Chapter 175: Sai Weng Lost His Horse, How Could One Know It Is Not a Blessing?

Introverted simp?

What the heck?

Lin Dong stood rooted to the spot, watching Jiang Nian turn and leave.

Just then, the bell rang, and he didn’t have time to think too much. He turned his head and saw Yu Zhiyi bouncing out the doorway, and his heart immediately became active again.

“Class is starting, where are you going?”

Yu Zhiyi turned back, saw that the person who called her was Lin Dong, and instinctively frowned.

“The Biology Teacher’s office. Why? Are you going too?”

She had been quite annoyed with Lin Dong, that idiot, a while ago. After all, without him stirring up trouble, she and Wu Jungu wouldn’t have argued so fiercely, nor would they have broken up so quickly.

But recently, she had come to a realization: breaking up was for the best.

She couldn’t afford to be bogged down anymore. With the College Entrance Exam constantly approaching, it was better to travel light and start anew.

Honestly speaking, no matter what choice she made, Lin Dong was still an idiot. But since they were in the same class now, there was no need to sour their relationship.

Lin Dong scratched his head. “Haha, you’re really humorous. I thought you were going to the restroom.”

Yu Zhiyi gave a perfunctory smile. “You are more humorous.”

After speaking, she immediately rolled her eyes.

“Anything else? If not, I’ll go first.”

“No.” Lin Dong had recently been studying *Guiguzi* and, on a whim, decided to show off his emotional intelligence. “Go ahead. It must be good news if the Biology Teacher is looking for you.”

Hearing this, Yu Zhiyi looked at him with a complicated expression.

“Because I switched classes, each class can only have one spot for biology advanced training. And Jiang Nian scored eighty in biology. Guess why she called me over?”

Lin Dong opened his mouth, unable to say a word for a long time, but still wanted to forcefully save face.

“Sai Wen lost—”

“Sai Wen?” Yu Zhiyi’s mouth twitched. She turned and walked away. “I’m not talking to you anymore. You boys are so childish, always talking about Sai Wen or Diga.”

Li Hua happened to be coming up from the stairwell; his office grilling had ended. He was full of energy, and hearing Yu Zhiyi’s words from afar, he subconsciously retorted.

“What did Diga ever do to you?”

Yu Zhiyi didn’t listen to the idiotic comments that followed and went straight downstairs.

First Floor.

Looking at the brightly lit Comprehensive Science office in front of her, she felt a mix of emotions.

When she switched classes, she had already considered this point.

But there was no way around it. It wouldn’t make sense for one class to have two advanced training students. There was no suspense about whom Jiang Nian and her Biology Teacher would choose.

Knock, knock, knock, the sound of knocking rang out.

“Come in.”

In the brightly lit office, only Zhong Qing was present.

She rubbed her eyes. Once Yu Zhiyi walked closer, she pointed to a nearby spot and said.

“Grab a stool and sit here.”

Yu Zhiyi nodded. Just as she moved the stool and sat down, she saw Zhong Qing pull out a score sheet. Her heart sank immediately, and she thought, *What must come, has come.*

“Teacher, I know I only scored 68 this time.”

“Mm, that’s an improvement.”

“Huh?” Yu Zhiyi looked up. “But… Teacher, last time I scored 71.”

“This exam was slightly harder, so small fluctuations are normal.” Zhong Qing glanced at her and pulled out a photocopy of her answer sheet, which had markings in red pen.

Yu Zhiyi took the black-and-white answer sheet photocopy, completely stunned.

“This is?”

“Your answer sheet. I was too busy grading to look at it, so I printed a copy.” Zhong Qing said. “I took a general look and did a little analysis.”

“Overall, the advanced training has indeed had some effect.”

Seeing Yu Zhiyi still staring blankly at the test paper, Zhong Qing didn’t continue speaking.

“Take a look first.”

In the silent office, Zhong Qing unscrewed her thermos and drank a mouthful of hot water.

Three minutes later, Yu Zhiyi looked up.

“Teacher, I’m done. I know the direction I need to work toward next.”

“Mm, it’s good that you have this initiative.” Zhong Qing put down her thermos and said seriously, “You recently transferred to Class Three, right? Each class only has one spot for advanced training.”

Yu Zhiyi lowered her head. She already knew the outcome and didn’t blame the Biology Teacher. In fact, upon seeing the answer sheet photocopy, she felt a vague sense of guilt.

She regretted not studying harder during the advanced training period recently.

The Biology Teacher was so responsible, yet she hadn’t tried her best to study. She was distracted by other things, resulting in her score being under seventy, which made her feel guilty.

But it was too late to say anything now. She had to walk the rest of the path alone.

Thinking this, she looked up and smiled.

“I understand, Teacher.”

“It’s good that you understand. Remember to complete the tasks I assign you on time in the future,” Zhong Qing said solemnly. “This opportunity is rare, and I hope you don’t waste it.”

“Huh?” Yu Zhiyi’s mind went blank.

Shouldn’t she be withdrawing from advanced training? Why was there still a “future”? If it were just extra assignments, it wouldn’t be hard to understand, but adding the phrase “rare opportunity”…

Wasn’t this clearly continuing the advanced training?

The Biology Teacher chose… her, between her and Jiang Nian?

“Do you have any questions?”

“Teacher, what about Jiang Nian?” Yu Zhiyi’s head was buzzing, and she asked subconsciously.

“He has already reached the excellent standard; he doesn’t need to continue advanced training,” Zhong Qing said with an expression suggesting this should be obvious. “You don’t want advanced training?”

“No, no, no!!!” Yu Zhiyi shook her head like a rattle-drum, asserting firmly, “I want to! Teacher, I will definitely work hard!”

