Chapter 373 Sports Field Bending

“Everyone is going?” Jiang Nian was slightly surprised.

“It’s our class’s turn.” Li Hua was excited, “It seems there’s another Olympiad class too, I forgot which one.”

“Which class?”

“Four… Class Four, I think.”

Hearing this, Jiang Nian’s eyelids twitched.

“Then I’m not going, I haven’t finished my homework yet.”

He simply felt that such speeches were superficial and couldn’t delve into the Origin of student anxiety. Attending the lecture was a complete waste of time.

If you really want to de-stress, why not play some games.

“What the f*ck, no, you’re really not going?” Li Hua was a bit dumbfounded, turning to look at the classmates filing out.

“Go to hell!” Jiang Nian snapped, pulling out his chemistry paper. “Your dad needs to study, not join the crowd.”

“Writing homework every day, what’s there to write?” Li Hua didn’t understand.

“616-608 = 8.” Jiang Nian looked calm, turning to Li Hua and saying, “Your dad’s extra 8 points will always make him your dad.”

“red stone, red stone!!” Li Hua instantly turned red.

In that instant, he thought of King Goujian of Yue. But then he remembered the real Goujian in history, so he activated his immortal male skill.

Enduring hardship does not equal endorsing Goujian.

Formulaic problem-solving is just fast!

“I’ll score 80 points higher than you on the next exam!” Li Hua declared spiritedly, swearing fiercely, “The Humiliation of Jingkang, still unavenged!”

Jiang Nian heard this Heaven-Defying nonsense and couldn’t keep a straight face.

“Ha, you’re panicking.”

If I score 650, where are you going to get 730?

Honestly, old Li Hua does have some sense of humor.

Heath Ledger, to play the Joker well, specifically flew to Zhennan. He observed Li Hua for a month before creating that cinematic classic.

“Hey, Jiang Nian, aren’t you going?” Yao Beibei came to find Zhang Ningzhi to leave together and casually asked, not paying too much attention.

Jiang Nian wasn’t the only one in the class not attending the lecture; there were at least five or six others.

“No.” Jiang Nian nodded, and seeing Zhang Ningzhi about to leave, he grabbed her. “Why are you going too?”

“What’s wrong?” Zhang Ningzhi looked confused.

She was the typical go-with-the-flow type. When she heard there was a lecture, she didn’t dare to skip. As long as Yao Beibei went, she would go.

Seeing Jiang Nian openly grab her in the classroom, her face couldn’t help but flush.

What if he asked her to stay?

How should she choose?

“You’re going too?” Jiang Nian asked.

“Yes.” Zhang Ningzhi hesitated, thinking how difficult the choice was. She had already promised Beibei, so it would be hard to stay.

“Ah? Then no one will peel oranges for me.” Jiang Nian looked bewildered.

Sun Zhicheng and Lin Dong were passing through the aisle, originally in a good mood. Hearing Jiang Nian say that, they immediately stopped smiling.

He couldn’t help but glance at a certain person, his fists clenching.

This guy is really putting on an act!

His gender must be a plastic bag, he’s so good at acting.

Hearing this, the expression on Zhang Ningzhi’s face instantly vanished. She gritted her teeth and started throwing wild punches at Jiang Nian.

“Who’s going to peel them for you! Go to hell, go to hell!”

Jiang Nian chuckled. Zhang Ningzhi’s strength wasn’t great. He didn’t bother to dodge and stuffed the last orange from his pocket into her clothes pocket.

“Then you go.”

Zhang Ningzhi left huffily, not wanting to stay with this heartless person. Before leaving, she specifically glanced at Chen Yunyun.

Seeing that she and Wang Yuhe were also going to the lecture, she then shifted her gaze.

Yao Beibei held out her hand, palm up.

“Any more?”

Jiang Nian subconsciously wanted to spit into her palm, but seeing Yao Beibei quickly retract her hand, he felt a bit regretful.

“No more. I’ll buy you a basket tomorrow.”

“Then call Li Hua, let him help you carry it.” Yao Beibei also joked along, truly speaking seriously to ghosts.

Nine out of ten people in the classroom had left, leaving only five or six who had asked for leave and didn’t go.

Jiang Nian didn’t go, and Li Qingrong was too lazy to go either.

Neither of them asked for leave, but Cai Xiaoqing still automatically excused them. The head teacher wouldn’t say much about it; one was a prospect for Tsinghua and Peking University, and the other was an inspiring star.

If Jiang Nian could score 650 in the provincial joint exam, then Old Liu would also treat him like a treasure. Not aiming for Tsinghua and Peking University, just getting into a C9 university would be enough.

In the empty Class Three classroom, the bright lights were like snow.

Jiang Nian seriously opened a test paper, and facing the mental network of knowledge points, he did problems while thinking.

While doing problems, he built a knowledge network with the questions.

However, he was not a true top student after all. A baseline of 600 points would never reach the throne of 650 points.

So when he was actually writing, he would still get stuck on difficult problems.

