Chapter 1204: Chapter 812: The Night Before the College Entrance Exam (Part 2)

In a flash, it was noon dismissal.

The school was quiet. Lin Dong and a few others had just finished their lunch outside and were heading back to the dorm together.

"Sigh, now it’s just us seniors left."

"Yeah, it’s so quiet." Yang Qiming turned his head, looking forlorn, "I can’t help but recite a poem."

"Stop pretending to be cultured," Lin Dong teased. "Hey, can you write down the ancient poems from memory for tomorrow?"

"Hard to say."

"What’s hard to say? Just admit you can’t write them," Zeng You couldn’t help but criticize harshly, "And here you are reciting poetry?"

"Damn, can you get a perfect score on the memorization test?"

"Nope," Zeng You put his phone in his pocket, "but I don’t care. Losing two points won’t affect me."

"I lack ambition, and you don’t have any ambitions either?"

Yang Qiming: "....."

Fine, this guy is a real jerk. But since the college entrance exam is tomorrow, he didn’t dare to risk a quarrel and had to swallow his pride.

"Okay, you’re the boss."

"Of course," Zeng You laughed loudly, took out his phone, and continued walking with his head down, finally finding some fun right before the exams.

Anyway, it doesn’t really matter which university I end up at.

As long as there’s a school to attend.

....

In the afternoon, the classroom of Class Three was silent. No one was chatting, only the sound of pages turning could be heard.

If everyone’s state ten days before the college entrance exam was relaxed,

then now, it was completely tense.

Like soldiers in ancient battlefields, a war was about to break out ahead, but they could only sit in the ranks, waiting for orders.

Heart filled with anxiety, thinking ’either way, it’s a fight to the death.’

Come on, let’s get it over with!

Yet, it was inevitable to feel a bit of fear, hoping that the confrontation would come a bit slower, or allowing just a few more seconds to catch a breath.

Ring ring ring!!!

"Alright, class dismissed," the physics teacher picked up his teacup, "I wish all the students great success in the college entrance exam!!"

Everyone looked up, suddenly waking up.

"Class ended so early?"

"Time flies, I’ve only read a few pages."

"Damn, someone’s stealing time."

The entire class stood up, under the organization of Cai Xiaoqing, they bowed to the physics teacher and said goodbye and all that.

There was only one last class left in high school.

The homeroom teacher’s class.

"It’s really overwhelming, what did I just read." Li Hua complained, "Why are there so many language points!"

Then he glanced at Jiang Nian.

"What are you reading?"

"Math." Jiang Nian had nothing to hide and generously showed it, "Tomorrow I’ll get a perfect score."

"You wish!" Li Hua pointed at him.

"Have you prepared your exam supplies?" Zhang Ningzhi reminded from the side, "Remember to bring your ID tomorrow."

"Got it." Jiang Nian nodded.

"You’ve said it three times today alone," Li Hua said, "Even if it’s not Jiang Nian, I’ve memorized it by now."

"Hmph." Zhizhi was dissatisfied, stood up, and left the seat, "Then you, group leader, just don’t listen!"

"Overwhelming....."

In a flash, it was the last class.

Old Liu brought a chair and gestured for self-study. It wasn’t until five minutes before the end of class that he stood up and spoke.

"Ah, this is the last class."

"Ahem."

"There’s no need for extra words, lest it affects everyone’s morale. Ten years of hard study, just for tomorrow’s battle!"

"Everyone, do your best!!"

With a rumble, all of Class Three stood up. With nervous and complicated feelings, they bowed to say goodbye.

"Thank you for your hard work, teacher."

In the afternoon, Jiang Nian still enjoyed his college entrance exam meal comfortably. This time, the canteen wasn’t serving chicken legs, but pork knuckles instead.

One could only say, quite a deal.

He even saw Yang Qiming and his brothers in the cafeteria, "Why are you here? Aren’t you eating in the dorm canteen?"

"Already ate," Yang Qiming looked up, wiped his mouth with a napkin and said, "Heard there are knuckles here..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian froze.

"Second round?"

"Yeah," Huang Caicai looked up, rubbed his belly, "Luckily the portion isn’t big, I can just barely finish it."

Jiang Nian: "???"

