Chapter 383 Praising Cai Mama

It was the last self-study period of the afternoon.

Yu Zhiyi looked up, and after a moment of confusion, her gaze instinctively locked onto Jiang Nian.

“What are those people going to do?”

“Play soccer,” Yang Qiming turned and replied.

“That bold?” Yu Zhiyi’s eyes widened, and she unconsciously straightened her back, her ample bosom rising from the desk.

From a relaxed state, they became tear-shaped.

Clearly, compared to the actions of Jiang Nian and the others, her figure was more daring.

“Indeed, Jiang Nian is…” Yang Qiming frowned, “I always feel like his backing is very strong, but there’s no proof.”

“Very strong?” Yu Zhiyi was a little distracted, thinking of the man who used a book as a bulletproof vest.

“Hmm, indeed.”

Indeed?

This person was also incredibly arrogant, daring to say whatever he pleased.

Yu Zhiyi also had a cheerful disposition; just her presence would make others quite comfortable, even if they had lost money that morning, their mood would improve.

Yang Qiming couldn’t help but glance at her a few more times, and his affection for Lu Xuan began to waver, becoming a little disloyal.

In terms of beauty alone, Lu Xuan surpassed Yu Zhiyi.

But when it came to dating, there was no doubt. A girl like Yu Zhiyi would be the first choice for most boys.

Of course, there was also a price to pay.

He pondered for a moment and thought of a relatively clever way to add her on QQ.

“By the way, did you delete my QQ?”

“Huh?” Yu Zhiyi looked at Yang Qiming, a puzzled expression on her face, “No, didn’t you delete all the girls on your list?”

Indeed, he never added married women.

Yu Zhiyi was previously talking to Wu Jungu, and they were considered one of the semi-public couples in the class, and he wasn’t a philanderer.

But the past was the past, and now was now.

After things didn’t work out with his ex-girlfriend, he gradually re-added some people.

Yang Qiming also had a moment of enlightenment; he didn’t care about these things before a relationship, as long as there wasn’t *that*.

“Haha, then I must have remembered wrong. My apologies. Since that’s the case, how about I add your QQ when I get back to the dorm?”

Hearing this, Yu Zhiyi froze, then gave an awkward laugh.

“Not so good.”

“Ah?” Yang Qiming’s heart broke, his face twitching slightly, “Why? Didn’t you add a lot of people?”

“No, it’s just that if there’s no particular reason, I don’t add people,” Yu Zhiyi retorted, “I don’t have many people on my QQ list.”

“The seemingly experienced, big-chested, glasses-wearing female classmate is actually a rather conservative, old-fashioned girl.”

A new series, serialized online.

Yang Qiming was speechless, but still somewhat unwilling, and asked in return.

“Is Jiang Nian there then?”

Yu Zhiyi opened her mouth, but couldn’t say a word.

“He is… but it’s because we’re all biology accelerated students. We’re all being tutored by Treasure Trove, so there are always things.”

The nickname “Treasure Trove” had been completely adopted by Yu Zhiyi.

After all, she was the biology class representative.

Yang Qiming was completely disheartened, and his romantic thoughts turned into bubbles. He could only turn away, lowering his head in thought.

As dusk approached, grade leader Ji Ming patrolled from the academic affairs office. After a brief thought, he arrived at his most loyal fourth floor.

The students on the Olympiad floor were highly self-disciplined, and their conduct was acceptable.

On the third floor, the only child, Class Four, was relatively noisy.

Ji Ming patrolled two classes in a row and found nothing… Hmm? Why were so many people missing from Olympiad Class Three?

Usually, in such situations, he would say with a stern face.

“Where’s the class monitor?”

But Class Three was special, so Ji Ming did not directly address the’Son of Heaven’. Instead, he paused for a second and rephrased his words.

“Where’s the discipline committee member?”

Hearing this, Cai Xiaoqing stood up with a complex expression, ready to take the blame.

Honestly, Jiang Nian was truly shameless. He actually said, “If you get scolded, just cry, and Ji Ming won’t be able to say anything.”

“Where are these people in your class?” Ji Ming pointed to several empty seats.

“They… went to the restroom,” Cai Xiaoqing said, gritting her teeth, “I’ll go call them back right now.”

“Restroom?” Ji Ming clasped his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the empty seats in the class, “What a coincidence? A whole soccer team went?”

Cai Xiaoqing was speechless.

On the soccer field, with a ‘buzz’.

Jiang Nian kicked the ball away and took out his phone from his pocket. He glanced down and saw it was Cai Xiaoqing.

“Ji Ming is here. I told him you all went to the restroom.”

He thought, “Xiaoqing is really good,” and typed a reply.

“Okay. (Smile)”

With a ‘buzz’, Cai Xiaoqing replied instantly.

“Why are you being sarcastic?”

“You’re a bit sensitive. That just means’smile’,” Jiang Nian said, exasperated, “Playing on your phone during self-study, I’m reporting you.”

Cai Xiaoqing: “(Smile)”

Jiang Nian was suddenly a bit flustered and typed a reply.

“No, why are you being sarcastic?”

An infinite loop.

Cai Xiaoqing was speechless.

On the soccer field, Li Hua saw Jiang Nian stop and couldn’t help but ask curiously.

“What’s wrong?”

“Bad news,” Jiang Nian held up his phone and said casually, “Ji Ming went to the class and found we weren’t there.”

Hearing this, a few’Southern Town rats’ immediately stopped.

They all looked at Jiang Nian, their breathing slightly hurried. After all, they were all Olympiad class students, not rebellious.

