Divorce Revenge System: Knowing the Future in Advance-Chapter 829 - 626: Upgrading the Upgrade

Damn, is this skill that abstract?

Self-evolution?

Jiang Nian couldn't hold back any longer, he walked out of the alley with an umbrella. His eyes landed on the bun shop, and suddenly, he had an urge to buy some.

The owner saw it was Jiang Nian, so he simply kept silent.

Jiang Nian didn't say anything either, standing in front of the shop with his umbrella. He looked at the owner with a really dumb expression.

In the end, the owner couldn't hold back anymore.

"What kind of buns do you want?"

Jiang Nian was taken aback, looked up and hesitantly asked.

"Don't you sell mantou?"

The owner: "...."

He thought to himself, kid, you'd better buy something, if you don't buy anything... Forget it, can't do much with customers.

"Yes, we sell them."

"Oh, oh, I want pork, radish, preserved vegetable, and vegetable buns, two of each kind."

The bags of buns felt a bit hot to the touch through the plastic bag.

[Four bags of buns with average taste]

Early morning, there weren't many people on the road, the owner casually asked, "Bringing breakfast for classmates?"

Jiang Nian replied resentfully, "I'm eating alone."

The owner gave an awkward smile, but then he heard another question from him.

"Do you sell steamed twisted rolls?"

The owner: "..... Yes, we sell those too."

"Do you sell steamers?" He touched it, and a line of text popped up, [A clean and perfectly washed steamer.]

Damn, the owner does have some conscience.

The owner: "..."

In the end, Jiang Nian still bought two steamed twisted rolls. Honestly, eating eight buns and rolls in one meal, even for a TikTok food blogger, would be quite a challenge.

Except...

But he didn't plan to finish it all. Near the red pavilion where they study, he wandered around and found Zhou Haifei.

"Did you have breakfast?"

Zhou Haifei's gaze dropped, and she hesitated.

"Yes... I did."

Almost out of habit, Jiang Nian asked another question.

"What did you eat?"

Zhou Haifei carefully raised two fingers, "Two... mantou."

Two mantou are indeed enough for girls with smaller appetites, enough to last a morning.

But this was Zhou Haifei, and he estimated she only had one.

Jiang Nian didn't bother listening and handed her two buns, "Here's two veggie buns, for vitamins."

After saying that, he walked away with his umbrella.

Zhou Haifei was stunned, the buns were a bit hot in her palm. She wanted to say something, but he was already gone.

".... Thank you."

She opened the plastic bag and nibbled on the bun. The white dough was fluffy, she gently bit a small hole open.

The slightly sweet aroma mixed with the heat brought out the flavor of the chopped mushrooms. Spreading on the tongue, refreshing greens soaked in the oily fragrance.

With each bite, her heart filled a little more.

When her grandpa was still around, the old man often took her to the market. He would wet his fingers a bit, counting out change with his rough hands.

Buying freshly steamed jujube cakes, warmly handing it to her mouth. A sweet bite, swaying people's hearts.

Later, the only thing swaying in the wind was the fresh grass on his grave.

....

"Fangfang, want some?"

"No thanks, I already ate." Huang Fang declined politely, but was surprised, "You ate that much?"

"What's wrong?" Jiang Nian asked.

"Guys really can eat a lot." Huang Fang said while resting her chin on her hand, watching the rain outside the classroom window, "It's raining today."

"Yeah."

Jiang Nian was struggling with the last twisted roll, swallowing it with some hot water Fangfang shared.

Huang Fang said, "It's nice, reminds me of when I was little, my dad rode a motorbike to take me to school on rainy days."

"I'd hide under the raincoat and guess where we were. Occasionally lifting the raincoat for a glimpse, verifying my guesses."

Hearing this, Jiang Nian gave her a thumbs-up.

"You're something, Fangfang."

"Hmm?"

"That's really childlike."

Huang Fang felt a bit speechless at that remark, "..."

Jiang Nian said, "When I was little, if I saw something I wanted to eat, I'd immediately pretend to be weak, claiming malnutrition."

"Unless my mom bought it, I'd fake a collapse right there."

Huang Fang couldn't help but laugh, "Didn't you get spanked?"

"Not initially, but once, I saw something at the pharmacy counter, thought it was candy." Jiang Nian explained.

