Before the college entrance exams, there’s no harm in saying some auspicious words.

"Thanks." He Minjun obviously appreciated it, "If you ask me, worshiping you is more effective than worshiping Confucius."

"I’ve never seen a great scholar, but I have seen a true academic god."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian was quite taken aback. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Hey, don’t say that!"

Does this look like a painting?

"You haven’t seen a great scholar, do you think I have?" He pointed to He Minjun, "Let’s not say such rebellious things."

"Alright, you’re quite superstitious." He Minjun chuckled, but felt Jiang Nian was quite down-to-earth.

At least, he wasn’t pretending.

She patted Jiang Nian on the shoulder and said boldly,

"Then I’ll take your kind words, and if I do exceptionally well on the college entrance exams, you’ll witness a glimpse of a scholar."

Jiang Nian: "???"

What’s going on, this is unbelievable.

Kiddo.

He even doubted his ears, wondering if he had gone deaf, maybe he was just hearing with one ear?

"What?"

"Nothing, I was just joking." He Minjun waved her hand, "I’m leaving now, bye."

"Oh, okay." Jiang Nian nodded.

He watched the student leave, and then headed to the cafeteria. The more he thought about it, the more things felt off, his expression complicated.

Do you have one?

Just say it!

Upon entering the cafeteria, only a few people were eating. There were only a few open food stalls, not a wide variety of dishes.

But the food was decent, with braised pork and eggplant. One free chicken drumstick per person was included.

Not bad, very considerate.

Jiang Nian got a plate of food, found a spot to sit down. As he was about to start eating, his phone buzzed with a few messages.

"Tonight, it’s confirmed."

Li Hua sent several messages, "(winking) I’m preparing test papers, I’ll share some with you during evening self-study."

Jiang Nian: "...."

He wasn’t very interested in shouting from the building, during last year’s shouting he was busy setting up the exam venue and couldn’t be bothered with the fuss.

He quietly finished eating and left.

Just as evening study began, an unexpected cheer erupted from outside the building, and the class all looked up.

Each face was filled with joy.

A river of blood!!

Hell yeah!!

"Isn’t this asking for trouble? Ji Ming strictly forbids shouting from the building, someone’s bound to get punished."

"Shout it out!! I want to see fireworks from test papers!"

The bloodthirsty audience had arrived.

A massive cheer swept through, spreading from afar to the neighboring class, causing everyone to get excited.

In the classroom, the math teacher looked bewildered.

"Wuhu!!"

Someone shouted, but no one in Class 3 dared to follow. Seeing the serious math teacher, they all kept silent.

Until the math teacher stood up and said.

"I’m going to the bathroom."

The next second, a huge cheer erupted in the classroom. Everyone rushed to the corridor.

Outside, test papers flew like snowflakes. Falling from above, accompanied by mad and intense cheers.

"Awesome!!"

"I want to quit school!!"

"I want to go home!"

"Mom!"

Various voices nearly simultaneously erupted from the corners of the school building, and each shout was accompanied by laughter.

"Wow!!!"

Some were amazed by the paper rain, more people took out their trump card against teachers - their phones, to record everything.

The dense fragments of test papers were the hottest symbol of youth.

Except for the students tasked with cleaning.

Jiang Nian stepped outside, listening to the continuous voices. He could not help but smile, feeling more and more excited.

What a good time to set up Li Hua.

"Shout something!"

"Shout what?"

Lin Dong thought for a moment, then shouted, "Grandpa only has a chicken coop, I want to stab my brother, strike by lightning."

The sky’s the limit.

Unfortunately, not many people joined in, as this wasn’t as catchy as singing Aruba, people couldn’t follow the rhythm.

"Ahhhh! I want a holiday!!"

More people howled ghostly cries, and Jiang Nian mixed in, shouting a few sentences, then turned and saw Zhang Ningzhi.

"Why aren’t you shouting?"

"Shout... what?" Zhang Ningzhi shyly covered her ears amidst the howling, "Aren’t they singing?"

"No one’s leading, I guess." Yao Beibei said, "I’ll shout something first, to give them a start."

Zhang Ningzhi was surprised, "What will you sing, Beibei?"

