Chapter 643

To be honest, Jiang Nian is a honest person.

Even if he has the ability, he wouldn't resort to picking locks or opening a elementary student's locker with a piece of wire.

That's too despicable.

He opened his own metal locker, took out a duck's paw, took a photo with his phone, and sent it to Wang Yuhe.

The background was the metal locker, and the photo wasn't very clear.

【The flavor of the duck's paw is really good.】

The moment he sent the message, a video call came through. After answering, Wang Yuhe's foolish face appeared on screen.

Her small face pressed against the screen, staring directly at him—perhaps she thought this was intimidating. But to Jiang Nian, it just made it easy to create a stupid meme.

"How dare you pick my lock!!"

Jiang Nian didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either—he just waved the duck's paw. "Ah, the flavor is really strong."

"Y-you you!!!"

Wang Yuhe flew into a rage, but from the camera angle, it looked like she was walking quickly. There were many pedestrians on the street, forcing her to dodge back and forth.

Every so often, the elementary student's expression would be interrupted by sudden events—it looked like she was changing faces.

It could only be said: very entertaining.

"Where's Chen Yunyun?" He wrapped the bone in a tissue—the tissue came from Li Hua's sponsorship—"Is she next to you?"

Wang Yuhe, too angry to speak to a villain, abruptly turned the camera away.

Chen Yunyun's upper body leaned into frame, blinked her eyes, then smiled and waved gently.

"You're looking for me?"

Today she wore a gray sweater coat, bathed in sunlight on the street, making her entire demeanor appear gentle.

Yunyun knows how to dress—she looks pleasing to the eye.

"Yeah." Jiang Nian nodded, realizing at the same time that it wasn't just the hundred-day pledge—college entrance exam day was drawing near.

Spring had arrived too.

Jiang Nian had originally planned to order food and ask about today's post-meal fruit, but in this instant, he changed his mind.

"Want to go lie on the lawn and soak up the sun later?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yunyun was surprised. She froze for several seconds—in her mind, Jiang Nian hardly ever left the classroom.

Every noon, rain or shine, he sat at his desk solving problems.

"O-okay... okay."

Surprise gave way to delight.

Joy sparkled in Chen Yunyun's eyes—routine campus life always needed some seasoning.

"Then we'll come find you after we wash our hair."

"Alright." Jiang Nian nodded.

At that moment, Wang Yuhe's large face filled the entire screen again, glaring directly at Jiang Nian and shouting.

"Give back the duck's paw...."

Beep-beep-beep!!!

Jiang Nian hung up the video before she could finish shouting. Dealing with elementary students, he

had a hundred methods.

And Wang Yuhe, under his harassment, grew more determined than ever.

Good—she had spirit.

Today was Friday, their hair-washing day. They wouldn't arrive quickly, so he went to the cafeteria first.

After eating, he took a casual stroll outside.

The two girls would take a long time washing their hair; if they planned to shower too, they'd have to rush back to school right before the lunch bell.

He might as well buy them some desserts first, in case they got hungry.

As for Jiang Nian, he had no interest in desserts. Passing the convenience store, he casually bought a bottle of Sprite.

As he walked down the street, someone suddenly called out to him.

"Jiang Nian."

It was Liu Yang, back from outside school. He wore a white striped shirt overcoat and vintage jeans.

Gotta say, that's pretty bold.

"Lotus Boy, falling in love really changes you," Jiang Nian's smile refused to be hidden.

"Still smoking?"

"No, I quit," Liu Yang said, slightly embarrassed. "This outfit? She bought it. I'm just wearing it."

Jiang Nian's lips twitched—he was still trying to show off.

"That's good."

Since the guy was clearly smitten, Jiang Nian naturally wouldn't say anything gloomy. He gave a faint nod and swallowed the dog food.

But he didn't envy him—outwardly glamorous, who knew what happened behind closed doors?

Maybe he's just being a dog for a woman.

This wasn't Jiang Nian's malicious speculation—it came from Li Hua and Ma Guojun's dark remarks.

Everyone's a villain; no one's innocent.

"By the way, why so many desserts?" Liu Yang turned, curious. "Who are they for?"

After half a year of interaction, he naturally knew Jiang Nian didn't like sweets.

"Oh, I bought them for Chen Yunyun and the others," Jiang Nian replied honestly. "We're meeting on the lawn later to soak up the sun."

In front of the administrative building was a large flight of steps.

Among the steps were several large lawns. On good weather days, students often came to sunbathe.

Of course, there were also many couples.

"How nice—just go out to sunbathe," Liu Yang sighed, then began complaining again.

His girlfriend refused to go to bubble tea shops. She thought watching movies was outdated, and when he asked where to go, she always said "whatever."

"Are you trying to show off?" Jiang Nian's dead-fish eyes stared.

"No, really, I'm being honest," Liu Yang said, uttering nonsense even as he humbly asked,

"Brother Jiang, do you have any good tricks?"

