Chapter 277 Let me tell you something really cool.

In the afternoon, Tao Ran brought a comprehensive science test paper from the office.

“Ahem, clear your desks.”

Halfway through the exam, the students in Class 3 realized there were no invigilators and immediately became restless.

“No way, why are these trash exams getting more and more casual?”

“I’m not writing anymore, I’ll just copy a bit.”

“I’m not writing either.”

Yu Tongjie looked at the noisy group and couldn’t help but deeply agree.

If an exam has no invigilators, what’s the point of the exam?

Ultimately, it was just a practice session, so there was no need to be so nervous.

Thinking this, he relaxed his entire body.

In a blink of an eye, two classes passed.

Even though two-thirds of the exam process was over, he had only just started the first major chemistry question. Was there enough time? Definitely not.

But did it matter? It didn’t matter.

This was just a practice session; everyone was just copying and messing around.

Suddenly, he heard someone ask a question.

“Li Hua, are you done?”

“Only two questions left.”

“I’m almost done too; let’s check answers later.”

In an instant, a bolt from the blue flashed through Yu Tongjie’s mind. He looked down at his largely blank answer sheet, his lips trembling uncontrollably.

Liars!

Damn it, is there any truth in this class?

The bell rang.

Jiang Nian was already writing the physics problem, estimating. With one class left, he could finish the entire test paper and even look at the questions he skipped.

Every minute counted, and he was delighted.

In this day and age, everything had to be fast.

He secretly glanced at Li Qingrong and found that she was also writing the physics problem. He thought to himself that he was also improving, matching the pace of the class monitor.

The exam time flew by; in a flash, the comprehensive science exam was over.

Jiang Nian looked at the answer sheet over and over, wishing he could squeeze out another point from some hidden corner. He struggled until the last second before finally handing in the answer sheet.

Would it be graded?

Hard to say.

Perhaps if he didn’t submit it, it would be graded, but if he did, the whole class might cross-grade.

Li Qingrong packed her stationery, taking a moment to glance at Jiang Nian. He had already walked to the back row, while her seat was in the first row of the second group.

They were no longer front and back desks, but separated by the distance of a classroom.

She just lowered her head, packing her things, her eyes dark.

The comprehensive science exam only took three class periods, but there was still a short self-study session left. High school seniors on each floor flocked to the restrooms, and the corridor was bustling.

Jiang Nian returned to the classroom after using the restroom.

The corridor was too crowded and cold; after the temperature drop, the wind made one feel stupid. Only Liu Yang and his friends were still chatting there, their jackets open, prioritizing style over warmth.

Boys are like that; the colder it gets, the fiercer they become.

Their combat power depends on the intensity of the cheering voices around them and the number of pretty girls within a few meters. If they’re not pretty, they won’t bother to show off; it’s bad for their health.

The back door closed, and Jiang Nian looked at Zhang Ningzhi, immediately gaining +10086 mischievous thoughts.

“Aren’t you going to the restroom?”

Zhang Ningzhi was still wearing Jiang Nian’s school uniform. She had originally brought her own clothes at noon, but seeing that Jiang Nian wasn’t wearing his, she simply put hers to good use.

At this moment, she was hunched over her desk doing homework. Hearing him, she couldn’t help but turn to look at Jiang Nian.

“Are you… in charge?”

Seeing this, Jiang Nian felt a little guilty.

Oops, he had pushed the honest kid to her limits.

Zhibao had clearly evolved from the “don’t bully me” state to the “I really want to punch you twice” red state, from “you’re bad” to “you die”!

This was not a good sign, after all, they were deskmates who could see each other when they looked up and almost kiss when they looked down. If he angered her, he wouldn’t have any good fruit juice to drink later.

To be precise, he would be eating the northwest wind.

“In fact, I am a grateful person,” Jiang Nian said.

“Are you?” Zhang Ningzhi expressed doubt, though she didn’t actually refuse to communicate. “Tell me, who took you to the cafeteria entrance at noon?”

“It was you.”

“Then you still…” She said half of it, her little brain unable to find a suitable adjective, she couldn’t say XP, “You’re insubordinate and ungrateful!”

“Your subject deserves death, but I suggest killing my son, Li Hua; I would suffer more,” Jiang Nian, with flexible principles, turned to look for Li Hua’s whereabouts.

Coincidentally, Li Hua walked over with drinks, just about to hand them out. Seeing Jiang Nian and Zhang Ningzhi both looking at him, he immediately felt something was amiss.

These two were always bickering and had been in cahoots for more than a day or two. Could it be that this time they were united against an external enemy, planning to attack him?

Li Hua asked while distributing drinks.

“Why are you looking at me?”

Zhang Ningzhi thought for a moment and replied.

“Jiang Nian said to sentence you to death.”

“red stone, don’t include me in your little skits,” Li Hua was annoyed, twisting open a drink and taking a sip.

Then he remembered that he had lost a week’s worth of drinks, and immediately felt heartbroken, secretly vowing never to gamble with Jiang Nian again.

At this moment, Zeng You returned.

As soon as he sat down, he twisted open 【Li Hua’s Daily Drink】. With a gurgle, he took a sip, then thanked both Jiang Nian and Li Hua.

Finally, Zeng You looked at Li Hua again and asked curiously.

“Team leader, was that you standing in the restroom for a long time without peeing just now?”

Pfft!

Li Hua spat out a mouthful of drink, coughing incessantly.

“Cough cough!! What the hell! Don’t slander me!”

“Team leader, is your kidney not good?” Zeng You pursued the attack.

