Chapter 98

Unfortunately, good times always pass by particularly quickly. As the Ferris wheel continued to rotate, the gondola also began to slowly descend, soon reaching a height where others could see inside.

Jiang Ping knew that Li Qian had a thin skin and would definitely not want others to see her in such an intimate state, so he took the initiative to end the passionate kiss.

As their lips had just parted, Li Qian was still dazed. Her face was flushed, and her eyes were misty, as if they were about to drip with water. Seeing the alluring look on the girl's face, Jiang Ping couldn't help but kiss her cheek again.

By this time, Li Qian had also returned to normal. Recalling the embarrassing things she had done just now, the girl couldn't help but give Jiang Ping a coquettish glance and said, "Bad guy, you just like to bully me!"

Jiang Ping, of course, could tell that Li Qian wasn't really angry about what had just happened; she was just being coy. So he smiled and leaned in, whispering in Li Qian's ear, "I like bullying you, and I want to bully you more in the future. Are you willing?"

The fiery question made the quiet girl feel overwhelmed. Fortunately, the Ferris wheel had already completed one full rotation. Li Qian fled from the gondola, not daring to be alone with Jiang Ping anymore.

Seeing the shy look on the girl's face, Jiang Ping was also greatly moved. After a satisfied smile, he quickly followed her. The two played at the amusement park for a while longer. As the time was getting late, Jiang Ping sent Li Qian home.

When Jiang Ping delivered Li Qian to her doorstep, the two inevitably said their reluctant goodbyes. Li Qian had just made a breakthrough in her relationship with Jiang Ping and was even more clingy. Especially thinking about how she would soon be going to her grandmother's house, the girl was even more reluctant to part with Jiang Ping.

Seeing Li Qian's affectionate look, Jiang Ping almost gave her another passionate kiss. However, he still retained a bit of rationality, knowing that they were at Li Qian's doorstep. If he did something out of line and was seen by Li Linxiang, it would be difficult to see Li Qian again in the future.

So Jiang Ping restrained his inner impulse, just smiled and comforted Li Qian a few times, then watched her reluctantly enter the building.

Jiang Ping and Li Qian didn't know that at the same time they were saying their reluctant goodbyes, Li Linxiang was watching them from the window upstairs. Seeing that Jiang Ping had only talked to his daughter and hadn't made any further moves, Li Linxiang nodded in satisfaction, "Hmm, I didn't misjudge him. This kid's character is indeed good."

Of course, if Li Linxiang knew what Jiang Ping had done to his daughter on the Ferris wheel, he would have come to a completely different conclusion.

Jiang Ping had just returned home when he received a call from Zhang Jun. The guy was shouting on the other end of the phone, "Jiang Ping, where did you and Li Qian go? You made Meng Meng and me wait so long, and we had to go home by ourselves!"

Jiang Ping wasn't about to let Zhang Jun get the upper hand, so he immediately sneered, "Damn, you still have the nerve to talk about it! Li Qian and I searched for you two all over the place, but we couldn't find you. Who knows which corner you were in, making out. Now you're even trying to blame us!"

Sure enough, after Jiang Ping said this, Zhang Jun laughed smugly and said mysteriously, "Bro, your idea was good. Today, Meng Meng and I made a lot of progress. I not only touched her waist but also kissed her face!"

Feeling helpless at his friend's low standards, Jiang Ping shook his head, "You have no ambition. At this rate, when will you get to third base?"

"Third... third base?" Zhang Jun was a bit nervous when he mentioned this, stammering, "I just want to be with Meng Meng. I haven't really thought about other things."

"Unambitious!" Jiang Ping bluntly evaluated Zhang Jun's response.

"Don't just criticize me!" Zhang Jun retorted, "You and Li Qian were alone all day. Tell me what progress you made!"

If Jiang Ping were an ordinary high school student, he would definitely have boasted to his good friend about the progress with Li Qian. However, his mental age had long passed the stage of boasting about such things. He just said calmly, "Not much progress, just played a round at the amusement park, then sent her home."

Zhang Jun was heartbroken, "It was your idea to go to the water park. How could you waste such a good opportunity!"

"Because I'm a noble person, one who has transcended low-level interests!" Jiang Ping said righteously, "Unlike you, who only thinks about those messy things!"

Zhang Jun immediately countered, "Don't give me that. Who told me today that a girlfriend should not only be beautiful but also sexy?"

Jiang Ping said seriously, "Even if Li Qian is both beautiful and sexy, I can still treat her with respect. This just shows that I'm a good person!"

"I can't stand you." Zhang Jun said helplessly on the other end of the phone, "I'm glad you two are fine. I'll hang up now!"

Jiang Ping also knew that Zhang Jun had called to check if he was okay, so he said to his good friend, "Thanks, bro. See you!"

For Jiang Ping, the trip to the water park, though enjoyable, was not the main focus of his life. The most important thing right now was to quickly craft that set of Hainan rosewood armchairs to earn enough money for his sister's medical expenses.

Over the next two days, Jiang Ping spent every day in the small courtyard on Huahua Lane. Besides taking medicinal baths and practicing his resistance to strikes, he was working hard to craft the set of armchairs with a pure Ming Dynasty style.

After this period of effort, Jiang Ping had already roughly prepared the wood. He was about to enter the most critical stage of crafting the armchairs, which involved precisely shaping the prepared wood according to the design drawings to ensure that the armchairs perfectly matched the Ming Dynasty style.

This was not a task that could be completed in a short time. Jiang Ping knew the principle of "slow work produces fine results." To get a good price for the armchairs, he couldn't afford to be careless in the craftsmanship. Otherwise, even the best Hainan rosewood would be wasted.

After two days of busy work in the small courtyard on Huahua Lane, it was finally the weekend. On this day, Jiang Ping, unusually, finished work early and hurried home.

Jiang Ping did this, of course, not because he had lost patience, but because his mother had given him a strict order to be home before 4 PM. Today, the Jiang Huajian couple was hosting a dinner to celebrate their son's admission to Nanjing University, and as the main guest, Jiang Ping had to arrive early.

When Jiang Ping got home, his parents and sister were already waiting for him. Under his mother's urging, he quickly took a shower and changed into the new clothes that had been prepared. Then he left with his family.
