Ding-dong! Class dismissed...

During the evening self-study break.

Jiang Nian was busy solving problems when he suddenly felt a shadow looming over him. He looked up and saw Tao Ran, feeling puzzled.

"Class representative, what’s up?"

Tao Ran replied earnestly, "I wanted to ask about the psychology consultation room..."

"Huh?" Jiang Nian fell into deep thought.

What’s there for the class representative to consult about, do even enthusiasts of prosperity have psychological issues? 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Never mind, it’s not my teacher anyway.

"The psychology consultation room is on the second floor of Building D. You should make an appointment first and then go over to check in with your school ID according to the scheduled time."

After speaking, Jiang Nian had a delayed realization.

Damn, after attending two psychology lectures, I’m now more familiar with the job than Yu Zhiyi, the psychological commissioner.

The shadow class representatives are the deeply buried roots of Class Three.

After Tao Ran left.

Huang Fang turned around from the front row, glanced at Jiang Nian, and asked curiously.

"Why did the class representative ask about the psychology consultation room?"

"How would I know, maybe she wants someone to chat with." Jiang Nian pointed at her, "Fangfang, don’t be too nosy."

"Oh." Huang Fang turned back.

"Chat?" Zeng You pondered; he had been feeling a bit confused lately, "Second floor of Building D... I’ll check it out tomorrow."

"Check out what?" Jiang Nian asked.

"Go to..." Zeng You was startled; embarrassed to tell the truth, "Go... to the cafeteria to see if they’ve closed."

Saying this, he got up and left his seat directly.

"Weird." Jiang Nian looked away and continued solving problems, "Math and chemistry homework need to be handed in."

"Damn, endless homework."

High school evening self-study is completely dictated by others; just finishing homework takes up most of the time.

Near the end of evening self-study.

Li Hua threw down his pen and sighed.

"New Year’s coming soon, and I don’t know how many days we’ll get for winter break. I’ll save up to rank up in Diamond."

"Using a professional gamer, huh?"

"Who needs a professional gamer! I’ll play myself!"

"Hua, you’re really clueless." Jiang Nian laughed, "Diamond rank, are you dreaming?"

"When are the finals?" Zhang Ningzhi asked.

"Probably just before Little New Year, not too early." Jiang Nian turned and asked her, "What are your plans for the winter break?"

Zhang Ningzhi thought for a moment, then deliberately said.

"I don’t know."

"Alright, don’t say then, is it a secret celebrity schedule or something?" Jiang Nian didn’t pursue the question, pretending not to understand the hint.

Zhizhi gets swayed too easily, the good girl turning mischievous at lightning speed.

Dating today, holding hands tomorrow, and marking territory the day after that. The key is, the sweetness throughout goes unnoticed.

By the time you realize, it’s already too late.

Took a cab to the college entrance exam, why ended up at the civil affairs bureau?

He can’t handle it, and the ambitious Lao Liu can’t either. So right now, the best option is to simply play dead.

"Hmph." Zhang Ningzhi glanced at him, packed her things on her own, "Not telling you, just to annoy you!"

Jiang Nian didn’t care, thinking to himself how long she could hold it in.

I’ll fish it out of you one day.

Just then, Zeng You was struggling to open a zip file someone sent him and frustratedly turned to Li Hua.

"Team leader, may I ask, what do you usually use to unzip files?"

"Huh?" Li Hua was stunned for a few seconds, then seriously touched his chin, "Um... this is hard to say."

Zeng You: "?"

Li Hua looked up at the sky, a bit conflicted.

"I don’t share this openly."

"Team leader, so petty?" Zeng You saw that school was nearly over, "Then team leader, can you help me unzip it?"

"Me?" Li Hua was shocked, "No way... how am I supposed to help you, unzip it yourself."

"Damn it, I ask you how to unzip and you won’t say." Zeng You was getting anxious too.

"How can I just tell you?"

"You don’t say, then help me unzip it!"

"Damn, you’re a freak!" Li Hua conceded, prepared to share the art of unzipping, "Alright, I’ll tell you."

Jiang Nian was beside him, almost bursting with laughter.

They’re speaking past each other.

Li Hua was sitting by the aisle, unable to see the screen of Zeng You’s phone. On it was a zip file, but at least outwardly not inappropriate.

"Hey Hua, why not help Zeng You unzip it?" Jiang Nian suggested, "See how anxious the kid is."

Zeng You added, "Exactly."

"Damn you both!!" Li Hua pointed at them, "You two sound like you’re from Nantong, stay away from me."

The next moment, when he finally saw the zip file on Zeng You’s screen, he couldn’t contain himself any longer and shouted.

"Chi Shi!"

....

After evening self-study, the hallway was packed, nearly bursting at the seams.

Jiang Nian headed downstairs first and waited at the school gate for a while. Ten minutes later, Xu Qianqian and Song Xiyun arrived belatedly.

"What were you guys doing not dismissing class?"

"Don’t ask." Xu Qianqian waved her hand, looking speechless, "The homeroom teacher cried, and then the entire class stayed silent."

"And then?"

"She started getting angry again." Song Xiyun chimed in, "Said everyone in our class is cold-blooded."

"Really cold-blooded?" Jiang Nian laughed gently, rubbing Xu Qianqian’s forehead, "Seems pretty warm to me."

Xu Qianqian dodged, rolling her eyes.

"It’s just bizarre, school is tiring enough. And then we have to watch her emotional breakdown. Really feel like hanging myself."

"Right." Song Xiyun nodded as well, "Divorce might be scary, but we’re prepping for senior year exams."

Jiang Nian was having a great time, loving all the gossip.

"Remember once I waited for you after school, and it rained that day, bumped into your homeroom teacher holding you guys for a lecture."

"I knew from then your homeroom teacher wasn’t simple."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qianqian couldn’t help but sigh.

"Sometimes just don’t know what wrong we did. School pressure is so high, and we’re still expected to give emotional support to the homeroom teacher?"

Song Xiyun sighed too, "Sigh."

"Your teacher is already like this, why not go see the psychology consultation room?" Jiang Nian asked curiously.

Xu Qianqian froze for a while, looking puzzled at him.

"Where would we find a psychologist around here?"
