"If your girlfriend’s around, she’d definitely love to hear you sing, right?" Hearing this, Yang Qiming instantly jumped up. "Brother Yang, calm down, calm down." Huang Caicai reached over a seat and pulled Yang Qiming back, "The homeroom teacher!!" Yang Qiming’s eyes shifted slightly, and he immediately shivered. Damn, isn’t that Lao Liu standing outside the classroom? The homeroom teacher’s presence descended like a storm. (Continues with four words.) He stood up, and with a quick thought, he brushed his hair and started loudly reciting vocabulary, which annoyed Zhou Yuting. "What’s wrong with you?" She covered her ears. Lao Liu was looking for Cai Xiaoqing and called her out. "Ahem, it’s almost the end of the term. (It’s the last post.)" "I understand it’s cold in the winter, but we’ve had a lot of late arrivals and early departures in class. (Just don’t be late or leave early.)" "Encourage the students to overcome it, and you should also endure a bit, so everyone can have a good year. (Just get by.)" "Mhm, okay." Cai Xiaoqing automatically filtered the information and translated it into Chinese, "I’ll try my best." Lao Liu didn’t find it odd to hear the words "try my best". "Thanks for your hard work." He’s just too familiar with the students of Class Three. He doesn’t plan to be too strict; as long as their grades are good, it’s fine. He grew up as a student too and knows these days are different from the past. Fresh chapters posted on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾※𝙣𝙚𝙩 To put it lightly, the world is getting worse, to put it sternly, it’s chaos. Why help if it’s not your fault? Being too straightforward will cost you. In the past, it was said that suffering losses was a blessing because of turbulent times. Compared to losing your life, it’s better to swallow your pride. Now, if you can suffer losses, there’s an endless amount of losses to suffer. Everyone in the class having character is a good thing. As long as no one is like Jiang Nian, it won’t be chaotic. Morning self-study ended. Jiang Nian turned to look at the class monitor, seeing Li Qingrong working on problems with her head down. He hesitated for a few seconds, then asked. "Did you get the ’Three Good Student’ award?" Hearing this, Li Qingrong looked up. "How come?" Jiang Nian was surprised and thought to himself, damn, is this evaluation that corrupt? Is it influenced by capital? Li Qingrong glanced at him and said flatly. "Too lazy to bother with it." "Alright then." Jiang Nian felt defeated, wishing this thing truly involved some capital interest, "I’ll ask Lao Liu again." The class monitor doesn’t want it, but he still has to compete for it. During the big break. Jiang Nian, carrying the test questions, headed downstairs to the math office. Several students were standing in front of Qi Xue’s desk as usual. All were top students, certainly better than Jiang Nian. As an Outer Disciple, he could only stand on the outer side. Before Jiang Nian could prepare himself, Qi Xue waved him over. "Did you finish all the assigned questions?" His gaze swept over the desk and found that the tea was already brewed. The desktop was clean and tidy. Damn, someone took my job. "Alright, wait a moment." Qi Xue nodded, his eyes sweeping over the desk, and a faint smile emerged at the corner of his mouth. The tea was prepared in advance. The desk was organized, unusually tidy. In a way, this meant he wouldn’t have to trouble Jiang Nian all the time, so he wouldn’t feel pressured anymore. As for those several students, they kept glancing at Jiang Nian. Who is this rogue Outer Disciple? Finally, it was time to grade Jiang Nian’s test. Qi Xue’s face remained serious, his brow furrowed. "You got quite a few wrong?" "Yes." Jiang Nian had a great attitude, that’s how math is, "Teacher, I don’t understand why you need to..." He pointed and poured out all his doubts at once. Before Jiang Nian left, he took the opportunity to take the trash bag from under Qi Xue’s desk, although it seemed a bit awkward to Qi Xue. The teacher was odd too. He slowly headed upstairs, vowing to score a hundred and thirty. Quietly striving to become a respected hundred and thirty-point chaser. The morning classes flew by. After school, the class began to rearrange seats. Only then did Jiang Nian notice