After school in the afternoon.
Jiang Ning went out to buy food, having tried practically every restaurant and snack stall around the school over the semester.
He always checked out any new businesses that popped up.
Once, Shao Shuangshuang had asked him if he wanted to arrange for the company's chef to prepare meals and have them delivered at meal times.
Or, more simply, to open a restaurant right at the gate of Fourth Middle School.
Jiang Ning had declined, feeling it unnecessary.
He preferred this simple, unadorned life.
When Jiang Ning left the school gate, his classmate Huang Yuzhu passed by him.
Huang Yuzhu waved, "Jiang Ning, I'm off."
They had dined together for a while, but eventually, Huang Yuzhu decided to eat at home in the afternoons to save money, so they went their separate ways.
Jiang Ning leisurely walked through the crowd, enjoying the human hustle and bustle.