Sometimes, the difference between 600 and 650 points wasn’t that big. But 680 or 690 was a completely different concept.

Li Qingrong, above him, suppressed him completely.

No, it should be stomped on.

He couldn’t even reach the class monitor’s skirt, at most he could lick her soles. It sounded quite humiliating, but it would probably feel great to lick.

Time flew by, and when he looked up again, it was already the second evening self-study session.

The classmates who went to the lecture hadn’t returned yet, so naturally, no one was maintaining discipline. Among the few who remained, two were chatting.

It was quite nice to listen to as white noise while doing problems.

Li Qingrong wasn’t in the mood to do problems. She rested her head on her hand and zoned out for a while. Her mind wasn’t thinking about anything; she just let time pass idly.

It wasn’t until a test paper appeared in her sight that her eyes focused.

“Why are you spacing out?” Jiang Nian asked, confused, then pointed to a difficult chemistry problem. “I can’t solve it, can you help me look at it?”

Li Qingrong didn’t answer why she was spacing out; she couldn’t explain it herself. She had no worries, wasn’t thinking about anything at all.

The class monitor lowered her gaze, and that cool indifference deepened. When she looked up and seriously looked at someone, it carried a hint of keeping people at a distance.

Jiang Nian felt nothing, he didn’t even look at her eyes. What decent person looks at eyes? He had already been staring elsewhere. “Qingqing, your wrist is so beautiful.”

Li Qingrong’s gaze paused, then she reread the problem from beginning to end.

“Hmm.”

A few minutes later, Li Qingrong finished explaining the problem to him.

“Did you understand?”

Jiang Nian looked at it carefully, nodded, and said thank you. Then he turned back and continued to seriously work on his problems. After a while, Jiang Nian turned back again and asked.

“Want to go for a walk on the playground?”

Hearing this, Li Qingrong looked up at him, slightly surprised.

“Not doing problems?”

“Taking a break, I didn’t even go out during the last break.” He glanced at his phone. “Let’s go for ten minutes.”

Li Qingrong pursed her lips, then shifted her gaze.

“Hmm.”

The two then got up and left the classroom, one after the other.

There weren’t many people in the classroom, so their departure didn’t attract attention. After all, no one was supervising, everyone was doing their own thing.

Down to the third floor.

Jiang Nian glanced at 304; the people from Olympiad Class Four had indeed all left.

The sports field closed at eight, and the plastic track was a bit damp. But there were no puddles of water, nor large patches of standing water.

Under the moonlight, a thud came from the football field.

He turned his head at the sound and saw a few people kicking a ball, using the streetlights from the teachers’ apartment complex bordering the sports field.

Jiang Nian was a bit dumbfounded on the spot and looked at the football field again.

The field had puddles, so dedicated?

Skipping class to practice football?

Two exclamations of “What the f*ck!” were heard, and with a crack, the football went awry, vaguely flying towards the two of them.

In the darkness, the trajectory was unclear.

Jiang Nian subconsciously retreated a few steps, relying on muscle memory to stop the flying football, and then kicked it back with a powerful instep shot.

Football, as a sport, is actually considered a somewhat noble competitive sport.

First, you need a decent field, then a goal. You also need enough people; five or six people playing isn’t very fun.

Not many people in the school liked playing football; most boys went to play basketball. Mainly because there were more courts and it was easier to form teams.

These few, however, seemed odd, skipping self-study to practice football.

“What grade are you guys?” Jiang Nian asked from a distance.

“Third year, Class 304.”

“Huh?” Jiang Nian heard that the other party was from Olympiad Class Four, his first reaction was disbelief, his second reaction was that it was reasonable. He had used Class Four as a scapegoat so many times that for a moment he couldn’t believe anyone from Class Four would dare to skip class.

I’ve deducted so many points from you guys, and you still dare to cause trouble?

But then he thought, Class Four’s new head teacher was going through menopause. The people in Class Four had so many fleas they didn’t itch anymore, they didn’t care.

“Which class are you from?” the other party asked, not coming closer, their figures hidden in the darkness, only vaguely visible as human shapes.

“Oh, Olympiad Class One.” Jiang Nian habitually shifted the blame.

Li Qingrong, beside him, glanced at him, then subtly shifted her gaze away until the two rounded the bend to the end of the track.

She suddenly spoke, asking, “You’re from Class One?”

“Yeah, I guess so. I’ve wanted to switch classes for a long time.” Jiang Nian spoke carelessly, “I heard there are a lot of girls in Class One. Yuan Zhengchuan transferred there and he’s so happy he forgot about home.”

“He was previously hot and heavy with Ji Ming’s little niece, but last month he found a new girlfriend again and again.”

“Last time I came early, before 6:30. I saw Yuan Zhengchuan and his little girlfriend at the school gate, hugging and kissing.”

“It was even foggy that early morning, it scared me. I thought a Resident Evil dungeon had arrived, with zombies on the main road.”

