"Hmph, all you know is eat, eat, eat!!"
Upon hearing this, Li Qingrong, who was resting her head and working on problems in the back row, looked up. After a moment of thought, she nodded imperceptibly.
Jiang Nian was leading the way, already eating.
Aaaah, this meal is damn tasty.
He had already scouted; the junior who likes to refresh in the cafeteria wasn’t around, so he could enjoy his lunch in peace.
A crisp voice suddenly rang out, startling him.
"Not a ghost, it’s me." Lin Yuxi set down her tray and sat opposite him, "Senior, I’m so happy to see you!"
"You’re happy too soon." Jiang Nian was about to get up and change seats.
"No way!" Lin Yuxi was about to cry with frustration, quickly pulling him back, "Why are you !"
"Hey, talk properly; don’t pull," Jiang Nian sat back down, glancing at the onlookers around them.
"Others might think I’m some sort of scumbag."
Lin Yuxi laughed and cried at the same time.
"Isn’t that the case?"
"Actually, I’m introverted and socially anxious," he said offhandedly, "so I don’t like eating with people I know."
"I don’t believe it." Lin Yuxi shook her head.
"Damn, you got me." Jiang Nian accepted the reality, "How come I always run into you? Do you live in the cafeteria?"
At these words, Lin Yuxi spoke softly.
"Don’t you ever wonder why you always run into me?"
Jiang Nian gestured as if whispering among girls, "You must really love the cafeteria; you’re an unabashed little foodie."
The expression on Lin Yuxi’s face disappeared, ".....No, it’s because I often come to this cafeteria for meals!"
"Though I’ve seen you having meals with other pretty girls a few times."
"Spying on me, huh?" Jiang Nian pointed at her.
He feared these one-track-minded girls the most; Lin Yuxi might as well have "relationship obsessed" written on her forehead.
No matter how sweet it is, you can’t date, or you’ll get into trouble.
If one day she sees him out with another girl, there might just be a show right there, exchanging one chopstick for another.
Lin Yuxi had wanted to retort, but on second thought, that guy is just ; continuing would only waste time.
So, she directly changed the subject and asked,
"Senior, have you guys finished the provincial joint exam?"
"What’s your score?" Lin Yuxi pursed her lips, her face full of anticipation, "We had a monthly test too, if I score higher than you....."
However, Jiang Nian’s words poured cold water on her.
"Scores aren’t out yet, probably over six hundred thirty or forty."
The light in Lin Yuxi’s eyes instantly dimmed; converting to first-year scores... is this even a score a human can achieve?
"How did you improve again?"
"Born with a gift, if not improving, should I be regressing?" Jiang Nian asked, "By the way, how about you?"
Lin Yuxi: ".....I..... I’ll tell you next time."
After that, she kept her head down and continued eating.
Jiang Nian smiled slightly, thinking, little one, can’t pin you down? Low-score kid, and trying to date others?
The buildings for first-years and third-years were quite far apart, completely different routes.
Lin Yuxi could only stand there, watching Jiang Nian swagger out of the cafeteria, feeling inexplicably aggrieved.
But thinking again that she wasn’t someone easy to mess with either, she felt relieved.
"I will definitely... surpass the senior!"
Before entering the classroom, Jiang Nian sneaked a peek inside. Seeing that Wang Yuhe wasn’t there, he went in.
Counting on fingers, Monday’s hair washing day.
But even until the morning break ended, Chen Yunyun and her group hadn’t returned.
Just as Jiang Nian was feeling strange, a message popped up on his phone. It was from Chen Yunyun, saying they were delayed by washing hair.
However, they were not asking him to find an uncle to open the door.
Chen Yunyun: "Come to the side gate and take the kiwi, we’ll have lunch in the room today."
He thought a bit and temporarily got a pack of Hehua from Liu Yang.
Even smoking lotus? What kind of good high school student does that?
First commandeered it.
Jiang Nian started heading downstairs, messaging Liu Yang along the way. He V’d him fifty, figuring it was fine to trouble him a few more times.
"A little help, South Korea. (red packet)"
"You’re really disgusting in a way, love you."
