Chapter 166: Chapter 139: Brothers are birds of the same forest, yet when disaster strikes, one gets trampled

Zhang Ningzhi peeked in and happened to meet Li Qingrong’s gaze, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"What’s wrong?"

Li Qingrong was curious but didn’t know how to ask. She was momentarily conflicted, unconsciously staring at the pouch in Zhang Ningzhi’s hand.

Jiang Nian couldn’t stand it and explained from the middle.

"It’s just a blessing charm."

"Yeah, super powerful," Zhang Ningzhi added, little stars shining in her eyes, "Jiang Nian said... he said that it was blessed by a master, capable of warding off disasters."

Hearing this, Jiang Nian felt a bit awkward.

Darn, I never said that!

When both Zhang Ningzhi and Li Qingrong looked at Jiang Nian, seeking confirmation, he suddenly became serious, as if channeling Xiao Yang.

"That’s right."

Seeing the sparkle in Zhang Ningzhi’s eyes, Jiang Nian was embarrassed, thinking it was fortunate to bluff through it.

He turned his head and saw Li Qingrong looking at him, causing him to chuckle awkwardly.

Bro needs his dignity, don’t expose me, okay?

Li Qingrong didn’t say anything, as if nothing had happened.

Early reading session.

Li Hua was singing loudly again; Jiang Nian originally planned to join in to complete a love song task.

Upon closer listening, he realized it was "Pig Hero," so he immediately gave up.

To be honest, singing can feel a tad bit embarrassing at first.

But after singing a few lines, it’s not as awkward as imagined, even somewhat enjoyable.

"The long shot pulls further and further away, after several years. We remember the concert, a polite farewell kiss... the first song you wrote for me."

Upon singing the part [you and I tightly holding hands], the panel popped up.

Task completed.

Just sang for about seven or eight seconds, and the system judged it complete.

Li Hua was still singing loudly, completely immersed in his world.

The group in front and behind were all in early reading, no one paid attention to Jiang Nian’s not very loud impromptu "Love Song." It was even considered normal, given that he sat next to Li Hua.

After all, keep close to the black ink, there’s no way of blooming as a lotus in the mud.

Two quirky boys coming together, their intelligence sinks into a cosmic black hole. Meanwhile, the thickness of their skins could rival a city wall.

Jiang Nian crossed off the task panel carelessly, turning to glance at Zhang Ningzhi.

The little girl leaned against the bookshelf memorizing vocabulary, looking all earnest in her early reading. She must have heard it, otherwise, the system wouldn’t have judged it so.

Jiang Nian put down the pen and patted Li Hua to signal he was going out. Li Hua turned his head and gave him a puzzled look.

"Where to?"

"Relieve myself."

"Alright, then I’m going too." Li Hua promptly decided, with an eager expression, tossing aside the vocabulary book, "I’ll hold it for you, don’t aim off."

"Dang it, you’re more disgusting than me." Jiang Nian looked contemptuous and gestured with his head, "Call the big plump baby over, ask if he’s going."

"Hard to say, Old Ma is as timid as a mouse."

Li Hua eventually asked, and Ma Guojun hadn’t had breakfast. He planned to go to the cafeteria for a bowl of rice noodles after relieving themselves.

The two were in the front two rows, and the English lesson representative nearby overheard their conversation clearly.

Looking at Li Hua, then at Jiang Nian, with a serious expression.

"Where are you going?"

"Relieving myself," "Cafeteria," "Go to the cafeteria after relieving myself"

"You’re messing around! This is English early reading!" The representative stepped forward and lowered his voice, "The teacher is next door, go the other way, bring me a sauerkraut pancake."

"Thanks, brothers, I’ll give you the money later."

The three laughed, gesturing OK, and swaggered out in front of the English lesson representative.

Zhang Ningzhi quietly caught a glimpse of Jiang Nian’s back as he exited with companions, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Slowly burying her face into the book, her heart pounding.

It seemed he was singing just now, a bit off-key, standard for a male high voice.

That kind of voice which is evidently amateur, lacking technique and emotion; the only merit is that it sounds pleasant.

She didn’t used to be this confrontational, but after sitting with Jiang Nian, she gradually gained a tad of assertiveness and would occasionally show it.

The main point isn’t this...

A couple of afternoons ago, on the weekend, she and Jiang Nian were at a seafood place which played "Love Song." Suddenly hearing him sing, it felt somewhat embarrassing.

Jiang Nian and the other two had just sneaked out when they bumped into Qianbao from the adjacent class.

The three’s expressions changed drastically, the atmosphere instantly became tense.

Li Hua stood further back, half blocked by Ma Guojun. He didn’t hesitate a bit and turned to run immediately. If he ran fast, maybe...

Suddenly, Li Hua felt his arm being grabbed by something. Before he could react, a huge force pulled him backward firmly, seeing Jiang Nian’s face amid retreating.

"Step aside for your dad."

"Jiang Nian! You!!" Li Hua despaired, seeing Jiang Nian leveraging forward, heart filled with grief.

We brothers were initially classmates, and now damn it one would trip another when catastrophe strikes!

Forget it, if they could escape...

I might as well have not lived!!!

Li Hua made a flying leap, directly embracing Jiang Nian’s waist.

"Bastard! Perish together!"

"Darn it, you stinker!"

Ma Guojun attempted to escape stealthily but got caught by Li Hua and Jiang Nian simultaneously by the arms.

"Old Ma, no more hiding, you’re so distinctive, Qianbao is sure to catch you!"

"Fat baby, let’s die together!"

Ma Guojun, face filled with horror, couldn’t shake off the two of them.

