Chapter 261 I’m dizzy, is this still Chinese?

Jiang Nian wanted to ask Ma Guojun what exactly had happened.

Oh no, whose Rider Belt just rang?

He entered the classroom through the back door, but Ma Guojun was a bit far, so he was too lazy to ask.

Passing by Zhang Ningzhi’s seat, he simply pulled a candy from his pocket. Smoked mid. No, sugared mid, to buy off Prime Minister Cai and consolidate their friendship.

Plop, a candy was tossed over.

Hold on a bit, Casanova. In fact, Jiang Nian went downstairs and bought a pack of fruit hard candies. Eating too many would make one fat, but one or two were fine.

This was a collective welfare distribution.

Zhang Ningzhi was engrossed in her homework, having just experienced an unwarranted disaster. It wasn’t exactly an argument, and as a veteran cadre of Class Three, she wouldn’t be reduced to tears.

It was just that the surrounding low pressure was inevitable, and a cloud of bad mood hung over her.

With a ‘pa’ sound, Zhang Ningzhi hadn’t even had time to look up. She saw a candy land precisely on her desk, rolling ‘guruluru’ into the palm of her right hand, which was holding a pen and slightly raised.

It only stopped when it hit the hypothenar eminence of her right hand, which was resting on the desk.

Zhang Ningzhi realized it was a candy and her eyelids twitched. Looking up, she caught a glimpse of Jiang Nian walking down the aisle, and her heart began to thump.

Bribery?

If someone saw this, wouldn’t it confirm her partiality?

In reality, it wasn’t.

Managing a class wasn’t like hosting a dinner party; if she was polite to everyone, she wouldn’t be able to manage anything in the class.

So, anyone could go to the restroom on the pretext of self-study. After all, it was human nature. As for whether they actually went to the restroom, that was none of her business.

People would always assess risks. If an honest person like Luo Zhongping said he was going to the restroom, she would just nod and agree, because he didn’t lie.

If Yu Tongjie wanted to go out, she would just go. Nodding was out of the question.

When Jiang Nian went out, she didn’t nod either.

It was only because they had some private interactions that she merely uttered an ‘oh’. However, this impartial matter was broken by his ‘guruluru’ candy.

Jiang Nian really was…

Did he want to destroy the Foundation of Class Three?!

However, she merely tilted her hand downwards and secretly covered the candy. It was like extinguishing an alcohol lamp in a chemistry lab, cutting off the oxygen needed for the flame to burn.

The flame of Class Three’s crumbling order was also silently resolved in this quiet covering.

Yu Tongjie felt a little uncomfortable, not because he was afraid of Jiang Nian.

It was just that they were both local natives, and they had had conflicts before, so there was a certain degree of apprehension.

He thought, Zhang Ningzhi and Jiang Nian had no relationship whatsoever. If he and Zhang Ningzhi argued a few words, Jiang Nian wouldn’t be so nosy as to seek revenge on him, would he?

Moreover, the third and fourth evening self-study sessions were consecutive, with no break in between.

It shouldn’t be, right?

It should be.

Just as Yu Tongjie was feeling uneasy, Jiang Nian had already walked to the sixth group.

He clapped Li Hua on the shoulder and raised an eyebrow, saying,

“Your dad is back.”

“Damn it, you left early and missed a good show.” Li Hua offered his seat, his tone quite displeased, “Just now, I didn’t know, Yu Tongjie…”

A minute later, Jiang Nian, who understood the whole story, raised an eyebrow.

He thought, is Squirtle such an idiot?

What for?

Of all people to offend, he had to offend Zhang Ningzhi. He was beyond saving.

Jiang Nian had no opinion on this. Yu Tongjie was asking for trouble. Arguing with Zhang Ningzhi felt good for a moment, but he’d be in trouble when he couldn’t get leave later.

“It’s a shame you missed it, otherwise you could have cursed a few times.” Li Hua shook his head, “He’s really a fucking weirdo, these Heaven-Defying things are becoming less and less human.”

“Who cares, we’ll talk about it later.” Jiang Nian didn’t pay much attention, flicking a candy to Li Hua, “Eat something good, your dad is about to start doing problems.”

Jiang Nian quieted down for a while, pretending to do problems.

Li Hua was full of suspicion, looking around in all directions.

He wondered if Old Liu had arrived, and where he was hiding. He couldn’t find him for a while, and finally just gave up.

Zhang Ningzhi took the opportunity to turn a page and secretly glanced at Jiang Nian.

Aren’t you giving me candy?

Fine, don’t even think about drinking my drinks ever again!

However, ten minutes passed, and Jiang Nian still showed no sign of movement.

Zhang Ningzhi was really getting angry, but she could only write her homework indignantly. Her pen tip forcefully drew circles on the paper, as if venting, pressing through the paper.

Suddenly, she felt someone poke her arm.

She instinctively turned her head, somewhat angrily, and said,

“What do you want!”

“Look down.” Jiang Nian said something rather Heaven-Defying.

However, given his character, Zhang Ningzhi didn’t think much of it. She looked down and saw a hand suspended under the desk, opening to reveal a whole palm full of candies.

Classic White Rabbit packaging. Regardless of whether this stuff made you fat or not, a handful of candies at least provided enough visual impact.

Zhang Ningzhi’s expression immediately turned to surprise, her happiness evident.

It wasn’t that she had never seen candy before, but the surprise came from exceeding her psychological expectations. After all, Li Hua only got one candy, and she thought she should get two.

But… what was presented before her was a large handful, perhaps even all of them.

There’s no surprise without comparison; Li Hua was the ruler, measuring the sweetness behind the quantity of candies. The subtext was: Zhizhi = countless Li Huas.

