CHAPTER 713: CHAPTER 560: A GIRL’S DESCENT INTO CORRUPTION

"I want to die," Jiang Nian said.

"Why are you like this?" Han Xiao was a bit displeased.

"Come on, can you spare me?" Jiang Nian said, "If you’re really that bored, it’s not too late to join the Three Kingdoms game."

"What?"

"If that doesn’t work, you could find a handsome guy to date."

"I don’t want a handsome guy, I just want to play with you," Han Xiao insisted, she’s not stupid, handsome guys are unreliable.

Even if Jiang Nian was bad, he wouldn’t harm her.

So, she wanted it all.

"Why are you back?" Jiang Nian was resigned and decided to first figure out her purpose, "To celebrate New Year?"

"The tutoring sessions have ended," Han Xiao said, "I’ve finished the exams over there, and I’m back to take the end-of-term exams again."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian roughly understood the situation.

After chatting a few sentences, he directly hung up. Soon after, Han Xiao’s frantic WeChat messages bombarded him.

He took a glance and blocked her.

Jiang Nian understood this former deskmate very well, arguing was useless. Han Xiao’s behavior was too abstract.

....

Evening self-study.

The class was a lot quieter than usual.

Zeng You looked up, feeling a bit unfamiliar with Class Three. He only felt at ease after turning to glance at Yang Qiming.

Consider Class Three not up to par.

But then, there’s no place like home.

"This problem is really twisted, the diagram is all black," Jiang Nian stopped writing and complained, "How to analyze the forces like this?"

Zhang Ningzhi glanced at it, "Analyze the forces as a whole."

Jiang Nian: ".....Zhizhi, save me."

Zhang Ningzhi pursed her lips and looked at him reservedly.

"What did you call me?"

"Study God."

"Hmph, that’s more like it," Zhang Ningzhi said proudly, "For this problem, you first need to look at the statement, known conditions....."

At the back of the classroom.

Zhou Yuting lifted her pen, just as a commotion was heard from the front. Looking up, Lao Liu had arrived, and she quickly lowered her head.

She had agreed with the class teacher that if she scored 570, she’d switch to Tao Ran’s group.

Originally, Zhou Yuting was full of ambition.

Even if it was only five short days, as long as she seized the time. Studying against the clock, she could definitely achieve it.

But who would have expected, Yang Qiming didn’t know what happened recently, like a cat in heat, humming songs during self-study.

From Sodagreen’s "Little Love Song" to Stefanie Sun’s "I Miss", humming while shaking his leg.

Even more despairing, while Zhou Yuting was writing problems, lines from the song would pop into her mind, "I miss our endless conversations."

This person is really...so annoying!

Fortunately, she would soon be out of this misery. The girl coming over would also receive her compensation gift.

After all, being deskmates with Yang Qiming was a kind of torture.

Evening self-study break.

Wang Yuhe got up from her seat and took Chen Yunyun to the restroom, turning her head to see Sun Zhicheng lying on the desk.

"Huh?"

"What’s up?" Chen Yunyun got up and pulled down her clothes.

"Nothing," Wang Yuhe pointed, indicating the sleeping Sun Zhicheng, "He seems tired these past two days."

"Maybe.....studying too hard," Chen Yunyun said, then pulled Wang Yuhe to the administrative building’s restroom.

Not long after the two girls left, Jiang Nian walked by to fill his water bottle.

"Everyone’s gone, huh?"

Lin Dong looked up, puzzled.

"Am I not a person?"

"How much did you make from the one-dollar lottery?" Jiang Nian sat down in Chen Yunyun’s seat, casually flicking off Wang Yuhe’s green slap bracelet.

"Not much, a few thousand," Lin Dong swiped his phone twice, "Brother Nian, why didn’t you try it?"

"I’m the Motivational Star, it’s not a good influence."

Lin Dong: "...byd, you really have no shame. If you don’t care about the money, just say so, don’t blame it on being the Motivational Star."

Their chatter woke up the sleeping Sun Zhicheng.

