Chapter 301 Zhizhi’s Bread

In winter, days are short and nights are long.

The afternoon turned dark early, and in the dim twilight, Zhou Yuting displayed a smile that could stop the sunset, instantly mesmerizing the four boys.

“Thanks, but A is fine. It’s the end of the month, and everyone’s a bit low on pocket money.”

At that moment, Sun Zhicheng’s heart trembled.

How could such a considerate and kind girl exist in this world, and he hadn’t noticed? His eyes immediately filled with admiration, and his smile became a little dazed.

“Heh heh, alright.”

Yang Qiming felt somewhat wronged, but he was not a person with courage but no strategy.

He knew that he had lost the upper hand today, and saying more would only lead to Sun Dog bringing up his ex-girlfriend again. So he could only endure, to seek revenge another day!

He waved to Huang Cailang, lowering his voice.

“Let’s go!”

Sun Zhicheng instantly puffed up like a victorious rooster, proudly raising his head.

Where did this stray dog come from! How dare he try to bite me?

At the same time, he was glad he had accurately struck his Achilles’ heel. As long as that weakness remained, Yang Qiming would always be the Crown Prince, and he would never be able to turn things around. Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth subtly curved upwards, and he turned to say,

“Let’s go, two beauties.”

The car quickly pulled up to the school gate, and with a few thuds, the doors closed.

Since Zhou Yuting got car sick, Yu Zhiyi gave up the front passenger seat to Zhou Yuting. She sat in the back with Sun Zhicheng and Lin Dong.

The driver was also quite casual; after asking for the address once, he was ready to drive off.

Sun Zhicheng noticed that Zhou Yuting hadn’t fastened her seatbelt yet and immediately became alert. It was too dangerous for the front passenger not to wear a seatbelt, and they would get fined if caught.

At the same time, he also realized this was an opportunity to show off in front of the girls.

“Zhou Yuting.”

“What is it?” Zhou Yuting was just about to fasten her seatbelt but answered first.

“Ha, nothing, just reminding you.” Sun Zhicheng got excited and misspoke, “You should wear a condom when taking a car!”

As his words fell, the entire car fell silent.

“Ah?” Zhou Yuting’s expression was incredibly awkward.

The driver let out a chuckle and teased,

“Young man, you’ve got quite the Life Qi, huh.”

What Life Qi! My mouth slipped!

Sun Zhicheng immediately turned red, nervously repeating,

“No, I mean… wear a seatbelt. Ptooie, ptooie, ptooie!!! I mean fasten your condom, ptooie, ptooie… I didn’t mean it like that.”

Zhou Yuting clicked her seatbelt into place with a snap, and all three were sweating awkward little yellow beans.

“I understand, I understand, ha.”

Sun Zhicheng fell silent, looking out the window, something inside him quietly shattering.

When Zhang Ningzhi left the classroom in the afternoon, Jiang Nian was writing a biology test. When she returned, she found Jiang Nian still writing a biology test at his desk.

She suspected that he hadn’t moved at all, feeling surprised.

“You didn’t go eat?”

Jiang Nian rubbed his face, looking listless.

“Not hungry.”

He had pulled an all-nighter that afternoon, enduring two consecutive physics classes.

In an extremely excited state of mind, he finished three test papers in one go.

Now he was almost exhausted but still trying to hold on.

Although Qingbao said he only needed to finish these extra exercises by next Wednesday, Jiang Nian figured he would complete all the test papers before Sunday.

There was no biology class in their class that day, but the class next door had biology.

Next week, he had other things to do.

This meant he had to finish eight basic test papers in the two days of today and tomorrow, and this didn’t even include the papers given out normally every day.

For a normal person, this would be an impossible task.

For Jiang Nian, it was just a bit more work.

“Why are you always writing test papers, not even eating?” Zhang Ningzhi’s tone was displeased. She pulled out two small packs of bread and a box of milk from her backpack.

She gently placed them on the corner of Jiang Nian’s desk, pushing them forward with her five fingers grouped together.

