Chapter 280 Why does this person turn into a dog from time to time?

The empty classroom, on the podium.

Li Hua looked at Jiang Nian, who was also picking up a rag, with a surprised expression, his jaw almost dropping onto the multimedia projector.

No, buddy, are you trying to compete for dominance?

Is it that idiotic?

Clack, Li Hua grabbed the rag and questioned, “What the heck are you doing?”

Jiang Nian had no other hobbies; he just liked to create small obstacles for Li Hua.

“You don’t need to wipe the blackboard; go mop the floor outside.”

Li Hua gave up, “red stone, can’t you go mop the floor?”

“No way, it’s too cold outside.” Jiang Nian actually didn’t want to clean the whiteboard either; he was just looking for something to do.

In the end, Li Hua was the only one cleaning the whiteboard.

Jiang Nian lay on the desk catching up on sleep and didn’t go mop the floor. It was too early; no one had arrived yet, and with people coming and going, mopping would be pointless.

He closed his eyes, planning to wake up closer to morning reading time.

Zhang Ningzhi was in a good mood; the cushion she bought online would probably arrive in the afternoon. What she was looking forward to wasn’t the cushion itself, but the process of picking up the package together.

She entered the classroom and glanced around; Jiang Nian was sprawled in the back row.

Does he wake up early every day just to come to the classroom and catch up on sleep?

That’s too boring; it can only really affect a small number of people. But thinking about Jiang Nian’s background, his actions weren’t surprising.

By the time Zhang Ningzhi walked over, Jiang Nian was almost awake. They greeted each other and then simultaneously began tidying their desks and taking out their books for morning reading.

Jiang Nian didn’t do morning reading; he had already memorized everything.

So he pulled out a comprehensive science test paper to refine it further. There was another six-city joint exam in two weeks, and his goal was to break into the 600-point mark.

To be honest, there was still room for improvement.

The main thing was that he didn’t want to be looked down upon by Xu Qianqian; it was normal not to score higher than her. Being constantly suppressed wasn’t bad, but occasionally he wanted to try to turn the tables.

Zhang Ningzhi took out her essential Materials for Gaokao Chinese, mentioning as if casually, “The package seems to be arriving today.”

“Hmm?” Jiang Nian turned his head.

The temperature had dropped sharply in recent days, and few students in the class were wearing school uniforms. Everyone was wearing jackets of moderate thickness; winter had already begun to show its signs.

Outside the window was a milky white mist, with faint golden sunlight subtly seeping through.

Zhang Ningzhi was wearing a loose, beige sweater today, looking small in the corner, with a high ponytail and a fair neck.

He couldn’t help but look at her a couple more times, always feeling that Zhang Ningzhi’s wardrobe must be quite large.

Could he hide himself in it?

Jiang Nian was still thinking about some boring things, like his own wardrobe. Damn, he didn’t seem to have a wardrobe; Xu Qianqian, however, had a large one.

Damn, a family of three, and he was the outsider.

Or, “What a coincidence, guest, you’re also surnamed Jiang?”

However, this phenomenon improved after his grades made rapid progress.

Jiang Nian felt that his parents must love him.

Otherwise, in the System’s unexperienced memory of his twenty-eighth birthday, how could his parents have revealed a family fortune of two million?

Regardless of whether it was borrowed, being able to borrow that much money was a skill.

So, compared to Zhang Ningzhi?

Forget it, comparison is not a good habit.

Cai Xiaoqing counted the students and found that two were absent. It was quite normal for day students to take leave or be late, but one male boarding student hadn’t arrived.

Since it was morning self-study, she couldn’t ask Old Liu. So she asked his roommate, but his roommate also had no clue.

“That’s strange,” Cai Xiaoqing murmured to herself.

Suddenly, she felt her back being poked and instinctively turned around.

Jiang Nian stood behind her, directly pulling out his phone. The screen showed a photo from a car window, clearly the edge of the county town.

“He took leave to go home; he should be almost ready to eat now.”

Cai Xiaoqing: “…”

Jiang Nian returned to his seat but heard Li Hua sighing, “I want to take leave too.”

He thought for a moment and said, “You can give all your pocket money to me, then starve for two days and pretend you can’t speak. Drink some water to fill your stomach; you’ll probably get a long leave.”

