Chapter 401 Qingbao Openly Shows Favoritism

How can one understand so many beautiful girls at the same time?

If girls get angry and create a friendship love triangle, they might get stabbed six times before even speaking.

Makoto?

Even as the knife plunges in, I will still love you… all.

One can only say, it’s very realistic.

Jiang Nian is now completely debt-ridden and carefree; if this trend continues, those who want to stab him could form an reinforced company.

Jiang Nian remained silent, just lowering his head and practicing long-distance running.

After all, for someone without a girlfriend, what’s wrong with having a few more friends?

Friendship, long live!

He is currently in an unselectable state; when it really comes to ‘that’, he wouldn’t dare to be as arrogant as he is now.

No joke, he’d have to keep one eye open, taking turns standing guard even while sleeping.

But then again.

Jiang Nian rested his head on his hand, pondering how to learn more about the class monitor. Not knowing anything wasn’t the act of a good friend.

“What are you thinking about?”

Zhang Ningzhi’s face appeared in his line of sight. Slowly, her cute, Origin Qi-filled face took up most of his view.

Her hair also fell, like a waterfall of dark silk.

Girls are such magical beings; even if the light was obscured, his heart brightened because of this scene.

“Ah, no… not thinking about anything.”

Being a simp is a miserable life; spending money on beautiful girls is accumulating virtue. Meeting someone like Zhang Ningzhi, he would gladly ‘burst gold coins’ for her.

“Oh.” She straightened her sitting posture, and with an inexplicable emotion, she slyly asked, “Why are you spacing out?”

Jiang Nian rested his head on his hand and casually blurted out.

“Your dad doesn’t seem to like me, does he?”

The corridor was bathed in warm winter sun, and outside the window was a blue sky. The classroom was cool during the break, and most people had gone out to bask in the sun.

Zhang Ningzhi seemed to be under a spell, suddenly frozen.

“No, they haven’t even met.”

“???” Jiang Nian was bewildered, “What I said wasn’t exactly that, but it’s close enough, after all, hatred extends to the house and crow.”

After he finished speaking, he also casually performed a verification.

Verification initiated!

Verification question: Zhang Wanhai thinks I’m a young punk.

【Verification Correct】

Although Jiang Nian already had the answer in his heart, the moment the verification result came out, he almost couldn’t maintain the ghostly fire power within him, and it was already almost impossible to suppress.

Hearing this, Zhang Ningzhi suddenly became like a jammed gun, stammering for a long time without being able to say a word.

“It’s not like that.”

“Hmm?” Jiang Nian leaned closer.

“My father’s… opinion, it’s not… important at all,” Zhang Ningzhi’s voice was as soft as a mosquito’s, “I… I don’t listen to him anyway.”

Jiang Nian was also startled, and suddenly realized something.

Just as Jiang Nian didn’t understand his twenty-seven or twenty-eight-year-old self, the Zhang Ningzhi he knew from the System was also twenty-seven or twenty-eight.

Obviously, at that age, she couldn’t only consider herself.

But a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl is much braver than a twenty-seven or twenty-eight-year-old. She is more rebellious in personality, and more daring to express herself. Zhang Ningzhi saw that Jiang Nian didn’t speak, and couldn’t help but purse her lips.

“What… do you think?”

He didn’t want to make the topic too heavy, so he casually touched her leg.

“I think… it’s quite soft.”

Zhang Ningzhi immediately expressed dissatisfaction, picked up her cup, and poured hot water. While giving him a warning glance, she angrily gulped down water.

Big pervert!

She had been worried for a while, and all he thought about was her legs!!

Next time, she’d kick him flying!

As she thought this, she glanced at Jiang Nian again. Seeing him playing with an eraser on the desk, she was suddenly choked by the water. “Cough, cough, cough!!!”

Her face immediately flushed, feeling the gazes around the classroom. She tried hard to calm down, but coughed even more vigorously instead.

She lowered her head, and several tissues were pulled out and placed in front of her.

“You can choke on water?” Jiang Nian’s words almost made her die of anger, “I thought, no one’s fighting you for it.”

“Cough, cough, cough!!” Zhang Ningzhi was both angry and coughing.

Suddenly, her back was patted a few times.

She immediately stiffened, thinking, this is a classroom. Her face began to warm up again uncontrollably, and a warm current rose from her heart.

Her coughing stopped, and she simply lay on the desk.

Zhang Ningzhi pressed her face against the cool desk, listening to the bustling sounds of the classroom, and cooling down as if an ice pack had been applied.

Until the bell rang.

She stood up casually, as if everyone in the class’s memory had been refreshed, and slowly pulled out her second round review materials.

She couldn’t resist, and quickly glanced at Jiang Nian.

The handsome culprit was resting his head on his hand. His long, slender fingers were on the back of his neck, as if nothing had happened.

