Seeing the argunt over there was done, the security ca over to disperse people.
Lin Dong retreated decisively, just as Jiang Nian and the others were there. So they lent a hand, carrying the boxes across the dark basketball court.
"Why is it so heavy?" Li Hua was exhausted.
In the darkness, it was hard to see. When they reached a well-lit area, he turned his head and saw that damn Jiang Nian and Ma Guojun hadn’t exerted any effort at all.
The two were just lazily holding onto the edges of the box filled with apples, slacking off the whole ti.
"Bastards!" Li Hua couldn’t stand the two slackers; his neck was red, "Are you two even human!"
Jiang Nian glanced at him, dissatisfied.
"Lin Dong has no complaints, you’re a bit too chatty."
"No shit, what can he say?" Li Hua was furious, "It’s your dad here doing all the lifting, no wonder it’s so heavy!"
"Geez, is it necessary to rest for seven or eight minutes?" Ma Guojun shook his head, "Alright, alright, let’s carry it, Jiang Nian and ."
Li Hua looked at the long way back, then at the near door.
"Bastards!"
Besides a few guys, Li Qingrong also ca along. She was silent all the way, seemingly just curious, coming to have a look.
Lin Dong said, "It’s just ahead, a half-open courtyard."
Jiang Nian glanced over; the courtyard looked familiar. Coincidentally, Lin Dong’s storage place was next to where he rented.
At that mont, the door of the first-floor storeroom was closed.
There were a pink and a blue hair towel hanging at the door, along with so other items like hair-drying towels, not obvious in the dark.
Jiang Nian had hardly been there, only visited once after digging for gold last ti. Rushing to class, he just left the tools and went.
Now that he looked, it felt quite odd.
The girl didn’t belong to him, yet had countless ties with him. The vague feeling was addictive.
Tsk.
In simple words, a pervert.
After opening the door.
With a click, the room lit up.
The first-floor storeroom was empty, the layout similar to next door. It’s okay for storing goods, but once there’s water, it gets very damp.
So, it’s not suitable for living.
After putting down the goods, Ma Guojun clapped his hands, looked around, and asked.
"Are there people living around here?"
"Yeah, there are seniors and returning students too." Lin Dong replied, "Let’s go, class is starting soon, give a bag."
The room was too small, so everyone moved out.
Li Hua had just stepped out and saw Jiang Nian chatting with the class monitor in the courtyard. He almost couldn’t catch his breath, murmuring under his breath.
"Damn it... he takes all the good things."
After a while, Lin Dong ca out and locked the door. He was holding a bag with the apples Jiang Nian ordered.
Jiang Nian took it and glanced again at Li Qingrong.
"Uh... it wasn’t who bought it."
"Yeah, I know." Li Qingrong lowered her eyes.
Know?
She must have heard it around noon, but that was good, saving him an explanation since he already said no apple gifts.
Walking on the way back to the classroom, Li Hua took the chance to pull Jiang Nian aside.
"You bastard!"
"Hmm?" Jiang Nian reclined tactically, "Who are you to curse ? I’m the governor of Class Three, with the Nine Bestownts, I enter the hall with sword and shoes..."
"Cut the crap, tell the truth." Li Hua yanked him, "When did you get involved with the class monitor again, you know what?"
"What do you an ’you know what’?"
"Stop pretending!"
"Pretending about what?"
"Bastards!" Li Hua saw Jiang Nian playing dumb, so he pushed him away, "How about I give you two hundred, and you break up with the class monitor, deal?"
Jiang Nian laughed heartily, his mouth curving like a Nike swoosh.
"Guess."
Usually, when he joked around with Zhang Ningzhi, he wasn’t too blatant.
The class monitor didn’t seem to mind either.
She wasn’t soone who bottled things up, so Jiang Nian felt quite at ease, teasing one and another.
After all, they were all good friends.
Actually, he understood that the reason he could maintain this status was mostly due to the high-pressure environnt of the college entrance exams.
Once he leaves the senior year classroom environnt, he’ll have to keep himself hidden.
....
Ten minutes after the evening self-study.
