Chapter 212: Chapter 182 It seems like something is about to come out, this damn....

Hu Nianzhong carried his tray through the corridor on the other side of the cafeteria and casually glanced over to see Jiang Nian and his group.

He often silently observed others in the class, including Jiang Nian and his friends.

Seeing Chen Yunyun, Wang Yuhe, and Jiang Nian eating together wasn’t surprising, but he couldn’t help feeling a tinge of envy. Their relationship was really good.

Putting down his tray, Hu Nianzhong shifted his gaze to Yu Tongjie’s face.

"Aren’t you eating?"

"No, I don’t have much of an appetite right now." Yu Tongjie was eager to finalize the negotiations and had no mind for food. "Just say what you want."

Hu Nianzhong wasn’t in a rush to answer; he knew that asking for more than two thousand would be illegal.

Being too outrageous would definitely cause problems, risking more trouble than it’s worth. But dealing with someone so dismissive, not taking advantage felt wrong.

Finally, he looked up and said,

"I want a pair of shoes."

.....

"Isn’t that request a bit presumptuous? What kind of person do you think I am?"

Lin Dong was eating on the first floor of the cafeteria, where the crowd was denser than on the second floor. He had just heard Huang Caicai’s request and almost spat out his food.

"Investigating Qiming’s cousin’s ex-girlfriend, do you think I’m some cheap Conan kid?"

Huang Caicai was a bit anxious, scratching his head as he said,

"Brother, please help out!"

"It’s not that simple, how am I supposed to help?" Lin Dong was bewildered, "I can’t just find his girlfriend and directly ask if she has a new boyfriend, can I?"

"Can’t you?" Huang Caicai asked.

"Chi Shi!" Lin Dong was a bit speechless. "If you give me half a month, once I add her QQ, I’ll ask her all about the color of her underwear."

Huang Caicai couldn’t hold back, what a chatterbox.

"Brother, we only have two days."

"Two days, you’d better find someone else." Lin Dong lowered his head to eat.

He was fearful Huang Caicai would regret it and forcibly retrieve the meat from his bowl.

The reason for this worry was that Huang Caicai could indeed pull such a stunt. The guys from their last dorm were all daring and eccentric.

"Don’t give up, Brother Yang is really pitiful!" Huang Caicai thought about the day after tomorrow, and how Yang Qiming would not only face despair but also have his shrimp dumplings eaten by him.

Suddenly, a deep sense of guilt enveloped him, making it hard to breathe.

"Brother Dong, give it another shot, use your charm."

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong looked up, with his mouth still full of meat.

"Huh? You go find Jiang Nian."

"I’m not familiar with him, besides this kind of thing would piss off Brother Yang if he knew." Huang Caicai was extremely frustrated, even leaving a few bites of food on his tray to show his sadness.

Lin Dong buried his head in his meal, his cheeks bulging with food.

"I %￥#@."

"What?"

.....

Chen Yunyun and her group returned to the dorm after fetching hot water, saying they wanted to collect their laundry.

Planning to rest in the dorm for a while, Jiang Nian couldn’t go up, so he had to return to the classroom first. To be honest, he was a bit curious about what the girls’ dorm looked like.

Currently, Jiang Nian had explored about half of the secret realm of the North District. Eating whenever he wanted in the dormitory cafeteria, he was almost like a boarding student.

When would the leaders arrange for Jiang Nian to move into the girls’ dormitory?

Someday, he’d go to Eggplant Novel Website and write a book titled "I Have an Apartment in the Girls’ Dormitory." He had to split the word "apartment" to give the impression of being adept at punctuation.

Half an hour before evening study, Jiang Nian entered the classroom.

Looking around, he saw only Huang Fang and the class monitor in that circle of seats. Li Hua and Ma Guojun were nowhere to be found, probably still playing basketball from the afternoon.

After sitting down, he turned his head to the monitor behind him.

In the brightly lit classroom, Li Qingrong was wearing a jacket in black, purple, and grey patches today.

Autumn was neither cold nor hot, with occasionally windy days, a jacket with an undershirt was suitable.

"Class monitor, your jacket looks really nice," Jiang Nian sincerely praised, "I think it’s quite androgynous, I feel I could wear it too."

