Chapter 211 The Book Hidden in the Fish’s Belly

Zhang Ningzhi would also get sleepy in class, so she usually chose to listen to the lesson while resting her head on the desk.

She would listen to the lesson and catch up on sleep at the same time; anyway, the pile of books was high.

Although the teacher standing on the podium could see everything, this trick was mainly about burying one’s head in the sand. It wasn’t necessarily about fooling the teacher; fooling herself was enough.

At this moment, Zhang Ningzhi was clearly a bit sleepy.

The air in this classroom was like a sleeping pill; she felt sleepy sitting and sleepy standing. She was sleepy if she hadn’t eaten enough, and sleepy if she ate too much. In the afternoon, it made people so sleepy they were practically gone.

The scientific explanation was that there were many people in a small space, with over sixty people in one classroom breathing in and out.

If the windows weren’t opened in the afternoon, the sleepiness would be boundless.

Some students in the class would bring a small oxygen tank. When they felt like they couldn’t breathe, they would take a deep breath from the oxygen port, and immediately feel refreshed.

This oxygen thing only worked wonders when one’s physical condition was poor.

In the past, some schools would organize top students to collectively inhale oxygen before the college entrance exam, and there was even a time when an entire class was organized to receive IV drips, but none of it had much effect.

Jiang Nian reached out his finger and gently poked Zhang Ningzhi’s arm.

“Cough.”

Zhang Ningzhi immediately sat up straight. After realizing it was Jiang Nian, she turned her head and gave him a rather resentful look, her lips pursed, clearly unhappy.

“What are you doing?”

“Nothing, reporting you for sleeping in class.” Jiang Nian only dared to carefully add to her anger, afraid that a slight provocation might lead to him losing control.

“You wouldn’t dare!” Zhang Ningzhi raised her cute little fist, looking fiercely adorable, “If you report me, I’ll beat you up as soon as class is over.”

She was no longer the innocent and naive girl from when she first joined the class. Under Jiang Nian’s indescribable corruption, she had completely matured and had ways to deal with his provocations.

Holy cow, she’s countering my moves.

Jiang Nian paused for a moment, meaning that his recent poke had only touched Baby Zhizhi once, but he hadn’t really angered her, so forgiveness wasn’t even a factor.

Hmm.

Li Hua was already awake. Seeing that the physics class was about to end, he deliberately turned sideways to join in the fun, squeezing into their chat channel.

“How can you sleep in class? As the saying goes, if a young man doesn’t work hard…”

“Just die already.” Jiang Nian pushed him away and said speechlessly, “You were sleeping like a dead pig just now, don’t talk.”

Zhang Ningzhi covered her mouth and chuckled, no longer sleepy.

Plan failed.

The second and third classes passed like flowing water, with nothing happening.

Jiang Nian did want a reward, but he wasn’t that desperate.

What he wanted was to complete the task without making Zhang Ningzhi angry. It wasn’t about constantly raising the stakes after one failure until Zhizhi was completely angry, and then trying to coax her.

One shouldn’t be so cheap.

Doing such things for a reward, wouldn’t he do even more outrageous things next time?

Afternoon self-study.

Jiang Nian was bored doing problems, temporarily putting the task aside.

A Heaven-Defying note was passed over and landed on Jiang Nian’s desk. He was stunned, opened it, and saw “Lend me a red pen” written in red ink.

Signed Beibei.

He turned his head and saw Yao Beibei pouting to the side, signaling to pass the note to Zhang Ningzhi. He couldn’t help but feel speechless and crumpled the note.

He pulled out a red pen from his desk and casually tossed it in the direction of her seat. The red pen crossed half the classroom and accurately landed in Yao Beibei’s hand.

Yao Beibei was stunned, looked up at Jiang Nian, then looked down at the red pen she had caught, and fell into deep thought.

How did it get here?

“Hey, hey! Nian, look!” Li Hua held a blue shark-shaped pencil case, acting lively and anxiously said.

“Quick! Quick, break open the stupid fish’s belly!”

Jiang Nian was about to be driven crazy by these people, all of them not studying properly.

I have important things to do!

However, compared to arguing with Li Hua and falling into a cycle of endless teasing, clearly cooperating with his act would save more time.

So, Jiang Nian, with a speechless expression, unzipped the shark pencil case.

The fish immediately stopped flopping.

Li Hua gasped, making an exaggerated expression. “A note! There’s actually a note in the fish’s belly!”

Damn it, simple-minded children have more fun.

Jiang Nian gave him a deadpan look and impatiently pulled out the note from the pencil case.

【Li Huaxing, Furongwang】.

Seeing this, Jiang Nian was speechless, having lost all his language modules.

Li Hua panted excitedly like a dog.

“Read it out! Read it out!”

Jiang Nian glanced at the note and said.

“Granny Liu entered and exited Li Hua seven times.”

“Tease! Tease!” Li Hua let out a sharp cry, unable to tolerate such crude words, “You’re so boring, I’ll go find Ma Guojun instead.”

Before he finished speaking, a voice suddenly erupted from the classroom doorway.

“The moment I walked in, I saw you, Li Hua, chatting with Jiang Nian!”

Old Liu, with his hands behind his back, flashed into the classroom from outside.

“It’s you two again! Stand up!”

The real connection between Jiang Nian and Old Liu, speaking of it, had to be credited to Young Master Jieni.

At that time, Jiang Nian had just transferred to the class and was thoroughly mocked by Jienigui behind his back. It made him furious. After confronting him, he found that this guy had a bit of a strong background.

Old Liu was willing to vouch for him, and Jiang Nian also took advantage of the situation and got some benefits.

Being so generous, isn’t it reasonable to give some privileges?

Jiang Nian always advocated in class that when encountering deduction problems, don’t panic, think twice. Can it be avoided? Can it be shirked? Can it be blamed on Class Four?

Actively caring for the class, isn’t it reasonable to give some benefits?

Only at this moment, Old Liu was truly being a bit unfair. Jiang Nian had no choice but to stand up first, and then he was taken to the office by Old Liu.

In the office.

“Have I not emphasized in class that chatting is forbidden during self-study!” Old Liu sternly reprimanded, “This isn’t the first or second time I’ve caught you chatting.”

Li Hua stood, enduring Old Liu’s wrath.

“Yes, teacher.”

Old Liu didn’t say much, just gave Li Hua a few simple pointers.

“Alright, you stand there and reflect for a while.”

Managing a class is like cooking small fresh fish; neither constant high pressure nor complete laissez-faire is advisable.

Regarding this, Old Liu had his unique insights.

The homeroom teacher doesn’t care about everyone’s right or wrong, only about order and chaos. He needs to ensure that students appear safely in the classroom every day.

Then, he focuses on difficult students, ensuring that no one in the class falls behind in their studies or life.

As for making the class excellent, it actually still depends on grades. Being honest and well-behaved is for the leaders to see, to make them think that Olympiad Class Three is very disciplined.

Li Hua had no complaints about being taken to the office, but… he turned slightly and saw Jiang Nian sitting in a chair resting, his back molars almost ground to dust.

“Teacher, Jiang Nian did it too.”

Hearing this, Old Liu looked up at him.

“You are the main culprit, he is an accomplice.”

“Holy cow? It can be like this!” Li Hua was almost fainting, “No, teacher, holy cow, I…”

Jiang Nian smiled and pointed at him.

“Born of a mother.”
