Chapter 199: Chapter 169: The Road is So Clean, Let’s Just Sleep in the Middle of It
Under the softly glowing streetlamp.
The late-night snack stall was hiding behind the owner’s tricycle.
Jiang Nian watched Xu Qianqian’s lively expression, thinking how beautiful her heart-shaped face was. When she smiled, there was a faint little dimple by her mouth.
"Alright, I scored 124 in math. What do you want to eat tomorrow? Order anything you like." Jiang Nian broke open a pack of disposable wooden chopsticks and rubbed them back and forth.
"I have nothing else, just money."
If he could, he wanted to treat Xu Qianqian to late-night snacks for a lifetime.
But since early romance isn’t encouraged in our country, he would compromise and treat her to a full blanket instead.
So, baby, do you like a big blanket!
"Who cares about your money..." Xu Qianqian lifted her head, her long lashes seemingly embedded with a piece of amber, full of confidence, "I’ll earn my own in the future."
"Yes, you’re amazing." Jiang Nian knew she would indeed make more money in the future.
"124 is okay, but it’s indeed a little progress." Xu Qianqian analyzed, "120 points already count as a solid basic level."
"Level? You’re not grading people by their scores, are you?" Jiang Nian questioned.
"Huh?....How.....how could that be, you’re overthinking." Xu Qianqian tried to pretend everything was fine, her gaze evasive, "How could you have such a ridiculous idea?"
Jiang Nian didn’t dare to imagine how this girl used to see him.
Oh dear, four hundred-plus points garbage has spoken?
Do you occasionally eat pig feed too?
When no one is watching, do you sometimes walk on all fours?
So vicious, damn!
Being chastised by a top student sure is hard-hitting, but scoring over 120 did indeed cross a not-so-easy threshold, making things a bit smoother.
At least, it’s at an excellent level.
"Handsome guy, Fuding meat slices are ready."
The boss came over carrying a serving tray with two bowls of Fuding meat slices sprinkled with green onions.
"The chili is over here, and cilantro radish is available too."
"Okay."
Jiang Nian noticed Xu Qianqian didn’t open her chopsticks immediately but arranged the radish and chili from a small disposable box one by one, and couldn’t help but feel curious.
"What are you doing?"
"Can’t you see?" Xu Qianqian showed a fierce yet cute expression, "This is the execution ground; they’re about to be beheaded by me."
Jiang Nian was stupefied, about to witness a beheading.
But he was relieved that Xu Qianqian had the same taste as him, eating cilantro, chili, and radish.
The good thing was they wouldn’t need much convincing when eating together, and they wouldn’t have to separate their food.
Gently tell the owner she doesn’t eat cilantro.
Just one sentence, "Add everything, add more."
What? There’s nothing!
If you have nothing, why open a snack stall, ridiculous! No way, add whatever you have! We won’t suffer a loss, even roadside dirt would do; we want it all!
Oh right, boss, give me two gulps of gas too.
"Half each, don’t steal the cilantro." Jiang Nian, at times, was very straightforward, like after a big exam, "Do you know how many points I scored? 590."
"Jiang Nian, do you want to know what my total score is?" Xu Qianqian’s eyes were filled with anticipation.
"Not really." Jiang Nian was speechless.
"I can reveal the first two numbers, don’t get too reactive." Xu Qianqian’s lips curled slightly, making a six gesture, then paused again.
Alright, Jiang Nian got it.
Xu Qianqian never gestured for seven; after leaving five fingers, she only knew six, eight, nine. Her eyes filled with intelligence, yet she pondered foolishly like a fool.
"Jiang Nian, do you know what number is between six and eight?"
"It’s a 698 haircut and blow-dry."
Xu Qianqian knew Jiang Nian was jealous of her score, so she enjoyed the late-night snack even more, blowing on the soup.
"It’s okay, having low grades is kind of cute too."
"Chi Shi!" Jiang Nian couldn’t recall the number of times he’d heard this phrase, feeling a bit embarrassed, "Next time, I’ll score 600, only ten points away."
The road is so clean, I really want to lie down and sleep in the middle.
"Yeah, yeah, let’s try again next time at the joint exam." Xu Qianqian said nonchalantly as she added chili to the local Fuding meat slices, "At the Six Cities joint exam, you’ll definitely make it."
Jiang Nian was about to be flustered with heat; any more and he’d jump out of a window.
"Just you wait."
"Take it slow, why put such pressure on yourself?" Xu Qianqian was somewhat puzzled. She clearly had the upper hand, but she didn’t intend to oppress him.
"People fight for their pride, Xu Qianqian." Jiang Nian said calmly.
"....Huh?" Xu Qianqian was bewildered too.
But people’s spirit and energy are indeed important; she didn’t want to say anything demoralizing to discourage Jiang Nian. It’s not good for Jiang Nian to score below 600 either.
Who knows, he might find another Zhou Yuting...
Forget it, let’s not talk about it.
There’s no way around it.
.....
The next morning during early study.
Jiang Nian looked exhausted, having not slept well last night, his fighting spirit so high it led to insomnia.
For some reason, anything involving Xu Qianqian seemed to take on a challenge label too, wanting to see her fall behind.
Desire to conquer? Not really, nothing that.....
To attract her attention? He thought he should already be quite noticeable.
