Chapter 145: Zhizhi, Who Has Money and Is Capricious

The two of them were at the railing, one facing forward and one backward, one leaning there looking at Green Wood Ridge, and the other with their back against it, looking at the classroom.

The autumn breeze blew in the afternoon, and neither of them spoke, quietly listening to the young couple arguing.

Ji Jiayu: “Can you be a bit more mature?”

Yuan Zhengchuan: “Mature about what? Is it as mature as your new boyfriend?”

“What new boyfriend? Are you sick?”

“How would I know! You know it in your heart!”

“Whatever you say.”

The young couple’s argument made Jiang Nian, who was outside the classroom corridor, laugh. Unfortunately, Chen Yunyun was standing next to him, so he couldn’t gloat with her.

Sigh, women are really boring.

He was too close, and it wasn’t convenient to take out his phone to record, as it would be awkward if discovered.

After all, he was currently a “three-no” person, a completely innocent white lotus who didn’t know the reason. Why were they arguing? It was truly terrible; he hoped they would break up soon.

To have to have a fever in the second half of the lunch break, if one didn’t know better, one would think they were doing something else—it could only be said to be damn annoying.

As for when to stop? He hadn’t done anything at all, so there was no such thing as stopping.

To be fair, what was wrong with helping a classmate? This society was too damn cold.

If one had to blame someone, blame their love for not being pure; if they liked to “hee-hee” so much, let them keep “hee-hee”-ing.

Lunch break.

The young couple had gone out to argue, and the classroom was quiet.

Jiang Nian skillfully lay on the desk, pillowing his head on his hands, enjoying the tranquility in the classroom. No one was shaking the table, and there were no coquettish noises or “hee-hee” sounds.

He slept until the lunch break bell rang.

Li Hua, Ma Guojun, and Zhang Ningzhi arrived at the classroom one after another. Jiang Nian was sitting in the middle of a row and stood up to make room for Zhang Ningzhi, who was in the seat against the wall.

Zhang Ningzhi took a box of lemon tea out of her small bag and placed it in Jiang Nian’s drawer.

When she looked up, she saw Jiang Nian covering his mouth with his hand, yawning as he walked out of the classroom door.

Her small face couldn’t help but tighten; she always felt like she was feeding an ungrateful wretch.

In the corridor, a group of people had just woken up from their lunch break or had just rushed to the classroom from the dormitory or home. Their faces wore numb expressions, similar to those going to visit a grave.

Jiang Nian, Ma Guojun, and Li Hua stood in a row at the railing, looking down at the bustling crowd below.

Li Hua started the conversation, clicking his tongue twice.

“That one looks good.”

“Where?” Ma Guojun leaned forward.

“Hua, do you like Yu Tongjie geigei?” Jiang Nian didn’t look at the girl; instead, he recognized Yu Tongjie in the crowd at a glance and kept his gaze fixed on him.

That’s how the pure hate party is; one might not see the person they like at first glance. But for someone they hate, even if that person were burned to ashes, they could recognize them from a hundred meters away.

Li Hua also saw Yu Tongjie in the crowd below and said unhappily.

“It really is that brat. I don’t know what he’s been up to lately. It makes me nauseous just looking at him; he’s pure garbage.”

“Hey, don’t over-praise him.”

After Jiang Nian finished speaking, he kept staring at Yu Tongjie until he disappeared into the crowd below, and only then did he retract his gaze.

“I wonder what score Jie Ge can get.”

“What score could he get? Just trash with a score of five hundred something.”

Hearing this, Ma Guojun and Jiang Nian turned their heads in unison and stared at Li Hua.

“Are you secretly unleashing an area-of-effect taunt skill, kid?”

After staring at Li Hua, Ma Guojun pushed up the glasses on his nose and suddenly became excited. “Can we leave school early during tomorrow’s Evening Self-Study?”

“Why?”

“The Joint Exam is the day after tomorrow, we have to prepare or something.” Ma Guojun explained, “I estimate we’ll only have two sessions of Evening Self-Study. Who is on duty tomorrow?”

“It seems to be our group?” Li Hua was dumbfounded.

Jiang Nian didn’t care. If it was their group’s turn to be on duty tomorrow, then after they were dismissed early from Evening Self-Study, the whole group would inevitably have to stay behind to clean.

Maybe they would even have to help set up the exam venue, move desks, stick on student numbers, and so on.

He would ask Xu Qianqian tonight; she didn’t need to stay for duty, so he would let her go home first. Anyway, it was only a little past eight after the second session of Evening Self-Study, and it would still be early.

An afternoon of classes passed, and Jiang Nian used the Fatigue Immunity once.

He wasn’t sleepy, it was just…

In the evening, when Jiang Nian returned from eating at the Cafeteria, he discovered another box of lemon tea on his desk. He was stunned for a moment; he had already drunk one in the afternoon, why was there another one?

Did the lemon tea copy and paste itself?

