Chapter 113 Watching the Sunset Together

Wang Yuhe was only depressed for a while before she cheered up again.

It’s fine if I never play ball with him again; solve the problem at its root. Besides, Jiang Nian has high athletic talent, but his grades aren’t good! Especially his math grades!

She looked up, staring at Jiang Nian with a serious expression.

“You still need to practice your math.”

Jiang Nian and Chen Yunyun exchanged glances and both started laughing.

This person really holds a grudge.

But that’s how friends are, a little bit of backing down, allowing the other person to invade their territory. Mutual tolerance, and slowly they become good friends with double standards.

Lunch break, a gentle breeze.

Someone was riding back with bubble tea from the city, taking a taxi was too expensive. A round trip would cost forty, which was more expensive than the bubble tea itself, and he didn’t have any coupons.

Fortunately, it wasn’t hot with the autumn sun hanging in the sky.

Jiang Nian woke up from his nap, feeling groggy, and grabbed his water cup for a sip. He glanced to the left of his seat; Zhang Ningzhi wasn’t there.

He instinctively reached for his phone, but quickly realized this was a classroom and he couldn’t be so reckless.

What if Old Liu was behind him? Such things weren’t impossible.

High school homeroom teachers are somewhat voyeuristic, bored in the office every day. They love to drink a glass of cool boiled water and then fantasize about students running wild in the classroom.

But they wouldn’t directly catch them; they would wait for a whim. Choosing some tricky times, like after the lunch break, sneaking out from the back of the classroom.

At that time, the lunch break had just ended, and the classroom was messy.

Like a husband with a cuckolding fetish.

As soon as he leaves the house, he starts fantasizing that his wife is already with some man. He could turn around and sprint a hundred meters to catch them, but he still insists on going to work.

Then he returns unexpectedly, a pained expression on his face.

Indeed!! You guys!!

You’ve betrayed my trust!

I have to mention “Green Sun”; the cuckold’s hat is already directly on his head. He’s still playing the flute outside, why doesn’t he go in and help the blond guy play?

Old Liu also had a bit of a habit of catching people in the act, he loved to appear in class unexpectedly. The consequences of being caught weren’t too severe, it was just a talk.

Using the students’ guilt, he would make them voluntarily draw a line and promise how much they would improve next time.

It’s somewhat like, you can use your phone however you want, but you have to wear a chastity belt.

He looked back; there was no teacher in the classroom, so he took out his phone.

Lin Dong had sent him a message, roughly saying that he had looked for Wu Jun Gu during PE class. But the other person bit the hand that fed them, almost hitting him.

Jiang Nian laughed for a while, stupid classmates have more fun.

Honestly.

He quite liked watching this kind of entertainment, as long as he didn’t get involved in the Karma. Not that he was afraid, but he just wasn’t clear about the situation for now, so he didn’t really want to get into trouble.

It felt quite good to watch Lin Dong get entangled in it.

He thought for a moment and replied to Lin Dong’s message.

“He saw the photo and had no reaction?”

After sending it, he put away his phone. He looked up and saw Zhang Ningzhi entering from the front of the classroom; the young girl seemed to be full of Origin Qi today as well.

However, her gaze flickered towards Jiang Nian, and suddenly she became reserved.

You’re putting on airs, aren’t you?

Jiang Nian’s eyes were unfocused, fantasizing that if he were to date Zhang Ningzhi. It probably wouldn’t take a week for them to have a child, and when the child was born, they would name them Jiang.

Disgusting, Jiang Nian also felt a bit disgusting himself.

But he quickly forgave himself; with so much pressure in the third year of high school. With his abundant Qi and blood, a little fantasy was normal, after all, it’s about actions, not intentions.

They weren’t dating, and the third year of high school really wasn’t suitable for dating.

Restrain yourself, isn’t that just edging? Just thinking about it makes me furious, is this fishing? Eight steps of a snake demon, right, and then a continuous series, upper and lower parts.

If I don’t restrain myself, I’ll have to repeat the fourth year of high school and raise a child, sigh.

Worried.

As for dating and both getting into Tsinghua, hahaha, has Liu Cixin’s new work come out early?

The admissions officer from Peking University approached Jiang Nian, who had a cold expression.

You must admit all my girlfriends, as well as my grandfather; he has wanted to go to Peking University for a long time. If you don’t agree, this Genius will not enter your school!

Strong, it must be the Number One Man of Zhennan!

As soon as Zhang Ningzhi sat down, she turned her head and saw Jiang Nian laughing foolishly by himself. She couldn’t help but purse her lips, her eyes curving, and she poked his arm.

“What are you laughing at?”

Jiang Nian turned his head, still laughing, “Do you want to go to Peking University?”

Zhang Ningzhi: “Huh?”

Jiang Nian burst into laughter. Although Zhang Ningzhi didn’t know what he was laughing about, she still chuckled along.

He seems quite childish.

The afternoon classes were a bit dull, and the teachers mentioned the upcoming joint exam at the end of the month, intentionally or unintentionally.

“Students who are really sleepy, go stand at the back.”

“Just get through this period, the third year of high school isn’t tiring, it’s tasteless.” The physics teacher walked around the classroom with his hands behind his back, “We had it even harder than you back then.”

“Where were there so many study materials? It was all handwritten. If we found a good question, it would be passed around the whole class, ah, eager for knowledge, like crazy.”

“You’ve worked hard for three years, isn’t it just to get into a key university? Do any of you really want to go to a second-tier university? Going out from a second-tier university, you’ll be looked down upon when looking for a job.”

