Chapter Index

    During the big break for morning exercises, Jiang Nian ambled to the third floor.

    His luck was good; he happened to bump into two girls at the stairwell entrance.

    More accurately, the three of them were squeezed together by the jostling crowd, like a cargo of sardines.

    Jiang Nian was in front, and he could feel a small hand pressing against his back to prevent him from bumping into them directly with his chest. No.

    To prevent his front chest from pressing against their backs.

    He turned his head with difficulty to look at Xiao Song and Xu Qianqian, and in the tone of a young immortal, he said,

    “Who touched me? Come with me to the police station.”

    “Are you sick!” Xu Qianqian was exasperated, rolling her eyes at him. “Who wants to touch you? If you don’t want to take the stairs, you can jump.”

    Xiao Song, purely emboldened by someone else, actually nodded as well.

    “Exactly.”

    Jiang Nian’s electronics factory referral plan hadn’t even been implemented yet; it was directly strangled in its cradle by negative reviews, leaving him feeling depressed.

    He changed the subject and asked directly,

    “Do you want to go for a check-up?”

    The two girls looked at him, exchanged glances for a moment, and Song Xiyun instantly realized he was asking her.

    After all, she was the only one who had been on an IV, and that too in the middle of the night.

    “No, no, my illness is all gone.”

    Hearing this, Xu Qianqian glanced at Song Xiyun and also felt that her illness was a bit strange; she had suddenly developed an uncontrollable high fever.

    “How about we check it out this weekend?”

    “No need, it’s too much of a waste of money,” Song Xiyun softly refused, feeling a warmth in her heart. “Really, I’m completely fine now.”

    Seeing her insistence, Xu Qianqian didn’t ask further, thinking it might just be a minor cold, and the probability of a serious illness was too low.

    Jiang Nian also didn’t ask, walking down the stairs. He waved below the third-year building, and after parting ways with the two girls, he walked into the sunlight.

    Logically, this matter should have been kept from Xu Qianqian.

    However, Jiang Nian had a change of heart; no matter what plan he made, if he expended a lot of energy and it was discovered, he would just be a pure clown.

    And it might not even be achievable, and if it were, it would be like using a high-powered cannon to swat a mosquito.

    It was better to just ask directly; anyway, Song Xiyun would refuse. The next time, he could randomly catch her and just have her keep it a secret alone.

    No plan was the best plan.

    Asking was just a whim, a chance for a free check-up. He didn’t want to waste it, so he’d take her ID to the hospital.

    On the sports field, the winter day was clear.

    “Holy crap, the report cards are already out?” Yang Qiming took the lead, running from the back of the track to the front. “Class monitor, is that true or false?”

    “That fast?” Liu Yang expressed doubt.

    “Mm.” Tao Ran, the Minister of Rites, nodded, saying amidst the thunderous marching music, “I saw them in the office.”

    “Then we must appreciate them thoroughly.” Lin Dong sped up and ran forward. “Next English class, I’m going to look at everyone’s grades in the class.”

    “Let’s see yours.” Li Hua also left the formation, and the boys’ formation immediately scattered like loose sand. “What’s your total score?”

    “A little over 580, why?” Lin Dong looked at him. “How much is yours?”

    Li Hua skipped and bounced as he ran, his mouth almost grinning to the sky.

    “You should let me take over as math class representative.”

    “Damn it, I’ll kill you!” Lin Dong got angry, throwing a punch. “Damn you, you beast, don’t run!”

    Li Hua ran happily, darting directly into Class 2’s formation.

    Jiang Nian, bored, lagged at the very end of Class 3’s morning exercise formation, waving his hand weakly, wondering what to eat for lunch.

    His gaze swept over the circle of people at the edge of the track, the “sick individuals” who had taken leave from morning exercises, and his eyes met Yu Zhiyi’s.

    Since Yu Zhiyi ran with a ‘thump-thump-thump’ sound, she simply used various excuses not to participate in morning exercises.

