Chapter 249 Li Qingrong: It was changed yesterday too.

While the boy was bragging, he was also secretly observing Zhang Ningzhi.

Besides finding Zhang Ningzhi’s appearance impeccable, what was even more striking was her rigid expression.

His topic didn’t seem to ignite any enthusiasm for conversation in her.

Part of the reason was that it was a chance encounter, and he didn’t have time to prepare. Another part was because he knew very little about Zhang Ningzhi to begin with.

Other than knowing she was wealthy, beautiful, had good grades, and a quiet personality, he knew nothing else.

He didn’t know what she liked, what she disliked, which celebrities she followed, or what music she listened to on her headphones.

Just as he was about to get straight to the point and ask her to accept his friend request, a hand, without warning, grabbed Zhang Ningzhi’s wrist with a ‘thwack’.

The movement was swift and decisive, without any hesitation, yet it also seemed a bit sharp.

The boy froze, turning his head to look.

He saw another tall boy standing there, who, with a gentle pull, drew Zhang Ningzhi over.

He glanced at him, his eyes unkind.

“He’s your classmate?”

Zhang Ningzhi looked up, saw that the person who came was Jiang Nian, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

“Mm.”

“Hello, classmate, you should communicate more,” Jiang Nian said, but then directly pulled Zhang Ningzhi away. “However, Li Hua is dying, go back and see him.”

“Let’s communicate another time, Li Hua is hanging on by a thread. Our group isn’t complete, and he can’t close his eyes. Let’s go, let’s go, the deceased is of utmost importance.”

The boy stood frozen in place, watching them leave.

As evening self-study approached, the campus roads were filled with students hurrying along.

At the entrance of the cafeteria, on the basketball court, a few groups of people were still playing basketball in the dark.

The first-year teaching building was brightly lit, but it couldn’t penetrate the gloom in his heart.

They left?

He was just cut off so easily?

The group leader is dying? That reason is too ridiculous!

Even a more serious reason, like a teacher looking for Zhang Ningzhi, would have been acceptable.

The other party did it on purpose.

On the other side.

Jiang Nian pulled Zhang Ningzhi for about ten meters before gently letting go of her wrist.

“Who was that to you?”

Zhang Ningzhi wasn’t sure, she seemed to detect a hint of jealousy.

“Do you really want to know?”

“Do you want to hear the truth?” Jiang Nian smiled.

“No.”

Zhang Ningzhi knew too well the power of a certain person’s sharp tongue; if she wasn’t confident she could win, she wouldn’t fight.

To avoid getting so angry her chest hurt again, she voluntarily explained.

“A classmate from my previous class, named Du Jiaming.”

“Oh, I know, Xiaoming,” Jiang Nian interjected. “In elementary school, we often did math problems: Xiaoming has five apples, how can he divide them equally among four people?”

Hearing this, Zhang Ningzhi was also led astray by him and asked curiously.

“Five apples for four people, how do you divide them?”

“Back then, Xiaoming kept one for himself, and the others were given to four people.”

Saying that, Jiang Nian took the opportunity to hand her the green apple pulp milk from his jacket pocket.

“Here, for you.”

“Oh, oh, thank you.” Zhang Ningzhi took it in a daze, wanting to continue the topic of her former classmate, but found she couldn’t.

She looked down at the pulp milk, feeling a little hesitant.

She wondered if he really didn’t want to know, if his truth was that he didn’t care?

Did he really not care?

Thinking this, Zhang Ningzhi walked on in silence.

She only looked up to find herself at the bottom of the third-year building, watching Jiang Nian about to step from darkness into light.

“Wait!”

She subconsciously called out, but didn’t actually know what to say next.

“Hm?” Jiang Nian stopped. He was at the edge of the steps, next to a white drainpipe, and turned to ask, “What’s wrong?”

Zhang Ningzhi wanted to ask him why he was there, but her brain almost immediately deduced his logical reasoning.

He would definitely say, “Did I ruin your peach blossom luck?”

This person was too annoying; he could just blurt out such aggressive words.

She couldn’t ask that way.

She thought for a moment and could only change to a relatively softer way of asking.

“Did you specifically go to buy pulp milk and then run into me on the way?”

Jiang Nian said “Ah” and rubbed his neck.

“Something like that. I ran into an acquaintance during dinner this afternoon and forgot to buy it. I remembered when I got back to the classroom, then went downstairs to buy it and ran into your rotten peach blossom.”

Zhang Ningzhi’s chest tightened; this person was really too annoying.

“What rotten peach blossom!”

“A good peach blossom?” Jiang Nian was surprised.

“It’s not at all, just a classmate I wasn’t familiar with before!” Zhang Ningzhi was about to be angered to death by him; this person was always petty and held grudges.

If Jiang Nian took a step forward, retorted a sentence, or said something sharp, he would break the boundary between them with a single word, interfering with the other’s freedom.

It had the taste of a caged bird, Hyuga Ningzhi.

However, Jiang Nian just said “Oh” and, after a moment of thought, asked.

“Am I familiar with you?”

Zhang Ningzhi snorted, returning to her proud little princess demeanor.

“I don’t know.”

Saying that, she squeezed past Jiang Nian and walked upstairs in silence, minding her own business.

People are still different.

Zhang Ningzhi had always been a bit slow, but only towards people who didn’t matter.

Because studying was exhausting, if she had to spread her energy, it would be difficult to break out of a parallel class. Turning off some functions and blocking out some people allowed her to concentrate on her studies.

