Suddenly, the fortune ca to mind.
"It seems like there's going to be heavy rain recently, and the temperature keeps fluctuating. You guys, take care not to catch a cold and cough."
So things are hard for him to say directly.
Xu Qianqian instinctively wanted to brush him off but suddenly rembered Song Xiyun's persistent cough before.
"By the way Xiyun, have you been coughing again lately?"
Song Xiyun thought for a while and shook her head.
"No more."
The last ti, the doctor said, she had been sick since childhood. Bit by bit, it beca a major issue.
A few thousand bucks of illness was indeed a big problem for her. After all, it's equivalent to a year's tuition fee.
However, Jiang Nian completely cured her.
"Oh, that's good." Xu Qianqian casually said, "During the college entrance exam, there'll definitely be heavy rain too."
"Getting sick during the college entrance exam is indeed troubleso." Jiang Nian added, "It will affect the scores."
The three of them walked slowly, entering the small alley lined with blue bricks.
Jiang Nian glanced sideways, looking at the two girls who were walking with him. He thought to himself how long such days could continue.
One day lived, one day less.
Downstairs, before Xu Qianqian went upstairs, she slightly turned her head and glanced at Jiang Nian behind her out of the corner of her eye.
Her gaze was sowhat scattered, also a bit complicated.
Originally, things were peaceful with him; two days ago, they accidentally got carried away. The delicate relationship had been thus pushed to the forefront.
Previously, they could understand each other without speaking, but now, they must tread carefully, unsure of what the future would hold.
The three of them had their own thoughts, and they fell into silence for a while.
In the living room.
"What's this?" Xu Qianqian leaned over, glancing at the test papers in Jiang Nian's hand, "Golden Sun?"
"The physics teacher gave it." Jiang Nian couldn't bother to explain the tutoring session, nor could he shout aloud about it in the streets.
"Can you do it?" Xu Qianqian muttered.
"Hey you!!"
Jiang Nian was a bit anxious; why did she talk about what's sensitive, "Am I not making up for it now?"
Song Xiyun, holding her clothes, was about to enter the bathroom.
"Is it one-on-one?"
"Yeah, it's free." Jiang Nian said, "The school's arranged it, every afternoon there's a tutoring session."
"Why haven't I heard about it?" Xu Qianqian looked baffled.
Jiang Nian was speechless, "You're already hexagonal, what's there to make up for?"
Song Xiyun laughed, pulling open the bathroom door, "Exactly, Qianqian, your grades have no shortcomings."
"Pfft."
Jiang Nian and Xu Qianqian didn't have much to talk about either, and to avoid awkward silences, they tacitly retreated.
Each returned ho, washed up, and rested.
He didn't rest much, but continued to fight late into the night. As the saying goes, if talent isn't enough, compensate with ti.
With the device on, he couldn't work for 48 hours a day. But renewing energy allowed him to squeeze out quite a bit of ti.
Jiang Nian kept writing test papers until two or three in the morning before the sleepiness ca, reluctantly turning off the lights to sleep.
....
The next day.
Thursday morning classes were relatively relaxing, filled with courses like Chinese and English, akin to self-study sessions.
Jiang Nian had been listening to Li Hua recite words for nearly two hours, his ears almost growing calluses.
"Don't you get tired, fake foreigner?"
"Not tired." Li Hua puffed his chest, looking very proud, "I feel all hot right now."
"What do you an?" Jiang Nian was puzzled.
Li Hua: "Revitalized!"
Zeng You turned around, smiling cheerfully.
"The leader has been reciting all morning; I didn't catch a single word. It doesn't sound like English, more like a self-invented dialect."
"Chi Shi!!"
Jiang Nian chuckled too, too lazy to deal with the two of them. He turned to Zhang Ningzhi, lowering his voice to chat.
"Do you know, after the second mock exam, will there be a holiday?"
"Really?"
Zhang Ningzhi heard and got a bit excited; going to school early every day was indeed monotonous and torturous.
If he could rest a bit, that would be great.
"How many days off?"
"I could go..."
The words were halfway through before she stopped, rembering the agreent not to hang out with Jiang Nian before the college entrance exam.