    Old Liu, seeing Yu Zhiyi’s stable grades, simply let her be. He also didn’t like to go against students, belonging to the moderate faction.

    Pride brings loss, humility brings benefit.

    Even if Yu Tongjie was swapped out, he didn’t feel anything. He already had Li Qingrong; he couldn’t have everything, could he?

    In short, students were his base. Although he was single-mindedly pursuing progress, he would not forget righteousness for small gains.

    It was precisely because of this that Class 3, despite being so abstract, still had class cohesion.

    Jiang Nian averted his gaze, not looking at Yu Zhiyi. He thought, why is this person like Old Liu, always thinking about progress?

    It’s almost written on her face: I want ~! Biology class representative!

    Want to snatch Qingbao’s attention, is this palace intrigue?

    Regarding this, Jiang Nian truly had no confidence.

    After all, he never watched palace intrigue dramas and couldn’t outwit women. If Consort Yu Zhiyi ascended, what would happen to him, Noble Consort Nian?

    However, since he had agreed, the matter still had to be done.

    After all, the conditions were quite tempting.

    “School Lock Pearl Curtain,” “Beauty’s Schemes,” “Biography of Consort Nian,” “Nian Nian’s Strategy,” and “School” are hot on screen.

    Seeing that they were almost done running, Jiang Nian planned to speed up a bit.

    Just as he overtook a primary school student, Wang Yuhe instantly caught up again.

    Jiang Nian looked on in confusion, thinking, where did this idiot come from? So old, yet still fighting over such childish things.

    He chuckled, sped past Wang Yuhe, and added a curse.

    “The loser’s height will shrink by three centimeters next year.”

    Chen Yunyun: “.”

    Wang Yuhe instantly took the bait, charging forward with all her might. The two chased each other, and the already messy formation completely scattered.

    On the left, Lin Dong, that five-hundred-point stray dog, was chasing Li Hua; on the right, Wang Yuhe, the primary school student, was chasing Jiang Nian, stretching the battle line.

    As the few of them bickered, the few classes ahead were also disrupted.

    As expected, the few Olympiad classes were severely criticized by the grade leader.

    Xie Zhihao was wearing a smartwatch today, capable of even playing games on it, and he was confident he could outshine everyone.

    Unfortunately, during the two morning classes, everyone was drowsy, and no one appreciated his smartwatch.

    By the time of morning exercises, he probably rolled up his sleeves. As he ran, the smartwatch on his wrist gleamed exceptionally bright in the sunlight.

    Originally, a few people had already noticed him, but unfortunately, Jiang Nian, who suddenly darted out, stole the spotlight.

    He hated it, feeling stifled!

    What was the difference between showing off that couldn’t be shown and a plane that got stuck halfway and exploded in the male actor’s face!

    However, during the third class break.

    When Xie Zhihao planned to continue showing off, he found that no one was paying attention to him. He turned his head and saw everyone gathered at the doorway looking at the grade sheet.

    He felt depressed, so he also went over.

    From afar, he heard someone exclaiming, “Holy crap, Jiang Nian is over six hundred points? And 616, that’s insane?”

    “He got 590 last time, so it’s normal for him to improve a bit this time.”

    “Oh no, I’m going to have to call him ‘master’.”

    “It seems I must emerge from seclusion; the beast-eared girl matter can be put aside for now. From now on, I will focus my energy on studying.”

    “Class representative, give it up.”

    Chen Yunyun looked up at Jiang Nian’s rising score. Her eyes couldn’t help but narrow, happier than when she saw herself get a high score.

    She turned to Jiang Nian and said with a smile,

    “You scored so high.”

    Jiang Nian glanced at her and asked,

    “Are you higher than you? Can you make a wish for me to score higher than you next time?”

    Chen Yunyun immediately became honest, thinking to herself, how can this person lie about everything except this one thing?

    “No.”

    “So realistic, holy crap.” Jiang Nian thought for a moment, then said, “Then if I give you 16 points, wouldn’t you be able to pass 650?”

