After a while, people from Class Three started arriving one after another. Seeing Jiang Nian collecting the physical examination forms, they couldn't help but laugh.
"Where's Cai Xiang?"
He replied, "He had sothing co up, he'll be back soon."
"Why is it you?" Yu Zhiyi handed over the form and whispered, "I know a piece of gossip."
"What gossip?"
Yu Zhiyi: "Can't tell."
Jiang Nian: "...Then what about your mom?"
"Hey, why are you swearing at people?" Yu Zhiyi bit her lip, saying aggrievedly, "I didn't provoke you."
Perhaps after being scolded so much today, she was really feeling a bit upset. In an instant, her eyes turned slightly red.
"You're misunderstanding, it's just how guys talk to each other. It ans they don't see you as an outsider, this 'mom' isn't your mom."
Jiang Nian's expression remained calm, "This is just sothing I made up, a fictional mom that belongs to you, understand?"
"Is...is that so?" Yu Zhiyi was bewildered.
"Yes."
"Alright." She thought for a mont, it did seem like guys spent their days saying this and that about moms, just a bunch of momma's boys.
"Can you tell the gossip now?" Jiang Nian felt his patience running out.
Yu Zhiyi whispered, "I saw Lin Dong and Chai Muying, the two of them walking towards the river."
"And then?"
"That's it, that's the gossip." She said, pressing her hand to her chest, "Don't go spreading it."
"Making a fuss over nothing, what if they have sothing to discuss?" Jiang Nian wasn't interested in talking about it, he could always ask Lin Dong himself.
Yu Zhiyi rolled her eyes at him, too lazy to argue. She stamped her foot in protest and turned to leave, still fuming.
She may have forgotten, today she was wearing loose clothing.
Stamping her foot wasn't dramatically shaky but did cause a noticeable wave in the fabric.
Jiang Nian observed the whole process, showing no change in expression.
"A fool."
After Yu Yourong left, he continued standing there, tediously collecting forms from anyone in Class Three.
He thought to himself, when are they coming back?
A woman dressed like a teacher walked past Jiang Nian, looking sowhat familiar, and stopped in front of him.
"Hmm?"
"Student, are you from Class Three?"
"Yes, ma'am, my na is Li Hua." Jiang Nian was used to introducing himself as Li Hua before anything else.
Even if you're not guilty of anything, can you guarantee others won't do bad deeds under your na?
In this area, people of Class Three had so authority.
The female teacher asked, "Is there a Sun Zhicheng in your class?"
Jiang Nian paused, then answered.
"Yes, ma'am, there is. I also have a classmate nad Liu Yang, he often tells us you're very pretty."
Several Class Three students happened to be nearby, and upon hearing Jiang Nian, they couldn't hold back their laughter.
The female teacher's face ward up, and with a cough, she said.
"Li Hua, please tell Sun Zhicheng and Liu Yang to stop saying strange things."
This female teacher was indeed quite attractive, but she didn't add a final warning.
It could be said, she was quite gentle.
As soon as she finished speaking, people from Class Three laughed even more. The female teacher couldn't stand it and hurriedly left.
"Haha, Li Hua!"
"Impressive."
"What did Sun Zhicheng do, couldn't see it coming, and Liu Yang too, flirting with the teacher."
.....
Jiang Nian received two pieces of gum from a male student, tossed them into his mouth and chewed, then picked up the phone to call the class monitor.
"Qingqing?"
A few seconds passed before a cool voice ca from the other end.
"Yes."
"Where are you guys?" Jiang Nian could hear so noise, "Is the girls' restroom really so crowded?"
Soy Milk?
Surely she didn't fall in?
"In the hallway, soone in our class has low blood sugar," her calm voice said, "fainted in the boys' restroom."
Jiang Nian: "Who?"
Li Qingrong didn't say, instead continuing her story, "He was lying on the ground, grabbing the feet of people standing nearby."
"Saying he couldn't see anything, scared another boy in our class into falling into the urinal."
Jiang Nian listened, completely bewildered.
"It's that complicated?"
Li Qingrong: "Mm."