"Are you this underhanded? Scumbags!"

In the corridor, Qianbao looked at the three students hugging and pulling each other. A big question mark popped out on her forehead, are they usually this silly?

"Where are you few headed?"

Li Hua couldn’t find an excuse, lowering his head, spoke truthfully.

"To the restroom."

"Teacher, Li Hua was singing during early reading, his saliva splashed onto my face." Jiang Nian blinked not at all, directly betraying, "I was going to wash my face in the restroom."

Upon hearing this, Li Hua was utterly shocked!

"Teacher! Me too!" Ma Guojun, not great with words, quickly followed along.

"Huh?" Li Hua, backstabbed by his friends, was completely astounded, pointing tremulously at the two, "You... Hey! Is there really a need to do this?"

"Li Hua!" Qianbao addressed him sternly, frowning at him, "Caught you singing several times during early reading, not even mentioning that it’s the cartoon my daughter likes watching."

After Qianbao said her piece, a few heads poked out from both classes to watch the commotion.

"Hahaha, Li Hua, you fool!"

"Teacher, I’m reporting that Li Hua just sang ’Pig Hero’ at the start of early reading!"

Qianbao held her temples, berating the crowd watching the fun.

"Go back to your early reading!"

Those watching for amusement at the classroom door shrank back.

Jiang Nian stood at the end of the back, muttering in a pinched voice.

"What’s wrong with singing?"

Qianbao was furious, glaring at Li Hua.

"Dare to talk back, how many marks did you get in the weekly English test?"

"No! It wasn’t me who said that!" Li Hua still underestimated Jiang Nian’s moral lows, only regretting not striking preemptively, "Teacher, Jiang Nian is framing me!"

"You, come over here!"

Li Hua was taken away, leaving Jiang Nian and Ma Guojun to look at each other in the corridor.

"We’re safe now, right?"

"Safe, Brother Hua took all the heat alone." Jiang Nian shook his head, sighed, "Our old friend has gone to the Yellow Crane Tower, remember Li Hua..."

"Let’s go relieve ourselves, what do you plan to eat later at the cafeteria?" Ma Guojun asked.

"A sauerkraut pancake," Jiang Nian replied.

"Let’s go, let’s go."

It wasn’t until early reading was almost over that Li Hua returned, looking dejected.

Qianbao gave him a target, he must pass the big exam in a few days. Otherwise, she’d report the early reading singing and class-skipping breakfast incidents to Lao Liu.

Wretched.

The root of all this misery lay with that damn kid!

Early reading was over, and after sitting down, the two were uncharacteristically upright.

Li Hua earnestly studied vocabulary, whispering the words, occasionally looking skyward. Jiang Nian, on the other hand, was diligently working on questions, occasionally glancing at Li Hua.

"Why are you looking at me?" Li Hua frowned, still memorizing vocabulary.

Jiang Nian instinctively felt something was odd, but didn’t ponder it. He eyed Li Hua for a while, confirming he wouldn’t take retaliatory action, then gradually leaned on the desk.

As he lay down, he suddenly sprang up again.

Li Hua still bore the same demeanor and even cast him a puzzled look as if saying you’re being inexplicable.

Jiang Nian felt reassured, ready to catch some sleep in these few minutes.

Just as his eyes closed, he was startled awake by a sudden motion. Just in the turn of a head, Li Hua lunged at him with a flush face, gritting teeth!

"Die! You treacherous betrayer!"

"No!! Don’t pinch me, I was wrong, Brother Hua." Jiang Nian quickly pleaded, "I’ll treat you to a sauerkraut pancake, and Ma Guojun bought you a yogurt, your sacrifice is meaningful."

"Damn meaningful!" Li Hua was infuriated, but thinking of the sauerkraut pancake, he spared him, "Hand it over, not in vain for getting reprimanded a whole early reading."

Jiang Nian took the sauerkraut pancake and yogurt out from under the desk and handed them to him, adding an extra comment.

"Qianbao is doing it for your good, otherwise why only catch you."

"Yeah, yeah, I know," Li Hua begrudgingly responded, "I’m memorizing vocabulary, right? Trying to score eighty in the big exam."

Jiang Nian lay back on the desk, yet no longer sleepy due to being rattled by Li Hua’s antics.

However, while lying down, he fell asleep unexpectedly.

---Is it a dream?

Underneath a vast white curtain, Jiang Nian realized he was dreaming. Just that... he looked at the expansive whiteness surrounding him.’

He’d had dreams before, but usually, it was a shift in perspective without the capacity to think. Like spectating in a video game, with the pixels at 360p and fully pixelated.

Now, it was vivid and real.

Jiang Nian felt his thought process was seamless, utterly unlike dreaming.

So, is this a system reward?

Is this a slice of Zhang Ningzhi’s memory? If presented as a dream, it’s rather interesting. The issue is, where’s Zhang Ningzhi?

As if to answer his confusion, two knocks sounded.

A door was knocked.

Jiang Nian surveyed the empty surroundings, darn where’s the door?

The white space gradually faded like a dissipating mist, revealing the skeleton of a room as the sound of a door lock being turned echoed.

Jiang Nian saw... to be precise, saw Zhang Ningzhi’s mother in her memory.

So young, she seemed only in her twenties, right?

Wait, it really does seem like she’s in her twenties. The woman had fair skin and a beautiful face, with lips like cream, dressed in formerly trendy clothes, holding a plate of fruit.

"Branch Baby, were you happy at kindergarten today?"

Kindergarten?

Jiang Nian was puzzled, where the heck did this bring me?
