Chapter 1203: Chapter 812: The Night Before the College Entrance Exam

"So sleepy, damn."

"Brother Dong, I find it really comfortable when the upper eyelid touches the lower one."

"Damn! Don’t fall asleep!"

After a chaotic mess, the group slowly set off. From a distance, they looked like a long winding snake.

On the way, they ran into a team from a neighboring school.

"Chi Shi, why is it us making way?" Hua stood by the flowerbed, tiptoeing to look at the team ahead.

"Because we are the main campus." Jiang Nian sat casually on the cement road, looking up at the gloomy sky.

"It won’t rain this afternoon, right?"

Ma Guojun sat nearby, not worried about his black pants getting dirty. "What’s there to be afraid of? We’ll be back by eleven in the morning."

Around them, the bustling crowd barely kept the team together.

The boarding students had their phones out already; each either stood or squatted, playing on their phones with varied postures.

Only Zeng You sat blankly, staring.

"What are you doing?" Hua nudged Zeng You, worried he drank too much last night and might suddenly die.

"Nothing, isn’t it obvious I’m daydreaming?"

"Why aren’t you playing on your phone?"

Upon hearing this, Zeng You looked at him, puzzled. "I’ve long gotten tired of playing before the college entrance exam, it’s meaningless."

Hua: "...."

"Then once the college entrance exams are over, won’t it be even more pointless?"

"Yeah." Zeng You sat on the ground, eyes confused. "What should I do for the three months of summer vacation?"

Despite being lazy to talk to these guys, Jiang Nian didn’t want to fiddle with his phone either. Because playing for a while led to messages needing replies.

So, he joined in on the daydreaming.

When Old Liu came around to check, he saw a divine scene—a group of students scoring five hundred and six hundred collectively daydreaming.

"Huh?"

Startled, he stopped in front of them. "What did you all do last night?"

"Nothing....." Lin Dong felt a little guilty.

Jiang Nian didn’t answer but took out his test paper from his pocket, seemingly unfazed, and looked down at the questions.

Hua: "..."

Ma Guojun: "Damn."

Real schemers’ careful plans couldn’t hurt as much as Jiang Nian’s casual actions. Truly dog-like behavior.

Old Liu didn’t pursue the matter, gave some words of advice, and left.

Soon, the examination troops moved again. Arriving at the branch campus after nine-thirty in the morning.

Having been here once, everyone was familiar with it.

An hour later, they gradually gathered again, without needing to return to school collectively but disbanded on the spot.

"How to return?"

"Walk back, what else?"

"Where’s Jiang Nian?" Hua looked around, suddenly realizing Jiang Nian was missing. "He was just here."

"You’re looking for him? He’s over by the girls." Ma Guojun grinned, pointing in another direction.

"Huh?"

Hua turned to see Jiang Nian surrounded by several girls, with Zhang Ningzhi looking angrily while saying something to him.

"Chi Shi, that dog Jiang Nian!!"

"Let’s go, we can’t wait." Ma Guojun waved, "I reckon Jiang Nian’s going to head back with them."

"Ugh, so annoying!" Hua grumbled and followed along, "How’s that dog so lucky!"

"That might not be the case. Remember that girl from last time?" The big guy whispered mysteriously.

"Which one?" Hua paused for a few seconds, unable to hold back, "Can’t you at least give a hint?"

"So many girls around Jiang Nian, how would I know which time you mean?"

"The cafeteria."

"Oh oh, Xu Shuang." Jiang Nian recalled, feeling even more stressed, "Damn, rich people."

"She was quite nice, what happened?"

"Nothing, but she definitely has something going on with Jiang Nian," Ma Guojun gossiped, "and it’s not small either."

"Really?"

"Why would I lie to you."

The voice gradually faded, disappearing with the crowd.

...

On the other side.

Jiang Nian, resigned, got pulled onto the bus by Zhang Ningzhi. These two, bored, insisted on taking the bus.

What’s so experiential about it, it’s just a shaky ride.

But Zhang Ningzhi didn’t see it that way; she felt that after being desk mates for so long, it was a pity not to have taken the bus together even once.

Isn’t it such a regret!!

"You’ll be sick of buses once you start university." Jiang Nian was speechless, not quite understanding the girl’s logic.

What does a bus have to do with romance?

Speaking of which, Japanese buses...

This was also recorded in "--", with numb passengers and deaf drivers, making the plot feel fast-paced.

But this is reality, and Jiang Nian sat obediently. Even if he wanted to touch legs, there was a big yellow light bulb sitting next to him.

The annoying Yao Beibei.

"Hmph! Gonna ride, gonna ride." Zhang Ningzhi was displeased, "Besides, it’s only a ten-minute bus ride to get back."

"Alright." Jiang Nian never argued.

The bus route wasn’t direct, but weaved through the town; on the way, they saw many students walking.

He was only thankful that Song Xiyun’s stomach wasn’t well, making bus rides uncomfortable, so Xu Qianqian and the others didn’t take the bus.

Otherwise...

Feeling bored, Jiang Nian started observing Zhizhi.

The girl’s profile was fair, nose delicately shaped, brows like spring, and stray hair playfully lifted by the wind, softly brushing her cheeks.

Zhizhi’s lips pursed, suddenly turning to say.

"Why are you staring at me?"

"Nothing, just casually looking." Jiang Nian shifted his gaze. "With exams tomorrow, I’m a bit anxious."

Upon hearing this, the silent Yao Beibei spoke up.

"What are you anxious about with seven hundred points?"

"Sigh."

Jiang Nian sighed, "You wouldn’t understand, you kids play away over there. You’ll get it when you reach my age."

It’s not just anxiety; there’s a faint sense of dread.

Time doesn’t grant us long enough.

Yao Beibei: "....."

"No need to worry, just give it your all." Zhang Ningzhi pursed her lips, earnestly comforting him.

"Yeah." Jiang Nian nodded, not lingering on this topic to avoid affecting Zhang Ningzhi’s mood.

"It’s alright, leave it to fate."

"By the way, what are you guys revising first this afternoon, Chinese or Math? Evening self-study might not be enough....."