He got up groggily, looked at whoever was sitting in Chen Yunyun’s seat, and felt mixed emotions, sinking into silence.

What am I doing?

Others are deepening relationships with the girls in class, but I’m chatting with a guy.

I must be crazy!

"How do you play this thing?" Jiang Nian was swinging the green slap bracelet.

"Oh, I saw her sticking pens with it," Lin Dong explained, demonstrating as well.

Peter Parker, signature move.

"Alright, I’ll take it to play for a while," Jiang Nian got up, carrying the green slap bracelet with him, "Make sure to tell her."

"Okay."

Lin Dong responded, then patted Sun Zhicheng’s shoulder.

"Ah Cheng, keep sleeping."

Sun Zhicheng: "...."

On another side.

Just as the bell rang, Li Qingrong was preparing to tidy up her desk when a green slap bracelet flew over, accurately snatching away one of her pens.

She looked up to find it was Jiang Nian.

Li Qingrong: "...."

"How about it?" Jiang Nian grinned and put the spoils in his pocket, "Perfect aim technique, impressive, right?"

Li Qingrong looked down, "Mm."

Upon hearing that, Jiang Nian became more full of himself. He flicked the green slap bracelet again, openly stealing Li Hua’s pen.

Li Hua: "?"

"You’re such a Chi Shi!"

...

"Bye, I’m heading home," Jiang Nian said, carrying his bag and preparing to continue his studies at home, "I’ll play games first when I get back."

"Do you play games at night too?" Yao Beibei asked.

"I play every day."

"Pfft, don’t listen to him brag," Zhang Ningzhi ruthlessly exposed, "He has a thick stack of exam papers and does one every night."

Yao Beibei: "...study dog."

"You don’t understand [Favorite Male God Zero]," Jiang Nian pointed at her, "Huang Beibei, you better keep quiet."

Li Qingrong was calmly packing up her things. Seeing Jiang Nian looking over, she thought for a moment, then waved her hand.

"Bye."

Jiang Nian laughed and waved back.

"Bye."

....

At the school gate, Jiang Nian received a message from the class monitor.

Li Qingrong: "(Smile)"

For a moment, he couldn’t quite gauge what the class monitor meant. They just said goodbye, so what does the smile mean?

Jiang Nian instinctively looked around.

Just scaring himself.

No, there’s really no need to feel guilty.

"What are you looking at?" Xu Qianqian saw him looking furtive and frowned, "Do you owe someone money or something?"

"What if I owe you money?" Jiang Nian asked.

"Will you pay it back?"

"A loan acquired by skill, why would I pay it back?"

"Oh, I have steel," Xu Qianqian raised her fist, "Then you better have a will of steel."

"Mr. Xu is truly violent," Jiang Nian said as he walked out, seeing Song Xiyun playing with her phone, "Playing tripe elimination?"

"No, a small game..." Song Xiyun was slightly nervous, "Finished revising, just relaxing a bit."

"What’s fun about that, why not help me with my daily tasks?" Jiang Nian suggested tentatively.

"My phone...."

"No need for your phone, I have a dedicated gaming device," Jiang Nian tried to persuade her.

"What’s so fun about that? You might as well help me with my daily tasks when you have time." Xu Qianqian pointed at him, "Let Xiyun play games for you."

"Then how about exchanging ten late-night snacks?" Xu Qianqian quipped.

"Deal," Jiang Nian agreed immediately.

In no time, he was back home with his backpack, ready to continue studying. "I’ll play games first."

"You play at night too?" Yao Beibei asked.

"Every day."

"Pshaw, don’t listen to his tall tales," Zhang Ningzhi unceremoniously pointed out, "He has a thick stack of test papers, he finishes one every day after going home."

Yao Beibei: "...diligent dog."

"[Favorite Male God Zero], you don’t understand?" Jiang Nian pointed at her, "Huang Beibei, you’d better zip it."

Li Qingrong was still tidying up her things slowly. Seeing Jiang Nian looking her way, she paused for a moment and then waved her hand.

"Goodbye."

Jiang Nian chuckled, waved back, and responded, "Bye, bye."
