Chapter 297 If someone insists

“Forget it, none of that matters anymore.” Zhou Yuting sighed.

“Doesn’t matter?” Jiang Nian interrupted her.

“What do you mean?” Zhou Yuting was startled.

“Nothing, I’m just reminding you before we talk,” Jiang Nian said, his eyelids slightly lowered. “Our relationship isn’t good, so don’t say anything useless.”

Zhou Yuting paused at his words but quickly composed herself.

“Alright.”

After about two seconds of silence, she, standing in the shadows, spoke again.

“Are you the Clown?”

“Are you fucking sick? Did you come to find me just to insult me?” Jiang Nian looked annoyed. “Are you so bored you’re looking for a scolding?”

“No, I’m not talking about you,” Zhou Yuting said, a little flustered. “I mean there’s a QQ… forget it, if it’s you, there’s no need to explain.”

Jiang Nian’s expression didn’t change. “BYD, no explanation, you want me to guess, right?”

With that, he turned to leave.

“Wait a moment.” Zhou Yuting called out, pausing him.

However, Jiang Nian left without looking back. Originally, he didn’t have to come out. But why did he come out? Because the end of the month was approaching.

I did it, so what?

Someone has to report this group. Who will be this little darling?

Of course, Jiang Nian wasn’t just targeting Zhou Yuting alone.

There was also Liu Feipeng and his friends, all of them idiots.

Mountains don’t turn, but rivers do. In a small place like Zhennan, if two people have a conflict, they’ll inevitably run into each other again. When that happens, he’ll directly deal with that big turtle son, Liu Feipeng.

In the dark corner, Zhou Yuting watched Jiang Nian’s retreating back.

Her heart was almost constantly sinking.

It’s him!

Even if “the Clown” wasn’t him, it had something to do with him or Lezhi.

As soon as she thought of Lezhi’s father’s profession, Zhou Yuting was stunned. Could Lezhi have really gone undercover? Hadn’t she just walked into a trap?

Meanwhile, Jiang Nian returned to the classroom.

Li Hua immediately leaned over, asking curiously.

“What did she want with you?”

Hearing this, Zhang Ningzhi, who was doing problems, also stopped writing.

“Oh, nothing, an old classmate asked about something,” Jiang Nian said truthfully, but only half-truthfully. “Just a small matter, what’s up?”

“Nothing, I’m thinking about what to wear for the Coming-of-Age Ceremony,” Li Hua rubbed his chin. “Nian, do you have any really cool suggestions?”

Zhang Ningzhi heard their topic shift from Zhou Yuting, so she didn’t bother listening and continued with her homework.

As for what to wear for the Coming-of-Age Ceremony, she certainly wouldn’t discuss it with Jiang Nian, this incredibly perverted guy who was never serious.

She had already agreed with Yao Beibei that when their online-bought clothes arrived tomorrow, they would wear best friend outfits together. In the last year of high school, friendship was also super important.

In reality, Li Hua also meant the same thing.

He wanted to wear some gay-looking clothes with Jiang Nian and Ma Guojun, at least the GoGo Sentai outfits, not just plain, uninspired clothes.

“Really cool suggestions, huh?” Jiang Nian thought for a moment and suggested, “How about… not wearing anything?”

“red stone, I asked for really cool suggestions, not to expose ourselves!” Li Hua blushed a bit, then turned to look at Ma Guojun. “What do you say, Old Ma?”

Ma Guojun pushed his glasses up with his middle finger. “Wear women’s clothes.”

“You’re pretty perverted too, wear them yourself.” Li Hua thought, why am I the only one anxious about this? “Seriously, we can’t just wear anything, right?”

“Why not?” Jiang Nian retorted.

“I don’t want to hear that, take it back!” Li Hua pointed at Jiang Nian. “Youth, geigei, the Coming-of-Age Ceremony only happens once in a lifetime.”

However, Jiang Nian rested his head on his hand, his dead fish eyes unmoved.

“So?”

“Shouldn’t we go wild once?” Li Hua asked.

“Wild,” Ma Guojun nodded.

“Yeah, I said not to wear anything, and you disagreed,” Jiang Nian then pointed to the big Ma Guojun across the aisle. “Ma Guojun said women’s clothes, and you disagreed with that too.”

“Damn it, are you guys even human?!” Li Hua clutched his head in despair.

“The Coming-of-Age Ceremony is the day after tomorrow. What are you guys planning to wear?” Lin Dong asked within their group.

“Best friend outfits, I guess.” Chen Yunyun chose the most conservative approach.

Of course, she also knew some of the most liked strategies.

But it was impossible to use them in front of the public; she could only open the game and lock in Cai Wenji to play support in a private setting.

She didn’t particularly like playing Zhang Fei because the character model wasn’t cute.

However, if a certain person insisted, she would give it a chance.

“Why is everyone wearing that? Then A-Cheng and I will wear the same too,” Lin Dong thought for a moment and also chose the most conservative approach.

“Our group can wear the same thing, you know,” Wang Yuhe said.

“No, there’s not enough time,” Lin Dong pointed out the most crucial point. “There’s only one day left until the Coming-of-Age Ceremony, it’s too rushed.”

“Alright,” Wang Yuhe pouted.

Sun Zhicheng’s heart had completely withdrawn from the online world. “A-Cheng, Back from Online Chatting,” he wanted to show off in the real world.

He put on an indifferent expression, but in reality, he had been eavesdropping ever since Lin Dong and Chen Yunyun started talking.