“Speechless, I haven’t been to the restroom,” Li Hua stood up, trying to escape the embarrassment. “It’s a bit hot; I’m going outside for some fresh air.”

Zeng You said, “I took a picture.”

Li Hua’s steps halted, and he almost fainted.

“Bro, that’s the men’s restroom, what the hell are you doing?”

Jiang Nian watched the whole thing, his face almost splitting from laughter.

The team’s moral low bar had been updated again; Zeng You was purely uncouth, but he was entertaining. What you say comes true, isn’t this another auspicious saying?

“My proud Hua is probably ruined.”

Li Hua saw Jiang Nian still fanning the flames and was so angry his lungs were about to explode.

“red stone, red stone! A bunch of perverts!”

As more and more people returned to the classroom, Cai Xiaoqing also began to maintain discipline.

“Quiet, return to your seats and self-study.”

The comprehensive science exam being over meant the weekly test was finished.

Because they had lingered for a long time after the exam, the already short self-study session ended just a few minutes after it began.

Hu Nianzhong stood up and glanced at Yu Tongjie, who was slumped on his desk.

Although he wasn’t quite sure why this person had become so dejected, it at least spared him the trouble of being questioned. That money, in fact, shouldn’t stay in his hands for too long.

After all, it wasn’t for saving loose change for retirement; quick money either led to huge profits or huge losses.

Actually, it was still Lin Dong’s platform, but Lin Dong had pulled out first, fearing a crash. He had indeed pulled out at the time, but then secretly invested again later.

All the money, including what he earned and what Yu Tongjie gave him, a total of three thousand yuan, was all thrown in.

To be honest, if it crashed, he really didn’t know what he would do.

Going downstairs.

The sky was dark, and Hu Nianzhong tightened his school uniform.

He walked in the cold wind, blending into the crowd returning to the dorms. His mind had been a bit unsettled these past two days, so much so that he hadn’t seriously written the weekly test.

Yesterday, he called home; his mother had fallen. A portion of the medical expenses was reimbursed by the hospital, but the remaining amount was still unaffordable.

Fortunately, his uncle had covered it, but this money had to be repaid.

Hu Nianzhong knew very well that he was the only hope of his family. As a future young adult university student, he would have a job eventually, but his family was almost at its breaking point.

Going to university offered interest-free student loans, but his family still had little income. This meant his family would have to endure another four years of hardship, and he didn’t want to wait anymore.

Back in the dorm, he lay on his bed, pulled out his phone, and looked at his “assets” again.

The current situation was that if he stopped tonight, he could only leave with less than four thousand yuan. If he waited two more days, he might be able to leave with eight thousand yuan.

Staring at the numbers on his phone screen, he fell into deep thought.

Creak, the dorm door was pushed open.

Lin Dong looked up at the upper bunk and saw Hu Nianzhong lying there.

“What are you doing?”

“Nothing, just a bit sleepy.” Hu Nianzhong didn’t dare tell Lin Dong he was still playing, so he just pretended to be sleepy. “Brother Dong, have you eaten yet?”

“Later, I’m still waiting for Zeng You and the others.” Lin Dong was just bored, which was why he was visiting other dorms. “It’s fine, you go to sleep.”

Lin Dong left, and Hu Nianzhong slumped back into his covers powerlessly.

He originally just wanted to lie down for a while, but he unexpectedly fell asleep. When he looked up, the empty dorm room was lit, and the time was six o’clock.

“Damn, I overslept.”

Hu Nianzhong grabbed his clothes and hurried downstairs, originally planning to buy two steamed buns and rush to the classroom.

But looking out the North Gate downstairs, the sky was already completely dark. Several faint orange lights hung high, and outside was the only way home to catch a bus.

He walked out as if possessed, suddenly wanting to go home. But it was just a thought; in the end, he just walked from the North Gate all the way around to the West Gate to clear his head.

Unconsciously, a light rain began to fall under the dark sky.

Hu Nianzhong walked absentmindedly from the North Gate like a wandering spirit. When he looked up, he was already at the West Gate. It was close to evening self-study, so there weren’t many students.

He glanced at the time and couldn’t help but run a few steps forward.

Near the exit of a small alley, a dazzling light suddenly shone towards him. In that instant, his vision was almost instantly blinded.

Screech!!!—

An ear-piercing brake sound, a scream, and Hu Nianzhong felt his body hit by something. Instantly, the world spun, and then he fell heavily to the ground.

Wait, he didn’t seem to be hurt?

He was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and saw Jiang Nian’s face.

Evening self-study.

Jiang Nian glanced at the physics teacher on the podium, writing class problems while saying to Li Hua.

“Hua, I’m going to tell you something really awesome.”

This was their common opening phrase; basically, when this sentence appeared, ten minutes of time would be devoured.

Li Hua looked indifferent. If he chatted in the front row, he would get caught by the teacher. If he chatted in the back row, he would also get caught by the teacher. So what was the point of being in the back row?

Of course, his biggest confidence came from his near-perfect score in physics.

Thus, even if he was caught chatting by the physics teacher on stage, the teacher couldn’t directly say, “Chat, chat, chat!! Did you get a perfect score in physics?”

If he really said that, he would slide tackle onto the podium.

Ice cream, ice cream!

Old man, you were right!

“Go ahead, your father is all ears,” Li Hua said calmly and composedly, having completely forgotten the embarrassment of the afternoon.

What kidney issues? It was clearly nervousness.

Who the hell could pee with someone staring at them? Could he be blamed when there were so many people around?

Obviously not.
