Hearing this, Lin Dong perked up. He didn’t even have time to wipe his feet, and, in the middle of winter, stood in the dormitory hallway wearing wet slippers to open the app. Lin Dong went in only to find a blank page, so he went to the window and lifted his phone. "Dear God, I sacrifice Ah Cheng’s five-year romantic luck, just get me the results quickly! And by the way, bless me with a high score." The next second, the screen refreshed. The screen showed: Candidate: Lin Dong. Only the math section appeared, black three digits: 130. Seeing this, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Getting 130 in math is already a very high score for the entire senior year, but he was the class representative. Even the math class representative of the parallel class could score this. Hu Nianzhong rushed out, excitedly saying. "The results are out!" However, looking up, Lin Dong was already back in bed. "What results?" He turned his back and went to sleep facing the wall, "I’m already lying down, the results don’t matter anymore." Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on NoveI[F]ire.net Seeing this, Hu Nianzhong had no choice but to find an excuse to sneak away. "The scores are out!" Zeng You came in, took out his phone, "Crap, there was no signal on the stairs." Zeng You was thrilled; cramming before the exam wasn’t a bad idea after all. After his excitement, he tossed his phone to Wu Jungu, who was with him. "Log into your account and check your score." On the top bunk, Lin Dong was too distressed to sleep. Meanwhile, in the corridor outside the classroom. "Woohoo, 123." Jiang Nian smiled cheekily, putting his phone back in his pocket, "The number is so auspicious." His original psychological expectation was in the 110s, so scoring over 120 meant his exam luck must have been maxed out. In the corridor, he saw Chen Yunyun approaching. He immediately changed his expression. "What’s up?" Chen Yunyun glanced at him, a bit confused, "The math scores are out, did you know?" "Did you do poorly?" she asked. Chen Yunyun was a bit at a loss, so she could only comfort him. "A low score doesn’t really mean much..." Jiang Nian originally wanted to say something abstract, like not knowing whose cake he understood, Chinese education, you’ve won! A few billionaires doing nothing but figuring out how to target me. The power of capital is just too strong! But unfortunately, the person in front of him wasn’t Li Hua. Even if he said it, no one would appreciate his humor. Oh well, I’ll just garner some sympathy. "It’s normal, my math was never stable anyway." Jiang Nian said, "If one day, I end up in a second-tier university, what then?" Chen Yunyun instinctively said, "I’d go to a school close to yours." "Hmm?" Jiang Nian was a bit baffled. Chen Yunyun was at a loss for words, she didn’t know what to say for a moment. "I... I meant, every city’s university town isn’t far away. No matter how the scores turn out, they’re all..." She was still there, blushing while explaining, eyes blinking, making it more and more chaotic. But the sun was a bit too much, Jiang Nian wanted to go into the classroom, so he shook his head and said. "It’s fine, I want some peace." As he turned around, he met a pair of wise eyes from afar. Running over, full of excitement, she said. "The math scores are out!" "Yunyun, how many points did you get in math?" Wang Yuhe’s face was flushed, "I went over 140 in math." "I... I haven’t checked yet." Chen Yunyun glanced at Jiang Nian; she actually had checked, it was 138. The scores hadn’t improved or dropped, but it was still quite high. "And Jiang Nian!" Wang Yuhe leaned in closely, "The paper was easier this time, is it over 130?" Hearing this, Jiang Nian was genuinely pained this time. The paper was easier... why didn’t I find it easy! The simpler the paper, the more my scores would get beaten by others. Wang Yuhe’s big grape eyes looked at him, her clever little mind working, "Could you also have 140?" Jiang Nian calmly said, "I want to die." Upon hearing this, Chen Yunyun, having just stopped blushing, hurriedly pulled Wang Yuhe away, her words too blunt. "He... didn’t do well." "Huh?" Wang Yuhe looked up, only to find Jiang Nian had already left, "He... will he cry somewhere?" Downstairs, drops of water fell onto the cement under the basketball hoop. "Having ice cream in winter is really great, just that it’s too easy to melt at noon." Jiang Nian muttered. "Damn, got it on my hands." Jiang Nian didn’t have a tissue, so he searched around. Fortunately, heaven rewards the diligent, he found a pack of tissues under the basketball hoop. "It’s even green tea flavored, not bad." He mumbled, pulling out a pack of wild tissues. After using the last two sheets, he rubbed off the ice cream mark on the ground. "I’m really freaking civilized." Just as he was about to get up, he felt the wind in his eyes, saw that the tissues were used up. After a while, two girls walked up together. "Yunyun, look, he’s been crying here." Wang Yuhe pointed to the marks on the ground, "There’s even a tissue wrapper." "Huh?" Chen Yunyun was a bit baffled, looking back at him, "Are you okay?" Chen Yunyun asked. Wang Yuhe: "Did you cry?" Jiang Nian was bewildered, but quickly realized. "Sigh, for you to see such a thing, if only a kind person would buy me a Sprite." "Me me me!!!" Wang Yuhe volunteered enthusiastically. She’s just a bit straightforward, but not truly daft. Knowing she made Jiang Nian cry, she felt guilty inside. Jiang Nian watched Wang Yuhe run off, and couldn’t help but squint his eyes. Chen Yunyun: ".... Always just conning others." "No, aren’t they different?" Jiang Nian said, "I didn’t do well is true, being sad is also true." Saying this, Jiang Nian sat down, idle and bored. So he pinched Chen Yunyun’s hand, which was also soft. Chen Yunyun let him pinch for a while before withdrawing her hand. "Which of your