CHAPTER 726: CHAPTER 567: (SUPPLEMENT) HOW PRETTY?

Afternoon, small study session.

Jiang Nian was carrying a math test paper to find Qi Xue, and happened to pass by the office, catching a glimpse of Lao Liu’s little daughter.

She was sitting on a chair, holding a snack between her legs.

She was so small that the snack bag seemed big. She grabbed some chips with both hands and slowly stuffed them into her mouth.

Lao Liu was correcting test papers while swiping his phone.

"Teacher."

Lao Liu was startled and instinctively put away his phone. Turning around and seeing it was Jiang Nian, he took it out again.

"Oh oh, it’s you."

Jiang Nian: "...."

byd.

Reading and slacking off as a kid, growing up and slacking off as a teacher, describes people like Lao Liu and Qianbao.

"Are the chips tasty?" Jiang Nian asked the little girl.

"Tasty!" The little girl took out a chip and put it in her mouth, then thought for a moment and pulled it out, breaking it in half and offering it to Jiang Nian.

"Liu An’an, don’t give others what you’ve eaten!" Lao Liu lectured with a stern face, "It’s impolite!"

"Oh." Liu An’an stuffed the chip back into her mouth and then started licking her fingers without a care.

Lao Liu rubbed his forehead, but was too lazy to deal with it.

"Taking care of kids is really annoying."

Upon hearing this, Liu An’an stopped licking her fingers, looked at Lao Liu very seriously, and raised her voice.

"Mom, let me take care of you!"

"Taking care of adults is also annoying."

Seeing this, Jiang Nian couldn’t help but smile.

"An’an is so clever."

"Yeah, absolutely like that." Liu An’an nodded calmly and continued lecturing Lao Liu.

"Teacher, I’m going to the math office." he said.

"Okay, go ahead."

From the office behind, Lao Liu was teaching Liu An’an to remember to say "big brother" when meeting someone, the conversation floating out.

In the math office.

Qi Xue was correcting test papers, and as she put down her pen to stretch, she happened to see Jiang Nian appear at the door.

"Come in."

She waved her hand, sparing Jiang Nian the step of knocking on the door.

"Already finished?"

"Yep." Jiang Nian nodded.

He didn’t seek Qi Xue’s help that frequently, not because Qi Xue didn’t have time.

It’s just that his foundation was weak, and Qi Xue’s early help wouldn’t make much difference.

Qi Xue’s suggestion was to first solidify the math foundation, rather than a force-fed, patch-and-repair approach.

By consolidating knowledge points and appropriately practicing foundational problems, he could develop problem-solving skills and intuition.

Stock up before taking charge, aiming for the next semester.

"Yes, you’ve made progress." Qi Xue nodded, "But you made a mistake here... watch how I solve it."

Time ticked by, and it was soon time for school to end.

Even for the simplest points, Qi Xue taught seriously. Jiang Nian listened carefully and noted everything.

Sometimes, learning is a habit.

Before Jiang Nian left, he tidied up Qi Xue’s desk, saving her the trouble of cleaning up after work.

"Goodbye, teacher."

"Yes, go on now." Qi Xue leaned back in her chair to rest, her short hair making her look a bit sharp, "Go home and digest it well."

Ten minutes later, Qi Xue got up to leave work.

She glanced at her desk, finding nothing that needed tidying. She also looked at the trash bag, hmm... it had been replaced.

Jiang Nian came once every two or three days, just right as the desk started to get messy.

Qi Xue fell into thought.

.....

Afternoon dismissal, collective holiday for the second-year students.

The playground was filled with second-year students who had finished their exams and were about to go home. The gray school uniforms made it an impressive sight.

"The second-year students are leaving, so it’s just us left?"

"Yeah."

Jiang Nian said, looking up at Li Hua and Ma Guojun with some helplessness after glancing around.

"Hua, is it necessary to chase all the way to the cafeteria?"

"Chi Shi!"

Li Hua pointed at Jiang Nian across a table.

"You know very well yourself."

"What do I know?" Jiang Nian turned to Ma Guojun, "Old Ma, have you heard the story of the silly little cat?"

"Just found out, it cracked me up." Ma Guojun chuckled.

The two looked at each other and laughed, their small laughs turning into suppressed laughter, finally slapping the cafeteria table in hearty laughter.

The cafeteria wasn’t crowded, so it didn’t really affect anyone.

Li Hua turned red with anger, trembling.

"A bunch of beasts!!"

"geigei is so fierce, am I or the little cat fiercer?" Jiang Nian teased in a singsong voice.

Suddenly, passersby turned their heads.

The three of them froze, realizing the two who passed by were girls. It instantly became more awkward, and they couldn’t hold it in.

The two girls giggled, one of them prettier and more daring, giving Jiang Nian a sidelong glance, her eyes sparkling.

"geigei is so fierce."

"Hee hee."

Saying that, the two girls left with a laugh.

"Chi Shi Chi Shi!!" Li Hua couldn’t hold it any longer, "How come you can flirt with girls even in the cafeteria!"

Jiang Nian: "?"

Doggone, throwing dirt, is it?

Ma Guojun stood up, "I’m a bit hungry too, let’s see if the cafeteria has silly little cat, get a plate."

"You guys are a pain!"

Jiang Nian finished laughing and then said, "Hua, nowadays with voice changers, the person who asked you to do a task could have been anyone, not necessarily a girl."

"How... how is that possible?" Li Hua swallowed and said, "There were both voice and video, how could it be fake?"

"Let me see." Ma Guojun leaned over.

Near the start of the evening self-study, at a stall by the West Gate.

"Hahaha!"

Jiang Nian and Ma Guojun’s laughter soared over the noodle stall.

In their words, they always inadvertently mentioned the little cat. If this little cat wasn’t under pressure from reporting and weapons threats.

It had to be admitted, that he used his sister’s photo and voice to fool Li Hua.

"Totally done!" Li Hua looked at the chat logs on his phone, feeling like he had kind of died, "Damn it."

The beautiful bubble burst, leaving only desolation.

"Hmm? Isn’t that Jiang Nian and the others over there?" Yang Qiming just got back from dinner, pointing to the stall in the center of the street.
