The two of them were brought up by Qingbao and punished to stand at the back door of the classroom listening to the lesson. "That’s it, Qingbao definitely doesn’t like me anymore." Li Hua held his book, feeling miserable, "Damn, it’s all your fault." The kid has Lu Yun-ed himself into hallucinations. It’s a cloudy day, it rained in the morning, and the outdoor temperature in the afternoon was low, with a chilly wind blowing. The classroom was brightly lit, and the door was tightly shut. "Carrier proteins are found on..." Qingbao was explaining the test paper from the podium, guiding the students to give answers, "Correct~!" "Found on the membrane, like hemoglobin transporting oxygen. What else, does anyone know another kind of protein?" "Recognition protein, glycoprotein." Jiang Nian said. "That’s right, there’s also..." Qingbao’s sweet voice echoed through the Little Bee in the drowsy classroom. The back row was like a warm stove, spacious and free. Li Hua leaned over mischievously, not afraid of Qingbao’s wrath, after all, he wouldn’t be sent out. So he bumped Jiang Nian with his shoulder. "Nian, do you think there are those proteins on the membrane?" "Tsk tsk tsk, you guys are disgusting, aren’t you?" Yu Zhiyi from the back of the first group turned around, looking at them with disdain. She was wearing a campus jacket, with a goose-yellow fleece liner. Her chest was slightly bulging, but not prominently. "I really can’t believe you guys are ." Upon hearing this, Li Hua blushed immediately. "No, I didn’t mean it like that... it’s... definitely not that meaning. Damn it Jiang Nian, you started it." No wonder they say Zhennan Guinan has some sayings, there’s some logic to it. Li Hua should go out and stop embarrassing us Zhennan people. Jiang Nian glanced at Yu Zhiyi and felt nothing internally. Yu Zhiyi was speechless, silenced by Jiang Nian’s two words. Her mouth opened, but she couldn’t utter a single word. I... I’m the class representative! Of course, Jiang Nian also knew she was the biology class representative. The water dripping from the eaves is passed on, Yu Zhiyi could only hold on. Pillow talk, who doesn’t know how to do it. During the 25-minute self-study session in the afternoon, Old Liu took Jiang Nian away. Old Liu actually didn’t have any serious matter, he just casually tossed Jiang Nian a bag of potato fish snacks, round and thin. Golden yellow, airy and crispy. It didn’t look too oily, with a small piece of fish protruding from the middle, releasing a fragrant aroma. "My wife made too much, you can share it with friends if you don’t eat it." Jiang Nian rarely heard the word "wife" from others, suddenly feeling Old Liu seemed quite the freeloader. "I like it, sir’s wife’s potato fish snacks are a feast for the senses." Upon hearing this, Old Liu’s expression softened slightly. "She liked eating them as a child, later specifically buying that round spatula. It tastes similar now, but not as good as when she was a child." "I think it’s quite nice, I really like it." Jiang Nian raised a disposable cup and took a sip of tea. He thought, this job of Old Liu’s doesn’t pay much. Yet his wife’s still in the mood to fry these, they must really be doing well financially. Old Liu oh Old Liu, for someone with thick eyebrows and big eyes... Didn’t think you’d also be living off a woman. Wait, why did I say "also"? "Cough, let’s talk business." Old Liu looked at him, "The Provincial Joint Exam is coming up, just half a month left. Do you have any thoughts?" "Score more points?" Jiang Nian hesitated to answer. He was greatly influenced by Qingbao, already becoming non-stick in attitude. If Old Liu didn’t clarify the situation, he definitely wouldn’t commit to anything. "Then you..." Old Liu laughed awkwardly, "You getting more points, of course you should score more, that’s obvious, isn’t it?" "The point is, what’s your goal?" ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ɴo(v)elFɪre.