Chapter 66 Winning at Flirting

“Not yet, I’m saving them to watch all at once during the Acquired sports meet.” Li Hua Nike’s mouth curved again. “I didn’t sign up for a single event, smart, right?”

“Hmm, hard to say.” Jiang Nian rubbed the back of his head.

Damn it, he’s enjoying himself.

“Don’t worry, I’ll still go cheer you on.” Li Hua patted Jiang Nian’s shoulder. “Whispering, I bought the physical book for Dragon Four.”

Jiang Nian and Li Hua walked together, holding umbrellas in the rain, sweeping up trash. They kept a small distance from the others, and raindrops formed discs on the dark green leaves.

“Haha, the sports meet is three days long, I can finish Dragon Three and Dragon Four in one go.”

“I’m already looking forward to it. Eri Yi and the unlucky guy still have such a long story; I’ll watch it all at once for maximum enjoyment.”

Jiang Nian didn’t know what to say and mumbled.

“Something like that.”

You little rascal, Dragon Four was bought for nothing.

Group Six, a bunch of people holding umbrellas in the rain, pretended to wander around their assigned area, then went upstairs without doing anything. On a rainy day, just making an appearance was enough.

A perfunctory stroll was considered doing justice to their alma mater.

The morning classes were relatively relaxed: Chinese, Chinese, Math, Music. In Jiang Nian’s eyes, this was equivalent to self-study, self-study, Math, self-study.

Under his Chinese textbook, he had Math review materials, and he’d do a couple of problems whenever he had time.

Shameless cuckolder!

No, he was just impartial; he also liked to do small problems during Math class.

During the first class break, Li Hua elbowed Jiang Nian and whispered.

“Did you notice that Yu Tongjie is unusually excited today? Like he’s on drugs or something, he shouted like crazy during the first Chinese class.”

“He’s just active in class, did that hurt you?” Jiang Nian glanced at him.

“Of course, he woke me up.” Li Hua looked serious, then felt strange. “Hey, why aren’t you sleepy today? Usually, during the first class in the morning…”

Asking the obvious.

You little rascal.

Zhang Ningzhi was napping at her desk, seemingly at random, resting her head with her face towards Jiang Nian’s side. Her beautiful profile was exposed, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

Jiang Nian didn’t look at her side, and said to Li Hua with a serious expression.

“Sleeping in class is a bad habit.”

Li Hua: “???”

Before the second Chinese class, Li Hua heard Jiang Nian tell Zhang Ningzhi that if he fell asleep in class, she should wake him up with her hand.

He couldn’t help but lean over and say, “Hey, let me wake you up.”

Jiang Nian glanced at him, “I don’t need you, go play somewhere else.”

“You bastard!”

Zhang Ningzhi was amused by them, turned her head away, her shoulders trembling slightly.

After school at noon, Wu Jungu was the first to leave his seat. He squeezed past Huang Fang’s chair, which was near the aisle, and hurried out of the classroom.

Jiang Nian wasn’t in a hurry to eat, but he still looked up.

“Why is Wu Jungu walking so fast?”

“Waiting for his girlfriend, what else could it be?” Li Hua was sour. “No, why does he get all the good things? I’m really about to lose it.”

Speaking of gossip, Huang Fang also turned back and smiled.

“His girlfriend is in the next class.”

“Class Two? Is she pretty?” Zhang Ningzhi asked.

“How should I put it…” Li Hua stammered.

Zeng You, who was reading a novel by the window, also looked up, a playful smile appearing on his usually indifferent face.

“Li Hua, why do you care about other people’s girlfriends?”

Generally speaking, this topic would lead to an argument.

Jiang Nian chimed in, “He’s been feeling amorous lately, wants to date someone too, probably the kind who’s looking for a spouse in the entire grade, offering a hefty sum for a girlfriend, giving five hundred thousand if they match.”

“That’s not looking for a girlfriend, that’s looking for a son!” Li Hua was furious, but quickly calmed down, a slight smile appearing on his face.

“I don’t want to date anyone from the three-dimensional world. My heart has already been stolen by Eri Yi, perhaps I will never experience joy or sorrow again in this life.”

Those aren’t good words, you little rascal.

You’re using memes without watching Chainsaw Man, huh?

Alright, alright, next time I’ll recommend it to you as pure love.

Zhang Ningzhi didn’t participate in their discussion, but she didn’t leave either, listening with her ears perked up. She was absentmindedly doing problems, a faint smile on her lips.

In her previous class, she had never experienced such a relaxed group atmosphere.

No, it should be, there was no Jiang Nian.

A person like him.

He seemed to be born with the ability to handle group dynamics, skillfully deflecting awkward topics, keeping Group Six in a relaxed and united atmosphere.

Branch Branch Baby, of course, couldn’t understand.

People who have been in the scene are like this, veterans with four golden nails. They used to deal with idiots every day, and suddenly, everyone around them is normal.

Pure dimensionality reduction attack.

In the afternoon, a cup of lemonade appeared on Jiang Nian’s desk.

He sat down and glanced at Zhang Ningzhi. She was bent over an english paper, her gaze fixed. Her knuckles, clutching the pen, were slightly pale and motionless.

Jiang Nian, deep in thought, spoke up.

“You chose wrong, the answer to this question is D.”

Zhang Ningzhi instinctively tightened her grip, and a short scratch appeared on the test paper.

“Oh, oh, oh.”

Reading comprehension, what do three “ohs” mean?

Li Hua arrived; the glutton seemed oblivious to the lemonade on Jiang Nian’s desk. This time, he was selectively blind, but after sitting down for a while, he felt uneasy again.

No, can the pink bubbles stay away from me, damn it!

Six people in a group, three of them fallen.

After sitting for less than half a minute, Li Hua got up to get a drink from Ma Guojun. He still had to drink iced black tea; this stuff was strong and could suppress what was on his mind.

However, compared to Wu Jungu, who had a girlfriend, he wasn’t as sour. He was busy like a pilot every day, either arguing or in a cold war.

Three days of sunshine, three days of rain, and three more days of neither, it really affected academic performance.

But those who were in an ambiguous relationship, he was truly sour about.

They enjoyed the sweetness of love without having to endure the bitterness of early romance.

You really deserve to die, Jiang Nian!

It had been raining in the morning, but in the afternoon, the sun actually came out, and the rainwater on the playground ground had mostly dried up.

Liu Yang stood on the podium after the third class ended and said.

“I’ve already gotten the Homeroom Teacher’s permission. Everyone who signed up for the sports meet can skip the next self-study session and go to the playground to practice together.”

“Especially students who signed up for sprints and long-distance runs, practice specifically for those.”

The sports meet was the Acquired day; no matter how much they practiced, it was just last-minute preparation. But for the people of Class Three, not having to attend self-study was enough.

They were thrilled.

A dozen or so boys and girls stood up sparsely, including Jiang Nian.

He didn’t really want to run, but he wanted to go down, walk around, and then head straight to the Cafeteria.

He was hungry.

As he stood up, he looked down and his gaze met Zhang Ningzhi’s, who was sitting to his left. The little girl quietly clenched her fist, her face flushed, and silently mouthed “Go for it.”

Jiang Nian nodded seriously.

Yep, go for it, eat!

Li Hua turned around and saw Jiang Nian, who had just left the classroom, skillfully pulling out his blue meal card from his pocket, and his fists immediately clenched.

You bastard!
