Xu Yuanshan limped along, reluctantly saying goodbye to Jiang Nian. Jiang Nian glanced at his leg and then at Xu Shuang, who seemed indifferent, breaking into a cold sweat. "It’s fine, I fell on my own." Xu Yuanshan wiped his tears, "It hurts a bit, I’ll try not to fall so hard next time." Xu Shuang glanced at the silly Odoudou but didn’t acknowledge him. "Be careful next time." "I will." Xu Yuanshan instantly became honest, with a bitter face, but then smiled as he picked up the [King]. Silly kid, so easily satisfied. "Thank you this time." Xu Shuang thanked him, smiling, "Sorry for the embarrassment." "No problem." Jiang Nian felt a bit awkward. Looking at the kick that landed on Xu Yuanshan’s leg, he could only think that with such a sister, it would be hard for Yuanshan to turn bad. Raising card prices at a second-hand fish market was probably the worst he’d ever done. Xie Zhihao was even more dumbfounded, just watching from the side. He had wanted to intervene earlier but didn’t know in what capacity to speak. Seeing the group disperse, he finally caught up, eagerly suggesting. Jiang Nian turned around and left, heading towards the school. On the way, he randomly found a shop to fill his stomach. Rushing and hurrying, he slipped back into school just before the lunch break curfew. As he was going upstairs, he unexpectedly ran into Ji Jiayu. "Hi." She paused for a moment, then stopped, smiling and waving, "What a coincidence." "Indeed." Jiang Nian nodded in response. He’s not into that "wife" stuff, so he’s quite polite to Ji Jiayu, even if she is the grade leader. "How much did you score on the joint exam?" she asked directly. Jiang Nian wasn’t trying to act superior, but people kept asking about his scores, so he could only honestly tell his results. He loved these genuinely surprised responses, the thrill of showing off was infinite, every question was a joy. "Not that much, how much did your husband score again?" Jiang Nian couldn’t help being a bit cheeky, feeling uncomfortable otherwise. "Can you mention this trivial thing for a year?" She was speechless, "By the way, I heard the result for the ’three good students’ came out." "Hmm?" Jiang Nian was surprised. To be fair, Little Turtle’s news is quite accurate. "Did you see the result?" "No." Ji Jiayu slowly sidestepped up the stairs, keeping a distance, "Do you want me to check it for you?" Saying this, she slightly tilted her head and winked. "No need, I’m not one for honors." Jiang Nian waved it off, "I don’t even know what ’three good students’ means." Hearing this, Ji Jiayu was stunned for a few seconds. A green tea girl meeting a show-off dog, it was kind of exhaustive. There was no desire for female attraction in those eyes, only... "Seriously, when you say that." Ji Jiayu opened her mouth, "Don’t you feel like laughing yourself?" He answered truthfully, "Not really, I held it in." Jiang Nian wasn’t averse to beauty, it was just that Ji Jiayu was too troublesome. Being regular friends and sparring occasionally was fine. To actually do that, well, that’s another story. This woman was too much trouble. The two parted at the hallway entrance, entering their respective classrooms. Sparring was just incidental; life in senior year still had to go on. Jiang Nian returned to his seat, suddenly realizing he seemed to owe Ji Jiayu a small favor, which he had yet to repay. On Christmas Eve, when Lin Dong was selling apples. Ji Ming brought the security guard to clear the stall and chase people away, but Little Turtle said a few words to help, letting Lin Dong happily earn for half an hour. That was Lin Dong’s debt, though! No, Lin Dong owed him, and he owed Ji Jiayu. Those two were clear about it, passing the favor onto him. The benefit? Zhou Haifei also owed him a favor. 1+1＞1, Jiang Nian still made a small gain. Moreover, it didn’t seem like Ji Jiayu intended to ask for it. She seemed to be saving it for stacking in the future. No big deal, deal with it next time. "Jiang Nian, look, glow stick!" Wang Yuhe mysteriously took out a lollipop, "How about it?" "Hmm, quite rare." Jiang Nian nodded, giving his approval, "Do you have more? Give me one to play with." "Yes, Yunyun has more." Wang Yuhe’s face lit up with joy upon hearing this, "I’ll go get one for you." That said, she happily slipped away. Jiang Nian clicked his tongue and continued to prop his head on his hand, looking at the questions. Who would want to play with such childish things? After a while, Chen Yunyun came over. Saying so, two more lollipops appeared on the table. "I’ve really never played with this glow stick, let’s open it and see." Jiang Nian handed the lollipops to Chen Yunyun. "I don’t eat candy, after you finish, give me the glow stick." Hearing this, Chen Yunyun gave him a blank look. "I don’t eat either." "I eat, give them all to me!" Wang Yuhe came over, patting her chest and said, "Give me an afternoon!" "I can produce at least four!" The lunch break bell rang. Jiang Nian and Chen Yunyun couldn’t hold back, exchanged a glance, then simultaneously looked at Wang Yuhe’s teeth. "Aren’t you afraid of cavities?" "Exactly, toothaches are excruciating," Chen Yunyun