ɴet "What do you think, sir?" Jiang Nian sipped his tea, observing Old Liu as Old Liu also observed him. "Last time you scored 620, this time just..." "It’s 610, sir." Jiang Nian interrupted Old Liu, "Round it up, just a bit over 610." "Never mind, let’s just stick to your score." Old Liu hesitated for a few seconds, "How about setting a goal of 640?" "Yes, after the Provincial Joint Exam, it’s nearly the new year." Old Liu said vaguely, "The school should give red envelopes." "Do you know the specific amount?" Jiang Nian asked. "It’s based on grade ranking. If you perform well, the red envelope naturally will be big." Old Liu guided patiently, glancing at Jiang Nian. "Put in some effort, have a great new year?" Jiang Nian rubbed his chin, thinking to himself that Old Liu was quite savvy. "Alright, let’s set that goal for now." Hearing this, Old Liu seemed a bit hesitant. "Uh, 640, what kind of ranking that can get. It really depends on the difficulty of the exam, so don’t let your guard down." "Got it, got it." Jiang Nian put his teacup down and stood up, grabbing the potato fish snacks, "So, sir, I’ll get going first..." His eyes caught something, glimpsing at the few little toys on Old Liu’s desk. Rubber ducks, rubber pigs, squeaking when squeezed. Old Liu followed his gaze, a question mark gradually floating above his head. "Sir, can you give me one?" Jiang Nian took a stroll around the classroom and saw only Li Qingrong hadn’t gone to eat yet, so he gave her the rubber duck. "Squeeze it, and it makes a sound, quite fun." Li Qingrong took it and squeezed it with her fingers. The rubber duck let out a sharp scream, sounding a bit pitiful. It caught the attention of Cai Xiaoqing nearby, who couldn’t help but glance over a few times. The class leader nodded and placed it on the desk without expression. Jiang Nian felt a bit hungry, so he ran off to eat. Cai Xiaoqing turned to look at the class leader, seeing Li Qingrong pick up the rubber duck. Tucking it into her pocket, she stood up and walked out of the classroom. Thinking to herself, is the class leader going outside to play? But all she could see was her back. In evening self-study, the potato fish snacks were divided up among a group of boys. At the same time, a math class was spared for an evening self-study exam. Before that, the number of test papers for each subject was written on the blackboard, and more than a dozen test papers for each subject were distributed like snowflakes. "Heavens, just half a day off on Sunday, why so many test papers?" "Chi Shi, how can we finish?" "As long as we don’t Lu Yun, it’s fine." "Slander, this is blatant slander!" Li Hua blushed, turning to look at the unshakable Emperor Zeng You in the front row. He patted him, curiously asking. "Are you going to write the test papers?" Zeng You was reading a grand fantasy novel, where the protagonist sneak-attacked an enemy faction. Unable to win, he fled, growing while retaliating. Li Hua’s pat disrupted his excitement. "Just copy a few pages." Jiang Nian glanced at them, shaking his head tsk tsk. "Such damn depravity." Zhang Ningzhi leaned in to look at him, curiously asking. "Are you going to write the Chinese paper?" "Never mind." Jiang Nian replied. She immediately stopped talking, making a heavy note in her little mental notebook to settle accounts with him later! Hmph! Shouting at me! Jiang Nian’s peripheral vision noticed Zhang Ningzhi bending over her desk writing the paper again. He grew curious, wondering why she was always upset? Forget it, better ask first. He leaned over, glancing at Zhizhi from the side. Zhang Ningzhi couldn’t hold it in anymore and burst into laughter out of embarrassment, then she lightly punched him. "You’re the one crying!" The math exam commenced, swallowing time like a beast. With heads up and down, two hours vanished instantly. Once the papers were collected, it was already the third evening self-study period. Jiang Nian was thinking about the questions he couldn’t solve earlier, his brows knitting slightly. Math, forever the pain. At this time, Yao Beibei walked over to the sixth group. "Jiang Nian, let’s switch seats." "You guys are something, sticking together even during evening self-study?" Jiang Nian stood up with his test paper, "Can’t talk at home tonight?" "What do you know, don’t meddle in girls’ business." Yao Beibei was quite domineering, "And don’t touch the snacks in my desk drawer." Hmm? There’s a buffet too? After switching seats, Jiang Nian dug through her desk. He found a few snacks he liked to munch on and sneakily drank a box of juice. "You’re here again?" Yu Zhiyi turned and asked. Yu Zhiyi: "...You’re sick!" "You even know medicine?" Jiang Nian was surprised, curiously asked, "After college entrance exams, are you going to study medicine?" In the front row, Zhou Yuting listened to their bickering. Feeling slightly complicated inside. She suddenly thought of Jiang Nian’s grades, and her gaze dimmed a bit. With the Provincial Joint Exam nearing, would she still be able to win?
