This lesbian is too good at talking! I can't afford to offend her!

Chapter 326 Wang Na and Chen Jiawang meet Chen Shuning and row a boat

On weekends, the bustling campus becomes much quieter, with only the occasional sound of bicycle bells and the chirping of sparrows.

Chen Jiawang carried the cardboard box and followed Chen Shuning towards the school gate.

"Uncle Chen, are you going to work today?"

Chen Fadada waved and responded, "Yes, Chen Shuning, are you going out?"

"Yeah! My friend and I have an appointment to go to the park." Chen Shuning instructed Chen Jiawang to put down the cardboard box, then looked up and said kindly, "Uncle, my roommate wants to set up a stall at the door. Could you please take care of it?"

Chen Fadada followed Chen Shuning's gaze and landed on Liu Zhongyu. Seeing her innocent smile and simple attire, he nodded in agreement.

"Go ahead and have fun! I'll be watching over her, and no one will give her any trouble."

Liu Zhongyu's tone was filled with gratitude: "Thank you, sir. Don't worry, I will definitely not cause you any trouble."

"Oh, good, they are all good kids."

Chen Jiawang bent down and opened the carton. He picked up the list inside and checked it in front of Liu Zhongyu.

"Comrade Liu Zhongyu, the wholesale price is on the list, you can sell it at your own discretion."

"Well, thank you!"

"Zhongyu, let's go! We'll come back early, maybe we can help you close the stall."

Liu Zhongyu waved his hands hurriedly, a smile on his face as he said, "Heping, have fun and don't worry about me. These things are not heavy, I can carry them back myself."

"Okay, if you get into trouble, just call Uncle Chen." Chen Shuning urged, "My friend and I have an appointment to meet at 8 o'clock, let's go!"

The bus carried Chen Shuning through Beijing. The ancient buildings, etched with time, acquired a sense of grandeur. The occasional brand-new building exuded a strong sense of modernity.

The interplay of old and new creates a sense of disorientation: one moment you're traveling back a century, and the next you're dragged back to the present.

"Shuning, look! That's the White Tower. Are we almost there?"

"Yes." Chen Shuning tightened his grip on his shoulder bag and said with a smile, "Get ready, let's get off the bus."

There was a constant stream of people passing by the park entrance. Wang Na once again stood on tiptoe and looked towards the end of the road.

"Nana, there are still five minutes until eight o'clock. Why don't you sit down and wait? What's the rush?"

Wang Na retracted her gaze and explained in a low voice, "I'm afraid Shu Ning got off at the wrong station."

"Oh." Ma Lanzhi smiled obscenely and whispered in Wang Na's ear, "Are you afraid that Shu Ning will get off at the wrong station? I see you can't wait to see Chen Jiawang."

"Oh, this is so annoying!" The two of them quarreled. Wang Na put her arm around Ma Lanzhi's neck and complained, "You don't help me, and you always laugh at me."

Ma Lanzhi broke free and warned, "Watch your image. Chen Jiawang might see it."

Wang Na stood firm, lowered her head to adjust her clothes, and heard Ma Lanzhi's nagging in her ears: "Why didn't I help you? I helped you pick out the clothes and did your makeup."

"Squeak-"

A bus slowly drove into the platform. Wang Na raised her head and met Chen Jiawang's eyes. Blushes crept onto her face and shame filled her heart.

"Wang Na!"

The car door slowly opened, and Chen Jiawang rushed to Wang Na. He raised his hand, but then felt it was too abrupt, so he casually stroked his hair with his palm, a silly smile on his face.

"Comrade Wang Na, long time no see!"

"Hello, Chen Jiawang."

Ma Lanzhi threw herself into Chen Shuning's arms, put her arm around her waist, and said with a smile, "Shuning, I miss you so much!"

"We haven't been apart for long. Besides, haven't we met?"

