"Hehe, almost."
The student staff mber laughed and said, "You’ve never heard of the Senior Brother from the counseling room?"
"If you fill out the form, he might even be the one handling the materials."
Upon hearing that, the student felt a bit timid. He didn’t really want to register, but it was mandatory for the class.
Each class had to nominate soone, and it just happened to be his turn.
"He won’t ss with , right?"
"No." A female staff mber shook her head, saying, "Senior Jiang has a pretty good temperant, though he’s not interested in girls."
Lounge.
"A rare visitor?" Lan Lan glanced at him but didn’t get up, "How co you have ti to co over?"
The room wasn’t big, with a sofa and air conditioning. But lying down to rest and being seen by students wasn’t a good look.
So, Lan Lan set up a swinging chair.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian paused and nervously asked, "The counseling room... was it bought out by you, Teacher?"
"No." She pouted.
"Then I can co whenever I want." Jiang Nian lay on the sofa, "Is your coffee machine still working?"
"Private use."
"Teacher, it’s for self-use."
Lan Lan pursed her lips but finally couldn’t hold it in. Her shoulders shook with laughter, "Make it yourself."
"I don’t know how."
"Ha."
Even as Lan Lan was about to get up to make it, she heard from behind, "Four cups."
"Go to hell!!" Lan Lan threw a cushion over, "Do you take my place for a coffee shop?"
"Then two cups."
"I don’t care how many cups, make it yourself." Lan Lan was speechless, "If you really can’t, there’s manual equipnt in the cupboard."
"Oh."
Jiang Nian indeed ca to make coffee, planning to return a cup for Zhizhi, and give another to Master Qingbao.
As for himself, he wasn’t in the mood to drink.
Giving back coffee wasn’t cold; it was just a form of respect. If it were a bought drink, it wouldn’t matter.
Zhizhi had put effort the last ti, so he had to return the favor.
Lan Lan had disposable coffee cups here, with lids on top, and even bags to pack and take away.
"Teacher, have you really never considered opening a coffee window?"
"Heh heh."
Lan Lan leaned against the door, sneering, "Who’s going to buy, and what about my teaching qualifications?"
"Take them again?"
"Go to hell!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian glanced back, "What about my award as an exemplary student?"
Lan Lan: "...."
While he was talking, his hands didn’t stop. In a mont, the coffee was ready, packing and all.
"Teacher, I made you a cup."
"Thank you."
"You’re welco."
Lan Lan smiled, but it wasn’t like she was very happy. The equipnt and beans, along with the cup and paper bag, were all hers.
He only got her one cup, and she had to thank him.
My coffee!!
Today, she wore a white puff-sleeved short top, black chiffon pants below, giving off a tall and elegant look.
Standing by the door, a beam of beige sunlight shone through the wall, making for a good wallpaper snapshot.
Windows computer, like the default rotating beauty background.
She watched Jiang Nian’s packing actions and casually asked, "What do you plan to do after graduation?"
"Visit my alma mater and see the teachers."
Lan Lan: "....."
This guy is really pretentious, needing her now, and pretending to have such a deep teacher-student bond.
"What if I hadn’t lent you the coffee machine just now?"
Thinking for a mont, Jiang Nian replied seriously, "Recently, I heard Vice Principal Gao say that outsiders are no longer allowed in the school."
Lan Lan: "You..."
Jiang Nian giggled, "But I think as an outstanding alumnus, I can still get in with facial recognition."
Lan Lan was completely convinced, losing all interest in continuing the conversation.
"You can leave now."
"Oh."
....
Comprehensive Science Office.
Qingbao looked at the paper bag on the desk, in a daze for a while, "Where did you get coffee during class ti?"
"From Teacher Lan."
"Oh." Qingbao’s reaction was flat, finding it sowhat amusing, "During recess, you went to do that?"
"Found sothing nice, thought of bringing a piece for you, Teacher." Jiang Nian didn’t ntion who the other piece was for.