Perhaps he wanted to get a bit closer, that might be it.
He wasn’t up all night studying, leading to bad spirits. Precisely speaking, he intended to swipe through some real questions on TikTok before sleep, but ended up scrolling through seductive black silk content.
["What you might want to search"], too malicious.
However, the lustful thoughts didn’t dominate him for long, just led to a less rested sleep. Didn’t need to eliminate fatigue; he thought he’d save his energy for the afternoon.
Lying down a bit should suffice, during Tuesday’s morning Chinese class, a short nap didn’t seem too problematic.
Eliminating fatigue has a side effect: being energetic but lacking the sense of satisfaction from a full sleep. Good for perking up in the afternoon, but best to sleep whenever possible otherwise.
Living is about enjoyment; without pleasure, life would feel meaningless.
Zhang Ningzhi turned around to look at him three times, wanting to remind him not to sleep. But considering the exams were over, the mutual supervision agreement was voided.
Too bad, wanted to trick him into forging another agreement.
What do boys like?
She pondered conflictedly, a whole morning passed. Looking at Jiang Nian’s small tuft of hair sticking up, the morning sun at eight streamed through the window.
Someone’s hair, along with that tuft, turned a light brown.
Zhang Ningzhi was astonished, couldn’t resist using her fingertip to touch that tuft of hair. Her finger pressed gently, pushing it down only for it to spring right back up with obstinacy.
And just then, Jiang Nian woke up.
He looked at the guilty Zhang Ningzhi, a bit dumbfounded, why did Zhi Zhi look so sneaky? Had she, while he was asleep, stealthily drawn a watch on him?
Jiang Nian checked his wrist; no pen drawings were found.
Forget it, after a good rest, his whole being felt relaxed.
The desk was a bit small, affecting his ability to stretch his arms and legs, but he was too lazy to go out to the hallway, so he made some peculiar moves.
"Nian, this posture, did you drop some money?" Li Hua joked.
Jiang Nian couldn’t be bothered to talk to him, it was all due to his bad influence. Once a pure lotus, now almost tainted into a yellow osmanthus blossom.
"Get lost, don’t disturb my stretching."
"Haha, your stretch is quite unique." Li Hua turned around, suddenly feeling an urge to pee, "Want to go to the bathroom? I have some juicy news to share."
"Is there a massive sale on loofahs at the supermarket?"
"Wrong guess, it’s corn." Li Hua stood up, "Pfft, nonsense, it’s about who will be changing classes; I already know the answer."
Hearing this, Jiang Nian paused for a few seconds before getting up.
"Let’s go."
The bell rang, and the two were leisurely making their way to the restroom.
Class had started, and then?
The goal was the solitude of an empty restroom, to discuss some private matters with no one around.
Li Hua purposely took the opposite end to Jiang Nian, totally distanced like one in Antarctica and one in the Arctic, leaving Jiang Nian speechless.
"Are you a bit short?"
"Nonsense!" Li Hua blushed, "Guys need privacy too, you know? If you keep staring at me, I won’t be able to pee."
Jiang Nian pondered for a moment, "Less discharge."
"Chi Shi, Chi Shi, Chi Shi!!" Li Hua shifted the topic forcefully, "Do you know who’s changing classes? There’ll be entertainment to watch."
"Who?"
"Yu Zhiyi from the class next door, Wu Jungu’s girlfriend." Li Hua said with a wiggle of his eyebrows, yet Jiang Nian had no reaction.
He pulled up his pants, looking at Li Hua with an odd gaze.
"Who the entertainment is for remains to be seen."
Li Hua, feeling guilty under his stare, pulled up his pants too.
"What’s it got to do with me?"
"Oh dear, nothing to do with you." Jiang Nian’s lips gradually curled upward, yet he didn’t elaborate further, instead changing the topic, "So who is the other one?"
Logically, only shifting one person is needed to break up a pair, but this time it was unheard of to remove both, seemingly due to someone’s deliberate efforts.
The one remaining in the current class has the advantage, as the storm will pass and in-class stature provides comfort, silence for a while is all that’s needed.
This remaining person must be the favored one, but Lao Liu is genuinely mad. He doesn’t want to keep any; he sends them all away.
Or perhaps he brought back Yu Zhiyi?
Of course, all Jiang Nian knows is that she’s nice looking, other details are unknown. Even though they both attended Qingbao’s biology class, they barely spoke.
So, commenting isn’t convenient.
"The other I don’t know; I heard it was someone elevated from class one." Li Hua scratched his head.
His hands unwashed, truly mixing the big and small heads together.
"Really going Chi Shi, Hua." Jiang Nian washed his hands and scorned, "Your information gathering ability is even worse than that of the old lady downstairs."
"Who would I ask for information late at night?" Li Hua retorted, promptly added with a grin, "Maybe after the big break parade, the new student will have seamlessly taken their place."
After the parade ended.
Jiang Nian, in a group, went upstairs and met Yu Zhiyi’s gaze outside the class. Not really acquainted but at least recognized her; the other one definitely aroused criminal thoughts.
Zhou Yuting stood outside the class, her desk in view. Her eyes met Jiang Nian’s as he returned from the parade, they stared at each other for five or six seconds.
When passing by each other, both lowered their voices almost simultaneously, sharing the same sentiment.
"Idiot!" (Bastard!)
