Chapter 436 Learning is still necessary.

Jiang Nian grinned, smiling silently.

He looked at the pale Wang Yuhe and thought… showing off? I’ll make you fly!

Wang Yuhe, for the sake of Face, also stubbornly held on till the end.

“Hmph, who… is afraid of whom!”

The lunch break bell rang, and Chen Yunyun sat beside her for a while. She then took Wang Yuhe back to her seat, preparing to do her homework.

The classroom was quiet, with the warm winter sun slanting in.

Time flew by, and it was almost 1:50 PM.

Many day students gathered at the main entrance, waiting for it to open. Among them, several gazes occasionally swept in one direction.

At the end of those gazes stood a cool and distant figure.

Li Qingrong had a fair complexion and a tall, slender figure.

Her eyes were deep, and she stared blankly at a spot, lost in thought. She had a somewhat cold demeanor, exuding an aura that warned others to keep their distance.

After changing seats, no matter how much she tried to adapt, she couldn’t quite get used to it. To be precise, she wasn’t used to it after she had some free time.

Walking on the road, the thought of no one being in front of her when she returned to the classroom suddenly made her feel so meaningless, and she suddenly didn’t want to go to school anymore.

1:50 PM.

The sound of the lunch break ending bell rang, and the school gate opened.

“It’s open, it’s open!”

Li Qingrong moved, walking into the school with the flow of people. The few gazes that had been on her slowly shifted with her.

“Class Monitor!!”

Nie Qiqi rushed out from the crowd behind, sprinting through the crowded school path at a speed that could have run over several people.

Li Qingrong stopped and looked back.

Hmm?

The timid smiling tiger had already shed her human form, her Face sporting an Anya expression, and she lunged forward with a big stride.

But just as she jumped, she was grabbed by the collar from behind by a hand.

“Stare—!” Nie Qiqi turned her head and met a pair of speechless eyes. She was utterly shocked, her eyes wide as she looked at the other person, “When did you get here?”

“I’ve been here the whole time.” Cai Xiaoqing was speechless.

She had seen Li Qingrong from the school gate. She just didn’t go up to say hello at the time, seeing that the Class Monitor was thinking about something.

Nie Qiqi became obedient, swallowing her anger.

“Class Monitor, what a coincidence, what a coincidence.”

“Don’t yell, the Class Monitor is thinking.” Cai Xiaoqing lightly patted Nie Qiqi, “Don’t disturb her.”

“Oh, what is the Class Monitor thinking about?”

“Maybe… a problem?”

“Is that so, Class Monitor?”

Li Qingrong watched the two of them seriously discussing her thoughts in front of her, even asking her for confirmation.

Her eyes lowered, but she didn’t want to tell others, so she nodded.

“Mhm, mhm.”

“I plan to confess to that girl from the liberal arts class in a few days.”

“Huh?”

“Cough, cough, cough!!!”

Afternoon, the North District dormitory bathed in sunlight.

Approaching class time, on the crowded school path.

Yang Qiming’s declaration of love directly shocked Lin and Huang on either side, and Cai Lang, who was eating spicy strips, was choked to the point of tears.

Like a gorilla, he pounded his chest!

“Brother, why?”

“Sigh, it’s a long story.” Yang Qiming sighed.

Huang Cai Lang scratched his head, squeezing out two sentences with his meager knowledge of romance.

“Shouldn’t such things be considered carefully? I see in TV dramas that the male and female leads always fall in love over time.” Hearing this, Yang Qiming’s Face was clouded with worry.

He couldn’t help but recall the scene of Lu Xuan and Jiang Nian playfully bickering at the stairwell, and his heart inexplicably twisted. Falling in love over time, well said!

But precisely because of falling in love over time, he couldn’t delay any longer!

“My mind is made up, no need to say more.”

Lin Dong had matured since he got the wool. He knew about Lu Xuan’s matter, which was simply unrequited love.

In the past, he would have strongly advised against it, but now he would only smile and wish him well.

“Then I wish you success, just don’t make too big a show of it. Girls these days don’t like high-profile displays; just buy a bouquet of flowers to confess.”

Better to guide than to block, and a bouquet of flowers wouldn’t cost much anyway.

“Good brother, you really understand me!” Yang Qiming was overjoyed and said grandly, “When I succeed, I’ll treat you guys to KTV!”

Lin Dong didn’t take this to heart.

Fake KTV, he probably wouldn’t get to sing this lifetime.

Huang Cai Lang, however, was quite looking forward to it. He used to hear his cousins brag about the delicious fruit platters and snacks at KTV during Chinese New Year.

“Brother, you have to work hard!”

“Don’t worry!”

On the fourth floor, Jiang Nian had just returned from the restroom.

He was shaking his wet hands as he walked in, and happened to run into Yang Qiming and the other two coming up the stairs at the corridor entrance, so he greeted them.

Strangely, Yang Qiming’s eyes were slightly evasive.

Jiang Nian: “?”

The abstract Divine Beasts of Class 3, each one… really… strange all the time.

After returning to the classroom.

Zhang Ningzhi had already arrived and was sitting in the back row, sipping water. Jiang Nian’s eyes lit up at the sight, and he was about to go and unite with her.

Double swords uniting, like Hongmao and Lantou.

Suddenly, someone entered through the back door of the classroom.

Li Qingrong walked past Jiang Nian, then stopped directly. She turned to look at Jiang Nian, her cherry lips slightly parted as she asked, “Are you uncomfortable with the change of seats?”

Jiang Nian was stunned, taking two seconds to understand the question.

Actually, the back row was quite enjoyable.

However, he certainly couldn’t say that, after all, there were historical precedents. Liu Shan said, “I am so happy here, I don’t even miss Shu,” and it has been remembered to this day.