Yu Zhiyi passed through the narrow aisle and was suddenly tripped by sothing soft on her foot, making her look down.
"What is it?"
"Hmm?" Tao Ran poked his head out, then had a sudden realization look, "Oh, sorry, it fell."
Saying that, he stuffed the mummy-like thing back.
This was Jiang Nian’s promise; as long as he won, he’d get him a kemonomimi doll. It was nonsense back then, filled in later.
Only thing to say, Tao Ran was quite a character.
"This... what is this?" Yu Zhiyi’s face turned pale, "Class rep, you’re just too... too perverted, aren’t you?"
"What else could it be?" Tao Ran glanced at her, unfazed, "What, can’t a guy buy big plush toys?"
"I..." Yu Zhiyi was speechless.
She left the classroom and saw a group of boys catching the breeze in the hallway. Jiang Nian was in the center, chatting idly.
Yu Zhiyi walked over and patted Jiang Nian on the shoulder.
"Hey."
Li Hua heard the voice, turning his head faster than Jiang Nian. Seeing Jiang Nian pretending not to hear, he simply shook Jiang Nian’s shoulder.
"Calling you!"
"What for?" Jiang Nian was speechless directly, reluctantly turned his head, and gave Yu Zhiyi a sidelong glance, "You need sothing?"
"What’s that attitude?"
"It’s a dad’s attitude."
"You..." Yu Zhiyi was so angry she turned and left.
Li Hua sighed imdiately, feeling quite regretful. But thinking of Jiang Nian’s typical deanor, he just continued chatting.
"Do you guys think Lin Dong’s apples can sell?"
"Don’t know, unlikely."
"The school doesn’t forbid sending apples, so it should be fine tomorrow." Jiang Nian analyzed, "Gotta send so to the teachers, right?"
"Exactly, we did the sa last year." Ma Guojun nodded.
"What about Liu Yang?" Jiang Nian turned his head.
"I sent so to other classes, about twenty or more." Liu Yang smiled, "Lots of friends, lots of girls, can’t help it."
"You scumbag!" Li Hua scolded, sourly asking, "Damn, how many girls have you hooked up with?"
Liu Yang, being tall and strong, loved wearing sporty trend brands, was in a league higher than the regular sports students online.
"Just a few good friends."
Once he said that, Li Hua got even more sour, directly pouncing on him.
"Damn you!"
At this mont, Zhao Hao, the English class representative, suddenly spoke.
"Why doesn’t Brother Yang find soone in the class?"
Liu Yang heard it and was speechless. He thought, isn’t that nonsense? It’s not that I’m not looking, it’s just that there’s nothing worth looking for.
Soone has many top ten students around him.
Aside from these girls, the rest are either difficult to pick or choose. Should I look for Cai Xiang? Or that Aluminum copper Nie Qiqi?
Zhou Yuting and Yu Zhiyi are hard to deal with, the remaining girls are either plain or are just honest, neither excelling in looks.
Little Lark is okay, but it’s more comfortable to find soone outside the class.
He certainly couldn’t tell the truth, so he pondered for a while and said.
"I don’t eat the grass next to the nest."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian raised an eyebrow.
Are you hinting at ?
There’s grass next to the nest, why run wildly around the hills like a dog?
.....
Approaching the end of the evening self-study session.
Jiang Nian watched Zhang Ningzhi solve the problem, nodding after watching for a while. It seed like he was discussing the issue, but actually, he had zoned out.
Zhizhi slls so good.
What kind of laundry detergent does she use to sll so fragrant?
"Do you understand?" Zhang Ningzhi asked.
"Hmm..." Jiang Nian snapped back to reality, his gaze fixed on the second derivative, he followed along for a while and pointed with his finger.
"I can’t get this part, I’m stuck."
"Oh, let take a look." Zhang Ningzhi leaned closer to check it, almost dying of frustration, wasn’t this just what she had quietly explained before?
She puffed up in annoyance, glared at Jiang Nian. Seeming to complain, she rolled her eyes and turned back, speaking quietly.
"You need to listen carefully."
