After evening self-study, the campus is quiet.
Jiang Nian walks towards the school gate and hears footsteps behind him, turning around instinctively.
"I'm heading ho, are you following ?"
Yu Zhiyi looks a bit bewildered, "I don't want my family to be in debt, but I can't convince my parents."
"Jiang Nian, can you help ?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian is at a loss for words. Bro, I'm not a do-it-all agency, nor a service departnt, how can I help with this?
Still, trying out Gold Coin reconciliation afterward might be worth a shot.
20 thousand lost?
That's not so bad; so families lose 60 thousand. At least your family is still around, be content.
He thinks for a mont, then says seriously.
"Alright, when you can't afford college, you can borrow money from , repay with additional fees."
"You, you!!!" Yu Zhiyi is genuinely fed up, who asked you to help like this.
"Okay then, here's a suggestion." Jiang Nian says, "The state offers interest-free loans for four years."
Yu Zhiyi: "Do we really have to lose money?"
"How would I know, go ask your dad." Jiang Nian replies, "I'm not your dad, what if you make a profit."
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhiyi calms down.
This kind of thing is really hard to give advice on, even when the scam is so obvious that even I can see it.
But the most fatal often cos down to the so-called "what if."
"Sigh." She takes a deep breath, "Got it, thanks anyway, I'll remind my parents."
Jiang Nian recalls that Yu Zhiyi's parents seem pretty decent and upright, and casually says.
"Lose a little and earn a little."
"Mm." She nods.
The two wave goodbyes and walk away in opposite directions. The dim light on the campus road shows the ground covered in yellow leaves.
Yu Zhiyi takes a few steps forward, pauses, then turns her head. She bites her lip and asks.
"If my family really runs out of money, would you lend it to ?"
Jiang Nian doesn't turn around, he just waves his hand. Still leisurely walking towards the school gate, casting a long shadow.
Yu Zhiyi bites her lip, and after a long while, she turns around. With hands behind her back, she hops along the campus road back to her dorm.
....
Returning ho, Jiang Nian rummages through his test papers. After quickly washing up, he knocks on the opposite door.
Knock knock knock.
Song Xiyun answers the door, looking at Jiang Nian with a puzzled face, "It's late, we're preparing to sleep."
Jiang Nian thinks for a mont and still goes in.
"Since I'm here."
Xu Qianqian yawns collecting her workbooks, the light above the dining table gently spills down, illuminating the surroundings.
"Why are you back so late today?"
"Tidying up test papers in the classroom took a bit." Jiang Nian chats for a mont and prepares to leave.
"Heading out."
Xu Qianqian yawns, stands up waving her hand.
"Take care."
Jiang Nian: "..."
He doesn't pay much mind, glancing at Song Xiyun before leaving. Feels like sothing's missing, thinks for a mont.
Oh, talk more with Xiao Song.
Daily interaction.
"My physics grades are unstable, I was organizing physics test papers in class, I'll take another look when I go back."
Song Xiyun looks up, slightly stunned.
"Oh."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian also feels a bit wordless. Bro, I spill all this and you give one word.
Forget it, steady as she goes.
"Bye-bye."
"Mm, goodnight." Song Xiyun raises her hand in a slight wave, pauses before closing the door.
Jiang Nian stands outside the door, lightly sighs. He returns ho, habitually studying late into the night.
Around two-thirty in the morning, he finally turns off the light to sleep.
The next day.
Jiang Nian gets up early, freshens up, and heads out with his bag. At the doorstep, he sees a stapled paper bag.
On it is a sticky note with neat writing.
"Physics error book."
Jiang Nian: "???"
He picks up the bag, examines it closely. The handwriting doesn't seem like Xu Qianqian's, but maybe.....
Xiao Song?
With a rustle, he tears open the paper bag. He takes out an error book, flipping through it slightly.
It's definitely Xiao Song's handwriting, filled with common mistakes and even annotations.
"Hmm?" He rubs the handwriting with his finger, fresh ink sars on the paper.
And such writing fills almost every page.
Written last night?
"Doesn't she sleep?" Jiang Nian murmurs to himself, saying his physics was bad was just offhand.
"My physics has been bad for quite a while. If you're running out of money, are you going to give money too."
He pauses for a mont and puts the notebook in his bag.
"Sigh."
A brief morning self-study.
Li Hua is chatting with Jiang Nian, seeing Liu Yang wearing an Adidas outfit coming in, montarily stunned.
Looking further down, shoes marked with a tick.
"Did you sell blood?"
Liu Yang chuckles, deliberately stomping his foot in front of Li Hua, "What's selling blood, I saved up to buy this myself."
"Didn't you spend your money on your ex-girlfriend?" Li Hua is shocked, then enviously says.
"It can't be fake, don't be so vain! Can't you learn from , being so frugal."
Liu Yang thinks a mont, then says.
"I got another new pair....."
"Pops!" Li Hua's face turns fawning, "These shoes look great on you, you look so handso."
"...New socks." He says.
"Chi Shi!!"
Li Hua's expression turns back to displeasure, the good mood of the morning ruined, damn it!
Liu Yang!!
Go serve your ex-girlfriend like a dog, blow Gold Coin hard, why buy Adidas!
"Bro, can you sell them? Classroom's crowded, I'll kneel to you outside."
"Sold, sold!!"
Liu Yang's annoyed, "Why should I sell, it cost plenty, gotta show off for a month..."
"No, wear them for a month then."
