Immersed in the awkward atmosphere he had crafted for himself.
Huang Yuzhu could no longer bear it, and came up with a topic to initiate the conversation, breaking what he considered to be an awkward silence:
"Jiang Ning, what are you planning to go out and eat?"
"I'm thinking of walking around. Do you feel like eating anything in particular?" Jiang Ning replied.
"There's a chicken soup place nearby that tastes decent and is cheap, too. Four yuan for a bowl of egg and chicken soup, and with a two yuan pancake, six yuan is all you need for a full meal," Huang Yuzhu said.
"Sure, let's go together."
The two chatted sporadically and, upon exiting the school gates, they happened to run into the chemistry teacher, Guo Ran.
Jiang Ning called out, "Hello, Teacher!"
Then he casually glanced at the young man beside Guo Ran.
It was Yan Bo, the shady factory owner who had been illicitly dumping wastewater.
It turned out to be this guy.
