"Also, I need to focus on math recently, so I probably won’t go to Qingbao’s place often."

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhiyi bowed her head.

"Alright."

The two class representatives reached a tacit agreement in the empty reading room and successfully completed a transaction.

"Next time I’m free, I’ll treat you to BBQ." Jiang Nian promised when he saw her compromise.

"When?" Yu Zhiyi looked up.

"During winter break."

"...How could you? I’m going back home during the winter break." Yu Zhiyi was speechless at his audacity.

"I’ll just send you a red envelope, stop whining."

"I’m a girl, after all."

Jiang Nian couldn’t be bothered to bicker with Yu Zhiyi. He pretended to wipe the table twice and then ran out of the reading room to get some fresh air.

"Why is the Psychological Counseling Room across from us always open?"

"It’s always open, even during the winter break." Yu Zhiyi replied while carrying books, mentioning it casually.

"The teacher lives nearby, probably offers voluntary consultations during the New Year."

Unintentional words, but caught by keen ears.

"Hey, about winter break." Jiang Nian turned and asked, "Does the school have some kind of volunteer thing?"

"What volunteer thing?"

"Volunteers for the self-study room. I remember in previous years they would open up some classrooms for self-study."

"Oh, I don’t know about that." Yu Zhiyi pondered for a moment while holding books, "Why don’t you go and ask?"

.....

Lin Yuxi glanced at the time, waiting for someone to take over. Duty time includes only two periods and a big break.

Finally, footsteps echoed from the end of the hallway.

She looked up and saw a tall figure. Someone walked with vigor, someone advancing rapidly every day.

"Senior!"

"Hmm? What are you doing here?" Jiang Nian was also surprised, "Did you fail too many tests and get expelled?"

Lin Yuxi: "...."

"Senior, I scored over 800 points." She was a bit frustrated, "Don’t stereotype, I can join the Olympic competition class next semester."

Zhenan Middle School’s division into arts and science begins in the second semester of the first year of high school.

After entering, all students study nine subjects uniformly, and at the end of the first semester, there’s a division exam, with classes divided based on scores and preferences.

With Lin Yuxi’s score, a little more effort and she could join the Olympic competition.

But, then again.

Stereotypes are just like that, stubbornly persistent.

"Oh, I have something to discuss with Teacher Lan." Jiang Nian pointed to the office, "Is the teacher in there?"

"She went to the restroom." Lin Yuxi pursed her lips, reluctant to let Jiang Nian leave, "Senior, why not wait for a bit?"

"Oh, then I’ll make an appointment." He understood the process, having attended two seminars, practically half a Psychological Commissioner.

The capital and thirteen provinces...

Jiang Nian felt like he was about to become a weightlifting champion, with the rights of the biology and English class representatives half usurped by him.

Unintentionally stepping on toes, passively overshadowing them.

"Then have a seat, senior, and fill in a form first." Lin Yuxi sweetly said, raising her head to reveal a tender face.

She did it on purpose, whispering to herself.

Such a fresh-faced underclassman right in front of you, on the first day you might not be moved, but past the first day, you can’t resist for long.

"Why are you smiling?" Jiang Nian looked puzzled, lowering his head to start registering, "Hmm, Olympic competition Class 4..... Li Hua, Liu Yang?"

He almost couldn’t hold back, nearly blurting out a curse.

Damn, those two bastards.

Then he swiftly wrote down a line, "Olympic competition Class 4 Lin Dong."

"Huh?" Lin Yuxi stared at the registration book, looking puzzled, "Senior, aren’t you from Class 3?"

"Shh, ever heard of privacy?" Jiang Nian pointed at her.

"Oh, okay, I understand." Lin Yuxi immediately made a sealing gesture, "Don’t worry, my lips are sealed."

Soon, the person replacing Lin Yuxi arrived.

A boy with delicate features, a small official in the first year student union, logically should be the deputy minister.

But there were too few people, so there wasn’t such a title.

Wen Qiweng was also somewhat upset, as he had used quite a few means to switch shifts with Lin Yuxi.

Just to have brief contact during the shift handover. Using that, he also got Lin Yuxi’s QQ.

However, she seemed somewhat distant.

