Volume 3 Winter Solstice Chapter 16 Part-time Job
"Leave some room for dinner," said Guan Qingtong.
Guan Nuo opened the box and said, "There are only ten jars. The jars are quite exquisite."
"I usually prepare dinner and call you to come back but you don't come back," Guan Qingtong looked at him and said, "Are you going to school tomorrow?"
"Yes, I will go. I will take two exams tomorrow and another one the day after tomorrow."
"I'm going to make dinner."
Guan Nuo watched Guan Qingtong walk into the kitchen. He stood up and walked to the balcony to look down.
The girl walked forward holding a wooden sword.

Chen Nan placed the food on the long table.
Jiang You first picked up a piece of braised pork, took a bite, and then ate a mouthful of rice.
It’s the taste of a dream.
Chen Nan watched him eat, and the amount of rice and braised pork was decreasing at a visible speed.
After finishing a bowl of rice, Jiang You touched his stomach and said, "It feels so good."
Then he scooped a spoonful of fish soup into Jiang Min's small bowl, put a piece of fish belly meat in it, stirred the rice with a spoon, and placed the bowl in front of Jiang Min.
Jiang Mo silently scooped the rice with a spoon.
Jiang You picked up another piece of spinach and gave it to him. "Spinach is nutritious. Eat more."
Chen Nan watched Jiang Mo chewing spinach diligently. She said, "It's good that he's not picky about food."
"Like me, I'm not picky about food," Jiang You stood up and went to the kitchen to scoop up a bowl of rice.
His voice came from the kitchen, "Do you think he has gained some weight recently?"
"No, I'm still very thin. I need to eat three meals a day normally."
"I feel fatter. After the New Year, I plan to take him to the park every morning and run two laps along the lake. I remember that I have to play chess with Mr. Xu on the 18th," Jiang You walked out of the kitchen. "The cakes and cookies baked by his wife are delicious."
He sat down and said, "Now that I think about it, I really can't rest before the New Year."
"There's still more than a month before the Chinese New Year," Chen Nan began to eat. "On the 18th it will be winter vacation, and Xu Jiaqi has also signed up for a gym membership. I've run into her at the gym a few times recently, and it seems like she's broken up with her boyfriend."
"It's not appropriate," Jiang You poured some broth into the bowl, "The Xu couple are both very nice. I roughly calculated that I have at least three meals to eat before the New Year. Yuan Shu, my college classmate, I must get together with him before he goes back for the New Year, right? Then there is Liu Tianyu, I need to trouble him to help me promote the store after the New Year. And you remember Yang Xuan who came to my store on Jiang Mo's birthday last time, right?"
"As for that little celebrity you were chasing after, I was a little surprised that day how you were able to invite her."
"I know the CEO of her company."
"You have so many friends."
"It's OK," Jiang You scooped a bowl of fish soup and drank it slowly after finishing his rice. "I'm really busy and tired."
Jiang Mo put down the spoon.
"Are you full?" Jiang You asked him as he put down the bowl and picked him up. He said to Chen Nan, "I'll take him upstairs. You eat first."

Tang Butian stood at the gate of the community.
Her cell phone rang and she took it out.
Jiang You: Was it successful?
Tang Butian: Failed.
Jiang You: Coercion or inducement?
Tang Butian: What?
Jiang You: Generally speaking, unless you use your personal charm to infect the other party, there are only two ways to find someone to do the work. Weren't you very skilled in using them when you recruited me?
Tang Butian: Oh.
Jiang You: You might succeed by using your beauty to infect others.
Tang Butian: I’ll try again.
Tang Butian turned around.
Jiang You: Find an excuse and try again after some time.
Tang Butian saw Guan Qingtong's son Guan Nuo walking towards her, so she put her phone back into her bag.
"You, that..." Guan Nuo stood in front of her. He was tall, thin, and a little restrained. "I'm the one you just saw."
"I know, you are Guan Nuo, the son of Guan Qingtong, 21 years old, a junior in the Department of Architecture at Jiujiang University."
"I had my fortune told today," said Guan Nuo.
Tang Butian looked up at Guan Nuo.
"You are, I know something, are you from the Special Incidents Unit?"
"yes."
"Let's find a place to sit down and talk?" Guan Nuo asked tentatively.
"good."
They walked into the milk tea shop next to the community.
"What kind of milk tea do you want?" Guan Nuo asked.
"Yakult green tea, no ice, three-tenths sweet." Tang Butian glanced at the menu on the wall, then walked to the innermost seat of the milk tea shop and sat down.
"It's so cold now, why don't you drink something hot?" Guan Nuo suggested hesitantly.
"random."
"Then..." Guan Nuo ran to the milk tea counter. A few minutes later, he walked up to Tang Butian with two cups of hot pearl milk tea.
Tang Butian stuck the straw into the cup.
Guan Nuo glanced at Tang Butian and lowered his head. He whispered, "I know my mom used to work in the Special Events Division, and so did my dad."
He hesitated, then added, "My biological father."
"What's his name?"
"I don't know. I was very young at the time and I only have some vague memories."
"You want to join the Special Operations Department?"
"No, no, no," Guan Nuo denied, and then he added: "I, I want to know how my father died."
"What happens after you find out?"
"I never thought about it. My parents hid it from me. They hid it from me..."
"Can you tell fortunes?"
"I know a little bit, and I can also do some Feng Shui."
"a little?"
"I don't know what level I'm at, I learned it secretly. I had a fortune-teller tell me today, and it said there was a noble person in the southwest. After I finished my exam today, I walked in the southwest direction, and when I got home I found you at my house. You are my chance..."
Tang Butian took a sip of milk tea, then she picked up the cup and stood up, "I'm leaving."
"I, I'm very talented," Guan Nuo's voice became louder. "When I took the Level 6 exam, I got every multiple-choice question correct, and the final score was 426."
"The Special Operations Department does not recruit students."
"You are a student too, right?"
"part time."
“I can also work part-time.”
“I work part-time as a student.”
Guan Nuo chased Tang Butian out of the milk tea shop, "I, I can take a leave of absence from school. You are here to ask my mom to come out of retirement, right? I can do everything my mom can do..."
The wooden sword moved forward and landed on Guan Nuo's shoulder. The wind blew Tang Butian's hair. "I'm leaving. Don't catch up with me."
"Why?"
"You are not suitable."
Tang Butian took away the knife and walked forward. Guan Nuo wanted to say something else, but found that his body could not move. He knew that Tang Butian had walked out of his sight and he was regaining control of his body.
?
Tang Butian: I rejected her son.
Jiang You: So heartless.
Tang Butian: Master Hongzhen, I’m going to look for him.
Jiang You: I wish you good luck.
Jiang You was lying on the bed. The door of the room opened and Chen Nan walked in while wiping his hair.
The collar of my pajamas was a little wet.
Jiang You switched his phone to silent mode and put it aside.
The air was tinged with fragrance.
Long, white fingers grasped his shoulders.