"Tricks?"

"Tricks for asking girls out."

Hearing this, Jiang Nian paused for a moment before speaking.

"Since boys and girls think differently, and their logic differs,

invitations always miss the mark.

Either the invitation comes at the wrong time.

Or it's too artsy—like admiring flowers or visiting exhibitions. Or too mundane—like wandering supermarkets or drinking bubble tea.

If you keep taking her out like this, she'll eventually think it's boring."

"So true, bro!" Liu Yang clapped his hands. "That's exactly me! So what should I do?"

"Switch it up," he said.

"Huh?"

"I said switch it up—that's my secret."

Hearing this, Liu Yang rolled his eyes.

"Damn!"

Jiang Nian thought for a moment and said, "Get your girlfriend to download Three Kingdoms Kill and play together to restore the Han dynasty."

"Nah, forget it," Liu Yang waved his hand.

The two parted at the Gao San building. Jiang Nian sat down on the lawn. He placed the dessert beside him, squinted his eyes.

Plop—he twisted open a Sprite.

He played with his phone for a while, then the two girls nearly ran over, panting, arriving just as the bell rang.

Chen Yunyun's face was flushed. She waved her hand, unable to speak. Her physical condition must've been worse—she immediately squatted down.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm… fine," Chen Yunyun barely managed to reply. Wang Yuhe was too stupid—she'd dragged her into a wild sprint.

Squatting wasn't good. Jiang Nian pulled her up. His motion was like helping her stand, which made her slightly embarrassed.

"I can stand on my own."

"Then I'll let go," Jiang Nian said.

Chen Yunyun:

Jiang Nian ultimately didn't let go. He turned to look at Wang Yuhe. She wore a coat, unzipped halfway.

"Great, finally… made it."

"Mm."

His gaze dropped below the girl's neck and noticed something rare—she wore a white tight-fitting top.

Her chest rose prominently, extremely eye-catching.

Wang Yuhe rarely wore clothes like this; she usually zipped them all the way up, collar neatly folded, the perfect good-student look.

Normally she just tied her hair in a casual ponytail,

but today, she must've been in too much of a hurry.

Jiang Nian averted his gaze—propriety forbade staring. This figure, in high school, could crush every other girl.

Too bad she was a bit stupid.

"Have you eaten?"

"No," both girls answered in unison. It made sense—they'd probably rushed over right after washing their hair.

The rest was just waiting, hungry, for their hair to dry slowly.

"Eat something to hold you over," Jiang Nian picked up a bag of dessert. "Bought it randomly—it came in handy."

"Food!" Wang Yuhe instantly brightened.

Chen Yunyun was more reserved.

"Thank you."

Jiang Nian sat beside them, saying nothing more. He basked lazily in the sun, idly pulling out a test paper.

Throughout the whole process, there was no hint of romance—just three people sitting together in the sun, each doing their own thing.

"Yunyun, look over there—the flowers are blooming."

"Mm, let's go take a look."

Jiang Nian looked up just as Chen Yunyun stood. Their eyes met. She smiled and extended an invitation.

"Want to come with us?"

"No," he shook his head. He felt it was too sunny, so he took off his coat and pulled it over his head. "You two go."

"Alright," Chen Yunyun picked up her phone and walked off.

After a while, the two girls returned. Chen Yunyun brought him back some petals, pointing out what kind of flower they were from.

Jiang Nian thought for a moment, then looked up and said.

"Oh right, isn't there a big patch of cherry blossoms planted in Nanjiang Park? They should bloom next month, right?"

"Mm, possibly late March, or maybe April."

Jiang Nian nodded. "Let's go see them together when the time comes."

"Mm." Chen Yunyun pressed her lips together and smiled.

Wang Yuhe saw him with his head covered, and secretly kicked him.

"WTF?"

Lunch break time quickly arrived at one-thirty.

His biological clock began to kick in, bringing a hint of drowsiness. He glanced at the two girls; both were sitting with their heads down, sunbathing.

Their half-dry hair had already become fluffy,

"Heading to the classroom?" Jiang Nian said casually. Chen Yunyun nodded and began biting a hair tie to tie up her hair.

As she raised her hand, a snow-white neck was revealed. The girl's natural scent, mingled with the smell of shampoo, drifted out.

He sniffed, and could hardly sit still.

He simply stood up directly, wrapping a jacket around his waist for modesty. While at it, he reached out and woke Wang Yuhe.

"Hey, wake up!

The elementary schooler had buried her head sunbathing and actually fallen asleep. In a place like this, she couldn't have slept for long.

"Ah!!"

Still groggy, she really thought it was morning. She stumbled a couple of steps, ready to go to the sink to brush her teeth.

The bright midday light was a little glaring.

She suddenly came to her senses — it wasn't morning now. She wasn't in the dorm either; she was sunbathing on the lawn.

