Chapter 386 The Class Monitor is So Cute

Evening self-study ended.

Jiang Nian, carrying his bag, greeted Zhang Ningzhi, ready to go home, then glanced at Li Qingrong who was still packing up.

“I’m leaving, okay?”

Li Qingrong paused, looked up at him, pushed back a stray strand of hair, and gave a very solemn “Mm.”

After thinking for a moment, she lightly waved her hand.

Zhang Ningzhi happened to see it and thought, “Oh my god, the Class Monitor is so cute. I’m not a green channel, but I still want to pinch her cheeks.”

Is the usually aloof Class Monitor this adorable when making small gestures?

In a flash, Jiang Nian left.

The suicide note, which somewhat hinted at exploiting colleagues, was in his backpack. He planned to take it home and study it carefully.

Small workshops really go all out with their materials.

Stupid System, does the Class Monitor know she’s going to commit suicide?

The corridor was packed, and Jiang Nian followed the crowd down to the third floor. He ran into Xu Qianqian, and they walked down together.

“Did you get the meal card?”

“That’s part of the betrothal gift.”

Bang!

“Hiss~!” Jiang Nian took a heavy blow and couldn’t help but gasp. “No, what’s your hurry?”

“I’m not in a hurry,” Xu Qianqian said innocently. Seeing that he didn’t speak, she glanced at him again. “Does it hurt that much?”

“What do you think?”

“Oh.” Xu Qianqian casually touched his waist as if harassing him. “There, it won’t hurt now that I’ve touched it.”

Taking advantage of the dark after school, where are you touching?

I’m kind of missing Bocchi-chan.

But we just left the school gate. We should at least find a dark, secluded corner, or just go back to Xu Qianqian’s house.

So, what should the second child with Xu Qianqian be named?

The first one was already decided.

“Hehehe.”

Jiang Nian started fantasizing wildly again, his lips curving upwards from time to time, and a rather lewd smile appearing on his face.

Xu Qianqian couldn’t stand this perverted demon and actively distanced herself from Teacher Jiang.

“What kind of dirty thoughts are you having?”

“Thinking about Song Xiyun. What were you two doing today?” Jiang Nian changed the subject. “Why did you come looking for me?”

“Nothing,” Xu Qianqian pouted.

“I still have a two-hundred-yuan card, all given by the school.” Jiang Nian handed it to Xu Qianqian. “Want it?”

Hearing this, Xu Qianqian sighed.

“Forget it.”

“You really don’t want it? Then I’ll give it to Song Xiyun.” Jiang Nian probably knew why she didn’t want it; she felt bad using it alone.

“Go ahead and give it to her,” Xu Qianqian didn’t care.

For the second time, Jiang Nian tucked the meal card into Xu Qianqian’s hoodie hood.

“Only for you.”

“Oh, what are you doing?” Xu Qianqian complained slightly, pulling at her hood, but she didn’t give Jiang Nian the ‘Emperor’s Fist’ in return.

At the same time, to hide her embarrassment, she skillfully picked up a wisp of hair by her ear with her fingers and tucked it behind her ear.

Seeing this, Jiang Nian began to fumble in his pants pocket, finding a rectangular card.

Playing dirty, must play dirty.

Back home, after washing up.

Jiang Nian didn’t play a two-player game with Xu Qianqian. Instead, he sat at his desk as usual, turned on his small lamp.

Studying some chemistry… No, studying the suicide note.

During evening self-study, time was tight, and he didn’t have a chance to read it carefully. Now he took out the letter again and read it word by word.

His gaze naturally settled on the last sentence: “On October 5th, I returned to Zhennan and witnessed someone’s engagement.” So, who is the “he” mentioned in the letter?

October 5th didn’t specify the year, but people in Zhennan do like to get engaged during the National Day holiday and marry at the end of the year.

Jiang Nian had a baseless association: perhaps this “he” was himself?

Hmm… not sure, let’s look again.

In the System’s future timeline, his thirty-year-old self was newly married. He and his ex-wife, met through a blind date, were respectful to each other.

One couldn’t say there was no affection, only that they were completely unfamiliar with each other.

That’s too absurd!

Quite the opposite.

Anyone with an IP address in Zhennan, and who is a little down-to-earth, would surely be able to come up with many true stories.

Zhennan is a place with some interesting customs.

The county town’s atmosphere is a bit more relaxed, but in Zhennan’s townships, marriage is almost glorified, and not getting married is considered shameful.

There’s often cold sneering and disdain.

“Your son’s girlfriend, how many years have they been together? Hurry up and settle down, or if she runs off… tsk tsk.”

“That one of yours, why isn’t he married yet at thirty?”

One can only say there’s a reason for all the betrothal gift jokes.

He searched the System again, although he couldn’t find evidence that Li Qingrong knew him in the future timeline.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have awkwardly toasted at the wedding, hid in the stairwell watching the news, and silently smoked.

If someone said that Jiang Gou was simply craving a cigarette.

Then one could only say they were too familiar with life.

