Chapter 299: Chapter 263: Originally Honest, Now Even More Honest

Under the night sky, the rain threads grew more numerous.

Jiang Nian glanced back; the well-lit senior year teaching building was still clear in the rain. The vague outlines of umbrellas surged from afar towards the school gate.

Soon, Zhao Qiuxue arrived.

Xu Qianqian squeezed past Jiang Nian, holding hands with Song Xiyun as they huddled under the umbrella. Many people were pouring out, and the blue umbrella bobbed uncertainly.

Jiang Nian didn’t go over but watched for a while, then took out his phone to pass the time.

Since the rain wasn’t heavy, it didn’t have much impact on the boarding students.

Chen Yunyun sent him a photo, apparently taken on the second floor of the cafeteria. Both girls seemed to have gotten wet but were laughing incessantly.

Swoosh, a message popped up.

"Left the umbrella in the dorm, didn’t take it to the classroom, got all wet."

"Do you have an umbrella?"

No need to ask, she already confessed.

Jiang Nian was empty-handed, but he looked towards the blurry, shifting blue umbrellas in the rain. Xu Qianqian was standing there, talking to Song Xiyun about something.

He turned his gaze back and typed a reply.

"Brought an umbrella."

"Did you guys go to the cafeteria to fetch the hot water bottles?"

Chen Yunyun and her friends usually fill the hot water in the afternoon and place it on the long steps outside the cafeteria. After evening self-study, they take it back to the dorms on the way.

"Yes, I don’t know if I should wash my hair tonight, still hesitating."

"Lots of people queued outside the hot water room, [picture]."

"Your hair won’t dry, will it?"

"Right."

Jiang Nian and Chen Yunyun exchanged a few texts, when he noticed the blue umbrella was moving back, so he put his phone in his pocket.

A few seconds later, Xu Qianqian came over.

She tossed the umbrella to Jiang Nian, dramatically saying,

"I’m fragile, can’t get a drop of rain. If I get wet, you’ll be in big trouble!"

Jiang Nian took the umbrella handle, raising the blue canopy slightly.

He smiled, amused.

"Mr. Xu, what kind of big trouble?"

Xu Qianqian sneered, raising her fist.

"I’ll take your life right here!"

The rain had been falling for a while now, making the road home slippery.

Jiang Nian was slightly taller than Xu Qianqian, so the streetlamp’s light fell partially on him. The other half of the yellowish light fanned across Xu Qianqian’s face.

Under the umbrella, they were close enough for her to catch a whiff of warmth emanating from his thin clothes.

"Lower the umbrella a bit; you’re about to drench me."

Jiang Nian turned his head and calmly said,

"I know."

"Then why don’t you shift it a bit?" Xu Qianqian gritted her teeth, exasperated every time she saw him, "Are you a dog? This is my umbrella!"

In the rain, the wet water surface reflected the neon lights.

The two were fighting over the umbrella’s angle, making the path they took in the rain perilously slanted.

"Regardless of whose umbrella this is, should I get wet?" Jiang Nian looked at her, "It’s okay if you get wet; just take a shower when you get back."

Such a shameless comment almost drove Xu Qianqian mad, and she tilted the umbrella violently towards herself.

"Can’t you just get wet?"

"No way, I’d get a fever and can’t shower."

"Jerk!" Xu Qianqian trembled with anger, "Won’t I catch a cold and get a fever?"

Jiang Nian thought for a moment and came up with a new idea.

"Why not get wet and if you get a fever, I’ll help you..."

"Scram!"

Someone got kicked out and directly got a face full of rain. Though the rain wasn’t heavy, just enough to wash a face.

For someone like Jiang Nian, it was nothing.

He laughed, not to mention catching a cold, he’d lose even if he sneezed.

....

The next day.

Jiang Nian woke up with somewhat sore hands.

On the way home through the rainy night, Xu Qianqian kicked him, but not too hard or too soft.

So, he felt invigorated again.

While going upstairs, he glimpsed her under the sound-sensitive light, her rain-kissed face glowing softly. Gathering courage, he intended to ask if he could help wipe her face.

But ended up saying something outrageous.

[You got rain on your face, need me to lick it off?]

Xu Qianqian froze for a split second, then lunged at him. Just hitting him all around, leaving the honest Jiang Nian’s arm retired on the spot.

Jiang Nian, usually honest, became even more so afterwards.

It was a slip of the tongue; the world really shows no mercy to honest people. Not even giving a chance to explain, if this continues, he’ll really be done for.

Brushing his teeth, he looked down.

Classic American upturned head.

He sighed, senior year was exhausting like a dog. The only thing brimming with energy was it, and once he entered the classroom, he’d grow weary.

His whole being was in a fog, seldom staying awake.

Jiang Nian left, habitually glancing at the shoe rack across the door. Discovering the culprit, the honest man-killer, Mr. Xu, had left for school early.

My nemesis, indeed delivering knockout punches to the honest ones.

He quietly went downstairs, and after some thought, changed his QQ profile signature to [Corpse Fisher].

Soon, someone messaged him.

