Chapter 174
After saying goodbye to the young girl with little energy, watching her skip away, Jiang Youbai finally turned to go downstairs.
In his hand was an ordinary small blue stone, originally of no special value, just a bit pretty in color. But when Jiang Yan placed it in his hand, this little stone was imbued with a different meaning.
Jiang Youbai carried this small stone to class, walked around with it, and only when he got home did he take it out and place it in an exquisite transparent mineral box.V/\IssịT for the b/est novel reading experi/en/ce
The box, made of extremely rare mineral material, was crafted into an unremarkable storage container filled with a bunch of colorful trinkets: yellow feathers from an unknown bird, round little beads, a few casual doodles, diary notes with sharp handwriting but clumsy content...
They were all gifts from Jiang Yan. It seemed that whenever the young girl thought of something or saw something, she would give it to him.
Although they were all ordinary things, President Jiang solemnly kept them away, to be used as fond memories to revisit on future wedding anniversaries.
...
Jiang Yan thought her pursuit of a husband would be a long journey, so she wasn't in a hurry.
After all, the matter of breaking off the engagement had been settled, and there was no urgency with her mission. Jiang Yan was truly enjoying her time at school.
The interstellar civilization was far more advanced than the original world she had lived in. Many of the courses taught by the teachers were difficult for her to understand, but there were still many fun things during classes.
For example, at the front of the classroom was a tank of simulated health-monitoring fish, each corresponding to a student's physical condition. If a student fell ill, their corresponding fish would appear listless.
Another example: during nature classes, teachers used advanced technology to let them experience the beautiful landscapes of various planets as if they were really there...
Fun as it was, students couldn't escape exams. When the exam notice came out, Jiang Yan was dumbfounded.
The ninety-nine days had been interrupted, and Jiang Yan thought again about how she came in last, feeling dejected and disheartened. "Yes!" she said.
Jiang Youbai took the milk can, flicked his finger, and pulled the tab open.
As Jiang Yan gulped down the milk grumpily, Jiang Youbai tried to console her: "It's just one time you didn't perform well, and besides, this exam's results aren't important..."
But thinking about how the usually lively young girl was heartbroken over coming in last, he couldn't help but feel amused.
In the end, his words concluded with a suppressed yet still audible chuckle, successfully earning a dissatisfied look from the young girl.
Well, he'd have to divert her attention another way.
Jiang Youbai suddenly asked Jiang Yan, "By the way, why do you give me gifts every day?"
Jiang Yan paused for a moment, looking at Jiang Youbai: "To pursue you, of course."
Jiang Youbai hadn't expected her to be so direct... This was indeed the answer he wanted to know, but after truly receiving the answer, his heart still lost its rhythm.
The two had unconsciously stopped walking. Jiang Yan was still looking at Jiang Youbai. He opened his mouth, but suddenly found his lips extremely dry.
The usually composed president struggled to steady his emotions. He licked his lips, looking into Jiang Yan's eyes.
Jiang Yan seemed to know what he was about to say, but she wasn't sure.
Jiang Youbai's typically clear voice was tinged with uncertainty as he said, "If I accept you now, would that make you feel a bit happier?"
