Chapter 189: Chapter 160: I Have No Spine

"Tsk tsk, Yuan Zhengchuan is really making trouble out of nothing."

"Yeah, I’ve never seen anything like that before."

"I was just watching from the side, his expression was truly frightening."

In the girls’ dormitory, four or five girls were scattered around discussing today’s events.

Next door, the commotion in Ji Jiayu’s dorm room attracted even more onlookers, who had been gossiping for over an hour and still hadn’t dispersed.

[timi!], [timi!]

An incongruous sound rang out, and several girls, including Chai Muying, looked up towards the source of the sound.

On the upper bunk, Chen Yunyun and Wang Yuhe were sitting together against the wall. Their two pairs of white feet rested against the green bed railing, while the ceiling fan blew with a whoosh.

"Hmm? Yunyun, are you guys playing a game?"

"Ah, yeah..."

Chen Yunyun knew the gossip scoop about Ji Jiayu, so she wasn’t much interested. As for Wang Yuhe, she cared even less, as long as the young couple didn’t disturb her nap.

As they spoke, a male voice came from Wang Yuhe’s phone.

"Can you hear me?"

The dormitory suddenly went quiet, even Chen Yunyun was taken aback, not expecting Wang Yuhe to play the sound out loud. Originally she was going to use headphones, but suddenly decided not to.

In an instant, four or five roommates stood up, looking up together, gathering below Wang Yuhe’s bunk, ready for some juicy gossip.

Just then an unexpected voice came from Wang Yuhe’s phone.

"Wang Yuhe is a primary school student!"

At these words, the girls’ dormitory burst into laughter! It was filled with the sounds of laughter and chatter!

"Hahaha, it’s Jiang Nian, right?"

"Primary school student, hahaha."

Wang Yuhe couldn’t stand it, and said through gritted teeth.

"No, you’re the primary school student!"

"You are, I’m not," Jiang Nian retorted.

"You are!"

"Your dad isn’t, but you are."

The whole girls’ dormitory listened to Jiang Nian and Wang Yuhe’s intense debate for two minutes, trying to determine who indeed was the primary school student, and they were laughing so hard they could barely breathe.

"You two are just unbelievable, are you kindergarten kids?"

Hearing this, Chen Yunyun also found it funny, and she inquired with her roommates before starting the game.

"You guys want to play?"

"Nah, you guys go ahead, I don’t know how to play this game."

"Didn’t download it."

"No thanks, I’m busy getting the gossip next door, I heard Lao Liu called."

"I’m going too, I love juicy gossip the most."

After going around asking, no one wanted to join, so it was still the three of them playing with Jiang Nian.

Even though they were in the same dorm, they weren’t very familiar with Jiang Nian, and felt awkward to join in.

Plus, a team of one guy and four girls is generally known as a punching bag, a scapegoat, a losing streak team. A soft target in a five-player lineup, a marshmallow.

There’s no fun in constantly losing, unless it’s with friends.

For example, every time Ma Guojun and Li Hua went to an internet café to team up, the two of them would end up cursing. With their baby faces red from the argument, next time they would still look for Li Hua to play together.

It’s not even about deep friendship, it’s just that when it comes to games, if you’re not playing with friends around you, winning many times doesn’t mean anything.

As the game was still loading, Chen Yunyun spoke up.

"Jiang Nian, I’m not very good at this."

Wang Yuhe emphasized, "I’m very good."

"It’s fine, just play casually, my skills aren’t that great either," Jiang Nian comforted, "By the way, it’s already nine o’clock, aren’t you guys having a late-night snack?"

Chen Yunyun was speechless, maneuvering her character towards the Defense Tower.

"You forgot, we ate at eight."

Before long, Jiang Nian’s voice came through the microphone, accompanied by the sound effect of skill upgrades.

"Oh, oh, the cafeteria is open so late?"

"Yeah, because the dorm cafeteria here has mostly resident students," Chen Yunyun explained while playing, "There are fewer people eating in the afternoon than at noon."

"The food at the second-floor window is quite good, and they usually keep it on discount to sell in the evening."

Wang Yuhe added, "You only need five yuan in the evening, for two meat dishes and two vegetables."