Holy crap, no wonder these two seemed to have gained weight over the past six months.

"Wow, impressive."

After coming out of the canteen, he had nowhere to go. So he simply strolled around the school, as he probably wouldn’t be coming back after this.

After a round, he ran into Li Qingrong and her friends.

"It’s you again!" Nie Qiqi looked speechless. For some reason, she got annoyed every time she saw Jiang Nian.

Last time at the parking lot, she almost got embarrassed because of him. Since then, she disliked him even more.

"Just strolling." Jiang Nian didn’t mind the smiling tiger and looked at the class president, "Are you guys doing the same?"

"Yeah." Li Qingrong nodded, her gaze slightly shifted to Cai Xiaoqing, "Trying to ease the anxiety."

Oh, Cai Xiang is anxious.

But it makes sense, her grades are just average, trying to get into a prestigious university is quite challenging.

Unless she performs exceptionally that day.

"Oh, I see." Jiang Nian nodded, thinking to himself that Qingqing wasn’t silly at all and seemed quite considerate of those around her.

"So, has the anxiety eased now?"

"No," Li Qingrong shook her head, though her expression didn’t change much, "We decided to take another walk."

Jiang Nian: "...."

Okay, maybe Qingqing is a bit silly.

Repeating a path that doesn’t work, right? But honestly, this tends to lean on a superstitious approach.

Worship in a temple or something.

Whether effective or not, as long as you believe it in your heart, it’s fine.

"Alright, you guys continue your walk then." Jiang Nian thought it wasn’t his place to say much, especially since the class president was present.

He didn’t intend to stir up trouble, lest it backfires on him.

"Okay." Li Qingrong nodded and walked off in another direction, only to stop suddenly a while later.

"What’s wrong, class president?" Nie Qiqi asked curiously.

Cai Xiaoqing also looked up, "Maybe we should just head back, I feel like this is wasting your time."

"No." Li Qingrong turned around and looked at Cai Xiaoqing, "I know how to ease your anxiety."

"Ah?"

Night falls.

During the first evening self-study session, the sky outside gradually darkened, shifting from twilight to black.

Suddenly, a sharp whistle sounded.

Almost everyone in Class Three turned to look out the window. A blue firework was shooting straight up.

Like a stroke of blue ink, it carved a straight path of azure light.

Then, it exploded instantly.

"Holy crap!!"

"It’s actually fireworks!!"

The whole class surged to their feet, pulling out their phones and heading towards the windows.

"Wow!"

"Someone’s setting off fireworks, seems like it’s from the post office side."

Cai Xiaoqing was completely dumbfounded. She remembered what Li Qingrong said and turned to look at her. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Then, more fireworks shot into the sky.

"Who...who’s setting them off?"

She stammered a little when speaking, nudging Li Qingrong, "Class president, won’t they be caught for this?"

"Jiang Nian found someone." Li Qingrong said casually, "Seems like it was a middle schooler, at most they’ll just get a verbal warning."

Cai Xiaoqing: ".... "

This tone, it’s so Jiang Nian.

She stopped worrying and went to watch too, not wanting to waste these well-planned fireworks.

There weren’t a few people watching the fireworks.

Some even climbed to the rooftop just to enjoy them more thoroughly and conveniently capture them on their phones.

"Beep beep beep——!!"

Whistles from the grade-level staff cut through the corridor.

Ji Ming arrived.

A portion of Class Three scattered, but some remained. Leaning against the classroom window, staring at the night sky.

Perhaps, they will occasionally think back on this after graduation.

More shocking than yesterday’s rooftop chanting.

Jiang Nian watched too, but didn’t leave his seat. With his head resting on his hand, he watched absentmindedly.

"Conic sections..."

"Was it you?" Zhang Ningzhi widened her eyes, poking Jiang Nian, "Won’t it be found out?"

"It won’t." Jiang Nian glanced at her, "Zhizhi, this is so typical of a good student’s mentality."

"Hmph!" Zhang Ningzhi didn’t quite understand, pouting angrily, "Forget it, I won’t bother with you in the future."

"Hey, why are you mad now?"

"Just because!"

Zhang Ningzhi pursed her lips, turning to look at the fireworks. She made a quiet wish in her heart, hoping it would come true.

For a successful exam, and...
