Chapter 313 I’m Not a Low Score Guy

After the photo, Jiang Nian smiled slightly, wanting to retreat gracefully.

He thought, those bastards must be insanely jealous, their eyes probably red.

Those who sing praises of their brothers gain bonds of friendship.

But a wise man knows when to cut his losses; I’ll just be the Running Man of Zhennan for once.

Just as Jiang Nian was about to sprint, he was spotted by Li Hua, who had been ogling him. Completely disregarding their father-son affection, he immediately began to backstab.

“He’s trying to run!”

“Damn it, grab him, don’t let the dog get away!”

“BYD, Aruba him!”

The sports field immediately descended into chaos, with over ten boys chasing fiercely in the direction Jiang Nian had left. They chased him all the way outside the sports ground, continuously running in circles.

Other classes in their third year of high school had not yet completed the “Leaping Dragon Gate” ritual, and were still waiting. Some classes further back had even taken out stools and were resting in place.

People from other classes looked on in confusion at the teenagers running around the perimeter of the sports ground, wondering why that group of people was messing around.

“What are they doing?”

“Didn’t you hear? They’re doing Aruba.”

“Then when we dismiss, how about we Aruba our homeroom teacher?”

“Alright, I’ll ask Brother Shui if he’s in.”

The class next door overheard the discussion, so they turned to ask the backbone of the boys in their class.

“Brother Hui, the class next door is planning to Aruba the homeroom teacher.”

“Then let’s do it too, when Old Huang comes over.”

“Okay, I’ll find a few more people.”

Zhang Ningzhi and Yao Beibei left the sports ground, avoiding any mention of the Dragon Gate incident. This was partly due to shyness, and partly because it was too chaotic.

The grade leaders gave temporary orders, leaving little time for thought.

Moreover, each person only crossed the Dragon Gate once; hesitation would mean missing the opportunity. Even if they didn’t understand the situation, they had to go through with it in a daze.

After dismissal, Zhang Ningzhi also came back to her senses.

“I’m a little uncomfortable… Jiang Nian is just a dead scumbag.” After Yao Beibei took a photo with her, she turned and said seriously, “Zhizhi, don’t let him trick you.”

“Huh?” Zhang Ningzhi, wearing a skirt, looked bewildered.

The two girls were in a small grove, with sparse evergreen branches and leaves. White-gold sunlight pierced through the foliage, falling on the shaded path, with fine mist rolling.

“Isn’t it obvious?” Yao Beibei said.

“Obvious… what?”

Zhang Ningzhi knew what Yao Beibei was referring to. Without a doubt, Jiang Nian indeed had the suspicion of being a rotten cabbage, but the cabbage hadn’t started to rot yet.

Currently, Jiang Nian had not engaged in any substantive philandering.

Unlike that couple in Class B, who would use both hands and feet with the boyfriend while wrestling with the male best friend, with physical contact occurring occasionally.

In comparison, Jiang Nian was very clean.

If anything, one could only say that the cabbage’s mouth wasn’t clean.

There was even less of anything beyond friendship.

Even if we take a step back, if Jiang Nian wanted something beyond friendship, he should have shown it somewhat in his usual behavior. Could it be that he specifically skipped her?

Thinking of this, Zhang Ningzhi got a little angry.

Leaving aside what hadn’t happened, Jiang Nian was somewhat disrespectful to her.

“He clearly wants to string you along, dead scumbags are the most hateful.” Yao Beibei and Zhizhi had been together for several months, and a deep friendship had long been established.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t say such self-damaging words.

If Zhang Ningzhi reconciled with Jiang Nian again and these words reached Jiang Nian’s ears, she would definitely be seen as a pure ingrate, a complete white-eyed wolf.

It was precisely because she knew Zhizhi was a good girl, not a love-struck bitch who would sell out her best friend to please a boyfriend.

That she was willing to take a small risk and speak out righteously.

“Not really, his mind should be on the college entrance exam.” Zhang Ningzhi didn’t deny the word “string along,” because Jiang Nian was indeed very lecherous.

From head to toe, lechery was paramount.

In fact, she had secretly seen Jiang Nian browsing suggestive TikToks.

So on this point, she couldn’t refute him.

“Is his mind really on the college entrance exam?” Yao Beibei asked with a Soul-searching question, posing a hypothesis, “What if after the college entrance exam, he confesses to someone else?” Hearing this, Zhang Ningzhi’s eyelids twitched fiercely.

“No… he wouldn’t.”

However, though she said that, her heart ached fiercely. She had unconsciously put herself in that situation, and was already experiencing phantom limb pain.

A deskmate should be private property.

Just like the pigs raised by parents, although they might say it’s fine if they run away, deep down, their true thought is that if they run away, they’ll be sent to the slaughterhouse!

Although Zhang Ningzhi was a little flustered, she wasn’t completely without ideas. She knew Yao Beibei was thinking of her, but didn’t want to get stuck on this topic.

She thought for a moment and changed the subject.

“The college entrance exam is still a long way off, I haven’t thought that far. The college entrance exam is the most important thing in the third year of high school, and Beibei, you are also very important!”

She took Yao Beibei’s hand and said cutely.

“Our grades are similar, so we can still be together when we go to university.”

Hearing this, Yao Beibei also smiled.

“Got it.”

Although Yao Beibei was vulgar and abstract, her personality was quite mature, and she cherished Zhang Ningzhi as a friend.

On one hand, because Zhang Ningzhi had a good personality and similar grades to her.

On the other hand, it was ultimately because she had a clear understanding and plan for the future.

Unlike her peers, who were still confused and distressed about improving their scores to get into a bachelor’s program, she was already researching key universities and future university life.

Even… plans after graduation, the true situation of graduates after working, and so on. She gathered information from various sources and had a deep understanding.