Chen Shuning gently patted Ma Lanzhi's shoulder and walked onto the platform. He turned around and introduced them, "This is Comrade Jiang Heping, and this is Comrade Xiang Qianjin."

"Peace and progress, these two are my good friends, Wang Na and Ma Lanzhi."

"Hello there!"

The joy faded, and Wang Na looked at Jiang Heping and Xiang Qianjin curiously. Fearing that Wang Na might misunderstand, Chen Jiawang quickly said, "These two are Shu Ning's roommates. We are classmates."

"I know." Wang Na's heart was at ease, and she said warmly, "Hello, I'm Wang Na."

Young comrades were doing ballroom dancing and disco, and cheers could be heard from time to time. The elderly comrades had a more enriching leisure life, such as sword dancing, Tai Chi, and diabolo.

Chen Shuning was overwhelmed by the variety of sports; every sport was new to her.

Wang Na took the initiative to suggest: "Don't just stare at people, let's go boating! I asked local classmates, and they all said that boating is a must in Nanhai Park."

"I've never been on a boat before." Jiang Heping agreed, "Comrade Wang Na's suggestion is very good. I want to go boating too."

A gentle breeze blew, rippling the lake. The boat rocked gently with the waves. Chen Jiawang was the first to step onto the boat, turning around and stretching his arms out.

Amid the jeers, Wang Na blushed, held Chen Jiawang's arm, and slowly walked onto the boat.

"Shuning, Lanzhi, which one of you will come up?"

Chen Shuning and Ma Lanzhi both shook their heads and said they would never go over there.

"Second brother, you two are in the same boat, and Lanzhi and I are in the same boat."

Jiang Heping and Xiang Yuanfang were already seated, rowing their boats, trying to get to the center of the lake. But the boat just kept spinning in circles, refusing to move.

"That's not the right way to row." Wang Na, sitting at the stern, shouted, "Comrade Jiang Heping, you two need to row in the same direction. I'll teach you."

The sun is shining brightly, and the shimmering lake surface is a little dazzling at first glance.

Chen Shuning raised his hand to block the sunlight and looked ahead. Far away, Xiang lay in the cabin, sound asleep. Jiang Heping rowed the boat casually, relaxed and comfortable.

Wang Na and Chen Jiawang were a little further away, chatting happily. Their silvery laughter drifted over on the wind, and Chen Shuning smiled knowingly.

"Shuning, why did your friend fall asleep? It must be so uncomfortable to sleep in the cabin."

"She stayed up late reading a novel last night and went to bed very late." Chen Shuning squinted at the sun and continued, "The sun is so bright today. It's normal to feel sleepy while swaying in the boat."

"What kind of novel could fascinate her like this?"

"It came from Hong Kong. It's called The Legend of the Condor Heroes. It's a hardcover edition."

"I've heard of that book!" Ma Lanzhi said excitedly, "My classmate has a copy, but he's reluctant to let us read it. Shuning, could you ask your friend to buy me one?"

"That book was given to me by Heping. I'll give it to you next time we meet. Just return it to me after you've read it."

Ma Lanzhi smiled sweetly and praised: "How come you are so good!"

"Because you are my good friend, if there are good things, of course we should share them together!"

"Shuning." Ma Lanzhi suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Do you want to sell wool? I have a way to buy it. The profit is much greater than hair ornaments and hairpins."

"Is it reliable? My friend in Junshan runs a small business. He buys hairpins from my house and sells them on the market. If your goods are reliable, how about we do business together?"

Our school has a tight schedule, and with the addition of a foreign language class, I'm having a hard time learning. Sometimes the professor even asks me to do exercises, but time is so tight!

"Wholesale would be even better!" Ma Lanzhi let go of the oar, her eyes gleaming, her tone filled with excitement: "Let's find time to meet and discuss cooperation."

"Well, I'll go back and tell Gao Yun."

"Let's row our oars, push the waves away, and the beautiful white tower is reflected on the sea..."
