Chapter Index

    Hearing this, the class burst into another round of laughter.

    “Teacher, it’s not a chicken, it’s Yang Qiming.”

    “Hahaha, damn, Lord Mao Ri Xing Jun has descended! My Brother Yang is really something.”

    “Ah, I’m wet, I want to marry him so badly.”

    “You pervert, you only like that. Hey, here’s a question, will Brother Yang crow while jerking off?”

    “Shut the hell up! The English Teacher is right here!”

    Xi Bao was completely bewildered, listening to the class chatter, one person after another. She vaguely understood what was happening, but still couldn’t believe it.

    “Yang Qiming, stand up.”

    The latter awkwardly stood up. He somewhat regretted imitating the chicken’s crow.

    “Teacher, I was wrong.”

    “I didn’t say you were wrong. I’m just curious how you did it.” Xi Bao looked like she was enjoying the show. “How about this, do it again for me to hear.”

    Hearing this, the class erupted in laughter again.

    Yang Qiming couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed, scratching his head.

    Seeing this, the class immediately started to egg him on.

    “Brother Yang, we people of Class Three have never chickened out, don’t lose face!”

    “Exactly, bro, don’t be a spoilsport, just do it.”

    “Isn’t it just crowing like a chicken? What’s so hard about that?” Li Hua, with his three-piece set of instigation, said, “Big man, don’t be like a sissy, twisting and turning. Just do it.”

    Jiang Nian turned his head, pointed a finger, and immediately arrested him.

    “Hey hey! What’s wrong with sissies? You’re a typical Chinese male mindset, you’re going on Xiaohongshu.”

    Li Hua got anxious and pointed back.

    “Damn, don’t take it out of context.”

    “Here’s a question, ‘taking out of context’ comes from the article ‘Don’t Take Out of Context’.” Jiang Nian pointed at him and said, “Aren’t you also taking it out of context by saying that?”

    “red stone red stone red stone!”

    Zhang Ningzhi rested her hands on the table, listening to Jiang Nian and Li Hua’s childish argument, and couldn’t help but cup her small face and let out a soft sigh.

    Boys are really too childish.

    Either crowing like a chicken or loving to egg people on, just like monkeys.

    Thinking of this, she secretly glanced at a certain person and couldn’t help but speak.

    “Jiang Nian, do you know there’s a parent-teacher meeting tomorrow?”

    “I know, what about it?” Jiang Nian looked confused, thinking to himself that Zhizhi really treated him like an idiot. “Nine-thirty in the morning, I remember it very clearly.”

    Zhang Ningzhi nodded and continued.

    “Yes, I just don’t know which group is on cleaning duty. So, do you have any idea?”

    Hearing this, Jiang Nian’s smile disappeared.

    He frowned deeply and solemnly turned to look at Zhang Ningzhi. After struggling for a long time, he still tentatively asked,

    “First, rule out our group, right?”

    Zhang Ningzhi shook her head, her pink lips moist, slightly parting and closing.

    “Wrong guess.”

    Jiang Nian’s face changed, and he couldn’t help but bury his head in his hands, collapsing.

    “Damn it, it’s over!”

    Over there, Yang Qiming imitated the chicken’s crow again, this time even more realistically. Everyone was impressed by his vocal skills, and Xi Bao stood frozen in place, then led the applause.

    Clap clap clap, Yang Qiming stood alone in a sea of applause.

    Even after the pain of betrayal he had just experienced, he was still moved by this bit of classmate camaraderie. Even if it was just a trick of crowing like a chicken, he could still draw a sense of accomplishment from it.

    At that moment, he understood.

    Actually, he could also imitate a dog’s bark, learned from an old man in his village. Regardless of whether it was a good Dao to learn, barking like a dog was easier than crowing like a chicken.

    No one would think he was going to perform, right? Haha, only an idiot would bark like a dog.

