anwhile, the lights were still blazing brightly on the third-year floor.
Each class left so people on duty, leaning on brooms, gazing at the deserted building and the pile of exam papers and textbooks.
"There's so much, how are we supposed to sweep it all?"
"There should be a place downstairs that takes old books. We can sell these and split the money."
"Forget it, that stuff is barely worth anything. If a year-old pig stands on it, it'd weigh less than ."
"But it's close by..."
"Ugh."
Yu Zhiyi listened to their discussion, silently squatted down, searching through the heap of papers and found so reference books.
"Must-Practice Questions, Small Topic Intensive Drills, 53."
"Why would they just throw them away?"
She opened the page with the na, took a photo, and then found the contacts to send it straight away.
After a while, Jiang Nian replied.
"Give a cut of the junk sale."
Yu Zhiyi was instantly amused, how could this guy graduate and still be like this? She typed word by word.
"Not sorry to throw it away?"
Jiang Nian sent a question mark, then replied.
"Are you going to repeat a year?"
"You're the one repeating a year!!"
"If you're not repeating, there's nothing to be sorry about throwing it away," Jiang Nian said, "Originally, Li Hua planned to sell them."
"But since the plan changed, we might as well forget it."
In fact, Li Hua couldn't resist the lure of going online. He did well on the exams, has money now, and also damn graduated.
Who wouldn't go to the internet cafe?
Jiang Nian even suspected soone snuck into a hotel. If not, then went for a foot massage, rain on the plantain leaves.
Only he, dutifully eating barbecue.
In the classroom, Yu Zhiyi put away the three books, placing them in her basket to take them later.
No other reason, just felt it was wasteful to throw away.
In case back ho, so cousins were still in their third year, they might co in handy.
Yes, that's right.
She easily convinced herself, then left with her backpack, heading towards the brightly lit dormitory.
ssages kept popping on her phone, but she was too lazy to check them.
.....
Night fell.
Jiang Nian was in Xu Qianqian's living room, eating barbecue and chatting, the three of them slowly had so drinks.
Around midnight, a call ca in.
"Mom?"
"Still not asleep at this hour?"
Li Hongi: "Where are you, not coming ho. If you're going online, I'll leave the door for you."
Jiang Nian: "???"
"Mom, we've graduated, why bother where I go?"
"Who wants to bother with you, it's not..." Li Hongi said, "Forget it, can't be bothered to talk to you."
The phone then went to Old Jiang.
The latter rambled on this and that for a while, basically saying not to fool around in the middle of the night.
"Ah?"
"I'm just next door, Dad, you want Xu Qianqian to pick up?" Jiang Nian was even more bewildered, wondering what was up.
"Can't afford the embarrassnt."
Jiang Nian: "??? "
"You... forget it, I'll talk to you tomorrow." Old Jiang quickly hung up, "Make sure to co back later."
For most people, it would be troubling.
But not for him.
Why? Because he's unfilial.
Jiang Nian ignored it, hung up and turned to continue playing with Xu Qianqian and the others.
Make sure to co back later aning don't co back until morning.
"Whose call was it?"
"My parents', telling not to stay out all night." Jiang Nian went back to the sofa, continued drinking.
Xu Qianqian, a bit tipsy and confused for a mont, "You didn't tell them you're here?"
"I did, old-fashioned thinking."
"Oh oh."
Xu Qianqian didn't ask more, switched the TV channel. Felt a little hot, glanced sideways at Jiang Nian.
In the end, held back from unbuttoning.
Seren.
"Let's play a ga."
"Sure," Jiang Nian was indifferent, took out his phone, looked at the eager Song Xiyun.
"Are you in?"
"Yeah."
The three of them tead up for a ga, Xiao Song was the best. Jiang Nian barely trying, didn't do his best in the ga.
Xu Qianqian was the worst, yelling throughout the match.
Suddenly, Jiang Nian proposed, "Just playing is boring, how about every ti soone dies, take a drink."
"No way!!" Xu Qianqian was anxious, "Aren't you just setting up to keep drinking?"
"Unfair!!"
"Then drink cola?"
"You'll get fat!"
"Then drink whatever you like," Jiang Nian said, "We'll drink whenever we die, is that okay then."
"Okay." Xu Qianqian reluctantly agreed.
Song Xiyun wasn't great at drinking, but she was confident in her skills, didn't even think twice, nodded to agree.
After a while, Xu Qianqian went to the bathroom several tis. Song Xiyun was also a bit drunk, her moves started to falter.
Jiang Nian remained unfazed, drank whenever he died. As for who ssed up the team fight, that was unclear.
Finally, Xu Qianqian couldn't take it anymore.
"Not playing anymore!!!"
"Play any longer and it'll hurt to pee later. Was it you, you jerk, deliberately ssing up the pace!"
"Nope." Jiang Nian looked innocent.
Song Xiyun was also sowhat tipsy, sprawled on the sofa. The TV noise played out faintly.
Her eyes opened slightly, giving Jiang Nian a glance.
Coincidentally, Jiang Nian looked over. At the mont their eyes t, she suddenly shivered.
Quickly turned her face away, curled up on the sofa, scrolling through her phone. Soon overwheld by the alcohol, she fell asleep.
Xu Qianqian erged from the bathroom, saw Xiao Song curled up on the sofa, "She drank too much and fell asleep?"
"Yeah." Jiang Nian glanced that way too, she indeed was asleep, "Should we wake her?"
"Are you crazy!" Xu Qianqian rolled her eyes at him, "She's sleeping well, why wake Xiyun!"
So, Jiang Nian found a blanket and covered her up.
The two of them, fearing their chat in the living room might disturb her, took their beer to the balcony, leaning against the railing, whispering.
The night sky was sprinkled with stars, lazily quiet.
