Chapter 68: Chapter 62: Qi Xingzhou, Off to Climb a Mountain Chapter 68: Chapter 62: Qi Xingzhou, Off to Climb a Mountain After completing Chu Yiyi’s task, Jiang Ning’s life value suddenly increased significantly.
At that ti, when she signed the contract with “Survive for 30 Days”, the official recording ti was 30 days, and taking out the two days of travel before and after, it was at most 32 days in total.
Now the life value Jiang Ning had accumulated was more than enough to support her after the show.
Since Jiang Ning no longer had such an urgent need for life value, she opened WeChat to contact Qi Xingzhou.
After adding Qi Xingzhou on WeChat last ti, the two had not chatted. The reason Jiang Ning didn’t contact Qi Xingzhou was that her daily schedule was packed, and as for why Qi Xingzhou didn’t contact her… she would ask him when they t.
Jiang Ning did not send a text ssage but directly made a video call to Qi Xingzhou.
During the few encounters with Qi Xingzhou, he was too silent, she needed to make him talk more.
Qi Xingzhou’s phone was often rely a decoration.
The mont the default WeChat ringtone sounded, Qi Xingzhou, who was engrossed in writing sothing at his desk, instinctively looked up, his expression sowhat blank.
However, when his gaze fell on the lit screen, Qi Xingzhou’s originally indifferent expression changed, like soone had thrown a stone into a placid lake, disrupting the calm surface.
Qi Xingzhou imdiately put down what he was doing, even sitting up straighter in his chair.
He saw Jiang Ning’s avatar on the brightened phone screen, and saw that… Jiang Ning was calling him.
A flicker of anticipation and joy that Qi Xingzhou didn’t recognize himself flashed through his handso eyes. Qi Xingzhou picked up the phone lying beside him, his finger carefully tapped the screen gently, and the video call connected. The face that he had been yearning for these past days instantly appeared on the screen.
Jiang Ning had a full smile, her skin fair, a light makeup adorned her face, which under the enhancent of the subtle costics looked even more rosy and flawless.
Qi Xingzhou’s dark eyes stared at Jiang Ning on the screen without blinking, even his breathing was unconsciously lowered.
As Qi Xingzhou saw Jiang Ning, she likewise saw Qi Xingzhou on the screen.
Qi Xingzhou’s hands rested on the desk, holding the phone, the upward angle of the shot from below, which is often said to be a deadly angle, failed to reveal any double chin on Qi Xingzhou’s face; instead, it made his jawline appear clean and smooth.
Qi Xingzhou, who had answered the video call, seed oddly cute and stiff, sitting up straight as if he were a startled little rabbit.
Seeing him, Jiang Ning smiled broadly and took the initiative to speak, “Hey! Qi Xingzhou, what are you doing?”
Qi Xingzhou couldn’t help but tap the screen, enlarging Jiang Ning from a small window to fill his entire phone’s screen.
“Writing sothing,” Qi Xingzhou replied, his tone still a bit stiff and devoid of inflection.
He flipped the cara to show Jiang Ning what he was writing.
The pristine white A4 sheets were filled with all kinds of formulas, which at first glance Jiang Ning thought were English. It was only after a closer look that she realized it was math.
Suddenly rembering what Ji Shuang had said about Qi Xingzhou’s astonishing mathematical talent, Jiang Ning’s eyes widened, “Are you busy? Oh dear, I’ve disturbed you. You better keep working, I’ll hang up, okay?”
“No,” Qi Xingzhou replied quickly upon hearing Jiang Ning’s words.
He pushed aside the papers he had been working on for quite a while, his movents eager and rough, and then looked cautiously at Jiang Ning in the phone, “I’m not busy anymore.”
“Don’t rush,” Jiang Ning soothed him with a smile, “It’s a nice sunny day today, do you want to co out for a walk?”
If they went out, they could et.
Qi Xingzhou’s eyes lit up.
Jiang Ning smiled with her eyes, “I’ll take you climbing.”
When Jiang Ning was video calling Qi Xingzhou, she sat on her own balcony, glancing up at the weather which was neither windy nor rainy nor sunny—just perfect for climbing.
Seeing the gleam in Qi Xingzhou’s eyes, clearly tempted, Jiang Ning instructed him to change his clothes and shoes, then wait for her at ho.
If she left now, she could probably reach his house in about twenty minutes.
After ending the call, Qi Xingzhou did exactly as Jiang Ning had said, changing into a set of casual clothes and putting on his sports shoes before he went downstairs.
Ji Shuang was sitting on the sofa in the first-floor living room, her attention drawn by the noise upstairs, she lifted her eyes to see Qi Xingzhou descending the spiral staircase.
Although Qi Xingzhou’s expression was as blank as usual, Ji Shuang felt sothing different about him today.
Could it be that he seed a bit happier today?
Ji Shuang looked puzzled.
Qi Xingzhou rarely left his room, but if he felt hungry or thirsty, he would go down to the kitchen to find sothing to eat.
Ji Shuang thought this ti was no different.
Who would have guessed that after Qi Xingzhou went downstairs, he would head straight for the front door with determination, not even glancing at the kitchen beside him?
Just as Qi Xingzhou was about to step out of the door, Ji Shuang’s heart tightened, and she quickly stood up, “Zhouzhou, where are you going?”
Qi Xingzhou turned to look at her, “Jiang Ning, climbing.”
After dropping those four words, Qi Xingzhou could no longer suppress his excited emotions and strode out of the villa.
Ji Shuang, who had been concerned about him, was stunned in place upon hearing his response.
When she asked the question, she didn’t expect Qi Xingzhou to reply, because as he grew up, he disliked speaking and ignored anyone who tried to talk to him.
Over ti, the Qi family mbers had gotten used to talking to Qi Xingzhou without expecting a reply.
Although she had been pleasantly surprised to hear him speak to Jiang Ning a few days earlier, she hadn’t expected that Qi Xingzhou would not only speak but now seed willing to communicate with her!
Ji Shuang imdiately felt tears of excitent.
After hearing Jiang Ning’s na from Qi Xingzhou, Ji Shuang wasn’t so worried about his going out; instead, she felt sowhat grateful to Jiang Ning for inviting Qi Xingzhou out to play.
Ji Shuang did not show herself, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, she watched Qi Xingzhou, who had just hurried out, stand in the place where Jiang Ning had dropped him off last ti.
A few minutes passed, and Jiang Ning’s car appeared.
And then, Ji Shuang watched her foolish son, who no matter how she urged would not leave the house before, promptly take the passenger seat in Jiang Ning’s car, with eager movents, as if afraid that Jiang Ning would drive away without him the next second.
Seeing this, Ji Shuang shook her head with a light chuckle. When she watched Jiang Ning’s car leave the Qi Family, Ji Shuang picked up her phone to send a ssage to Qi Jingshan: Our son has grown up, I can’t keep him here anymore.
Qi Jingshan: Eh?
