Chapter 433 Did You Take Care of Me?

The scene shifts, and the last shot is of the plane landing in Nanshi.

A suitcase rolls down the aisle, and the screen gradually darkens.

Jiang Nian withdrew from the fragmented memories, staring at the pitch-black ceiling of the room, lost in thought.

From his ex-wife’s perspective, her life before dating was sparse. Memories were relatively few, and the exact ages of both parties could not be determined.

The only thing that could be confirmed was that his future self, after starting work and before dating his ex-wife, had some very shallow interactions.

He was twenty-eight when he dated his ex-wife, and Xu Qianqian even flew back specifically.

She immediately delivered a kick to his heart; it was clear she wasn’t acting.

Two years passed, and they married at thirty. The wedding was very tense with his ex-wife, and later he saw Qingqing get into trouble.

Smoking in the hallway, he hastily entered into marriage.

At thirty-two, a mid-life crisis erupted. At thirty-five, he lost his job, leading to arguments. Finally, at thirty-eight, they divorced.

He lit a cigarette in the ruins, becoming, in people’s eyes, someone who hadn’t tried hard enough.

In the room.

Jiang Nian, not feeling sleepy, sat up from the bed, threw off the covers, got dressed, and went to his desk.

Click, the small desk lamp turned on.

He pulled out an exam paper, intending to make up for his laziness. It wasn’t about being overly competitive, but rather that effort yielded tangible results.

As long as he scored over 650, the benefits would be immense.

It’s hard for people to understand the significance of a certain moment for the future. Only when facing career setbacks do they realize the importance of education, but this is not a fault.

Those with malicious intent will constantly apply pressure. For example, people richer than you, who work harder than you, tell you to find your own problems.

How can one life compare to someone with dozens, or even an infinite number of lives?

Always finding one’s own problems: kindness being trampled on, finding one’s own problems; working hard but not earning money, finding one’s own problems.

Unable to afford the bride price, finding one’s own problems; marriage failure, finding one’s own problems.

When a person dies and the accounts are settled, the young master is the MVP. Those who are poor and destitute are all lazy dogs unwilling to learn or improve.

This is… you goddamn it.

Jiang Nian knew that his mid-life failure was not due to his lack of effort.

Effort doesn’t guarantee success; if they don’t give you an opportunity, they just don’t. They just tease you, driving you to madness.

Since he had seen the future through the System, he wouldn’t let his life fall apart.

So, that brings us back to the point.

Studying is the best way out for young people. It’s like playing a game, first picking up the weapons on the levels along the way, getting to max level, maxing out inscriptions, then leaving the Beginner Village (newbie village).

“Jiangzi’s Exhortation to Learn.”

After finishing the exam paper, Jiang Nian felt like he was truly a modern-day Xunzi.

Immersing himself in the situation, wholeheartedly advocating for learning.

The next day.

Jiang Nian patted his face and climbed out of bed.

As he brushed his teeth, he looked at his haggard reflection in the mirror. He suddenly felt a bit of regret; he had been too pretentious last night.

With his blood pumping, he furiously wrote on the exam papers.

Going out.

Jiang Nian stared at Xu Qianqian’s shoes by the door, watching them for several seconds.

It wasn’t that he wanted to inhale; his head was just a little dizzy.

Forget it, forget it, don’t wait until the afternoon, activate 【Heal】. Don’t actually die; this kind of all-nighter behavior is not encouraged.

After activating Heal, he felt completely refreshed.

He was alive again.

Jiang Nian skipped to school, buying a bun from the bun shop owner. He hadn’t eaten them in a long time, so he changed his taste.

He didn’t run into Feifei. How did this person become even stingier after getting rich?

Saving money for what?

After entering the classroom, it was still the same sound.

“Good morning, Fangfang!”

No one replied.

“Huh?”

Jiang Nian leaned over and saw that Emperor Fangfang was sleeping with her head on the desk. She looked listless, clearly having a fever.

“Are you sick?”

“Just a small cold, I’ll be fine after a nap.” Huang Fang didn’t want to trouble anyone.

“Indeed, such a minor cold is merely a fatal injury.” Jiang Nian nodded, “I used to tough it out in my past life.”

Huang Fang: “…I’ll get medicine at noon.”

This person’s words are truly a jinx, endlessly hurtful.

“How foolish, Fangfang!” Jiang Nian put down his backpack, heartbroken, “Li Hua has medicine in his drawer, purely wild-grown.”

“Wouldn’t that be bad?”

“Just put it on my tab, I drink it like a beverage anyway.” Jiang Nian was indifferent, “Oh, and he also has a big bag of Banlangen… During morning self-study.

“red stone, red stone!!” Li Hua clutched his head, letting out a sharp shriek, “Jiang Nian, you bastard!

“Are you a goddamn Divine Farmer! Drinking medicine like tea!”

“What’s wrong?” Jiang Nian, with an indifferent expression, picked his ear, “I picked it up off the ground, how was I supposed to know it was yours?”

“You can red stone!” Li Hua exploded with anger, “BYD, medicine in the drawer, why don’t you say it’s wild?” “On the ground, isn’t that wild?” Jiang Nian finished, then quickly shifted the blame, “Ma Guojun, what do you think?”

The big Ma Guojun grinned, pushing up his glasses.

“Give me a pack.”

“Get lost, you’re all crazy, even medicine you want to taste!”

This tactic of shifting blame was very effective. Li Hua immediately started yelling at Ma Guojun, and then the two quickly began to argue.

Jiang Nian, taking advantage of the chaos, was even able to chat with Zhang Ningzhi.

“What did you two talk about last night?”

“Hmph, I won’t tell you!”

Huang Fang, having taken medicine, had recovered some energy and was now standing at her seat, reading aloud during morning self-study, truly worthy of being Emperor Fangfang.

