Li Hua: "...."
Jiang Nian glanced over, indifferent. He wasn't interested in brand nas; comfort was all that mattered.
"Hey, we're high schoolers. We can't be too vain."
Liu Yang: "Do you want to lend it to you for a day after I wash it tomorrow?"
Jiang Nian was silent for a mont, "Can Li Hua wear it? I'm planning to charge him a fifty-dollar referral fee."
"Chi Shi, Chi Shi!!"
Zhang Ningzhi glanced at them and sighed inwardly, it seed Jiang Nian wasn't into these things.
Originally, she wanted to…
Lately, she'd noticed that Jiang Nian had been seeking her out less frequently. However, it was the sa with the class leader as well.
Jiang Nian seed to be focusing more energy on the final sprint.
Was he trying to solidify his grades?
Jiang Nian was out of options and found the exercises unbearably boring. But he couldn't keep playing with people, so he sses with his buddies.
Special tis call for special asures.
During the big break, he watched as the class left one by one. He stretched lazily and followed them out.
"Forget it, I'll go find Old Liu for so tea."
In the Chinese office, Old Liu was chatting with other teachers. Spotting soone entering from the corner of his eye, he shuddered.
He thought it was Ji Ming coming to catch him not watching the students run exercises.
"Jiang Nian?"
He breathed a sigh of relief, yet felt a mix of helplessness, "You, couldn't you make a sound when you walk?"
"Why should walking make a sound?" Jiang Nian was confused but didn't let it interrupt him from finding a chair to sit in.
After a comfortable groan, he squinted his eyes and said.
"Then I'll buy a pair of kids' shoes at noon, the kind that squeaks with every step, is that enough?"
The female Chinese teacher from another class, upon hearing this, couldn't help but smile, thinking this student was interesting.
Old Liu was a bit speechless, "So disrespectful, but why aren't you in the canteen and ca here instead?"
Hearing this, Jiang Nian sat up straight.
"Teacher, are you stalking ?"
"What nonsense!" Old Liu was exasperated, "The student union reported you several tis, and I blocked them."
"Reported ?" Jiang Nian wasn't bothered, pouring himself a cup of tea, "They must be really bored."
Old Liu thought so too, but didn't respond.
Suddenly, bang bang bang bang!
Jiang Nian turned his head, surprised to see Old Liu tapping his arm four tis, showing a puzzled expression.
"Huh?"
However, Old Liu ignored him, just swaggered out of the office with his hands behind his back.
Jiang Nian: "???"
Really, after Old Liu's hand got better, he stopped cosplaying as Danzo, and now started cosplaying as the Bodhi Ancestor?
Even if there were people in the office, to avoid being seen and heard.
But...
What if I don't get it?
Outside the office, as Old Liu paced, he thought if Jiang Nian didn't get it, he'd have to tap him four more tis during the third break.
Sigh, the younger generation just isn't what it used to be.
....
Noon ca around quickly.
Jiang Nian was rubbing his right arm as he arrived at the office door. Was Old Liu holding a grudge against ?
He tapped again during the third period!
When school ended, Old Liu was still waiting in the office corridor. Seeing Jiang Nian approaching, he nodded approvingly.
Ah, this student can be taught.
"Jiang Nian, you finally understood my intention. My efforts running up to the fourth floor during break weren't in vain."
Really, I...
Never mind, business first.
"Teacher, is there any update on the rest area matter?" he asked curiously, "Where is it?"
"Administration building or the repeater building?"
"Neither." Old Liu pulled out a shiny yellow key and handed it to Jiang Nian, "It's in the canteen."
"Huh?"
"The boarding dorm for elite class students, a standard four-person room. It has air conditioning, a fridge, and a washing machine, all included."
Old Liu walked ahead, motioning him to follow.
"Let take you to see it. You're in luck, a room opened up just in ti for the application to go through."
Though they said application, it was actually just a matter of a word.
Actual authority ans being able to allocate resources. Those whose words have weight are the real leaders with authority.
Otherwise, no matter how big the title, it's just that.
