CHAPTER 712: CHAPTER 560: A GIRL’S DESCENT INTO CORRUPTION

Why not avoid...

Because I will win.

What’s the insider info here?

Lao Liu pondered for a moment, "Playing the hero comes at a cost, but if you’re guaranteed to win, that’s another story."

Jiang Nian was afraid that the next second, Lao Liu would say something about offering tea.

He coughed and shamelessly said.

"Teacher, Class Three should be proud of me."

Lao Liu: "..."

It’s hard to hold back, are students these days so thick-skinned? But, Jiang Nian does have the qualifications to say this.

"Cough, cough, you’re still a bit behind in your studies."

Lao Liu patted Jiang Nian’s shoulder, "Get your mind back on studies, strive for constant progress."

"Alright, I’ll try my best." Jiang Nian nodded.

Back to the classroom.

"Jiang Nian, what did Lao Liu want with you this afternoon?" The chubby boy asked curiously, a mischievous grin on his face.

The boys all understood, likely implying something.

But what happened in the morning?

Jiang Nian recalled that he was on stage, and seemed to only say one sentence to Xu Shuang, as clean as could be.

Damn, they’re asking about this?

"Oh, Lao Liu invited me to his home for dinner during the New Year." He waved his hand and said, "I told him I’d think about it."

Ma Guojun heard this and was half-convinced, half-doubtful.

"Showing off like this?"

Jiang Nian leaned back tactically, "What else? Lao Liu’s secretly quite flattering, it’s all because I’m too outstanding."

Ma Guojun: "....."

The afternoon classes were dull, with only five days left until the final exams. Some people were nervously reviewing, while others continued to bury themselves in play.

The teachers weren’t rushing through lectures anymore, combining classes. One class doing a test paper, another class going over it.

"Damn, this time I want to hit 630!" Li Hua vowed.

"Oh, 630," Jiang Nian responded flatly, "By the way, Hua, help me look at this pen."

"What’s wrong with this pen?" Li Hua asked, not understanding, as he moved closer.

Jiang Nian flashed a mysterious smile, "Do you think using this pen for the exam will affect my score of 650?"

Li Hua exploded instantly, "Chi Shi me!"

"Stop bullying the team leader every day." Zhang Ningzhi couldn’t stand it anymore, "630 isn’t that hard to get."

Li Hua turned his head, looking utterly defeated.

"You guys..."

He was tired of saying they were in cahoots. All he could think about now was playing the zither in the internet cafe after the finals.

"Team leader, don’t bother, just play on your phone like me." Zeng You turned to look at him, smiling.

"The joint exams are over, the finals aren’t important."

Li Hua thought for a bit, then nodded.

"True."

"Who says?" Jiang Nian casually said, "It’s better to score a few more points, the finals might have a great prize."

"Really?" Huang Fang turned around.

"Not sure, the teacher said so." Jiang Nian never kept glory to himself, "Anyway, give it a try, there’s no loss."

Everyone around him took in Jiang Nian’s words.

Three afternoon classes passed.

Zeng You went out for a bathroom break, and when he returned to the classroom, he found the previously noisy class was now quietly reading.

Even Li Hua was diligently memorizing vocabulary.

In an instant, he felt a sense of betrayal.

Luckily, the next second, he suddenly saw Yang Qiming sitting in the back row, frantically replying to messages on his phone.

Such arrogance!

Ski.

In another corner of the class, Sun Zhicheng was also sneakily playing on his phone.

Imposter Cheng, so down-to-earth!

Who knows the sense of redemption amidst the chaos.

Zeng You thought to himself that since the prizes weren’t for him, he might as well take this opportunity to play wildly, he wasn’t alone!

....

After school.

The back row was empty, Li Qingrong got dragged away by Nie Qiqi as soon as the bell rang.

Before going to eat, Jiang Nian secretly pinched Zhizhi once. Daily check-in complete, he was satisfied.

"Pervert." Zhang Ningzhi glanced at him.

"What?" Jiang Nian naturally denied it, those who can resist not pinching thighs are like this (thumbs up).

"By the way, how did you get to know the girl from Class Zero?" Zhang Ningzhi cleverly changed the topic.

Didn’t ask in the morning, asking in the afternoon.

Alright, alright, alright.

"Hmm... To be exact, I first met her younger brother." Jiang Nian answered honestly, "Did a business deal with her brother."

"Business deal?"

"A bit of small business, mainly taking money to get things done." Jiang Nian couldn’t explain his professional skills.

Give me money, I’ll work for you.

"Oh oh, then if I give you money." Zhang Ningzhi blinked, "Will you listen to me?"

Jiang Nian was stumped, "Then remember to use cash, or it’ll be troublesome if the police catch on."

"Not that kind of thing!" Zhang Ningzhi blushed immediately, turning her head away, "Forget it, not talking to you anymore!"

Jiang Nian laughed and retreated, it wasn’t important what was said.

Zhizhi is really cute.

Cafeteria.

He just finished eating and was thinking about getting a bottle of iced black tea when his phone suddenly vibrated with an incoming call from an unknown number.

"Huh?"

Jiang Nian glanced at the caller ID, it was from the same city. Not long-distance, so he had to answer it.

"Hello?"

"Jiang Nian, do you miss me?"

Upon hearing the voice on the phone, Jiang Nian instantly gasped, almost unable to stand.

She’s back, they’re all back!

The fear once dominated by Han Xiao came flooding back to Jiang Nian in an instant, leaving him stunned.

Damn it! The Enchanting Demon’s call.

Jiang Nian said, "What are you talking about, I’ve met your mom maybe twice, why would I miss her?"

A second of silence on the other end, followed by an outburst.

"Ah ah ah!! Jiang Nian you!"

"I’m hanging up."

"No, you’re not allowed to hang up," Han Xiao said firmly, "Or I’ll come to talk to you in person."

Hearing that, Jiang Nian moved his fingers away.

"Then go ahead."

He said, simultaneously starting the call recording.

Just in case Han Xiao writes a Time History Book.

"I’m coming back in a few days for finals, do you miss me?" Han Xiao cooed, "Mmm mmm mmm, I missed you so much."
