CHAPTER 460: CHAPTER 383: PRAISE FOR CAI MAMA

The last self-study session in the afternoon.

Yu Zhiyi looked up, and after a brief moment of surprise, her gaze instinctively locked onto Jiang Nian.

"What are those people doing?"

"Playing soccer," Yang Qiming turned back and replied.

"Being so bold?" Yu Zhiyi’s eyes widened, and she instinctively straightened up, causing a certain item to leave the table as well.

From a relaxed state, turning into a droplet.

Obviously, her figure was bolder than Jiang Nian and his group’s behavior.

"Indeed, this Jiang Nian...," Yang Qiming frowned, "always feels like he has some strong backing, but there’s no evidence."

"Strong backing?" Yu Zhiyi got a bit absent-minded, thinking of the man who used a book as a bulletproof vest, "Yeah, indeed."

Indeed?

This guy is truly daring, saying all sorts of nonsense.

Yu Zhiyi also had a bit of a joyous attribute, the kind of person whose presence made others feel very comfortable.

Even if she lost money in the morning, her mood would be comforted.

Yang Qiming couldn’t help but glance at her twice, and his feelings towards Lv Xuan began to waver, feeling a bit unfaithful.

In terms of looks, Lv Xuan was above Yu Zhiyi.

But when it comes to dating, without a doubt, a girl like Yu Zhiyi naturally attracts boys.

To say nothing else, just her tutoring can significantly help improve someone’s grades.

He pondered for a moment and thought of a relatively clever way to add her on QQ.

"By the way, did you delete my QQ?"

"Hmm?" Yu Zhiyi looked at Yang Qiming, puzzled, "I didn’t delete it, maybe you never added me?"

Indeed, he never added someone who was already taken.

Yu Zhiyi was previously dating Wu Jungu, and they were one of the semi-public couples in the class, and he wasn’t a troublemaker.

But the past was the past, and now is now.

Yang Qiming had become more open-minded, not minding such things before dating as long as it wasn’t that.

"Haha, I must have remembered wrong then. Sorry, sorry. How about I add you on QQ when I return to the dorm?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhiyi was taken aback and gave an awkward smile.

"Not really."

"Huh?" Yang Qiming was heartbroken, his face twitching slightly, "Why? Haven’t you added quite a few people?"

"No, it’s just... there’s no reason to... so I didn’t add," Yu Zhiyi retorted, "I don’t have many people on my QQ list."

"A seemingly experienced bear-glass-wearing female classmate, but really a conservative rustic girl!"

Such a new series, online serialization.

Yang Qiming was suddenly speechless, but somewhat unwilling, retorted.

"So, is Jiang Nian there?"

Yu Zhiyi opened her mouth but couldn’t say a word.

"There... but that’s because we are all bio-advanced students. We’re under Qingbao’s tutelage, so there are always some things."

This nickname, Qingbao, had already been South Korea-ed by Yu Zhiyi.

After all, she was the biology representative.

Yang Qiming was completely disheartened, and the wistful thoughts in his heart turned into bubbles. He could only turn back and lower his head in contemplation.

....

As dusk approached, the grade leader Ji Ming patrolled from the academic affairs office. After a moment’s thought, he arrived at his most loyal fourth floor.

The Olympic class students have high self-discipline and acceptable discipline.

The only child on the third floor, Class Four was relatively noisy.

Ji Ming patrolled two classes in a row, and nothing happened until... hmm? Why are so many students missing from Olympic Class Three?

In such situations, he would usually frown and say.

"Where is the class monitor?"

But Class Three was special, so Ji Ming didn’t directly call out the Holy Emperor. Instead, he paused for a second and reorganized his words.

"Where’s the discipline commissioner?"

Hearing this, Cai Xiaoqing stood up with a complex expression.

Time to take the fall.

Honestly speaking, Jiang Nian really was a shameless scoundrel. He actually said, "Just cry when you get scolded, Ji Ming won’t be able to say anything."

"Where are these students from your class?" Ji Ming pointed at a few empty seats.

"They’re... they went to the restroom," Cai Xiaoqing forced out, "I’ll go get them back."

"Restroom?" Ji Ming said with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the empty seats in class, "What a coincidence? An entire soccer team went?"

Cai Xiaoqing: "...."

On the soccer field, there was a buzzing sound.

Jiang Nian passed the ball with a kick and simultaneously pulled out his phone from his pocket. He glanced at it and saw it was Cai Xiaoqing.

"Ji Ming is here; I told him you guys went to the restroom."

He thought to himself that Xiaoqing was quite nice and replied with a text.

"Alright. (smile)"

With a buzz, Cai Xiaoqing replied almost immediately.

"What’s with the sarcasm?"

"You’re being a bit sensitive; it just means I’m smiling," Jiang Nian felt helpless, "Playing with a phone during self-study, could get you reported."

Cai Xiaoqing: "(smile)."

Jiang Nian suddenly found it hard to hold back and replied with a text.

"What, aren’t you being sarcastic too?"

An endless nesting doll situation.

Cai Xiaoqing: "..."

On the soccer field, Li Hua saw Jiang Nian paused and couldn’t help but ask curiously.

"What’s up?"

"Bad news," Jiang Nian waved his phone casually, "Ji Ming went to our class and found out we’re not there."

Hearing this, several Southern Village lads stopped in their tracks.

They all looked at Jiang Nian, their breathing slightly heavy. After all, they were Olympic class students, not particularly rebellious.

The wildest they got was just some mouthful rebellion about skipping classes.

Now, not only did they skip class, but they were also caught by the grade leader. It’s no surprise, Old Liu is sure to blow his top.

