She was born not to admit defeat and bit her lower lip.
"I’ll work hard, the monthly exam is coming soon."
Jiang Nian didn’t respond, just focused on eating.
After a while, he finished eating, and then turned to look at Lin Yuxi, who was slowly eating her food.
"You got first in the class, do you already have a self-study plan?"
"Huh?" Lin Yuxi was stunned, but didn’t want to admit it, "No... no, I’ve always been following the teacher’s schedule seriously."
Jiang Nian’s lips curved slightly; he spoke slowly and unhurriedly.
"Haha, you definitely also bought online courses, thinking that if you have extra ti, you might as well preview the second-year courses, so you simply bought the full set for the second year."
Lin Yuxi froze; he hit the nail on the head.
She had bought a lot of courses online and even found so singing tutorial videos.
Planning to self-study to get a foundation first, then buy advanced courses.
Moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and labor education, a comprehensive bloom.
Even stationery and pen refills were carefully selected, with a new spirit, new identity, and a new look.
easily achieved, Qingbei is no problem, guaranteed admission, the future looks promising.
By the way, shine at the art evening party, becoming the campus queen with one song.
Ideally, find a good-looking senior and start a sweet romance.
She panicked a bit; this talkative senior was like a prying ghost.
Quickly stripping her little secrets clean, wouldn’t he know she even wants to date...
"How do you know?"
"It’s normal, I did the sa in my first year of high school." Jiang Nian began to make things up, "But I stuck with it and achieved my goals."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuxi instantly fell into deep self-doubt.
"So strong, senior."
"It’s okay, I believe you can do it too." Jiang Nian stood up and lightly patted her shoulder, "Anyway, keep it up."
He backed up seven or eight steps, directly exiting the cafeteria.
After a while, Lin Yuxi walked out of the cafeteria.
The sunlight fell on her, but it felt devoid of warmth.
She only got a little useful information from the senior, in the end, it was still a failure.
Couldn’t understand why there is such academic discrimination!
Too hard to bear.
Maybe it’s better to give up?
She headed toward the C building of the first-year teaching block, returning to the classroom and just sat down.
Two boys entered the classroom from outside, looking rather ordinary.
Of course, not ugly, just a bit naive, loudly chatting since they entered.
"Three years in middle school, three years in high school. Sigh, I always feel even the most beautiful high school girls can’t match the girls in our middle school who were just like buddies."
"Yeah, after all, we fought and went crazy together for three years."
"High school life might be great, but it can’t compare to middle school."
Lin Yuxi sat silently, suddenly feeling that getting a score of 840 wasn’t that hard.
Might as well work the exams to death, since there’s no favorite in the class.
....
At lunchti, Jiang Nian was just about to lie down.
Chen Yunyun tiptoed in from the front door of the classroom and sat at Wu Jungu’s seat.
She tapped Jiang Nian’s arm with her finger, mysteriously saying.
"Want to eat sothing good?"
Jiang Nian propped his chin up with his hand, rubbing slightly, his gaze inadvertently lowering.
"Hmm....."
Seeing this, Chen Yunyun rolled her eyes.
"What are you thinking?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian hesitated for a mont, then asked hesitantly.
"Can I say this?"
Chen Yunyun: "...."
The longer she spent with Jiang Nian, the more she discovered he was quite simple.
20% gluttony, 60% pure awkwardness, 20% mischievous.
"Tomorrow my parents’ friend’s son is getting married, they gave the gift money but are too lazy to go. Asked if I want to go, it’s at the Chuyun Hotel on Zhennan Street."
Chen Yunyun pursed her lips, extending the invitation.
"You want to go?"
"A wedding banquet?" Jiang Nian was a bit confused, not knowing them and still going to eat, "Wait, your parents’ friend’s wedding banquet, they don’t go, and you don’t go either."
"I’m going, with Yuhe." Chen Yunyun explained, "Yuhe’s family also gave the gift money, her parents don’t want to go either, so..."
In a small town, business people have incredibly wide social networks.
Even if you don’t know soone, you can get to know them through introductions and a al.
"Free eating doesn’t seem very good, right?" Jiang Nian hesitated.
"It’s okay, the three of us will sit at one table." Chen Yunyun explained softly, "My mom told many of the groom’s and bride’s friends can’t sit at the sa table."
"We just need to slip in quietly, no one will toast us."
Jiang Nian understood and found it hard to resist.
Dating in a small town is like a revolving hot pot.
et a new girlfriend, ask around, turns out she’s a cousin’s ex or a colleague of a past partner.
So, the taste of your girlfriend, x and I both know.
A well-matched couple breaks up, running into each other at the community gate later.
Asking reveals, what, you also bought an apartnt in this community?
Resources in small towns are too concentrated, people who stay are mostly supported by family, work-related contacts, or friendships, making it hard to relocate.
Thus, finding a partner based on social status may likely end up overlapping with friends within the circle.
The wedding banquet Chen Yunyun ntioned is just such a typical middle-class small-town family.
They have so money, many friends, and widespread connections; they know many people.
"Alright, I’m going, I can’t resist a free al," Jiang Nian agreed readily.
