"Huh?" Qianqian feigned innocence, "I swear on my youth, I won't participate in any form of gambling."
"So...."
She tried to pull her arm out with force, wanting to break free from Jiang Nian's grasp.
However, it was all in vain.
"Trying to back out, huh?" Jiang Nian looked calm, "I knew you'd do this, too late now."
Since Song Xiyun was still in the shower, Qianqian didn't dare to struggle too much, and froze on the spot.
"I'm not backing out, it's just..... it's not appropriate right now."
"Why not?" Jiang Nian raised an eyebrow, indicating for her to continue, "If your reason is good enough, I'll let it go."
"Really?"
"Nope, as if that would happen."
Qianqian got angry upon hearing this and planned to bite his hand directly. But Jiang Nian pushed her away, baring her claws and fangs.
"Let go!"
"When?"
"Pick an auspicious day." Qianqian said, "I... checked the almanac, these days... are unfavorable for everything!"
"Brilliant." Jiang Nian laughed out of anger. Just as he was about to say sothing, the sound of water from the bathroom stopped, so he had to hold back.
"Fine, just you wait."
Qianqian watched Jiang Nian get up, ready to leave with his bag. She felt both anxious and slightly excited.
Surviving the ordeal, she remained unsatisfied.
"Is that it?"
The next mont, Qianqian was pinned into the sofa. Her face was kneaded on both sides like dough.
"Hiss~!!"
"You...$%!"
Jiang Nian kneaded for a while before slowly releasing her. Before leaving, he turned and pointed at Qianqian.
"Forget the front, forget the back, just rember this."
Qianqian took a deep breath, rubbing her cheeks. She thought to herself this guy's really rough, it's all swollen now.
"Tsk."
With a click, the door closed.
Feeling safe again, Young Master Xu started to flaunt. Secretly guessing that Jiang Nian must be repressing sothing.
"Humph, little chef boy."
After wandering in the living room for a bit, she went back to her room to get clothes for a shower. As she pulled open the first drawer of the wardrobe,
Suddenly, she rembered the bite on her neck from that day.
Her movents slowed down slightly.
Stopped.
.....
The next day, Valentine's Day arrived.
As usual, Jiang Nian got up early, washed up, and went out. He noticed that this year's Valentine's Day looked a bit.... subdued.
There were no signs of rchants on the street preparing event materials in advance.
In previous years, so milk tea shops or other stores would have already displayed heart balloons or pink posters.
However, perhaps because the New Year just passed, the atmosphere wasn't quite vibrant. Currently, only gas were hosting events.
"h."
During morning self-study, Li Hua put down his English book. His face almost wrinkled like a bun as he let out a desperate complaint.
"So young and feeling numb already?" Jiang Nian turned to him, "Hua, this is a precursor to a stroke, you know."
"Chi Shi!"
Jiang Nian nodded, "I know an old guy, who was as irritable as you before his stroke."
"Screw you!" Li Hua got anxious, "I ant to say, why isn't anyone giving chocolates?"
From across the aisle, the big guy Ma Guojun chuckled and ca over.
"That's a good thing."
Li Hua: "?"
Ma Guojun said, "It proves there are no pretenders in our class. If soone actually gave you chocolates, we'd have to trace your ancestry."
"Chi Shi Chi Shi!!!" Li Hua couldn't bear this mockery, "My suffering is greater than yours."
Zeng You from the front row turned around, stroked his chin, and said.
"Leader, maybe there will be a cute transfer girl around 1.5 ters who suddenly blushes and gives you chocolates."
"You're so cool when you show off, please date ."
At these words, Jiang Nian and Ma Guojun burst into laughter. Even Wu Jungu, who was usually reserved, couldn't hold it in.
"Exploring the bizarre." Jiang Nian gave a thumbs up and said, "I have to say, you guys are the best at it."
Ma Guojun said, "That sounds like the ultimate fantasy after swallowing a bottle of correction fluid and getting poisoned."
"Your imdiate task is to uninstall Bilibili."
Upon hearing this, Li Hua couldn't be bothered to pay attention to his loony group mates. He started propping up a vocabulary notebook and loudly reciting words.
"Bed! Bed!"
"Leader, you're holding your vocabulary notebook upside down," Zhang Ningzhi softly reminded, "Also, 'bad' is pronounced with the vowel ae."
"That's quite the joke." Jiang Nian patted his shoulder, "Keep entertaining like this every day."
At this point, Li Hua truly lost his composure.
"Chi Shi!"
On the other side, Zhou Yuting was enjoying her first morning self-study after switching groups.
Everything felt right. The study atmosphere was fantastic. No one daydreaming during the day, and no one seeking flattery.
Everyone was normal, everyone was studying.
Suddenly, Tao Ran looked up and said.
"Dong Que, do you have any recent psychological issues?"
At these words, several question marks popped up over Zhou Yuting's head.
"??? "
"Leader, don't even think about it." Dong Que put down his English essay materials, "I won't be helping you book an appointnt."
"Really can't do it?" Tao Ran looked regretful, "Last ti, while I was halfway through talking, the teacher said they were going to get coffee."
"One whole class passed, and she didn't co back."
Dong Que: "...."
Zhou Yuting was silent, but then she thought to herself. Except for Tao Ran, everyone else seed normal.
"Forget it, I'll ask Jiang Nian then." Tao Ran said, "I rember... he's quite familiar with the psychology teacher."
"Wait a minute."
Dong Que suddenly said, "I changed my mind, maybe I can help you book it, but I want to check it out too."
Tao Ran made a gesture of packing up, "OK."
Zhou Yuting propped her hand on the table, her fingers slowly running through her hair. Feeling incredulous, she thought to herself, 'This has got to be a joke.'
The rope of life tends to break at its thinnest point... destiny indeed.
...
During the first class in the morning, Qianbao just entered the classroom.
"Teacher, happy Valentine's Day!"
Several people from Class Three shouted in unison, giving chocolates in the na of the class, making the old lady lose her bearings.
Suddenly, Li Hua asked, "You and the English teacher have such a good relationship, why don't you give her chocolates individually?"
