2:00 PM.

Jiang Nian woke up from the exclusive dorm of Class Zero and couldn't help but remark how handy this privilege was.

Suddenly, the sound of a key turning echoed.

"Huh?"

He was stunned for a moment, then realized who it was. It must be Xu Shuang, he checked his phone.

Sure enough, there was a new message; he was asleep and didn't see it.

He got up to open the door, and it was raining outside the hallway. Xu Shuang wore a thin shirt jacket and looked slightly surprised.

"You're here?"

"Yeah, forgot to check your message," Jiang Nian replied, "It was raining at noon, too lazy to go back to the classroom."

Xu Shuang nodded in understanding.

"Since you're here, it saves some trouble. I brought some things you might use."

Jiang Nian: "???"

What could it be, so mysterious?

His gaze shifted down to the item Xu Shuang was holding. It was a bag unfolded to reveal a blue air conditioning blanket.

"Ah?"

Seeing this, Xu Shuang explained.

"Last time I came here, I noticed you only had a mat. I thought with the rain these days, you might need this."

Jiang Nian was stunned, hesitating for a moment.

"Uh... thanks."

He didn't refuse; an air conditioning blanket was nothing for Xu Shuang, she just casually gave it.

Rather than decline, accepting it directly seemed more appropriate.

"Okay." Xu Shuang handed over the item, feeling slightly awkward, "I'll grab some milk."

Saying that, she headed to the fridge. The moment she opened it, her face felt less hot.

Damn Qiuqiu, saying such weird things.

Xu Shuang got her milk and had no reason to stay longer. She smoothly bid Jiang Nian goodbye and turned to leave.

"Bye-bye."

Downstairs, Zhao Yiqiu was squatting in a daze. Seeing Xu Shuang come down, she quickly approached, asking persistently.

"Boss, why did it take so long?"

"He's upstairs."

"Huh?" Zhao Yiqiu was stunned, "Then why not chat a bit more, exams aren't coming immediately."

"Nothing to talk about," Xu Shuang avoided.

She was afraid Zhao Yiqiu would suggest something cheeky again; she couldn't keep up with her crazy pace.

"Let's go, head back to the classroom first."

"Oh."

.....

Jiang Nian tidied up his things and went straight to the exam hall. The last session of the afternoon mock exams, it was English.

He saw Dong Que while going upstairs, so he greeted her.

"Good afternoon."

"Hmm, what a coincidence," Dong Que walked alongside him upstairs, but they had to part ways on the second floor.

"Chi Shi!!"

He saw Li Hua going up, who looked jealous, "You're such a big brute, I'll keep watching you."

"Watch what?"

Jiang Nian yawned, casually said, "Sorry for shattering your wild dreams." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Never taking any action, that's Li Hua's code.

"Chi Shi Chi Shi!!"

"I say, are you going to manage?" He teased, "If the class leader finds out, you're done for."

"I didn't do anything."

"Who believes that?"

"My heart is clear..." Jiang Nian said halfway, then realized, "What's the point of explaining to you."

Li Hua picked his nose and added another comment.

"Dong Que seems to like you, I have a feeling. Before the college entrance exam, she will definitely 'that thing' with you."

"What thing is that?" Jiang Nian was curious.

"Express her feelings or let you take a bite," Li Hua said, starting to grit his teeth again.

"If that's true, you should just die then!"

Jiang Nian chuckled, "Hua, your imagination is quite creative."

"Isn't it?"

"Only you think so," he said, unconsciously arriving outside the exam hall, seeing people already lining up.

"Come on, let's go into the hall."

"Shoot, the teacher came so early?" Li Hua regretted it, had he known, he would have come earlier to jot down a few words.

Perhaps someone might ask, what about the college entrance exam?

Write for the college entrance exam too!

Two or three words won't change anything, the faint pencil marks in the corners provide a bit of psychological comfort.

"Planning to cheat?" Jiang Nian turned, slyly smiled.

"Chi Shi!" Li Hua grumbled, talking about the scholar's matters, mentioning college exams but not writing.

The afternoon passed by quickly, the exam was over.

It was raining outside, Li Hua was eager to eat, so he handed Jiang Nian his things to take back to the classroom.

Li Hua: "I'm off."

Jiang Nian: "Brute."

He was somewhat speechless, but he had to return to the classroom anyway, so he didn't fuss much, just packed up and left.

The classroom had few people, didn't see Li Qingrong.

Jiang Nian glanced around, seeing Wang Yuhe standing on the podium looking at something, so he went over to ask.

"Where's Yunyun?"

Still the same, ask Yuhe about Yunyun.

Wang Yuhe looked up, calmly said, "She went to grab something with Chai Muying, I'm waiting for her to eat."

Oh, Chai Muying.

An unofficial member of the close friends group, she seemed to have multiple roles. Occasionally seen with Yu Zhiyi.

"Oh, that's right." Jiang Nian didn't mind, "By the way, are you guys going to eat later?"

"Yeah." Wang Yuhe looked up.

She still had her mind on hotpot, two people eating would be too extravagant. Seeing Jiang Nian mention it, she showed anticipation.

"So, wanna go have hotpot later?"

"Hmm?" Jiang Nian leaned back tactically, seeing her looking shy, "You really want to eat?"

He didn't mind, eating whatever is the same.

Just finished the exam, going to evening self-study or not is the same. It's all about checking answers, and he won't get many wrong.

"Nope." Wang Yuhe naturally wouldn't admit, shook her head, "Just casually asking."

"Then not going."

"You!!"

Wang Yuhe was furious, thinking he was definitely doing it on purpose. But she wouldn't give in, so she said again.

"You do want to go!"

"Don't want to go." Jiang Nian shook his head, "Even though it's been raining, who eats hotpot in summer?"

"Some do!" Wang Yuhe insisted, "Lots of people eat hotpot in summer, the restaurants are always open."