he’d been moved to the back of the third group. Commonly known as, the guardian of the water dispenser. Meanwhile, the class monitor’s position was also adjusted according to the snake-like formation. They moved back two rows, ending up in the first row by the front door. This was indeed the ends of the earth for Class Three. "Chi Shi, how did you end up in this corner?" Li Hua was a bit annoyed because he was seated by the aisle. Everyone filling their water bottles had to pass by his spot. "Don’t even start, there’s a puddle under my chair." Jiang Nian returned after helping Li Qingrong move. They were good friends in the class, so it made no sense not to help. "Oh yeah." Li Hua glanced down and burst into laughter, "Sitting in a wet seat every day, won’t you just pee in class?" Jiang Nian pointed at him, "Jerk, I’ll redirect the water under your seat." "Stop arguing, can’t you guys be more harmonious?" Zhang Ningzhi burst out laughing, inexplicably in a good mood. The class monitor wasn’t here, and they could go to the city this afternoon... Cai Xiaoqing entered the classroom with a phone pouch and placed it on the podium. She called people over to grab their phones, and immediately a swarm of people gathered around. Just after exams, and soon the semester’s end. As soon as Chen Yunyun took out her slider phone, it was snatched by Jiang Nian, "borrowed" to play with. "It’s empty, no password." Chen Yunyun rubbed her forehead. "Then let me play with it all afternoon." "Okay." Chen Yunyun couldn’t understand, but agreed nonetheless, "Boys’ joys are really odd." Not just odd, but also a bit risqué. "Hehe." He had been eyeing the phone all morning and was delighted once he got it, "Where are you going this afternoon?" Chen Yunyun replied, "I’m going with Yuhe to the newly opened supermarket to check it out, lots of food on sale there." "Then.....we’ll hang out at Happy Sweet Potato for a bit, order a double-skin milk, and play on the phone." That indeed was a nice way to spend time. He knew Zeng You was planning to go home to eat, bathe, play a round of games, and then sleep until evening. Li Hua and Ma Guojun would still go to the internet café, while others chose to nap. Jiang Nian left without a bag, and before he even exited the school, he saw that bright figure by the street, which couldn’t help but make him smile. "Have you been waiting long?" "No." Zhang Ningzhi looked up at him with eyes full of joy, "Let’s go, where shall we eat later?" "Let’s go to..." Jiang Nian walked with her. Passersby glanced back at the departing duo, showing envious expressions, their looks were just enviable. Jiang Nian didn’t waste any time and directly hired a car to the city center. They had lunch at a busy restaurant near Wanxiang City, the taste was average. With so many people, it didn’t feel lonely. "You bought me lunch, let me treat you to bubble tea afterward?" Zhang Ningzhi suggested first, patting the small bag on her body. It was then that Jiang Nian noticed the bag on her. "When did you start carrying a bag?" "....Brought it from home." Zhang Ningzhi felt a bit guilty; it was the bag she specifically brought to school for shopping. Her mom gave it to her on her birthday, and it matched her outfit. "It looks great." Jiang Nian gave a thumbs up, while his fingers searched for the breakup kitchen’s location on the GPS. After dinner, heading to the breakup kitchen? Make some dessert and be done with it. They didn’t really expect to make a gourmet feast in those DIY places, neither spicy nor savory, as both aren’t conducive to dates. He planned to take Zhang Ningzhi to a movie afterward. Since that activity can kill time, and before one knew it, two hours would have passed. Looking back, their itinerary was fully packed. Both people happy, a win-win. In the bubble tea shop. "The order’s ready, I’ll go get it." Zhang Ningzhi pursed her lips, visibly excited, "You wait here like a good boy, alright?" "OKOK." Jiang Nian gestured. Watching Zhang Ningzhi leave into the distance, he casually opened the system task panel. He revisited the rewards: [Upgrade]. Looking up again, he saw Zhang Ningzhi approaching with a bubble tea in each hand. He couldn’t help but feel a little anticipation for the new skill. Jiang Nian (Zhang Ningzhi): "Dating is really nice, huh."
