Chapter 106: The Ones I Hate Most Are Those Who Show Off

Li Hua thought about it all afternoon, but still couldn't figure out why Jiang Nian was so energetic.

He stared for three class periods, and the result was that he only saw him yawn once?

Must have secretly visited the Lu Kingdom, little virgin.

Using sage mode the whole time to resist the afternoon's fatigue? Honestly, there's no need to push yourself this hard for studying, right? What's the point of forcing it? Not afraid of walking while holding the wall?

He asked tactfully, but the only response he got was hehe.

During the small self-study before afternoon dismissal, Jiang Nian had already finished a math test paper. The easy ones he skipped directly, consolidating the basics then tackling the hard ones.

The entire afternoon, he was barely drowsy at all.

How to put it, the effect was surprisingly good, all the fatigue in his body was completely eliminated. The whole person seemed to have been purified, his body had never been so bursting with energy before.

Felt like he could punch three Yu Tongjies to death with one fist.

But after consuming three class periods, his body returned to normal. This meant one immunity to fatigue could bring one optimal physical state.

Generally speaking, it's hard for the human body to reach its optimal state every day.

In other words, he attends class every day at seventy to eighty percent of full capacity. Usually after pushing through two class periods he's about done, then he lies down and starts sleeping to replenish his stamina.

Most people in the class are about the same, no one stays full of energy for an entire morning every day. If there really is such a person, they've basically spent money on their life, once they pass the life-burning stage they collapse.

Constantly falling ill is the standard configuration, and no amount of supplements can make up for it.

When Jiang Nian was in Gao Er, there was such a life-spending bro in the class. Probably used some kind of mental motivational method, attending class every day as if injected with chicken blood.

In the end his body collapsed, took a leave of absence, and went to the provincial hospital for further treatment.

Now Jiang Nian uses one fatigue elimination to directly get full stamina and full state. He can probably last three class periods, and his energy can be concentrated at will while listening to lectures and doing test papers.

Equivalent to, with the time unchanged, his efficiency has doubled. If converted to waking hours, what he now has is twice that of others.

That means double the suffering.

GG!

But anyway, it's all about enduring either way, so there's no difference. With this tiny ability, at least it can ensure his torment won't be in vain, giving him one more chance.

Baby Zhizhi's spirit wasn't too good in the afternoon either, she didn't talk much, just lay her head down after class.

It wasn't for any other reason, the drowsiness was visible to the naked eye.

Afternoon dismissal, return from the cafeteria.

Outside the window was a blood-colored sunset, the evening breeze near late October already carried a hint of coolness.

Jiang Nian had no heart to watch, lying on his seat slacking off. The last class tonight was the biology evening self-study, and he was doing the two questions Zhong Qing had assigned.

Sun Zhicheng arrived at the classroom early, his mood had been pretty good all day today. He subconsciously glanced at Chen Yunyun's seat, it was empty, she had most likely gone back to the dorm.

He glanced at Jiang Nian's seat again, he was lying on the desk doing homework.

After a while, Baby Zhizhi walked in through the front door of the classroom, holding two boxes of lemon tea in her hand. Sun Zhicheng saw with his own eyes that Baby Zhizhi gave one box to Jiang Nian.

He couldn't say what he felt, it wasn't exactly sour.

He just felt that Jiang Nian already had such a pretty deskmate like Baby Zhizhi, why did he still have to get along so well with Chen Yunyun, are you some kind of octopus?

So much energy?

So annoying, these kinds of people, can you stop always playing that NTR trick!

Sun Zhicheng himself forgot, even without Jiang Nian, there would still be Li Nian, Wang Nian, Zhao Nian.

Chen Yunyun's relationship with the boys in the class was already pretty good to begin with, it's just that recently she's been getting along famously with Jiang Nian. To be precise, it's the novelty that has been attracting her.

It's not that Jiang Nian's energy is vigorous or not, it's that Chen Yunyun actively reserved her limited energy for Jiang Nian.

Gao San is very, very tiring, time is actually very limited. In the past she was used to playing around during breaks, now it's become doing homework during breaks.

Just to finish homework earlier, so she could chat and play around with Jiang Nian during the noon break. It's not that they were flirting, she just felt it was interesting, very relaxing.

By the window, Jiang Nian suddenly nudged her.

"Why did you look so sleepy this afternoon?"

"Mm, someone gave me breakfast this morning, I didn't accept it." Baby Zhizhi said softly, "At noon he gave me milk tea again, I didn't take it. I went straight home after leaving the school gate, I was so scared at noon I didn't sleep well."

Jiang Nian was slightly stunned, "Who has no sense of awareness like this?"

"He said his name is Zhou Haifei, also in Gao San." Baby Zhizhi said softly.

"What's his name?"

"Zhou Haifei."

Jiang Nian, who had just been grinning, instantly sat up straight, his expression instantly turning serious.

"Wh-what's wrong?" Baby Zhizhi couldn't help but get nervous too, "You know him?"

"Don't know him, have a bit of an impression." Jiang Nian covered it up, "By the way, that person is a guy, right?"

"Ah, definitely a guy." Baby Zhizhi nodded, her expression changing slightly, but on second thought she said, "Wouldn't it be even scarier if it were a girl?"

"Which class is he from?"

Baby Zhizhi hesitated for a while, then reported a class number. Jiang Nian instantly stood up, casually taking the lemon tea on the desk, just about to leave his seat when he was pulled back.

"Wh-where are you going?"

Jiang Nian glanced at Baby Zhizhi's small hand pulling his clothes, and decided to use some more civilized vocabulary. After all, Baby Zhizhi is a good kid, so he said.