Li Qingrong looked up at him upon hearing this.

"You want to wear it?"

"Well, uh... don’t take it off, I was just kidding." Jiang Nian was startled by her motion of unzipping, and he explained, "I just think it’s good-looking."

"Okay." Li Qingrong was obviously pleased.

Jiang Nian wasn’t quite sure how he could tell that the class monitor was happy, as there was no obvious change in her expression; it just... felt like she was happy.

He picked up the glass teacup on the table and took a sip of water, his gaze falling on Ma Guojun’s desk. There was a black metal mesh pen holder with only two pens inside.

Looking at the large space, he impulsively pulled out one of Li Hua’s pens.

With a whoosh, the pen spun in the air and fell into the pen holder with a thud.

Seeing this, Jiang Nian chuckled.

He leaned forward, starting to gather every pen from Li Hua’s drawer. He even took the pencils, finding a total of six pens, tossing them into the pen holder one by one.

After a while, he finished tossing them all in.

Jiang Nian wanted to laugh again when suddenly a pen was handed over from behind.

He froze, turned around, and saw Li Qingrong looking at him. She seemed puzzled as to why he didn’t take it, and pushed the pen forward again, indicating it was her own pen.

"No need, I won’t throw it now," Jiang Nian explained.

"Okay." Li Qingrong quickly pulled the pen back.

Soon after, Zhang Ningzhi returned.

"Move aside."

"Oh, okay." Jiang Nian behaved normally and conscientiously leaned forward.

"Hmm?" Zhang Ningzhi felt something was off instinctively, yet couldn’t pinpoint what it was. After returning to her seat, she curiously asked, "Did you have lunch this afternoon?"

"Yes, I did," Jiang Nian replied casually, then asked, "By the way, didn’t you and Yao Beibei go feed the chickens?"

"No, Beibei said Lin Dong didn’t let her bring any food. No reason to feed a missing chicken." Zhang Ningzhi blushed, "We went to the store at the front gate and ate. The chicken noodle soup was so good."

Jiang Nian nodded, "Nice, divine agricultural physique."

Zhang Ningzhi felt somewhat embarrassed by his words. Her best girlfriend was somewhat eccentric, and her deskmate was on the extreme end, giving her the feeling of being surrounded by clowns.

She shook her head to steer the conversation back on track, discreetly hinting,

"Did you go eat with Lin Dong?"

Jiang Nian thought for a moment, "More or less."

"Huh?"

"Not Lin Dong, but Lin Dong’s group member." He was quite frank, "Had lunch with Chen Yunyun and them. It was a free meal, quite enjoyable."

Zhang Ningzhi turned away, not in the mood to talk to him. She thought to herself about his happiness, feeling a bit annoyed.

A few minutes later, with evening study approaching, Li Hua also returned.

His first reaction was to find his book. He reached for the desk but suddenly erupted with a sharp cry.

"What the hell! Where are my pens?"

Simultaneously, Ma Guojun also shouted.

"Whose stupid pens are these?"

Jiang Nian looked down at his book; a day at school was so damn hard. To bloom like a lotus in the mud, he thrived in staying low profile.

Li Hua retrieved all seven pens immediately, suspecting Jiang Nian as the first.

"Was it you?"

Jiang Nian shook his head, looking utterly confused.

"No idea."

...

Sun Zhicheng looked up at the incandescent light tubes in the classroom.

During the evening self-study, the class was densely packed with students.

He squinted his eyes and pulled a piece of gum from his pocket, popping it into his mouth. It was a tip he learned from a short video, one of the ten ways to boost charisma.

Chewing gum was said to enhance facial muscles and create a cooler appearance. The video even used Michael Jordan as an example, making it seem undeniable.

The moment he started chewing, Sun Zhicheng’s mind suddenly clicked, like a bolt of lightning through his brain.

Something seemed to be emerging!

Charisma, damned charisma!

The sweet flavor of the gum exploded between his lips and teeth, and the chewing motion involuntarily leveled his gaze. His eyelids slightly drooped, giving a sense of arrogance towards the world.

It emerged! Confidence emerged!

