In the afternoon, we’re still going over the test papers.
This is what it’s like in senior year, you take a test one day, and go over it the next.
Hold on a bit, there’s a PE class on Wednesday. We catch a breath with back-to-back English and Chinese classes on Thursday and Friday, and when you look up again, it’s Saturday, thinking about the weekend gives hope.
Occasionally, there are so school events interspersed, like everyone taking chairs to the field for a general eting.
That’s even more aweso.
Not having class during class ti is the best, while not having a holiday during a holiday is absolutely a genuine Sima.
The last small self-study period.
"After school, everyone has to stay back to clean, don’t run off!" Li Hua stood up and patted Zeng You, "Even if you have sothing, it won’t work, cleaning is quick."
Zeng You turned around, a bit speechless.
"Team leader, just go ahead and report my ID number."
"Who told you to run the fastest, I have to guard against that." Li Hua wasn’t embarrassed either, being an old teammate, "If you want to leave early, just clean up, once you finish, you can go."
"No, then I’d rather take out the trash." Zeng You volunteered.
Wu Jungu turned over, glanced at Li Hua.
"I also....."
The two were in the sa dormitory and the sa team, Wu Jungu and Zeng You were getting along better and better.
Together every day, going in and out together.
Maybe.....it was inevitable too.
Wu Jungu switched from being a day-student to a boarder because of Yu Zhiyi, so he was temporarily put in.
Lacking dormitory experience, he needed soone to group up with.
He and Lin Dong had tensions due to Yu Zhiyi, by comparison, Zeng You, who was less interested in girls, was clearly a better choice to group with.
Having settled the two, Li Hua breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as soone took out the trash, in fact, to be exact, as long as they worked, it was fine. It didn’t have to be much, but they couldn’t do nothing.
Jiang Nian didn’t lift his head the entire ti, busy with solving physics problems.
The weekly test had so results, even slight progress is still progress. Even if he was still at the stage of solving problems using formulas, lacking flexible application.
But it didn’t matter, because whether it mattered or not didn’t change anything.
With sciences, it’s just.....you either know it or you don’t.
Jiang Nian calculated for a long ti, then directly put the pen down, deciding to do it tomorrow.
Zhang Ningzhi leaned over for a look, seemingly curious about what he had been fussing over. She stared for a few seconds, made a sound of acknowledgnt, and was about to speak.
"Stop, I know you know how." Jiang Nian stopped her with a gesture, "I don’t want to see this question today, I’ll ask you tomorrow."
Upon hearing, Zhang Ningzhi puffed her cheeks.
"You can’t do this?"
Damn, Jiang Nian almost choked on air.
Zhizhi fairy had fallen into the demonic path, why such a strong attack?
"No, it’s not that I don’t know." He coughed, trying to save face, "I just find this kind of problem disgusting, want to look at it tomorrow."
"Oh." Zhang Ningzhi said.
Jiang Nian felt really defeated, seeing that there was no one around, not counting Li Hua, he reached under the table and pinched Zhang Ningzhi’s thigh.
It felt soft, amazingly elastic.
"You!" Zhang Ningzhi blushed, angered, and punched his arm, "You..."
Li Hua was drawn to their commotion, turned his head for a look.
"What are you doing?"
"Free fighting, want to join?" Jiang Nian waved his fist, ready to give Li Hua a Dragon Ascending Fist, "I’ll hit you first, then you hit back."
"Chi Shi, no way." Li Hua didn’t want to involve himself in their play.
He wasn’t currently interested in girls, mainly because he felt he hadn’t found the right person in senior year, and settling would only waste opportunity costs.
If person A is great, but you’ll et her in a year. Yet you feel tempted and choose to date person B, it would inevitably change your life path.
Li Hua rembered the story about a monkey picking sesa seeds he learned before, but life is not a straight line, there are peaches, waterlons, and sesa seeds to choose from.
Life is countless crossroads, countless choices.
Choosing to date B would take you in a different direction, and you wouldn’t et A. In the end, regardless of what happens with B, it would no longer be the forr path.
You can fall in love countless tis, but you can’t et the right person at the right ti. Because the chance for love is used up, you can only stand on the side and watch.
Why is A so good, yet getting ssed with by xx.
Because when xx encountered B, he didn’t end up well.
This is what Li Hua learned from Jiang Nian’s harsh words, asking if he’d ever been in a relationship. Ask him and he’s a pure boy, no experience in love, yet flirtatious and slick.
He couldn’t be as bold as Jiang Nian, but he was good at summarizing. Jiang Nian hadn’t even dated yet, so why should he be anxious, just enjoy senior year.
After school, the sixth group worked together to clean.
At the back door of the classroom, Jiang Nian randomly mopped a section to kill ti. He had to wait for Zhang Ningzhi and the others to finish sweeping before he could mop, waiting idly and bored.
Chen Yunyun and Wang Yuhe got off their seats, seemingly ready to head back to the dorm together for dinner and to fetch hot water.
