CHAPTER 698: CHAPTER 553: USING WANG YUHE’S PASSWORD

Jiang Nian paused for a moment, then nodded upon hearing this.

"Oh."

He thought to himself that Qingbao was always straight to the point. Suddenly looking for him probably had something to do with the final exams.

Sure enough, after the first evening self-study session was over,

Jiang Nian had just carried the test papers down to the office when Qingbao glanced at him. She got straight to the point and talked about the end-of-term arrangements.

"For the final exam, the integrated science test paper’s biology section is drafted by the teacher from Class Zero. Make sure you write it properly."

"Okay," Jiang Nian nodded, showing an expression that said he expected as much, "Then teacher, how many test papers will be distributed during winter break?"

Upon hearing this, Qingbao reached for the teacup on the table.

"Why do you ask?"

"Just curious."

Qingbao felt the cup for a while, realizing it was empty.

"It’s not that I can’t tell you, but there’s just too many papers. They haven’t all been printed yet, so there’s no exact number."

Jiang Nian: "..."

He habitually stepped forward to help Qingbao get hot water. While the teapot was being steadied, he turned his head to glance at the pile of test papers.

"I’d like to take some test papers in advance to work on at home."

If it were anyone else, Qingbao would likely refuse. Firstly, it’s against the rules, and secondly, it serves no real purpose.

For Jiang Nian, it was a bit different. Everyone has their biases, especially a favored student.

Besides, Jiang Nian’s biology skills didn’t have much room for improvement.

After a moment’s thought, Qingbao agreed.

"Okay."

Suddenly, a young male teacher entered the integrated science office.

He looked around and walked over to Qingbao’s desk, turning his back towards Jiang Nian and Qingbao, then awkwardly spoke.

"Hey, does the shoe print on my back stand out?"

"Uh, it’s not too bad," Jiang Nian replied.

Qingbao asked, "Teacher Li, what happened...?"

"Oh, I went to the restroom," the male teacher waved, "I just lit a cigarette and was kicked by a new teacher."

"Enough said, I’ll go change my clothes first."

Qingbao: "..."

Jiang Nian smoothly got the test papers, though there were still a few that hadn’t been printed yet and would have to be picked up around exam time.

Before leaving, he conveniently took the trash under Qingbao’s desk with him.

"Hmm?" Qingbao looked puzzled. This top student was becoming increasingly handy, even voluntarily taking on chores.

For now, there was nothing more to teach. When he started comprehensive problem-solving in the third phase, she could still teach him a few things.

Qingbao sat leisurely at her workstation, enjoying the joy of gardening.

Just after leaving the office, Jiang Nian was stopped by someone.

"What are you doing with the test papers?"

"To work on them."

"Are these... new test papers?" Yu Zhiyi was a bit curious, craning her neck to take a look, accompanied by a chubby dragon rolling along.

"You’re so curious, might as well become a super detective," Jiang Nian replied speechlessly, pulling out the test papers and preparing to leave.

"Hey, wait!!"

Yu Zhiyi pulled him aside to a quiet corner, and seeing no classmates around, she lowered her voice to speak.

"Last time we agreed, don’t go spreading rumors, alright?"

"Oh, don’t worry," Jiang Nian thought for a moment, "I’m much more reliable than you when it comes to handling things."

Last time, Yu Zhiyi enticed Jiang Nian to attend a psychology lecture by promising a remote-controlled toy car, and a powerful one at that.

Truth be told, no boy can refuse a remote-controlled car.

Jiang Nian was no exception and agreed.

However, once the deed was done, Yu Zhiyi’s funds were short. She said she’d have to wait until the New Year to use her lucky money to fulfill her promise.

Damn, her credibility was weak.

She was just afraid Jiang Nian would speak ill of her, so with some doubt, she asked.

"Alright, do you have any requirements for the remote-controlled car?"

Jiang Nian pondered, "No particular requirements, just that the car’s headlights should work, the body should be lightweight, but the parts that need to be heavy should be heavy."

"If possible, the front wheels should ideally have intelligent steering."

Yu Zhiyi was speechless, "Do you take me for a wishing well? Where on earth can I get those things, you might as well be driving me."

"That won’t do."

......

"Where did you get the test papers?"

"Qingbao gave them."

"Chi Shi!"

Jiang Nian thought to himself that Li Hua was a bit simple-minded, as he carefully stacked the biology test papers using a pink clip... hmm? Where did that come from...

Oh, the class monitor gave it.

"Did you buy a new clip?" Zhang Ningzhi glanced at it and asked curiously, "Oh, it’s actually pink."

"It was a gift from the class monitor," Jiang Nian stated plainly.

"Oh, a gift from the class monitor... ugh!" Zhang Ningzhi seemed a bit miffed but thought nothing of it, as gifting clips was normal.

"I have one too, hmph!"

"Then you can give me one, I’m running out," Jiang Nian reached out to take Zhang Ningzhi’s test paper clip.

"Ah! No way!"

The two immediately started bickering, and after a while, Zhang Ningzhi was out of breath, only remembering the battle over the clip.

Originally, it was just a trivial matter.

Approaching the end of evening self-study dismissal,

The classroom was buzzing with chatty students, forming a collective hum. In the last fifteen minutes, they didn’t even bother to pretend anymore.

Li Hua said, "Hey, why do elders always say that you shouldn’t whistle at home at night?"

"It’s supposed to attract something, right?"

"Probably because you’re being noisy, what else," Zeng You commented, "I’d say it’s not as odd as the strange events I’ve heard."

Then, Group Six suddenly began a discussion on this topic.

Jiang Nian kept his head down working on the biology test papers the entire time, as he had a packed schedule for the New Year. If he didn’t start early, he wouldn’t finish in time.

Finally, he looked up and joined in, saying.

"Speaking of which, do you know... the three things you shouldn’t do on a long trip?"

"What are they?" Li Hua asked, bewildered.

"Ahem, firstly, you shouldn’t get out of the car for a restroom break on the roadside," Jiang Nian lowered his voice, "even if it’s urgent, wait until daylight."

"Secondly, you should honk when entering a deserted tunnel."

"Thirdly, don’t pick up hitchhikers on the roadside, regardless of age or gender, even if they wave at night."

Jiang Nian spoke with convincing detail, and as his words fell, it left everyone stunned, the room falling silent.