"You’ll know soon enough." Yao Beibei leaned over the railing, found a gap, and shouted, "If I’m wrong, I’ll take responsibility!!"

Amazingly, people on the lower floors really continued, and after a few indistinct phrases, they fell into harmony.

"Determined...."

"I’ve said it! I won’t dodge! I have to do it this way!"

Jiang Nian, taking out his phone, filmed the two girls, capturing Zhang Ningzhi struggling to sing along, her face flush with effort.

"Hasn’t Ji Ming blown the whistle yet?"

"Probably won’t." Li Hua walked over, threw some paper scraps down, "Want to toss some?"

"Sure." Jiang Nian grabbed a piece of paper, thinking to himself that any blame would fall on Li Hua, nothing to do with him.

He was about to find a gap to throw it when he bumped into Wang Yuhe.

"What are you up to?"

"I’m thinking about what to shout." Wang Yuhe frowned, then looked at Chen Yunyun, "What about you, Yunyun?"

"I... I won’t shout." Chen Yunyun hesitated, waving her hand, "Listening to them shout is enough."

"Just shout ’good luck on the exams’." Jiang Nian opened his phone and recorded them, "This is a rare opportunity."

"Okay... okay." Chen Yunyun was persuaded by him and shouted down the hallway, "Good luck on the exams!"

Wang Yuhe grabbed a handful of paper scraps from Jiang Nian, checked them, and then tossed them down the building.

"I’m the best!"

Jiang Nian: "???"

With a rustle, as the paper fell into the vast ocean, the shouting frenzy gradually reached its end, the sounds slowly faded.

Jiang Nian received a message from Xu Qianqian, as a bunch of phones flashed their lights, "They’re going to sing."

"Isn’t Ji Ming coming?" he asked.

Xu Qianqian: "He didn’t come to the third floor, probably sitting in the office, look at Xiyun."

"[Photo]."

Jiang Nian: "I’ll come down and check it out."

Xu Qianqian: "The stairs are blocked, you can’t come down, they’re standing there, afraid of teachers coming up to catch us."

Jiang Nian: "...."

Sure enough, after a while, the students organized a sing-along, from "Sunny Day" to "Seven Miles Fragrance".

Zhou Dong really ran through our generation of youth. As for the older ones, it was only after being enlightened that they listened to it.

Pfft, no one’s singing "Maple".

He held up his phone, filming for a while, wandering until he found Li Qingrong, who was being pestered by Nie Qiqi.

Nie Qiqi, a cheeky monkey.

"Qingqing, why don’t you shout something?" Jiang Nian ignored Nie Qiqi, who was looking envious on the side.

"How could our class monitor be like you?" said the cheeky monkey.

"Why don’t you mind your own business."

"You!!"

Li Qingrong glanced at the two, then slowly spoke.

"By my side."

"What?" Jiang Nian turned to her, instinctively asking, "It’s a bit noisy, I didn’t hear clearly."

"The last line of ’Maple’." she said.

Li Qingrong didn’t shout because there was no point. The words she wanted to say had already been heard by the one they were meant for.

"Last time when you sang, you didn’t finish it."

Jiang Nian snapped back to reality, feeling a bit lost. He was just thinking about why no one was singing "Maple."

He didn’t have any particular preference, just a passing thought.

"Love Before BC" was also pretty good.

"Qingqing, look at the camera." Jiang Nian raised his phone and took a photo of the class monitor, capturing the most beautiful moment.

The dimly lit building exterior, the girl shining like the full moon.

After a while, the shouting ended. Scattered shouts here and there couldn’t bring back the already exhilarated crowd.

Enough playing.

The students of Class 3 gradually returned to the classroom, still wearing excited expressions, since there were no consequences.

As soon as they sat down, Ma Guojun contemplatively said.

"I think this is all Li Hua’s fault. If someone has to be blamed, we can point to him as the mastermind."

"Chi Shi!!"

On the other side, Yang Qiming was also excited, patting Lin Dong’s shoulder, "Brother Dong, let’s have a dorm gathering tonight?"

"Get Jiang Nian and Li Hua too."

"Sure, it’s the last hurrah."