Qingbao assud the other was for Jiang Nian.
"Alright, thank you."
She took a sip, it was hot and a bit bitter. After the bitterness passed, a faint llow fragrance returned.
It lingered in her mouth, quite delightful.
"Since you’re here, count test ten and eleven, take them up, and distribute them soti today."
"Okay, sure."
Shush shush, the sound of counting papers filled the office. Jiang Nian counted quickly, occasionally glancing down.
So teachers looked up, curiously watching.
"Won’t you make mistakes counting like this?"
"Nope." Qingbao didn’t wait for Jiang Nian to answer, put down the coffee, and said, "This student of mine never makes mistakes."
"....Alright." That teacher seed skeptical, feeling Qingbao was just being protective.
How could you not go wrong counting test papers so quickly? But if there were two more, it wasn’t a big deal.
Jiang Nian finished counting, greeted, and left.
Upstairs.
He placed the coffee on Zhang Ningzhi’s desk, glanced at the class monitor, who didn’t react.
But of course, since it was just one.
It’s likely to be considered delivered while running errands, hard to think of it as handmade by him.
However, even if found out, it wouldn’t matter.
Rustling, amidst widespread sighs. The biology tests were distributed, two copies per person.
"Qingqing, are you free at noon?"
"Hmm?"
"I have sothing urgent." He looked tense, lowering his voice, "Can I have lunch with you?"
Li Qingrong: "...."
Urgent?
"No." She said, "Tomorrow works, my sister’s going to a al, so I’m tagging along for food and drinks."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian was stunned.
"Like last ti?"
Last ti, he accompanied Li Qingrong downtown, played the chauffeur role, and had a al.
But it was just so-so.
"No, my sister’s friend is getting married." Li Qingrong said, "It’s right in Zhen Nan, Tsinghua Restaurant."
"Oh~"
Classic Tsinghua Restaurant, always a local go-to. Year-round, it seems always hosting als.
"Alright, tomorrow it is then."
Jiang Nian agreed readily, not expecting such an unexpected gain, "Then tomorrow, will your sister be at our table?"
Li Qingrong looked up and stared at him for a while.
"Mm."
"Well, alright." Jiang Nian shook his head, "I just think having an elder around might be a bit restrained."
Li Qingrong gave him a sidelong glance and kicked him under the table.
"Oww~!!"
After a while, Zhang Ningzhi returned.
"Huh?"
She glanced at the bag, with only a smiley face on it. She imdiately understood; this was from Jiang Nian.
Hand ground, he really went out of his way.
"Thank you."
"Mm."
In a blink, it was noon dismissal.
Zeng You had just stood up when a brick-like power bank fell to the ground. With a thud, it broke apart.
"Whoa crap?"
"May it bring peace." Li Hua, who was at the classroom door, returned almost imdiately with a quip.
"Co on, let wipe so spit on your forehead for good luck."
"Get lost!!" Zeng You backed away, looking disgusted, "What the hell, are you being disgusting?"
"What a big brick." Wang Yuhe passed by, couldn’t help but remark, "Is it already broken?"
Zeng You was heartbroken but forced a smile.
"It’s not broken."
When the classroom cleared out, he got up, headed to the podium’s power outlet, plugged it in with hope.
The light didn’t co on.
Zeng You imdiately knelt down, wailing, "Oh grandpa, over a hundred-bucks power bank, don’t die on !"
"Hahaha!!"
Laughter erupted from the side, Jiang Nian rose from under a seat, "Grandson, grandpa’s still kicking."
"Damn!!" Zeng You was embarrassed, "Jiang Nian, why are you still here, where did you co from?"
"Tying my shoelaces." Jiang Nian said, "How can you flirt with girls on the road if your laces aren’t flashy?"
"Screw it, I’m done talking to you." Zeng You gave up, carrying the white brick-like power bank out.
Jiang Nian chuckled, leisurely exiting the classroom, only to run into the returning Li Qingrong, smiling.
"Who are you flirting with?"
