A few people froze, looking at the chaotic scene in the small phone shop.

"What the hell?"

After a while, Yuan Zhengchuan came out. Seeing a few familiar faces at the door, he couldn't help feeling a bit awkward.

"Everyone's here?"

Speaking, he handed Xie Zhihao a hundred and didn't say much else, waving his hand and turning to leave.

"What's he up to?" Lin Dong looked at the latter; they were all in the same class, or used to be.

Just after school, they witnessed such a dramatic scene.

Xie Zhihao scratched his head and explained.

"You know these small phone shops by the street. They don't turn on the lights for years, and they'll swindle an old man when they get ahold of one."

"He made an agreement with the old man, after refunding money, he got nine hundred, and then, you know."

Lin Dong: "???"

Sun Zhicheng: "....."

Yang Qiming: "What, part-time jobs are this intense? Aren't you afraid the shop owner might, you know, grab you all?"

Xie Zhihao pursed his lips, "That's not something I can control, after all, I'm just assisting from the sidelines."

Huang Caicai surprised, "That's a hundred just like that."

"The fall guy." Lin Dong said, "Nine hundred is to avoid the old man's heartache, giving him a hundred is to share the responsibility."

Xie Zhihao: "..."

After watching a farce, a few people left, although Yuan Zhengchuan's methods were crooked, at least the old man didn't lose out.

"Let's go have some boiled food."

"Even Yuan Zhengchuan does this kind of job, looks like he's really short on cash, did something happen?"

"Maybe it's because he's dating, got an art student girlfriend."

"WTF!" Hearing this, Yang Qiming was instantly jealous, "So poor and still dating an art student!"

The implication being, let me do it!!

Noon.

Jiang Nian entered the classroom, too lazy to go to the dorm above the cafeteria. It would be awkward if he ran into Xu Shuang.

After a while, Chen Yunyun arrived. Her freshly washed and dried hair wasn't tied up yet, softly spreading over her shoulders.

"Isn't Yuhe coming up?"

"Nope." Jiang Nian specially looked around the classroom, "I've been here for a while and haven't seen anyone."

"That's strange, where has she run off to?" Chen Yunyun said helplessly, greeted and went into the classroom.

Then she came out again, this time her hair was tied, but she heard Jiang Nian say.

"Suddenly craving for an ice pop."

Chen Yunyun: "???"

He had this thought and immediately took action, turning around to look at Chen Yunyun, "Are you coming?"

"Ah...sure."

Downstairs, walking along the avenue facing the school gate from the administration building, the not-so-talkative Chen Yunyun spoke up.

"Speaking of which, did you make some sort of agreement with the class leader?"

"Hmm?" Jiang Nian turned his head, surprised as he looked at her, "Uh, why do you ask?"

"No reason, just a hunch." Chen Yunyun threw out a line, leaving no room for continuation.

Fortunately, after a calm pause, she continued.

"Feels like..... as soon as the college entrance exam is over, you two will instantly be together, right?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian let out a sigh of relief.

Guessed right.

But only half right, the other half isn't so lucky. Just means Yunyun's imagination isn't quite enough.

After the college entrance exam, bro had a blast before, dying.

Kidding.

Don't have a blast and die.

"No, how could that be." Jiang Nian waved his hand, "After the exam, just have fun, then tidy up for the new term."

"It's not like finishing the exam means life is complete."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yunyun glanced at him. But the expression on her face seemed to speak of disbelief.

"I don't believe it."

As usual, straightforward.

"Doesn't matter if you don't believe." Jiang Nian didn't care, "Why don't you think about where to have fun after the exam."

Seeing this, Chen Yunyun couldn't help but waver.

"Really?"

"Yeah, anyway....." Jiang Nian didn't really know how to say, "Let's focus on the exam first, no need to overthink."

"Oh." Chen Yunyun had nothing more to say, her expression still calm, as if nothing had just been discussed.

The two passed through the school gate, bought an ice pop at the nearby small shop, and slipped back before the gatekeeper closed up.

On the way back, Chen Yunyun said, out of the blue.

"I'm just a bit anxious."

"Anxious about what?"

She pursed her lips, and after a long time said, "Not pretty enough."

.....

Afternoon.

The weather grew increasingly hot, the classroom stifling and silent. Only Old Liu's voice continued to echo in the room.

Suddenly, bang bang bang!!

"Hey wake up!" Old Liu knocked on the podium, "Students who are sleeping, hang in there a bit longer."

"Stand firm for the last shift, a thousand days and nights, just twenty days left."

Li Hua yawned, softly complained.

"Old Liu says things that sound good, the last twenty days don't sleep. Should we listen in earnest, do assignments?"

"Look at Zeng You, isn't he playing now?"

Upon hearing this, before Jiang Nian could respond, Zeng You at the front row suddenly turned around, slipped his phone under the table.

"Leader, take a good look at this."

"Hmm?"

Li Hua leaned in for a look, then couldn't hold back, "No way, are you watching online courses during class?"

Jiang Nian said nothing, giving a thumbs up.

"Awesome."

Zeng You immediately felt pleased, retracting his phone, "Seven hundred pointers speak smoother than six hundred pointers."

"Chi Shi!!" Li Hua was speechless, thinking, can this damn thing kick me? "Is watching this useful?"

He squinted for a moment, "You're not cramming at the last minute, can you still make it?"

"What are you talking about?" Zeng You said with disbelief, "I'm not aiming for Qinghua, just a decent university."

"Slightly bump up the score, why kill oneself over it?"

Li Hua: "...."

He punched into a pillow, but everyone has different pursuits, indeed nothing much to say.

"Fine, you're awesome."

Zeng You clasped his hands at his waist, furtively tucked his phone away. After a bit, old Liu indeed came down for a patrol.

Glanced at a few, Brother Ji gestured a hand....