Zhang Ningzhi pursed her lips, put down her pen, and with her fair hands, accepted the large handful of candies.

It perfectly filled her cupped hands.

In a much-improved mood, she put the candies into her desk.

Although she really wanted to put them in her schoolbag and take them home, she didn’t want to show it openly. Because it was a bit… intuitive, she just felt she shouldn’t appear too concerned.

She was just putting them in her desk for now, a perfectly ordinary treatment.

After doing all that, she asked shyly,

“You just went out to buy this, right?”

In fact, Jiang Nian bought the candies after he had ‘released water’ and made a detour.

It could be explained as ‘releasing water’ and then conveniently buying candies. Or, conversely, that he specifically went to buy candies and then ‘released water’ along the way.

But no matter how the order was rearranged, it didn’t change the fact that he bought candies and gave almost all of them to her.

As long as it wasn’t: “Because class ended, everyone was busy ‘releasing water’ and resting, while he was busy chatting with the class monitor, thus missing the opportunity to ‘release water’.”

Then it was OK, minor flaws don’t affect the big picture.

“Yes, what else would it be for?” Jiang Nian said, his face not red and his heart not pounding, continuing to provide emotional value, “I didn’t want to give it to Li Hua, but he insisted.”

Zhang Ningzhi also smiled, trying hard to keep a straight face, and whispered,

“Get it back.”

Li Hua couldn’t stand it, tore open the candy wrapper, and gulped it down.

“You two idiots.”

Zeng You looked up from his seat, closed his eyes, and tilted his head back, letting his dry eyes rest for a while.

The classroom was noisy, and he found it boring.

He had just finished a horror novel. The beginning was captivating, but unfortunately, the protagonist was a spineless simp and an idiot who couldn’t walk the Dao when he saw women.

His grandfather had warned him not to leave his room no matter what happened after midnight, and what to do if he saw… everything in meticulous detail.

That damn protagonist completely forgot about it.

It made his blood pressure rise. The plot was good, but the protagonist was a bit ridiculous. He always made plans but never accomplished anything, messing everything up.

While Zeng You sighed, he turned to look at the three people in the back row. He first checked if the teacher was at the back door, and then his gaze swept over Li Hua and the others.

“Jiang Nian, when you passed the office, did you see Old Liu?”

“He’s not there, he should have gone home.” Jiang Nian replied.

“Then where is Ji Ming?”

Jiang Nian couldn’t hold back, “Damn it, do you think I’m a river crab, that I can see everything?”

Hearing this, Zeng You didn’t care, and after a moment of thought, said,

“Tomorrow is Sunday, which is basically a holiday. I might as well stay until evening self-study ends, and then I can pull an all-nighter and catch up on sleep tomorrow morning.”

His deskmate, Wu Jungu, was slightly surprised and couldn’t help but ask,

“Then what will you do with your holiday tomorrow afternoon?”

“Sleep in the dorm.”

Wu Jungu: “.”

“Market stuff, no atmosphere for reading novels in the classroom, right?” Li Hua also found it a bit hard to bear.

But then he thought, a group member like Zeng You was actually pretty good. He paid no attention to what was happening around him, only focused on studying, reaching the highest Realm of being content with his lot.

Whether lying flat or slacking off, at least he would cooperate when something happened.

Unlike that idiot Yu Tongjie, a complete moron.

The leader of his group was truly unlucky to have such a ‘living dad’.

Hu Nianzhong received a note from Yu Tongjie, and the people around them all glanced over.

In broad daylight, two boys were passing notes.

Ew!

Nie Qiqi, like a mouse, hid under a tall stack of books, secretly peeking at Hu Nianzhong in front.

She wanted to ship some gay romance, but when she thought of Yu Tongjie’s appearance, she suddenly felt mentally impotent.

“How did they get mixed up?” She lowered her voice and whispered, “Could it be a secret liaison, and their emotions burst forth during evening self-study?”

Hu Nianzhong in the front row found it a bit hard to bear. Were those words Nie Qiqi said even Chinese?

He felt his vision go black after hearing her, almost fainting.

Damn it, sometimes he really wished he didn’t have ears.

What did’secret liaison’ mean?

Although he and Yu Tongjie indeed had a transaction, it was purely a monetary one.

Nor was it an emotional outburst.

It was purely because he had been breaking promises, and the client was getting a bit angry. Last time, Yu Tongjie questioned why he didn’t reply to messages, and he used the excuse that his phone was broken.

He guessed the client was a bit anxious, which was why he directly passed a note.

Forget it, he wouldn’t pay attention to gossip.

How could a man’s path forward be without wind and rain? Just put it behind you.

He opened the note and took a look. Yu Tongjie had angrily written a paragraph, the gist of which was accusing him of being untrustworthy and constantly delaying promised matters.

Hu Nianzhong thought for a moment and replied with a sentence.

“I will talk to the homeroom teacher about changing groups tomorrow, and I will definitely get it done.”

Then, he had someone pass the note back.

Would he really do it?

Of course not. His style was to take money and not do things, to be corrupt but not sell out his group. Tomorrow was the weekend, damn it, he could just make up any excuse to get by.

What about the Acquired day?

He would do a little bit first, making it seem like progress was being made. Then, it would take a sharp turn for the worse, with excuses and refunds, eventually returning the money. His side would also be almost done.

The last evening self-study session.

Sun Zhicheng was somewhat unable to suppress his inner anxiety, constantly checking his watch.

He thought, there are only twenty minutes left until class ends, why hasn’t Brother Dong passed on any real skills yet?
