Jiang Nian nodded, "Oh, okay."
Soon, Zhang Ningzhi and Yao Beibei left together.
He pondered for a mont, planning to check in the afternoon. If his good desk-mate isn't well, he should let her take leave to see a doctor.
Zhizhi seems to be over-exerting herself lately.
As he was thinking this, soone tapped him on the shoulder.
"Hmm?"
Turning his head, he saw it was Lin Dong and the others.
"We're going to have a buffet at Post Street. Want to co, Brother Nian? My treat, just co along."
Yang Qiming called Lin Dong, but Lin Dong also called Sun Zhicheng. He covered the extra cost and decided to invite Jiang Nian as well.
"Half price?"
"Yes."
Jiang Nian thought for a bit, then declined. It wasn't that he didn't like it, he just felt that going to a buffet with many people wasn't fun.
If it were the five-yuan buffet box at the entrance, he'd be more inclined to go.
...
After half an hour.
Jiang Nian looked up and found the classroom empty. Outside, it was drizzling gently with rain.
An eerie wind blew, rustling the exam papers.
He stared blankly at the front blackboard, his thoughts lightly scattering. The more effort he put in, the more reassuring it felt inside.
After a while, he went downstairs, preparing to use an umbrella.
"Senior."
Jiang Nian turned around and saw the Low-score kid coming out from behind a pillar on the first floor, making him slowly raise a questioning brow.
"What's up?"
Lin Yuxi shook her head, "Just waiting for you after school."
Jiang Nian: "?"
This persistent little girl was like a sour fruit on a small tree, looking lush and full of fruits, but once you taste it, there's no sound.
The hardest kindness to repay is a beauty's, and the younger they are, the longer they linger.
"What's there to wait for." He looked at her with dead fish eyes, "Next ti I might not even co down at noon."
Lin Yuxi: "..."
Sotis she really admired Jiang Nian's ability to disrupt the atmosphere. As soon as he opened his mouth, it could make one fu.
"Anyway, I'm willing."
Hearing this, Jiang Nian couldn't help but feel a headache.
"Then I'll treat you to the worst cafeteria, as a reward for your willingness." Jiang Nian nodded.
"By the way, what's your family eating at this ti?"
"Chicken..." Lin Yuxi, half-speaking, said insincerely, "I... don't like chicken soup."
Chicken soup with Arican ginseng, sweet with a hint of bitterness.
It had its own unique taste.
Whenever she thought of her family drinking chicken soup, possibly with all sorts of tasty desserts prepared, while she ate at the cafeteria...
She felt... life was tough.
Jiang Nian glanced at her, thinking that the girl had quite the craving. Not being at ho, she just knew her family was having chicken soup.
One could say, her mouth was quite stubborn.
No worries though, the school cafeteria would teach her a lesson.
"Why seaweed again?" Lin Yuxi complained, "Senior, can I take you out to eat?"
"Save it, it's about the sa outside." Jiang Nian got his food, "Many shops are closed, the ones open are crowded."
He wasn't picky and ate at the cafeteria mainly to save ti.
Lin Yuxi: "Oh."
When they were almost done eating, Jiang Nian looked up.
"Head ho."
Lin Yuxi lowered her head, hesitating for a while.
"I won't go back."
Having said that, she closed her eyes, ready to be scolded. She was prepared to be scolded before coming.
However, Jiang Nian did not scold her.
"You're wasting too much ti this way, I rarely leave the classroom. How about this, let's set a ti."
"Huh?" Lin Yuxi was puzzled.
"If I'm free, I'll let you know in advance." He said, "Set a ti, and we'll have a al together?"
Hearing this, Lin Yuxi's eyes lit up.
"Really?"
"Yeah, I'd like so of your family's chicken soup too." Jiang Nian nodded, "Anything beats seaweed."
Better to divert than confront, he was truly getting tired of this comparison.
"Senior, you won't lie to , will you?" Lin Yuxi pouted, "Do I look innocent, beautiful, kind, and easy to deceive?"
"Is it necessary to put so many positive labels on yourself?"
"I'm naturally positive!"
"If I lie to you, I'm a dog." Jiang Nian casually made an inconsequential promise, a dog's fine.
Whatever, it's not like this was new.
