Divorce Revenge System: Knowing the Future in Advance-Chapter 889 - 656: World-Famous Paintings (Part 2)
"Why?"
"Everything around is wet, just that small patch is dry," Jiang Nian said. "And there’s no covering above."
As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at Yao Beibei eerily.
"Don’t you find it strange?"
The scene fell silent for three seconds, Yao Beibei froze like a wooden chicken, and the atmosphere instantly turned terrifying.
"No, don’t scare me."
Zhang Ningzhi was even more trembling, her teeth chattering slightly, "You... you’re talking nonsense again, ri... right?"
"No, I’m not."
Just as the two girls were terrified, Jiang Nian pointed over there and said,
"That isn’t empty ground, it should be a pile of white stones. Someone stacked them there, or there’s a pit next to that place."
Zhang Ningzhi: "..."
Yao Beibei: "..."
The two girls walked closer and found it wasn’t a dry patch after all, yet they were speechless about Jiang Nian.
In the end, they could only find a wet spot. Using an umbrella as cover, they barely managed to change clothes.
Due to it being late, they didn’t dare let Jiang Nian get too far away.
After all, it was pitch black all around, everything was wet, and looked like a snake or something terrifying might pop out at any moment.
If they pushed Jiang Nian farther away, they wouldn’t be able to help if anything unexpected happened.
"Don’t you dare turn around!"
"Got it."
Even though he said this, Zhang Ningzhi looked at Jiang Nian, who was right there, and her face grew slightly warm.
Yao Beibei wasn’t much better, hugging herself.
"And you’re not allowed to talk."
"I..."
The two girls exchanged a glance and nodded in tacit agreement. They prepared to finish quickly but overestimated their coordination.
One went left, the other toppled over.
Instantly, the scene became chaotic. The two shook and swayed, pulling on each other.
At the moment they lost balance, the two girls instinctively grabbed onto the lifeline.
Namely, the person standing with his back to them.
Even though he heard the noise, Jiang Nian resisted curiosity and didn’t turn his head, standing in place.
He only felt two strong forces pulling him back. Caught off guard, he flew backward.
Before falling, Jiang Nian instinctively pushed the two girls.
The good news, they steadied.
The bad news.....
With a crash, Jiang Nian fell directly into a pile of wet bushes. Before hitting the ground, under the moonlight.
A world-famous painting.
.....
During evening self-study, the classroom was brightly lit.
Li Hua pretended to memorize vocabulary, heard the sound of a chair dragging from beside him, and turned his head for a glance.
"Hmm?"
He touched his chin, curiously asked,
"Why are your clothes wet?"
Jiang Nian was about to sit down, holding a wet coat in his hand. He hung it on the chair, looking quite depressed.
"It’s nothing."
"Did you get caught in the rain?"
"Sort of, fell in the water." He was vague, thinking today was really unlucky.
Even though he was the one who suffered, he got wet all over and took a few punches.
The code, it’s nonsensical.
"Oh, let me tell you some good news." Li Hua got excited again, "The class monitor is coming back tomorrow."
"So?"
"I’ll be free, what a crappy place, crappy job." Li Hua seemed possessed by Gao Yao.
"Since yesterday, I’ve been determined to take it step by step...."
Jiang Nian couldn’t be bothered, pulled out a pack of instant noodle seasoning from the drawer, ripped it open in front of him.
Dipped some with his finger, then licked it.
Li Hua: "???"
"What the hell, can you eat that?"
"Why don’t you try it and see."
"You think I’m crazy?" Li Hua scoffed, continuing to bury himself in vocabulary, "had, had....."
Two minutes later, he turned and looked at Jiang Nian again.
"What flavor?"
"Pork ribs."
Upon hearing this, Li Hua hesitated for a while, thinking Jiang Nian, being so picky usually, eating this must have some reason.
So, he also dipped a little to taste.
"What flavor?" Jiang Nian asked.
"Pork ribs." Li Hua frowned, not feeling anything special, "Didn’t you already eat it, asking me..."
Halfway through his sentence, seeing Jiang Nian smear a bit on his finger and then lick his middle finger, his whole body heated up instantly.
"Chi Shi Chi Shi!!"
"Jiang Nian, you damn dog!!"
Amidst the noise, the preparatory bell for evening self-study rang. People outside the classroom walked in, including Zhang Ningzhi and her group.
