"Didn’t I go out to the West Gate for lunch this afternoon?"
"And then?"
"On my way back, I stumbled upon an accident scene at the West Gate." Jiang Nian raised an eyebrow, "But fortunately, I kicked the guy once."
Li Hua looked baffled, "You’re too cruel, aren’t you? The guy was already hit by a car, and you still kicked him?"
Jiang Nian couldn’t take it anymore, this idiot couldn’t even say sothing auspicious.
"Bullshit, it was precisely because I kicked him that I saved him, alright?"
"Where’s the person? Did you kick him to death?" Li Hua continued, still sowhat disbelieving, "Actually, I do that kind of thing often in gas too."
"Don’t believe it, huh? Want to bet a week’s worth of drinks?" Jiang Nian asked.
"Okay, I believe you." Li Hua got a bit triggered.
Once bitten by a snake, you fear running into the cashier for ten years.
The drinks he lost aren’t completely paid yet, and just one loss is two hundred yuan. Another loss would be four hundred yuan, what high school student can handle that?
Oddly enough, Li Hua can indeed handle it.
Even if he had to treat the group to drinks for a month, Young Master Li’s pocket money can handle it. He might even have so left over to buy snacks for Jiang Nian.
Zhang Ningzhi didn’t originally intend to join their conversation, but upon hearing Jiang Nian talk about hitting people and car accidents, she couldn’t help but eavesdrop.
Pretending to be nonchalant, her ears perked up.
Has this annoying guy learned to lie?
No, the liar is getting more and more annoying!
But considering the jacket, she didn’t fuss about it.
A friendship thread hangs on a jacket, progressing the relationship and leaving no need for refusals. Each give-and-take becos rightful and straightforward.
Many covered-up details slowly lt away, like snow in the winter thawing bit by bit.
Before her lips could curve upwards, Jiang Nian’s voice ca from beside her. With a storytelling certainty, he recounted the events thoroughly.
".....That driver was really a dumbass, got out of the car swearing imdiately. The mont he opened his mouth, there was a strong sll of alcohol, and I was ready to call the police right away."
"And then?" Li Hua was taken in.
Zhang Ningzhi also stopped her pen, waiting for Jiang Nian to continue. Who talks and leaves a cliffhanger like this, like a storyteller in a martial arts drama.
However, there was no follow-up.
"Sigh, I’ll tell you tomorrow." Jiang Nian waved it off.
"Chi Shi!" Li Hua instantly erupted with anger, grabbing Jiang Nian by the collar, "You bastard, try ending it there!"
The two people in front turned around, all except Fangfang.
Wu Jungu: "What happened next?"
Zeng You went further, "Want to be an eunuch, don’t you?"
Even though the sixth group was at the back of the classroom, the commotion was hard to ignore. The physics teacher on the podium couldn’t help but cough and say.
"To the two rows by the back door, what’s so interesting? Want to stand up and share with everyone?"
"Chat about what." Jiang Nian imdiately played it cool, lying on the desk faking dead, mumbling, "If I really do chat, you won’t be pleased."
Li Hua didn’t feel intimidated, but he didn’t want to challenge the authority of the physics teacher either.
Fortunately, after a few minutes, the physics teacher left the classroom voluntarily.
Jiang Nian ca back to life, brimming with energy, and began his one-man cody act once again.
Logically speaking, this was when Cai Xiaoqing should have stepped in to maintain order. But... she didn’t, that’s what happens when you bribe Cai Xiaoqing.
As for the class monitor, Jiang Nian planned to privately recount it to them later.
The second ti around the emotions won’t be as intense as the first. After school, he’ll have to tell Xu Qianqian, and again online after washing up...
It’s tedious, people with a strong desire to share are always this diligent.
Never thought, showing off could also be such a physical task.
However, the desire to share itself is the aning of making friends, and this matter is indeed very interesting. It makes for good conversation material, consuming each other’s ti.
"...The guy wanted to throw hands, but as soon as I called, he chickened out. In the end, nothing major happened, just settled it with video evidence in private, of course, it wasn’t compensation for ."
"Who got hit? I don’t know, it was too dark to see clearly."
....
Hu Nianzhong gulped, heart pounding. The injured area throbbed painfully, but luckily the scratches weren’t visible.
He hadn’t been able to focus on any words during the whole evening self-study.
Closing his eyes, the blinding xenon headlights imdiately appeared in his mind. Almost like a beast bursting out of the alley, ready to devour anything in its path.
"Where’s the student from, have you had enough, looking for a fake accident?"
"Get out of the way quickly!"
That man’s anger and undisguised disdain lood like an evil ghost. As if born with malice, blatantly looking down on him.
"Bad luck, don’t block the way!"
At the ti, he had one thought: would he be asked to compensate?
In his panic, a voice called out.
"Your mother’s dead, talking like that?"
"Idiot, do you know you hit soone? Driving your crappy car, speaking so rudely, unaware that Zhen Nan wants to rge into a civilized city!"
"What’s the aggression, is your wife having your dad’s kid, what’s it to you?"
Hu Nianzhong was almost scared stiff by Jiang Nian’s words, it was the first ti he’d heard such filthy insults, were locals in this county town all this fierce?
Moreover, he was stunned by the driver’s furious reaction.
