Chapter 190: Chapter 161: Want to Be a Little More Reserved

Sure, here is the translation:

Nice, this word inherently carries a sense of comparison.

Lin Dong, who was flipping through the answer sheets while playing favorites, casually uttered this word. Given their relationship, it clearly wasn’t just said casually.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian immediately understood the situation.

At least a hundred and twenty.

Plus, Lin Dong used the word "you" in the plural form. This clearly referred to Zhang Ningzhi, so it’s reasonable to assume Zhang Ningzhi scored at least a hundred and thirty.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Found it!"

Lin Dong pulled out two answer sheets and handed them to Jiang Nian, taking a quick glance in the process.

"124, 138. Your group is impressive."

Without even looking, Jiang Nian handed the 138 answer sheet to Zhang Ningzhi. Then, admiring his own 124 math paper repeatedly, as if it were a piece of fine jade.

Being in a non-parallel class, it’s hard to understand the joy of scoring a hundred and twenty in math.

He had been grinding away at questions for a month, though the efficiency wasn’t high. Half of his math score in this exam came from the accumulated practice over this period.

The other half was due to some luck, as he encountered a familiar question. Also, the boost from Zhang Ningzhi’s dreamlike guidance, a cramming-style practice that clarified problem-solving strategies.

Jiang Nian really wasn’t that interested in math; talent is a hard thing to explain. Anyway, after the college entrance exams, he definitely wouldn’t stubbornly choose a science and engineering major.

Thinking too far ahead, he came back to his senses, suddenly realizing it was quiet around him.

Something’s not right, did he enter some weirdly spooky scenario?

He quietly turned his head and found Zhang Ningzhi looking at him with a worried expression. He was puzzled; what was going on, he wasn’t dead yet.

"What’s wrong?"

Zhang Ningzhi pursed her lips and seriously said.

"124 is really great too."

Jiang Nian couldn’t hold it back, "What the.... even small things can be cute!"

Can you please hide your 138 answer sheet before saying that!

No, he actually didn’t care about his math score.

His dream wasn’t to go to Harbin Institute of Technology and play with welding. Even though this dream is quite decent, that’s the dream of Li Hua, that super gloomy individual.

He never thought of becoming the astronaut for Hi-Chew, or getting a smack from his grandma.

His math score just needed to be neither too good nor too bad; of course, the higher, the better.

But! As everyone knows... it’s just for the sake of the college entrance exam.

In short, Jiang Nian was someone who took exams just for the sake of taking exams, a person without dreams. A pragmatic person, an elite in exam-oriented education.

He wouldn’t be bothered by his score; a hundred and twenty indeed met his expectations.

"I wasn’t, I just..... admired it for a bit," Jiang Nian reluctantly told the truth to avoid further misunderstanding.

"Oh, I see." Zhang Ningzhi covered her face.

She thought Jiang Nian was devastated by his low score. Fortunately, he wasn’t; it seemed he was quite satisfied with his score, having a gradual improvement mindset was indeed good.

Jiang Nian didn’t forget to take a look at the class monitor’s score; upon seeing it start with 14, he quietly stepped back.

Truly impressive, a natural talent in science.

He wondered what Xu Qianqian’s score was; if she did poorly, it might start with 13. But more likely, it would start with 14, an overwhelming number.

After morning study sessions, only some students slumped over in class.

Some were happy, some were sad, and those slumped over might not actually be asleep. Who knows, under the desk, they might be grinning and joking, secretly emoing.

People like Li Hua, the gloomy ones, started loudly cursing the grading teachers before morning self-study ended.

"Purely intentional fault-finding, insisted on docking a few points from me."

Once morning self-study was over, Li Hua gathered his friends and headed to the cafeteria.

"Let’s go, grab some food. I just don’t get it, was it necessary to deduct those four points?"

Jiang Nian laid down as well, but turned his head towards Zhang Ningzhi. Peeking secretly, why did she seem not tired at all, was she correcting her English test paper?

Good students are really boring, like in manga...

His eyelids slowly drooped, feeling a bit sleepy after being tense all morning. The last second before his eyelids completely closed, he seemed to catch Zhi Zhi baby turning her head.

Never mind, too sleepy.

Zhang Ningzhi stole a glance at him, feeling a bit guilty. She wanted to take out his math answer sheet to analyze it and see if she could figure anything out.

But he treasured that answer sheet too much, pressing it down while sleeping.

His face was even pressed against it, giving no chance at all.

Finally, she fished out a box of milk from her bag and silently placed it in Jiang Nian’s drawer. Originally, she hadn’t planned on bringing it to him; the exam was over, and so was their agreement.

She just didn’t feel like drinking it herself suddenly, generously bestowing it upon him.

The first and second periods were both English classes, and Jiang Nian listened half-asleep.

Then it was math class; because of the good exam, he surprisingly listened attentively from start to finish.

Noon, returning from the cafeteria.

Jiang Nian went back to the classroom, leaning over the railing, drinking the milk given by Zhang Ningzhi. Looking at the gloomy sky, he squinted slightly, starting to anticipate the afternoon’s answer sheets.

Each subject’s teacher had marked the scores on the answer sheets, and once he collected the sheets for all six subjects, he would begin registering the scores.

Chen Yunyun appeared at the end of the corridor, walking towards Jiang Nian.

"How did you do in the exam?"

Although the two had a good relationship, recently Chen Yunyun seemed more reserved. If it were when they first got to know each other, during the honeymoon period, she would have gone across half the class to check his scores.

And then occupied Li Hua’s seat, chatted away for half a day, and then returned for class.

Now, it seemed like they had entered a cold period, couldn’t their feelings stand the test?

A bit of a player, Chen Yunyun.

"Not bad, English..." He reported his scores one by one and then naturally asked back, "Slag... I mean, how about you?"

Chen Yunyun actually wanted to check Jiang Nian’s test paper at lunchtime, but she held back. She didn’t know why, she just suddenly wanted to be a bit more reserved.

Occasionally, she would overthink, wondering if she didn’t ask, he would not tell.

She said, "Both subjects are over a hundred and thirty."

After speaking, the atmosphere suddenly fell into silence.

Chen Yunyun’s heart wobbled; maybe he didn’t care about her score at all. Maybe he was too indifferent about whether she asked or not, it’s all her own wishful thinking...

"And then?" Jiang Nian asked.

"What?" She turned her head, momentarily stunned.

"Are you being shady?" Jiang Nian stared at her, "I told you the exact scores, and you just give me a vague ’both subjects are over a hundred and thirty’."

"Ah, are you a pervert? Fishing for my true scores, going back to your seat to add them up so that they’re higher than mine, secretly gloating during lunch break, is that it?"

Chen Yunyun: "...No."

"If not, then what is it? Bad mood?" Jiang Nian glanced at her, "Saw you coming from the hallway over there, totally absent-minded."

"Math 134, English 138, fairly average."

The smile disappeared from Jiang Nian’s face, he would never smile again.

"You... damn."

The smile reappeared on Chen Yunyun’s face, just like usual.

"Have you corrected your answer sheets? Let me have a look?"

"Corrected with a black pen."

Chen Yunyun: ".....Just like you."

She turned her head to look at the low-rise buildings in the distant county, realizing she might have thought a bit..... too far ahead.
