Chapter 338 Li Qingrong: Where did you go? There’s a smell of alcohol.

At the school gate.

Jiang Nian tossed the keys to Zhou Yuting, who had rushed over, and entered the school first, while Zhou Yuting chose to go straight home.

The third-year building was brightly lit, and he familiar went upstairs to his classroom.

It was the third self-study session of the evening.

Zhang Ningzhi looked up at Jiang Nian, who had entered from the classroom door, and couldn’t help but frown slightly, thinking, ‘Liar.’

He only said he was taking the morning off, but didn’t tell her he was taking the evening self-study off.

If it were anyone else, she would think they were just too lazy to tell people. But if it was Jiang Nian, he must be a cheating cat!

Jiang Nian was a bit confused, being glared at by Zhang Ningzhi as soon as he returned.

Damn, he wasn’t even playing Genshin Impact?

Since Ningzhi wouldn’t let him in, he had to go around the other side of the podium. He walked up to Li Hua’s seat and said, “Brother, I’m in a bit of a hurry.”

“I’m coming in.” Jiang Nian was about to stick out his leg.

“Wait!” Li Hua waved his hand, stopping him. “According to Class Three’s Anti-Nantong Law, you’re a bit out of bounds.”

One could only say that the thought processes of weirdos were all abstract in the same way.

Jiang Nian paused, then retracted his leg.

“Damn it, you even noticed that.”

So Jiang Nian entered from Zhang Ningzhi’s side again, and Ningzhi, as expected, softened. She moved aside, letting him pass once.

“Don’t come in from my side next time!” she said, displeased.

“OKOK!” Jiang Nian nodded.

When women speak, listen to the opposite; when men speak, listen with your little head. If no keywords are detected, generally ignore everything. Usually, high school students are the same.

If you have a conflict with a girl and she becomes polite, then it’s over; she’s definitely angry, and you should appease her.

If it’s a boy, it’s often the opposite.

Politeness = sarcasm, just beat him up. If he’s cold-faced, don’t provoke him; pool some money and get a massage.

He settled into his seat and took out a set of exam papers. In truth, last-minute cramming was no longer very effective. With only one day left until the major joint exam, one’s state of mind was more important.

Commonly known as’state.’

He had also considered whether to take revenge, a fierce revenge, on Liu Feipeng, but then he thought again. An eye for an eye, the exam mentality was important.

If he didn’t get revenge, his mentality would be missing a link. But with Sheng Zeyang around, going too far with revenge would also be detrimental to a Perfection mentality.

More importantly, Zhou Yuting told him yesterday that Liu Feipeng had also cheated. And it was organized cheating, selling answers.

How should he put it? He hoped everything went well for him tomorrow.

Jiang Nian stared at the ink on the test paper, lost in thought, silently recalling his gains over the past month.

Since the last somewhat watered-down Eighteen Counties Joint Exam, the System had activated almost every few days.

Over a month, it had exploded with a lot of money, and his savings had now reached the 300,000 mark, not including the items he had purchased.

From his former girlfriend Ningzhi, to his former girlfriend Song Xiyun, he had also gained some video fragments and a lot of information.

He had met Ningzhi’s father once at a parent-teacher conference; he seemed like the kind of person who would give him a bank card.

Then impatiently wave his hand, telling him to get lost as far away as possible.

Hehe, perfect for eloping with the money.

Combining the information revealed by the System, it could basically be concluded that Ningzhi’s family didn’t like poor boys or people with no future.

The theme of their relationship was tentatively set as: Family Background.

Song Xiyun’s timeline was even earlier, before university graduation. It was earlier than meeting Ningzhi, belonging to the?th former girlfriend.

As for why it wasn’t labeled the first, it was mainly because he wasn’t sure either.

However, this also indirectly confirmed a fact: if he didn’t study hard, he would only be able to rely on his looks to make a living in the future.

He tentatively set Song Xiyun’s relationship theme as: Poverty.

As for Xu Qianqian, the System gave many tasks. The rewards were also numerous, and there were memories, but in the end, it just couldn’t reach Perfection.

He thought about it and tentatively set the relationship theme as: Career.

Leaving aside his ex-wife, one relationship after another came to nothing. Whether it was poverty, family background, or career, he had none.

A series of coincidences, or a series of wrong choices. So much so that in the end, the situation became irrecoverable, and there were regrets everywhere.

If his ex-wife was included, then the theme would be: Midlife Crisis.

Others learn from history; he learns from the future.

So these three themes were also the three directions he would strive for in the future, and the solutions were simple: go to university and do tasks.

Talking about career now was a bit far-fetched; even after going to university, one wouldn’t immediately have a career, and starting a business was also a pitfall.

In short, as long as the situation developed for the better, it was progress.

In addition to this, the System had refreshed a new skill.

【Verification】.

All told, he already had four skill slots: 【Healing】, 【Fishing】, 【Precision】, 【Verification】.