"Okay then." Lin Yuxi was satisfied, her eyes turned crescent as she smiled, "Then you must make a date with ."
"Mm-hmm."
"If you forget about , I won't forgive you, even as a ghost."
"No, you're overreacting here."
"Hehe." Lin Yuxi made a peace sign, "Even as a ghost, I'd be the cutest junior ghost."
Jiang Nian was speechless.
Why add a junior buff specifically?
.....
Lunch break.
After placating Lin Yuxi, Jiang Nian resolved a concern. Browsing her social dia, he noticed Xu Shuang liked it.
"Hmm?"
No way, does the sponsor's social circle cover that wide?
He thought knowing Lin Yuxi was a fairly niche thing, Zhen Nan was really small.
At this mont, there was a faint sound of footsteps.
It was already lunch break, the classroom was quiet. Wang Yuhe tiptoed, bent over, and approached.
Jiang Nian: "???"
Wang Yuhe slowly ca beside him, squatting by his desk leg.
"Yunyun asked if you wanted an apple?"
She pulled out a washed red apple from behind her, but instead of handing it to Jiang Nian, she suddenly began to break it with her hands.
"Yaa!!"
Jiang Nian watched as Wang Yuhe, with no warning, exerted herself to break the apple, her expression distorted from the effort.
Yet, after several attempts, she failed.
"What are you doing?"
"Breaking the apple!" Wang Yuhe muttered, slightly pouting, "There's sothing wrong with this apple."
Jiang Nian was speechless, casually saying.
"I don't eat apples."
"No way, you must eat it!" Wang Yuhe started applying force again, her face flush, her fingers whitened at the knuckles.
"Heave heave heave!!"
Jiang Nian: "...."
He couldn't be bothered, intending to start writing. When Wang Yuhe finally broke the apple, he turned his head and froze.
From this angle, his view went straight through her jacket.
"Cough cough, you might as well stand up."
"Why?"
Jiang Nian pointed at the apple, nonsensically saying.
"It's hard to exert strength while squatting."
"Oh, that's why I couldn't break it." Wang Yuhe believed him, sat on Li Hua's chair, and continued the struggle.
Jiang Nian couldn't be bothered, glanced at a few questions.
A crunching sound.
"Got it!" Wang Yuhe bead, handing it to Jiang Nian, only to find he didn't even turn his head.
His effort went unnoticed, almost ignored.
The elentary schooler was angry!
She pressed half of the apple to Jiang Nian's mouth, he turned his head away. She switched sides, kept pressing.
After going back and forth, both felt a bit tired.
"What's wrong with you!"
"Take a bite!"
Jiang Nian gave in, accepted it and took two bites, then realized the silence around.
"Hmm?"
Turning his head, he saw Wang Yuhe hesitant yet again.
"What's the matter now?"
"Nothing, it's just... the old man at the school gate I told you about last ti, did you make him leave?"
He looked at the bashful Wang Yuhe, his mouth twitched slightly.
"Yeah, so?"
Jiang Nian decided if Wang Yuhe asked if he paid money, he'd give this elentary schooler a good lesson.
Looking foolish, it was nearing the point of being impolite.
Then, Wang Yuhe rely whispered.
"Thank you."
After saying this, the elentary schooler crouched again, sneaking back along the path she ca.
Jiang Nian didn't bother her baffling actions, continued focusing on his work.
Lunch break flew by, over.
Chen Yunyun passed by the back door, handed him a pack of raisins. Leaning behind his chair, she stretched a bit.
Her silk-like waist akin to jade, a fleeting mont.
"Did you eat the apple?"
"So it was really from you?" Jiang Nian turned to her, his expression slightly speechless, "The taste was average."
"It's for vitamins." Chen Yunyun had a hint of a smile, "If I gave it to you, you definitely wouldn't eat it."
Wang Yuhe's persistence matched perfectly to deal with him.
Jiang Nian was even more speechless, but with so many people in the classroom, it wasn't appropriate to retaliate, so he got up.
"Want to go for a leak?"
Chen Yunyun: "...."
"Don't keep saying that." She complained a bit, but still followed with her hands behind her back.
"By the way, did you see the group leader?"
In the slanting afternoon sunlight, their voices faded, rging into the bustling afternoon.