The two girls walked out the back door, when Chen Yunyun passed Jiang Nian she smiled and greeted him, while Wang Yuhe intentionally stomped on the ground a few more tis.
Jiang Nian leaned on the mop stick like a crutch and rolled his eyes like a dead fish.
Elentary school kids are really childish.
But it always felt like Chen Yunyun had beco a lot quieter lately, scores jumping up way too fast. They say girls change greatly at eighteen, how co it’s the grades that change?
Alas, each one of them, and he’s the lousiest.
Jiang Nian rembered Li Hua’s phrase "Five hundred points stray dog", and got annoyed.
"It’s all Li Hua’s fault!"
Li Hua, who was mopping sowhere else, heard this and looked up in confusion, imdiately showing him the middle finger.
"Idiot!"
He paid no attention to Li Hua, instead turned to look in another direction.
Zhang Ningzhi was still sweeping, not too slow. Estimating it was almost done, he started mopping from the back to the front, soon catching up to Zhizhi.
"Hello....."
"Not too fast, thanks." Jiang Nian reached out, interrupting her, "I’m just more capable, so I’m more efficient."
Zhang Ningzhi pouted, boys liked to get competitive over weird things, suddenly rembering the main thing, tilted her head slightly asking Jiang Nian.
"So..... do you have ti later?"
The way you’re posing like this, even if I didn’t have ti, I’d have to make ti.
Pretty girls are invincible.
Wait, where’s my ID card, I definitely put it in my pocket before going out.
"Of course, what’s up?" Jiang Nian leaned on the mop stick, a smile involuntarily spreading on his face as if expecting sothing.
"Oh, the package arrived."
Upon hearing this, the expression on his face instantly turned to blandness.
"Alright."
....
After cleaning, the two walked out of the classroom together.
Going downstairs, Jiang Nian turned his head to ask her.
"What to eat?"
The girl imdiately paused, beginning to think about what to eat.
"Spring House?"
"Hold on, young lady, at this rate, I wouldn’t dare go." Jiang Nian nipped the thought of Zhizhi treating him to a fancy dinner in the bud, might be mistaken for a wedding banquet.
Spring House is quite a high-class small restaurant, not too far from school. In Zhen Nan, it’s one of a kind, but the price isn’t friendly, most people can’t afford it.
It’s even more expensive than the steakhouse in the town center, absolutely top of the top.
"Oh, okay." Zhang Ningzhi was a bit upset.
Jiang Nian also understood, Zhang Ningzhi just wanted to treat him to sothing nice. It didn’t an other small eateries wouldn’t do, she wasn’t picky really.
"Let’s have pot soup, it’ll do."
"Sure, up to you." Zhang Ningzhi was unusually obedient after leaving the school gate.
Jiang Nian didn’t particularly care.
When Zhizhi girl punched his arm, she wasn’t like this, probably because stepping out of her comfort zone made her cautious.
Ah? Isn’t this classic tough-at-ho?
Take off so friendship points hard.
It gets dark earlier in winter, when they walked out from the main gate, the street lights on either side were already lit, various neon signs flashing.
Jiang Nian and Zhang Ningzhi walked side by side, drawing a few curious glances along the way.
Actually,
Zhang Ningzhi felt quite nervous inside, putting on a brave face. Secretly adjusting her breathing the whole ti to keep her face from gradually turning red and getting hot.
Many couples strolled past, eting for als like this.
Suddenly, beside her, a male voice spoke up.
"Brother Nian."
Hearing this, Zhang Ningzhi stopped alongside soone, assuming it was Jiang Nian’s friend, looking up, it was from Class Three.....umm.....
She thought and rembered the person’s na.
Hu Nianzhong who took leave.
So, he’s back at school?
Jiang Nian was talking to Hu Nianzhong, his expression neutral without any signs of irritation.
"Just a day off?"
"Yeah, went ho for a look..."
Zhang Ningzhi hid behind Jiang Nian, her face gradually turning red. Like a dab of rouge, spreading from her fair cheeks all the way to her neck.
They actually...ran into a classmate.
Too embarrassing.
Fortunately, Hu Nianzhong noticed Zhang Ningzhi beside him too, and didn’t chat for long. Firmly said thanks a few tis, and see you next ti, then sensibly walked away.
After Hu Nianzhong left, the two continued down the street.
Zhang Ningzhi curiously asked, "Are you... are you two very close?"
"Not really, why ask?" Jiang Nian turned his head, glancing at Zhang Ningzhi.
"Nothing, it just felt like..." Zhang Ningzhi didn’t finish, then smiled, "Nothing, you’re quite popular."
"Hmm, sort of." Jiang Nian paused, glanced at her, "I’ve got good luck too, better than networking."
Zhang Ningzhi t his gaze, blushing again imdiately.
Rouge dyeing again and again, as if the color couldn’t fade.
"Is that true?"
"Yep."
Zhang Ningzhi, against the street’s dim light, tilted her little face, her eyes curving into a crescent moon and said.
"Well, my luck’s pretty good too, just you don’t know about it."
