"Nothing much." Jiang Nian snapped back to reality, waved his hand, "Suddenly not used to your ugly face."
"Uncanny Valley effect, you know."
Upon hearing this, Xu Qianqian almost ground her silver teeth to dust. She lunged forward and pumled him with a flurry of punches.
"Ugly! Ugly!"
"You're the ugly one!"
"I'll show you fear! Uncanny Valley! Makes you stand out, huh?"
She hamred away, while Jiang Nian didn't even bother to dodge. He laid back on the sofa, playing dead, and suddenly asked.
"Xu Qianqian, did your class have a grass party?"
"What kind of party?"
Jiang Nian said, "Like gathering on the sports field lawn, sitting together in a circle, then singing."
Xu Qianqian: "???"
She looked bewildered, exchanged glances with Song Xiyun, "That's possible? When did this happen?"
"Last week."
"Our class probably..." Xu Qianqian pondered, "But the lawn is so dirty, and it's boring."
"Yeah." Song Xiyun agreed, "The boys in our class love to stir things up, but there's nothing worth recording."
Jiang Nian recalled, indeed there were plenty of internal conflicts in Class 4, argunts every few days.
In contrast, Class 3 was abstract but united.
"Uh, alright then."
He listened to the two girls discuss where to hang out afterward. After thinking for a mont, he took the initiative to suggest.
"Want to eat barbecue, or hot pot?"
Upon hearing this, the two girls simultaneously turned their heads to look at Jiang Nian.
"Hmm?"
"You can't leave the school during class ti."
"Exactly."
Jiang Nian pulled out a set of keys, patiently explained, "You don't have to leave school, it's upstairs in the cafeteria."
He then revealed the source of the dormitory.
"If you know the ti in advance, you can notify by the afternoon of that day, and then skip dinner."
Great, let's have a party.
After Jiang Nian finished speaking, he glanced at the two girls. He thought to himself if they refused, then exposing his den was in vain.
Luckily, after exchanging looks, the two girls directly skipped agreeing and began discussing what to eat.
"Is there a fridge?"
"Sounds good, no one's watching the electric bill. Barbecuing is too troubleso, need to buy a special pot."
"Yeah, yeah, not worth it at all."
Jiang Nian chuckled, realizing that the plan was set. As for why reveal the den, most likely for bragging rights.
Moreover, it didn't seem risky. Besides people from Class 4, who else could wander around outside?
More importantly, another day gone.
He also wanted to leave so anchor points for mory to savor in these last thirty jittery days.
Humans are like this.
Eating hot pot in a shopping mall, nothing special. At ho, it's just so-so. In a classroom, eh?
Divine cuisine!!
The more upscale the ingredients, the closer the place is to the school, the tastier it is, focusing on the thrill of flirting with taboo.
With initial plans set, Jiang Nian exited joyfully.
3 AM.
A QQ call popped up; Li Hua's silly father of Ultraman avatar occupied the phone screen.
[Son].
Jiang Nian didn't notice the ti, still solving problems. Seeing the QQ call pop up, he was montarily stunned before reacting.
"Wait, this beast..."
After answering, Li Hua's tone was exceptionally shocked.
"Damn, you really didn't sleep? Alright, alright, you stayed up till 3 AM to win the bet, huh?"
Jiang Nian: "???"
"Silly dog."
With a beep, he hung up the call.
.....
The next day.
Jiang Nian woke up early as usual, munching on a bun while heading to the school gate, and suddenly stopped.
"Morning."
"...Morning." Zhou Haifei timidly greeted, standing on the empty space behind the greenery.
"Why haven't I seen you lately?" he asked.
"I changed places." Zhou Haifei hesitated, "Recently, too many people passing by in the morning."
"Oh."
Jiang Nian rembered, around the second mock exam, a bunch of diligent students ca online, indeed many people started getting up early to prepare.
While responding, he glanced at Zhou Haifei using [Prophet], and soon a few entries appeared above her head.
Top student/Jiang Nian-friendly group/Grade slave/Very poor/Details for a fee.
As expected, the fewer the interactions, the fewer the entries.
Jiang Nian withdrew his gaze, noting those concerned with grades are more grade slaves, "Are you still working part-ti with Lan Lan?"
Zhou Haifei nodded, "Yeah, Teacher Lan Lan is pretty nice to , even cleared a small self-study room for ."
Whoa.
Admittedly, that's pretty good.
"Jealous, she's really kind to you." Jiang Nian said, "Too bad, she and I are astrologically incompatible."
Zhou Haifei: "???"
"What?"
"Nothing, just don't get along." Jiang Nian waved his hand, "Alright, I'm heading to the classroom."
"Mm-hmm." Zhou Haifei nodded.
She held her vocabulary book with one hand, her gaze, however, went past the shade of trees. Landing on soone, she thought.
No idea if the peace charm is on him.
Soone as ticulous as him would likely keep it in his bag. Even towards her, he'd show respect.
Zhou Haifei never verified, nor did she want to verify. She simply felt sure Jiang Nian would carry it.
It's the only thing she could offer at the mont.
Classroom, morning self-study.
Jiang Nian glanced at Old Liu, several entries popped out. Teacher/moocher/officious/details for a fee.
Huh?
Considering my relationship with Old Liu, why only three entries? Moreover, the teacher entry seed to be....
Glowing?
No way, buddy, your future is really bright?
On the podium, Old Liu stood with hands behind his back. He surveyed the class seriously during morning reading, his gaze swept over sowhere.
Suddenly, his expression softened.
His two pillars of future.
"Right." Li Hua put down the vocabulary book, incredulously asked, "Did you really stay up till 3 AM yesterday?"
"Yeah." Jiang Nian responded indifferently.
"Why did you stay up so late?" Zhang Ningzhi frowned, worriedly looking at him, "Too much intensity."
"Only until 3?"
Zeng You turned his head, disdainful, with pride in his competitiveness, he boasted, "I went to bed at five-thirty."
