Jiang Nian slowed down his steps and was caught up by the third class at the classroom door. A group of people were sweating in the cold winter.
"What the hell! You bastards!"
"Chi Shi, Jiang Nian!"
"Damn, he’s always the luckiest, runs the fastest!"
Hearing this, Jiang Nian ran upstairs without hesitation. Not because he’s afraid of being caught for a wedgie, but because these guys are way too sweaty.
Rubbing against them here and there would make Zhizhi dislike him.
He stood on the fifth floor for a while, feeling that there were no pursuers below. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and took out his phone to play by the staircase.
Aren’t you afraid of teachers?
Literary Olympic teachers, managing Olympic students?
More than a dozen notifications popped up on the back end, basically notifications from some apps. Only one was useful, a message from Coach Tian.
"Scheduled exam next Thursday, want to take some time to practice the day before?"
Jiang Nian replied, "No need."
The Zhen Nan Subject Three exam only tests one route, he had practiced driving it a few times and remembered the points on the road in his mind.
Actually, the only hard part is the starting gear shift.
Most people don’t grasp the timing well, but Jiang Nian focuses on one thing: accuracy. Since he started practicing, he hasn’t made a mistake.
To be fair, the spirit of the machine is greatly pleased!
Before returning to the classroom, Jiang Nian put a small trinket in his pocket.
He’s not that foolish, the third class isn’t suitable for the appearance of a second trinket. However, the fourth class might be able to have one.
After the third class, Li Hua grabbed Jiang Nian’s collar.
"You bastard, confess honestly, damn it! Today during the running exercises, who was the girl that left with you?"
"She was from the zero class, just happened to be on the same way."
"Are you serious?" Li Hua stared at him, like a Pig Hero expression pack, "I don’t trust you, swear it."
"I swear, I swear, brother, you can also find one like that in the future." Jiang Nian swore casually, since he didn’t have to spend money anyway.
Speaking of spending money, this damn system hasn’t given a task. Another hundredfold return, earning ten thousand and getting crit for a hundred thousand.
He wants to make money so badly, he dreams about it! So badly he wants to! If he could earn over a hundred thousand, he’d spend it all.
He wants to so badly!
"Cough, cough!! Let go!" Li Hua’s face turned red, his voice was weak, "Can’t... can’t breathe, let go!"
"Oh oh, sorry." Jiang Nian was embarrassed, helping Li Hua smooth out the wrinkles in his clothes, "Just suddenly lost in thought."
Li Hua, having narrowly escaped, waved his hand and said.
"Considering how auspicious your words are....."
Zhang Ningzhi didn’t believe Jiang Nian’s nonsense, turned her head and glared at him. Thinking there can’t be so many coincidences, there’s probably something fishy.
"I swear on Li Hua’s hundred-year romantic luck..."
The midday class was quite dull, and in the blink of an eye, it was time to go home.
Jiang Nian went downstairs and waited for a while at the fourth class door. He happened to catch Xu Qianqian and put the small trinket into her hat.
"Giving you something, bye-bye."
Said and he turned around to leave.
Before turning around, he deliberately glanced at Song Xiyun. Their eyes met, and Xiao Song’s gaze shifted away as if burned.
Xiao Song, the guilt is heavy.
"Hey, who let you touch my hat! You..." Xu Qianqian reached back to take the trinket from her hoodie hat and turned her head to find he was gone.
"So annoying! This guy is so irritating!"
"What thing is it?" Song Xiyun diverted the topic without a trace.
"Dunno, haven’t looked closely." Xu Qianqian opened her palm to reveal a small trinket, "It’s ugly."
Though she said that, she still put the trinket in her pocket.
"Let’s go, if we’re late, there’ll be a lot of people."
"Oh oh, okay." Song Xiyun nodded, meanwhile feeling complex.
Previously she thought about bookkeeping, later owing Jiang Nian too much. Estimating paying it all back might need to wait until after university. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet
She calculated that part-time needs...
Biting the hand that feeds, she instinctively helped Jiang Nian out of the bind. Doing so let her feel a bit better psychologically.
It’s like paying back interest.
Jiang Nian didn’t know about this at all, nor did he care. Since start to finish, it had been Song Xiyun insisting on paying back.
It was actually just incidental matters, the money wasn’t spent on Song Xiyun.
Just that this girl holds onto rules stubbornly, even the scratch-off lottery five thousand. It was split half for Jiang Nian, and she’d give it back later.
What can you do, just have to accept it.
Jiang Nian just came out of the dining hall, looking wistful.
After changing seats recently, he missed the class leader’s hand, feeling uncomfortable. Chat opportunities were also less, online..... even fewer words.
Thinking to himself, how could he hold the class leader’s hand.
Ding, a panel popped up again.
[Standing at the crossroads of thirty-eight years old...]
Seeing this, he blinked a few times.
This damn system every time it pops up, emphasizes the age. Pure and downright pressure monster, luckily he’s only eighteen.
[You reunite with Zhang Ningzhi, date, obtain forgiveness, and resolve her emotional ties, at an upscale restaurant, she reveals a decade of experiences.
After breaking up, she resigned from the advertising company. She also secretly visited Zhen Nan to find you multiple times, but lacked the courage to meet during crucial moments.