Zhang Ningzhi let out a light hmph, and placed her books on the desk.

Jiang Nian heard the sound and gave her a warning glance with his peripheral vision. His free hand moved, seemingly about to reach for her leg.

“Ah?” Zhang Ningzhi was startled.

She thought he was crazy!

Class had already started, and the aisle was full of classmates returning to their seats.

Slap, Jiang Nian’s hand was slapped away. He wasn’t surprised, and slowly withdrew his hand like a lord.

Zhang Ningzhi’s teeth itched as she watched, and she became even angrier.

This big pervert! As long as she didn’t refuse, he would keep touching. Then he would take an inch and gain a mile, and eventually dare to touch anything!

In the last class of the morning, the chemistry teacher was summarizing the key points for the second round of review, and casually outlined the syllabus on the blackboard.

Each knowledge point was like an ancient tree strung together by branches.

Jiang Nian listened with great interest; he had been crazy about doing test papers recently.

Every night when he returned home, he would do a test paper when he had nothing to do. Occasionally, when the mood struck him, he would work until two in the morning.

Li Hua yawned, looking unenthusiastic, seemingly staring intently at the blackboard. In reality, he was just looking up at the clock.

Fifteen more minutes, then school’s out.

He had nothing to do, so he started stretching his neck. He accidentally saw the class monitor in the back row spacing out, quietly staring at Jiang Nian.

Li Hua immediately gritted his teeth, thinking, damn Jiang Nian.

Did he cast a spell on the class monitor?

Li Hua didn’t think much of it; regarding Jiang Nian’s popularity with girls. It’s not that he was completely desensitized, but ninety-nine percent of it.

The words of a beast are not to be trusted, I’ve seen it all before.

In a flash, the lunchtime dismissal was a bustling crowd.

Qing Bao had just walked out of Class Two, and turning her head, she saw a familiar face in the crowded, sunny corridor.

The scoundrel surnamed Jiang was extending his hand and smiling, greeting her.

Out of politeness, she stopped.

After Jiang Nian caught up, his first words were.

“Teacher, our class won yesterday.”

“Hmm, I know.” Qing Bao was usually reserved outside, but she added, “I went to watch, but I was standing a bit far away.”

Hearing this, Jiang Nian waved his hand.

“The group stage isn’t much to watch, it’s all those perverted guys forcing me to say it. Wait for the finals, Teacher, then come watch me win the championship.”

In front of Qing Bao, he was an upright and steady gentleman, and he criticized his perverted brothers with a disdainful tone. One could only say, Jiang Nian was very noble.

If Qing Bao showed any sign of interest, he would then shift his own stories onto Li Hua and continue telling them to her.

He would tell all his brothers’ dark secrets, just to make the beauty smile.

Qing Bao smiled, “You guys do your best.”

This was a very ordinary remark; she liked to be seriously perfunctory like this outside, and even Jiang Nian was no exception.

For no other reason than to maintain her serious teacher persona.

However, this scene, in the eyes of the Class Two students who had just been dismissed and were on the stairs, seemed incredibly absurd. They all turned to look at Jiang Nian.

“Champion my foot! How can this guy brag in front of the biology teacher? He’s not embarrassed, but I’m embarrassed just listening to him.”

“Confident, huh? Champion, haha.”

“To show off, he really dares to say anything. Like those guys who see a pretty girl and immediately stab their brothers twice.”

The stairs were noisy, and those few voices didn’t avoid anyone.

Naturally, they also fell into Jiang Nian’s ears.

Hearing this, he didn’t react much. Those words were originally meant for Qing Bao to hear, so others naturally found them jarring.

People hate two things the most: others showing off, and others not letting me show off!

Let them be as sour as they want; he just liked to brag to Qing Bao. Besides, if high school students aren’t arrogant, are they still teenagers?

There were also boys from Class Three on the stairs, and hearing this, they all showed displeasure.

Luo Yong didn’t dare to confront anyone and lowered his head.

Liu Yang was a bit annoyed and spoke directly.

“You damn well know we won a game, right? We don’t play soccer just to win the championship. Are we like you guys, hiding in your mother’s womb?”

The words were crude but the reasoning was sound; a soldier who doesn’t want to be a general is not a good soldier.

“Hmm, I believe in you guys.” Qing Bao spoke unexpectedly, “Work hard, taking a photo with the champions will definitely be cool.”

Her extremely sincere words completely stunned the few critics from Class Two. They were all dumbfounded,

As if struck by lightning.

Wanting to take a photo with the champions, the subtext was that she believed Jiang Nian would win the championship.

Because Qing Bao was also the biology teacher for Class Two, she was usually quite cautious. She never made absolute judgments about anyone.

Not to mention, openly supporting someone like she did today.

Such a commendation was worth a thousand words.

Normally, high school teachers’ care for students is conditional. For example, exceptional students might receive some favoritism from teachers.