“I’m really not used to it. There aren’t many people in the back row either. And the seats are so far apart, it’s inconvenient to ask you questions.”

Li Qingrong nodded, giving a soft hum.

“You can ask me after school in the afternoon.”

Jiang Nian thought about it, and it really wasn’t a loss. He could grasp both learning and beauty, without delaying either. Both high and hard, both sides hard.

So he nodded, agreeing directly.

“Okay.”

Zhang Ningzhi was holding a glass cup, sipping hot water in small sips.

Her peripheral vision glanced towards the back door of the classroom, seeing Jiang Nian and the Class Monitor standing there chatting. She couldn’t help but pout. Sure enough, he was a sneaky cat!

Hmph!

Later, she definitely wouldn’t give him a good look, and would ignore him completely!

Jiang Nian had just sat down and was about to talk to Zhang Ningzhi. But seeing her turn away, he directly patted Li Hua’s shoulder.

“Hua, do you have any cars you can recommend?”

Li Hua was stunned for a few seconds, then pointed at him.

“You’re getting more and more pretentious, just spouting nonsense!”

“Seriously asking.”

“You want to buy a car?” Li Hua stared at him, suddenly feeling that Jiang Nian had become unfamiliar, “No, are you really going to buy one?”

Zhang Ningzhi also perked up her ears, liking to hear some gossip.

“Rent a car.” Jiang Nian didn’t continue to pretend, fearing that Li Hua would be so jealous he’d transform, “I’ll get my driver’s license at the end of the month, and my hands are itching.”

“Awesome, daring to rent a car right after getting your driver’s license.” Li Hua gave a thumbs up, “Which car rental company are you looking for…?”

Zhang Ningzhi listened until the end, then couldn’t help but poke him.

“You’re getting your driver’s license at the end of the month?”

Suddenly, the class bell rang.

Jiang Nian glanced at her, but didn’t immediately reply. He pointed at the teacher at the door, a mysterious smile on his Face. Class started, and so did the mission.

“Hmph, if you don’t want to say, then don’t.” Zhang Ningzhi turned away, pouting, then added, worriedly, “Be careful when you drive, it’s best not to drive alone.”

Hehe, Zhizhi Baby’s heart is so soft.

“Don’t worry, I won’t take risks alone.” Jiang Nian nodded, “I’ll bring Li Hua and Ma Guojun with me.”

“red stone, red stone!” Li Hua instantly turned pale, “We treat you as a brother, but you treat your brothers as Japanese, huh?!”

Jiang Nian smiled without speaking, staring at him for a few seconds before asking.

“Just tell me if you’re going or not?”

“Going.”

Girls might not trust their boyfriends of seven years, but boys will get on a dog’s motorcycle, emphasizing trust above all else.

Bruce, you wouldn’t harm me, right?

Woof!

That’s good.

On the podium, the physics teacher slowly opened the textbook.

Just then, Zhang Ningzhi heard Jiang Nian beside her. He inexplicably said, “I never thought we’d be deskmates.”

“Huh?” She looked utterly bewildered.

We’ve been sitting together for three months, and you just realized we’re deskmates? (My fists are clenching)

Jiang Nian didn’t care that much, he just spoke his pre-prepared lines. Anyway, he was usually crazy, so he didn’t need to explain anything.

“That’s great, it would have been good if it was like this back then.”

Zhang Ningzhi looked left and right. The teacher was giving a lesson on the podium. The back row was empty, confirming that Jiang Nian was talking to her.

“Back then?”

Ding!

【Mission: Revisit old haunts with Zhang Ningzhi, and attend a class as deskmates. (Completed) Reward activated successfully.】

Jiang Nian opened the System panel and, after checking it, indeed saw a new skill, 【Good News】, in the skill bar.

The skill icon was a small loudspeaker, identical to those in supermarkets.

He almost couldn’t maintain his composure, and with a trembling finger, he tapped it open. A string of instructions popped up, which could be summarized in one sentence.

Trash-picking loudspeaker.

Activate 【Good News】 once every seven days, randomly refreshing ownerless items. It roughly means picking up treasures and finding bargains.

This made him think of Doraemon’s coin-picking bee, which also picked up loose change dropped by people everywhere.

Ownerless items, hmm… wouldn’t that be a tomb?

Strictly speaking, an ancient tomb from several hundred years ago could also be considered an ownerless item now. This is what I picked up!

But that would be too criminal, and he’d easily end up in jail.

Refreshing Opportunity, hmm… this phrasing is more appropriate.

Snapping back to reality, Jiang Nian met Zhang Ningzhi’s round eyes. She was blinking, staring at him with a puzzled expression.

“Oh, oh, I was reciting movie lines.”

“What movie?”

“Forgot, it was a short video I watched last night.” Jiang Nian scratched his head, “I like to watch strange videos to help me sleep before bed.”

“Sometimes when my brain recalls them, my mouth unconsciously recites them.”

Jiang Nian took the Opportunity to preemptively patch things up. He thought that if he ever slipped up later, he could use this excuse as a shield.

“Liar!” Zhang Ningzhi frowned.

“If you don’t believe me, you can observe Li Hua.” Jiang Nian said, “He often shoots hoops in empty places, jumping to touch leaves.”

Li Hua turned his head: “?”

After school in the afternoon.

Zhang Ningzhi had already forgotten Jiang Nian’s sophistry and went to eat with Yao Beibei, waving happily at him as she left.

“Bye-bye, we’re going to eat.”

“Okay, I’ll do some problems.” Jiang Nian waved back, watching them leave, “It’s really good to have a forgiving personality.”

Zhizhi is so cute, and Yao Beibei is also a decent person.

After doing all that, Jiang Nian got up and walked to the front of the classroom. There, Li Qingrong was waiting for him in her seat.

This studying, he still had to study.