Li Hua was furious, “That’s not being sick; that’s being dead!”

Zeng You, in the front row, turned around and said with a laugh, “What’s the point of taking leave? You’ll just be at home playing on your phone and reading novels anyway. Since you’re going to play, it’s better to be in the classroom; it has more atmosphere.”

“Watch out, Old Liu might check on you,” Wu Jun reminded.

“Bring it on. Old Liu might be a giant in teaching, but when it comes to playing on his phone, he’s as green as a rookie,” Zeng You leaned back strategically.

“I’ve hidden my phone from junior high until senior year, changed phones, but never had one confiscated.”

The morning classes mainly focused on going over the weekly test papers, starting with two consecutive math periods.

First thing in the morning, such an intense start.

Jiang Nian was in agony during the class, but he could only force himself to stay alert and listen. If he didn’t understand something, he marked it down, planning to ask Zhang Ningzhi later.

As for why he didn’t ask Li Hua, it was because he was a pervert.

He had no other hobbies; he just liked to get close to young girls to ask questions. Their skin was as white as ice cream, pleasing to the eye, and he wanted to lick it.

The morning passed quickly.

Zhang Ningzhi found out the package wouldn’t arrive until the afternoon and couldn’t help but feel a little down. But there was nothing she could do, so she could only pack her bag and go home for lunch.

After Jiang Nian finished eating and returned, he habitually stood by the corridor railing outside the classroom for a while.

For no other reason, he just loved to feel the breeze.

In the distance, the mist outside Qingmu Ridge had completely dispersed, and large exposed rock outlines could be seen.

Jiang Nian suddenly remembered what Le Zhi had said to him during a casual chat.

Winter, actually, is also quite suitable for climbing mountains.

After all, holding hands in summer can easily lead to sweating, and it gets too hot after a short while. But winter is different; soft little hands can be held all day.

That damn Le Zhi said this when he was in junior high, and he hadn’t broken up with his ex-girlfriend yet. He said it to Jiang Nian, almost showing off.

Footsteps sounded, then bounced next to him.

“Hey!”

“What are you looking at?” Chen Yunyun, wearing a light-colored knitted cardigan, stopped beside him and added, “It’s sunny today.”

Jiang Nian turned to look at her and nodded, “Yes, but it’s a pity it doesn’t reach here.”

“You can go downstairs, or…” She pointed upwards, saying mysteriously, “The rooftop of the political education building, I heard it’s unlocked.”

“That’s fake, isn’t it? Wouldn’t it be full of couples then?” Jiang Nian was a little taken aback.

“I don’t know, but there are a lot of couples sunbathing on the lawn downstairs.” Chen Yunyun didn’t seem to care much. “By the way, have you ever walked around on the lawn?”

Jiang Nian hadn’t paid attention when he went upstairs, but he was too lazy to go downstairs now.

“No, as a dark creature, I prefer dark corners.”

Chen Yunyun smiled and didn’t leave. She stood with him in the slightly cool corridor, chatting casually.

“Have you climbed that mountain?”

Jiang Nian felt nothing for Qingmu Ridge, but vaguely felt that Chen Yunyun should have climbed it too.

“Didn’t you climb it in your first year of high school?”

Logically, with her outgoing personality, she should have gone to Qingmu Ridge with her roommates in her first year of high school, as there weren’t many attractions around here.

Chen Yunyun said, “We went with my dorm in first year, but it started raining halfway. We didn’t bring umbrellas, so we were afraid of heavy rain and went back.”

“Didn’t you go again later?”

“We were split into arts and science classes.”

“Oh.”

After a while, Jiang Nian proactively asked, “Do you really want to go?”

Chen Yunyun was a little embarrassed. She naturally wouldn’t admit she “really wanted” to go, subconsciously being stubborn.

“Just so-so.”

“Oh, I see.” Jiang Nian habitually cast his hook, turned and walked towards the end of the corridor, muttering to himself, “I was going to ask if you wanted to go…”

Chen Yunyun, standing in the corridor, froze, opening her mouth but making no sound.

She thought to herself, why does this person act like a dog from time to time?

However, a maiden has her dignity and wouldn’t chase after him to go back on her word. She just watched someone head towards the restroom, biting her lower lip.