He ambled over to the side gate, ready to make an offering to the uncle. Seeing Chen Yunyun waving, he walked over first.
"Not going back to the classroom?"
Chen Yunyun’s hair was fluffy, obviously just washed. Lips red, teeth white, she looked up at him across the green grid iron gate.
"Haven’t showered yet."
"Oh, you’re planning to shower at noon?" Jiang Nian understood, then asked, "Have you eaten?"
Not seeing Wang Yuhe, naturally he only asked Chen Yunyun.
"Yes, ate outside." Chen Yunyun smiled, "I gotta go over, the water is about to boil."
As she spoke, she handed Jiang Nian the sliced fruit through the fence.
After taking it, he asked again.
"Watching the water heater over there, afraid it might explode." Chen Yunyun said, "Well... I’m going over now?"
On the way back to the classroom, Jiang Nian held a plastic box of kiwi slices in one hand, a pack of Hehua in the other.
Thinking what a situation this was.
Once in the classroom, he casually threw the Hehua into the desk compartment. No one in class smokes this stuff; you’d probably pass out from it.
When you wake up depends on how strong your parents’ grip is.
He had developed a habit of doing problems till 1:30 PM for a lunch break, too lazy to change it now, continued solving along the trajectory.
Life was still fulfilling and exhausting.
After the lunch break. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs NoveI[F]ire.net
He woke up groggy, just in time to see Zhang Ningzhi walking into the classroom with a tap-tap-tap, stopping in front of her seat.
She pursed her pink lips, "Jiang Nian, I need to get in."
Jiang Nian got up, ready to step out into the hallway to catch some fresh air. Meanwhile, he composed his expression, feigning seriousness to her.
"Next time, just call and ask me to make way."
Zhang Ningzhi blinked, "Is that your nickname?"
Chi Shi was the nickname, whose nickname is "Make Way."
"I was overbearing as a child, my nickname was ’Papa’" Jiang Nian glanced sideways at her and gave a mysterious smile.
Who would have thought, Zhang Ningzhi wasn’t fooled.
She puffed her cheeks, "Hmph, I know you want to take advantage, I’m not that silly."
Jiang Nian thought, sooner or later.
Afternoon small study.
Lao Liu suddenly entered the class, startling Zeng You, who pretended to be reading seriously, secretly cursing.
Damn, why did Lao Liu come?
However, Lao Liu didn’t even notice him. He just hurriedly took Jiang Nian away, leaving together.
"Hey, what are they doing?" Zeng You asked.
"Who knows, probably breaking school rules." Li Hua sourly said, "Lao Liu too, why not look for me?"
Zeng You grinningly, "Indeed, leader you alone would break the rules with your looks."
Li Hua pointed at him, "Chi Shi!"
While going down the stairs.
"After all, things went through; Teacher Qi is recently picking a few elite students." Lao Liu sighed in relief.
"I’ve pushed you in, and you’re the only one from an outside class. If possible, try to be smart about it."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian unhesitatingly said.
"An outer disciple right?"
"What outer? But... pretty much right." Lao Liu said with concern, "Anyway, make sure you take this opportunity seriously."
"Teacher Qi is relatively young and less experienced but is very competent. Next year she’s preparing to lead first-year class zero."
Saying this, Lao Liu led him to the math office.
What Lao Liu said actually made Jiang Nian look forward to it a bit. Qi Xue is so impressive, his mathematics...
"My assigned homework must be completed with quality and quantity. Anyone who slacks off will be kicked out."
Walking through the door, several pairs of eyes looked his way.
Several students stood in a classic semicircle position, with a short-haired female teacher in the middle, her tall figure apparent even when seated.
Her nose was dainty, lips a bit thin. Her eyes were bright, and when not smiling, appeared somewhat stern.
The features individually weren’t outstanding, but together created a very soothing and unique beauty.
Especially when she smiled, it was like wildflowers blooming all over the mountains.
"Teacher Liu is here?"
"Yes, this is the student I mentioned." Lao Liu gave up his spot, turning to introduce.
