Chapter 258: Chapter 223 Although I like to talk during self-study, I know I am a good student

The whole class was standing for the English morning reading session.

Zhang Ningzhi switched seats with Li Hua during the morning reading session and stood behind Huang Fang’s desk. The two of them chatted quietly amidst the reading noise.

Jiang Nian initially thought they were discussing studies, but when he leaned in, he realized it was just idle talk.

He felt a bit stereotypical; even top students are just people.

Anyway, once you’re in this dreaded senior year, no one really avoids small talk.

However, for Jiang Nian, making small talk wasn’t really his intention.

Even though he often didn’t turn in homework, loved chatting during evening self-study, and occasionally went to the office to goof off, he knew he was a good student.

If he wasn’t allowed to chat, he would become Happy Superman.

Huang Fang was talking about the times she used to catch fish in the river as a child, her tone somewhat flat.

"The river was big back then, and the water quality was good. The fish we caught had tender meat. In the summer, people often went to the river to catch or stun fish."

"There were also mountain springs up on the hills, trickling down halfway and forming small pools among the rocks where you could catch shrimp and little crabs."

"But later on, it wasn’t the same. The river’s water level dropped, and the quality was bad. The fish you caught tasted muddy, so we could only eat the ones from our ponds."

"I also tried catching fish in a city park once, but I didn’t catch anything," Zhang Ningzhi said.

This surprised Jiang Nian, as Zhang Ningzhi looked like she had transferred from a big city, making it hard to associate her with fishing.

"How did you try to catch them?"

"With a net, you know, those often sold at park entrances." Zhang Ningzhi said earnestly, trying hard to emphasize her skills, even in catching park fish.

"I bought a pink net and was so close to catching one."

Jiang Nian was stunned; darling, isn’t this a child’s toy net?

But to be fair, if you’re fishing by the lake in a park, you could use bread to earn the fish’s trust and then surprise them with a small net.

When he shared his genius idea, half the group was staring directly at him.

He felt a bit guilty, "What’s wrong?"

Zhang Ningzhi remarked, "Your method is too sneaky. How could you deceive the fish?"

Jiang Nian replied nonchalantly.

"If someone as skilled as you can’t catch them, these aren’t ordinary fish. We have to go all out."

Zhang Ningzhi blinked, a bit dazed.

"It kind of makes sense."

Haha, Zhi Zhi baby is so cute. Such a nice girl should be well-protected, cherished, and kept hidden from other girlfriends.

Wu Jungu, hearing this, curiously asked.

"If you sink a big net in the water and sprinkle bread crumbs on top, and wait for the fish to gather, wouldn’t you be able to catch them all at once?"

He’s never fished, purely theorizing.

"That’s not likely. Large nets are heavy underwater." Fangfang started the lesson, "By the time you pull the net up, the fish would have all fled."

"Oh, I see." Wu Jungu felt a bit awkward.

"Wu Jungu is typically a young master who’s never caught fish." Zeng You looked up and said, "Unlike Jiang Nian, who even knows the artifact to block viruses."

On hearing this, Wu Jungu and Zeng You, who shared a dorm room, burst into laughter.

Li Hua was a bit baffled, not knowing what the joke was about.

"What artifact to block viruses?"

Zeng You smiled mysteriously, glanced at Wu Jungu, and said playfully.

"Ask Jiang Nian."

Li Hua turned to look at Jiang Nian, only to find this byd was already sitting down and focusing on his problems. It seemed he wasn’t planning to explain, leaving him as the outsider?

Damn, Chi Shi!

Halfway through the morning reading.

Chen Yunyun was reading Yilin; she had long finished memorizing her vocabulary. Filling in gaps doesn’t take long, but it was difficult to borrow extracurricular books in the class.

Books like Yilin, Duzhe, Youth Digest, and Inside & Outside the Classroom often circulated. Occasionally one might see Novels Illustrated, Flower Fire, or Story Club passing among the students.

The most sought-after was Story Club, which was primarily in the boys’ hands.

Chen Yunyun wanted to read it too, but had to wait, so she settled for an unfamiliar issue of Yilin. As she read, one article seemed increasingly absurd.

She turned to Wang Yuhe and couldn’t help but ask.

"Yuhe, in America, during a supermarket power outage, when they opened the gates and let people take items for free, would anyone really leave money on purpose?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yuhe, who was timing how long he could hold his breath, released it, paused for a moment, and said.

"No, our middle school teacher said that even if the power doesn’t go out, they don’t plan on paying."

Chen Yunyun nodded, finding it ridiculous yet surprisingly in line with her stereotypes of Western powers.

From behind, Sun Zhicheng chimed in.

"Actually, it’s pretty good over there; my cousin studied abroad there. She got her bag snatched on the street and got it back within an hour."

Chen Yunyun was astonished, "The public security is that good?"

"No, my cousin paid a bit to a local gang to get it back." Sun Zhicheng shrugged his eyebrows, "She added a bit more and had someone give the mugger a beating."

"La, so inclusive?" Lin Dong, hearing something fun, joined in, "We have an English test in the first two periods later, Ah Cheng, let me copy it."

Lin Dong had been in a good mood the last couple of days. Last week he made some money and this week he found out Yang Qiming has yet again got into a relationship. It was quite a pleasant surprise.