reminded, "Stabbing pain, throbbing in waves." Wang Yuhe heard this, nonchalantly said. "I stop when it feels like my teeth are about to hurt, right?" Jiang Nian gave a thumbs up, "Genius." Wang Yuhe, easily swayed by flattery, was so encouraged that she immediately gave the lollipop she had finished to Jiang Nian. Chen Yunyun felt a bit tired and leaned back to stretch her neck. She glanced quickly at Jiang Nian’s seat. Jiang Nian was still bent over, working on problems, the pen in his hand twirling incessantly. She propped her head up with her hand, quietly watching him for a few seconds. Suddenly, she heard a rustling noise. Turning her head, she saw Wang Yuhe with her head on the desk, covered by a jacket, revealing a bewildered face when she looked up. "What are you doing...?" "Yunyun, come over here." Wang Yuhe pulled her into the jacket, where pink fluorescent light flickered in the darkness. "Huh?" Chen Yunyun was bewildered. She lowered her voice, incredulous as she looked at Wang Yuhe. "Is this all just to see this?" "Yeah." Wang Yuhe said as if it was obvious, "It’s too bright during the day; I’m planning to enjoy this slowly under the covers tonight." "Alright then." Chen Yunyun withdrew from the VIP seat of the glow stick viewing, "I’m sleepy, gonna take a nap first." Wang Yuhe swallowed her frustration, thinking Jiang Nian would definitely understand her. Glow sticks are really fun! Jiang Nian woke up before the bell rang, spotting two glow sticks on his desk, leaving him puzzled for a few seconds. "Wasn’t there just one before?" He cradled his head, starting to question his own memory. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩 "Complete birdbrain." "What bird?" Zeng You turned around, arriving early today, and jokingly said, "Let me see." Jiang Nian stood up and began unbuckling his belt. "See? I won’t lose anything." Zeng You, realizing he was serious, quickly turned around with a changed expression. The bell for the end of lunchtime rang just in time. Jiang Nian clicked his tongue, stopping his actions. He yawned and swaggered out of the classroom. After using the bathroom, he saw a few male classmates chatting there. "Damn, my multiple-choice score is so low." "Don’t know, I didn’t bring an eraser. Scratched off the option on the answer sheet, don’t know if it’s graded wrong now." On hearing this, Jiang Nian laughed. People from Class 3 really knew how to mess things up; how could they expect to catch any correct answers this way? "There you are!" Wang Yuhe suddenly popped out from nowhere, "I’ve been looking for you! Did you see what I gave you?" "What... oh~" He suddenly realized, "The extra glow stick was from you, huh?" "Exactly!" Wang Yuhe’s eyes widened, "I rushed to make it, nearly killed me." Jiang Nian clasped his hands together, "Thanks for your hard work, Master Wang." Liu Yang and a few other boys were originally talking about games. Seeing Jiang Nian and Wang Yuhe’s interaction, they suddenly felt a bit envious. "Forget it, there’s something gross here." "Let’s go, let’s go." "Damn, I want a glow stick too." "Hey, speaking of, I’ve got a nice stick here. But it only glows under the covers, you want it?" "Woohoo!" Li Hua skidded into the classroom, holding a Magic Card, "Whoa, good stuff is here." "Holy shit?" Ma Guojun pushed up his glasses, stood up and said, "This is really something good, where’d you get it?" Zhang Ningzhi, sitting at the innermost spot, heard the commotion without understanding, and habitually poked Jiang Nian to ask. "What are they talking about?" "Oh, Magic Card." Jiang Nian got up to take a look, "Actually, it’s nothing much, just statistics going haywire...." "Whoa, Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian’s unfinished sentence was cut short. He immediately jumped out of his seat. "Where, let me see!!" It wasn’t until the class bell rang that Jiang Nian reluctantly returned to his seat, waiting to secretly look some more after Li Hua came back. "Put it inside the desk." "Hemu, this is amazing." Jiang Nian clicked his tongue in wonder, "It’s fine to forget about Orihalcon, but a whole heap of ban cards?" "Indeed, what if it’s the Great Mage." Li Hua asked. "I would tear up your card and punch you with a smile," Jiang Nian responded, "Because you know." "I’m kind of reserved." "Chi Shi!" Li Hua pointed at him, Dalmatian-style, "That’s what you mean by reserved?" Before Qingbao entered the room. Suddenly, a slender hand reached out from the back row, tapping Jiang Nian’s shoulder, and pausing mid-air. "What’s up?" Jiang Nian turned his head. Li Qingrong glanced at him, lowered her eyes and said. "Just passed by the first floor, Teacher Qi asked me to call you. In the afternoon during the break, go to her office." Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian nodded. "Chi Shi!" Li Hua couldn’t take it, "Why are your math scores so good, otherwise... ah!!" Jiang Nian said nothing because Qingbao had already entered. After a while, he took advantage of the lecture’s pause and turned to pat Li Hua, calmly asking. "Hua, who do you think is prettier, Qingbao or Xuebao?" Li Hua blushed instantly, "Your mom!!"