Although he wanted to continue targeting Chen Yunyun, he didn’t want to show it. He thought that after some tempering, he was different now.

More humorous, with a healthier mindset, and less prone to agitation.

So, he deliberately ignored Chen Yunyun and said in a low voice.

“We could rent a formal outfit.”

“That’s one way, but what we can think of, others can too,” Lin Dong dismissed it without even thinking. “With only one day, it’s hard to find suitable group outfits. They’ll either be dirty or not good-looking. Since the girls have already chosen their clothes, it’s better to wear separate outfits.”

Sun Zhicheng secretly lamented that he had realized too late.

If he hadn’t fallen into online chatting from the beginning, would they have already decided on group outfits by now? Then could they have taken a group photo in the last year of high school?

Missing this opportunity, perhaps only the graduation photo would allow them to wear the same clothes.

The class uniform was even uglier beyond belief.

“Then you guys choose yourselves. I heard some boys in class are planning to rent suits,” Wang Yuhe turned and said. “There are also those Japanese high school boy outfits.”

“Conan?” Chen Yunyun’s mind immediately conjured this thought.

Lin Dong: “…”

Sun Zhicheng: “…”

On the other side.

Li Hua inquired around the class and found that his classmates were not traditional at all. Someone rented a kilt, like Xiao Shenyang’s style.

A portion of them also rented small suit jackets, costing dozens of yuan a day.

He looked at the photos; they weren’t classy at all.

Chicken should like to wear them.

Yang Qiming and Huang Cailang, those two perverts, rented a set of special effects costumes: General Dada Guai and Corporal Xiaoxiao Guai.

Damn it, I’m really envious.

Li Hua really wanted to wear a set of GoGo Sentai outfits with Jiang Nian and Ma Guojun. Unfortunately, those weren’t humans, they were fruits, so the costumes were quite abstract.

Damn it, no good clothes.

But the most perverted one had to be Dong Taishi; he was preparing to cosplay a secondary dimension hero. Damn it, DJ, just thinking that there was such a Heaven-Defying guy in the class.

Li Hua shivered directly.

The fourth period was an extra-long evening self-study.

Li Hua returned from outside the classroom. He had just used the five-minute pee break to ask around in the neighboring classes for information about the Coming-of-Age Ceremony.

These few Olympiad classes in senior year were all quite eccentric; people wore all sorts of things.

Some planned to wear security guard uniforms, others planned to wear programmer plaid shirts. There were even construction site safety vests and hard hats, directly turning it into performance art.

It must be said, prospective university students with specific target schools and majors were really creative.

Of course, they weren’t all wearing these things alone. Whether it was for art or to attract attention, such outfits were always done in groups of good friends.

One person is embarrassing, two people are weird, three people are sick, four people are crazy, and five people are glorious.

Therefore, Li Hua was a bit anxious.

He sat down, scratching his ears and cheeks for a while. He patted the big Ma Guojun hunched over his desk doing problems, then patted the downer guy, Jiang Nian, and said.

“No, are you guys really planning to just wear school uniforms and be done with it?”

“Didn’t say that. Do you have any good suggestions?” Jiang Nian looked up blankly.

“Let’s hear yours.” Ma Guojun also had a ‘I’m not thinking’ look.

“Damn it, a bunch of lazyasses!” Li Hua was exasperated, he admitted he got anxious first. “I was thinking, why don’t we get some small suits?”

Ma Guojun said faintly, “They don’t have my size.”

Li Hua rubbed his face, his eyes red.

Ma Guojun is the sun.

Damn it, Ma Guojun, why are you so fat!

At this critical moment, Jiang Nian offered a new idea.

“Just get trench coats, wouldn’t that solve it?”

Hearing this, Li Hua’s eyes immediately lit up.

“You know what, trench coats could actually work. I’ll go ask tomorrow noon and see if I can rent three.”

The discussion came to an end.

Actually, Zhang Ningzhi was quite hoping to see Jiang Nian in a suit. When she heard the group leader’s suggestion was rejected, she felt a small pang of regret.

Trench coats are okay, she couldn’t imagine what they’d look like.

Judging by the group leader’s reaction, boys seemed to really like trench coats.

Although she completely didn’t understand why.

After evening self-study, the corridor was packed with people.

Jiang Nian still left early, but when he reached the third floor, he found that no one from Olympiad Class Four had come out yet. On closer inspection, their homeroom teacher was talking again.

Seriously, it’s annoying. She doesn’t talk early or late, but precisely at dismissal time.

BYD, does she hate having too long a lifespan?

After waiting ten minutes, when most of the people upstairs had left, Class Four finally dismissed.

Xu Qianqian was caught in the flow of people, slowly walking out with her backpack. She habitually scanned outside and tilted her head the moment she saw Jiang Nian.

“Let’s go, why are you just standing there?”

“No, I mean, what’s up with your homeroom teacher?” Jiang Nian met up with Xu Qianqian, unable to help but complain. “She’s deliberately tormenting you guys, isn’t she?”

“Oh, she said there have been a lot of deductions recently.” Xu Qianqian walked downstairs, her eyes looking up the stairs. “Our homeroom teacher said…”

She lowered her voice, deliberately waiting until they reached the second floor before continuing.

“She said the boarding boys in our class don’t get up early and keep getting points deducted, like a sieve. Then the boys in the class argued with her, and it eventually got out of hand.”

Hearing this, Jiang Nian immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

The deductions in Class Four weren’t entirely his responsibility, but he had contributed a little bit of effort.