Sun Zhicheng turned to look at a corner of the classroom, meeting Yu Tongjie’s gaze.

Idiot!

He didn’t even know why he found Yu Tongjie so annoying, perhaps it was because his gaze was unsettling. What are you looking at, your dad? What a strange look!

Chewing away, Sun Zhicheng suddenly felt parched.

After the evening self-study, he was still chewing.

After the first evening class, he continued chewing.

Sun Zhicheng’s astonishing perseverance went unnoticed, and frankly, his cheek muscles were getting a bit sore.

He was waiting for Chen Yunyun to turn around, not for any other reason, just to be acknowledged.

Zhou Yuting was there too, why didn’t she glance at him? Wang Yuhe... Wang Yuhe was a bit too competitive, getting her attention wasn’t a good thing.

Alright, someone, anyone, come look at me.

Brother Dong... Brother Dong would do, I’m right next to you. Damn it! One class is over, and you haven’t even glanced at me, brat!

Yet, no one noticed.

He continued to chew the gum alone like a warrior endlessly practicing his sword through winter and spring.

The bell rang, signaling the start of class, and he understood something; he had been too narrow-minded. Chewing gum wasn’t meant to attract someone else’s attention. Wasn’t he still striving without Chen Yunyun’s notice?

No, he would keep moving forward, this was the story of a young man from Zhennan County becoming a southern heartthrob! Like a song composed for no one in particular, growing in solitude.

The surroundings grew quiet, yet he persisted in chewing.

Sick of it!

Zhou Yuting was pulling her hair, her knuckles pale as she gripped her pen.

What kind of bizarre individuals are in the back row of this classroom? Why are such oddballs everywhere?

They chewed noisily for an entire class! Could they just die?

The guy in the dark corner, really wanting to sew his mouth shut.

Is everyone else around him deaf? Even pigs eating in their trough weren’t this loud.

So damn annoying!!!

She really wanted to stand up and curse, but she was just a newcomer. Having been in the class only a few days since her promotion, she didn’t have the guts to cause conflict with the local students and could only swallow her anger.

Lin Dong was hiding behind the bookshelf, playing on his phone—technically making money.

He had two WeChat accounts, and during his chatting days, he had added many girls. Posting some ads didn’t affect anything, nor did it tarnish his image.

Today, he had made twenty-five yuan in one go, just the first step in harvesting the rewards. He was waiting for midnight to come and planned to invest money after upgrading.

At worst, he’d lose only a few hundred bucks.

Of course, this kind of thing had bad implications, and he had only told Jiang Nian. It’s a small way of reaping benefits but could turn dangerous, so it had to stay confidential.

Thinking of tonight’s windfall, he couldn’t help but tap his leg in rhythm with Sun Zhicheng’s chewing.

Zhou Yuting was collapsing; she desperately covered her ears. Was someone over there slaughtering pigs? If you can’t handle it, get more people. Why are they in sync now?

Could someone just come and stop them?

Yang Qiming was lost in beautiful memories of his past with his ex-girlfriend, when suddenly the sound of tapping legs and chewing interrupted him. He immediately frowned and spoke up in annoyance.

"Who is it? Whose pig got lost and is chewing there?"

Instantly, the classroom fell silent.

Sun Zhicheng lowered his head, his face full of embarrassment. He could even feel the piercing stares from around him. Although he wasn’t that close to Yang Qiming, they had talked before.

From Lin Dong, he also learned that Yang Qiming had broken up with his girlfriend recently.

Despite the awkwardness, his heart was filled with anger.

He really wanted to loudly retort to Yang Qiming, saying something like, "Others have already kissed their tongues in, and you still can’t move on," words that cut to the core.

But considering they were classmates, Sun Zhicheng restrained his inner demon.

However, Yang Qiming didn’t stop, yelling,

"Sun Zhicheng, stop chewing your damn gum, people might think you’re epileptic!"

Hearing this, Sun Zhicheng’s suppressed fury surged once more.

He was angry, the Buddha in his heart furrowed his brow, the demon prevailed, killing off the last shred of reason.

"Is it my chewing that’s loud or the sound of your ex-girlfriend making out with someone else?"