No more need for translation, this isn’t Nan Copper.

No longer needing to be wary of cousin Qiming every day, because he’s just like the rest. As long as he likes women, we’re on the same team.

"No way, do it yourself!" Sun Zhicheng refused outright.

Lin Dong shrugged, unconcerned.

"Then I’ll ask cousin Qiming, I don’t feel like doing English."

With that, he turned and tapped on Yang Qiming’s desk, speaking affectionately.

"Cousin, let me copy your English."

"OK, no problem." Yang Qiming agreed readily, the weekly test wasn’t monitored strictly, "I’ve got you covered. I’ll pass you the note after I finish my choice questions."

Yang Qiming was in a good mood too, life goes up and down, up and up.

Brothers are also feeling good again.

The wound of betrayal never heals, unless you get into a new relationship. Now he’s kind of hooked on chatting with "An’an," not investing real feelings, just passing time.

She might be a green tea, a bit practical.

So what?

Friend, don’t you spend money on Genshin Impact?

A 648, spent my grandpa’s subsistence allowance, ended up not getting the guaranteed drop.

Then..... would a quick-footed mountain dog dream of a lovely sister to game with, send sweet voice messages, photos, and video calls?

And these don’t need a 648, just a cup of milk tea settles it.

What’s this green tea? It’s clearly a cost-effective helpful sister.

Feeling delighted, love and brotherhood are both fulfilled.

Seeing their sweet interaction, Sun Zhicheng felt a bit suffocated inside.

On the battlefield of love, if having Jiang Nian as a strong rival wasn’t enough, how come the brothers also have someone doing the running?

"Ahem."

He coughed, tugged at Lin Dong, lowered his voice, and asked.

"Did Yang Qiming win the lottery recently?"

"Oh, no, he didn’t." Lin Dong shook his head.

"All right then." Sun Zhicheng heaved a sigh of relief.

"He fell in love."

"Jumped, not alive anymore." Sun Zhicheng’s face immediately fell, then he heated up, "No, Brother Dong, I’m not jealous or anything, just purely discussing."

"Huh?"

"Discussing, in a straightforward kind of way." Sun Zhicheng’s face reddened further, he gestured anxiously, "This matter, assuming it’s unrelated to anyone in our class."

"Oh?"

"Someone fell in love, unrelated, hmm, not pointing fingers." Sun Zhicheng gritted his teeth, "Brother Dong, you’d say, the person’s significant other must be quite ugly, right!"

"Wait, I have a picture of his significant other." Lin Dong took out his phone, clicked on photo albums to find category x.

Sun Zhicheng, eager, didn’t pay attention to why Lin Dong had a photo of Yang Qiming’s significant other. Logically, no one should keep such electronic information.

"Let me see."

He leaned in to take a look, his face turning even redder.

"This girl must have some problem, born with defects, yes..... I’ve heard of people who approach disabled individuals under the guise of care."

"Here’s something normal, I even have a video of his significant other dancing." Lin Dong scrolled through the album, silently playing a clip of an energetic young girl’s dance.

Sun Zhicheng slumped in his chair, eyes vacant, muttering.

"His significant other..... is a decent woman?"

"Heard she studies at the City’s Number One High School, although it can’t compare to Number Two High School, her grades aren’t bad." Lin Dong continued adding to the blow, jabbing repeatedly.

"Her friend is also quite good-looking, just doesn’t dance well, but her singing is passable."

Sun Zhicheng had exhausted all his strength and means, and he really wanted to kneel before Lin Dong. Beg him to give him a contact referral.

But once he thought of Chen Yunyun, he resolutely gave up.

A single heart can’t accommodate two people.

As a child, he had heard the story of the monkey losing the watermelon while picking up sesame seeds, sometimes the best friend is right beside you, and the one you like is just at the front desk, this is happiness.

Suddenly, he heard Lin Dong say.

"Her friend’s chest is really big."

Sun Zhicheng’s face turned green, unable to hold back, he lay on the desk twitching intensely.

He lost the watermelon.

Lost!

Curious, Lin Dong, after admiring the photo, shook Sun Zhicheng.

"Ah Cheng, what’s wrong with you?"

"Nothing, just remembered something sad." Sun Zhicheng rubbed his face over and over, still choosing to face life with a smile.

....

Morning reading concluded.

The first English test of the morning, the hallways were filled with people going to relieve themselves.

After all, exams were two hours straight, it was possible to step out midway, but raising your hand to go to the bathroom was troublesome.

Jiang Nian went to the bathroom just before the bell rang, and on his way back, he saw Chen Yunyun and Wang Yuhe coming up from another staircase, and couldn’t help but be curious.

"Where did you guys go?"

"To the bathroom." Chen Yunyun said, "Every time before an exam, there’s always a long line at the ladies’ room, but the one at the administration building is usually empty."

"I see. Won’t you run into any teachers?" Jiang Nian asked again.

"Just say you’re looking for the class advisor, he has an office in that building too." Chen Yunyun wasn’t fazed at all, "Actually, no one really cares."

Soon, the three all saw Qianbao holding exam papers at the end of the hallway and immediately fell silent, quickly slipping back into the classroom.
