Chapter Index

    A pure, irrelevant threat. What’s the use of telling Zhang Ningzhi?

    My bro, you’re free to judge.

    Who saw it?

    Jiang Nian whistled, feeling cheerful.

    Today he lost three yuan, oh, and half a bottle of water, which was one yuan. Let’s say three yuan and seventy cents. In exchange for a good mood tonight, he really won big time.

    He didn’t fight, nor did he damage anyone else’s property. It was not very harmful, but extremely insulting.

    After the boss packed up and went home, would he be able to sleep tonight?

    Jiang Nian couldn’t know the answer, but he would definitely sleep soundly tonight. Taking an early shower on a rainy day, he would comfortably burrow into his covers, dry and cozy.

    In the front row, Zeng You the Great’s phone was plugged into a Romoss power bank, lying on the desk.

    Perhaps out of boredom, he was also chatting with his roommate, Wu Jungu.

    “It would be great if this rain could keep falling until tomorrow morning, just this light drizzle. It would be so refreshing to take a shower, drink a couple of sips of water, and then go straight to bed.”

    Wu Jungu glanced at him, asking curiously,

    “Why drink water? Won’t you be woken up by needing to pee in the middle of the night?”

    Zeng You shook his head and said with a chuckle,

    “You don’t understand this. Falling asleep in this kind of weather is the first most refreshing thing. When you’re woken up by needing to pee in the middle of the night, and after going to the toilet, you check the time and it’s 3:30 AM, that’s the second most refreshing thing.”

    “Brilliant! You get two sleeps in one night.” Jiang Nian clapped his hands, leaned over, and exclaimed, “Holy crap, you really know how to enjoy yourself.”

    “Of course, peeing in the middle of the night is the essence.” Zeng You said proudly, “I often read novels until 2:30 AM, then pass out and fall asleep. When I wake up…”

    “Guess what time I woke up? 3:30 AM! It means even though I stayed up late, after a deep sleep, I can start another sleep all over again.”

    “Holy crap, that’s awesome. No wonder you’re so energetic every day.” Jiang Nian was a qualified hype man.

    “You flatter me, you can try it too.” Zeng You was a little embarrassed.

    Wu Jungu saw them chatting happily and hesitated to speak.

    What the heck… The amount of sleep time is still the same, isn’t it? Even if you pee seven times a night and your prostate swells up, a night is still only seven or eight hours.

    Suddenly, Jiang Nian asked,

    “Zeng You, what if you wake up in the morning, go to the toilet, and find that there are only three minutes left until the bell rings?”

    Hearing this, the smile on Zeng You’s face disappeared.

    “Holy crap, I’d really want to die then.”

    “But then again, our dorm is on the fifth floor.” Zeng You said, “Aside from being a bit hot in summer and cold in winter, it’s actually not bad.”

    “I have a classmate from Liberal Arts Class B, their dorm is on the first floor where it’s perpetually dark. No light at noon, and mushrooms grow on the dorm mop.”

    Jiang Nian hadn’t reacted much, but this description gave Wu Jungu, who was beside him, goosebumps.

    “Can people even live there?”

    “Of course, it’s just that the corner doesn’t get any light.” Zeng You, taking advantage of evening self-study, spoke with great animation, “**** (protective encryption).”

    “Ugh!” Wu Jungu was already dry heaving, “No, please don’t say it, ugh!”

    “Holy crap, you’re really disgusting.” Jiang Nian also couldn’t take it anymore, admitting defeat, “If it were me, I’d switch to day school, it’s too terrifying.”

    “Tch, how much does dorming cost? Renting is expensive.” Zeng You tossed his hair, “You guys are too weak, you clearly don’t have much boarding school experience.”

    “When I was boarding at a rural junior high, the conditions were truly terrible. Taking cold showers in the dead of winter in December, and behind the bathroom was a mass grave.”

    “Where are you from?” Jiang Nian asked curiously.

    “From Tianshi Town.”

    “Oh, oh, that area is a bit backward.” Jiang Nian said, “The most developed big town around Location should be Yunmu Town, where Chen Yunyun and them are from.”

    “Indeed, they have a large population, and many milk tea shops and snack stores.” Zeng You nodded, “Our area is all quarries.”

    The two chatted with increasing enthusiasm until the evening self-study ended.

    Zeng You was still a bit unsatisfied; there was so much to talk about from junior high. That period in rural junior high was chaotic and messy, with delinquents rampant.

    The school gate was full of fights, and campus bullying was everywhere. The third-year students even swapped dorms and set up a stairwell specifically for making out.

    After entering high school, he found that everyone around him was normal.

    One day, on a whim, he searched online for the fates of junior high delinquents and was surprised to find that online, delinquents either earned hundreds of thousands a year or were masters of social maneuvering.

    He suddenly felt a pang of bitterness; wasn’t all that bullying he suffered for nothing?

    After evening self-study, the physics class representative handed out the test papers.

    Yao Beibei took an extra test paper, folded the blank one, and put it into Zhang Ningzhi’s drawer. She turned around and saw Jiang Nian taking pictures of the test paper, and couldn’t help but wonder,

    “Are you searching for answers?”

    “What nonsense, I’m just taking a picture to archive it.” Jiang Nian was speechless, turning the camera towards Yao Beibei, “Come on, let me archive one for you too.”

    Yao Beibei covered her face with her hand, “Are you sick?!”

    “So what?”

    Jiang Nian ignored Huang Beibei, sending all the test paper photos to Zhang Ningzhi. Then he started doing the test paper, calmly waiting for the answers.

    An entire class passed, and he only looked up when the bell rang.

    Since this was just a regular physics quiz, the requirements weren’t that strict. Theoretically, it was fine even if the papers were collected a little late.

