Chapter 73: Chapter 73 Movie Date
Li Hua returned from the restroom, just got to his seat, glanced at the screen, and curiously asked.
"Spiritual Journey? What movie is that?"
Zeng You, from the same group, turned his head from a messy pile of books, temporarily snapping out from the world of Tomb Raider Notes, and eagerly said.
"I heard from the class representative that it’s a healing movie."
"Healing?" Li Hua grinned, took out Long San from the desk hole, and bragged, "I have this, what more movies do I need to watch."
Zeng You froze in his seat, controlled for three seconds, looking as if he wanted to say something but couldn’t.
Uh oh, it’s close to the deadline now.
Jiang Nian supported his head, his palm covered the back of his neck, tapping lightly twice.
"Hua, you should leave now, I don’t recommend watching this healing movie now, save it for tomorrow."
Zeng You nodded, showing agreement.
"Jiang Nian has a point, you..."
"Stop right there, anyone who spoils it, I’ll pee on them!" Li Hua waved his hand, not refusing but dismissing further comments, "Spoilers deserve to be deep-fried, OK?"
Seriously, this kid is something.
We throw you a rope to save yourself, and you put it around your neck?
Zeng You and Jiang Nian exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other’s eyes. Reluctantly, they looked away and chose to say no more, after all...
Having been drenched, one wishes to break everyone’s umbrella.
Damn it!
The movie began, and Jiang Nian was not really interested in what was playing on the screen. Compared to healing films, he much preferred staring at the beautiful girl on his left for two periods.
At eighteen, both pure love and pure hatred are within reach.
Just not the healing movies.
Jiang Nian firmly believed that life’s full of scars, and jerks come in many varieties. Instead of letting go, carrying hatred seemed to make one stand up faster.
Your girlfriend cheats on you, and you say forget it. Others bully you, and you say forget it too. Forget everything, hate, hate, hate! Punch this rotten world to pieces.
Just as he was spacing out.
Suddenly, his left arm was poked, and Jiang Nian took a second to determine whether it was Zhizhi or Li Hua.
Oh, left side, time to be an oblivious monarch again.
Yay!
When the right arm is poked, Little Bee’s elbow strike is ready to launch at zero frame!
"Hmm?" He turned his head to look, pretending to be indifferent.
"Want some jelly?" She handed over a pack of Sucking Jelly, the screen’s light casting a blurry glow on her face, her eyes bright in the darkness, "Want some?"
"Oh, oh, yes." Jiang Nian remembered the pack of Sucking Jelly he’d snatched from the bad girl’s drawer in the morning, only having one pack left, the rest split between Ma Guojun and Li Hua.
Left over, forget it..... it’s like it’s gone. Bad girls don’t have the charm of young girls.
Outside the classroom, footsteps were heard, along with Qianbao’s three "achoo" sounds!!
"Thanks, have you seen this movie?" Jiang Nian accepted the jelly, hadn’t bought any snacks, and covered drinks for the small group of six.
All by sneaking a bit from left and right, placing some snacks on the desk for display.
"Haven’t seen it." She shook her head.
"What are you guys talking about, all secretive and whispering?" Li Hua handed over a few small packets of shrimp chips, "Want some of this? Snatched from Yao Beibei."
"Sure, talking little whispers about you?" Jiang Nian boldly took all the shrimp chips from Li Hua’s hand, "What’s up baby, jealous?"
"Jealous, my ass, I’m off to see Ma Guojun." Li Hua couldn’t be bothered with the two, grabbed an iced tea and dashed off.
Half a class into the movie, it was getting interesting.
With nothing else to do, Jiang Nian also looked up, went out once to the restroom. When he re-entered the classroom, he was momentarily blinded, needing two seconds to adjust before reaching his seat.
Zhang Ningzhi raised her head, watching the movie intently. Noticing Jiang Nian’s return, she especially turned her head to look at him, wanting to say something, then awkwardly asked.
"Are there other classrooms playing movies outside?"
"Almost all are. Coming back from the corridor, I saw several classes with darkened lights." Jiang Nian tucked his feet under his seat, resuming that lazy demeanor.
"Any more to eat?" he asked.
Just love eating some Zhi Zhi’s baby stuff.
"Got popcorn." She handed over a small half a cup, yellow popcorn in a disposable cup, "Don’t know where Beibei got it from, gave me a cup."
Jiang Nian took it, picked up a kernel, and couldn’t help but marvel.
"Still hot? Where did Yao Beibei get it from?"
"No idea, she told me not to pry into adult matters." Zhang Ningzhi was a bit aggrieved, reached into the cup and picked up a kernel too, "It’s not good when it’s cold."
The two stayed this way, with Jiang Nian holding the cup, positioned in the middle.
The curtains absorbed the faint light, making their spot feel dim. The rest of the class had their attention on the screen, the front two rows feeling a bit dimmer.
Old-fashioned multimedia equipment, not the best sound quality, with occasional buzzing sounds.
Jiang Nian held the cup, sometimes watching the movie, sometimes looking at his left at Zhizhi. The screen’s light cast a youthful beauty on her.
Smooth facial lines, looking gentle and easy to bully.
The movie reached its halfway point, entering the most thrilling part.