Her hair had already dried completely, and had just been ruffled by Jiang Nian.

"I fell asleep?"

"What else? Hurry up and keep up." Jiang Nian took the lead, walking ahead, and turned back to urge her on, also afraid of being called to account.

Just now, he had ruffled the elementary schooler's hair.

He had even used a little of Master Ye's hidden force — enough power to take on ten — and knocked Wang Yuhe out cold.

Anyway, just run first, that's the right move.

"Oh oh.

" Wang Yuhe, half-asleep, took Chen Yunyun's hand. A gust of wind blew past and she felt a bit cold.

Looking down, she found the jacket zipper wasn't pulled up.

She casually zipped it up. As the zipper rose, her big chest was swallowed by the clothing and became flat and unremarkable.

After going upstairs, Wang Yuhe didn't forget about the duck feet.

She took out her key, found her tin locker intact. Feeling a bit dumbfounded, she instinctively unlocked it.

She counted the duck feet — not one missing.

Just as she was still thinking, a hand nimbly reached past her shoulder. It dipped into the locker and took two duck feet.

Wang Yuhe was shocked. "???"

But it was still lunch break, and the classroom was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. She didn't dare shout, and could only stare with wide eyes.

After coming back to her senses, she turned her head and found two extra duck feet in Jiang Nian's hand. The culprit was grinning smugly at her.

"You!!!"

The corner of Jiang Nian's mouth lifted, and he thought to himself that all's fair in war. Betting that Wang Yuhe wouldn't dare shout, he turned and left with a light step.

Good days, today really is a good day.

After lunch break, the classroom gradually filled with people.

"Ah~~" Li Hua lay in the corridor, yawning. "Life, it's really boring."

"Sexually repressed, right?" Jiang Nian shot him a glance. "You're in heat, looking for someone to hook up with."

"Eat shit!!"

The surrounding boys burst out laughing — "sexually repressed" was just too much.

At this moment, Lin Dong chimed in.

"I've heard that before people fall asleep, they usually have a fantasy figure they try to bring into their dreams."

Yang Qiming thought for a moment, and couldn't help but give a thumbs-up.

"Indeed."

Liu Yang, hearing this, grew curious and couldn't help but ask while holding back laughter.

"Bro, who is your fantasy figure?"

The moment these words came out, they instantly drew the attention of several people. They all turned their gazes toward Yang Qiming.

"There's nothing I can't say. It's a neighbor from when I was little." Yang Qiming scratched his head.

"Why?" Li Hua asked.

Yang Qiming hesitated for a while, then spoke up.

"Because... once she was squatting by the road waiting for a bus, and I happened to be riding my bike past there, and I saw the deep cleavage."

Everyone:

He really was repressed.

"That's it?" Ma Guojun didn't quite get it. "You could just find any website, or buy some discs, right?"

"That's not the same." Yang Qiming waved his hand. "I rode past there six times, and she didn't stand up once."

"I thought I'd gotten the better deal, but in the end, do you know what happened? The bus came, and before she got on, she turned and smiled at me."

"Holy shit!!! 7"

That line even got Li

Hua feeling it too. Just as he was about to share his own story, he saw Jiang Nian quietly tap on the screen recorder.

Pointed straight at him, perfectly centered.

"You fucking—!!"

The afternoon class was dull, the classroom atmosphere sluggish. Jiang Nian, on the other hand, was full of energy, running his hand over the test paper.

【A science comprehensive test paper with a score of 256.】

Today was the third day after the exam. Apart from Chinese, the scores for every other subject had already come out.

Math and the science comprehensive score matched the entry he'd pulled out word for word.

As for English, this time he'd scored 147.

That was already his absolute limit—just those scattered two or three points shy of a perfect score. It looked close enough to touch, but in reality it was a chasm.

The English essay could never pull off a perfect score. Either that, or some other section would lose a question, docking two or three points.

Up at the podium the teacher was going over the chemistry paper. He shot a glance at Baby Zhizhi, saw she was also zoning out, so he pinched her.

"Spacing out, are we?"

"Ah!!" Zhang Nianzhi, caught red-handed, immediately flared up in embarrassment and glared at him. "I was not!"

Jiang Nian grinned, thinking to himself that teasing a Miss was still the most fun.

A while later, a sulking Zhang Nianzhi leaned back over again. Lowering her voice, she whispered to him.

"I feel like, after the Hundred-Day Oath Assembly, it seems like…"

"What?"

"Everyone seems a little different."

Jiang Nian was puzzled. "Mm?"

Zhang Nianzhi pressed her lips together, then leaned in a little closer. "When I came in at noon today, I saw a girl crying in the hallway. Looks like she bombed the exam."

Jiang Nian thought to himself that after the Hundred-Day Oath Assembly, Gao San had indeed entered the peak showdown.

"Who was it?"
