Chapter 216 can’t be seen by others because he didn’t do it either.

“What the heck, I’m not a girl, how would I know?” Ma Guojun said, annoyed.

“Say ‘heck’ not ‘hell,’ it’s good for everyone.” Li Hua found amusement again, excitedly gesticulating. He turned and asked, “Nian, what do you think?”

Jiang Nian stood in the corridor, stroking his chin.

“Why don’t we ask the Magic Conch?”

Yao Beibei had just returned from the restroom and happened to overhear their idiotic conversation, so she couldn’t help but glance at them.

“Idiots.”

The three were attacked, but it didn’t matter.

In Li Hua’s understanding, their small group of five only had one and a half girls. One was Zhang Ningzhi, who was a girl in the true sense of the word.

Yao Beibei could only be considered a quarter of a girl, and another quarter was Jiang Nian.

Because he would occasionally activate the “Xiaohongshu Warning” trap card, or use the invincible skill card “Families, who understands this?” which was like a Void Realm enemy search.

The rain would eventually stop, but the head would always be there.

Now, Yao Beibei was right in front of him.

Should he ask?

He would definitely die.

Li Hua smiled with relief, abandoning the suicidal thought. Taking a step back, the world opened up, and even the death star above his head stopped flickering.

The next second, Jiang Nian suddenly spoke.

“Huang Beibei, Li Hua is asking if you usually watch…”

“What the heck?!”

Li Hua was shocked and immediately ran away.

Explanation was redundant, words were pale. If he were thrown downstairs, he’d be in pieces. When in doubt, Han Tianzun was the answer, no need for more words.

“Why did he run away?” Yao Beibei looked puzzled.

“Frequent urination.”

“Oh.” Yao Beibei nodded. “What were you asking me just now?”

Ma Guojun’s breathing suddenly hitched. His gaze involuntarily turned to Jiang Nian, thinking, he wouldn’t just ask directly, would he? If so, he’d have to run too.

“Cough cough, I just remembered I haven’t finished my homework.”

He had just taken a step, but his physique limited his speed. He heard Jiang Nian already speaking, and his heart pounded rapidly, thinking, “It’s over.”

Come back, Li Hua, my proudest belief.

Let a Fellow Daoist die, not me.

“Asking if you usually watch movies or anything, do you have any new movie recommendations?” Jiang Nian’s expression was normal, without any extra suggestive color.

Yao Beibei paused for a moment. No new movies, but she did have other recommendations.

“I haven’t watched any recently, maybe they haven’t been released yet.”

The words didn’t quite fit, but it didn’t matter, the class bell rang.

The group tacitly ended their conversation and walked into the classroom.

The first two periods were Chinese class. If they didn’t want to be caught by Old Liu and lectured, it was best to enter the classroom early to avoid trouble.

Old Liu was a good person, but sometimes he was… incredibly cheap. The main reason might be that he didn’t rely on his salary to live, having no weaknesses at all.

The school leaders were also unlucky. They originally thought they had caught a golden Palu.

It turned out to be the tiger of the Chinese group, an ambitious, middle-ranking person who relied solely on his wife to support the family.

The bell stopped.

Li Hua was anxious in his seat. Before Old Liu arrived in the classroom, he lowered his voice and asked Jiang Nian, who was calm as ever beside him.

“What did Yao Beibei say?”

“Do you want to know the answer?” Jiang Nian turned his head, smiling mysteriously.

“Yes.”

“I’ve hidden the answer in the boundless sea. Go find it, young man.”

Hearing this, Li Hua was utterly speechless. Jiang Nian, this kind of riddle-teller, should be executed.

“Forget it if you’re not going to tell me.”

Hearing this, Jiang Nian’s lips curved slightly. He glanced at Li Hua, intending to tease him for a while.

Before one class was over, this person would be scratching his head, going to Ma Guojun to inquire.

Sure enough, after the first class, Li Hua went to find Ma Guojun.

Jiang Nian was extremely sleepy and just slept on his desk. He looked up and saw Zhang Ningzhi stealing a glance at him, then quickly turned her head away, no longer looking at him.

“Oh.”

The class bell rang, and Huang Fang looked up at the blackboard.

She didn’t really listen to Chinese class either. Sometimes during Chinese class, she would memorize vocabulary. Occasionally, she would secretly do other homework, but she did it very discreetly.

In the monotonous daily study life, the greatest fun was probably watching the comedians in their group. Those people might not have noble sentiments, but they definitely had something going on.

As soon as Old Liu came in, everyone stood up and sat down, followed by the students’ muscle memory-like response.

While sitting down, Zeng You touched his leg.

He was a typical heavy-duty ‘day-person,’ living one day at a time. He’d open a novel on his phone and just read, not feeling tired even when reading until dark.

Until Jiang Nian moved up a class, first Wu Jun’gu transferred into the dorm, and then Lin Dong switched over.

Slowly, he realized that the people around him were somewhat out of sync with himself.

Jiang Nian, needless to say, not only had a Young Miss from Nanjiang Bay as a deskmate, but Chen Yunyun would also chat with him for no reason, winning from head to toe.

Lin Dong was the math class representative, no need to say more. Wu Jun’gu had good looks and was clean. And he at least had a big-chested ex-girlfriend, which was truly enviable.

Slowly, like a corpse gaining a trace of Yang Qi, he still liked reading novels, but occasionally he would have thoughts of wanting to participate more in real life.

After two not-so-difficult Chinese classes, everyone in the classroom was about to go for a run, but they cheered when they saw Qianbao.