At their most arrogant, they would only talk about skipping class.

Now, they not only skipped class but were also caught by the grade leader. Without a doubt, Old Liu would be furious.

So, who could bear this wrath?

To be honest, they had been a little impulsive just now. Was it still too late to beg?

“Holy crap, we’re done for!”

Before the few’Southern Town rats’ could say anything more disheartening, Jiang Nian made a’stop’ gesture and spoke again.

“But, Prime Minister Cai sent a red envelope and invited us to dinner.”

“Holy crap!” Li Hua, like an idiot, his eyes suddenly rounded, “Prime Minister Cai sent a red envelope, really or fake?”

“If I’m lying, I’m a dog,” Jiang Nian said without batting an eye.

Dogs are good, humans are bad.

My buddy is a Class A protected animal on Xiaohongshu.

“Also, Prime Minister Cai didn’t sell us out. Ji Ming asked where we went, and Prime Minister Cai said we went to the restroom. Let’s get our stories straight, don’t expose it.”

Within that minute, the team’s mood was like a roller coaster, rising and falling, finally soaring into the sky.

“Prime Minister Cai is such a Treasure Trove! This is too good!”

“I’m so damn touched. Prime Minister Cai doesn’t even care. Suddenly, being caught by Ji Ming doesn’t seem like a big deal.”

“She can be our mom, Mama Cai.”

“You’re the one with bad teeth, wanting something soft, huh? Useless thing, take a punch from your dad.”

“Mama Cai, we respect you!”

“Drag the magnetic old man out too, take a punch from your dad.”

That’s how boys are; once a certain buff is applied, skipping class to play soccer becomes a highly exhilarating feat.

Their attitude towards the Acquired match also slowly changed.

Win the award, must win the award.

Even if they kick the opposing team’s main player flying, they must win the award! Not winning the award would be a complete disservice to Prime Minister Cai’s efforts.

Jiang Nian stood in the center of the field, watching the ‘children’ get fired up, a satisfied smile on his face.

Winning the soccer championship would earn them a trophy and prize money. Zhang Ningzhi’s starry eyes, and Old Liu’s favoritism.

And in a county high school like Zhennan, where soccer isn’t very popular, soccer matches are basically a free-for-all; it’s all about morale.

At such times, the importance of the ‘political commissar’ became apparent.

After training, Jiang Nian took the group to the small cafeteria for a meal. He told them to get their food and stood there, closing his eyes to swipe his card.

The card Old Liu gave him didn’t hurt to swipe.

But then again, if they won the soccer championship, it would also be quite beneficial for Old Liu.

Class Three’s academic performance was first among the Olympiad classes, and their sports performance was first in the grade. A truly excellent class, Old Liu taught well.

This was also using Old Liu’s money to do Old Liu’s business.

The group was truly hungry, even if the food in the small cafeteria was mediocre. With a bottle of drink, they devoured their food.

“Praise Prime Minister Cai!”

During evening self-study, the classroom was brightly lit.

Cai Xiaoqing was focused, sitting at her desk doing problems.

Suddenly, she heard a commotion and turned her head. It was the people who had been playing soccer returning, and they were all smiling at her.

“Hmm?”

Cai Xiaoqing was puzzled, thinking, ‘Could Jiang Nian have been badmouthing me? I helped him cover up, but he…’

However, Liu Yang, who was leading the group, said to Cai Xiaoqing.

“Thanks, Prime Minister Cai.”

“Huh?” She was a bit confused, but quickly realized it must be because of the afternoon. “Oh, oh, no problem.”

Li Hua grinned and said to her.

“The food was quite good, thank you, Mama Cai.”

“Stop being crazy, get out of here,” Liu Yang immediately pushed him away, dragging him off.

Then, several other people expressed their gratitude to Cai Xiaoqing and said some strange things, like “we will win.”

She was completely bewildered, not knowing what had happened.

Until the last person walked past, Jiang Nian said nothing. He just smiled at her, then left directly.

Cai Xiaoqing frowned slightly and took out her phone to send Jiang Nian a message.

“What did you do? It’s on me.”

A few seconds later, Jiang Nian replied.

“I just treated them to a meal in your name. Don’t tell anyone, it’s good for everyone anyway.”

Seeing this, Cai Xiaoqing put down her phone.

It was indeed beneficial; these people were the troublemakers in the class. Apart from the soccer match, at least they would owe her a favor in the future.

If she really had to manage them, they wouldn’t be insubordinate in the short term.

But, what was Jiang Nian after?

First period of evening self-study.

Zhang Ningzhi looked up and sniffed the air.

“Team leader, your sweat smells so strong.”

Jiang Nian said,

“He’s clearly closer to you!”

Zhang Ningzhi blinked her eyes, her face turning slightly red.

“But… he doesn’t smell.”

“Is that so?” Li Hua leaned in and sniffed Jiang Nian, then immediately gagged, “Such a strong sweat smell, you can’t smell it?”

“I can’t,” Zhang Ningzhi shook her head.

Jiang Nian did have a sweat smell, but a small amount of sweat was masked by the scent of laundry detergent on his clothes.

Unless it was an epic deep inhale, it would be hard to gag.

In fact, she found it quite pleasant.

“red stone, are you being so biased?” Li Hua held his head, a bit flustered, “Jiang Nian, why aren’t you saying anything?”

“Huh?” Jiang Nian looked bewildered, “What did she say?”

“You damn!”

Tap, tap, Treasure Trove walked into the classroom.

After putting down her books, she scanned the students below and stopped at Jiang Nian.

“Jiang Nian… come here for a moment.”