She was silent for a mont, her voice on the phone cool with a slight rasp, "I got the ssage you had Cai Xiaoqing deliver."
Jiang Nian: "It's a misunderstanding, purer than pure milk."
"Mm, we'll talk about this later."
"Huh?" Jiang Nian was puzzled, now it felt more unjust than Dou E's grievance, "But there's nothing going on."
"Mm," Li Qingrong's voice on the phone was cool and a bit scratchy, "I know."
"Then why....."
Li Qingrong: "Because I'm unhappy."
Jiang Nian: "...."
No choice, you win.
After hanging up, he sighed. But he didn't bla anyone, it was normal for him to face so consequences.
Never mind, the matter is as it is, let's eat first.
He thought for a mont, then called Chen Yunyun for a al, "I'm still at the check-up place, can you get so food for ?"
"And, could you buy a bottle of iced red tea? After being a volunteer here for so long, I feel like sothing sweet."
On the other end, Chen Yunyun's voice was soft and gentle.
"Sure."
After hanging up, Jiang Nian waited a while longer. Once he had collected everything, he brought it back for Cai Xiaoqing.
Actually, Jiang Nian didn't care much about finding people to have als with him; when he was busy, he was used to being the lone wolf in the cafeteria.
Moreover, if he were to make a habit of finding people to eat with, it would be near impossible with so many people, without even a scapegoat.
If they ran into each other, it would explode.
Chen Yunyun arrived at school first; she had already gotten the food in the dormitory canteen, dishes that Jiang Nian would eat.
She and Wang Yuhe sat in a corner on the second floor by the window, a place with little foot traffic, suitable for talking.
Whenever soone passed, they'd often glance at these two girls. Of course, because both were tall with straight legs.
Their faces were also nice, one gentle and the other delicate.
"Thanks, I was starving." Jiang Nian arrived almost simultaneously, sitting down and ready to twist open the iced red tea cap.
But as he twisted, he was dumbfounded; the cap was already opened.
"Did you open it?"
"Mm."
"I'm super hungry too." Wang Yuhe picked up her chopsticks, glanced at Jiang Nian, "Can't you even open a bottle cap?"
"Yeah." Jiang Nian said after a few sips.
"Such weak strength." Wang Yuhe pursed her lips; she purposely said that, seeing Jiang Nian not bothering to respond.
She imdiately felt less amused, and bowed her head, eating sullenly.
Jiang Nian had had a busy morning, not much to talk about. He was a bit tired, so simply ate quietly.
After eating and drinking, he glanced at Chen Yunyun again. It's not that she's not pretty enough, he thought, she's actually quite pretty.
This isn't about selecting Miss World anyhow.
Chen Yunyun was a bit embarrassed under his gaze and regretted, sotis she had those emotional impulses.
This morning, she shouldn't have asked, actually.
She just wanted to know, in Jiang Nian's eyes. Was she considered pretty, pretty among classmates.
Or.....a crush.
Anyway, even Chen Yunyun herself felt that. These thoughts were too convoluted, it kind of put Jiang Nian in a tough spot.
So, she decided to figure it out on her own.
Jiang Nian rubbed the bottle of iced red tea with his fingers, "Today is Friday, are you going to wash your hair?"
"Yes." Wang Yuhe replied.
Chen Yunyun originally wanted to say sothing, but refrained, lowering her head to continue eating, chewing carefully.
The atmosphere gradually quieted down. Jiang Nian didn't have much to say, either.
Wang Yuhe found it strange, why were both of them so silent. Tried to find sothing to say, but words failed her.
"You...return my tank."
"Why?"
"It's mine!" Wang Yuhe puffed her cheeks.
Jiang Nian remained calm, "It's not yours, I tricked it with skill, trick it back if you want it."
Wang Yuhe: "You!!!"
After eating and drinking, Jiang Nian parted ways with the two girls. He pondered for a while but found no clear solution.
He thought it over, then went back to the classroom to work on his tests.
anwhile, on the way to the teachers' dormitory, Wang Yuhe tugged Chen Yunyun aside and quietly asked.
"Are you guys fighting?"
Chen Yunyun turned her head, surprised at the expression.
"No."
"Just...a bit....."