Ten minutes later, Zhang Ningzhi and Yao Beibei returned hand in hand.

Yao Beibei didn’t go back to her own seat but simply sat down in Li Hua’s seat.

Jiang Nian glanced at her, “Huang Beibei, what have you been doing these past few days?”

“Get lost, you’re the one surnamed Huang!” Yao Beibei leaned back on the chair with her limbs splayed, looking at the ceiling, “What else could I be doing, preparing for the Joint Exam.”

“Between seizing the day and living in the moment, I chose to live in the moment. Pretty impressive, right?”

“Impressive.” Jiang Nian gave a thumbs up, “Beibei Jie is invincible, I’ll wave a yellow flag for you. It’s a pity Li Hua isn’t here, otherwise, I could let him learn a thing or two.”

“Him?” Yao Beibei’s posture was arrogant, as if she could take on seven people at once, “Who is Li Hua?”

Such strong aggression; she was worthy of being Huang Beibei.

A “down-to-earth” guy like Li Hua would only choose to “seize the day” when under pressure, between enjoying life and seizing the moment.

Under Jiang Nian’s flattery, Yao Beibei completely puffed up. She looked around Li Hua’s desk and took out his English test paper to whip the corpse.

“Why did this person use a black pen to make corrections? Is he afraid to face his true self? I’ll mark it out for him.”

After Beibei left, Jiang Nian looked at Zhang Ningzhi with curiosity.

“Why did you buy (lemon tea) again this afternoon?”

Zhang Ningzhi turned her head to look at him, her small face tight, and said seriously.

“I have money and I’m capricious.”

“Hahaha, awesome, awesome, awesome.” Jiang Nian was amused by her, “I know you have money, don’t buy it for me next time, it’s a waste if I can’t finish it.”

“You can give it to the group leader.” She said.

Jiang Nian waved his hand in refusal, “He’s purely a wild boar that can’t appreciate fine fodder.”

“Alright then.”

Before Evening Self-Study, the sky grew darker, and Yang Qiming lay on his bed in the dormitory, staring at the fluorescent light tube on the ceiling.

He was heartbroken, like a fish on the shore lacking oxygen.

He didn’t feel anything when they broke up, just thinking of it as a normal conflict. It wasn’t until they separated that the aftereffects slowly surged up; she had completely withdrawn from his life.

His heart felt hollow, as if half of it were missing.

Even though he tried very hard to forget, he would still emo when he was alone.

After school in the afternoon, he went to the second-year teaching building alone and went to her class. He carefully pretended to pass by, but he didn’t bump into her.

Yang Qiming picked up his phone; half an hour ago, he had posted a status.

【The end of the sea is not the sea, but the regrets in the bottom of one’s heart.】

A dozen people liked it, most of them were boys in the class. There was even one from “Jiang Yue Nian Nian Wang Xiang Si”, he didn’t seem to have added Jiang Nian on QQ.

Why did he like his post?

Below were a few comments, the first one was from his good brother Lin Dong.

“The end of the sea is Polari seaweed.”

Yang Qiming’s defense was broken; the joys and sorrows of people are not connected. The pain in his heart, when it fell on others, was just a simple joke.

They had changed dormitories, after all, and the brotherhood had grown distant; both love and brotherhood were lost.

The second comment came from Luo Yong: “The end of the sea is the enemy.”

Enough, he was sadder than Eren!

The third comment was posted by Huang Cailang, and it was surprisingly a rare piece of heartwarming encouragement.

“I understand you! Come on, Brother Yang! (Thumbs up) Everything will get better!”

Yang Qiming couldn’t help but be greatly moved; brothers in the same dormitory were warmer after all. He tapped away on the screen to reply to Huang Cailang’s comment, typed a whole bunch, but in the end, only sent “Thank you.”

Suddenly, the dormitory door was pushed open.

“Brother Yang?”

Hearing this, Yang Qiming was stunned and poked his head out from the upper bunk.

“Cailang? Why did you return to the dormitory?”

“Just finished eating, came back to the dorm to get a jacket.” Huang Cailang walked into the empty dormitory and took his clothes from the lower bunk, “Brother Yang, you have to pull yourself together.”

“Thank you, Cailang, I have already given up.”

“No!”

“Ah?”

The dormitory lights were switched on and off by the dormitory manager; it was late October now, and the days were short and the nights long. The dormitory lights being turned on meant that Evening Self-Study was about to start, with at most half an hour left.

Huang Cailang knew he didn’t have much time left and had to hurry up and speak.

“Brother Yang, are you willing?”

“Willing? It’s all in the past, what else can I do?” Yang Qiming’s mentality was very strange; when no one asked, he struggled to support himself, but when someone comforted him, he wanted to just give up.

“But, this ending is too sloppy, isn’t it?” Huang Cailang approached the edge of the bed and said with a serious face, “Brother Yang, you have to know why, at least.”

Yang Qiming was stunned and muttered.

