Damn it, you bastard!

Li Hua didn’t laugh, stuffing all the Magic Cards into his clothes. He thought to himself, damn it, Jiang Nian, you’re really awful!

Prepare to face my Lion’s Tooth!

"Teacher, Li Hua has been watching Black Magic Fairy Xiaoyue’s black silk stockings during self-study. He’s even drooling, which affects my study."

Hearing this, the class burst into laughter.

"Chi Shi!!" Li Hua’s face immediately turned red, and he stood up, saying, "No, I didn’t, he’s slandering me!"

However, the defense was ineffective.

It turns out that no one cares about the truth. They just want some fun and believe in the stereotypes.

"You win, you bastard!"

Li Hua swore, if he had superpowers at this moment. On the first day, he would choose to endure and hide.

On the second day, he would become Happy Superman.

On the third day, he would force Jiang Nian, this bastard, to make him a bowl of authentic beef noodles.

Let’s just say, Li Hua needs to practice more.

If it were Jiang Nian, and he had superpowers... Oh wait, he already has a tiny superpower now.

Happy Superman.

Just kidding, even if you’re not happy, you’re still Superman!

"Sit down. Don’t look at that nonsense in the classroom," Lao Liu pressed his hands down, continuing the class meeting.

One has to say, Lao Liu is also quite a laid-back guy.

"Jiang Nian, clear my name!!" Li Hua pretended to choke Jiang Nian, but the latter dodged.

"Any evidence?"

"Your mom!!" Li Hua was truly red in the face.

Zhang Ningzhi listened to them bickering on the side, still gloomy. She was indeed a bit jealous, but more so disappointed.

It felt like a cloud passed through her heart, unpredictably changing between sunny and cloudy.

"Zhizhi, Li Hua said he’s treating the whole group to drinks tomorrow," Jiang Nian suddenly said, breaking her train of thought.

"Huh?" Zhang Ningzhi was momentarily stunned, snapping out of her emotions and quickly responded, "Okay!!"

She thought to herself that she was overthinking. Emotions and friendship are both parts of youth, and neither can be missing.

Li Hua was taken aback, not the bros?

Who’s treating?

He was speechless at this. How could you be so selfish!!!

But his ability to accept things was indeed strong, so he quickly convinced himself. For the harmony of the group, spend some Gold Coins.

"Nian ah," Li Hua patted Jiang Nian, singing in a low voice, "Always asking me for things, but never thanking me."

"An insignificant drink, what are you flaunting?" Jiang Nian pointed at him, "This is your chance to show filial respect."

In the noise and chaos, they reached the fourth evening self-study session.

Yang Qiming looked up at the lights, feeling a bit emo. Smelling the fragrance of the beauty next to him, he suddenly realized.

He was not Yuyu, but Star Suppression.

Maybe it’s because of the shadow under the lamp that he hadn’t noticed before. Zhou Yuting turned out to be a stunning beauty, making his heart surge with emotion.

"Grass around the nest" is indeed a fitting name.

When he realized he had the wildest Star Suppression, thoughts of romance grew wildly like weeds.

Next, it was just a matter of how to attract her attention.

Yang Qiming knew better than anyone that Zhou Yuting wasn’t short of money. A money attack wouldn’t work, so he needed something more artistic.

"Sigh!" He sighed, "The four seasons are really slow, and youth too....."

Zhou Yuting stopped writing and stretched her wrist. Hearing this, she turned to look at him, and coldly said.

"4g is slow, then wait for 5g to be widespread."

....

After school.

Jiang Nian still carried his bag, preparing to head home first as usual.

First, it was hard to explain to Xu Qianqian why he had something to do so late at night.

Second, the school wasn’t far from home.

Walking from school to Jing Mansion and biking to Jing Mansion from home took the same amount of time overall.

More importantly, Jiang Nian was very cautious by nature.

Though the year’s end, and such absurd things basically wouldn’t happen. But... Murphy’s Law, no need to gamble.

The crackdown was only a few years ago.

At the school gate.

"So sleepy, so sleepy!!" Xu Qianqian looked at Jiang Nian and said, "I want to go home, take a bath, and sleep."

"What happened?" Jiang Nian asked casually.

"Went to the bookstore this afternoon, and then to the milk tea shop," Song Xiyun explained, "The weekly test in the evening was unbearable, too sleepy."

"Oh, I see." Jiang Nian was used to this, he didn’t have any special situations, probably just doing exercises.

They’re so familiar, they wouldn’t deliberately arrange to meet up. If there’s really something, a message would solve it.

"From my observation, our class teacher might really not last long." Xu Qianqian walked while looking back.

She looked serious, as if she had discovered something incredible. But seeing Jiang Nian’s lack of reaction, she couldn’t hold it in any longer. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Ask me why, why don’t you ask!"

If she said it straightforwardly, Xu Qianqian wouldn’t be happy.

Jiang Nian sighed helplessly, but still asked.

"Why?"

"I passed by the office in the morning, and heard the class teacher arguing with the leadership." Xu Qianqian had a proud expression.

"You have really sharp ears," Jiang Nian said.

Xu Qianqian put her hands on her hips, "Indeed, when I was a kid playing house. Others acted as the mom, I acted as the wind ear."

Hearing this, Song Xiyun almost couldn’t hold it in.

Is this even Chinese?

"Why is there a wind ear role in the house-playing?"

Xu Qianqian raised her eyebrow upon hearing this and said.