However, whether they had met or dated at some point, Jiang Nian wasn’t clear yet, so he could only put the letter aside.

After pondering for a long time, he simply sent a message to the Class Monitor.

“(Smile)”

On the other side, Li Qingrong instantly replied with a question mark.

?

He didn’t know why, but the Class Monitor’s reply with a question mark was quite amusing.

“What’s up?” Jiang Nian asked.

Li Qingrong: “…Yin and Yang.”

Seeing this, Jiang Nian stared at the screen, stunned.

Oh no, humanity’s core technology… has been deciphered. The Class Monitor actually knew that the smiling emoji meant Yin and Yang.

“Who told you that?” Jiang Nian asked, puzzled.

Li Qingrong: “Nie Qiqi.”

Jiang Nian said “Oh,” almost forgetting about the cowardly smiling tiger. This person was also a bit crazy, but only towards girls.

A big woman only deals with women, that’s also a (thumbs up).

But no matter how you look at it, Nie Qiqi was the one being pressed down. Someone like her going through the green channel is just asking for trouble.

But then again, only green leafy vegetables can go through the green channel.

The logic loop is closed, discharged from the hospital!

“Nie Qiqi has ulterior motives; she’s trying to sow discord between us.” Jiang Nian began to whisper sweet nothings, even though he wasn’t by her pillow.

With a buzz, Li Qingrong replied.

“Delete her?”

“Ha… No need for that.” Jiang Nian broke out in a cold sweat. The Class Monitor was too easily swayed, a bit too welcoming.

Li Qingrong: “Oh.”

Jiang Nian started to wonder, the Class Monitor is so easy to fool. And his future self had so many bad romantic encounters. Could it be that he really dated the Class Monitor?

Because it happened too early, it wasn’t recorded in the System?

Hmm, they couldn’t have really dated, could they?

Although he didn’t know what the Class Monitor’s family did, all signs indicated it wasn’t an ordinary family.

Would such a family accept an ordinary person?

Class is often very difficult to cross.

“What are you doing?” Jiang Nian asked casually, deciding to put this matter aside for now.

Li Qingrong: “(Picture).”

Jiang Nian clicked it open and glanced at it, his finger instinctively screenshotting it.

How strange, the photo looks like a bathroom.

Not sure, let me check again.

He clicked it open and admired it repeatedly, enlarging the picture with both hands to show his innocence.

“Taking a bath?”

Jiang Nian went from a thoughtful emoji to a sudden realization: the Class Monitor was trying to fish for him, but unfortunately, he was a gentleman who didn’t flirt with women.

“Then you go ahead and wash up.”

A high EQ response, warming her day.

Li Qingrong: “Mm.”

After receiving this reply, Jiang Nian also began to calmly work on his test papers. No matter what, the advantage was currently with him.

If he really got together with the Class Monitor, he definitely wouldn’t sit by and watch the “suicide note” tragedy repeat itself.

Even if it did, it would probably be him getting stabbed six times.

【Nian, can you check if the water is boiling in the kitchen?】

If he really got taken out by some yandere girl with three knives, he shouldn’t be too sad. First, see if he can revive by watching an ad.

Swish, swish, ten minutes later.

Li Qingrong’s video call request popped up directly. Jiang Nian was soft-hearted and couldn’t bear to see someone “request.”

With a beep, the video connected.

The anticipated scene didn’t happen; instead, it was an empty shot of the ceiling.

After a while.

Li Qingrong, having just showered, her face pink from the hot water, her features delicate, looked curiously at the camera.

Jiang Nian, however, deliberately turned on the rear camera.

The Class Monitor’s view was… under the desk lamp, a pair of hands resting on the desk, writing a test paper, looking very “third-year high school.”

However, the next second.

“Choose B.”

“Huh?” Jiang Nian’s gaze shifted downwards. There were only questions 10-12 on the test paper, and he had just finished the 11th multiple-choice question.

“That’s not right, question 10 must be C, and question 11 should be A, right?”

Li Qingrong: “I was talking about question 12.”

He hadn’t written down the 12th multiple-choice question yet. The Class Monitor had only glanced at it for four or five seconds and chosen the answer.

This was how Jiang Nian, the top student, felt when the Class Monitor suddenly attacked him head-on, a feeling of being severely bullied.

No, I’m a male chauvinist!

The Class Monitor was also a bit inconsiderate. Wasn’t she afraid he’d break down? He just stayed still. If there were no benefits, he’d delete her as a friend.

“Alright, I believe you.”

They chatted for a few sentences, then gradually ran out of things to say. Mainly because the Class Monitor didn’t like to talk and was used to falling asleep with the video call on.

Jiang Nian finished his chemistry test paper; it was already midnight.

He looked up and saw the Class Monitor tucking in her quilt.

The light in Li Qingrong’s room was still on, and she didn’t seem to have any intention of turning it off. She wrapped herself in the quilt.

Her phone was probably fixed in place, facing her. From such an unusual angle, the Class Monitor’s beauty was still striking.

