The three of them finished drinking water and leisurely wandered back to the classroom.
As they walked in, they saw Lin Dong handing out test papers, with the math teacher wandering around the classroom with his hands behind his back. The three imdiately quickened their steps like quails and returned to their seats.
As Jiang Nian sat down, Zhang Ningzhi quietly reminded him.
"There’s a test in the second and third periods of the night study."
"Okay." Jiang Nian grabbed his pen and lowered his head to start looking at the questions.
Suddenly, Ji Jiayu’s voice ca from the middle of the classroom.
"Lin Dong, there’s no answer sheet left."
After saying that, she didn’t hold much hope. Usually, the math class representative would just ask how many were missing, and would complete the task at hand before returning to check.
Even if Lin Dong had one extra sheet, he wouldn’t specially co over to give it to just one person. After all, making an unnecessary trip would an additional work for him.
But against all odds, Lin Dong went over and handed her a spare answer sheet.
"Here."
The person behind Ji Jiayu didn’t receive one, so they looked up and asked.
"What about ours?"
"Hold up, just focus on the test paper for now." Lin Dong nonchalantly replied, his attitude contrasting sharply, "If you’re missing so, raise your hand. If you don’t, don’t bla later."
Ji Jiayu lowered her head and wrote her na on the answer sheet, smirking a bit.
She couldn’t usually tell, but Lin Dong was quite considerate.
Not far away, Yuan Zhengchuan was coldly staring at his girlfriend. He didn’t feel anything when Lin Dong went over to give Ji Jiayu the only extra answer sheet.
Instead, it was Ji Jiayu’s smile looking down that deeply provoked him.
Laugh, and the whole world laughs at you! Laugh!
Yuan Zhengchuan started doubting himself. Was he being too paranoid? Lin Dong just counted the answer sheets and left, nothing could be more normal.
But... he always felt like Ji Jiayu might secretly be in contact with Lin Dong, could it be?
Uneasy through two evening study periods, Yuan Zhengchuan was absent-minded while doing the test paper. Only when it was nearly ti for dismissal, as Lin Dong stood up to collect the answer sheets, did he snap out of it.
Yuan Zhengchuan scrutinized his paper; two major questions were left unanswered!
Oh no!
"Yang Qiming, let copy!"
Yang Qiming was also annoyed by issues with his girlfriend from another class, but thankfully, his girlfriend blocked him. No response from that side didn’t affect his test writing.
After a math quiz, he was calm and even perford exceptionally well.
"Here, copy away!"
Yang Qiming waved his hand generously, feeling lucky in brotherhood despite bad luck in love, he was now focused on his bros.
He wanted the "ex-girlfriend (half-broken-up)" to see how well he was living without her. Surrounded by bros, beauties like clouds, grades soaring.
Making her regret, begging for him to get back together!
The sun may set, but who will you be when it rises again!
Yang Qiming had been watching a lot of emotional and satisfying videos on Douyin lately. Those are edited scenes in gas, paired with AI voice or WeChat chat videos.
The more he watched, the more pumped he felt, wanting to substitute in. To imdiately go and date a legitimate young girl under 1.6 ters, holding hands until they were clammy!
In front of the ex-girlfriend, make her twist and crawl in jealousy.
Although the progress bar was at zero, just thinking about it felt great.
The only downside was that... his good brother Lin Dong moved away, and the reason was just a dream of his grandma.
How absurd, still so caught up in filial piety as a high school student.
Yuan Zhengchuan, busy copying the test paper, muddled through answering the two major questions. For the third question, he copied a bit randomly, only jotting down the main steps without writing the answers.
Handing it in right at the deadline, he breathed a sigh of relief, returned to his seat, and thanked Yang Qiming.
"Thanks, Cousin Qiming."
’Cousin’ in Southern Hakka dialect ans like a brother. Lin Dong called Yang Qiming that way first, and others followed suit over ti.
"No need, we’re brothers." Yang Qiming waved his hand, aning no need for thanks.
Lin Dong watched from afar and didn’t stop them.
....
Xu Qianqian walked ho with her backpack, turned to Jiang Nian, and said seriously.
"Yesterday, I dreamt you turned into a dog."
"You should zip it, Xu Qianqian." Jiang Nian reached out to pinch her mouth, but she easily dodged, "If I’m a dog, then you’re a dog too."
"No, I’m your owner." Xu Qianqian tightened her grip on her backpack, quickened her pace, creating so distance before turning back, "I dreamt we were wandering the streets, and I was leading you."
"Chi Shi, Chi Shi, Chi Shi!" Jiang Nian used his counter-skill, [Special for Li Hua].
Not that he couldn’t argue back, he just didn’t want to take it too seriously. Xu Qianqian liked having the upper hand, and if she was losing, she’d give up and stay quiet.
What fun would walking ho in silence be?
Better let her have the upper hand in words now, collect double with interest later.
"...Why do you keep having these odd dreams every day?"
"I don’t know." Xu Qianqian shook her head, "Maybe it’s what I think about during the day affecting my dreams at night."
After saying that, she was ready to dodge again.
Jiang Nian didn’t react much, just gave her a sidelong glance. His eyelids were thin, naturally giving a hint of sarcasm when he looked at people.
"Do you not think that being a dog is an insult?"
"Wh... what do you an?" Xu Qianqian was stunned, maybe she had overestimated his boundaries.
"I’d choose to lick you all over from head to toe," Jiang Nian said calmly, in an abstract way, "What’s the difference from licking an ice cream?"
