhiyao was very satisfied with Yu Songsong's answer. She stood up and then pulled Jiang Linyuan away.

Yu Songsong was dumbfounded.

Is a unisex restroom trendy now?

What kind of excuse is that! If you two have something to say, just say it! Do you think I'm an idiot!

...

Once they reached the stairwell, Jiang Zhiyao immediately delivered her verdict.

"This Yu Songsong, you can block her."

She looked exactly like the kind of single dog who goes online, sees a couple showing off their affection, gets jealous, and advises them to break up rather than make up.

"We're both in the Student Union. We'll see each other all the time. Blocking her isn't good."

Jiang Linyuan naturally couldn't listen to Jiang Zhiyao.

Your big bro is grinding a dungeon right now, the rewards are about to drop, don't mess this up.

Hearing this, Jiang Zhiyao remembered Yu Songsong's expansive bosom. She looked at him and sneered:

"See each other all the time? Which 'head' are you raising?"

I raise your...

Jiang Linyuan swallowed the words he was about to spit out.

Same origin as the enemy, cannot be targeted.

"Sis! What kind of person do you think I am?! Am I that shallow!"

Jiang Linyuan retorted:

"I know you're insecure, but your insecurity..."

"Shut up!"

Jiang Zhiyao pinched Jiang Linyuan's arm and said:

"I really don't understand. At your age, why are you always thinking about dating!"

"This period is the core time for you to work hard and improve yourself! Wait until later..."

"Those who haven't dated shouldn't talk."

Jiang Linyuan directly cut her off, his face full of disdain:

"You're lecturing your own brother now?"

Jiang Zhiyao looked at him and laughed in anger:

"Let's not talk about anything else, let's talk about reality. Dating costs money, right! A normal girl is fine, but with the kind that treats you like an ATM, aren't you afraid your wallet will be sucked dry?"

Finally... this day has come.

Ever since he started trading stocks, how Jiang Linyuan had longed for someone to give him a chance to show off.

Unfortunately, no one ever picked a fight.

"Sis, do you know what a stock god is?"

Jiang Zhiyao was stunned and asked:

"You've caught the stock trading bug?"

A brother who trades stocks, a mom who buys gold, a dad who bets on football matches, and a me who studies medicine...

My life is like walking on thin ice. Tell me, can I reach the other shore?

Jiang Zhiyao's expression turned grave:

"Speak. How much did you lose? I still have enough living expenses here, and I have my part-time job money too..."

"Lose?"

Jiang Linyuan laughed heartily, no longer holding back his aura. He took out his phone, the screen glowing red.

Stable profits!

Jiang Zhiyao glanced at his phone and asked:

"Which app did you use to photoshop this?"

"You'd rather believe this is photoshopped than believe it's your brother's skill?"

Jiang Linyuan opened his stock trading account right in front of her.

Let her open her Jiang eyes wide and see clearly.

Jiang Zhiyao fell silent for a moment, forced to accept the fact, and slowly said:

"Your luck is pretty good."

"It's skill!"

"Hmph, the skill to be someone's ATM?"

Jiang Zhiyao said again.

Ah, this Haji Yao, how can she be so stubborn!

Jiang Linyuan said discontentedly:

"What ATM? Your brother has been through countless battles. I've always been the one blowing up other people's gold coins, never the one self-destructing!"

Hearing this, Jiang Zhiyao finally nodded reluctantly and said with great difficulty:

"You should still find a girl with a more normal personality to date."

"If you ask me, that girl who gave you water last time is even better than this Yu Songsong."

Sis, if you don't want your eyes, you can donate them to your brother. Maybe I can even unlock a Mangekyō Sharingan.

What kind of taste is that?

"Sis, your brother usually hasn't offended you much, right? No need to harm me like this."

Jiang Linyuan said.

Jiang Zhiyao sneered, just about to say something, when Jiang Linyuan suddenly received a WeChat call.

Jiang Linyuan looked, huh, Binary Little Sister?

She's calling me on her own initiative, that's rare.

Jiang Linyuan told Jiang Zhiyao to be quiet and answered the call.

"Senior, are you busy today?"

Straight to the point with the question. Binary Little Sister is quite direct.

Jiang Linyuan said:

"Does Xiao Yilin need something?"

Lin Yilin hemmed and hawed on the other end, sounding a bit embarrassed:

"I saw a horror movie online with great reviews. I don't really dare to go alone. Senior, do you want to go with me?"

Huh?

This doesn't sound like something Xiao Yilin would say. Who gave her this advice?

What kind of lousy strategist is that.

"Just the two of us?"

Jiang Linyuan asked.

There was a pause of one or two seconds on Lin Yilin's end before a firm voice came through:

"Mhm."

Alright, I'm completely in Xiao Yilin's sights now.

Jiang Linyuan said with a grin:

"Sure."

"Mhm mhm mhm, then I'll send you the time tonight, Senior! I'll hang up first."

Lin Yilin's excitement was palpable even through the screen.

After hanging up, Jiang Zhiyao stared at him:

"Xiao Yilin? You're multi-tasking?"

"Mhm, they're all friends."

Jiang Linyuan looked bashful.

Who could refuse a girl whose eyes are full of you, clumsily inviting you to watch a movie?

Yu Songsong is work, Xiao Yilin is life.

What's his relationship with Lin Yilin?

Don't ask. If you ask, we're just friends.