Her chest rose and fell for a moment before she calmed down and turned to enter the classroom.

A gentleman’s revenge is always delayed.

Jiang Nian came out after using the restroom and washed his hands.

Splash, the cold water that had settled in the upstairs water tower overnight poured onto his hands, and he instantly recoiled.

“Damn, it’s so cold.”

After washing his hands, he turned around and caught Wang Yuhe, who was carrying a bag of snacks, going upstairs in the stairwell.

“Wait.”

Counting on his fingers, it was Tuesday today, not their hair-washing day.

Wang Yuhe probably came with Chen Yunyun; one went to buy snacks, the other planned to return to the classroom, which is why they were going upstairs one after the other.

“What do you want?”

She turned and saw Jiang Nian, immediately looking like she was facing a great enemy.

“Don’t come any closer!”

Jiang Nian was speechless, thinking that Wang Yuhe was almost 1.7 meters tall. She was acting like a primary school student. Was he the kind of person who coveted snacks?

“No, what kind of person do you take me for?”

Hearing this, Wang Yuhe’s face showed hesitation.

“Can I trust you?”

“You can,” Jiang Nian smiled gently.

He thought to himself, his mother, Li Hongmei, was a well-known honest person far and wide. Wang Yuhe could certainly trust his mother, but he himself had no manners.

“Oh, these are the snacks I bought; Chen Yunyun also gets some.” Wang Yuhe hesitated for a while longer, remembering that Jiang Nian had shared his food with her before.

So, she opened the bag and said to Jiang Nian, “Pick one.”

“Alright, I didn’t expect you to be so generous.” Jiang Nian casually praised her, leaned over to take a look, and found that they were mostly small snacks like duck necks.

And surprisingly, Wang Yuhe was quite rich.

Wang Yuhe was a little embarrassed by the praise, but she was indeed not stingy with others. However, if she was holding food in her hand, she wouldn’t give it to others.

If it was in the bag, then it didn’t matter.

She thought for a moment and said, “You can take two bags.”

The next second, she saw Jiang Nian insert both hands into the bag. With a light scoop, only two bags were left in the bag, and she was instantly stunned.

Huh?

Jiang Nian had already run off, cradling a pile of snacks in his arms.

The sunlight struggled to climb to the fourth floor, hitting exactly at Wang Yuhe’s feet in the corridor. She looked down at the snacks in the bag, then looked again.

She couldn’t help but wipe away tears.

When she entered the classroom, she found the pile of snacks lying on her desk.

Suddenly, tears were still welling up in her eyes, and she didn’t know whether to let them fall or not.

Chen Yunyun was standing by the window, writing problems and practicing her posture. She turned around and saw Wang Yuhe’s appearance, immediately knowing what had happened.

She was both amused and exasperated; these two really…

Lunch break.

Jiang Nian still diligently did his problems, then lay on his desk for a nap at the appointed time.

Without accumulation of small steps, one cannot reach a thousand li.

Only by building a foundation bit by bit can one be a little freer in the Gaokao examination hall. However, his definition of freedom had changed from a guaranteed first-tier university to a guaranteed 985 university.

The grades of those around him influenced his own grades.

Freedom meant going to a similar university as his friends. Also, a side note, Le Zhi was no longer his good friend; low-scoring guys still needed to mature.

At two in the afternoon, the lunch break bell rang.

Yu Tongjie walked into the school with the crowd, his expression somewhat unpleasant. It was his first time collecting money, and it was so unlucky; his money had come back.

What about changing groups?

A pipe dream.

He’d been having such bad luck lately; not a single thing had gone his way. He felt like life had violated him countless times, and waking up every day was painful.

Pfft, he spat a mouthful of saliva by the roadside.

It had streaks of blood.

He couldn’t help but feel a little desperate; when would this life end?

As soon as he went upstairs, he was bumped into.

“Sorry.” Sun Zhicheng felt like he had bumped into something. He turned around and found it was someone from his class. “Ah, it’s you. My bad.”

Yu Tongjie grunted, ignoring him.

Sun Zhicheng wasn’t annoyed; he didn’t get angry with idiots. He had been chatting with a sweet girl recently and was feeling sweet every day.