    Chen Yunyun heard this but still shook her head and said,

    “I still don’t want it.”

    Jiang Nian just took it as a joke; how could anyone not want points that were given to them? Of course, if they really gave them to him, he wouldn’t want them either.

    After school at noon.

    A crowd gathered again by the grade sheet, blocking the way out of the classroom, and those passing by also looked as they walked.

    “The class monitor’s score is too abnormal, isn’t it? Unrivaled through the ages.”

    “Didn’t they say big exams are generally harder? How come some people keep getting better scores? Those few girls’ single-subject scores are also incredible.”

    “Biology first place is indeed Jiang Nian, is this even humanly possible?” Lin Dong exclaimed, “Even the biology class representative resigned.”

    “I’m saying, could it be that Jiang Nian is taking on the role of biology class representative?”

    “That’s hard to say, his English score is also in a league of its own.” Liu Yang looked in a certain direction. “Could it be that the English class representative also…”

    Zhao Hao, the English class representative in the crowd, saw everyone looking at him. His expression suddenly changed, and he couldn’t quite maintain his composure.

    “Where’s Jiang Nian? That bastard scored so high, he’s a top student with over six hundred points now.”

    In the crowd, Sun Zhicheng’s heart grew colder.

    Not only couldn’t he see Jiang Nian’s scores drop, but how could someone’s grades keep rising? If this continued, he might really catch up to the class monitor.

    Please… You… Collect _ (6 \ \ \ 9 \ \ \ Book \ \ \ Bar!)

    Sun Zhicheng was eager for Jiang Nian and the class monitor to be together, but not for their grades to be so close. Could they really go to college together?

    When that day came, he would definitely not be happy.

    Cafeteria.

    When Xie Zhihao sourly told this news to the siblings across from him, the younger brother, Xu Yuanshan, subconsciously felt unconvinced.

    “Just over six hundred points, what’s so strange about that?”

    Hearing this, Xu Shuang stopped her chopsticks.

    Her pale face lifted, she glanced at her brother, and couldn’t help but frown slightly.

    “He’s not even competing with you.”

    The two siblings were similar in age, but the older sister, Xu Shuang, was born a year earlier. She had repeated first grade once as a child, which is why she was in the same grade as her brother.

    That memory was already blurry; she only remembered many people had repeated first grade.

    Therefore, Xu Shuang, compared to her unruly brother Xu Yuanshan, was relatively more mature in mindset and better at dealing with people.

    “Tch, he can’t compare to me either.” Xu Yuanshan showed a hint of superiority on his face. “Sis, our goal is Li Qingrong.”

    Xu Shuang frowned; she thought it might be possible to use Jiang Nian to spur on her brother, to temper his sharp edge.

    “He’s making progress; don’t you feel any sense of crisis?”

    “No matter how much he improves, he’s still just over six hundred points.” Xu Yuanshan was a bit displeased, feeling that his sister was deliberately trying to suppress him.

    It was one thing to use Li Qingrong as an example to motivate him, but what was the logic in using Jiang Nian, who scored just over six hundred, today?

    “Sis, are you really that optimistic about this Jiang Nian?” Xu Yuanshan grew more and more annoyed, and the accumulated dissatisfaction from daily life started to get out of control.

    “You wouldn’t be speaking up for him just because he’s good-looking, would you?”

    “What nonsense are you talking about!” Xu Shuang’s face flushed slightly, and she subconsciously felt angry again. “If you talk rubbish again, get out.”

    Xu Yuanshan thought to himself that eating outside was even more comfortable, “I’ll get out then!”

    Xie Zhihao watched the two siblings argue, completely dumbfounded. After Xu Yuanshan actually left, he felt even more awkward.