Jiang Nian: "Stop it, I’m feeling terrible not getting this deal."

"Help me! Jiang Nian!" Chen Yunyun shouted, "He’s targeting me, going rah rah rah, why is there a constant flash next to me?"

"Ah ah! Jiang Nian, you took my minions," Wang Yuhe was furious, "You’re so shameless, deliberately distracting me with conversation!"

Jiang Nian: "You guys take one for the team, it’s not a big deal, I’ll send you guys a red envelope later."

Chen Yunyun: "..... you."

Wang Yuhe: "..... so shameless."

After playing two games, Chen Yunyun kept dodging, while Wang Yuhe was the first to lose patience.

"The team said my Little Qiao isn’t even as good as a cannon minion!"

Jiang Nian: "To be honest, indeed....."

"Oh you! Jiang Nian, how can you say that!" Wang Yuhe was fuming, trembling with anger, "No way, I have to curse back!"

Even though Chen Yunyun tried to stop her, it was too late, Wang Yuhe had already opened the public chat.

...

Late at night, the girls’ dormitory, after the lights were out.

The roommates just came back from watching the drama next door and saw the inside of their dorm dark when they got to their door, only hearing a faint sobbing sound from within.

The few girls were stunned at that moment, their hair standing on end, as various horror movies about girl dorms played in their minds.

"Oh my, where’s this crying coming from?"

"Could it be that a senior from the previous year didn’t completely leave, and one or two stayed behind?"

"Don’t talk nonsense, seniors only stay in the boys’ dorms." A girl jumped in to debunk the rumor, "If such a thing happened, the school leaders would definitely organize a dorm swap between boys and girls."

"Don’t say that, back when I was in my first year of high school, I heard....."

"Oh my gosh, Chai Muying, stop talking!"

Chen Yunyun couldn’t hold back anymore, turned on her flashlight on the upper bunk, and somewhat helplessly patted the blanket of the bed adjacent to her, trying to soothe.

"Yuhe, don’t cry."

After saying that, she didn’t know what else to say to comfort her.

The roommates gathered around, and since Chai Muying was on good terms with the two girls, she asked with curiosity.

"Weren’t you playing games? Why are you crying now?"

Wang Yuhe poked her head out from under the blanket, wiping her tears while explaining.

"Got scolded by teammates, they said my play was worse than the pig trotters cooked by his grandma."

The roommates exchanged glances, "Did Jiang Nian scold you?"

"Not him, it was the other two matched in the team." Wang Yuhe cried, hiccuping, "I couldn’t curse back at them, and got laughed at."

"I..... I got anxious, cursed them back in Hakka, they..... they..... wu wu wu."

Chai Muying: "Did they curse at you again?"

"No, they....." Wang Yuhe started crying even more sorrowfully, "They left the game, said they won’t play with little Japs, wu wu wu!! I’m not....."

"....I’m not a little Jap, wu wu wu."

With those words, the people in the dorm collectively went silent for a few seconds, and then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha!!"

"Laughing to death, little Jap... that’s really too insulting."

"Where’s Jiang Nian, didn’t he help you, scold him!"

Wang Yuhe stopped crying, poked her head out again from under the thin blanket.

".....I can’t scold him."

"Why not, did Jiang Nian help you?"

"No, he laughed the loudest." Said Wang Yuhe as she cried and sniffled, "But, but he sent me a red envelope, I shamelessly..... accepted it."

Hearing this, the laughter in the dorm got even louder.

After the laughter subsided, Chai Muying began to talk about the gossip she had just gathered from all directions.

"This time it got serious, I heard the class teacher got scolded."

While Chen Yunyun listened intermittently while chatting with Jiang Nian, Wang Yuhe stopped crying, feeling happy upon hearing that Ji Jiayu was in a bad situation.

....

Early the next morning.

Jiang Nian splashed some cold water on his face to wake up a bit more.

Facial cleanser? What’s that?

Cold water is like a level ten skincare product; whether oily or dry skin, anyone can use it. At most, he’d use body wash to wash his face while showering.

Sulfur soap is kind of over the top, not quite medicine but almost, it’s like a nuclear attack on your skin.

