Chapter 13: Daddy

Combined sciences 210, averaging 70 per subject.

In the competition class, that's only average, but in the parallel class it's heaven-defying. Combined sciences alone could rank in the top ten, even top five.

Out of six subjects, five have their health bars flashing red.

Someone diligent took the score sheets of the five subjects, added them up, and made a ranking. Currently, among the top five, there's a name that has never appeared before.

Jiang Nian, 432 points, ranked second.

The lopsided-score war god Wang Jie ahead of him had 210 in combined sciences, 87 in Chinese, 140 in math, totaling 437.

Zhou Yuting ranked third, balanced across all subjects. Combined sciences was an over-performance at 200, Chinese average at 90, math 110, totaling 400.

This is the norm in the science parallel class—weak foundation, severe subject imbalance.

In the afternoon, Jiang Nian applied medicine to Xu Qianqian.

Song Xiyun had been squatting beside them, watching with a grin, a shy little smile on her face. Whenever Jiang Nian rubbed a bit, Song Xiyun would go hee-hee-hee, like a little mouse.

"I say, girl, are you in heat?" He was getting a bit fed up.

"Hmph hmph, Qianqian, listen to him—hasn't a shred of propriety." Song Xiyun threw herself on Xu Qianqian acting coquettishly, putting on the air of an empress about to champion her maid.

"He's always been like this. Just don't provoke him."

"Hm? I get it now, kept boy."

Xu Qianqian couldn't hold it together either. She pinched Song Xiyun and said irritably,

"What are you saying!"

"Hee-hee." Song Xiyun watched with great interest, then turned to ask Jiang Nian, "Still say he's not a kept boy? He's already applying medicine for her. I've only seen this scene in romance dramas."

"Watch fewer dramas. No saving you." Jiang Nian stared with dead-fish eyes.

"Jiang Nian, do you like Qianqian?"

Hearing this, Jiang Nian's hand paused mid-motion, and Xu Qianqian's cheeks flushed an almost imperceptible crimson in an instant.

"Yunyun!"

"Why do you ask that?" Jiang Nian said.

"Because usually only couples do this. Otherwise, why would you?" Song Xiyun said with a grin. She just wanted to watch the show, and the more she watched, the more she shipped it.

"Oh, because she calls me daddy, you call me daddy, even if you twist your ankle I'll still massage your feet." Jiang Nian didn't care in the slightest.

Xu Qianqian couldn't take these two anymore. Just as she was about to stop them, she suddenly heard a crisp—

"Daddy."

The air froze at that moment. Jiang Nian and Xu Qianqian both turned to look at Song Xiyun.

Song Xiyun blinked her eyes, looking at the two of them with a face full of shy bashfulness.

"I just... wanted to liven up the atmosphere."

Darn it! The atmosphere got even weirder, okay!

After finishing the medicine, Jiang Nian left, leaving Xu Qianqian solemnly explaining things to Song Xiyun. Like, it's not a special relationship, just a math transaction.

Song Xiyun: "(? >?
