Whoa, Huang.
Jiang Nian acted out of muscle mory, his fingers moving quickly. By the ti he ca to his senses, the picture had already been saved.
"Where did you find this?"
He Minjun was really soone you'd not judge by appearances. Usually so well-behaved, you'd never guess she liked local stuff.
"I took it directly from downstairs," she replied.
Jiang Nian: "???"
No way...
He examined it closely. Isn't that staircase railing pattern the sa as the building He Minjun lives in now?
He Minjun: "Amazing, right?"
"What are these two doing?" Jiang Nian was a bit puzzled, unsure what angle He Minjun had taken the photo from.
He Minjun: "Still groping around. (thinking)"
Co on, who asked about their progress.
"Have you been watching them this whole ti?" Jiang Nian replied, "Late at night, aren't you afraid the couple will counterattack?"
"It's not just ," said He Minjun. "My roommate is next to , she's secretly recording too."
To this, Jiang Nian had no comnt.
A bit abstract.
He Minjun chatted a bit more, and seeing Jiang Nian say he was "going for a three-day-long shower," she got straight to the point.
"Actually, I have sothing to ask you."
"Go ahead."
Jiang Nian didn't mind dealing with He Minjun. She found a roommate to share a place, and instead of rewarding herself, she voluntarily transferred money to him.
She was quite particular about business, always paying her debts.
Half a minute later, He Minjun's ssage flashed, "I want to borrow your biology notes and test papers to take a look."
"Is that okay? (praying)
"I can pay you a bit, and I'll be very careful with them. In three days, they'll be returned in perfect condition."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian understood.
The first mock exams were approaching, and everyone wanted to give their best shot. Getting a good score on this small college entrance exam simulation mattered a lot.
"Sure."
He agreed, typing out a reply.
"There's no need for paynt, just take good care of them."
For Jiang Nian, those notes and papers were just remnants of knowledge he'd absorbed, the essence was all in his brain.
To his surprise, He Minjun was insistent.
"I'll pay you!"
"Uh... do you have money?"
"No," He Minjun replied with a [seriously] emoji, "I'll owe you, and pay once I have money!"
"Let's talk about this later."
He Minjun: "I insist on paying!"
Are you the money saver from Zhen Nan or sothing?
Jiang Nian was a bit speechless. Even a penny could weigh down a hero, but she was as persistent as a willow in the wind.
"It's pointless."
Gosh, the rush for the college entrance exam was about to begin. At a ti like this, who would have the decency to take money from a friend?
He Minjun: "I'm determined to pay! [selfie]"
Jiang Nian: "....."
Man, this girl sure knows how to play dirty.
North District Dormitory.
A few flashlights lit up the dormitory corridor. A shabby yellow table swayed precariously.
On it were three burgers, authentic Wallaces.
"Whoa?"
"Where did these Wallaces co from?"
"Bought them from downtown," Yang Qiming waved, inviting them over, "I only packed three, co and share them."
The two didn't split them in their own dorm but ran over to Lin Dong's place.
"Bro, how do we cut these?" Huang Caicai asked.
Yang Qiming picked up a burger and said, "I'll share with you, and the rest can be evenly split among them."
"Okay, bro."
"Evenly, huh? That's hard with so many people," Lin Dong looked around, "Too many people, there's not enough to enjoy."
"So what do you suggest, Brother Dong?"
"Rock-paper-scissors then."
They all looked at each other, as Huang Caicai took a bite out of his half of the burger, enjoying his Crown Prince treatnt and the peacefulness of the mont.
"Alright."
"Damn it, I'm going to win!"
They were eager, but then Zeng You rubbed his crotch, claiming he'd get a bit of male energy before the ga.
"Screw you."
"Get out of here, that's disgusting."
"I'm going to post this in the class chat."
Zeng You was promptly kicked out by the others, left sitting on the cold bench, watching the rest play rock-paper-scissors to decide the winner.
Lin Dong lost, and had to split one burger with Zeng You among five people. After a while, two more voluntarily gave up.
"How do three people split one burger?"
"Evenly, of course. I've got a ruler," Zeng You pulled out a protractor.
"Darn!" Lin Dong couldn't hold it in, there really was soone like this, "Do you really have to go that far?"
....
The next day.
Jiang Nian was brushing his teeth, scrolling through his phone. He happened to see Lin Dong and the others posting about using a ruler to divide a burger?
These idiots, they're really bored.
But living on campus had its own perks too. At least it wasn't without its bit of good; they weathered quite a few hardships.
Even if Jiang Nian got to college, he wouldn't always stay in a dorm.
Even if the roommate was Chu Zihang, he'd have to move out. But if it were Nuonuo, that'd be another story.
As he was lost in his own thoughts, a ssage from his sponsor ca through.
Xu Shuang: "I'll add more money for you."
The sponsor's task was rather tricky, asking him to find a dicinal herb. She only gave the na and so vague information.
This kind of thing really shouldn't involve him. It should be sothing a herbalist should be asked, spend a bit of money to find out.
Jiang Nian had reviewed all his skills last night and found out that this thing was called Danzhu Lotus locally in Zhen Nan.
[Good news] indicated the herb was extinct, and [Purchase] could buy it through ti-space shopping, but there wasn't enough balance.
Even decades ago, this stuff was a bit pricey.
Jiang Nian explained the herb couldn't be found ready-made and suggested that he might need to dig for it on another day. He suggested that if it was urgent, she should find soone else.
Xu Shuang didn't explain much, she just said there was no rush. Finding it would be a blessing, not finding it still ant money, and finding it ant even more money.
In short, money wasn't a problem.
Since the sponsor wasn't in a hurry and even added more money, Jiang Nian agreed without hesitation.
"By the way."
Xu Shuang: "Hm?"
"Do you know anyone who goes into the mountains?" Jiang Nian typed as he headed downstairs, "Like a guide or sothing."