    Yang Qiming suppressed his desire to perform and sat down amidst the applause. His expression was calm, his demeanor elegant, exuding the heroic spirit of accomplishing something and then leaving, deeply concealing his merits and fame.

    “Bro, you’re amazing.” Huang Cailang leaned forward, praising Brother Yang across Zhou Yuting, sincerely saying, “I heard it and wanted to go back to the pen and squat.”

    “Haha, you’re exaggerating.” Yang Qiming waved his hand, humbly saying, “Just a small talent, not worth mentioning.”

    Zhou Yuting felt like throwing up. What kind of weirdos were around her!

    Crowing like a chicken, why not bark like a dog?

    Since the class promotion, she hadn’t had a single peaceful day, it was always chaos.

    Could there be some normal people? Were there no normal boys in this class?

    “I’m going to be depressed.”

    Jiang Nian lay on the table, completely resigned to life.

    “I can’t sleep in tomorrow, the sky has fallen. I kind of want to record my depression process online, then fast forward to a ‘try not to laugh’ challenge.”

    Hearing this, Li Hua gave a thumbs up.

    “Then you’ll be the next top hundred UP master, congratulations, congratulations.”

    Zhang Ningzhi was a little confused. She had only heard of ‘try not to laugh’ challenges. There were many such videos on foreign websites, and they seemed interesting, but she didn’t understand what they were talking about.

    She felt she wasn’t quite on Jiang Nian’s wavelength, and couldn’t help but feel a little frustrated.

    Hmph, they weren’t letting her join in.

    Although Li Hua couldn’t accept it, he was the group leader. Wu Jungu and Huang Fang calmly accepted the news; they were all emotionally stable guys and gals.

    Zeng You couldn’t take it anymore; he had already planned to stay up late reading novels.

    “Can I not come tomorrow?”

    “You can, find someone to swap with you.” Li Hua was also quite open-minded. “There shouldn’t be much to do tomorrow, just clean up after the parent-teacher meeting.”

    “Then forget it, sigh.” Zeng You gave up.

    It wasn’t that he had no friends, but he had finally gotten a holiday where he could sleep until he woke up naturally. Without a life-and-death friendship, who would swap duty with him?

    Jiang Nian had something to say, but was suddenly pulled by Zhang Ningzhi. “What’s wrong?”

    “You! No swapping!” Zhizhi’s small face was stern, her expression serious.

    “Why?” Jiang Nian was sweating like a small yellow bean, thinking he had committed a heavenly crime, why was she targeting him so much? “Brother Dong’s dad seems to be attending the parent-teacher meeting, I thought he…”

    “No!” Zhang Ningzhi interrupted him.

    “You’re being a bit overbearing, aren’t you guys just not letting me sleep in?” Jiang Nian was speechless. “I’m just a child.”

    Li Hua: “Bah, shameless.”

    Zeng You: “Despicable.”

    “You want to sneak away.” Zhang Ningzhi said, huffing.

    Huang Fang: “There’s a traitor in the group.”

    The only honest child, Wu Jungu, ignored the distractions and asked about the actual business.

    “What time do we need to be here tomorrow?”

    “Nine o’clock, no need to come too early.” Li Hua explained, “No cleaning in the morning, we just need to mop the floor and wipe the blackboard, the rest is receiving guests.”

    The Group Six all accepted their fate as servants, each with their own thoughts.

    After the first evening self-study session ended.

    Lin Dong left his seat, preparing to go to the Cafeteria to buy food.

    He had made a large profit yesterday, and the afterglow of it was enough for him to be lavish for an entire semester. Even without asking his parents for pocket money, he could last until the New Year.

    In a great mood, he decided to invite two or three friends to go with him.

    “Sun Zhicheng, Cafeteria bound?”

    Sun Zhicheng refused; his mind was preoccupied.

    His own failure was regrettable, but his enemy’s success was even more infuriating.

    Yang Qiming’s vocal skills deeply shocked him, and he even felt a bit sour inside.

