"Slow down, don’t spill it."
"Yunyun, I walk very steadily!" Wang Yuhe’s voice was highly recognizable, with a stubborn tone, "Look!"
Soon, the two appeared at the front door of the classroom.
Jiang Nian was originally resting, browsing his phone, but he heard the voices. He realistically put down the phone and pretended to focus on solving problems.
He looked up, appearing puzzled.
"What time is it now?"
"Two thirty." The two girls assumed Jiang Nian had been working on problems until two thirty, so they instinctively stepped lightly.
The benefit of showing off became apparent.
The two girls were still holding packed wontons, and Wang Yuhe’s bowl was already opened, probably snacked on while walking.
"Hmm? How did you eat it on the way?" Jiang Nian noticed the flaw.
"Eating while walking!" Wang Yuhe hummed, holding her disposable bowl, heading to the back row, "How strange."
Chen Yunyun also wanted to head to the back, but Jiang Nian stopped her.
"Is it tasty? Let me try."
North District, boys’ dormitory.
Huang Caicai slept until three o’clock and was shaken awake.
"Wanna play cards?" Yang Qiming stood on the edge of the lower bunk, extending an invitation, "We just need one more person, and if we lose, it’s on me."
"Me?" Huang Caicai scratched his head, reluctantly agreeing, and couldn’t help but ask, "Brother Yang, have you finished your test paper?"
"No rush, none of us have done it."
The classroom was basically empty in the afternoon.
Jiang Nian finished the problems, and ended up playing a few rounds of poker with Chen Yunyun and Wang Yuhe, with the loser getting their palm slapped.
He played all his cards, then turned to look at Wang Yuhe.
"It’s you again, hand over."
Wang Yuhe was almost furious, feeling there was some foul play in the game.
"It doesn’t count, you must have cheated!"
"Nonsense, how do you cheat in cards?" Jiang Nian lied without skipping a beat, seizing her palm and turning her fair, tender hand over.
A crisp sound, and Wang Yuhe’s little face scrunched up like a bun.
"If you win, you can hit me back, provided you can win." Jiang Nian chuckled, "Lose once, and I’ll take ten hits for you?"
Wang Yuhe frowned, clenching her fist.
"I’m tired, I’m done." Jiang Nian tossed the cards, stood up and yawned, "You guys play, I’m gonna wash my face."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yuhe was completely dumbfounded.
"You! You you you!!!"
As evening approached, the sky darkened.
The classroom was brightly lit, the sound of homework copying bustling and lively.
"Chi Shi! Then what is this!"
"Who did my test for me, I really don’t know. My family has been poor in studies for generations, I’m afraid of being left behind."
Outside the corridor, only a sliver of sky remained.
Jiang Nian leaned on the railing, feeling the wind, with the night breeze gently brushing his hair. A girl stood beside him, quietly.
"By the way, Qingqing have you ever climbed Qingmu Ridge?"
"No." Her expression was calm, gazing at the distant blurry Qingmu Ridge, "Someone organized before, too noisy so I didn’t go."
"Oh oh, you gotta hold hands when climbing." Jiang Nian, having nothing else to do, started teaching weird things, "There’s no signal on the mountain too." Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novᴇl(ꜰ)ire.ɴet
Li Qingrong looked down, recalling she had never held hands before.
"When... are we going climbing?"
"Not climbing, there’s really nothing to climb on such a small hill." Jiang Nian pondered, "How about climbing a real mountain during New Year’s holiday?"
She was stunned for a moment.
"Not sure, maybe within the province." Jiang Nian mused, "Let’s find a close one first, but we might need to stay overnight."
"You can find someone to go with, more people would be lively too."
Li Qingrong was somewhat distracted, thinking about that "climbing needs holding hands," she almost didn’t hesitate.