As Xu Qianqian heard that, her body stiffened, and certain mories suddenly surfaced.
To be precise, it was on a rainy day. Before a jerk spread rumors, she covered his mouth with her hand. She ended up getting the palm licked, making all her hairs stand on end.
"Jiang Nian! You’re so gross."
"So what, is this your first ti knowing ?"
After their daily verbal sparring, Xu Qianqian suddenly asked as they walked on the street.
"Are you ready for the big exam?"
"Got my cheat sheet ready."
"Seriously, I’m not joking with you." Xu Qianqian was earnest, speaking with a sincere tone, "You still have hope, don’t give up, Mom loves you."
"I don’t know if I can score over 600." Jiang Nian scratched his neck, "Lately, there’s a couple in the class who always ss around during the second half of the lunch break."
Just like Jiang Nian, Xu Qianqian also ate in the cafeteria and rested in the classroom at noon. Just hearing him talk about this, she was fully imrsed in the situation.
"So inconsiderate, no one says anything to them?!"
Jiang Nian shook his head, "Nope."
Hearing this, Xu Qianqian frowned.
"Your class is weird, doesn’t seem to have any backbone in the science class."
Jiang Nian felt a bit awkward, vaguely replying.
"More or less, the class atmosphere isn’t great, but I’ve found a solution."
Xu Qianqian glanced at him, "Don’t get into a fight with them."
Hearing this, Jiang Nian couldn’t help but laugh.
"Didn’t you just say our class doesn’t have any backbone? Why are you changing your tune now?"
"...That’s different." Xu Qianqian didn’t want to argue, slowly nodding, "I may be a bit hypocritical, but don’t go around picking fights."
"If you win, you go to jail, if you lose, you end up in the hospital."
Jiang Nian hesitated, "I don’t fight much, it’s not good for your health."
Xu Qianqian: "????"
...
Lin Dong woke up, brushed his teeth while checking his phone in the new dormitory.
He initially intended to gossip with Jiang Nian about Ji Jiayu’s matter last night, as watching Yuan Zhengchuan’s sly face was indescribably satisfying.
This kind of conversation he would only dare to share with Jiang Nian.
By the way, he wanted to ask how Yuan Zhengchuan had offended Jiang Nian. Would this matter carry on for long? But then again, it wasn’t as if it posed any burden, just sothing to do casually.
She’s not my girlfriend, haha.
However, Jiang Nian sent him a math question last night, which tornted Lin Dong for over an hour. He couldn’t find the question on any test papers.
In the morning, byd sent him a ssage.
Jiang Nian: "Got the answer."
Chi Shi! Lin Dong was about to explode, at least share the process!
Then he thought of sothing and asked.
"Brother Nian, are we continuing with this?"
Three seconds later, Jiang Nian replied.
"(Confused) Continue what?"
Lin Dong was puzzled, just typing out Ji Jiayu’s na. Suddenly realizing sothing, he deleted all that he had typed.
"Continuing to help classmates?"
Half a minute later, Jiang Nian replied.
"Moved by your spirit, let buy you breakfast, what kind of bun do you want?"
Lin Dong laughed right as he was brushing his teeth in the dorm, wiping the water stains off his screen.
"Don’t be humble, it’s what I should do as the class representative. I’ll have two braised at, two three-fresh, two vegetable buns, plus a cup of soy milk, thanks."
Putting down his phone, his new roommate Zeng You ca over, rubbing his eyes.
"Lin Dong, what were you laughing about?"
"I wasn’t, did I laugh?"
"Yes, for quite a while." Loyal and sowhat introverted Luo Zhongping walked over, he enjoyed Lin Dong’s personality.
Thinking of Jiang’s antics, Lin Dong mimicked, slapping Luo Zhongping’s shoulder, speaking seriously.
"My laugh might be long, but New China’s path is longer."
Wu Jungu just got up, as a commuter who beca a boarding student, he was still not quite used to living in a shared dorm. He could barely endure as winter hadn’t set in yet.
Walking to the center of the dorm, hearing Lin Dong’s remark, he was taken aback.
The rest of the dorm wasn’t much better off, they stared dumbfoundedly at Lin Dong.
What, early in the morning...?
And you’re stepping up?
Before morning study, Ji Jiayu was filling her bottle and happened to run into Sun Zhicheng.
"Need a water card?" he inquired.
Ji Jiayu felt a warmth at his consideration but also a dash of complaint.
What’s going on with her boyfriend, suddenly getting jealous over nothing? Good thing he’s not here, otherwise, things would be awkward.
"No need, thank you, I’ve borrowed soone else’s water card." She felt guilty and sohow didn’t ntion her boyfriend’s na.
Yuan Zhengchuan, leaning near the backdoor of the classroom, heard it clearly. He took a deep breath, shook his head, choosing not to confront the scene.
Six minutes later.
In the morning, Jiang Nian had brought Lin Dong so buns and headed back after dropping them off.
He happened to catch Ji Jiayu looking for sothing and accidentally brushing her hand against a bottle. Apparently, Ji Jiayu also noticed it from the corner of her eye.
"Ah!"
She yelped, but the falling bottle was caught steadily by a hand.
Jiang Nian gently placed the bottle back on her desk, giving her a look.
"Just place it a bit further next ti."
Ji Jiayu watched Jiang Nian’s long, powerful hand gripping the thermos bottle, feeling weirdly insecure, and instinctively diverted her gaze.
"Okay."
The legitimate boyfriend, Yuan Zhengchuan, entered from the front door of the classroom, glanced over, and returned to his seat.