"Heh heh heh." Huang Fang's face turned slightly red, she wanted to laugh, "You certainly deserved a spanking for that." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"Tsk." Jiang Nian took out his thermos and got up to refill it with hot water so Zhizhi would have some hot water when she arrived.

Be like Lu Bu, serve the heart, not the drink.

As it neared morning self-study, more people began to fill the classroom.

"Crap, left my umbrella outside."

"The aisle's all wet now."

"Where's it wet, let me wipe it for you."

"You tease!!"

Jiang Nian glanced over at Li Hua and Ma Guojun acting all gross, shook his head, thinking he couldn't stand it.

"Damn sissy."

"Chi Shi!!" Li Hua threw him a glance, then leaned in cheekily, "Gotta tell you something."

"What?"

"Last night I saw a local live stream of a fight." Li Hua wore a knowing smile.

"Was it girls or guys?"

"What do you think?"

"Send it to me, don't you dare hog it." Jiang Nian pointed a finger at him.

"What are you two eating?" In the midst of their pulling around, Zhang Ningzhi appeared, "Hello hello."

"Morning, superstar."

Zhang Ningzhi pouted, looking a bit displeased, "I told you not to shout that around, shout again and I'll hit you."

Jiang Nian shrugged, lately he felt a bit itchy for a spanking.

"Are we having a science test this morning?"

"Yeah."

Whoosh, they all pulled out their test papers. Started reviewing quietly, knowing last-minute studying beats none at all.

Jiang Nian wasn't studying and touched Zhang Ningzhi's thigh.

Hmm? No notification popped up.

"What are you doing?" Zhang Ningzhi turned, glared at him with displeasure, "Keep that up, and I really will hit you."

Damn, has she leveled up her torturing method?

"Zhizhi, you've got a bit of a sadistic streak." Jiang Nian pointed at her, not daring to try again though...

The class monitor arrived.

Li Qingrong slipped into the classroom at the last minute, spotted Jiang Nian moving around, and had a puzzled expression on her face.

"What's up?"

"Nothing, just let me see your test paper." Jiang Nian reached out to grab the paper, and in the process, touched her small hand.

The class monitor's hand was cool and soft.

Yet again, no notification popped up.

Looks like for now, only touching objects would trigger hints. For personal insight, it needs to be flagged with blue markers.

Li Qingrong: "...."

Touched first thing in the morning, her face still showed no expression.

As Jiang Nian picked up the test paper, small text popped up again, [A perfect score in math test paper].

"Huh?"

He froze, instinctively turned his head and said.

"You scored perfect in math?"

Li Hua, who was just about to brag from his seat, suffered a mental blow.

"What!!"

Li Qingrong: "?"

She glanced down at the paper, thought for a moment. Then looked up at him, slowly speaking.

"There's one multiple choice question, not a hundred percent sure."

"But you got it right." Jiang Nian said confidently, marveling, "So, a perfect score."

Can't say he wasn't a bit envious.

"Cough cough." Li Hua patted him, "Buddy, can you lend me the class monitor's test paper to check my answers?"

Jiang Nian turned, giving Li Hua's paper a glance.

"Let me see."

Hearing this, Li Hua had to stifle a laugh, showing a Dragon Picture expression.

Really, kid.

Trying to show off, huh?

Though I get it, wanting to show off in front of the class monitor with math. But if you can't understand it, how will you bluff?

"Hehe, go ahead then." Li Hua handed over the test paper, asking, "How many points do I look like I got?"

Jiang Nian touched it, and the notification popped up [A 145-point test paper].

"145."

"Chi Shi!!" Li Hua couldn't believe it, "You didn't even look, if it's 145, I'll chew two pounds of rock!"

"No need for that, just post a video online about it." Jiang Nian said, "Admit you're no match for your Mr. Jiang."

"Promise not to bark like a dog again, be a good son."

"Screw you!"

"Afraid? Then don't bother!"

"Chi Shi!! Bring it on!" Li Hua took back Li Qingrong's paper, seriously checking it.

Zhang Ningzhi just watched the whole scene, glanced at Jiang Nian, curiously looking at the group leader's reaction.

"Was he right?"

Li Hua raised an eyebrow, "Chi Shi, I didn't get a single one wrong, haha, Jiang Nian, you dog, you're done for!"

Jiang Nian remained calm, taking a sip of hot water.

"Oh."
