Rushed to the exam hall, and saw Wang Yuhe leaning on the railing, sticking her butt out, looking downstairs.
"What are you doing?"
The elentary school student turned around and looked at him.
"Overcoming fear."
"That's too dangerous, don't do this again." Jiang Nian pulled her away from the railing.
"Next ti we're off, I'll take you to the amusent park in the city. There's plenty of chance to overco it with a roller coaster or drop tower."
"Really?" Wang Yuhe was a bit happy and looked up to ask, "Jiang Nian, are you afraid of heights?"
", uh..." Jiang Nian thought for a while, too lazy to answer, "I'll tell you later."
"Ahem, complint a bit and I'll take you."
Wang Yuhe held back for a long ti and ca up with a sentence.
"You eat a lot."
Jiang Nian: "Can't you complint sothing obvious, like Jiang Nian the brother, the gentle, kind, invincible in the universe..."
Wang Yuhe's face turned red, and she turned her head away.
"You're universally annoying."
"Then I won't take you." Jiang Nian let go of her and said indifferently, "I'll take only Chen Yunyun."
"Eat ice cream, win a teddy bear prize."
"No way!! I want to go too!"
Yang Qiming was leisurely climbing the stairs with Huang Caicai, and as they reached the exam hall entrance, they saw the two playing around.
Jiang Nian also saw them and greeted from afar. After chatting a few words with Wang Yuhe, he entered the exam hall.
"Geez, why does Jiang Nian like teasing girls so much!" Yang Qiming casually complained.
"Why don't any girls play with ? Ding Qiulan hasn't been paying much attention to lately either."
Huang Caicai chuckled, "Looks, I guess."
"Crap!"
.....
Evening study, Chinese exam.
Jiang Nian diligently finished writing the questions and checked them, since monthly exams aren't weekly tests.
There's an old Chinese saying, "since you're here..." If you slack now, you'll end up suffering.
"Only the essay left, Forbidden City artifacts..."
Just finished writing.
Suddenly, ding, a sound.
[Standing at the intersection of 38, looking back at the first half of life, the journey is winding, tough, and desolate.
You reunite with Xu Shuang, the conversation ends on a bad note.]
No way, did it break down?
Jiang Nian sat in the exam hall, grasping a pen. He still rembered the last task, which was just chatting with Xu Shuang.
But in the system, it didn't go well.
In reality, he got along well with Xu Shuang. After entering the mountains, a bond was ford.
Although unsure how long it would last.
He continued reading.
[Two months later, Xu Shuang took the initiative to et you. Task: Accept this eting, Reward: Skill: Nourishing.]
Jiang Nian: "??? "
He could understand the system task, but this "Nourishing," looked like a wellness skill.
The more he thought about it, the more it seed off, so he opened it to take a look.
Nourishing: Provides additional healing effects, can reduce fatigue, bruises, and increase cell activity.
To put it simply, isn't it just promoting blood circulation and removing stasis?
Young.....
Jiang Nian stroked his chin, pondering for a mont. The system was bound to his 38-year-old self.
In another ti and space, although close to 40, his body was revitalized, restored to the peak at 20.
But it only worked on himself.
Though they say ti doesn't defeat beauty, the richer the won, the better they maintain themselves, but even then, mature won have aged a bit.
Estimate the system rewarded him to fill this gap, for Zhizhi and the others to use.
"Hmm....."
But in reality, he was surrounded by 18-year-old beautiful girls, what's the need for nourishing?
Old Jiang and them.....
He thought for a bit and continued reading, discovering another line at the bottom, (cd: ten days, bronze quality)
Quality?
Jiang Nian stared at those words, looking them over. It was the first ti he'd seen quality after completing so many tasks.
Before, the skills had levels. Like shopping, he felt guilty about it, and it was still at the lowest level.
His mind wasn't on it.
"Feels like a trick, next ti I should try it on soone." Jiang Nian muttered, making up his mind.
But it surely wasn't dangerous, at most there'd be a mix-up. Like being 18 years old tis two, bringing short-term side effects.