    His one or two months of persistent pursuit of Chen Yunyun had made him somewhat lose himself. The old him had refined tastes, every move exuding style.

    The current him was purely a simple-minded person, having given up on improving himself.

    He couldn’t help but ask, was this really the right thing to do?

    Sun Zhicheng thought for a moment and decided to make a change. He picked up the transformation plan he hadn’t been able to start on Monday, and the first step to enhancing his charm was to find himself again.

    After that came reading. If one didn’t read “Gui Gu Zi,” it meant their social experience was mediocre. They couldn’t see through the essence of social relationships, lacked a broad perspective. Their future level would be just that, only able to live a relatively unsuccessful life.

    Damn, he kind of wanted to be Gui Gu Zi’s dog.

    Ah, his brain was itching, could it be that wisdom was about to activate?

    Yang Qiming glanced at him and Tsked.

    “Sick.”

    Sun Zhicheng stopped his wild fantasies, turned to look at Yang Qiming, and calmly said,

    “I’m sick, do you have a girlfriend?”

    “What kind of terrible username is that? ‘Kicking a lame person’s good leg hard’.” Jiang Nian complained, surrounded by Lin Dong and Hu Nianzhong, heading straight for the Cafeteria.

    He initially didn’t want to go, but Lin Dong vowed to pay for supper.

    There was no reason not to eat free supper.

    “It’s a throwaway account, just for fun.” Lin Dong chuckled. “I once met a woman on Xiaohongshu and argued with her for over a hundred comments.”

    “At the time, that woman’s username was quite provocative, something like ’43 Degrees Crazy Pleasant Goat’. I couldn’t win the argument with her, so to add a bit of Aura, I changed mine to this.”

    The group chatted and laughed, entered the Cafeteria, and bought a few meat pies. Lin Dong then ran to the convenience store and got three bottles of iced black tea, twisting open the caps for each person.

    The bell for the second evening self-study rang, but the three remained unmoved in the Cafeteria.

    “Brother Dong, can’t that platform be used?” Hu Nianzhong asked in a muffled voice. “I saw someone still making money today, and it didn’t seem like anything happened.”

    Lin Dong didn’t answer, vaguely saying,

    “You ask Brother Nian.”

    Jiang Nian glanced at him, “If something happens, it’s all over.”

    Hearing this, Hu Nianzhong nodded.

    “I understand, bro.”

    In fact, Jiang Nian didn’t want to say much. He hadn’t been involved in the first place. Saying more would only make it worse, making people think he had ulterior motives for speaking.

    High emotional intelligence: everyone has their own fate.

    Low emotional intelligence: I don’t give a damn.

    “Does Brother Dong have any other ways?” Hu Nianzhong asked again. “Next time, can you still include me? I’ll definitely be obedient, I’ll go east if you say east, not west.”

    Lin Dong hesitated. He only occasionally fleeced a little. Purely small-time stuff. Why did this guy look like he had found a differentiated track?

    If he found the vertical Domain through this handle, that would be terrible, wouldn’t it be a road of no return?

    Thinking of this, Lin Dong looked at Jiang Nian, hoping he could say a few words.

    “Cough cough, Brother Nian, what do you think?”

    Jiang Nian was concentrating on eating his meat pie and drinking his iced black tea when he was suddenly addressed. He stopped his actions, and after a careful chew and slow swallow, he frowned and slowly said,

    “My opinion is to reserve my opinion.”

    Lin Dong was defeated. The master was truly a master of feigning ignorance.

    On second thought, he wasn’t Hu Nianzhong’s father. Why risk a good friendship? Don’t let uneven distribution of spoils lead to enmity in the end.

    “I also think, let’s wait and see.”

    Third evening self-study session.

    Yao Beibei swapped seats with Jiang Nian. She specifically came over to do homework with Zhang Ningzhi and chat a little.

    Jiang Nian moved to the back of the classroom, sitting in Yao Beibei’s seat.

    Yu Zhiyi was in the front seat.
