He turned his head and looked at the people in the class. It seed like everyone had their own things to do, except him who couldn't get motivated.
Lin Dong ca back, just sat down and saw Sun Zhicheng looking dejected.
"Ah Cheng, what's up with you again?"
"Feeling a bit down."
"Oh, down, huh." Lin Dong pondered for a mont and forwarded the motivational file Jiang Nian sent him last ti to Sun Zhicheng.
"Ah Cheng, I sent you a motivational coach file. Rember, look at it after taking a shower when you get ho."
"Huh?" Sun Zhicheng, upon hearing the phrase 'after taking a shower,' no longer felt down, and he seed much more lively.
He had seen detectives and nurses, but never a motivational coach.
"Is it good?"
"Not bad, everyone in our dorm has watched it." Lin Dong patted his shoulder, whispering, "It's quite soothing."
Sun Zhicheng's expression quickly beca determined, nodding solemnly.
"Alright!"
anwhile, in the sixth group.
Li Hua brought a bag of honey cakes and was sharing them with the group mbers. Jiang Nian ate anything, gulping down a whole piece.
The base of the honey cake was crispy, with a fragrant oily scent when bitten. The sweet taste of honey made it quite delicious.
Zhang Ningzhi was sowhat curious, pinching a small piece.
"Tasty!"
"Yay yay yay~" Jiang Nian mimicked a few phrases.
"I'll beat you up!!" Zhang Ningzhi puffed her cheeks and punched him, red-faced, "You're so annoying!"
Yao Beibei walked over to take a look, lacking interest.
"Li Hua, why do you choose such strange flavors for snacks? They seem more like old people's tastes than young people's."
"Old? Li Hua looked perplexed, "How is it old? I loved eating this when I was a child."
Yao Beibei pursed her lips, "Eating a bite feels like your neck stretches miles away."
"Chi Shi."
Despite her words, she reached out and pinched a tiny piece. After tasting it, she found the flavor decent.
She then returned to her seat, bringing a bag of Tiger Skin Chicken Claws to share.
"This is what young people love to eat."
Li Hua said nothing, pulling out peanut crispy sugar from his pocket.
"What about this?"
The wild choice stunned everyone present.
Suddenly, soone in the class shouted.
"Grades are out!"
With a wave-like motion, everyone in the classroom started bustling around. Those with phones took them out.
Those without phones watched others take theirs out.
"Which subject's grades are out?"
"Math, probably."
Jiang Nian, unhurriedly, logged in to check his scores. Math score of 123, quite average.
Stuck at the excellent line, barely acceptable.
Zhang Ningzhi scored 136, also a normal performance. Li Hua needless to say, Fangfang 134.
The most surprising was Zeng You, who scored 103.
"Chi Shi, how did you score?"
"Envious, aren't you?" Li Hua brushed his hair, boasting, "There were two questions I couldn't solve, but my intuition was good."
The group fell silent, it turned out to be unconventional thods.
Across the aisle, the chubby Ma Guojun stared at his scores. His gaze was sowhat dazed; he only scored 113.
"I surrender."
"Class President, did you score full marks?" Nie Qiqi, reporting happily, like a little sycophant, "Amazing."
"Yes." Li Qingrong nodded.
"Can you teach ? I'm so dumb." Nie Qiqi pouted, ready to stick to him, but was caught.
"A fool should restart." Cai Xiaoqing pulled her away with one hand.
"Damn, I ssed up."
Tao Ran's group, a few boys were lanting. In contrast, the class committee mber was much calr, reading comic books.
Little Bailin didn't do well either, holding her test paper and sobbing.
"I'm done, didn't review during winter break."
After sighing, she turned to look at Zhou Yuting.
"How did you score?"
Zhou Yuting stared at the whiteboard, her pupils unfocused. Like a teor hurtling into darkness, her eyelashes trembled.
She opened her mouth, but no sound ca out.
"Scored… not well."
86 points.
For the Olympic class, it was undoubtedly such a glaring number. Even just four points more would lend so dignity.
She never thought that after moving up classes, her math would fail.
What exactly went wrong?