Her cool, aloof face even looked a little cute.

“Are you sleepy?” Jiang Nian asked curiously.

“No,” Li Qingrong’s eyelids drooped, and her voice was weak. “Can the video call… wait until I fall asleep before you hang up?”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian immediately perked up.

Not because of Xingyu.

Although the Class Monitor’s voice in this sleepy state was a tiny bit like an older sister, it wasn’t enough to summon the Sword of the Brave.

Too much, too much.

No, I love it, I love it.

Let alone hanging up after you fall asleep, you can even let me take a million yuan while you’re asleep.

“Okay, but video calls will automatically hang up if no one talks for too long,” Jiang Nian first issued a disclaimer.

“Mm,” Li Qingrong replied.

After falling asleep, her face was expressionless. Her eyes had slowly closed, turning her into an ice queen sleeping beauty.

Jiang Nian, a man with four kidneys, decided to continue writing test papers. After writing a few questions, he subconsciously glanced at the screen.

Oh… Chen Yunyun’s message.

Before seeing it, he was already thinking.

Chen Yunyun: “Are you asleep?”

Jiang Nian: “Who?”

Chen Yunyun:

Why are you like a pervert?

“(Confused) Huh?” Jiang Nian slowly typed, explaining, “I thought you were asking if my girlfriend was asleep.”

“Who’s your girlfriend?” Chen Yunyun sent several question marks.

“I don’t have a girlfriend, that’s why I asked ‘who?'” Jiang Nian replied. “Yunyun, you’re a bit dirty.”

Chen Yunyun:

Jiang Nian’s set of skills directly silenced Chen Yunyun. She typed for a long time before sending a message.

“Do you need me to bring you water tomorrow afternoon?”

Afternoon?

Oh… tomorrow is Sunday afternoon, a holiday, and he needs to go to the sports field with his team members for grueling practice.

In Chinese schools, you can’t even see a ghost on weekend holidays.

Let alone playing football, with boys providing live commentary and awkward reviews, and girls watching, cheering, and fainting.

Bringing water could indeed allow him to show off in front of a few teammates.

“Aren’t you going out to play tomorrow on your day off?” Before sending the message, Jiang Nian carefully glanced at the video call screen.

The Class Monitor was sound asleep, quite safe.

Typing wouldn’t make any sound. Someone might ask, “Bro, why are you so skilled at clandestine affairs?”

Laughing to death, a famous teacher produces outstanding students.

Qingbao taught me.

If you have time, why not ask Green Hat Yu if he’s asleep now? You are the leaves in the sun, and I am the roots in the dark. You are green, I am black.

With a ding, Chen Yunyun replied.

“(Embarrassed) I don’t really leave school on holidays anyway. Since I’ll just be idle in the dorm, I might as well watch you guys play football.”

Yunyun, you’re a bit of a ‘tea’ person.

Jiang Nian replied, “Alright, then come.”

“(Sticking out tongue) Okay.” Chen Yunyun sent several cute emojis.

“(Embarrassed) What do you want to drink?”

“Anything,” Jiang Nian said decisively.

“Then do you like grapes?” Chen Yunyun asked. “I can bring a small box of fruit, exclusive.”

“No, thanks, I’m afraid I’ll get beaten to death.”

Jiang Nian chatted with Chen Yunyun for a few more sentences, ending the conversation after they both said they were going to sleep. Of course, he wasn’t really going to sleep.

Two in the morning.

He finished a chemistry test paper, and as Qingbao had instructed, he circled several key knowledge points and questions in red pen.

After carefully doing them a few times, he finally put down his pen.

The phone screen showed the video call was still ongoing, and the Class Monitor was still sound asleep. She seemed to have turned over in the middle, her quilt gently rising and falling.

He had some free time and wasn’t in a hurry to go to bed. Instead, he lay on the desk, quietly observing the Class Monitor’s sleeping face.

Her face was very fair, and her hands were outside the quilt at some point. One could say, this was truly being asleep.

Someone who sleeps quietly and beautifully like a flower is probably pretending to sleep.

Such a beautiful person shouldn’t be harmed.

Jiang Nian picked up the suicide note on the desk, gently stroked it with his fingertips, pondering the contents of the letter, his pupils gradually unfocused.

If that “he” was himself.

Then the Class Monitor would most likely reveal some information in the suicide note. And this information would most likely be what he needed.

Hmm… most likely they didn’t date. Logically speaking, a pure person like the Class Monitor, even at thirty, her personality wouldn’t change much.

If they had dated, she wouldn’t have put “him” at the end of the will.

Although the Class Monitor was quiet, Jiang Nian felt that she didn’t want to die. Clearly, no one truly wants to end their own life.

What they want to end is only the pain.

Thinking of this, Jiang Nian put the suicide note into the drawer. Then he silently locked it, took a deep breath, turned off the light, and went to bed.

Just before falling asleep, he vaguely heard a sound from the other end of the phone.

Li Qingrong seemed to have woken up midway and said something.