As he heard Jiang Nian’s words, the driver turned almost red like a burning piece of charcoal. In the brightly lit alley entrance, he charged straight at Jiang Nian.
"What did you say, I’ll kill you!"
He couldn’t understand why things took such a turn, Jiang Nian’s casual words suddenly dispelled the tense atmosphere.
"Hey, you’ve been drinking, I’ve been recording this whole ti."
The driver imdiately cald down, but no matter what he said, Jiang Nian kept repeating two sentences.
"Call the police."
"We should call the police, let them decide, I trust the law to make a fair judgnt, the compensation amount can be left to the law."
Eventually, the driver offered to settle privately, compensating four thousand yuan.
The complete video and a written agreent.
After everything ended, the two walked on the dimly lit campus road.
"Can we really take this four thousand yuan?"
"Are you eighteen yet?"
"Almost."
"Keep the agreent safe, I’ll send you the video. Also, you’re not getting back the money you threw into that scam platform."
In the brightly lit classroom, Hu Nianzhong opened his eyes.
Even an hour after the event, he still couldn’t believe it all really happened.
It was like a dream; almost hit by a car, then compensated.
What intrigued him more was Jiang Nian’s words, "You’re not getting your money back."
He rembered when he was about to call the police, after unlocking his phone. The first screen was the platform’s app, which he hastily exited.
He was so nervous that he exited three tis before finally getting out, perhaps Jiang Nian noticed during that ti.
Only Lin Dong, Jiang Nian, and he himself knew about the app in the class. Now, with Jiang Nian’s decisive words, he only felt a sense of desolation.
He didn’t think Jiang Nian would lie to him, nor did he think he knew more than Jiang Nian.
So, most likely the money was gone.
But at the sa ti, he got four thousand yuan today. What he gained and lost was about the sa, perhaps plus a few scratches.
No matter whether that money could be withdrawn or not, he never planned to touch that stuff again.
...
During the second evening self-study session, the whole class was comparing answers for the weekly test.
Jiang Nian was a bit sleepy and wanted to take a nap. When he asked Zhang Ningzhi if she could help him check his answers, she hesitated for a second.
"Alright, then I’ll ask soone else."
Zhang Ningzhi was stunned, she hadn’t even thought about it yet.
"Who will you ask?"
"Whoever’s willing to help correct them, maybe there’s a charitable soul in the class." Jiang Nian got up, intending to head straight for Chen Yunyun’s area.
No charitable soul, just people weak like glue rice.
Of course, he wouldn’t make soone work for free. Tomorrow he’d buy drinks and snacks. In doing so, doesn’t the friendship only grow stronger?
"Wait! Co back!" Zhang Ningzhi pulled him back, giving him a glance, "I... did I say I wouldn’t help you correct them?"
"No, you didn’t." Jiang Nian replied obediently.
Whatever, whoever helps is right.
If nothing else works, sell so charm.
Honestly, the seats in the back row are definitely better suited for sleeping.
Jiang Nian slept through most of the evening self-study, the teacher ca around once. He groggily woke up and pretended to work seriously on the questions.
Dawdling all the way until the end of the session, he went out to relieve himself.
On his way back, he ran into Zhou Yuting; neither acknowledged the other, just exchanged a cold glance and brushed past each other.
After the bell rang, inside the classroom.
"Li Hua, I’m so hungry, isn’t Jiang Nian hungry?" Ma Guojun, also seated in the back row, asked like a nagging mother, when he liked to ask each of them individually.
"Not hungry, just having so water makes feel full." Li Hua replied.
"Don’t look at , I’m even less hungry." Jiang Nian shrugged, he usually didn’t eat anything during the third evening self-study.
"Well then, forget it." Ma Guojun continued to dwell in lancholy.
Zhang Ningzhi suddenly thought of sothing, curious, she asked Jiang Nian.
"Why aren’t you studying for the driver’s license anymore?"
Jiang Nian thought for a mont, then found a screenshot of his perfect score. Swiping through each image in front of Zhang Ningzhi, rendering the skeptical Zhizhi speechless.
"Say sothing."
"Tch, what’s there to say." Zhang Ningzhi remained unconvinced.
Jiang Nian: "Heh."
Initially, she didn’t want to acknowledge Jiang Nian, but she couldn’t help but ask.
"Once you have your license, are you thinking of buying a car?"
"Not necessarily, maybe just get one to drive casually." Jiang Nian didn’t mind, "A second-hand one, or maybe just a van."
Jiang Nian wanted to buy a car not for any specific reason, just purely for showing off.
With all possibilities considered, it could co in handy for certain tasks.
And this was just a concept; if after graduating the college entrance exams, the damn system hasn’t rewarded a million, then forget buying a car, just wash up and go to sleep.
Who to sleep with isn’t determined, a random draw on the street.
All in all..... buy a flea market car, keep it for later use.
Spending extravagantly to win a beauty’s smile is undoubtedly delightful, but timing is crucial. Enter at the wrong ti, and it could backfire instead.
"Oh." Zhang Ningzhi didn’t care much.
She thought to herself, she’d also be learning to drive next sumr, if she absolutely needed a car, she could always borrow it from her dad, he didn’t drive much anyway.
Even if she didn’t know how to drive, wasn’t Jiang Nian always there?
