Chapter 373: Chapter 327: The Sealed Box_2
Shouting so loudly that the entire class heard it.
Zhang Ningzhi nonchalantly continued writing her homework, the tips of her ears slightly red.
.....
During the break after the second evening self-study class.
Li Hua somehow got hold of a box of matches and returned to the classroom to show off to Jiang Nian, full of smugness.
"Fire Manipulation, isn’t it cool?"
Jiang Nian slightly raised his eyelids, put down the pen in his hand, and asked.
"Aren’t you afraid Lao Liu will catch you?"
"Afraid my ass!" Ma Guojun butted in, eagerly stirring the pot, "Li Hua has never been afraid of a teacher since he was a kid."
"Of course." Li Hua was easily baited into a smug grin.
"Damn, isn’t that Fire Manipulation?" Liu Yang came over from the podium area, "Awesome, awesome, let me have a look."
"Piece of cake, come, let’s go scratch a match in the bathroom!" Li Hua led a group out of the classroom, being followed by a crowd.
Jiang Nian was amused.
The brilliancy conceived after a whole night of contemplation by clumsy folks couldn’t compare to the spontaneous performance of a naturally talented player.
Jiang Nian didn’t join in the fun; the Six Cities joint exams were imminent.
Honestly speaking, he had a solid foundation of 540 points. If he put a bit of effort into his exam, scoring 580 or 590 wouldn’t be too hard.
But if he slackened now, he’d totally bomb the exam.
So, as long as he kept up the momentum, then...
Destiny favors me!
Suddenly, a tap-like press came from behind his back.
Well... let’s circle back.
He turned around and looked at Li Qingrong with her calm expression, barely holding back the curve at the corners of his mouth, dear wife.
Of course, that’s just his own indulgent thought.
In reality, this was a private, and not encouraged, method of motivational learning. First, find a good-looking top student, then hypnotize oneself.
Then to motivate... well, fine, I’m just a perv.
"Hmm, what’s up?"
Li Qingrong had him turn his head, yet said nothing. She just quietly looked at him, her eyes bright and clear.
The atmosphere became awkward just like that.
Jiang Nian looked up and down, not knowing what the class leader wanted to say. Did she secretly like him or what?
Great!
Tonight! Big prison!
Suddenly, Li Qingrong said seriously.
"Tomorrow is Tuesday."
"Huh?" Jiang Nian was taken aback, not needing to open the big prison for now, "Tomorrow’s Tuesday, uh... and then?"
Li Qingrong pouted her cherry-like, red lips and said, looking down.
"Basketball."
Hearing that, Jiang Nian broke into a sweat.
"Isn’t gym class on Wednesday? You’re planning too early for that, what if... what if it rains on Wednesday?"
Li Qingrong was instantly hit like by a bolt from the blue, silently took out her phone, and started checking the weather.
After a while, she frowned and said.
"Overcast."
"Hahaha, see, I told you, it might even rain that day..." Jiang Nian gloating, changed his tune halfway.
"If it rains, no worries, we can play something else."
"What?" Li Qingrong asked.
"Have you ever played with stones?" Jiang Nian raised an eyebrow, suddenly in the mood for mischief, thinking of a way to prank Li Hua.
But for now, he could also play with the class leader.
"I’ve... seen others play it." Li Qingrong recalled that in junior high, many in school played this stone-throwing game.
The game was quite simple too; find five stones that are the right size and shape. Play in levels of increasing difficulty, one step at a time.
First level, while tossing one stone in the air, quickly pick up another with one hand, until all four remaining stones are picked up, that’s considered a pass.
If you make a mistake, it’s the next person’s turn.
After passing the first level, the difficulty increases. Toss up two stones and, while they’re falling, pick up three of the remaining stones.
The tossed stones can’t touch the ground, or else you lose.
And so on, with three, four, five stones. The key to this game is to catch all the tossed stones.
This really tests the player’s hand speed and reflexes.
Of course, if you usually play a lot of video games and have fast hand speed, then you’re awesome, props to you.
"Even if you’ve just seen others play, that counts. When is it? High school? Or..."
"Junior high."
"Oh... junior high, that idiot place at Second Middle School really had a lot of people playing it." Jiang Nian’s expression turned odd, muttering under his breath.