Pure willpower, a Mortal’s path.

“Cab! Cab!”

Li Hua’s loud reading caught Jiang Nian’s attention. He hadn’t expected Li Hua, this lazy dog, to have memorized from ‘A’ to ‘C’!

Ningzhi was also surprised and exchanged a look with Jiang Nian, saying.

“The group leader seems serious this time. If we can get to ‘C’ now, speed up the progress and build a solid foundation, perhaps we can…”

“Then you test him.”

“Oh, okay.” Zhang Ningzhi leaned slightly forward, looking at Li Hua on the other side, “Group leader, how do you spell ‘block’?”

Upon hearing this, Li Hua immediately froze.

“Cough cough, cough!”

He couldn’t say it, because he had forgotten all the words he had memorized. He only remembered ‘abandon’ and ‘bad’; the rest simply wouldn’t come to mind.

Every time he thought of the two people sitting next to him who scored over 130 in English, he would immediately become so jealous that he would crawl on the ground in despair.

“I forgot.”

Jiang Nian immediately grinned, “I told you so.”

“Heh heh, thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river.” Li Hua said nothing, just lowered his head and loudly memorized words, “Cave!”

Morning self-study ended.

Zhou Yuting slept on her desk for a while, dreaming she was in the provincial joint exam. She couldn’t answer a single question and woke up with a jolt.

She checked the time; only six minutes of the ten-minute break had passed. She felt disoriented, as if she had slept for a very long time.

Thinking of the provincial joint exam, she immediately couldn’t fall back asleep.

Specifically for the third-year science class, Olympiad Class 3 was now the top class below Class 0, facing immense academic pressure.

This class… Zhou Yuting turned her head, her peripheral vision catching her deskmate Yang Qiming asleep with his face on the desk. His mouth was slightly open, and saliva slowly drooled out.

It was predictable that once the water supply was successful.

It would inevitably be a torrent descending three thousand feet.

As she thought of this, her entire body stiffened. Finally, unable to hold back, she pulled out a tissue and placed it in the path of the advancing saliva.

She hoped it would help a little; this class was too abstract.

She thought of Jiang Nian, and a sigh escaped her heart. She wondered how he had managed to go from five hundred to over six hundred points.

Walking the path he had walked, she also felt a sense of emotion.

The first two periods on Monday were back-to-back English classes. Sister Xi came trotting in. A small microphone was clipped to her waist, and she blew into it twice.

“Alright, everyone wake up!”

“Wake up!”

“Jiang Nian, go up and wipe the blackboard.”

“Huh?”

“No, teacher… why me?” Jiang Nian was stunned, “Wiping the blackboard, isn’t that the duty of the student on duty?”

“Less nonsense, you’re not enthusiastic at all.” Sister Xi pointed at him, “Do what I tell you to do, understood?”

“red stone.” Jiang Nian reluctantly got up, mimicking Li Hua’s catchphrase, then pointed at Zhang Ningzhi.

“Don’t you laugh either; I’ll wipe it on your face after I’m done with the blackboard.”

“Hmph!” Zhang Ningzhi pouted, lying on her desk and staring at him, muttering softly, “Ungrateful wolf, I won’t give you food anymore.”

If she doesn’t give it, I’ll just take it myself. It’s wild anyway.

English class was indeed boring.

Jiang Nian spent the entire class doing chemistry exam papers, occasionally leaning over to see what Zhang Ningzhi was doing, and taking a sniff of her body scent.

It’s a bit perverted, it’s like that.

But he couldn’t be blamed for it.

In the dead of winter, the air quality in the classroom was terrible. He couldn’t quite describe the smell; it wasn’t exactly foul, but it made it hard to breathe.

It was warm and cozy, making it easy to fall asleep.

He could only occasionally sniff Zhang Ningzhi’s scent to refresh himself, waking up his almost numb nose. “So sleepy.” Li Hua pulled out a bottle of essential balm from his drawer treasure chest, stuck out his tongue, and dripped a drop, smacking his lips.

“Hiss~~~!!”

Jiang Nian watched from the side, his teeth aching, and he leaned back defensively.

“What’s that smell?”

“Of course it’s the smell of essential balm, what else could it be?” Li Hua scoffed, “Bumpkin, truly never seen anything like it.”

At eight in the morning, no one isn’t sleepy.

Zhang Ningzhi took out a bag of refreshing spices, gently sniffed it at her nose, and then patted her face to stay awake.

“So sleepy.”

Jiang Nian had a flash of inspiration and came up with a good idea.

“I can suddenly scare you when you let your guard down. I guarantee you’ll be wide awake instantly, how about it?”

“No!” Zhang Ningzhi pouted.

“When a girl says no, she means yes.”

“You!”

Jiang Nian took a punch and immediately felt comfortable. He didn’t know why, but he felt uncomfortable all over if he didn’t get hit for a day.

He remembered the first chicken he raised last night and turned to look at Li Hua with a gentle gaze.

“Hua, you should eat more rice.”

“What kind of rice?” Li Hua was utterly bewildered, then realized, and put him in a headlock, “You still haven’t changed!”

During the break, Ma Guojun walked over to chime in.

“Li Hua, don’t be so petty.”

“It’s easy for you to say! It’s not your name being used!” Li Hua turned his head, his grip naturally loosening.

Jiang Nian managed to create a little space and added.

“I also raised a Ma Guojun.”

“You goddamn it!” The big Ma Guojun immediately lost his composure and joined the murder scene, “Change it for me!”

“Cluck cluck cluck, cluck cluck cluck.” Jiang Nian displayed the spirit of a Zhennan person, “Eat… eat rice, children.”

Zhang Ningzhi had also been lurking in the group chat yesterday and asked curiously.

“Did you raise me?”