"Mmm mmm." Jiang Nian always has an acceptable attitude when admitting fault, whether he changes or not depends on his mood, "Just explain, I’ll listen."
Zhang Ningzhi gave him another eye-roll, then started diligently explaining the problem.
"First, find the derivative..."
In senior year, ti is tight, so people are unwilling to explain problems, but explaining big problems isn’t without benefits.
The truth becos clearer through debating, explaining a problem clearly shows complete mastery.
After evening self-study is dismissed.
Jiang Nian greeted and left, heading ho with a small group.
Having one more person was quite nice.
When he went down to the third floor, he found only Xu Qianqian there. He was montarily confused, wondering why Song Xiyun wasn’t there.
But he didn’t ask directly, pretending not to notice.
"Let’s go."
"Why don’t you ask where Xiyun went?" Xu Qianqian looked at him.
"Oh, right..." Jiang Nian acted surprised, "I was just thinking about the problem and didn’t notice, why didn’t she co?"
The stairway was crowded, Xu Qianqian didn’t have the chance to speak until they ca down from the senior floor, rging with the crowd.
"Aunt Zhao is leaving the day after tomorrow, so Xiyun is staying ho these two days."
"Oh, I see." Jiang Nian nodded, he was also hopeful that Zhao Qiuxue could open up opportunities and bring back so good news.
Even though the internet is developed now, there’s still an information gap in certain industries.
Hope this path is viable, after all, it’s Xu Qianqian’s opportunity. One or two years earlier should be smoother.
It’s not snatching the opportunity, but accelerating it.
If Jiang Nian starts making money freshman year, he’d definitely involve Xu Qianqian too, everyone doing sothing together.
Just right, Xu Qianqian is also capable, as they say, united brothers fight the tiger...
Whoever likes to go into the advertising company can, you can’t make money or stand out there.
Should I sleep with the boss or sothing?
The two strolled ho together, Xu Qianqian wanting to speak but holding back, she really wanted to ask Jiang Nian about tomorrow’s gift.
But she didn’t want to open her mouth first, struggling all the way.
Sigh!
Ca to the bottom of the building, before entering the corridor.
Jiang Nian seemingly finally realized sothing, turned his head to look at her.
"You...."
Xu Qianqian blinked, waiting for him to speak.
However, a hand was placed on her forehead.
"Eh?" She had a bewildered look.
"Are you having a fever? You’ve been silent all the way." Jiang Nian stepped forward, the distance between them quickly shortened.
"No.....no way!!" Xu Qianqian hastily retreated, her face imdiately turned red, "I’m just curious.....about what you’re giving tomorrow....."
"Oh, gifts?" Jiang Nian suddenly understood.
Xu Qianqian pursed her lips, waiting for him to answer. Yet after waiting a while, she saw he had no intention to speak.
"Hmm?"
"If you didn’t ntion it, I almost forgot."
Upon hearing this, Xu Qianqian snorted, stomped upstairs.
"Whatever."
Jiang Nian chuckled, went upstairs leisurely.
.....
The next day.
After washing up, Jiang Nian looked at his phone screen showing the words "Christmas Eve", muttering while changing his shoes.
"Hope today is truly peaceful."
After going downstairs, he continued his usual study routine.
It’s not really fear, after all, the first Digimon evolution was Agumon, indicating courage leads the way.
Passing by the breakfast stall, Jiang Nian was about to enter the school gate.
Suddenly, soone called him.
"Jiang Nian!"
He turned his head, saw soone erging from the small pavilion. As they stepped quickly, the figure gradually beca clear.
It was Zhou Haifei.
She held an old bag, walked to Jiang Nian, and took out an exquisitely packaged apple from the bag, handing it to him.
"This is for you."
Jiang Nian was stunned for a while, took it and said.
"Isn’t this a waste of money?"
"Not a waste, I know you don’t lack this." Zhou Haifei shook her head, "But... we are friends, so you must accept it."
"Uh, alright." Jiang Nian put the boxed apple into his bag.
"I’m going to morize my books." Zhou Haifei nodded, turned back to the small pavilion.
Jiang Nian responded, walking towards the classroom.
"Hmm..."
