In the afternoon, the class was quite restless.
As soon as the third period ended, Lao Liu hurriedly entered the classroom through the front door with his head down. He pulled out his phone before even reaching the podium.
"I need to borrow some of your listening time. The listening test isn’t so soon, right?"
Someone from the class responded, "Teacher, there’s no listening test on Friday."
"Alright, let me say a few things, this..." Lao Liu scrolled down on his phone, his voice growing louder, "About tomorrow’s joint exam, there are a few matters."
"First is the exam room setup, which will be handled by today’s duty students, along with the class monitor and the study and labor committee members."
"Which group is on duty? Stand up and let me see."
Rustle, the sixth group, including Jiang Nian, stood up a bit scattered.
"Li Hua, you’re in charge of leading your group members to clean up the classroom. Follow the study committee’s instructions to set up the exam room," Lao Liu began assigning responsibilities.
"The study committee is responsible... Also, I must emphasize that the faculty group has decided that books cannot be placed in the hallways or entranceways due to a leadership inspection."
Lao Liu babbled on for over ten minutes.
Besides cleaning and setting up the exam room, there were essentially two areas.
One is the issue of self-study during exams, as you can’t move freely before and after exams. Students must return to class for self-study, and morning and evening self-study sessions will continue as usual.
The other is the exam arrangement; freshmen and sophomores will have a holiday, and the entire teaching building will be used for exams, with all teachers monitoring, closely following the college entrance exam standards.
After Lao Liu left, the class immediately became lively.
"College entrance exam standards, doesn’t that mean no classes for two days? Wow, that’s awesome!"
"No, have you lost your mind, dude?" Lin Dong looked at the person with a look of disbelief, "We lose half a day of weekend off, what’s awesome about that!"
"Damn! It really is! Do we still have evening self-study?"
"Who knows, Lao Liu the cryptic leaver didn’t mention that! He rushed off so fast, there was no chance to ask him."
"Class leader! Class leader! Do we have evening self-study after the exam?"
Upon hearing this, Li Qingrong turned to the source of the voice.
"We probably have to, other classes haven’t mentioned any holidays either."
As soon as the words fell, someone immediately disagreed.
"According to the college entrance exam standard, surely not. I’m not coming, I’m going to the internet cafe after the exam," said Luo Yong, the self-proclaimed online battle god.
"Chi Shi, if you dare ditch class to go to the internet cafe, I’ll kneel and lick your feet," Lin Dong mocked loudly, "Whoever doesn’t go say ’dad’ a hundred times, dare or not?"
Afterwards, the class burst into laughter.
Luo Yong stared at Lin Dong with wide eyes, his face reddening as if greatly insulted. He muttered a few words but dared not answer loudly.
He thought to himself, if only he weren’t renting outside the school, he’d definitely dare to skip class!
Li Hua, after enjoying the fun, turned to ask Jiang Nian.
"Shall we move the desks tonight?"
"Sure." Jiang Nian nodded.
Moving desks is a hassle, typically paired with taking out the trash.
Counting on Zeng You to contribute is impossible; he’s busy heading back to the dorm to read novels. As for Wu Jungu..... unless necessary, Li Hua didn’t want to partner with him.
It’s not cowardice, alright, maybe it is cowardice.
Li Hua felt that the class’s atmosphere had been strange lately, to be precise. Ever since Jiang Nian came, Class Three’s vibe had become so odd.
He used to feel somewhat awkward about his past with Wu Jungu’s ex-girlfriend.
Now..... the sense of shame..... uh, basically gone. He even felt like he didn’t do anything, why should he feel awkward, others should feel awkward!
There were other things Li Hua dared not speak.
He was eager to try; if Yu Zhiyi appeared before him, he would talk openly, no need to create drama for himself, feeling embarrassed on his own.
As someone once said, so what? Who cares.
Jiang Nian didn’t have as many teenage troubles as Li Hua; he was pondering where to put his books.
Who in senior year doesn’t have tons of books? The classroom can barely hold them. The faculty required all senior classes to clear their books, but they can’t put them in the corridor.
Who knows how many moms the school leaders have on their household registration to come up with such an abstract thing.
In class, some were already tidying their desks. Jiang Nian thought for a moment and turned to Zhang Ningzhi.
"Sort out your desk and drawer books, I’ll help you move them later."
Zhang Ningzhi’s eyes widened, stunned for a moment.
"But... the homeroom teacher said we can’t move books until the second evening self-study session, and they can’t be placed on the staircase or at the entrance."
"Who cares, just move them. Put them by the wall near the corridor where it’s convenient, it won’t bother anyone. Besides, if we don’t move them, others will."
Jiang Nian knew what she was worried about, mainly afraid of being scolded by Lao Liu if he saw it later.
"Call a few more people later, once we move them, what can Lao Liu say. Even if school leaders come, it’ll be the same. Are they going to ask us to move them home?"
Zhang Ningzhi dared not do such things alone, since high schoolers are used to being disciplined. They basically follow orders even when facing unreasonable regulations.
But luckily, with Jiang Nian, she didn’t need to worry.
"OK." Jiang Nian turned and began talking with Li Hua.
Then Li Hua patted Ma Guojun, and after some chatter, Ma Guojun turned and persuaded several people from their group, and invited Yao Beibei from the neighboring group.
As soon as class ended, Jiang Nian and a few others started moving the books.
In the corridor, apart from students leaving class, quite a few people from other classes were also moving books, directly taking them to the spacious hallway.
Ma Guojun was somewhat relieved, "Damn, good thing we didn’t listen to Lao Liu, otherwise all the spots would have been taken by other classes."
"Yeah, there’s barely any space anyway."