The more he looked, the more he resembled a civil servant’s perfect body.

Eloquent, wealthy, strong, and with superpowers. Not to mention a smooth official career, at least a rapid rise to prominence.

Who knows, one day, the County Party Committee Office might have him.

In terms of uniting classmates, he had also made some progress this month. He had some friendships with most of the classmates in his class.

In terms of respecting teachers, he also had some insights.

His relationships with the three subject teachers were very good; the others… he wasn’t too familiar with.

Now, everything was ready, all that was missing was 610 points.

As long as he achieved a good score in the Acquired joint exam, even if he did poorly in December or had some fluctuations in the final exam, it wouldn’t matter.

In the teachers’ eyes, a highlight = capable, just not focused.

Moreover, he was already Qingbao’s closed-door Disciple. He also urgently needed a report card to Breakthroug the 600-point Foundation Establishment mark.

It could be said that everyone involved with Jiang Nian needed a resounding victory as their report card for November.

Jiang Nian was lost in thought when someone tapped him on the shoulder.

“Hmm?”

He turned his head and found that the person who tapped him was the class monitor.

Li Qingrong was wearing a khaki jacket today, with a black turtleneck sweater underneath. Her chest was full and prominent. Under the bright classroom lights, her flawless, cool features appeared even fairer against the black sweater.

Her eyes were gentle as she looked at Jiang Nian. Her voice had no emotional fluctuations. She cut straight to the chase and asked.

“Where did you go? I smell alcohol.”

Class monitor, so strong.

Zhang Ningzhi couldn’t help but turn her head, thinking that if she were to ask Jiang Nian, she would definitely be too embarrassed to ask directly, after all, she wasn’t a class cadre.

Even as a deskmate, out of concern, she could only make limited inquiries.

At that time, he would definitely drag it out, then change the subject. He’d give some perfunctory answers, and then it would just fade away.

The class monitor was different; so direct.

Jiang Nian froze for a moment, then decided to tell a half-truth.

“I went out to play.”

With whom?

Zhang Ningzhi pricked up her ears, whispering in her heart.

However, that sentence didn’t appear; the class monitor didn’t ask that many questions.

“KTV, a classmate had a baby.” Jiang Nian, however, volunteered the information. “So, he invited a few of us to get together.”

Zhang Ningzhi felt her brain was going to burn out. Why celebrate having a baby at a KTV?

Li Qingrong just hummed in response and didn’t ask anything else.

The last self-study session of the evening.

Jiang Nian remembered that the physics booklet should be returned to Yu Zhiyi. So he took one evening self-study session to meticulously review it again.

Doing exercises?

Doing exercises now was just to maintain his feel; it didn’t mean much to him.

Not just him, but other students in the class also chose to start reviewing. After all, it was a six-city joint exam, and they would see the city-wide rankings.

A dignified Prodigy, who didn’t have a bit of pride?

Moreover, this time’s opponents, in addition to current graduates, also included past graduates. Old Liu specifically mentioned that past graduates would also be included in the ranking.

Old Liu’s meaning was that the ranking would be more comprehensive, as they would also participate in the college entrance examination.

But in the eyes of Class Three, what they understood was: the old monsters of the Olympiad who failed their Ascension were about to return to the Zhennan Continent!

The Immortals… were about to descend again.

Not only did the former Olympiad old monsters participate in repeating a year, but there was also another type of person in Building D: university college entrance exam students.

Some people got into a 985 university, felt the major wasn’t good. Changing majors was too troublesome, and the university wasn’t great, so they came back to repeat a year.

These belonged to the Outer Realm Demonic Cultivators.

Jiang Nian heard that there were repeat students from Fudan University, Northwest A&F University, and Zhejiang University’s chemistry department who had come back.

This was just what he heard; he didn’t know about the ones he hadn’t heard of.

Ten minutes before school was dismissed, the classroom gradually became noisy. Li Hua reached out and patted Jiang Nian, saying with a serious expression.

“Acquired… close your eyes and open them when you get home, it’ll be Friday when it’s light, rounding up, the joint exam is tomorrow.”

“Oh.” Jiang Nian glanced at him warily. “And then what?”

“What about my English?” Li Hua shook his head and sighed. “One point of English can stump a hero.”

Jiang Nian’s mouth twitched. “The Uchiha clan has been annihilated, are you opening your eyes, damn it?”

“Holy crap!” Li Hua was a bit broken, covering his eyes and shouting, “My eyes, is it possible to wake up with X-ray vision?”

Jiang Nian said, “If you really open the Byakugan, remember to look at mine.”

“Damn, you’re really a pervert!” Li Hua couldn’t stand it and asked again, “Can full English conversation quickly help memorize words?”

Hearing this, Jiang Nian was silent for a few seconds.

“How about we try now?”

“Alright.” Li Hua readily agreed.

A few minutes later.

Jiang Nian and Li Hua’s English proficiency remained unchanged, but their sign language proficiency had advanced by leaps and bounds, and they could now communicate without barriers.