“Mm, you should head up first.” Zhong Qing had intended to give her more analysis, but seeing her excitement, she gave up. “Oh, right, call Jiang Nian for me.”

“Okay, goodbye, Teacher.”

Yu Zhiyi went upstairs, her mood suddenly soaring. The instantaneous rollercoaster of emotions nearly brought her to tears.

Upstairs, Class Three classroom.

Jiang Nian turned in his seat and looked at Li Hua, asking.

“I still think what you said is wrong. What was Sai Wen’s mother’s name again?”

“Masha.”

“Never heard of Masha. My family is poor, I’ve only watched Diga.” Jiang Nian stroked his chin, as if pondering a problem of the century. “I think *Qi Ren Wang* is better.”

“Indeed, the older generation really knew how to have fun.” Li Hua stopped doing his homework and seriously discussed with him. “Childhood sweethearts versus the sudden arrival—wow.”

“Before, I was only focused on the Ladybug Boy’s *Qi Ren Wang*. Only now do I realize how good Qing Piaopiao’s figure is.”

“Yuck! You’re completely perverted, kid.” Jiang Nian looked disgusted. “Hua, you’re the real animal! You don’t even spare a damn firefly.”

“Hehe, credit goes to the artist,” Li Hua said modestly.

Before he finished speaking, Yu Zhiyi entered the classroom doorway.

Li Hua immediately fell silent, grabbed his pen, and pretended to seriously work on a problem. He was completely embarrassed, as his ex-boyfriend Wu Jungu was sitting in the row ahead.

Jiang Nian didn’t react much; he was a non-stick pan.

He glanced at Li Hua, then at the tense Wu Jungu. He clicked his tongue, then openly looked up and glanced at the QQ Candy.

Afterward, he pretended nothing happened.

If you don’t do anything wrong, you don’t fear ghosts knocking on your door. Li Hua really is a small fry!

Yu Zhiyi stopped at the edge of Li Hua’s desk, and several gazes were cast upon her.

She first glanced at Wu Jungu, seeing him hunched over his desk, doing homework as if oblivious to the world. She couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, but she didn’t dwell on it.

“Jiang Nian, the Biology Teacher asked you to go down.”

Hearing this, Zhang Ningzhi curiously turned her head to look at Yu Zhiyi, and her gaze immediately became fixed.

What a despicable body.

“Oh, oh.” Jiang Nian nodded.

After giving the notice, Yu Zhiyi returned to her seat with complex feelings.

She didn’t know how the Biology Teacher would talk to Jiang Nian about the advanced training, nor did she know if Jiang Nian would think she was behind it. In short, she felt anxious.

After a moment of distraction, she picked up the pen on her desk.

Teacher Qingbao loosened the pen in her hand, and it rolled down the page with a rattling sound.

Footsteps sounded at the office door, and she looked up.

She guessed the person outside must be Jiang Nian. At the same time, she thought silently: *If I guessed correctly, I’ll rush home tonight and go to bed an hour early.*

Jiang Nian appeared and knocked on the door.

“Teacher, you asked for me.”

Teacher Qingbao hummed, letting out a sigh of relief, her gaze distant. *I guessed correctly.* She thought about how she could clock out and rush home quickly after work.

“Find a stool and sit down yourself.”

Her attitude toward Jiang Nian was more casual; this student wasn’t so sensitive.

“Alright.” Jiang Nian pulled up a stool and sat next to her, glancing at the desk. “Teacher, that row of quick-drying pens is so pretty!”

Teacher Qingbao looked at the brand-new box of three quick-drying pens, still unopened, and hesitated for a few seconds.

“If you like them, I’ll give you one.”

“Thank you, Teacher.”

Jiang Nian’s words made Teacher Qingbao’s heart skip a beat. She felt like this student of hers was… The move was too practiced; his motives were a bit complicated.

“Teacher, do you like collecting quick-drying pens?” he asked casually.

“Mm, because I use them frequently.” Teacher Qingbao wasn’t in a hurry to talk about the advanced training, wanting to see what else he was up to. “They are practical tools, so I buy a few extra to keep on hand.”

“Indeed, practical tools that look this good. Teacher, your taste is excellent,” Jiang Nian complimented casually. “Right, Teacher, why did you call me here?”

“Mm, currently there are two people in biology advanced training.” Zhong Qing wanted to explain it in one sentence, but when the words reached her mouth, she didn’t know how to summarize. “…Can you guess?”

Jiang Nian looked puzzled. Was Teacher Qingbao being this abstract?

She asked him to guess without warning.

However, this gave him a chance to show off. He spun his clever little brain.

“Founding a Sect?”

Teacher Qingbao: “…”

She felt she might have overestimated Jiang Nian’s intelligence. No, she must have underestimated his thought process.

“According to regulations, each class can only have one spot for advanced training. Now Yu Zhiyi has transferred to your class. If your class still has two people, it wouldn’t be fair to Class Two.”

“Oh, oh, so one person needs to be cut?” Jiang Nian asked.

“Mm, after much deliberation, I chose Yu Zhiyi,” Teacher Qingbao said slowly. “Your biology score has already reached the excellent level. Continuing advanced training wouldn’t be very meaningful for you.”

Jiang Nian didn’t react much to this and nodded.

“Okay.”

Teacher Qingbao hummed and continued.

“Your foundation is solid, but your technique is lacking. You don’t need to dedicate specific time to advanced biology training. From now on, I will mark questions for you individually, and if you don’t understand, just come straight to me.”

“Hm, huh?” Jiang Nian was a little confused.

Did he switch from being an Inner Sect Disciple to a Personal Disciple?

“Do you have any questions?” Teacher Qingbao asked.

Jiang Nian didn’t speak, his gaze darting toward the box of quick-drying pens on the desk.

Teacher Qingbao fell silent.