“Yeah, I can’t just let it be so muddled.”

“What if there’s another story behind it?” Huang Cailang really wanted to eat wontons, but he didn’t want to be a villain, so he could only push it from the side and try to persuade himself.

This was for Brother Yang’s own good, not to leave him with regrets. He cared about him without asking for anything in return; what was wrong with helping a roommate walk out of the shadow of a breakup?

Move the top ten high school students of Zhennan!

“I’ll go find her and try again. I… I’ll buy some snacks, how about using that as an excuse?” Yang Qiming sat up from the bed at once, rubbing his hands continuously.

Huang Cailang swallowed his saliva, thinking to himself that the rich kid was truly generous. He never went empty-handed even when meeting an ex-girlfriend; he was worthy of being someone who dated a junior.

“I think that works!”

Yang Qiming was like a shot of adrenaline, his dejected state completely gone.

“Put on clothes, which set is more handsome? What time is it now? Damn, it’s so late. Cailang, what snacks do you think I should buy?”

Huang Cailang was a bit dumbfounded, “Whatever, brother.”

Evening Self-Study, the classroom was brightly lit.

Li Hua looked at the few English test papers on his desk, covered in red, and felt as if the sky had collapsed!

“Who! Who did this!”

“Your Beibei Jie.”

“Is Yao Beibei sick or what!” Li Hua said with a face full of pain, looking at the red crosses on the English test paper, “I specifically used a black pen to make corrections, and she changed them to red.”

“I can’t do it anymore, I can’t breathe! This is campus bullying!”

The first and second sessions of Evening Self-Study were biology and chemistry tests.

Currently, only English and physics were left untested, and speaking of the devil, there was an English test during the third and fourth sessions of Evening Self-Study.

Jiang Nian had a cheat, so he wasn’t tired. He finished the English test paper early and threw it aside. Watching Li Hua scratching his ears and cheeks while writing the test paper, he felt particularly happy.

Doing problems today, going over problems tomorrow, and the Joint Exam the day after tomorrow.

He calculated that, including the Weekly Test, it seemed they had taken three rounds of tests this week.

It seemed that the teachers of all subjects had a tacit understanding to conduct a few small tests before the Joint Exam the day after tomorrow, which felt like giving the students some practice.

He just wanted to lie down and sleep for a while, but his arm was poked.

Turning his head to look, Zhang Ningzhi was staring at him.

“Don’t sleep during Evening Self-Study.”

After speaking, she specifically pointed to the box of lemon tea on the table. It meant to remind Jiang Nian that regarding the agreement for the Joint Exam, she enjoyed supreme supervisory power.

“Okay, I’m not going to sleep, it’s Li Hua who asked me to help him find the most comfortable sleeping position.”

Li Hua couldn’t do the English test paper at all, and he was eavesdropping on the whole conversation, so he got anxious.

“Damn it! Stop framing me!”

“Hahaha.”

After Evening Self-Study ended.

Huang Cailang walked out of the classroom carrying a bag of snacks, watching Yang Qiming’s lonely back as he walked in front. He couldn’t help but shake his head; a heartbroken man was truly pitiful.

He walked a few steps faster and patted Yang Qiming on the shoulder.

“Brother Yang, what happened?”

Yang Qiming just shook his head, “She refuses to see me, there’s no hope.”

Hearing this, Huang Cailang’s mind went blank. He had originally wanted to comfort Yang Qiming and then say something like “everything will pass” and “focus on preparing for the Joint Exam.”

But the snacks in his hand were heavy, and he hesitated for a moment, but the words that blurted out were:

“Brother Yang, could it be that she is also tormented by the emotions of the breakup, and she hasn’t thought about how to face you? She’s in the same state of confusion as you.”

In the army of boarding students returning to the dormitory, within the flow of people.

Yang Qiming’s footsteps paused.

Friendly book recommendation: Good news: Reborn in the city, with a cultivation System. Bad news: There is a BUG. Good news: Run by the BUG.

【Detected that the host’s cultivation is stagnant, why not travel across the world, hone your Dao Heart, and comprehend the Law from it. Reward: Suitable Spell Xuan Tong x1.】

Chu Dan arrived at the foot massage shop, facing the beautiful girl who was bowing her head shyly, frowning slightly: “Weak and frail… You are not worthy of being my opponent, call your Elder here!”

Facing the uncle in his forties, Chu Dan was overjoyed and laughed out loud: “This is what you call a challenge. Senior, haven’t you eaten?!”

【The host fought against a Foundation Establishment Body Cultivator with a Qi Refining body, fought for three incense sticks without being defeated, and even comprehended the Law during the battle, like a fighting Asura. Reward: 《Blood Fiend Asura Technique》 x1.】

Chu Dan limped out of the foot massage shop, hands behind his back, looking at the sky.

Who said that health-preserving foot massage is not a Dao, and that massage techniques are not a Spell?