In fact, he remembered the Second Middle being a mix of people, with quite a few spirited youngsters too.
He shook his head, not wanting to think about that unlucky place at Second Middle. Back then he got into a fight with a bunch of Sima, uh... except for Le Zhi.
That idiot got set up, got beaten for nothing, and even lost a shoe.
But the scene was too chaotic back then, and that incident was just the catalyst for later events, with a much longer time span...
Jiang Nian didn’t want to think about it, feeling a bit like an idiot back then too, and eventually got tired of being the good guy.
Removing the trouble fundamentally, that’s where the state steps in.
Without backing or dependence, how could a few little brats dare to act up? Just mimicking others, thinking about this and that.
If only they knew earlier, that once these big bosses graduate from junior high, they’d be taken to the suburbs by the factory’s shady middlemen for salary discussions, slapped around.
The big bosses would be scolded like dogs, losing all dignity. Naturally, those junior high kids couldn’t save face.
Still want to mess around?
The answer is obvious.
Over the past two years, with the state’s intervention, they’ve been rooting out the big bosses outside schools, improving the atmosphere at Second Middle.
The so-called restoring the fundamental requires clearing the source, is not without reason.
"Tomorrow I’ll get some stones... Forget it, I’ll borrow some erasers from Li Hua, cut a few pieces, and make something out of them."
Li Qingrong nodded, not quite understanding.
"Hmm."
In the third evening self-study class, the bell rang for class.
About seven or eight minutes into the self-study session.
Li Hua finally strolled in from outside the classroom door, a big smile on his face. Like a triumphant rooster, he raised his chin and swaggered in from outside the classroom.
As soon as he sat down, he said excitedly,
"Nian, you don’t know how fun matches are. In the dim bathroom, with a strike, I’m practically Prome—..."
Halfway through, Li Hua suddenly stopped in surprise.
Jiang Nian and Zhang Ningzhi were playing a game of throwing stones on the desk, but the material of the "stones" seemed a bit special and quite familiar.
He stared at them for several moments, then suddenly started rummaging through the desk cubby.
Panic ensued!
"Damn! Where’s my eraser!" Li Hua yelled furiously, grabbing Jiang Nian by the collar, "Where’s my eraser!"
"Ta-da-dee-dah-da!"
"Sprouting!" Li Hua was instantly exasperated, gnashing his teeth, "Playing the Knife Guy meme, huh! I’m not done with you!"
"It’s just an eraser, isn’t it?" Jiang Nian pried off his hand calmly, "Don’t be so stingy, are you even a man?"
"Damn it! You mother—" Li Hua was about to pick a fight, but then Jiang Nian said, if you win, I’ll give you three.
He immediately cooled his anger, his competitive streak coming out.
"Hey, I’m a master at this game." Li Hua flicked his hair and took the five little eraser pieces.
Juggling them, he almost fumbled the first level.
Li Hua looked a bit embarrassed but he had first-player advantage. He could proceed to the second level, so he forced himself to save face.
"Ahem, just a bit out of practice."
Second level, with a crash fell to the ground.
Jiang Nian and Zhang Ningzhi instantly turned into a barely-holding-back-laughter meme, both glancing at Li Hua, and then began to whisper jokingly.
"Leader isn’t even as good as me. At least I can last until the third level."
"Eh, well, you can’t say that." Jiang Nian didn’t hold back his voice, "What if Hua has a hidden illness?"
"Oh... that too."
Upon hearing this, Li Hua couldn’t bear it anymore.
"Chi Shi Chi Shi Chi Shi!!"
...
After evening dismissal.
Lv Xuan got into the family car picking her up at the school gate, slammed the door shut, and put her school bag on the back seat.
The taillights lit up, and the black Audi slowly drove away from the school entrance.
She looked down at her phone, and suddenly recalled the glimpse she caught on her way to a meeting during the evening self-study period.
Strangely, the more she thought about it, the more familiar it seemed.
The memories were somewhat distant, yet not entirely without trail.
Returning home, she didn’t go to wash up as usual, but instead moved a chair in front of the cabinet and stood barefoot on it.
Opening the topmost cabinet of the wardrobe, she took out a box from inside.