Chen Yunyun: "What’s with your signature?"

Jiang Nian walked towards school, typing with one hand.

"So keen on me? Stalking my updates all night, huh."

Chen Yunyun: "Ugh! You’re the one up all night; my hair was dry at three thirty. Couldn’t sleep after staying up late, woke up before six. (Sleepy) (Sleepy)"

Jiang Nian typed replies with a chuckle.

"Dorm life isn’t convenient, why didn’t you sneak over to my place to blow dry your hair last night?"

Soon, Chen Yunyun replied with a speechless emoji.

"Can’t be bothered talking to you, going to class."

Jiang Nian felt satisfied, first grin of the day.

He finished his breakfast on the way and entered the classroom to find barely anyone around in the morning.

Perhaps because it was getting colder, and the rain last night, more people were lingering in bed. Wake-up times were generally later.

Chen Yunyun was napping at her seat, head heavy and sleepy, yet she couldn’t sleep.

Suddenly, she heard footsteps and looked up.

"You’re here so early?"

"Yeah, used to waking up early." Jiang Nian stood at the edge of her desk, reaching out to play with her hair tips, "Hey, did you really wash your hair last night?"

"You..." Chen Yunyun was at a loss, her voice a bit hoarse, "I washed it, don’t... don’t mess with my hair."

Mess with something else.

Jiang Nian didn’t care, his gaze elsewhere.

"You sound like you caught a cold."

"Probably... not?" Chen Yunyun wasn’t sure, touching her forehead, "Seems fine, just a bit cold."

"Here’s a great remedy, heals in no time." Jiang Nian said.

Chen Yunyun looked confused, her voice slightly scratchy.

"What?

Five minutes later, Jiang Nian returned with water. Along with a disposable paper cup, he placed it on Chen Yunyun’s desk.

"Great, you’re saved."

Chen Yunyun opened her mouth but was speechless, at times really exasperated by him.

"You’re the one who’s beyond saving!"

She looked at the bottom of the disposable cup, finding about three sips of some unknown brown liquid. It was radiating white circles, emitting slight warmth.

She sniffed it; it was cold relief granules.

"Where’d you get this?"

"Oh, the disposable cup I took from the neighboring class," Jiang Nian explained, "Office wasn’t open, picking the lock under surveillance seemed a bit impolite."

"No, I meant the cold granules," she asked.

"From home, where else—picked up on the way? Jiang Nian retorted, remaining cheeky, he became deadpan, waved his hand, and walked away.

"Drink it while it’s hot, hope you won’t sleep during class."

Chen Yunyun looked at the medicine in her hand and then at Jiang Nian walking away nonchalantly. She couldn’t help but blink, her heart softening like soaked water.

He’s such a good person, but with that mouth.

In fairy tales, the Evil Queen usually holds a bottle of Black Magic Potion to poison the princess...

She shook her head sharply; that thought was too "Jiang Nian."

After drinking the cold remedy, maybe it was just psychological, but Chen Yunyun felt her body warming up, and her dizzy head wasn’t as heavy.

Then, during the latter half of the morning self-study, her eyelids uncontrollably drooped.

Too sleepy to hold on, she succumbed and drifted off into sleep.

In her hazy slumber, Chen Yunyun had a brief dream where she became a queen holding a magic potion.

Jiang Nian turned into a princess, still chatterboxing away.

"Damn, just showered. Who’s posting my pics online? Damn, a million followers now, I’m just... you guys really messed me up!"

She knew she was dreaming but couldn’t find words.

So ingrained in his bones.

"I want to silence you!" she said.

"Whoa, being so petty?" Jiang Nian sprang up, "Why’s life always screwing me over, who’s actually living well here!"

Ring ring ring, the dream ended.

Chen Yunyun woke gently to find the teacher already in class.

She rubbed her eyes, casting aside the absurd dream. Taking a deep breath, she pulled out a book from the desk bin and suddenly noticed... her body felt lighter.

..... ....

Sunday, the school offers makeup classes, supposedly "voluntary" for students.

But no one minded much, just keenly counting down to the golden six hours in the afternoon. Though they couldn’t go anywhere, they didn’t want to waste even a second.

The first class was English, and Qianbao seemed out of it, yawning through the lecture.

"Alright, take out the sheets distributed yesterday, look at the first reading passage."

Jiang Nian pulled out the English sheet and resumed skimming through science questions.

Suddenly, Li Hua nudged him.

"Hey Nian, look at this incredible picture."

"What?" Jiang Nian turned, seeing Li Hua sneak out a Chinese review book, "It’s English class, why’s the Chinese review book out?"

"Just wait, you’ll see." Li Hua raised an eyebrow, skillfully flipping to a page.

Jiang Nian looked and couldn’t hold back a smile.

He looked again, still finding it incredibly amusing.

"Where’d you dig this out?"

Li Hua chuckled, putting away the review book.

"Never mind that, got a small knife? I’ll cut out this picture, show it to Tao Ran after class, and ask him to write an essay evaluating it."

Jiang Nian: "....."

Li Hua was gloating when unexpectedly, Qianbao called on him.