“Everyone’s back, Qianbao, my proudest belief!” A group of people in the class were being awkward, dragging their feet, unwilling to go for a run. Anyone who didn’t know would think they had overactive tear ducts, but in reality, they were waiting for Qianbao to pick people.

Who would want to go for a grueling run? Could it replenish their Qi?

Qianbao smiled as she looked around the classroom, her gaze finally settling on a few people.

“Class monitor, Jiang Nian, Liu Yang, come here for a moment.”

Everyone sighed and reluctantly started walking out.

Li Hua was so jealous he was twisting and crawling, his eyes glowing green.

“Why pick Jiang Nian?!”

Calling Liu Yang was understandable; organizing activities required someone to do heavy lifting. Liu Yang was tall and strong, making him perfect for the role of a giant porter.

The class monitor could operate the multimedia independently and knew more than the study committee member, Tao Ran.

But calling Jiang Nian, he couldn’t understand. Wasn’t this purely Qianbao’s personal preference? Like a sycophant by the emperor’s side, always kept close no matter what.

“Stop being crazy here, let’s go for a run.” Ma Guojun dragged him out.

Zhou Yuting happened to pass by. If she weren’t in the Olympiad class herself,

it would be hard to believe that those people, who looked like they dropped out of prenatal education, were actually top students with scores around six hundred. It was just too abstract.

Before leaving the classroom, she looked back at the acrylic display screen. It showed a ‘Mental Health Theme Class Meeting,’ which made her recall that QQ number.

—

Clown.

From being on edge to finally relaxing, it only took three or four short days.

It almost gave him a psychological shadow.

It should be fine now.

Jiang Nian stood next to Qianbao, like a top-tier minion.

Others only saw him being abstractly silly every day, twisting and crawling like a dark creature, peeping. Yet no one saw his deep devotion, his dedicated and hardworking side.

Others couldn’t see it because he hadn’t done it.

“Class monitor, do you need help turning it on?”

Li Qingrong nodded, “Mm.”

“Alright!”

Qianbao was a bit speechless and pulled Jiang Nian up.

“You still have to move things.”

“Huh? Can’t Liu Yang move them too?” Jiang Nian said something extremely shameless. “I figured the class monitor couldn’t handle it alone, so I’m helping out.”

Qianbao saw through him at a glance and said, exasperated,

“Li Qingrong can handle it alone. You’re just causing trouble here.”

“Forced conscription,” Jiang Nian grumbled.

If he couldn’t operate the multimedia hand-in-hand with the class monitor, he’d rather go for a run. At least he could chat with Li Hua and the others, or talk to Chen Yunyun.

On the stairs, sunlight streamed down.

“If you ask me, we’re still destined to be mules,” Liu Yang said casually, spouting some nonsense. “I just took a look, and it’s all snacks inside.”

“Are there jelly fruit pouches?” Jiang Nian asked.

He was also carrying a large box, which had some weight, likely containing various gifts and game props. Even more outrageous, he saw a whole case of Sprite.

Who could resist that? He’d have to dig through it thoroughly.

“No, how could they prepare such childish snacks?” Liu Yang looked puzzled, laughing loudly. “Qianbao is an adult, can she buy jelly?”

Jiang Nian’s expression was strange, thinking, “Old women actually like this stuff.”

Back in the classroom.

As Qianbao said, Li Qingrong completed all the multimedia processing work by herself. She even helped Qianbao decorate the classroom and put up some slogans.

People in the class hadn’t finished their run yet, and deafening music continuously echoed through the classroom broadcast.

Li Qingrong didn’t hear their footsteps. After putting up a slogan, she turned around and finally saw the two of them. She was slightly stunned for a moment, then walked towards them.

Liu Yang was a bit excited. Seeing the class monitor approaching, he couldn’t help but say,

“No need, no need, it’s not heavy.”

Li Qingrong passed by him, nodded sideways at his words.

“Mm.”

Then she walked past him and went straight to Jiang Nian, saying,

“Give it to me.”

Liu Yang turned around, a little unable to keep a straight face.

Am I not a human?

But then he thought, he had been an idiot just now, insisting it wasn’t heavy. Now look, the wind and snow pressed on him for two or three years, no, it pressed on him for five years in total.

Sometimes, pleasantries really shouldn’t be said carelessly.

When Li Qingrong opened the box, a strand of her dark hair fell, and her eyelashes trembled slightly. The two were very close; Jiang Nian could even smell the faint fragrance on the class monitor.

Golden sunlight streamed down from the corridor, covering half the classroom.

Just then, a gust of wind rushed in through the wide-open window, causing the books and test papers in half the classroom to rustle. Thin homework books fell to the floor, and several white test papers flew chaotically.

“Hey, where did this wind come from!” Liu Yang was warm-hearted, helping to pick up the test papers that had blown into the aisle.

Jiang Nian didn’t have time to respond. In front of him, a strand of Li Qingrong’s dark hair was blown by the strong wind. It floated forward, brushing against his cheek, and Li Qingrong couldn’t help but look up.

The distance between them was no more than two fists. They both looked up and met each other’s gaze.

Li Qingrong’s pupils were as dark as ink, her gaze deep. Her eyes were as clear as a stream, and it seemed as if she had many things she wanted to say, but swallowed them back.

By the time Jiang Nian came to his senses, the class monitor had already walked away.

Qianbao, with her arms crossed, leaned against the classroom door, bathed in the white-gold sunlight, her eyes narrowed in amusement.

“To be young is truly wonderful.”