Zhou Yuting tried to figure out the problem, but a wave of anxiety and helplessness instantly swallowed her.
...
Zhang Ningzhi reached into Jiang Nian's pocket, suddenly grinning blissfully, and nudged him.
"What's up?"
Jiang Nian turned his head and swiftly arrested her.
"Trying to steal my money?"
"Hmph, not at all!" Zhang Ningzhi huffed and retracted her hand, thinking this guy has no romantic sense.
"You're really stingy!"
"Market trade!" Jiang Nian wanted to retort, but couldn't articulate it. How could he say her hand was too close to his wallet?
This isn't romantic, rather it's quite lewd.
"Hmph!" Zhang Ningzhi, unhappy, huffed like a steam engine, "By the way, what will you wear tomorrow?"
"Wear whatever, why ask?"
"You're speaking tomorrow, you'll surely dress up a bit, right?" Zhang Ningzhi asked, sowhat worried.
What if Jiang Nian looks too good and attracts admirers?
On second thought, let him look good.
After all, she wants to look too.
"Hmm… makes sense." Jiang Nian nodded, "Better disguise myself tomorrow, to avoid getting beaten after I speak."
Zhang Ningzhi: "..."
The thought process of boys is too erratic, impossible to follow.
"Fine, don't dress up, for the sake of everyone." Li Hua said, "Make yourself look ugly, just wear the school uniform."
"Ten bucks." Jiang Nian stroked his chin.
Li Hua reached into his pocket, "byd for you."
Zhang Ningzhi was displeased, her plan thwarted by the group leader. Originally, she wanted to help Jiang Nian with ideas.
To show him who's the real helpful sidekick.
But... school uniforms would work too.
First self-study period ended.
Jiang Nian received a ssage, finding himself added to a group by Lan Lan with a notification.
[To coordinate the Hundred Day Oath-taking Assembly and school leaders...]
He skimd through it, the gist being a ntal health seminar. Discussing how to adjust emotions after ssing up exams.
They needed soone for the eting. Although they ntioned looking for those who did poorly, Li Hua could be sent as a stand-in.
"Received."
Just after sending the ssage, Lan Lan privately ssaged him.
"Don't slack off. (Husky referring to a person)"
Jiang Nian couldn't hold it anymore, wondering why Lan Lan had this stereotype of him, it was really bad.
"Teacher, where did you get the emoji?"
"Students often send them." Lan Lan said, "I find them useful. Just don't be perfunctory again."
"Why?"
"Don't ask, just take it seriously." Lan Lan sent another emoji - don't ask what shouldn't be asked.
Technically, you don't have the right to inquire.
Jiang Nian struggled to hold it together, but knowing Lan Lan wouldn't harm him.
"Alright."
As evening self-study was about to end.
Most people in the class were buried under their books, and the atmosphere was different from before, more people were serious.
After the bell, Jiang Nian greeted Li Qingrong and packed up to go ho.
Under the streetlights, Xu Qianqian walked, stepping on shadows for a while, couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked.
"You're speaking tomorrow?"
"Yup."
"Hundred Day Oath-taking, why did they choose you again?" Song Xiyun was also puzzled, logically they wouldn't keep choosing one person.
"No idea, maybe they think I'm handso."
"Pff, narcissist." Xu Qianqian rolled her eyes, pulled a bag of nuts from her pocket and started distributing.
She gave Song Xiyun so in the palm, and then gave Jiang Nian only one piece.
"What the heck?"
"What?" Xu Qianqian raised an eyebrow.
"Why only one for ?" He struggled to hold it, thinking Xu Qianqian is tough to get close to.
"Just one, take it or leave it!"
"Another piece, please?"
"Why?"
"So I can eat two together."
On the other side.
Sun Zhicheng returned ho, lay down for a while. Fifteen minutes later, he rembered the video Lin Dong sent him.
With determination, he got up to shower.
Finished washing up, turned off the lights, and grabbed his phone. Clicked the link, downloaded and played it.
A black and white scene appeared with a well.
Zila, snowflakes flashed.
Sadako crawled out.