The future employment situation was not optimistic.

It was precisely because of this that she had been uncharacteristically silent in preparation for the last mock exam, and had already chosen a fallback plan for herself: returning home to take the civil service exam after graduation.

Choosing an accounting and finance major, and utilizing family connections to work in the municipal tax bureau.

Coincidentally, Zhang Ningzhi was enthusiastic about education-related majors.

Moreover, Zhizhi was an only child, and both her parents lived in Zhennan. Coming from a well-off family, she would most likely choose to return home and become a teacher in a city middle school.

This meant their friendship would be long-lasting, possibly lifelong best friends.

Attending the same university, working in the same city after graduation. Nine-to-five with weekends off, driving to gatherings after work, and traveling on weekends.

For this reason, she couldn’t stand by and watch Zhang Ningzhi “fall.”

Fortunately, she saw that Zhang Ningzhi’s Heart-Nature was resilient, and her emotions, after a brief fluctuation, were hidden deep within. She couldn’t help but admire her, thinking to herself, no wonder Zhizhi was able to move up a class.

Yao Beibei thought for a moment and proactively suggested.

“When we’re done taking photos, I’ll ask Jiang Nian if he’s willing to come over for a group photo, okay?”

Hearing this, Zhang Ningzhi looked a little happy and pursed her lips.

“Okay!”

Seeing the expression on Zhang Ningzhi’s face, Yao Beibei couldn’t help but silently mutter another phrase in her heart.

Die, scumbag!

“Damn it, stop chasing, aren’t you guys going to take photos?” Jiang Nian was some distance from the dozen or so people, his voice slightly breathless.

Opposite him, the dozen or so boys, led by Li Hua, were leaning on their knees, panting like oxen.

“Run… keep running!”

“Take a photo, my ass. Even if we don’t do anything else, today we’re going to… Aruba you, we must rub you up and down fiercely, to wear down your dick.”

“Is that really necessary? You can’t outrun me anyway.”

Jiang Nian was speechless. These dog-things who fainted during physical tests were clinging to him. If they had shown their current strength during the autumn sports meeting, Class 3 would have certainly gotten a few more champions.

“We have more people, if we can’t outrun you, we have sons, and our descendants are endless.” Li Hua was dizzy from running, his chest on fire, and his words were a bit jumbled.

The only thing that remained unextinguished was hatred!

“Brother, I was wrong.” Jiang Nian relented. He still had to take photos with Xu Qianqian and the others later, he didn’t have time to waste with these stupid dogs.

“Ar… Aruba!” One boy was almost too tired to run, yet still spat out malicious words.

“Oh my god, I give up.” Jiang Nian was covered in sweat.

He ran, they chased.

Another ten minutes passed, and the bell for the end of the third period rang. The first and second year students also finished class, and a large crowd surged over to watch the third-year coming-of-age ceremony.

Li Hua and the others saw that they truly couldn’t catch Jiang Nian, whose stamina was unfathomable.

So they gave up on Aruba and instead questioned him,

“What’s your damn relationship with the class monitor?”

To be honest, if Jiang Nian had crossed the Dragon Gate with Zhang Ningzhi and Chen Yunyun, the brothers would have just cursed a bit, but they wouldn’t have lost their composure like this.

After all, one was Jiang Nian’s deskmate, and the other interacted closely with Jiang Nian.

If they insisted it was pure friendship, it could actually be argued.

When Liu Yang crossed the Dragon Gate, he also had a female classmate on each side. He was sunny, cheerful, athletic, a 1.8-meter-tall Silly, and it was normal for him to have good female popularity.

Jiang Nian’s mistake was in hooking up with the class monitor!

He should be killed!

“Damn, there’s really no relationship.” Jiang Nian had an expression of being wronged. “You guys know me, I usually don’t have any contact with the class monitor.”

Only this week, after all, tomorrow is Sunday.

And then I’ll be front and back deskmates with the class monitor again, hehe.

“Then how could it be…?” someone asked.

“Pure friendship,” Jiang Nian spread his hands.

“Damn it! Kill him quickly!”

Damn it, a bunch of people who can’t stand to see their brother do well.

Jiang Nian was about to run towards the school gate, using the small grove to shake off these sticky nuisances. Suddenly, a nimble voice sounded beside him, “Hi, senior.”

He froze, then turned to see Lin Yuxi standing there prettily. She was smiling, enthusiastically raising her hand to greet him.

“Oh, Brother Jiang, are you wearing an undershirt for your coming-of-age ceremony?”

Hearing this, Jiang Nian thought, “It’s over.”

Indeed, the group of beasts not far from him, seeing Lin Yuxi greet him and the enthusiasm in her words, completely went mad.

“Grab him! I’m so angry!”

“Don’t let him run, kill this guy!”

Even Li Hua and others, who liked to plan their pick-up lines in their hearts, thinking from the opening line all the way to getting married, having children, and what to name them, but at the last minute liked to act cool.

They were mainly about wild fantasies and restrained actions.

But when they saw Jiang Nian getting some… and even having a junior sister, they immediately couldn’t suppress the resentment in their bodies and felt the need to punch and kill this anomaly.

Are you trying to do a School Days thing?!

Beast!

Jiang Nian cursed and continued to run.

At the edge of the basketball court, Lin Yuxi looked bewildered as the group of people ran off. She couldn’t help but pout, her phone still in her clothes, never taken out.

She had originally wanted to try again, to add him on QQ.

Hmph.

Forget it, the joint exam at the end of next month is coming soon.

I’ll… just slightly keep my promise, I can’t let my senior look down on me. I’ve also been working hard on my studies for love during this time.

I! Lin Yuxi!

Am not a low-score kid!