"Teacher, I haven't eaten yet." Jiang Nian hinted slightly as they passed the canteen.
Your beloved student hasn't had lunch, you know.
"I haven't eaten either. Hold on a bit." Old Liu said, "At my age, I don't even get hungry anymore."
Jiang Nian: "..."
The two ascended the stairs to the third floor. The building appeared slightly dated, the corridors lined with large pink tiles.
The air carried the faint mustiness left after mopping the floor.
"This place..."
"Hey!" Old Liu interrupted him, "Don't let the exterior fool you, it's actually quite new inside."
It was just after school, and many dorm rooms in the corridor were locked. The elite students hadn't returned yet.
"Alright then." Jiang Nian nodded.
They stopped at a middle dorm, Jiang Nian followed Old Liu inside. A person-high fridge, an all-in-one washer and dryer.
A wall-mounted air conditioner and a large balcony.
A four-person bed setup with an upper bed and lower desk. Green tal fras, with only bare bed boards left.
"This place can accommodate four, but it's best if you live here alone." Old Liu chuckled.
After the laugh, he realized Jiang Nian wasn't amused, and felt his heart skip a beat.
"I'm warning you, there's less than a month to the college entrance exam. Don't cause any trouble."
"Teacher, you're too paranoid." Jiang Nian was embarrassed, thinking how Old Liu was like Cao Cao.
Inherently suspicious, always talking in his sleep.
This is the elite class dorm, not so uncharted territory. Am I supposed to bring soone here to hold a silver party?
"Is it only usable at noon?" he asked.
"That's not it." Old Liu said, "Now that you have the key, it's yours to use as you see fit."
"However, I must advise a few things..."
After Old Liu left, Jiang Nian strolled around the empty dorm, gradually getting excited.
Nice! Silver party!
But before that, I'll need to clean the place up. It's dusty, and I need to buy a mop.
After school in the afternoon.
He cleaned the dorm inside and out, bought a cooling mat, a bucket, and other necessities.
Before long, a clean dormitory was ready.
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded at the door, "Jiang Nian? Why did you move here?"
Turning around, it was Xu Shuang.
"Huh?"
Jiang Nian was a bit surprised, "Aren't you a day student? Why are you at the elite class dorm?"
"Oh, I saw you from downstairs." Xu Shuang said, "You seed to be carrying a lot, and I got curious."
"Besides, I probably have a spot here too."
Jiang Nian: "???"
"Is that so? Which dorm is yours?" He looked around, the elite class dorm seed co-ed.
The North District building didn't separate genders by floors, so a boy's dorm might be next to a girl's dorm.
Xu Shuang didn't speak, just pointed behind Jiang Nian, at the dorm room he'd just spent a lot of effort cleaning.
"It's this one."
"What?" Jiang Nian was a little confused, "When I ca here, our horoom teacher didn't ntion there was anyone."
"I never stayed here." Xu Shuang explained, "This dorm has four slots, and I've occupied one."
"But only two people actually live here, and those two girls stopped staying recently."
Jiang Nian: "Oh~"
Then what are you saying?
"Anyway, I've cleaned it up. Do you want to take a tour?" He asked out of courtesy.
Normally, soone would decline at this point and then say goodbye.
Unexpectedly, Xu Shuang directly nodded and agreed, "Sure, I've never stayed in a dorm."
Jiang Nian was confused, thinking her words were ambiguous.
"Really? Then you'll have to wait until university. Hmm... you might not stay in a dorm there either."
Sigh, these rich people!
Xu Shuang acknowledged this with a casual hum, not saying much more. She then genuinely looked around and checked the fridge.
"Your fridge is really big, you can fit a lot in it."
"Indeed."
"Can I store so milk here?" Xu Shuang asked, "It's a hassle to carry it back and forth every day."
"This..." Jiang Nian hesitated.
"I'll share half with you."
"Huh?"
Jiang Nian was conflicted, this dorm was provided by the school. He should be low-key on his first day.
However, she was his financial backer.
Hmm.....
