After evening classes, Jiang Nian made a ntal note.
October 6th, the second day after reconciling with Qianqian.
Qianqian: Why are you acting like such a little girl!
High school students have a lanky fra, with unstyled, undyed hair, full of youthful vitality. Except high school students after evening classes, who finish school at 9:40.
In Zhennan County, even the textile factories don’t work this late.
So high schoolers have been battered by the devil’s schedule, looking lifeless, with acne and oily skin, and greasy hair.
Only a few are still bright and shiny, most of them are day students... good grades, rich families... or they board but have money... well, damn it.
Rich people really don’t have to stress, happiness scores the points for them.
Qianqian has good skin because she really goes to bed early. Old Xu isn’t always ho, switching randomly between the hospital and ho, she’s long been used to it.
Anyways, she eats at school, and checks the situation during holidays.
Old Xu isn’t neglectful, just kind of uses work to drown his sorrows. But with no won at ho, there’s no fuss with cooking.
Plus, with the Jiang Family couple next door helping out, he doesn’t need to worry too much.
The two walked ho, streetlights dim, one on the left, one on the right.
Jiang Nian yawned, "So tired today."
"When aren’t you tired?" Qianqian pouted, then couldn’t help but sternly warn, "You just got promoted to a new class, you still need to work hard, there’s a test at the end of the month."
"I would’ve forgotten if you hadn’t ntioned it, there’s such a thing?" Jiang Nian laughed.
Looking at Xu Qianqian, who was a head shorter under the orange streetlight, he thought darkly, at her height, she probably doesn’t kick off her covers in her sleep.
"Hmph, I can’t be bothered with you!" Qianqian gritted her teeth, turned and left.
"Hey, how co two words make you mad, what’s the rush, your Majesty?" Jiang Nian chased after her, continuing the topic, "I actually had a math problem I wanted to ask you about...."
October 7th, 6:30 in the morning, no rain.
Still wanting to take a leave.
Why do I have to go to school today when I already went yesterday?
He heard there’s a class genius, with grades comparable to Xu Qianqian’s. Sleeps at 10:20 every day, gets up at 5:30, and practices for an extra hour before leaving the house.
Does it religiously, for two months already. While Jiang Nian is sleeping, that person is working hard, while Jiang Nian is working hard..... that person is already godly.
Brushing his teeth, facing the mirror, Jiang Nian said seriously.
"I can’t let myself fall like this anymore! Youth is for striving, not wasting! Tired? Who isn’t tired, just study till you drop!"
...
"Brother Nian, stop sleeping, get up, class is about to start." Li Hua nudged Jiang Nian, who was sprawled on the desk.
Jiang Nian sat up like a zombie, eyes seemingly glued shut. He sat with his head drooping for a good while before asking a classic question.
"What period is it?"
"Third period already, you slept through the first two English classes, I was really scared you’d die next to ."
Hearing that, Jiang Nian was dumbfounded, two classes flew by in a daze.
"Why didn’t Qianbao call on ?"
"Who knows, Qianbao looked at you once then continued lecturing." Li Hua sighed, "Maybe she thought even if you woke up you’d still do math, better not call on you."
What a bitter truth?
Turns out Qianbao can’t stand to see progress.
After a bit of low conversation, Li Hua had a strange expression.
"You an to say, for studying, you’ve been anxious night after night, spending a lot of energy. And you’re already moderately anxious, even severely bipolar?"
"Yes."
"Then last night, what ti did you finish your howork after going ho?"
Jiang Nian’s expression was slightly strained, "Ten o’clock."
Li Hua froze for two seconds, and imdiately hit him with a Big Prison Wilderness Finger.
"School ended at 9:40, so you didn’t write a single second, did you!"
While attending math class, Jiang Nian, who rested for two English classes, was earnestly imrsed in it. Senior year is tough, so it’s normal to manage your energy wisely.
Ding! The system panel popped up.
Not now, in class!
Jiang Nian reluctantly glanced at the virtual system task panel.
[Age 38, fitness training you’ve achieved initial success. Lost three kilograms, maintaining mindset, properly rewarding yourself is also key to a coback.
Task: Indulgent spending (only using remaining currency from this system reward), reward: Triple return.]
After viewing it, Jiang Nian casually closed it.
Blocking my math problems.
Looking up, huh? Where are we?
Just now, he was listening intently, frequently interacting with the math teacher, why....
He glanced at his deskmate Li Hua, a blank sheet of scrap paper, seed to have understood everything. He noted sothing on the previous question, planning to ask Li Hua after class.
He didn’t dare ask the math teacher, as the middle-aged math teacher was very impatient with students who were average in math.
Unless Jiang Nian had over one hundred twenty in math, the math teacher would only glance at him. Then question what crazy stunts he was doing during class and why he wasn’t listening instead of asking after class!
Lecturing him while grumbling, the feeling was suffocating to say the least.
Compared to that, science whiz Li Hua seed much more dependable. Wherever he didn’t understand, he’d ask Li Hua directly.
With him around, improving math scores steadily wasn’t an issue. Even if there’s no substantial progress, at least there’s a small step up.
As soon as class ended, Li Hua bolted.
Jiang Nian’s sharp eyes and quick hands grabbed him, "Got a question, don’t leave."
"I’ll co back this afternoon, urgent business!"
"Bladder about to burst? No worries, I’ll bring the trash bin over for you later." Jiang Nian eagerly said, "At worst, we’ll go to the restroom together, deal?"
"No, bro, PE class!" Li Hua was almost airborne, struggling to break free, "Not talking to you now, the basketball court slots are nearly gone."
At the door, Ma Guojun called out.
"Li Hua, hurry up, sneaking to guard the fort?"
"Coming!"
Jiang Nian watched the two leave, deep in thought.
Bam bam bam!!! After free activity during PE class.
Jiang Nian smoothly changed direction ahead of ti, tricked past Li Hua, scored off the backboard. Then he returned to Li Hua, loudly saying.
"Do you like PE class, huh? Baby! Talk!"
Li Hua looked miserable, "Bro, I’m just a goblin, focus on others, stop shaking up!"
"You tell the solution to the third sub-question of the classwork, I’ll go back to the classroom now." Jiang Nian said, "Otherwise, I’ll keep hassling you until school is out."
"Alright alright, I yield." Li Hua left the basketball court, picked up a white stone nearby, and wrote the problem out on a cent surface.
After five minutes, Jiang Nian was enlightened.
"Ah, I see, you can go play ball now."
Li Hua was curious, "You’re really going to do howork, huh, co play with us?"
"Nope, there’s a girl upstairs." Jiang Nian waved and walked away.
