Chapter 286 Qianbao is a Dog

During morning self-study, Xi Bao walked around Class 3.

She thought to herself that she had a driving lesson at noon, so she would have to rush over after the second period.

It was really inconvenient working in a small county town without a driver’s license; sometimes she wanted to drive to work herself.

She couldn’t always be picked up and dropped off; it was too much hassle back and forth.

Besides, almost all the female teachers in the English office had driver’s licenses. Even if they didn’t drive many times a year, it was good to keep it to offset points on their license.

Of course, all of this depended on her being able to pass the test.

What kind of daydream was this newbie having?

She was even making plans.

In short, to break this curse, she decided to charge forward one more time.

Would she win?

Tap, tap, tap.

Xi Bao’s steps were light and quick. After walking through Class 3 for a while, she started covering her mouth and nose with her hand.

“Open the windows.”

In the back row, Jiang Nian watched that scene from afar and immediately burst into laughter.

“Xi Bao’s sense of smell is really sharp.”

Zhang Ningzhi nodded, agreeing.

“My former English teacher was the same. The first thing she did when she entered the classroom in winter was to have the windows opened.”

Hearing this, Li Hua commented sharply.

“Xi Bao is like a dog.”

“Teacher! Li Hua said you—” Jiang Nian immediately started to report him.

“red stone!” Li Hua was so scared his soul almost flew out. He quickly reached out and held Jiang Nian down. “Don’t spread false accusations, I meant like a West Highland.”

“What’s a West Highland?” Jiang Nian asked, puzzled.

“I know, it’s a kind of dog that looks like a doll,” Zhang Ningzhi said surreptitiously, covering the lower half of her face with a book. “They’re very cute.”

“Really?” Jiang Nian glanced at her and asked, “Do you have one at home?”

Ningzhi immediately looked dejected, “My mom doesn’t like pets.”

Jiang Nian understood, “Oh, she just raises you, right?”

Immediately, his arm was pinched.

“You are!”

It didn’t hurt, but it was a little comfortable.

“Alright, raising me is fine too,” Jiang Nian said, following her words, with an indifferent expression. “Wouldn’t that mean I don’t have to go to school and can just have a blast?”

Li Hua couldn’t hold back, “Isn’t that ‘imprisonment play’?”

Huang Fang, who was in the front row, rarely turned around, pursing her lips as she couldn’t help but laugh.

“What’s ‘imprisonment play’?”

“Hahahaha!!” The three of them burst into laughter together.

Hearing this, Zhang Ningzhi was so embarrassed her toes curled.

These people were too naughty.

And Fangfang, she was learning bad things too!

First English class.

Xi Bao leaned on one hand, suddenly feeling a bit tired. She subconsciously thought of Jiang Nian’s good qualities, almost wanting to call on her trusted general to substitute the class again.

Jiang Nian was doing problems, picking up the physics problems he had put aside yesterday.

He pondered deeply, passing the time.

Suddenly, he heard Xi Bao’s voice approaching, and couldn’t help but look up. The teacher and student met each other’s gaze, and Xi Bao gave him a knowing look.

Jiang Nian immediately leaned back, waving his hand in refusal.

No way.

Xi Bao was shameless enough, always making him substitute, calling it ‘coordination’.

Damn it, could she coordinate ten percent of her salary to him?

Seeing Jiang Nian refuse, she couldn’t help but sigh silently. She continued to walk around the classroom while lecturing, and also caught someone playing with their phone in class.

“Lin Dong, what did I just talk about?”

“Huh?”

“How do you say ‘phone’ in English?”

“Teacher, I didn’t bring it.”

“Three, two—”

Lin Dong looked pained, pulling his phone out from under his desk.

On the other side of the classroom.

“Tsk tsk, Dongzi is just weak,” Zeng You, in the corner, shook his head, looking regretful. “I still have a few cans of beer, I can save them for him.”

“Your dorm drinks alcohol?” Jiang Nian asked curiously.

“Wu Jun also drank.”

What the hell?

Wu Jun was caught off guard and turned to look at Zeng You. His face flushed, and after a long pause, he stammered, “I couldn’t sleep.”

After class, Lin Dong rushed over in a hurry.

“Brother, help me get my phone back.”

Jiang Nian was about to lie down and sleep, but was pulled up by him, looking utterly bewildered.