"Where to?"
"Forget it, nowhere." Zhang Ningzhi's face fell, "I'd rather stay ho and revise hard."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian said nothing.
He had already decided to give it his all during those two days, as they were all miserable people grinding through practice questions—it was better to be miserable together.
During the big break.
The group erupted as soon as Jiang Nian shared the news about the holiday.
He took a mont to turn his head, looking at Li Qingrong, asking, "There's a two-day holiday next week, what are you planning to do?"
Li Qingrong lowered her eyes and casually replied.
"Going for a walk in the park."
"Oh, then you should be careful." Jiang Nian glanced over, only to find the class leader had already gone to find Huang Beibei.
"In broad daylight, there might be perverts."
Upon hearing this, Li Qingrong looked up, sizing him up.
"Indeed."
"Qingqing, I'm naturally quite righteous. Ahem, why don't you let know when you're heading to the park?"
Jiang Nian said, "If I ride pass, perhaps I could ensure your safety."
Li Qingrong was about to get up and gave him a look again.
"On the holiday evening."
"Want to drink sothing that day?" Jiang Nian wasn't sure if he'd have ti that day.
However, that wasn't the focus.
Compared to rational results, girls care more about emotions. Talking about drinks felt as if she were there.
They're emotionally pre-empted.
Even if the class leader didn't want to go, thinking about the scene floating in her mind might make her hesitate and doubt a bit longer.
"Mineral water."
"How about sothing sweet, like milk tea?"
"Fine."
The two had reached the entrance, with almost nobody around. Jiang Nian tagged along as they walked down, asking at the corner.
"Can I hold your hand when walking in the park?"
"No."
"Huh?"
Jiang Nian failed to trick her and was sowhat annoyed, "Qingqing, you're so stingy, won't even let hold your hand."
"Hmm."
Downstairs, Jiang Nian halted.
He watched Li Qingrong walk toward the playground, pondering that the class leader usually wouldn't lie.
Of course, there were exceptions.
Morning passed in a blink, and it was ti to dismiss. Jiang Nian ran into the Taoist priest at lunch in the cafeteria.
"Hmm, why are you eating in the cafeteria?"
"The boss isn't eating there, writing questions in the classroom." Zhao Yiqiu said, "Planning to eat a salad soon."
She shrugged, looking helpless, "I don't like eating greens, so I ca down to find so food myself."
"Salad?"
Jiang Nian upon hearing, got more confused, "High school seniors eating this at noon, can it be filling?"
"No idea, seems like trying to lose weight." Zhao Yiqiu cautiously ate, letting not a grain of rice fall.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian found it even more absurd.
"She's already so thin, what's she slimming for? Isn't it right, the weight's almost nothing?"
"Yeah." Zhao Yiqiu agreed lightly, not paying much heed, "Why don't you persuade the boss?"
"?" Jiang Nian was baffled.
"Yep, the boss doesn't listen to either." The Taoist priest turned her eyes on him, the look of expectation on her face.
She also doesn't listen to !
Jiang Nian mumbled inwardly but wasn't dumb. They were just friends; why ddle unnecessarily?
"Next ti, I'll ask when there's a chance."
"Okay."
.....
Jiang Nian left the cafeteria and walked towards the senior building. He climbed to the fourth floor, planning to soak up so sun.
Chen Yunyun and the others had moved chairs outside to work on questions and chat, each holding a box of fruit salad.
Guess they made it themselves, with so yogurt on it.
Wang Yuhe held a bag of duck legs, eating a bite from the left and chewing from the right, eyes squinting.
"You're here?"
"Hmm!!"
"Jiang Nian is here!!"
She instinctively hid the duck legs, scurrying behind Chen Yunyun, cautiously avoiding sight.
"Don't steal my snacks, at most I'll give you a bag."
"Okay." Jiang Nian temporarily acted as one, finding his fruit salad after sitting down, "Where's mine?"
Chen Yunyun said, "On your desk."
Thus, he went into the classroom, grabbed a box of fruit salad. Not bothering with moving a chair, he squatted at one side instead.
"The thing you asked to find out, there's a result."
"Hmm?"
"They said, just normal friends."