The students in the class had already been woken up by the physics teacher’s digression, and someone asked curiously.

“Teacher, what tier university did you attend?”

“Cough cough, my alma mater back then was a second-tier university.” The physics teacher seemed a bit embarrassed, and in the midst of the jeers, he said loudly, “But! There weren’t many university students in our time.”

Jiang Nian used a fatigue-eliminating skill once, and this little skill was quite useful. He was energetic all afternoon, and even the soreness in his hands from playing badminton in the morning was eliminated.

He didn’t use it during the lunch break because he was afraid of being sleepy during evening self-study.

He had already figured out the pattern: using it from the first class in the afternoon allowed him to last until school ended in the afternoon. He wouldn’t feel sleepy during the first evening self-study session either.

The root of the pain in the third year of high school was exhaustion, a lack of mental energy. But now he really didn’t feel anything; his condition was decent all day.

Before evening self-study.

The entire classroom was dim, with twilight casting in through the window, reflecting on the blackboard.

There were only a few people in the classroom, and strangely, no one turned on the lights.

Jiang Nian was sleeping with his head on the desk, no one disturbed him. His close friends happened to not be in the classroom, and no girls came over to secretly confess or steal his base.

He felt quite regretful.

In the dim classroom, one or two people stood by the back window, holding vocabulary books. They murmured words to themselves while secretly observing the students downstairs.

Jiang Nian was half-asleep when he felt someone gently push him. The distant and near sounds of chatter reached his ears, and he suddenly realized he had fallen asleep in the classroom.

It was autumn, and after the temperature dropped, it was always easy to fall asleep.

He had already used the fatigue elimination skill in the afternoon.

He sat up, and in the dim light, he only saw Zhang Ningzhi’s beautiful face. One foot was half-kneeling on Li Hua’s seat as she leaned over, carefully calling him.

Jiang Nian, having just woken up, stared at her. His gaze instinctively moved to her lips, and he couldn’t help but swallow, imagining if he could hold them.

In the darkness, Zhang Ningzhi was flustered by his gaze, like a small, pink-winged bird, she quickly pulled back a little distance, then moved a little closer again.

She whispered, “Jiang Nian, there’s a pink sunset outside.”

“What?”

“They… they are all watching, in the corridor.” Zhang Ningzhi looked at him cautiously, suddenly feeling that she might have been a little presumptuous.

Jiang Nian was probably sleeping just now.

Although he didn’t have a bad temper when waking up, and neither did she. But doing this seemed a bit impolite, after all, she wasn’t sure if he liked watching sunsets.

She hadn’t thought much about it just now; seeing a crowd of people squeezed in the corridor watching the pink sunset, she was momentarily delighted and inexplicably wanted to find Jiang Nian.

She wanted… she wanted him to see it too.

She felt that Jiang Nian might not have fully woken up, still shrouded in the dim light of his seat. She was already starting to feel awkward, her toes curling, wishing she could turn and run.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I was too excited and forgot you were sleeping.” Zhang Ningzhi stammered a bit, feeling her aversion to stupidity acting up again.

“It’s okay, I was almost awake anyway.” He stood up, looked at the slightly apologetic Zhang Ningzhi, the girl with a ponytail, her beautiful face.

“Thank you for the sunset.”

Jiang Nian organized his words. No one had turned on the lights in the classroom in the afternoon. The evening in autumn had cooled down, and the cool breeze from the window made him sleep comfortably.

Currently, the language module hasn’t finished loading, it’s a bit stuck.

Zhizhi baby, let me restart.

Windows, sorry, wrong boot.

“Let’s go, let’s go out together.” He finally grasped the main point of the matter, took two steps forward, almost pressing against her, before Zhang Ningzhi belatedly realized.

After an ‘oh, oh’ sound, she turned and walked out.

Zhang Ningzhi could feel Jiang Nian following behind her, and suddenly felt a surreptitious nervousness. Especially in the dim environment, she could hear his soft laughter.

What’s so funny? She grumbled inwardly, her ears involuntarily turning red.

She had been a bit hot-headed just now.

Outside the corridor, a group of people stood, looking at the pink sunset over the teaching building. A thick golden stroke traversed the pink sunset, like a golden tree.

A group of people gasped and discussed animatedly.

“It’s breathtaking!”

“Take a picture, take a picture, who brought a phone?”

“Send me a copy later.”

Another part of the group was chatting, not taking pictures with their phones.

“What’s so special about a sunset? When it was hot last month, didn’t we see it every day?”

“Exactly, too lazy to take pictures, it’s boring.”

Zhang Ningzhi secretly took out her phone, nervously found an angle, and snapped a picture. She looked at it, seemingly dissatisfied, and frowned slightly.

There were too many people, and she felt shy about raising her phone to take a picture.

Zhang Ningzhi instinctively turned her head, wanting to find someone.

“That…”

“Give it to me.”

Before she could finish her sentence, someone guessed her intention. In the slightly crowded sunset corridor, the unspoken signal was perfectly received, and a hand reached out directly.

Zhang Ningzhi looked up, meeting his gaze.

At that moment, she found it hard to describe the feeling. It was as if even if he was indifferent to the sunset, he would still quietly stand there and watch it with her.

Almost like indulgence.

She was momentarily flustered and handed her phone to Jiang Nian.

“Done.”

Zhang Ningzhi took her phone back from his hand, looking at the almost perfect composition. Her wildly growing heart settled down, and she felt a slight dizziness.