“Go find the English class representative, what use is it to find me?”

“He’s useless.” Lin Dong directly went all out in front of him.

Zhao Hao, the English class representative who was passing by, couldn’t help but have several big question marks appear above his head.

“??? No, buddy, I don’t agree with that.”

“Get lost, you don’t have a say.” Lin Dong pushed him away, racing against time, “Get it back now, my phone still has a chance.”

“If Old Liu finds out, I won’t get my phone back until next month.”

Jiang Nian thought for a moment and agreed.

“I’ll try.”

“Thanks, brother, you’re a good person with a hundred and eight kidneys.” Lin Dong was beaming with excitement.

The English class representative coughed, “In my opinion—”

Lin Dong turned, “Get out!”

“Aye, alright.”

Ten-minute break.

The corridor was still cold, with the sun hitting the end of the railing. Few people came out to get some air and chat; most were lying in the classrooms sleeping, except for those going to the restroom.

Jiang Nian went downstairs and ran to the English office to get the phone. He didn’t bother with pleasantries; with this kind of relationship, why beat around the bush? He just extended his hand.

“Teacher, the phone.”

Xi Bao was sitting at her desk drinking hot water and almost choked. She glanced at him.

“Are you Lin Dong?”

Jiang Nian said, “I’ll teach half a lesson of the test paper.”

Hearing this, Xi Bao raised an eyebrow, pursed her lips, and suppressed the smile that was about to appear.

“It’s in the drawer, take it yourself, just take whatever you see fit.”

Stealing half a day of leisure, and then stealing a little money from that leisure.

Rounding up, it was equivalent to getting paid by the school for free.

Jiang Nian retrieved Lin Dong’s phone and also took two packets of Sucking Fun jelly. He thought that Xi Bao eating this stuff seemed childish, but it was just right for him.

Back in the classroom, he returned the phone to Lin Dong.

“Here.”

Lin Dong, overjoyed and grateful, left.

“You really got it back?” Li Hua was dumbfounded.

“No, I bought a new one.” Jiang Nian casually brushed him off. “Put today’s defeated drinks in my desk, I’ll drink them this afternoon when I get back.”

“Damn it!” Li Hua thought, this person really knows how to bring up what shouldn’t be mentioned.

In the second period, Xi Bao taught for half the class, and then had Jiang Nian go up to explain the test paper for the remaining half.

In a flash, class was dismissed.

Both of them were happy, just waiting for class to end to go practice driving.

Xi Bao hastily assigned homework and left. Jiang Nian also got up when the broadcast for morning exercises began.

He turned his head.

Zhang Ningzhi was still sitting in her original spot, secretly glancing at him.

“Leaving?”

“Yeah, why else?” Jiang Nian whistled, looking relaxed, “I never used to feel it, but now I realize taking time off is really great.”

“Oh!” Zhang Ningzhi sounded a bit displeased hearing that.

She thought to herself, ‘You’re having fun, but what about me?’

Seeing her frown, Jiang Nian directly slapped a packet of Sucking Fun jelly into her hand.

“No need to be envious, bye-bye.”

Zhang Ningzhi: “…”

At the school gate.

Jiang Nian got into Coach Tian Yongsheng’s car, looking at the streets bathed in platinum sunlight, and couldn’t help but exclaim.

“Holy cow, it’s really a sunny day.”

Vroom! Vroom!!

Coach Tian had just started the car and, hearing this, couldn’t help but say.

“Boss, do you scholars also speak so unrefinedly?”

Jiang Nian fastened his seatbelt in the passenger seat, thought for a moment, and said.

“Fuck, so sunny day? How does that sound?”

Coach Tian drove with one hand, looking in the right rearview mirror while giving a thumbs-up, affirming.

“That sounds much better.”

“Coach, you have a bit of humor in you.”

“Hahaha, others say so too.” Coach Tian pressed the accelerator, and with a vroom, the car shot out. “Today, let’s get familiar with the car first.”

Twenty minutes later.

At the driving school grounds, teacher and student looked at each other in silence.

Xi Bao: “You ran out during class?”

Jiang Nian was also bewildered, thinking to himself, how could the person he was practicing driving with be Xi Bao.

“Ah, I took time off to come out.”

Hearing this, Xi Bao couldn’t hold back. She immediately reached out and pinched his arm.