So who can bear this anger?

Honestly, I got a bit impulsive just now. Is it too late to kneel?

"Crap, we’re done for!"

Before a few of the Zhen Nan boys could voice their pessimism, Jiang Nian gestured in a Stoop style manner and spoke again.

"But Cai Xiang sent a red envelope and treated us to a meal."

"No way!" Li Hua exclaimed, his eyes suddenly wide open with disbelief. "Cai Xiang sent a red envelope, really?"

"If I’m lying, I’m a dog." Jiang Nian lied without blinking an eye.

Dogs are nice, people are bad.

We bros are tier-one protected species on Little Red Book.

"Also, Cai Xiang didn’t sell us out. When Ji Ming asked where we went, Cai Xiang said we went to the bathroom."

"Let’s get our stories straight so we don’t get exposed."

Within a minute, the team’s mood was like a rollercoaster, going up and down, and finally shooting straight to the sky.

"Cai Xiang is such a treasure, this is amazing."

"So damn touching, Cai Xiang doesn’t even care, suddenly getting caught by Ji Ming doesn’t seem like a big deal."

"Can be a mom now, Mama Cai."

"Chi Shi! You with your damn bad teeth, looking to eat something soft, huh? Worthless, take a punch from your dad."

"Mama Cai, we adore you muchly."

"Chi Shi, even drag the anime nerd out, take a punch from your dad."

Boys are like this, once they stack up some kind of buff, skipping class to practice ball becomes a pretty intense feat.

Their attitude toward the upcoming game started to change.

Winning an award is a must.

Even if you have to kick the opponent’s main player off the field, you have to win! Not winning totally disrespects Cai Xiang’s effort.

Jiang Nian stood in the middle of the field, watching the "kids" full of passion, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Winning the championship brings quite a few benefits. On one hand, it’s tangible benefits, and on the other hand, it’s... all for Zhizhi!

And in a county town high school like Zhen Nan, where football isn’t popular, the football matches are basically chaotic, and it’s all about morale.

At times like this, the importance of the "Political Commissar" is highlighted.

After practice, Jiang Nian took them to the small canteen to eat. Let them go get food while he stood there eyes closed, swiping the card.

The card given by old Liu didn’t hurt to swipe.

But then again, if they win the football championship, it’s quite beneficial for old Liu too.

Class 3 topped the Olympic competition and first in sports level. A solid excellent class, old Liu’s guidance is great.

It’s like using old Liu’s money to do old Liu’s business.

They were really hungry, and even though the small canteen’s food was so-so, after adding a bottle of drink, they devoured it all.

"Praise Cai Xiang!"

...

Night self-study, the classroom was brightly lit.

Cai Xiaoqing was engrossed, sitting at her desk doing problems.

Suddenly hearing some noise, she turned her head and saw that the group of guys who went to play were back, and they were all smiling at her incessantly.

"Hmm?"

Cai Xiaoqing looked puzzled, thinking, did Jiang Nian say something bad about her? She’s covered for him, but then...

However, Liu Yang at the front spoke to Cai Xiaoqing.

"Thanks, Cai Xiang."

"Huh?" She was a bit confused but quickly caught on, it must be because of the afternoon, "Oh oh, it’s nothing."

Li Hua grinned cheekily and said to her.

"The food was pretty good, thanks Mama Cai."

"Stop going crazy, get lost." Liu Yang gave him a push and dragged him away, "Don’t mind him, he’s having a fit."

Then the others all expressed their gratitude to Cai Xiaoqing and said some strange things like "We’ll win for sure."

She was quite bewildered, not knowing what had happened.

Until the last person walked past, Jiang Nian didn’t say anything. He just gave her a smile and then left directly.

Cai Xiaoqing frowned slightly and pulled out her phone to send a message to Jiang Nian.

"What did you do? Pinning it on me."

A few seconds later, Jiang Nian replied.

"Just treated them to a meal in your name, that’s all. Don’t spill it, it’s beneficial for everyone anyway."

Seeing this, Cai Xiaoqing put down her phone.

Indeed there’s a benefit, these people are the troublemakers in the class. Setting aside the games, at least they’ll owe her a favor in the future.

If it needs handling, it’s unlikely they won’t cooperate in the short term.

But, what’s in it for Jiang Nian?

....

First period of night self-study.

Zhang Ningzhi lifted her head, sniffing the air.

"The leader smells bad."

"Chi Shi!" Li Hua was triggered, pointing at Jiang Nian, "There’s a Jiang Nian between us, clearly, he’s closer to you!"

Zhang Ningzhi blinked her eyes, her face slightly flushed.

"But... there’s no smell on him."

"Really?" Li Hua got closer to Jiang Nian and sniffed, gagging immediately, "Such strong sweat smell, you can’t smell it?"

"Can’t smell it." Zhang Ningzhi shook her head.

Jiang Nian indeed had a sweaty smell since he’s not a little fairy boy. If there were no sweat, he’d easily get stalked by some Nantong folks.

But a little bit of sweat was covered by the detergent scent on his clothes, unless through an epic over-the-lung attempt, it’d be hard to notice.

In fact, she thought it smelled kind of nice.

"Chi Shi, isn’t this such a double standard?" Li Hua held his head; it was hard to bear, "Jiang Nian, why don’t you say something?"

"Huh?" Jiang Nian looked bewildered, "What did she say?"

"You damn!"

Tata, Qingbao walked into the classroom. After putting down the reference books in her hand, she scanned the room and stopped her gaze on Jiang Nian.

"Jiang Nian, come with me to the office."