Especially in senior year, this situation is relatively common; teachers and these exceptional students have a mutually beneficial relationship.

Those with good relationships could even get snacks from the teacher’s office.

It was even rumored that the homeroom teacher of Class Zero once took a female student from her class to the teachers’ cafeteria because she hadn’t eaten lunch.

Those small groups of boys could only silently go downstairs, unable to utter another sarcastic remark.

Qing Bao suddenly spoke up for Jiang Nian, and did so so obviously. It wasn’t just care; it was already protection.

But after all, there is no unprovoked favoritism in the world. This proved that they at least had the kind of teacher-student relationship where they mutually achieved success.

That also meant that Jiang Nian could access various resources from Qing Bao.

This was… the treatment of a Great Master.

Liu Yang was stunned; the people who were making sarcastic remarks had already left. But now he felt, he was so itchy all over.

He wanted to say something sarcastic, to backstab his teammates fiercely.

Brothers are those dark creatures who can see you doing well. But if you’re doing too well, they suggest you go die.

Damn you! Jiang Nian!

Luo Yong was also stunned; he instinctively felt that conflicts with people were bad. But he hadn’t expected Qing Bao to protect her disciple, and he was completely dumbfounded.

After he came to his senses, his breathing became heavier with jealousy.

One can only say, it’s human nature.

Apart from a warmth in his heart, Jiang Nian felt basically nothing else. As a Senior Brother of the inner sect, isn’t it normal to have some special treatment?

The white doves in the church will not kiss the crows, and the chief Senior Brother will not walk alongside wild dog classmates.

Hehe.

Downstairs, Jiang Nian first thanked her. Then he proactively took Qing Bao’s lesson plan and skipped towards the office.

“Teacher, let’s go.”

Qing Bao glanced at the office, which was only ten meters away from her, and then looked at the crowded staircase behind her… “The last ten meters, and you remember to help me carry the lesson plan?”

“Ah?” Jiang Nian was a bit embarrassed, and simply walked directly towards the office, “Teacher, I’ll make you some tea first.”

Qing Bao: “…”

She entered the office, glanced at Jiang Nian making tea. She sat directly in the chair, squinting and playing with her phone.

A few minutes later, Jiang Nian put down the tea and prepared to leave.

“Teacher, drink slowly.”

“Something wrong?” Qing Bao asked casually.

“Hmm, my family is poor, we can’t afford the cafeteria food.” Jiang Nian lowered his head, pretending to wipe away tears, “I can only go home to cook.”

Qing Bao: “???”

She sat up and took out a meal card from the drawer.

“This is for the teachers’ cafeteria…”

“No need, I’m leaving now.” Jiang Nian smiled, waved, and left the office, “Goodbye, Teacher.”

Qing Bao sat back in her chair, frowning slightly. Realizing that this person was unreliable, she couldn’t help but pout speechlessly.

Then, she reached out her long-fingered hand to feel for the teacup.

Noon, clear weather.

At the lottery shop.

Since national regulations state that amounts under ten thousand yuan are not subject to tax, Jiang Nian smoothly claimed the third prize, a total of ten thousand yuan.

The middle-aged boss’s eyes were wide the whole time, thinking, this is truly unbelievable.

Yesterday, he had even specifically messaged his wife, mocking how students nowadays weren’t studying properly, but instead daydreaming.

But today, this student won.

Damn it, this is infuriating, did he cheat? You beast! He bought a single ticket and won, and it was a machine pick! Who is your dad!

Thinking that a student could win, the boss felt both happy and jealous.

He was happy hoping this news would spread, but he looked up at the student wearing a mask in front of him and immediately fell silent again.

“Well… young man, you only won ten thousand, not ten million. You don’t need to be so cautious, take off your mask.”

Jiang Nian was unmoved, and calmly said.

“I have the flu, and I heard this illness is quite strange. If I infect others and I’m fine, that person will become impotent.”

The boss’s mouth, which was about to open, suddenly closed again.

Damn it, there’s a curse stacked on top of it?

“Alright, congratulations.”

With that, the boss asked another question.

“Donate some?”

“My family can’t afford to eat, we’ve been hungry for two days.” Jiang Nian took the money without any hesitation, turned around, and left.

Only the middle-aged boss was left in disarray in the wind.

With the money, Jiang Nian walked towards home.

He first called someone to discuss the road repair, sent a photo, and then settled on the price.

It was a bit expensive, but Jiang Nian didn’t care.

The lottery money came from the people, and now it was being used for the people. Since it had to be repaired anyway, he just extended the repair by a small section.

After buying vegetables at the market, he went upstairs and knocked on Xu Qianqian’s door.

“Little white rabbit, be good, open the door…” He hadn’t even hummed a few lines before the door opened from the inside, revealing a beautiful girl’s face with a rather speechless expression.

“It’s me, don’t make a fuss.”