    He had intended to say something to lighten the mood, but upon seeing Xu Shuang’s gentle profile,

    He also recalled Xu Yuanshan’s words and the more he thought about it, the more he felt there was some truth to it. Girls sometimes only look at faces, so maybe it really was…

    Thinking of this, Xie Zhihao couldn’t help but say,

    “That Jiang Nian’s character isn’t very good. I saw him chatting and laughing with several girls, and also with Li Qingrong…”

    After he finished speaking, he originally expected to get Xu Shuang’s approval.

    But to his surprise, Xu Shuang just looked at him coldly. Her expression was like frost, and a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes.

    “Then does he also gossip about others behind their backs?”

    Xie Zhihao’s expression was awkward, and he scratched his head.

    “This…”

    Outside the cafeteria.

    After dinner, Jiang Nian swaggered towards the third-year building with a bottle of Sprite. He saw a slouching person carrying a meal coming out of the cafeteria.

    “Damn it, you’re living quite comfortably, even having a picnic.”

    After going upstairs.

    There were still only a few people in the classroom, but he noticed that within a few minutes, someone came to him with a biology question.

    “Jiang Nian, can you do this problem?”

    He paused for a moment, scanned the question, and then hesitated.

    “I think so.”

    After a rapid explanation, the person left with the test paper, remarking,

    “You’re really amazing, truly the best in biology.”

    Jiang Nian felt awkward hearing this. He thought this sudden praise was a bit excessive, but it did sound quite pleasant.

    Biology first place, a bit satisfying.

    Those who praise me in the marketplace, each shall receive a slap.

    However, a few minutes later, he found someone coming to him with a math problem. Jiang Nian couldn’t quite understand why, so he looked in the mirror.

    “Why are you looking in the mirror?” the girl asked.

    “Nothing, I just feel a little bit handsomer recently.” Jiang Nian said, his face not red and his heart not pounding, putting down the mirror. “Come, write the solution first!”

    “You really are a little bit handsomer.” The girl said softly, blushing, and then added, “I’m talking about your demeanor.”

    Jiang Nian suddenly realized, thinking, ‘Damn it’.

    So, getting over six hundred points gives you ‘demeanor,’ huh?

    You bastard! When you’re fantasizing wildly about dating, you wouldn’t even dare to imagine a low-scoring scrub; you purely like high-scoring people, what kind of sapiosexuality is this?

    Jiang Nian paused, then couldn’t help but look up and ask,

    “What about Li Hua?”

    The girl was instantly stumped, pondering for a moment.

    “He has no demeanor.”

    Jiang Nian’s face was almost split with laughter. While grinning, he helped the girl with the problem. After five minutes of explanation, he calculated the answer to be one-half.

    “Easy!” He tossed the pen onto the desk.

    The girl looked at the answer, completely bewildered.

    “But the answer is square root of 2.”

    After Jiang Nian awkwardly sent the girl away, Chen Yunyun walked in just as the lunch break bell rang.

    As soon as she sat down in Wu Jun Gu’s seat, she suddenly said,

    “Helping people with questions, huh?”

    “Hm?” Jiang Nian looked up, on guard. “Don’t talk nonsense; I just happened to pass by and was asked a question.”

    “Oh, she asks, and you explain?” Chen Yunyun’s attack power greatly increased.

    “We’re all classmates, so if they ask, I explain.” Jiang Nian responded easily. “Do you have anything you don’t understand? I can explain it to you.”

    Chen Yunyun was ultimately timid and didn’t feel comfortable asking further, so she just said,

    “My score is higher than yours.”

    Jiang Nian’s smile instantly vanished, and his gaze suddenly lingered on her long, fair neck, where a faint blush appeared.

    It was the color of a peach jelly, making him hungry.

    Slurp, slurp.

    I’m not pretending anymore; actually, I’m a blood kin.

    After being on Earth for so long, I suddenly feel like drinking blood.

    I forgot yesterday was Minor Cold. I finished writing a chapter at 4 AM, took a shower, and caught a cold.

    All missed parts will be made up. Today, I’m not in good shape due to illness, the second chapter isn’t finished. I’ll get up at 6 AM, finish writing, and then post it.

    Please give me some monthly votes.
