Jiang Nian always found the class president kind of odd.
But...very likable.
Even if she did nothing, people surrounded her. Like Soy Milk, or like Nie Qiqi.
Including himself.
But why were all the people around him such a motley crew? Either ssing around with Chi Shi or doing abstract stuff.
Oh, he himself wasn’t any better.
So it was fine.
"Why did you?" Li Qingrong was still hugging him, intending to ask why Jiang Nian took a step back.
But in the end, she wasn’t a fool. So things were filled in through daily contact with Jiang Nian.
The king of physiological knowledge.
"What?" Jiang Nian was puzzled. He couldn’t suppress his body’s instincts, after all, it’s only human.
But stepping back a bit wasn’t very gentlemanly.
It was just based on experience, in the class president’s presence. A hug should be quite innocent, but only he had impure thoughts.
So, he tried to handle it with a bit of dignity.
"Nothing," Li Qingrong shook her head.
She knew, but didn’t mind.
Jiang Nian felt more awkward. In this situation, if he still got moved, his family would really need to call in a priest.
Too shady.
Footsteps sounded from the hallway, approaching closer. It startled Jiang Nian.
Damn, could it be Ji Ming?
He instinctively pulled the class president, hiding a floor lower. But they didn’t go all the way down because there would be footsteps.
Holding their breath.
Li Qingrong glanced at Jiang Nian, seeing him looking all jittery. So she turned again and hugged him.
She gently patted his back once or twice.
Jiang Nian: "..."
No, class president, please be serious.
Click.
The person on the second floor had co down, a pair of leather shoes landed on the top step.
It was the grade leader, Ji Ming.
Ji Ming walked further down, one pant leg already revealed. Another step and he would see them.
Supposedly by this ti, Ji Ming should have been off work.
But the fact he was still patrolling the senior classrooms ant today, the grade staff was organizing to check the dorms.
Jiang Nian shook his head, thinking to himself that he wasn’t even a boarding student. How could he lose focus at such a ti?
But now he couldn’t leave either, because.....
He glanced at the Li Qingrong hugging him and sighed. Maybe this was fate.
So be it, at worst they’d just get a lecture.
However, the footsteps on the stairs stopped. Only two ters away, one more step and they’d be seen.
The atmosphere froze at that mont.
Upstairs.
Two minutes ago, Ji Ming had just confiscated a student’s phone. After a severe scolding, the student shivered.
Down the stairs, he spotted soone’s back.
To him, that must be a student planning to hide in the hallway. Sneaking to eat instant noodles or play on their phone.
The forr could be forgiven, hunger could be uncomfortable.
The latter was not acceptable, a slippery slope.
Though it was the last few months of senior year, managent would relax a bit. Turning a blind eye didn’t an being oblivious.
So, he walked over.
With the first step down, his face already darkened. Because he was indeed not mistaken, there was soone on the stairs below.
The first-floor shutter was closed, a dead end.
He took another step down, keys jingling on his waist. His face turned completely dark—it wasn’t just one person.
A boy and a girl, in such a place.
Ji Ming’s expression turned serious. This wasn’t just simple rule-breaking. Falling in love before major exams required a heavy hand.
Another step, he saw the hem of a garnt.
It seed a bit familiar, after all, he checked for tardiness every day. Having to feign ignorance, pretending to let soone slip through.
Not rembering clothes was actually hard.
Because when Ji Ming perford, he always had a slightly awkward expression, having to look at the girl’s jacket sleeve.
Making up so high-flown words, asking a couple of questions, then letting them go.
So, Ji Ming stopped.
He really wasn’t good at acting, even as a grade leader. Skilled in dealing with people, that was only towards superiors.
Facing a little girl, always felt awkward.
This awkwardness turned into pain, deepening day by day. Persistently rembering, it all flashed back at this mont.
Pain! Such pain!
The people below didn’t move, because Jiang Nian was being hugged. And Li Qingrong wasn’t afraid, so she didn’t move.
Ji Ming on the stairs didn’t move, because he was frozen in awkwardness. Couldn’t just leave, nor could he stay.
Jiang Nian waited for a while, wondering why he wasn’t coming down.
"Ahem."
"♪Looking back, still seeing the hotown moon, the dark night... Hey, they’re all here, alright, I’m coming over now."
Ji Ming pretended to speak on the phone, turning away without looking back.
Jiang Nian breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, crap. How unlucky, almost got caught by Ji Ming.
"Good thing Ji Ming left."
Li Qingrong nodded and let him go.
"Yeah."
...
The last evening self-study session.
Jiang Nian just returned and found the blackboard full of answers, classmates frantically correcting them.
Exams done in a day, reviewed for a day tomorrow. Another round the day after, such a cycle for ten days straight before the first mock exam.
Even a pervert would have to exclaim how intense it was.
So complained, but nobody found it strange. They even felt this intensity could be called a training camp.
Just like the brand new banner hanging at the back, no pain, no gain...
"Damn it, really treating us like animals," Sun Zhicheng rubbed his face, "and this is just the first day of training."
"Ah Cheng, take it easy," Lin Dong was in a good mood, having just scored high in math.
"If it really doesn’t work out, it’s the effort that counts."
Hearing this, Sun Zhicheng almost spat. He couldn’t keep up with the pace, but he definitely didn’t want to be left behind by the group.
Because, that would be too embarrassing.
"I’m not like Yu Tongjie, that poser went to the zero class. Poor guy, can only soak up the atmosphere."