Co to think of it, it's like Sildenafil. Supposed to treat the heart, but ended up treating sothing else as well.
The bell rang, marking the end of the exam.
He packed up, waited for Wang Yuhe, and then exited the exam hall together, heading down to the fourth floor.
The classroom was bustling, only the last evening self-study was left.
"I think all my multiple-choice questions were correct." Zhang Ningzhi put down the test paper, sharing the good news with Jiang Nian cheerfully.
"Science comprehensive?"
"Yes."
There were quite a few experts in science and technology in the class, and after the exam ended, the correct answers quickly erged.
"Congratulations, perfect Zhizhi." he said sourly.
"Hmph!" Zhang Ningzhi sensed the sourness in his words, "Why are you so petty?"
"That's just how I am."
"You!!"
The two started playfully arguing while comparing the answers. Jiang Nian was devastated, getting two wrong in a row.
"Speechless, I'm dood this ti."
Li Hua, hearing this, got excited too.
"Let see."
"Get lost, get lost, why are you in such a hurry?" Jiang Nian covered his test paper, "Sigh, if a son isn't filial, it's the father's fault."
"Chi Shi!!"
Ma Guojun laughed, pointing at Li Hua, "Idiot, you just admitted Jiang Nian is your dad."
"You're also Chi Shi!"
"Stop ssing around, or you'll attract the teacher next door." Zhang Ningzhi quietly reminded.
Li Qingrong rested her head on her hand, watching the noisy front row. Her eyes were slightly lowered, her expression unchanged.
She reached out and tapped Jiang Nian.
The latter was startled, turned to look at the class monitor. Thinking he was mistaken, he asked softly.
"What's up?"
"Let see the test paper."
"Oh, oh."
Jiang Nian breathed a sigh of relief, thinking the class monitor had a good temper. She kept her word and never brought it up.
"Only two questions wrong."
Zhang Ningzhi watched the two discussing the questions seriously, pursed her lips, feeling a bit envious.
After class, she lingered around.
Jiang Nian noticed, so he packed up a bit slower. After the class monitor left, she finally spoke.
"Why didn't you ask ?"
Zhang Ningzhi looked up at him, blinking, "I got everything right too, you're not respecting !"
Jiang Nian was drained, "Alright, honestly, I didn't get it. Best deskmate, could you explain it again?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ningzhi felt a bit embarrassed.
"Hmph, no way!"
"Anyway..." She grabbed her bag, ready to leave, "Next ti you have questions, you better ask ."
Jiang Nian: "OK."
.....
At the school gate.
Xu Qianqian and the others had already left, sending Jiang Nian a WeChat, "Slowpoke, catch up."
He didn't bother running, instead leisurely walking back. At the alley entrance, he coincidentally ran into two girls with skewers in hand.
"Eating already?"
Jiang Nian extended his hand, "Where's my share?"
Song Xiyun glanced at Xu Qianqian, who looked up at the sky, "Who knew you'd want it, didn't buy any!"
"I'm talking about my share, not whether you bought it or not." Jiang Nian stepped forward and snatched two skewers.
Xu Qianqian: "..."
Song Xiyun: "..."
"You're really shaless." Xu Qianqian teased, "We could've left a long ti ago, but you're dragging us down."
Jiang Nian couldn't argue, so he stayed silent.
The three of them strolled in the moonlit alley of blue bricks, leisurely returning ho, each going their separate ways.
The next day, the exams continued.
English followed by math, by the ti they snapped back to reality, it was already lunch break and ti to switch seats.
The sixth group moved to the back row, middle of the classroom, while the class monitor was in the front corner.
"Aweso! Back to the last row!"
Li Hua cheered, hurriedly dragging Ma Guojun, rushing to the internet café to play.
Zeng You grabbed his phone and left, Zhizhi was taken by Yao Beibei, leaving only Jiang Nian and Huang Fang.
Jiang Nian looked at the empty classroom, feeling a bit trance-like. After all the commotion, it seed to have returned to the start.
"Sigh, back to being an old lonely person."
Hearing this, Huang Fang glanced back at him.
"What?"
