Tsk tsk, can’t wait to go to university in Hongdu. For him, time flies. One semester nearly over, hardly attended any classes. The most memorable thing over the past six months was two people leaving the group, and two new ones joining from the advanced class. Watching Jiang Nian’s score soar from 570 to 650. Couldn’t help but sigh and reflect. Maybe I should start working hard too... starting tomorrow. We’ll play hard today to study well tomorrow. Back from the morning exercise. The grade sheet passed around the class for a few days, slowly making its way. Finally, it reached Zhou Yuting. She fanned herself as she browsed the grade sheet. "Actually in the top five." Meanwhile, a few boys in class were glancing subconsciously while loudly chatting, all focusing on one spot. That is, Zhou Yuting with her fair skin, oval face, and willow eyebrows. "I think she’s pretty too." Two familiar boys openly conversing in secret code, chuckling with a knowing smile on their faces. Moved to the back row, lowering their voices. "So quiet and gentle, you gonna chase her?" "Then you chase, I’ll buy a set of test papers and go all out now." Even joking, the two were still fond of Zhou Yuting, whether to chase or not held no real reference. To those who don’t know her, she’s just a quiet and diligent girl. In reality, she’s Jiang Nian’s arch-nemesis. As the two chatted, they saw Xie Zhihao approaching Zhou Yuting, holding a water card, seemingly trying to please her. "Wow, a pathetic simp!" "Can you bear this? Weren’t you just saying you were gonna chase her?" "Damn! If he’s so enthusiastic, why doesn’t he help fill our water too?" "Silly bird, he’s from the advanced class. You can’t beat him, just swallow your pride and endure it." "Am I scared of him?" Suddenly, they saw Zhou Yuting not even lifting her head, seemingly engrossed in her homework, waving off Xie Zhihao. Seeing this, the two immediately felt a rush of satisfaction. Served him right! Damn! "The way she studies, so focused." Zhou Yuting stared at the grade sheet, breathing heavily. Not sure which kind soul marked the progress scores. On the paper sheet, Jiang Nian had three consecutive upward arrows. Indicating continuous improvement, each increase was at least twenty points. Quite steady, even terrifyingly so. The advancing subjects were all in humanities. Biology, Chemistry, Chinese, English, it can be said that after finding the right direction, he climbed hard. This made Zhou Yuting realize that from the beginning, Jiang Nian wasn’t doing it for himself, but was already prepared to improve his scores. Moreover, had improved to a terrifying score. Six hundred and fifty. She felt slightly suffocated, this was a score that with a little more boost could be recognized by the principal. She had to fight for her life just to have a chance to catch up to him. She squeezed her fingers, taking a deep breath. Handing the grade sheet to Yang Qiming, continuing to bury herself in her work. Almost simultaneously, she caught a glimpse of someone entering from outside the classroom. Jiang Nian, walking against the light, tall and slender. His facial features smooth and refreshing, walking with boldness and confidence. Such a demeanor can’t be faked, he already had the calm and collected aura of a male deity. Suddenly, feeling a bit uncomfortable. As soon as Jiang Nian heard the bell, he slipped away; the chicken leg at the cafeteria waits for no one. Six yuan for a quadruple chicken leg meal, totally worth it. Chapters fırst released on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝕟𝕖𝕥 "Hehe, chicken leg meal." "Li Hua, do you like chicken legs?" "Oh my god! A ghost?" Jiang Nian was startled, his heart skipping a few beats, "Oh my god, it’s you?" "Why are you so surprised?" He Minjun asked puzzledly. "Nothing much, just got acquaintances in this cafeteria." Jiang Nian spoke while scouting around, "You also eat in the cafeteria?" He Minjun didn’t quite understand why he was talking while looking everywhere. "Yeah, when I don’t have time I also eat bread occasionally." "Oh, then you surely like bread very much." Jiang Nian confirmed the coast was clear, sighing in relief. "Who would actually like bread?" He Minjun laughed, exasperated. After finishing the meal, she subconsciously looked for Jiang Nian. Not for anything else, just felt comfortable being together. Jiang Nian wouldn’t ask random questions, and always seemed unwilling. Though his words could be sharp, he was good-looking. From the perspective of enjoying a meal, dining with him had high cost-effectiveness. "Why are you sitting in such a corner?" He Minjun looked for him before finding a seat, "Been searching for you for ages." A crisp voice sounded beside them. He Minjun paused, turning to see a girl. Somehow standing beside the table, her expression a bit resentful. "Uh..." Jiang Nian felt immersed. "Senior, who is she?" Lin Yuxi sat down next to Jiang Nian, a bit angry, "Didn’t you say no dating?" "This is a senior from the fourth grade." Jiang Nian introduced, but didn’t address Lin Yuxi’s last question. Explaining would only disrupt his rhythm. Lin Yuxi glanced at He Minjun, feeling a bit melancholic, thinking: is this the adult woman already? After all, she can legally go to a hotel now. "This is a first-year junior." Jiang Nian replied quickly, introducing Lin Yuxi to He Minjun. As for the explanation of relationships, just leave it to speculation. The scene quieted down, and finally, He Minjun took the initiative to introduce herself, adding a comment. "We are just friends." "I’m Lin Yuxi, first-year." She followed with her introduction, adding, "We are good friends." One friend, one good friend. Actually..... not much of a difference, together their intimacy level with Jiang Nian was not even as high as the cafeteria auntie’s. He focused on eating, wholeheartedly devouring the chicken leg meal. "Today’s meal is really delicious." Upon hearing this, He Minjun glanced at him. She generally grasped what Lin Yuxi was all about. It was just an accidental encounter, she didn’t want to stir trouble. "Senior, is the fourth grade tough?" Lin Yuxi asked. "Hmm?" He Minjun was a bit confused, instinctively responded, "Yeah, gotta do six sets of papers every day." "Then you must study hard, don’t waste time on other things." Lin Yuxi said sarcastically. He Minjun paused, smiling. "Thanks for the reminder, junior." "But as a senior who’s been there, I also have one piece of advice." "No matter how good the friends are, once one goes to college and one stays in high school, they will gradually have less in common." Jiang Nian loved watching women fight, as long as it wasn’t because of him, he stood up abruptly after finishing his meal. He left swiftly under Lin Yuxi’s shocked gaze. Buying water, going upstairs. Jiang Nian felt no guilt about escaping, he had already explained everything to Lin Yuxi, she just refused to believe. Almost college entrance exams, dating was pointless. Besides, finding someone younger and leaving opportunities for junior brothers, then getting a green hat? Let’s not mention that handsome wouldn’t do, even Jiao Enjun got betrayed. So, Jiang Nian never approached trouble. His attitude towards people was always clear and distinct. Outside the classroom in the hallway. Jiang Nian saw Wang Yuhe holding a small mirror with a men’s clinic ad, checking his teeth, and laughed. "What are you doing?" "Checking my wisdom teeth, can’t see them." Wang Yuhe put away the mirror, "Jiang Nian, my teeth really hurt." "You!!!" Wang Yuhe mumbled, "I learned a witchcraft technique that transfers pain." "So, can you pull out a tooth for me?" "What’s the deal with that?" Jiang Nian was puzzled. Wang Yuhe swallowed his anger, "I just feel better seeing you suffer horrendously." Jiang Nian couldn’t hold his laughter, tugged Wang Yuhe’s cheek. "Let me help you pull it out!" "Ouch, ouch, let go!" Wang Yuhe gasped, "Doctor said can’t pull for now!"
