Even After My Death

Chapter 68: Chapter 62: Qi Xingzhou, Off to Climb a Mountain Chapter 68: Chapter 62: Qi Xingzhou, Off to Climb

a Mountain After completing Chu Yiyi's task, Jiang Ning’s life value suddenly increased significantly.

At that time, when she signed the contract with “Survive for 30 Days”, the official recording twas 30 days,

and taking out the two days of travel before and after, it was at most 32 days in total.

Now the life value Jiang Ning had accumulated was more than enough to support her after the show.

Since Jiang Ning no longer had such an urgent need for life value, she opened WeChat to contact Qi Xingzhou.

After adding Qi Xingzhou on WeChat last time, the two had not chatted. The reason Jiang Ning didn’t contact Qi

Xingzhou was that her daily schedule was packed, and as for why Qi Xingzhou didn’t contact her... she would ask

him when they met.

Jiang Ning did not send a text message but directly made a video call to Qi Xingzhou.

During the few encounters with Qi Xingzhou, he was too silent, she needed to make him talk more.

Qi Xingzhou’s phone was often merely a decoration.

The moment the default WeChat ringtone sounded, Qi Xingzhou, who was engrossed in writing something at his

desk, instinctively looked up, his expression somewhat blank.

However, when his gaze fell on the lit screen, Qi Xingzhou's originally indifferent expression changed, like

someone had thrown a stone into a placid lake, disrupting the calm surface.

Qi Xingzhou immediately put down what he was doing, even sitting up straighter in his chair.

He saw Jiang Ning’s avatar on the brightened phone screen, and saw that... Jiang Ning was calling him.

A flicker of anticipation and joy that Qi Xingzhou didn’t recognize himself flashed through his handseyes. Qi

Xingzhou picked up the phone lying beside him, his finger carefully tapped the screen gently, and the video call

connected. The face that he had been yearning for these past days instantly appeared on the screen.

Jiang Ning had a full smile, her skin fair, a light makeup adorned her face, which under the enhancement of the

subtle cosmetics looked even more rosy and flawless.

Qi Xingzhou'’s dark eyes stared at Jiang Ning on the screen without blinking, even his breathing was

unconsciously lowered.

As Qi Xingzhou saw Jiang Ning, she likewise saw Qi Xingzhou on the screen.

Qi Xingzhou'’s hands rested on the desk, holding the phone, the upward angle of the shot from below, which is

often said to be a deadly angle, failed to reveal any double chin on Qi Xingzhou’s face; instead, it made his

jawline appear clean and smooth.

Qi Xingzhou, who had answered the video call, seemed oddly cute and stiff, sitting up straight as if he were a

startled little rabbit.

Seeing him, Jiang Ning smiled broadly and took the initiative to speak, “Hey! Qi Xingzhou, what are you doing?”

Qi Xingzhou couldn't help but tap the screen, enlarging Jiang Ning from a small window to fill his entire phone’s

screen.

“Writing something,” Qi Xingzhou replied, his tone still a bit stiff and devoid of inflection.

He flipped the camera to show Jiang Ning what he was writing.

The pristine white A4 sheets were filled with all kinds of formulas, which at first glance Jiang Ning thought were

English. It was only after a closer look that she realized it was math.

Suddenly remembering what Ji Shuang had said about Qi Xingzhou’s astonishing mathematical talent, Jiang

Ning’s eyes widened, “Are you busy? Oh dear, I've disturbed you. You better keep working, I'll hang up, okay?”

“No,” Qi Xingzhou replied quickly upon hearing Jiang Ning’s words.

He pushed aside the papers he had been working on for quite a while, his movements eager and rough, and then

looked cautiously at Jiang Ning in the phone, “I’m not busy anymore.”

“Don’t rush,” Jiang Ning soothed him with a smile, “It's a nice sunny day today, do you want to cout for a

walk?”

If they went out, they could meet.

Qi Xingzhou's eyes lit up.

Jiang Ning smiled with her eyes, “I'll take you climbing.”

When Jiang Ning was video calling Qi Xingzhou, she sat on her own balcony, glancing up at the weather which

was neither windy nor rainy nor sunny—just perfect for climbing.

Seeing the gleam in Qi Xingzhou's eyes, clearly tempted, Jiang Ning instructed him to change his clothes and

shoes, then wait for her at home.

If she left now, she could probably reach his house in about twenty minutes.

After ending the call, Qi Xingzhou did exactly as Jiang Ning had said, changing into a set of casual clothes and

putting on his sports shoes before he went downstairs.

Ji Shuang was sitting on the sofa in the first-floor living room, her attention drawn by the noise upstairs, she lifted

her eyes to see Qi Xingzhou descending the spiral staircase.

Although Qi Xingzhou'’s expression was as blank as usual, Ji Shuang felt something different about him today.

Could it be that he seemed a bit happier today?

Ji Shuang looked puzzled.

Qi Xingzhou rarely left his room, but if he felt hungry or thirsty, he would go down to the kitchen to find

something to eat.

Ji Shuang thought this twas no different.

Who would have guessed that after Qi Xingzhou went downstairs, he would head straight for the front door with

determination, not even glancing at the kitchen beside him?

Just as Qi Xingzhou was about to step out of the door, Ji Shuang’s heart tightened, and she quickly stood up,

“Zhouzhou, where are you going?”

Qi Xingzhou turned to look at her, “Jiang Ning, climbing.”

After dropping those four words, Qi Xingzhou could no longer suppress his excited emotions and strode out of the

villa.

Ji Shuang, who had been concerned about him, was stunned in place upon hearing his response.

When she asked the question, she didn’t expect Qi Xingzhou to reply, because as he grew up, he disliked

speaking and ignored anyone who tried to talk to him.

Over time, the Qi family members had gotten used to talking to Qi Xingzhou without expecting a reply.

Ji Shuang immediately felt tears of excitement.

After hearing Jiang Ning’s nfrom Qi Xingzhou, Ji Shuang wasn’t so worried about his going out; instead, she

felt somewhat grateful to Jiang Ning for inviting Qi Xingzhou out to play.

Ji Shuang did not show herself, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, she watched Qi Xingzhou, who

had just hurried out, stand in the place where Jiang Ning had dropped him off last time.

A few minutes passed, and Jiang Ning’s car appeared.

And then, Ji Shuang watched her