When it comes to skincare products, he’ll just skimp on the face wash. The rest of the toiletries don’t need his consideration, that’s one of the perks of being a day student.

As usual, going to school alone, Jiang Nian arrived at the classroom early, as he normally did.

He didn’t feel at ease until his grades came out.

Jiang Nian didn’t expect Zhang Ningzhi to arrive even earlier; the young girl was sitting there dazed early in the morning. She clutched a pen in her hand, staring at the math book cover for quite a while without moving.

"You’re here so early?" Jiang Nian greeted, putting down his backpack.

"Yeah, woke up early," Zhang Ningzhi felt a slight heat on her cheeks, embarrassed to say she had been nervous all night, "There doesn’t seem to be many people in the class?"

"The big exams are over, with yesterday being a holiday, it’s not surprising not many people arrived early." He lay back in his chair, staring blankly at the fluorescent lights hanging above the empty classroom.

After a while, he sighed softly.

"Really don’t want to go to school in the morning, it’d be nice if morning self-study was canceled."

Zhang Ningzhi witnessed his inexplicable ritual and asked curiously.

"Why do you sigh every time you come into the classroom?"

"It’s nothing, just complaining about this crappy school," Jiang Nian took out his books and papers, with his motivation for school supported solely by the sight of beautiful girls.

"But it’s okay, morning reading isn’t really the main point."

Zhang Ningzhi instinctively asked, "Then what is?"

Jiang Nian didn’t reply, just propped his head up with his hand and glanced at her, then continued looking down at his test papers.

After two seconds of daze, Zhang Ningzhi blinked her eyes, letting her lashes slowly droop down. She was slowly beginning to comprehend the underlying meaning of their conversation bit by bit.

Her chest felt as if it was bubbling like an opened bottle of peach soda, gurgling outward one wave after another.

Could... could be that with others, he also likes talking to other girls.

It’s definitely like that.

Zhang Ningzhi, trying to cover herself, avoided looking at him again.

"Will the results be out today?"

"Should be, though maybe not all of them, but math should be out." Jiang Nian replied absentmindedly, still focused on reading his problem sets, without looking up, "You don’t need to worry."

"....None of us will be downgraded."

Zhang Ningzhi’s concern was touched upon, and she softly uttered a sound of acknowledgment.

Just avoiding being downgraded is fine.

Getting downgraded would mean being split up, separated from Yao Beibei, from the team leader and them. Fangfang is also quite nice, and then there’s him; whoever gets downgraded, it would be uncomfortable.

Seemingly to cater to her anxious mood, the English answer sheets and math answer sheets were handed out even before the morning reading ended.

Li Hua received his math answer sheet and flipped through it.

"146, Chi Shi did it, intentionally picking on me."

Zhang Ningzhi hadn’t yet received her paper, and when she turned her head to look, Jiang Nian also hadn’t received his. Her previously settled heart began to simmer restlessly again.

Zeng You, got his English answer sheet, took a glance, and saw a 67.

"Damn, how did I only score a 67? I even peeked at the person with glasses in front! He’s worse than what I did on my own!"

English papers and math papers were being handed out mixed together, in this science-focused Olympic class. It was like one moment of heaven, one moment of hell, upon receiving his English paper, Li Hua deflated.

"Damn, 69."

Hearing this, Zeng You stood up to look at Li Hua’s paper.

"Haha, team leader, you’re only two points more than me!"

Li Hua, feeling down, "How’d you do in math?"

Zeng You, smiling smugly, "136."

Seeing Li Hua not respond, Zeng You felt even more pleased, as the two exam papers were handed over. He leaned over to take a look, and instantly his expression turned pained.

Zhang Ningzhi scored 140 in English, Jiang Nian 143.

He helped pass them along, grumbling.

"Are they even human?"

Zhang Ningzhi glanced at her English paper, then at Jiang Nian’s. She couldn’t help but smile as relief gently washed over her heart.

"I scored above average this time!"

"Great, you’ll have 150 next time." Jiang Nian instinctively praised.

Turning his head, he saw Lin Dong holding a stack of math papers approaching. He openly stopped at Group Six before manually searching for two people’s test papers.

"Brother Nian, hang on, I saw you guys’ papers there."

"The results are quite decent."