"Because they played the roles of mom and dad, I played the immortal. I told them to worship the immortal every morning."

"Then they had to kneel to me every ten minutes."

Song Xiyun was dumbfounded, "Huh?"

Jiang Nian wasn’t surprised, having seen it all before. Although he was in a hurry, he still asked when passing by the snack street.

"Are you two hungry?"

"Not bad," said Song Xiyun.

"I could eat a whole pig," Qianqian took the initiative to glance towards the snack street, "Forget it, the stall owner didn’t come out."

She paused and then felt a bit annoyed.

"It’s not raining today, why is the fruit dessert stall owner so lazy?"

Jiang Nian laughed, "Maybe he’s afraid you’ll eat him, after all, people who can eat a whole pig are quite rare, and..."

He turned around on the dimly lit street, his broad shoulders instantly blocking half of the dim streetlight.

"If they’ve set up shop, do they have to clock in daily?"

Perhaps Qianqian also felt she was being a bit unreasonable, "I’m just thinking of the stall owner’s benefit, bringing him business."

"Ha ha, you...." Jiang Nian pointed at her, like a dog pointing at a person, "Xu Qianqian, you better be."

Women are scary, even freelancers have to clock in for them.

The three of them, in the alley, ran into a group of young people in their twenties, walking with their arms around each other’s shoulders.

Song Xiyun was stunned for a moment, "It’s almost New Year, a lot of people are coming back."

Her mom wouldn’t be coming back this year.

Maybe the next meeting would be during the college entrance exam period.

"Indeed." Jiang Nian responded and led the way into the alley, "Let’s go, let’s go, time to go home and sleep."

"Huh?" Qianqian looked puzzled, "Why are you in such a hurry to get home today, what’s the rush?"

On the cobbled road, Jiang Nian paused his steps.

"To study."

Upon hearing this, Qianqian’s face turned slightly red.

"Oh."

Why are you blushing like a teapot!!

But Jiang Nian didn’t say anything further, since Qianqian always contradicted herself. Whether she would follow through depended entirely on luck.

By comparison, the class leader was the practical type.

Once upstairs, Jiang Nian followed them inside, sat in the living room for five or six minutes, then circled around and prepared to leave.

"Then I’ll go to my room and study?"

Song Xiyun had gone to take a shower.

Qianqian looked down, "Mm."

Jiang Nian couldn’t help but give her an extra glance, thinking to himself how mentioning studying seemed to hit her soft spot.

To be honest, it was rare to see Mr. Xu’s shy little look.

No way, is this preference so niche?

He thought for a bit, then added.

"I plan to go back and use the problem-solving method, to write it tirelessly at the back of the solution until it’s completely exhausted."

Upon hearing this, Qianqian’s face instantly turned into a poker face, looking at him with disdain.

"You pervert, get out of here."

Jiang Nian was thus pushed out by Qianqian. With a bang, the door was closed, and the stairway light came on.

.....

Took the keys, went downstairs.

In front of Jing Mansion’s main gate, Jiang Nian squeezed the brakes. With a precise drift, he almost flew out, managing to stop just in time.

"Whoa."

He was scared out of his wits, only texting the class leader after he parked the bike steadily.

"Outside the community."

This was also a kind of probing, to see how the class leader would react. If in case it was nothing, he’d have to head back.

Humble.

After a few seconds, the phone buzzed.

Li Qingrong: "Wait for me."

Jiang Nian glanced at the message and smiled instantly. Now it seemed pretty solid, and he started imagining what he should say next.

Sigh, really have no idea what to say.

Lunatics come in pairs.

After a while, a figure emerged from the community. In the dark night, under the dim community streetlights.

Her aura was like a moon fished out of the water, with that kind of wet, yellowish texture.

There was another person following behind, probably a resident of the community. Outside Jing Mansion, there were two whole streets of late-night snacks.

Buying late-night snacks so late, truly enjoying life.

Li Qingrong stopped in front of him, her calm eyes gazed at Jiang Nian for a while, her pink lips softly opened and said.

"My mom is here."

Originally smiling, Jiang Nian instantly stopped smiling.

"Huh?"

"No, your mom is here?" He acted three times in one second, coughing once and said, "Why didn’t you say earlier?"

Li Qingrong’s face didn’t show any expression, but hearing this, she tilted her head slightly. After thinking for a moment, she looked at him and said.

"It wouldn’t make any difference, you insisted."

"Insisted... I insisted, and you agreed?" Jiang Nian said seriously, "Qingqing, no offense but."

"Your resolve is too weak, pay attention next time. I’m in a good mood today, I’ll let it slide this time."

With that, he turned around to leave.

"You should go up too, we’ll chat another day."

Li Qingrong watched him for a while, curiously asking.

"Don’t you want to say hi?"

"It’s too late, I wouldn’t want to disturb Auntie." Jiang Nian almost didn’t think, directly refusing.

However, Li Qingrong’s words left him speechless.

"She came downstairs with me."

Jiang Nian stopped his steps, his whole body stiffened. He turned to look at the class leader, his entire expression changed.

No way, are you treating me like a Japanese person?

He swallowed his pride, "Qingqing, did I do something to annoy you?"

Li Qingrong’s eyes moved slightly, her gaze passed over him.

"Perhaps."

As they spoke, footsteps came from the shadows.

Jiang Nian inevitably turned his head, his gaze passed over Li Qingrong’s shoulder, landing on a calm-faced woman behind.

Almost instinctively, his eyelids twitched crazily.