    Jiang Nian had written everything he knew and left blank what he didn’t.

    Buzz, Zhang Ningzhi had already sent the answers.

    He glanced at it, pulled out the blank paper, and copied them down for her. He had to admit that Branch Branch Baby’s grades were both high and solid; she could even solve physics problems.

    The fake hexagonal-Jiang Nian.

    The true hexagonal warrior, Branch Branch Baby, could only be considered passable; strictly speaking, it should be the class monitor.

    After copying, Jiang Nian couldn’t help but look back at the class monitor.

    Li Qingrong had already finished. Seeing him look back, she paused for a moment. She extended her slender fingers and pressed them onto her finished test paper, slowly pushing it forward.

    “No, no, it’s okay.” Jiang Nian saw that Li Qingrong had misunderstood and quickly clarified, “I’ve already finished, I just want to see how many points I can get.”

    Li Qingrong pulled her paper back, nodding.

    “Mhm.”

    Although he said that, Jiang Nian turned around and changed the answer to the sixth multiple-choice question.

    It was originally B.

    He had principles, but not many.

    Li Hua had finished long ago, burying his head in reading A Shuai. He occasionally let out wise laughter, damn him, he was also getting his work-life balance in.

    Damn! It made him so jealous his dick spun.

    After the papers were collected, Jiang Nian followed the crowd out to pee.

    Due to the delayed end of evening self-study, the corridor was exceptionally quiet, with almost everyone else in their classrooms studying, except for their class.

    Until that damn kid Li Hua slid out of the classroom door and excitedly shouted in the corridor,

    “Holy crap, wanna go to the Cafeteria to buy food?”

    Suddenly, three to five boys shouted “Holy crap!” in unison, and then, in a boisterous group, they swaggered past the door of Class Two, enthusiastically discussing the physics test paper.

    “Holy crap, the answer can still be calculated?”

    “Huh? Can that small question be done? I only wrote one formula.”

    “Ah ah ah ah ah!!! I think I missed a step, will that damn teacher deduct points?! I don’t want to live, boo hoo hoo, what a mess!”

    Jiang Nian blended in, and after observing, he came to a conclusion.

    The sixty-point goblins who spoke with reason and analyzed the cause and effect of physics problems seriously. The eighty-point heroes who smiled without speaking and felt nothing.

    The exaggerated, crying, making a fuss, and threatening to jump off a building ones were the one or two-point deduction jerks like Li Hua.

    Third period of evening self-study.

    “Spitting water?” Yu Zhiyi seemed a little surprised, “You mean someone had an argument with the vegetable roll vendor at the entrance and then spat water in the boss’s face?”

    “Yeah, I heard the scene was explosive.” Her deskmate shook his head, clicking his tongue in wonder, “Too bad I went to the front gate to buy food, I didn’t see the classic scene.”

    Yu Zhiyi frowned, her gaze involuntarily falling on Jiang Nian’s seat.

    Spitting water, such a familiar phrase.

    It couldn’t be such a coincidence, could it?

    Huang Cailang’s thoughts were a bit scattered. He would sneak away before the end of this evening self-study. Carrying his things, he would follow Yang Qiming to find his ex-girlfriend.

    Because second-year high school students didn’t need to attend four periods of evening self-study, they had to leave early.

    Actually, skipping class wasn’t a big deal; as long as he found a suitable excuse, like a stomach ache, he could easily get away with it.

    The main point was, could Brother Yang win?

    Serving one’s lord means being loyal to one’s duties. Since he ate Brother Yang’s food, he naturally had to share Brother Yang’s worries. How could Sister-in-law be so unreasonable? It would be great if they could reconcile.

    But then again, if they reconciled, would he still get to eat shrimp dumplings?

    Bah! How could he have such thoughts!

    Huang Cailang shook his head vigorously. Even if he couldn’t eat shrimp dumplings, it didn’t matter! One must have a conscience. Shrimp dumplings weren’t important; Brother Yang’s happiness was the most important.

    Unconsciously, his eyes became clear.

    He was a loyal subject!

    As self-study was about to end, Jiang Nian turned his head and asked curiously,

    “Why did those two leave?”

    “Probably to use the restroom.” Yao Beibei replied without looking up.

    She was currently working on a math test paper and couldn’t solve the last problem. But she didn’t want to ask Li Hua, so she thought of Jiang Nian. She patted Jiang Nian’s shoulder.

    “Jiang Nian.”

    “What do you want?” Jiang Nian said with a pair of dead fish eyes.

    “Look at this problem, do you know how to do it?” Yao Beibei handed the test paper to Jiang Nian, “If you solve it, I’ll tell you a secret.”

    Jiang Nian glanced at the problem and said, “Oh.”

    “This problem, huh~”

    “How do you do it?” Yao Beibei’s eyes lit up.

    “First, write’Solution’, the paper is all blank.” Jiang Nian commanded as if it were obvious, “Write it, why are you looking at me? Are you going to write’Solution’ on my face?”

    Yao Beibei suddenly got angry, but for the answer, she endured it.

    “Fine.”

    “And a colon. Aren’t you going to write a colon after’Solution’?” Jiang Nian looked like a strict teacher producing a brilliant student, “A colon, two dots, one above the other.”

    “What else?” Yao Beibei asked through gritted teeth.

    “Copy the given conditions once. ‘Given, then we can obtain…'” Jiang Nian patiently instructed, “Write it, Huang Beibei, why are you looking at me again?”

    Yao Beibei was calm, a smile on her face.

    “Alright, and then? I mean the problem-solving approach, you wouldn’t not know it, would you?”

    Jiang Nian looked puzzled, then said seriously,

    “That’s my problem-solving approach. I’ve always done problems this way. You’ll get at least one point, and if you write one more formula, you might even get two points.”