words are true?" "Of course, all of them are true, I can answer any of your questions." Jiang Nian’s head leaned against the cold basketball hoop. Chen Yunyun stared at him for a while. Jiang Nian thought she was going to ask about the math score, but to his surprise, Chen Yunyun said. Li Hua slid into the classroom with a honeyed smile plastered on his face, looking like a sneaky weasel. "Hey Nian, guess my score." "Guess your mom," Jiang Nian said bluntly. "Jealous, I get it." Li Hua laughed arrogantly, flicking his bangs, "I humbly scored 148." "Did you get a perfect score? Then bark like a dog," Jiang Nian said indifferently. The chubby guy, Ma Guojun, walked in and pointed at Li Hua. "He barked like a dog all the way here." "Kidding me, perfect scores aren’t that easy," Li Hua snorted, "You get a perfect score and show me." As it happened, Li Qingrong came in. Jiang Nian donned a similar honeyed smile. Under Li Hua’s puzzled gaze, he turned to Li Qingrong. "Qingqing, did you see the score?" Li Hua thought to himself, Chi Shi, not even pretending now. But at the same time, he got nervous, hoping for a certain result. Please don’t... just this once, let me be first. "Perfect score?" Jiang Nian asked. Li Qingrong nodded, "Yeah." Li Hua died on the spot. "Haha, why aren’t you barking now?" Ma Guojun laughed too, "Li Hua, it looks like you’ve never gotten a perfect score." "Chi Shi!!" Li Hua retorted, "Just never got one in the big exams, shut up, will ya?" Jiang Nian didn’t mind; he’d never gotten a perfect score either. "All geniuses around here." "Who?" Li Hua perked up. Zhang Ningzhi walked into the classroom with a playful smile she couldn’t hide, even greeting Jiang Nian. Jiang Nian propped his head with his hand, looked at her, "Not good, unless you tell me your math score is the same as mine." "How many points did you get?" Zhang Ningzhi sat down. Zhang Ningzhi hesitated, then wrote a number on paper, gently tapping Jiang Nian’s shoulder. Jiang Nian glanced at it and gasped. "How did you achieve that?" "A bit of luck, I did similar questions on conic sections," Zhang Ningzhi winked. At the same time, she made a "small yet cute" gesture. "Oh, what rank are you in the class?" "Incredible, there are still people ahead of you?" Jiang Nian was dumbfounded, doubting if he was studying the same math as them. In the afternoon, it was still discussion on the exam papers. Jiang Nian propped his head with his hand, listened to the class in utter boredom. Currently, his grades were like a triangle. Arts were strong, science was weak, math and physics appeared fragile. Chinese, let’s not even mention it. As Lao Liu put it, Chinese is all about last-minute cramming. Exam skills play a large role during exams. Little study session. In the office, Lao Liu exhaled after sipping some hot tea and then set it down. "How’s it going with Teacher Qi’s side?" "Still okay, I guess." Jiang Nian didn’t know how to explain, "I’ve been visiting often these two days, his attitude towards me is quite good." "Hmm, that’s good." Lao Liu nodded. He thought "often" meant once a day. Just a greeting, asking a few questions, but in reality... "Have you estimated your total score this time?" After a moment of hesitation, Jiang Nian said, "Guessed around 620 or 630, as a bottom line." "Oh, that’s alright." Lao Liu quietly added a few points, "This time, deduct thirty points, that’s your college entrance exam score." "Barely make it into a 985 school, and aiming for C9. You must pull up the weak subjects’ scores, stable between 680." "Teacher, I won’t apply to Qingbei." Jiang Nian said quietly. "With this score, what Qingbei are you talking about!" Lao Liu almost got angry, how could he end up with such an unaspiring student. "Right, Teacher." Jiang Nian remembered something he was asked to do, "When is the winter break?" "I have a friend....." "No outsiders here." Lao Liu leaned back in his chair, "Around Little New Year, wait until the education bureau issues the document." "Oh, and if I wanted to stay a few more days in the dorm?" Jiang Nian pondered his words, "Can...stay for a few days?" "What kind of nonsense are you asking?" Lao Liu looked disgusted, but Jiang Nian’s grades and accolades piled up had built up his patience. "At most a week, the auntie also needs to celebrate New Year’s Eve." "Alright, thank you, teacher." Jiang Nian stood up, ready to leave. What other teachers said might not be reliable, but "Progress Liu" had a lot of responsibilities and authority. This is authority, guaranteed. As it neared the night self-study session. Jiang Nian walked out from the cafeteria, gazing at the brightly lit campus. He couldn’t help but feel that rest time was truly scarce. Suddenly, someone rushed past from behind and bumped into him. He just swayed a little, while the person behind wasn’t so lucky and fell to the ground with a thud. Jiang Nian wasn’t that kind-hearted; not extorting them was already the moral baseline. "Buddy, are you driving a hundred-ton truck?" He turned around to look carefully, and it was a familiar face. "Oh, it’s you." He Minjun rubbed her eyes, she seemed slightly nearsighted, "Is your name really Li Hua?" "Yeah, just forgot to bring my student ID." Jiang Nian said, "Running so fast, is the fourth year starting late study early?" "Yeah, our class starts ten minutes early." He Minjun felt a little embarrassed, asking guiltily, "Did I hit you hard?" It was okay, her shock absorption was quite soft. "A little, your bones are too hard." Jiang Nian said, "I was thinking, what a hundred-ton truck passed by." "Is it that exaggerated?" He Minjun felt relieved seeing he was fine. She patted her pants, "Really envy you seniors, I wish I was in senior year now." Jiang Nian thought for a moment, "Then you’d really have to find a hundred-ton truck." He Minjun was speechless, then walked along with him. "You’re really annoying."