Facts proved that her method was effective.

It’s just that after being promoted, this method failed countless times.

There were always some people she couldn’t ignore.

Jiang Nian returned to class and first gave Li Hua a chokehold.

“You’re the one called Reiner, aren’t you?”

“Akashi!” Li Hua resisted, then said, “Have you heard? There’s another test tonight, damn it.”

“What are we testing?”

“English.”

“Oh, what does that have to do with me?” Jiang Nian immediately lost interest when he heard English, he would just finish it quickly anyway. “Wait, why are you asking me?”

“Let’s discuss, help me write an essay, will you?” Li Hua said with a fawning expression.

“It’ll be obvious.”

“You’re right, I’m done for.” Li Hua looked dejected, slumping back into his seat. “I really don’t want to write English. Is there any way to improve quickly?”

Hearing this, Jiang Nian glanced at Li Hua.

Last time, Li Hua shared his little story about the “white moonlight” with him, and Li Hua was excited at the time.

As a result, Jiang Nian didn’t say some things, like how love doesn’t expire.

But there was no need to say it; the point was that there were indeed many ways to memorize words.

Ahem, besides cheating.

Although Jiang Nian’s English scores improved due to cheating, the subsequent practice and problem-solving were all done by himself, and vocabulary couldn’t represent everything.

He was essentially working backward, inferring some experience in memorizing words.

“There really is.”

“Godfather, elaborate.” Li Hua rolled his homework book into a microphone and held it to Jiang Nian’s mouth. “My future debauched… oh no, happy life depends on you.”

Jiang Nian didn’t pay too much attention to the details and brought over the 3500 essential words for the college entrance exam.

“There are two methods: one is to cram.”

“Excluded.” Li Hua didn’t hesitate.

“The other is a three-step process: filter and organize words.” Jiang Nian said, “That is, organize the things you need to memorize, or you can directly buy someone else’s organized list.”

“Anyway, you don’t know many words, so this isn’t a problem.”

“The second step is to memorize them using various roots, suffixes, prefixes, or phrases, abstract methods. The third step is review, which is usually only useful when doing exercises or when the memory is deeply ingrained.”

Li Hua understood the first two steps. After all, Xi Bao often tutored Li Hua in class and after school, and had talked about tips for memorizing words.

Things like doing practice problems, returning to textbook units, five-minute forgetting points. Or memorizing words on A4 paper, small cards, sticky notes.

The principle was simple, but doing it was very difficult.

But the “deeply ingrained memory” Jiang Nian had just mentioned was a completely new version he hadn’t heard of.

Li Hua twitched his eyebrows and asked.

“How does one make a memory deeply ingrained?”

Jiang Nian smiled contemptuously and began to chant magic.

“That loli you like doesn’t like you at all, Hua, you’re too damn abstract. She just sees you as a friend; goddesses generally like gentle, warm men.”

“You motherfucker!!” Li Hua got anxious.

“Hey, I know you’re anxious, but don’t be anxious yet.” Jiang Nian stopped him. The evening reading was noisy, so he raised his voice a bit and said loudly.

“Goddess, lady, like, like, combined is ladylike, gentle, graceful.”

“Did you remember it, Hua?”

Li Hua was stunned, “Holy crap, you just stabbed me in the lung, how could I not remember it?”

“There you have it, deeply ingrained memory, right?” Jiang Nian snapped his fingers. “You’re discharged, you’re saved.”

Honestly, Li Hua had never been so speechless.

“I really want a pair of ears that haven’t heard that before. Where’s my knife?”

After evening reading, an English test was indeed conducted.

The test papers rustled down, and Li Hua felt a bit emo.

Jiang Nian acted as if nothing had happened, even a little smug, feeling he had performed a miraculous recovery.

If nothing unexpected happened, Hua Zi would never forget this word in his life.

Ah, it would even be useful for the CET-4 and CET-6 exams.

If your friend Li Hua loses in a global election, please write a letter to comfort him.

Just apply it, isn’t “ladylike” a ready-made powerful phrase?

Chinese cuisine, can’t write “dao xiao mian,” then “Ladylike noodles.”

Who cares, just apply it and it’s done.

After the first evening self-study session, Jiang Nian finished his English test early.

He went out of the classroom to relieve himself and met the class monitor on his way back to the classroom. Seeing that she was about to go downstairs, he couldn’t help but feel a little curious.

“Where are you going, Class Monitor?”

Li Qingrong stopped and turned her head to say.

“To move comprehensive science test papers.”

“Is that so? Then I’ll go too.” Jiang Nian didn’t ask if she needed help; asking would be pointless anyway. “Hey, why aren’t Tao Ran and the others going to get them?”

Li Qingrong walked down the stairs alongside him, her eyes flickering slightly.

“They haven’t finished their test.”

Jiang Nian, thinking of the English scores of those class representatives, also realized.

This paper had to be handed in for grading, so it was indeed inconvenient to leave without finishing it.

It didn’t matter for the Class Monitor and him; they had both finished anyway.

“I see, then I should definitely go.” Jiang Nian was happy to stick close to the Class Monitor, literally. “Class Monitor, you changed your hair tie today, didn’t you?”

What he actually wanted to say was, “Class Monitor, you smell so good.”

But saying that would make him seem like a pervert. He decided to observe first, lest the Class Monitor be disgusted.

With their long legs, they reached the second floor in the blink of an eye.

In the dim corridor, Li Qingrong looked back at him and said faintly.

“I changed it yesterday too.”
