Chapter 33: I Didn’t Expect You to Be Such a Junior Brother!
Noon.
Jiang Miao and Wang Xin were having lunch in the cafeteria.
Originally, Xun Liang and his girlfriend were with them, but Jiang Miao and Wang Xin couldn’t stand the dog food from the couple, so they hid in a corner with their trays.
[Peach Jam]: Boss, I’m dead.
[Congee Boss]: ?
[Congee Boss]: Is it a ghost chatting with me?
[Peach Jam]: I wish I could turn into a ghost…
Jiang Miao ate while sighing.
If only he could really become a ghost. At least Senior Sister wouldn’t be able to find him.
[Congee Boss]: What happened? Did you get dumped or lose money? Or even used for your body?[Peach Jam]: It’s a long story.
[Congee Boss]: So it’s all of the above?
[Peach Jam]: It’s much more serious than those…
[Congee Boss]: If you have something to say, just say it. I’m busy these days.
[Peach Jam]: My secret about writing novels was exposed.
[Congee Boss]: ???
[Congee Boss]: Your roommates found out?
[Peach Jam]: Not roommates… It’s my senior sister…
[Congee Boss]: Which senior sister?
[Peach Jam]: The one I told you about before. You even said she was the most beautiful girl in the entire school.
[Congee Boss]: Really?
[Peach Jam]: As much as I hate to admit it, it’s true.
[Congee Boss]: I can’t… Let me laugh first.
[Congee Boss]: Hahahahahahaha!
[Congee Boss]: Then what happened? How did your senior sister react?
[Peach Jam]: She teased me, and then I escaped. (feeling complicated.jpg)
[Congee Boss]: Please describe the scene in detail.
[Peach Jam]: Get lost.
[Peach Jam]: What should I do now? If she tells anyone, I won’t be able to show my face at school anymore.
[Congee Boss]: It’s already happened. You might as well learn to enjoy it.
[Peach Jam]: Enjoy it, my ass.
[Congee Boss]: If you don’t want her to tell anyone, just ask her directly. It’s only keeping it a secret. It’s not that hard.
[Peach Jam]: The problem is I’m too embarrassed to talk to her right now… It’s so awkward!
[Peach Jam]: When she was reading my novel, she didn’t know I wrote it, so she praised me a lot.
[Peach Jam]: Now that she knows I’m the author, isn’t it super embarrassing?
[Congee Boss]: Going by your logic, she must be feeling embarrassed too, right?
[Peach Jam]: That’s true… But I can’t tell that she’s embarrassed at all!
[Congee Boss]: That just means her mental fortitude is much better than yours. As long as she’s not embarrassed, then you’re the one who’s embarrassed.
[Congee Boss]: Don’t be afraid! Go for it! As long as you persevere and refuse to be embarrassed, she definitely won’t be able to keep it up either.
[Peach Jam]: …
[Peach Jam]: I really want to beat you up right now.
[Congee Boss]: I’ve done my best to give you advice, and that’s how you repay my kindness?
[Peach Jam]: Thank you so much, really.
[Congee Boss]: If you’re too scared to say it yourself, I’ll help you. I know Su Huaizhou.
[Peach Jam]: Uh… Forget it…
[Peach Jam]: Speaking of which, Boss, are you still busy? Do you still want to meet up?
[Congee Boss]: I’ve been very busy lately. If you want to meet, you’ll have to wait until after your military training ends.
[Peach Jam]: Okay, but I don’t really feel like meeting you anymore.
[Congee Boss]: ???
[Congee Boss]: What do you mean? Got tired of the old and like the new? Now that you have your senior sister, you’re ditching me?
[Peach Jam]: Do you really think you can compare to her?
[Peach Jam]: It’s mainly because I’ve got a lingering fear of social death now. I really don’t want anyone else at school to know about me…
[Congee Boss]: So what if you face social death?
[Congee Boss]: I suggest you get a loudspeaker, go straight to the library’s rooftop, and announce to the entire school that you are Peach Jam! If you’re going down, might as well go all out.
[Peach Jam]: Get lost!
After the friendly exchange with Congee Boss, Jiang Miao’s complicated emotions finally eased a little.
But the thought of approaching Senior Sister in person and asking her to keep his identity as Peach Jam a secret still made him feel awkward.
It was mainly because it was too embarrassing.
Every time he thought of Senior Sister’s face, the blood-curdling experience of social death in the office would involuntarily appear in his mind.
It made him feel goosebumps all over.
Just as he was thinking about how to solve this problem, Senior Sister sent him a message.
[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: Are you still angry?
[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: Okay, it was my fault for peeking at your monitor. Don’t be angry, okay?
[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: How about a cup of boba to make up for it?
Jiang Miao: “…”
I’m not really angry. He sighed and thought for a moment before replying.
[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: It’s okay, no need for boba. I just hope you can help me keep it a secret and not let a third person know about what happened today.
[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: Don’t your roommates know you’re writing a novel?
[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: Definitely not… Among the acquaintances I know in real life, only you know, Senior Sister…
[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: Well, I feel quite honored.
[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: Anyway, please don’t tell anyone!
[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: No problem~
[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: But I have a small request.
[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]:
[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: Junior Brother, you should come back to the Political Work Group. Otherwise, I’m worried you’ll stay up late writing and your body can’t take it again.
Jiang Miao: “…”
Who says I can’t take it?
How can a man say he can’t do it?
I just resigned in the morning in a high-profile manner, and now you’re telling me to go back in the afternoon?
Don’t even think about it!
[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: In that case, I’ll go back tomorrow.
Ahem… Let him explain.
It wasn’t that he wasn’t resolute. It was just that this sweltering weather was too torturous.
If he had been undergoing military training since the start, it would be one matter.
But after spending two days in air conditioning, the difference in temperature after returning to the military training team…
In short, the military training this morning made him feel like he was going to throw up.
The Political Work Group was so much better!
Free air conditioning and free computer.
Now that Senior Sister knew, there was no need to hide it anymore and be on tenterhooks all the time. Instead, it was actually quite a relief to be more open about it.
Thinking about it this way, it doesn’t seem so… bad?
Jiang Miao comforted himself with this thought, and his mood gradually brightened.
[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: That’s fine. Anyway, take care of yourself. My daily spiritual nourishment relies on Peach Jam!
Fuck!
Don’t mention this name to me!
Jiang Miao had just mentally prepared himself when Senior Sister made him upset again.
[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: Senior Sister, I have one more request. Could you please not mention my pen name around me?
[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: Huh? Why not? Your pen name is quite cute.
[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: But I really didn’t expect Peach Jam to be a guy!
[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: No wonder you argued so strongly back then…
[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: Hahahahaha~ Suddenly, it feels so amusing. I didn’t expect you to be such a junior brother!
[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: My phone’s about to die. See you later, Senior Sister.
Jiang Miao turned off his phone with a lifeless expression, not wanting to deal with the devilish Senior Sister anymore.