"Okay, I’ll find you tomorrow at noon." Chen Yunyun left her seat, silently returning to her place.
Once she sat down, Wang Yuhe turned her head to ask.
"Did he agree?"
"Yes." Chen Yunyun nodded, showing no emotion on her face, but her heart pounding, and her hands felt a bit weak, "Tomorrow noon after school, we’ll walk there together."
Wang Yuhe was shy, too afraid to go to the wedding banquet alone.
Even going with company, she was still a bit nervous until Chen Yunyun suggested bringing Jiang Nian.
Thinking it over, she imdiately agreed.
After all, they had given money, both families had sent more than the cost of the al multiple tis over as gifts.
With so many people present, bringing one more doesn’t matter, and if asked, say he’s a brother.
After reaching a consensus, it was Chen Yunyun, who had a closer relationship with Jiang Nian, who went to ask him.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly.
Wang Yuhe was the typical elentary school student, with emotions written all over her face.
Thinking of the chance to go without social anxiety to eat at the banquet tomorrow, she beca instantly happy.
If there’s anything, find Jiang Nian and Chen Yunyun, while she transforms into the fiercest eating machine.
Eat, eat, eat, in circles.
Once Chen Yunyun cald down, she opened her howork and began to write.
Yet, she couldn’t fully concentrate, thinking about what clothes and shoes to pair for tomorrow.
After lunch break.
Li Hua slid into the classroom, followed by a fat guy.
"It’s Thursday, can’t Sunday be far away?"
Jiang Nian had just woken up not long ago, got up to make room for Zhang Ningzhi.
Zhizhi looked great today as always, wearing a long coat, shoes... unknown brand.
"Did you sleep well at noon?" he asked humbly.
Zhizhi glanced at him, coolly speaking.
"Not bad, here’s a reward."
Saying that, Zhang Ningzhi took a small snack from her small bag and handed it to Jiang Nian.
"For you."
"Yay! Got it!" Jiang Nian happily accepted the freebie.
After all, Zhang Ningzhi didn’t lack such things, taking it gave him an excuse to return the favor next ti.
This back and forth deepened relationships, good deskmate daily interactions.
What, there’s another deskmate?
Who?
In the afternoon, there was a language class.
Lao Liu still taught for ten minutes, did exercises for ten minutes, explained exercises for ten minutes, chatted for ten minutes, and spent the last five minutes talking about class affairs.
"Uh, upon leadership’s request, every class needs to have an additional position of Psychological Commissioner, responsible for daily liaison and distribution of the grade group’s psychological weekly newsletter."
Especially since Zhenan Middle School’s senior classrooms are not equipped with protective nets, the hardworking senior grade parents feared students might jump impulsively, thus creating this position.
"Ah, this school also has a dedicated psychological counseling room, very large, very large. It’s located in room 205 of building D, comprising two connected classrooms for a psychological space."
Lao Liu paced around the class, his voice clear and bright.
"If students feel uncomfortable or can’t unload emotions, and it’s inconvenient to speak with teachers, classmates, or the Psychological Commissioner, they can visit the psychological counseling room."
"The psychologist will absolutely keep confidentiality, yeah, this counseling room remains open after school, with counselors taking turns on duty, all professionals."
"In summary, nothing is insurmountable. When facing difficulties, there are always ways to solve them, and if the kid is born, everyone can think of solutions together."
At these words, the previously silent classroom erupted in uproarious laughter.
Everyone was caught off guard by Lao Liu’s abrupt shift, the laughter lasting several minutes.
"Teacher, can you count the kid as yours?"
"Teacher, can the child take your surna?"
"Fat Baby, are you pregnant?"
"Screw you."
Amid the giggles, the class bell rang.
Lao Liu, leading by example, strived for senior students’ ntal health, setting a good precedent for the election of the Psychological Commissioner’s position.
"Quiet! Uh, quiet down now."
"Students interested in running for Psychological Commissioner, please prepare, speak on stage during the first language night self-study to deliver campaign speeches."
With that, Lao Liu left.
The class remained noisy; indeed, Lao Liu’s cold joke was refreshing.
Li Hua turned to Jiang Nian, speaking firmly.
"Nian, I want to run for Psychological Commissioner."
"Okay, run for it." Jiang Nian was unfazed, as he was doing science questions in language class, "Incidentally, I have so psychological issues I’d like to consult you about."
"Go ahead, let practice." Li Hua was full of confidence.
Zhang Ningzhi had intended to nap during the break, but hearing Jiang Nian ntion having psychological issues, she couldn’t help her curiosity and listened in while partially lying on the desk.
After a mont, Jiang Nian spoke.
"Physically, I am male, but I think I’m a female inside. But I like won, so I’m aluminum copper; I also have a transvestite fetish and prefer wearing so n’s clothing."
Upon hearing this, Li Hua paused, pondered for a mont, and then replied.
"Doesn’t that an you’re just a guy?"
Jiang Nian then asked, "Hua, if you get elected as the Psychological Commissioner, can you work on so other girls to beco my girlfriend?"
Li Hua: "You’ve mistaken for a Magic Conch, now you’re making wishes."
