Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Waiting for the Progress Bar
"That’s it?" Jiang Nian responded to Li Hua’s accusation by playing dirty, "So it turns out you’re so innocent, Pure Love Bro, did you cry all night?"
With the label of Pure Love Bro slapped on him, Li Hua was thrown off balance.
He instinctively retorted, "How... how could that be, I just flipped through it casually, your words really chill me."
"Sorry, sorry, my bad." Jiang Nian sincerely apologized, dodging a round of questioning, "Why don’t you catch up on sleep at your desk? The first class is math."
Upon hearing this, Li Hua finally forgave Jiang Nian.
He took the opportunity to snatch a small stubby bottle of Sprite from his drawer and ran off to sneak a nap by the window seat.
In high school, discussing pure love makes people wary, not that there’s a bias against it, but it’s akin to saying the favorite line of Japanese high schools, "You aren’t a virgin, are you?"
Although Chinese schools don’t really hold such fractured views, having the Pure Love Bro hat thrown on you is like having your pants pulled down, who wouldn’t panic?
You may think of yourself as uniquely devoted, like picking one ladle out of the vast water, but in some people’s eyes, it’s more like... "Oh, this pathetic old dog that no one wants, just waiting for a girl like me to save him with a kiss, huh?"
Exaggerating, exaggerating huh, play dead first.
Forum newcomer, positive energy warrior... (Three hundred-word essay omitted)
Ring ring ring, morning reading began.
The small morning drama didn’t catch the classmates’ attention, Li Hua slept through the entire early self-study session. The poor kid must have been exhausted, snoozing away in the corner against the wall.
It wasn’t until math class that Jiang Nian still didn’t know what book Li Hua had read last night.
During the break, Zhang Ningzhi from the front seat turned around.
Thanks to Jiang Nian casually helping her out a few days ago when she was in need, Zhang Ningzhi’s fondness for him greatly increased.
It seemed as if she was quietly closing in on the title of a good friend, pushing the relationship status to red.
The girl was a bit nervous, softly whispering, "Can I borrow your English test paper to check the answers?"
The English test paper was handed out on Saturday night before the holiday, and Jiang Nian had spent most of the evening study session completing it right away, never even taking it home.
"Oh, let me find it for you."
Saying this, Jiang Nian pulled open his desk and began rummaging through it.
During the waiting time, Zhang Ningzhi maintained her turned position. Her gaze couldn’t find a place to rest, brushed against his lowered eyebrows, and immediately shifted away as if on fire.
Time seemed to stretch infinitely at this moment.
"Here you go."
"Thank you." Zhang Ningzhi’s earlobes flushed red, hidden beneath the golden-white sunlight.
She looked down and saw Jiang Nian’s test paper was blank except for the answers. Other than the choices, there was nothing, which made her let out a small surprised sound.
"Did you just choose directly?"
Hearing this, Jiang Nian was stunned, "What else would I do?"
Zhang Ningzhi was hit hard, even when she encountered unfamiliar words she’d hesitate for a moment. Faced with long reading comprehension passages, without marking, she’d easily forget the meaning of the previous paragraph.
"You... you understand everything?"
Jiang Nian: "Basically, yeah. Why?"
She spotted a different answer from hers and pointed to a paragraph to ask its meaning. Jiang Nian just took one look and explained it directly.
"You’re really amazing." Zhang Ningzhi’s eyes sparkled with stars, her frustration instantly vanishing.
Jiang Nian, bearing the admiration from the young lady of Nanjiang Bay, couldn’t help but smile a little at the corners of his mouth.
Showing off brings joy, which official can resist such a test?
At this moment, the class bell rang, and Zhang Ningzhi had to put away the test paper. She carefully placed it in her drawer, glanced at the class schedule on her desk, and took out her Chinese book.
Li Hua yawned, pulled out Dragon Clan Three, and slipped it under his Chinese book.
Jiang Nian turned to look at him, this guy was truly reading word by word.
Jiangnan having readers like him, could wake up in the middle of the night and stab him again.
In the Chinese class, Jiang Nian took out a physics paper and pressed it under his Chinese book to work on it. Half listening, half doing problems, occasionally interacting with the homeroom teacher Lao Liu.
After class, he glanced at Li Hua again.
Good buddy had only gone through a few pages during the whole class, having read twenty to thirty thousand words throughout. The progress bar for "Old Friend from the Arctic" was moving way too slow.
The next system reward should be a fast-forward function for a specific project.
Urgently, fast forward to the pure love part!
During the second class break, Li Hua reluctantly got up when it was time to run exercises. He carefully put Dragon Clan Three into the deepest part of the drawer, turned to Jiang Nian.
"Hey, Jiangnan writes so well!"
"If I were a girl, I’d damn well want to marry him!"
"Hui Liyi is too perfect, all I see are flashbacks of the protagonist. Damn it, you don’t know how sweet those Chapters I just read are, I almost laughed out loud in Lao Liu’s class."
Jiang Nian walked along with the flowing crowd towards the sports field, sunlight spilling over his slender shoulders. Hearing Li Hua’s barely contained excitement murmuring in his ear, he couldn’t suppress a smile.
He was wondering in his mind whether to recommend "The Poor Guy’s Two Thousand Years" to him in a few days, or some other book like "There’s a Small Shop at the Edge of the Cloud", which he hadn’t sent yesterday.
No need to worry he wouldn’t take the bait, unable to resist the lure of curiosity.
Forget it, spare him, recommend "My Wife Comes from a Thousand Years Ago" instead.
"Sure, get married, get married." Jiang stuffed one hand in his pocket, casually saying, "You and Jiangnan have a wedding, passionately embracing and kissing every part of him."
"Damn! That’s so disgusting!" Li Hua jumped away instantly, keeping a distance, "Brother Nian, don’t do this, I’m really scared."
Jiang Nian shook his head, no worries, I’ll wait for the Hui Liyi progress bar.
On the sports field, the red rubber track.
Taking advantage of the break in organizing the running team, sports committee Liu Yang came to the front of the group. He yelled for everyone to quiet down, then began discussing the autumn sports meet registration.
"Our class is a science class, with fewer girls. I hope all the boys can show some spirit, take the initiative, and win glory for the class, there are prizes if you win."
Below, the big guy Ma Guojun sneered.
"It’s always a thermos mug, ping pong paddle, badminton racket, dare you buy more expensive prizes."
Li Hua patted Ma Guojun’s shoulder, with a mischievous smile.
"What do you want? Ask the principal to buy a small trophy for you?"
"Get lost!" Ma Guojun’s chubby face turned red, and he started horsing around with Li Hua.
Jiang Nian was mindlessly scuffing his shoes on the side, thinking if this damn running exercise could be canceled. Running till your underwear is soaked in summer, and getting hot and sweaty in winter.
Before long, the sports committee came to Jiang Nian with the signup sheet.
The two exchanged a look, a signal code passed between them.
"Brother Nian, you’ve been quiet too long, sign up for something!" Liu Yang pointed at the signup options, "One hundred meters, eight hundred meters, which one are you going for?"
"This shot put is also..."
Jiang Nian’s eyelid twitched, quickly responded.
"No shot put!"
This year’s shot put referee, that old Ironmust have not changed. If he saw him break another record with a somersault, wouldn’t he have a heart attack?