Li Qingrong gave him a faint glance when he said he wanted to switch classes. Then she listened to his speech, which sounded like a crosstalk performance.

She understood that he was just joking.

But she didn’t know what to say, so she just let him talk. They walked round and round, occasionally she would look up and respond twice.

After about ten minutes of walking, the two went straight upstairs.

It wasn’t until the end of the second evening self-study session that the lecture finally concluded. The classmates returned, some looking exhausted, others exhilarated.

“Damn it, I knew I shouldn’t have gone.” Li Hua returned to his seat, pulled out his water bottle from his desk, and guzzled half of it.

“Indeed, it was completely pointless.” Ma Guojun walked over to Jiang Nian. “Holy crap, you’ve been doing problems for two classes?”

“What’s wrong?” Jiang Nian tossed his hair, stood up, and said, “I’ve finished one and a half test papers, want to go pee?”

“N*ma, so intense!” Ma Guojun adjusted his glasses. “Let’s go, let’s go, call that idiot Li Hua, I’m going too.”

The three walked off, arms around each other’s shoulders.

Zhang Ningzhi curiously glanced at the test paper on Jiang Nian’s desk, flipped through it, and found that all the problems had been completed.

However, there were two different handwriting styles on one chemistry problem.

The bell rang.

The three entered the restroom just as the bell rang. Some people had left, but there weren’t many spots, so the three could only stand next to each other.

Halfway through peeing, Jiang Nian suddenly leaned over and looked at Li Hua.

“Holy crap!! You f*cker!” Li Hua was startled, almost stopping short. “You dog, are you sick?!”

Jiang Nian looked curious, peeing while looking at Li Hua.

“Why aren’t you peeing?”

“Hahaha!!” Ma Guojun burst into laughter, almost shaking it onto his hand. “I know an old Chinese doctor…”

“Get lost, get lost! You guys, you’re all perverts.” Li Hua ran off, not even bothering to buckle his belt, not accepting this kind of 80 points.

Jiang Nian and Ma Guojun, in the restroom, erupted in loud laughter, creating an echo that sent shivers down Li Hua’s spine.

Thus, when the three returned to the classroom…

Ma Guojun and Jiang Nian were both chuckling, only Li Hua wasn’t.

However, after returning to his seat…

Li Hua immediately couldn’t resist, pulling Jiang Nian to discuss football-related topics, and finally added, “Oh, by the way, it’s a shame you didn’t go to the lecture.”

“How so?”

“Lots of girls from the liberal arts classes went too, I saw a really pretty one.” Li Hua gestured wildly, like a clown.

“From the liberal arts class?” Jiang Nian stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and said, “Isn’t that the class upstairs? Which class?”

“Probably the liberal arts Olympiad class, should be Class One.” Li Hua wasn’t sure. “That guy, Lin Dong, even secretly took pictures.”

“I heard Yang Qiming knows that girl, but it doesn’t sound very reliable.”

Jiang Nian just listened casually, not taking it seriously.

“Speaking of which, I do know a girl from a liberal arts class. I think she’s also in Class One, I wonder if she went.”

Hearing this, Zhang Ningzhi, who was doing problems, turned her head and looked at him.

“You know someone from liberal arts too?”

“Well…” Jiang Nian felt something sour. “I met her by chance, haven’t talked much.”

“Is she pretty?” Li Hua came over, sniffing the air.

“How should I put it?” Jiang Nian rubbed his chin, hesitated for a moment, and said, “Zhennan’s number one Pleasant Goat, you figure it out.”

“Oh, I see.” Hearing this, Li Hua immediately lost interest. “Damn it, if she’s already a Pleasant Goat, what kind of good person could she be?”

“Quite the opposite.” Jiang Nian wanted to say more, but he caught Zhang Ningzhi’s eye, and their gazes met, making him stop talking.

After evening self-study ended.

“Zhang Ningzhi, I’m going home, okay?” Jiang Nian patted her head and said, carrying his bag, “You go home early too.”

“Mm-hmm.” Zhang Ningzhi nodded.

She had grown accustomed to Jiang Nian’s various little gestures. At first, she would correct him. Now she was a bit desensitized and just let him be.

“See you tomorrow, okay?” Zhang Ningzhi waved.

So cute.

“Okay, see you tomorrow.” Jiang Nian waved and walked out, joining the crowd in the hallway.

Third floor.

Xu Qianqian saw him emerge from the stairs and also joined the crowd going downstairs. The two walked one after the other, meeting downstairs.

“You didn’t go to the lecture?”

“No, I was busy doing problems.” Jiang Nian yawned. “That trash lecture is a complete waste of time. Did you go?”

“I went.” Xu Qianqian also yawned, swaying as she walked forward. “Why are you so hardworking?”

“To win our bet.” Jiang Nian directly put one arm around her shoulder.

Xu Qianqian was stunned. After her shoulder was embraced, a blast of warm air hit her ear, making her whole body tremble.

“You’re crazy!”

She pushed Jiang Nian, her earlobes red.
