"Jiang Nian!!"

Before lunch break, Wang Yuhe rushed towards the corner of the classroom like a shooting star, her hair freshly dried.

"You lied to me again!!"

"Wait, calm down first." Jiang Nian backed away, his back against the wall. "I was wrong, I was wrong."

"You Pinocchio liar!!" Wang Yuhe shook his jacket, "It was clearly quail eggs!"

"A quail is a bird, isn’t it?" Jiang Nian stubbornly retorted.

"You embarrassed me!!"

Chen Yunyun was calm though, walking to the desk. She placed down her small square fruit box, speaking casually.

"Want some fruit?"

"Forget the fruit for now... Help me first." Jiang Nian’s face was flushed red, he coughed twice, "Can’t catch my breath."

"Serves you right for lying to her, getting beaten up is only fair." Chen Yunyun opened the box and prepared the crystal fork.

"Yuhe was showing off, don’t mock her."

"What does it have to do with me?" Jiang Nian covered his head, hiding for a while before speaking, "Actually, I’m innocent."

"You’re still talking, still talking!!" Wang Yuhe was furious, this was her most embarrassing moment since starting senior year.

As for why it was senior year, not high school.

Because in her junior year, Wang Yuhe dreamed in class that the English teacher gave her a watermelon to eat, and she woke up standing and raising her hand.

[Teacher, where’s my watermelon?]

All you can say is, Class Three doesn’t keep idle people.

"Okay, let go." Jiang Nian compromised, "I’ll give you two fifty, is that alright?"

Wang Yuhe was stunned for a moment, "Why two fifty?"

"Don’t worry about it, that’s all I have." Jiang Nian said seriously, "It’s not about how much you want, it’s about how much I have."

.....

After lunch break.

Jiang Nian woke up slowly, staring blankly.

Suddenly, he noticed Zhang Ningzhi coming over, using the tip of her retractable ballpoint pen to poke Jiang Nian twice.

"Move aside."

"Oh, oh, okay." Jiang Nian stood up, ready to go out for a break, "Zhizhi, do you have any drinks?"

"Even if I do, I’m not giving you any!" Zhang Ningzhi glared at him, starting to sulk again, "Hmph, go ask the group leader, won’t you?"

"Li Hua?"

"Here, here, everyone gets a bottle." Li Hua showed up, cheerfully distributing drinks within the group.

Jiang Nian responded with an "oh," only then remembering that Li Hua had "volunteered" to treat.

"Hua, you’re a real man."

"Why?"

"I thought you wouldn’t buy any, given how stingy you usually are." Jiang Nian twisted open a Sprite, gulping down a sip.

That one sip, was worth two eighty.

Indeed, Li Hua hadn’t originally planned to buy them. But on his way home at noon, he found twenty yuan on the ground.

He wanted to hog it all for himself but felt a pang of guilt.

So, he exchanged it all for drinks. Two bottles of Assam, four bottles of three-yuan drinks, perfectly spending the twenty yuan.

"Holy crap! Drinks." Ma Guojun, the big guy, hurried into the classroom, eyes lighting up, "Who the heck bought these?"

Jiang Nian looked towards Li Hua, signaling with his eyes.

"Li Shao."

"Li Hua? Did you take the wrong medicine?" Ma Guojun cursed again, "Damn, why isn’t there any for me?"

Li Hua chuckled, "Actually, I’m quite generous."

"Screw you, the internet fee is on me. You owe me fifty yuan, haven’t paid in half a month, and you’re here pretending to be a rich kid?"

Ma Guojun was triggered, snatching his drink and gulping a few sips.

"Stop drinking, you jerk. Let me drink it for you."

Zhang Ningzhi lay on the desk, but didn’t bury her head in her arms. Instead, she turned her head to watch Jiang Nian chatting.

When Jiang Nian returned from the bathroom, it was almost time for the bell, to start the last integrated science test of the afternoon.

He shook his half-dry hands and glanced at Zhang Ningzhi.

"Tired?"

"No, just resting." Zhang Ningzhi said moodily, "Not unhappy either."

Jiang Nian was packing up his things and then froze.

Didn’t even ask?

"Uh... Why are you unhappy?" Jiang Nian thought for a moment, "Lost money? Had a bad nap?"

"Neither!" Zhang Ningzhi said angrily, lowering her head and picking up her pencil case, ready to leave, "You have no time on the weekend."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian couldn’t hold back.

"Talk about it on the weekend, exams will be over in over a week, it’s almost winter break time."

"No time for review, what else to do?"

Honestly, he quite liked Zhizhi’s straightforward way of speaking. Although she sulks, she speaks up.

Besides, it saves a lot of trouble.

"Hmph, can’t be bothered to talk to you!" Zhang Ningzhi carried her exam pouch and bumped into him from the front, walking away angrily.

Luckily, Zhizhi’s body was quite soft.

Not painful, secretly pleased.

Jiang Nian pretended to suck in a cold breath, thinking to himself that a woman’s heart is like an unfathomable abyss, could she want a date?

Anyway, Zhizhi’s little temper is quite easy to pacify.

Exam exam!!!

In the integrated science test that afternoon, Jiang Nian tackled the questions more comfortably. Except for physics, chemistry and biology were almost fully answered.

Hexagon, already filled three sides.

The supervising teacher that afternoon was the math teacher. A middle-aged man who speaks with some urgency during lectures.

The class privately referred to Zhou Yuanbo as King Jiji.

Lin Dong, naturally was known as Mao Mao.

Only rarely do they call Lin Dong that way because it’s awkward. But the math teacher’s nickname, King, was kept.

King’s classes were always full of passion.

"What is it?"

"Say it! Come on, say it!"

"Yes! It’s..."

Old King supervising the exam wasn’t like young teacher’s who could sit still. Every ten minutes, he’d step out of the classroom once.

Either to get some air or stand at the backdoor of the classroom enjoying the view.

"Sigh."

Zhou Yuanbo sighed, then stood up to leave the classroom again. Some students inside raised their heads, puzzled.

"Why does the math teacher keep sighing?"

"Probably misses Bear Ridge, winter break just ended, I’m still a bit confused..." Yang Qiming started singing.