"I have some personal grudge with him, going to settle it."

There really was a personal grudge, feelings have duplicate names.

He had previously assumed that Zhou Haifei in Xu Qianqian's class was a lesbian, but now it seems like a future rival in love—no wonder the task was completed so inexplicably.

Let's see which bastard, has the same taste as bro, huh?

Good good good, let me show you something good.

Baby Zhizhi, hearing this, got even more nervous, and hurriedly pulled him back into his seat by force.

"Don't go fight."

Jiang Nian figured there was no need to actually fight — it was pretty much the same idea. Don't let grudges carry overnight; just give him a warning and be done with it, and see what the other guy was made of.

"There won't be any conflict, don't worry. I'll just go over and take a look."

"Th-then I'll go too, since it does involve me." Zhang Ningzhi said.

"Fine." Jiang Nian actually wanted to say it was only partly her business — the other half was that he was curious too. "You don't need to be this nervous. I'm just going to take a casual look."

Zhang Ningzhi half-regretted saying all that. She had only been a little overwhelmed today.

On top of that, she was used to chatting with Jiang Nian normally, and he often teased information out of her. So she'd developed the habit of basically saying whatever came to mind.

"H-how could I possibly not be nervous?"

"Haha, just going to have a chat with a classmate." Jiang Nian slowly stood up and laughed. "Why are you so nervous? What era do you think this is?"

For some reason, Zhang Ningzhi felt Jiang Nian seemed a little too angry. Clearly he was smiling, and his tone was fine, yet she felt something was a little—

Gulp. Zhang Ningzhi swallowed, and followed Jiang Nian out of the classroom.

The fourth-floor corridor was lit up; there was still nearly half an hour before evening self-study.

"Which class?" he asked, walking ahead.

"A501 on the fifth floor." Zhang Ningzhi followed him up the stairs, then tugged nervously at the hem of his jacket, looked up at him, and said, "Don't fight."

"Don't worry." Jiang Nian gave another assurance.

Just up onto the fifth floor, 501 was right beside the stairwell.

Looking at that brightly lit classroom, Zhang Ningzhi's social anxiety kicked in.

She only hesitated for an instant before she saw Jiang Nian had already gone in, apparently asking around for someone.

Zhang Ningzhi stood at the door watching nervously. 501 seemed to be a liberal-arts class.

In a moment, she saw Jiang Nian walk out with a boy.

The two walked straight toward her, and she immediately tensed up. Was she going to have to identify him? He looked somewhat familiar — yes, it was that boy from this morning.

Jiang Nian stopped in front of Zhang Ningzhi and asked.

"Is it him?"

Zhang Ningzhi had thought Jiang Nian might talk to the guy privately; she hadn't expected him to be this direct and bring the person right to her.

She couldn't help but swallow, and said softly.

"It's him."

At the same time, her heart was practically in her throat.

This was right at the doorway of their classroom, or the corridor between two classes — please don't fight, please don't fight! Please, how could she be this stupid—

But, to her surprise, Jiang Nian said in a stern, righteous tone.

"Hello, Zhou Haifei. I'm the vice class monitor of A403. Please don't go around harassing our class's near-985 top student like you're in heat."

"Third-floor corridor — you've seen me before, right? You're a liberal-arts class guy, and you sure do love confessing to girls in the science classes. I hope you'll behave yourself."

Zhou Haifei's face darkened. Damn it.

He'd run into a lunatic.

Fuck his mother — if he didn't follow him out of the classroom, he'd splash the entire lemon tea in his face. And smash his own phone while he was at it, then fork over some cash.

And after coming out, he had the nerve to spout this load of self-righteous nonsense.

He hated people who put on airs the most!

Damn! His luck really was shit.

The other day he'd confessed on the third floor and been rejected. The woman babbled some Ju-On nonsense — said she was already over thirty and just accompanying her son to school.

He'd thought he'd just bumped into one lunatic, but turns out this one was too!

A mother-and-son lunatic duo, right?!

Fuck fuck fuck!!

Out of the corner of his eye, Zhou Haifei saw the lemon tea with a torn corner in that guy's hand, and didn't doubt for a second that if he said anything else, the drink would end up on his face.

Gulp. He swallowed.

"Ah, i-is that so?"

"That's right, Zhou Haifei — that's a pretty nice phone. How much did you pay for it?" Jiang Nian said with a grin, arm slung around his shoulder, reaching out to grab the phone.

Zhou Haifei instinctively tightened his grip, but a great force simply took it from him.

Holy shit.

He panicked at once. "I bought it for 2399."

"I see, pretty cheap. How about I transfer you the money?" Jiang Nian shoved the phone back at him, and said word by word, "You — sell — me — the — phone."

"N-no no no, that's not necessary." Zhou Haifei instantly stuffed the phone in his pocket, his eyes clearing up. "This morning was a misunderstanding, haha. I had the wrong person."

"That's good. Actually, there are plenty of pretty girls in the science classes." Jiang Nian reached out and shook Zhou Haifei's hand, looking like a total bro.

"That Zhou Yuting from 303 is pretty good."

"Pretty, good personality, good grades, and rich too."

"R-really?" Zhou Haifei's hand bones were nearly crushed, his face pale. "Thanks for the tip, vice class monitor. I got it. But I don't really want to date right now."

"No, you do." Jiang Nian said.

Zhou Haifei's smile was uglier than crying. "Huh? I do?"

Zhang Ningzhi couldn't tell what they were doing — were they... playing matchmaker?

For some reason, hearing Jiang Nian praise that Zhou Yuting made her feel just the tiniest bit unhappy inside.