Jiang Nian was also captivated, his hand holding the cup lowered. The classroom’s light flickered with the screen, casting a dim glow back and forth over the two.
Face youthful, innocent.
When he came to, turning his head, he found Zhang Ningzhi still staring at the screen. Her eyes weren’t blinking, deeply engrossed, her face even making slight synchronized expressions.
On a whim, he felt like being playful.
Jiang Nian poked Zhang Ningzhi’s arm, and when she turned back confusedly, he said.
"This spot is just like a theater date, isn’t it? VIP seats."
Zhang Ningzhi indeed reacted, her pupils slowly expanding, her mouth slightly opened. Almost instantly, she turned her head back, her face flush with warmth.
Jiang Nian laughed, carefree.
"Just kidding..."
Before he could finish the sentence, a ding sounded, a task panel popped up.
[Task: Successfully have a pleasant date with Zhang Ningzhi. Reward: Fishing Mastery (Skill) (Completed)]
The words he was about to say got stuck in his throat.
This counts too?
.....
End of Zhennan Street, Tianlong BBQ stall.
The smoky fumes were blown up into the sky by a fan, a table full with twelve people. The circle originally led by Liu Feipeng now had a new person in the main seat.
Yu Tongjie sat there playing with his phone, scrolling through the ever-refreshing class group messages.
Due to the sports meet, boarding students’ phones were returned in the afternoon. Now the group was filled with chat history, movie screening photos everywhere.
He suddenly regretted, if he hadn’t taken leave to come out, at least he could’ve watched the movie with Li Qingrong. Missing this film-watching atmosphere in class is a lost chance.
Moreover, the seats this time were close, who knows if they could sit just a row apart next time, might end up across the group.
Regret it deeply!
Knowing this, he wouldn’t have come out drinking with these idiots, lest Jiang Nian steals the show back?
Shouldn’t...right?
Zhou Yuting and Liu Pengfei exchanged looks, this gathering was initially meant for getting to know little master Yu. Drinking, boasting, making familiar faces.
If Yu Tongjie were a bookworm, they wouldn’t have chosen a BBQ stall. The point was to hear Yu Tongjie was okay with these things, didn’t mind KTV either.
By all means, the atmosphere should have been quite lively.
Why was it all miserable from the start, leaving everyone confused.
Zhou Yuting felt nothing special for Yu Tongjie, but wanted him to have something special for her. Even fighting bosses requires leveling up, she enjoyed that superior feeling of fishing.
The bigger the fish in the pond, the stronger the sense of superiority.
Of course, she was smart, never showcasing these thoughts outright. Nor did she display arrogance, only presenting it at the right moments.
Currently, the pond housed Le Zhi, Liu Pengfei, two sizeable fish. Last month, one Jiang Nian slipped away, even slapping her with its tail.
To this day, recalling it makes her grit her teeth with hatred.
That line, "Baby, I’m not angry, I’ll move up a class." caused huge psychological damage, needing to whisper nightly before sleeping.
Jiang Nian! Absolutely detestable!
Now she’d nearly moved on, late October’s exam, there was one final chance to move up. But essentially, no entry, no exit, the chance was slim.
It was confirmed Olympic class natives wouldn’t downgrade, just a quality check for those ascending. Using overall scores, i.e., the average of two exams.
Based on the usual performance of up-moving students, adding a performance score mechanism. An overall comprehensive assessment, eventually eliminating the unstable, replacing them with stable performers.
She found out, a student moving from Class 1 had a mental breakdown, bound to drop. In Jiang Nian’s Class 3, essentially no opportunity.
Tears must soak the white test paper, vowing to enter the Olympic class!
Zhou Yuting had been crazily studying for two weeks, confident she’ll stand out. Even on the way here, she stole moments to memorize words, browsed topics on her phone.
Combining work and rest, combining work and rest.
Zhou Yuting exchanged a glance with Liu Pengfei, her voice pitched up as she spoke first.
"Young Master Yu, doesn’t the food suit your taste? Should we..."
"No need." Yu Tongjie waved it off, eyebrows still furrowed, "Don’t call me young master, it sounds pretentious, I’m just an ordinary person."
In private, don’t mention titles, capiche?
Zhou Yuting was awkward, "Okay, Yu...brother."
Liu Pengfei coughed, mimicking adults with a stable demeanor, chuckled as he picked up the topic.
"Come on, let me take the first drink, congratulating brother on moving up to the Olympics. Running late, little brother will down three cups as punishment, Yu won’t mind."
"Awesome! Peng, you’re awesome!"
"Three cups, I’ll toast Yu one more, little brother..."
"Um... alright." Yu Tongjie rubbed the back of his head, thinking this guy is a fool, acting more obnoxious than me, "No problem, one cup is enough."
Watching the lively atmosphere, he felt more irritable. Zhou Yuting’s so pretty, why hang out with these jerks, no normal people?
After rounds of drinks, the table’s atmosphere finally warmed up, the group smoothly transitioned into topics about moving up classes.
Le Zhi hadn’t spoken the whole time, initially unwilling to come, not wanting to get to know Yu Tongjie. Sitting in the middle, no response until someone mentioned Jiang Nian’s name.