But he didn’t take it to heart, after all, Lin Yuxi not only had good looks but also good grades, so it was normal for a studious beauty to be a bit slow to warm up.

The division into arts and science classes was approaching, and he was a bit anxious.

Thinking of cultivating feelings first, then leveraging family connections to get into the same class as Lin Yuxi.

But on this mundane day, a thunderbolt struck.

The usually aloof Lin Yuxi was having a lively conversation with a boy, and she appeared to be the more proactive one.

And that boy seemed to be a senior.

His attitude was nonchalant!

Damn!!!!

Wen Qiweng felt like the sky was falling, and he couldn’t help walking over. He wanted to harshly question but ended up saying.

"Xiaoxi, it’s time to switch shifts."

Jiang Nian glanced at the newcomer and casually patted Lin Yuxi.

"He’s calling you."

Lin Yuxi heard, and slightly furrowed her brow.

"Coordinator Wen, there’s no need to switch. Why don’t you go back to class first? I still want to continue the duty for a while longer."

"Isn’t that improper?" Wen Qiweng’s face turned green.

What continuing duty!

She clearly wanted to flirt more with this old-timer, can’t tolerate this familiar patron, have you considered my feelings?

"It’s quite alright, I don’t feel tired." Lin Yuxi couldn’t even bother lifting her head, "Senior, let me tell you....."

Halfway through her sentence, she noticed the shadow still there.

"Coordinator Wen, are you not leaving?"

This was practically shooing him away, Wen Qiweng’s face was as awkward as could be, overwhelmed with anger.

"No, there are rules for the shifts."

"If shifts could be swapped willy-nilly, it would be chaos. Who would be responsible if a problem arose?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuxi showed displeasure.

"It’s always been allowed."

"Xiaoxi, the rules are the rules." Wen Qiweng took a stance of selflessness, "I understand, but....."

Jiang Nian, supporting his head with his hand, watched their debate with a smirk.

Suddenly, from the corner of his eye, he spotted Lan Lan. He immediately got up and strode towards the petite teacher in black stockings.

"I’ll head over first, bye-bye."

Logically, teachers were supposed to have dress codes.

But being a Psychological Counseling Teacher was a novelty, so the school couldn’t be bothered with Lan Lan dressing like that.

Moreover, strictly speaking, she wasn’t wearing black stockings.

"Teacher Lan."

"You are..." Lan Lan was startled.

"I’m the class leader of the Olympic competition Class 4, I just made an appointment for psychological counseling." Jiang Nian said with a straight face.

"I came to consult you today on some matters."

"Class 4?" Lan Lan felt apprehensive hearing the words Olympic competition Class 4, "Uh... You’re the class leader?"

"Yes."

"In your class...." Lan Lan was at a loss for words, hesitating, "The students are all really... enthusiastic huh."

"Indeed." Jiang Nian nodded.

"Alright, come in first." Lan Lan rubbed her temples, walking to the door and noticing the shift handover.

Then, she casually greeted them.

"Switched shifts?"

"Yes, teacher." Wen Qiweng smiled, his peripheral vision caught Jiang Nian, and a smile crept up his lips.

Feeling victorious, he spoke with an air of nonchalance.

"Those are the rules."

Lan Lan’s mind was fuzzy, filled with all sorts of hairy ideas. She didn’t have the energy for small talk and directly pushed open the office door.

"Come in."

After sitting down, Jiang Nian waited for her to speak.

A few minutes into the class, Lan Lan finally composed herself.

"Let’s hear it."

At the same time, she steeled herself mentally, recognizing that the students from Class 4 were really eccentric, treating this as a dumping ground for all kinds of tales.

The first one talked about furry lore, the next about fantasy novels.

Kneel and become a dog, spare you no harm!

"Teacher, we have a special student in our class." Jiang Nian began, "Here’s her situation....."

Several minutes later, Lan Lan sat upright.

As Jiang Nian spoke, her expression grew more serious. According to the usual scenario, this was the student she should be receiving.

"So, your request is to help secure a volunteer position at the Psychological Counseling Room for her, so she can stay at school during the winter break?"

Jiang Nian lowered his eyes and nodded.

"Yes."

Lan Lan pondered for a moment and agreed.

"Alright."

She thought again, reevaluating Jiang Nian.

"You’re quite a responsible class leader."