“You’re someone who’s about to take the college entrance exam, and you’re not studying hard, but running out to practice driving? Do your parents know? No, I have to call your parents.”

“Hey, wait a minute.” Jiang Nian saw her about to pull rank as a teacher and quickly interrupted her spell. “Teacher, this isn’t school.”

“And then?”

“By seniority, we’re both students.” Jiang Nian turned to look at Old Tian, coughed, and signaled for him to come and mediate. “Driving practice is important.”

Old Tian was indeed worthy of being the head of the driving school, a VIP gold-medal private instructor.

Originally, he was just watching from afar, giving the teacher and student enough time to talk. Seeing the chaotic scene and Jiang Nian coughing, he immediately understood.

“Two bosses, let’s talk nicely, but let’s practice driving first.”

Xi Bao was a bit helpless, but still pointed at Jiang Nian, a strong warning in her gesture.

“I’ll deal with you later.”

red stone was there.

Jiang Nian was speechless, thinking that the county town was too damn small. How could he sneak out to practice driving during his time off and still run into his English teacher who had just finished class?

He squatted on the ground pulling weeds, watching Xi Bao bend over to adjust her seat.

Classic ‘nursing-style’ driving.

With a clunk, the seat immediately fell backward.

Jiang Nian chuckled, “Teacher, it’s getting cold, do you want me to get you a blanket?”

“Get lost!”

“Alright.”

Xi Bao was clearly a step ahead of him, already practicing Subject Two. But in essence, their progress bars were almost identical.

Vroom, the car started.

Bang, the car stalled.

Jiang Nian couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing.

“Hahahaha!!! It stalled!”

Xi Bao fumbled for a while, then stuck her head out the car window, saying angrily.

“Laugh again and I’ll beat you to death!”

Jiang Nian scratched his head, his shoulders shaking uncontrollably.

“No more giggling.”

Any ordinary coach would have lost their temper by now, or at least looked exasperated. But Xi Bao was a VIP, so Old Tian lied through his teeth.

“This car needs maintenance, it’s prone to stalling.”

Hearing this, Xi Bao regained her confidence.

“Exactly.”

Tian Yongsheng feigned tinkering with the dashboard for a few seconds, then said.

“It’s fixed, boss, let’s try again.”

Xi Bao was also easily fooled. She gripped the steering wheel with both hands, looked straight ahead, and gently exhaled, thinking she couldn’t let Jiang Nian look down on her.

Otherwise, when they went back, he’d probably chirp about her in front of the students.

Haha, the English teacher is so clumsy.

Exactly, exactly.

A clumsy English teacher, even her English sounds clumsy.

That kind of thing, absolutely not!

“I can definitely do it this time!!” Xi Bao pressed the clutch, then the brake, and slowly started. “It didn’t stall, that’s great.”

Tian Yongsheng, in the passenger seat, looked sideways. He didn’t know why this teacher liked to mutter to herself while driving. But out of respect for the boss, he let her mutter.

Jiang Nian was directly amused; Xi Bao’s driving was truly terrible.

She was supposed to turn the steering wheel to the left, but she only turned it halfway and then stopped. Then she watched the car go straight, looking completely bewildered and terrified.

Fortunately, Tian Yongsheng patiently guided her, and she stumbled through the Subject Two reverse parking. Then came other maneuvers, also with many stumbles.

Stalling on a hill, driving straight through an S-curve, thoroughly entertaining Jiang Nian.

Getting out of the car was more than ten minutes later; one could say her driving was a disaster. At this level, let alone taking the test, just driving around the practice area was embarrassing.

“Boss Jiang, come on!” Old Tian didn’t get out of the car.

Xi Bao got out of the driver’s seat and bumped right into Jiang Nian, letting out a hmph.

“First time here?”

“Of course not, I just came to look around.” Jiang Nian thought it was better to be humble, and said a few soft words before Xi Bao agreed not to tell his parents.

“Alright, you go ahead,” Xi Bao said.

“Okay.”

After Jiang Nian left, Xi Bao narrowed her eyes.

She had just heard that Jiang Nian was touching a car for the first time, and several wicked thoughts popped into her mind: would Jiang Nian plug the seatbelt into the passenger side?

Or would he stall the car as soon as he started it? Would the seat fall backward?

Heh, she was really looking forward to it.