“red stone, isn’t this pointless?” Li Hua deflated.

Zhang Ningzhi couldn’t bear to watch anymore and suggested.

“Team leader, you can usually write English flashcards. Take them out and memorize them when you have nothing to do; it will be useful.”

“Useless, I have an idea that’s quite suitable for Li Hua.” Jiang Nian’s mouth curled slightly. “Sending English words to chat is a million times more effective.”

Li Hua was stunned, then immediately realized who Jiang Nian was referring to.

“red stone, red stone!”

“Hua, you’ve memorized the gang rules well.” Jiang Nian grinned. “Then I ask you, then I ask you, and the team member ‘red stone!'” Li Hua let out a sharp shriek.

After evening self-study.

Jiang Nian returned the physics booklet to Yu Zhiyi. Today, she was wearing a white base layer, her ample bosom swelling. Her youthful body exuded a vibrant charm, delicate but not seductive.

Her figure was like a college student’s from a Korean manhwa, but her clothes weren’t as bold. Instead, she wore Chinese high school attire, with a manhwa figure.

He didn’t look much, just waved and prepared to leave.

“Bye bye.”

“Wait.” Yu Zhiyi called out to him, asking seriously, “I sent you a message on QQ, why didn’t you reply?”

Hearing this, Jiang Nian took out his phone and glanced at it.

“Oh… borrowing biology materials, what good student looks at their phone all day? Wait here, I’ll get them for you now.”

Yu Zhiyi watched Jiang Nian leave, muttering to herself.

“What good student looks around all day, with eyes not at all honest. Is his face made of city walls, and he calls himself a good student!”

Soon, Jiang Nian returned and handed her a stack of biology test papers, which did not include Qingbao’s customized papers.

More of it was notes and various insights.

The two were helping each other; Yu Zhiyi was also weak in biology, and she and Jiang Nian could be considered fellow Disciples.

Exchanging resources was also a form of mutual assistance among fellow Disciples.

“What were you muttering just now? You weren’t cursing me, were you?”

“How could I be?” Yu Zhiyi smiled somewhat guiltily, changing the subject. “You must be hungry, hurry home and sleep.”

“Hey, you damn it!” Jiang Nian pointed at her.

An insult to Nian warning.

Jiang Nian and Xu Qianqian walked home, returning under the stars and moon.

Under the streetlights, their shadows stretched endlessly.

“Jiang Nian, I’m hungry.” Xu Qianqian said, carrying her backpack and with her hands in her pockets. “I want to eat miguo, can I?” Hearing this, his eyelids twitched.

“Eat, eat, eat, all you know is eating, you’re going to get fat!”

Migua was not sold on the streets; fried noodle stalls mostly sold rice cakes. Migua was only available at the North Gate, and otherwise… at home.

Migua was similar to rice cakes, but tasted different. However, this stuff was not easy to preserve; even in the refrigerator, it would get moldy.

The best preservation methods were only two: one was sealed vacuum preservation, and the other was immersing it in a large vat of wood ash water.

Xu Qianqian’s family had vacuum-preserved migua, and Jiang’s family had side dishes in the refrigerator.

Seeing that they were almost at the alley entrance, it was clearly unrealistic to detour to the North Gate to buy mixed migua; they could only make it themselves.

Moreover, Xu Qianqian was very picky; she only ate boiled migua.

“I’m not fat, besides.” Xu Qianqian argued, “I just suddenly want to eat it, can’t I?”

“Go away, go away, eat it in your dreams.” Jiang Nian didn’t want to move, perfunctorily saying, “Am I your family’s chef? Just start cooking without doing anything else?”

The cold wind on the street blew, and the night was deep.

Xu Qianqian wanted to eat hot boiled migua even more. Thinking of that taste, her mouth unconsciously salivated.

These past few days, in preparation for the major joint exam.

She almost drained all her energy, studying fiercely. She only stopped at this critical point, the day before the exam.

Xu Qianqian felt that she was only one bowl of migua soup away from complete victory.

“You make it, make it, make it.”

Jiang Nian looked at her and was also exasperated. This person was quite determined to eat something good, but he himself was firm in his will.

“Don’t even think about it, not even a dog would do it.”

Xu Qianqian was also exasperated. The two had already entered the alley. Seeing that they were getting closer to home, she couldn’t help but stamp her foot.

“Good brother, just make it for me?”

Under the streetlight.

Jiang Nian’s footsteps stopped; his entire being was in a state of suspension.

He turned his head and saw Xu Qianqian under the streetlight, her eyes seeming to ripple with water, and his bottom line instantly dropped. “Actually… dogs are human’s good friends.”

Xu Qianqian blinked, looking at Jiang Nian with sparkling eyes.

“Mhm mhm.”

In the Xu family kitchen.

Jiang Nian threw the chopped garlic sprouts into the pot, steam rising.

His phone dinged.