“I saved these for when I got hungry, you can have them all.”

Jiang Nian lay on his desk, glanced at Zhang Ningzhi, and asked,

“What if I don’t like bread?”

“Huh?” Zhizhi immediately became nervous, pursed her lips, and cautiously asked, “Then… you don’t like bread?”

“I like it.”

Zhang Ningzhi: “.

This person is truly boundless in his mischievousness; she should have known better than to bother with him.

Jiang Nian had originally planned to text Chen Yunyun to bring him food, to grab something from the cafeteria on her way back from the dorm to the classroom, but now… it seemed unnecessary. He would just eat something after evening self-study.

“Thank you, Zhizhi.”

Zhang Ningzhi, who was carefully placing a neatly folded bag of clothes, paused at his words. The tips of her ears turned red, and her cheeks gradually flushed.

She didn’t resist the nickname ‘Zhizhi’.

Zhang Ningzhi, currently with her back to Jiang Nian, took a soft breath, bit her lip, and whispered,

“You’re welcome.”

During evening reading, the classroom was noisier than ever before.

A few people had rented clothes or directly ordered the clothes they would wear for the coming-of-age ceremony online. Some even brought them into the classroom.

“Holy cow, your… suit, that’s awesome.”

“Who? So flashy.”

“No way, all four boys in Lin Dong and Sun Zhicheng’s group are wearing suits? Damn it, useless group leader, look at other groups!”

“Awesome, why didn’t you guys say anything about renting clothes? I thought not many people were doing it, but it turns out you all have clothes to wear tomorrow, I can’t live like this!”

“Beibei, you’re wearing an ancient-style dress tomorrow, oh my god!”

“Me, me, me, let me see!”

“Cheongsam, my heavens, are there still people in our class wearing cheongsams?”

Evening reading… but hardly anyone was actually reading; everyone was excitedly chattering away. They exchanged words, envying or being envied.

Sun Zhicheng gradually swelled with pride amidst the exclamations of “awesome” and regrets from the boys in the surrounding groups. The embarrassment of the afternoon had been completely thrown to the back of his mind.

“Some people in the next class also rented suits, but the style isn’t very good-looking.”

He enjoyed the fervent gazes of those around him, pulled out a small suit, and said loudly,

“I happen to know a boss who rents out clothes, and they have a batch of good-looking suits. I asked him to save one for me, and he actually did.”

“Acai, you’re amazing! Such nice clothes are hard to rent.”

“No, you have such a good thing and don’t tell your bros?”

“Sun Zhicheng, does the boss you know still have these suits? Our group also wants to order some, how much per set?”

Hearing this, Sun Zhicheng shook his head.

“They’re all gone.”

In reality, he didn’t know any clothes rental boss. He had simply used the “add money” tactic to snatch the suits that others had reserved.

As for what others would do? What did it have to do with him?

However, this extra money he paid had to be subsidized by Sun Zhicheng alone. But he didn’t care, as long as he got the suits.

As he spoke, his peripheral vision glanced at Chen Yunyun.

However, he did not see the reaction he expected from Chen Yunyun. She was just secretly playing with her phone by the window, seemingly chatting with someone.

With a buzz, Chen Yunyun looked at her phone screen and couldn’t help but curve her lips.

She typed rapidly, replying,

“I have a pack of Oreo cookies, do you want some?”

With a buzz, the message on the other side was instantly replied.

“Yes, are they Yue Li Yue or Oreo?”

“Of course it’s… If you don’t want them, forget it, I’ll save them for evening self-study.” Chen Yunyun was both annoyed and wanted to laugh. “Do you want something to drink? I have milk.”

Jiang Nian was writing questions on the desk with one hand, and with the other hand, he was accurately touch-typing under the desk.

“Yes, you shouldn’t drink it, it’s easy to gain weight.”

“Am I fat? (Life Qi)”

Jiang Nian: “I don’t know, can’t tell with clothes on.”

Chen Yunyun: “(Punching) I’m deleting you as a friend, okay?”