Yao Beibei glanced at Jiang Nian, her face slightly awkward. Without saying anything, she quickly left.
Zhang Ningzhi pursed her lips and placed her bag against the wall.
"Are you cold?"
Jiang Nian was speechless, "Do you even have the nerve to ask?"
Hearing this, Zhang Ningzhi pouted angrily again.
"It’s not like it’s because of..."
"Because of what?" Jiang Nian took the moral high ground, lowering his voice, "Then I won’t go next time."
Upon hearing these words, Zhang Ningzhi instantly went silent. Just then, Lin Dong came over to distribute test papers, pausing their argument for the time being.
A few minutes later, she poked Jiang Nian’s arm.
"Hmm?"
"Don’t be mad, okay?"
...
The first session of evening self-study ended.
Jiang Nian went to find the class representative, intending to get a copy of her math test paper. After explaining his request, the class representative nodded.
"Alright, let me find it."
Taking advantage of the moment while Li Qingrong was searching for the test papers, Jiang Nian stood by the podium and touched the bamboo pen holder on the class rep’s desk.
"Where did you buy this?"
Li Qingrong paused in her search for the papers and glanced at him.
"Do you like it?"
"Not really, I just think it looks nice." Jiang Nian put down the pen holder and started touching other things around.
Li Qingrong: "...."
In the back seat, Nie Qiqi looked displeased and complained.
"Why do you touch everything?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a pen cap from an ink brush hit her head. She let out an "ouch" and dared not speak further.
With her head down, she murmured complaints.
"Cai Cai, why don’t you do something?"
After speaking, she received a flick on the forehead from Cai Xiaoqing, immediately breaking down, clutching her head, and rolling around on the desk.
"Class rep! Boo hoo, look at them!!"
"They’re all bullying me!"
Li Qingrong glanced at Jiang Nian and took the pen cap he was about to throw out of his hand.
"Don’t throw it."
"Okay." Jiang Nian replied with regret, "Last time, it wasn’t enough for you to learn your lesson, you really have a short memory."
Nie Qiqi pouted, muttering softly.
Revenge is a dish best served cold.....
Sooner or later, I’ll get back at you!
Jiang Nian left early, exited the classroom, folded the test paper, and put it in his pocket, chatting with a group of people in the corridor.
"Brother Yang, how much money does one need to be considered wealthy?"
"A hundred thousand, maybe."
Hearing this, Lin Dong, standing nearby, turned his head to correct him.
"It’s seven million."
"Why’s that?" Huang Caicai couldn’t understand.
"According to bank interest, with seven million in the bank, you can be self-sufficient." Lin Dong explained and then thought for a moment before adding.
"If you’re in Zhen Nan, that’s seven million three hundred and eighty thousand as dowry."
Dowry jokes never get old.
Jiang Nian, feeling the night breeze, was slightly thoughtful. His current financial situation was barely enough to get married.
Zhao Qiuxue’s side was just recovering, with too long a payback period. In three more months, he would have to step in himself.
Currently, he couldn’t keep relying on those scratch cards.
Mainly, he found it too troublesome to run around and didn’t want to ask others to buy them. In that time, he might as well solve a couple more questions.
In high school, having enough money was what mattered.
If you can’t spend it, too much of it becomes a burden. After completing the college entrance exam, making money is no longer addition but multiplication.
However, maintaining connections with Xu Shuang is something he still needs to do.
Jiang Nian snapped out of his thoughts, pulling his scattered thoughts together, starting to ponder how to get a bit more prepared in physics before the first mock exam.
After all, aiming for 680 points, you could hit two birds with one stone.
No, three birds.
Song Xiyun was also involved.
As he was contemplating deeply, the self-study bell rang. Jiang Nian turned around, absent-mindedly preparing to head back to the classroom with several others.
Suddenly, there was a bang as someone bumped into him.
"Sorry, sorry!"
"No..."
Both of them looked up, one at a loss, the other with downcast eyes, awkwardly freezing. The one who bumped into him, Tingzi, had an expression that also became stiff.
"I....." Zhou Yuting couldn’t find the words.
"Self-study has started." he said.
"Oh, oh." Zhou Yuting quickly mumbled an apology, her face taut as she hurried into the classroom.
As she passed Jiang Nian, her mind was also in chaos. She took a few steps forward, then turned back.
"What’s the matter?"
"I’m sorry."
