Jiang Nian couldn't be bothered to argue with the elementary school student, lest he would have to praise her against his conscience later, so he changed the topic.

"Where's Chen Yunyun?"

"Waiting for the event to end, hasn't come yet." Wang Yuhe was a bit dissatisfied; this person didn't even acknowledge her cleverness.

Must have been made stupid by the exams.

After all, Jiang Nian had always been hopeless with math. Previously, he would just tear up the test paper when he couldn't solve the questions.

Silly creature.

Jiang Nian was still thinking about what just happened, so he waited for the proctor to leave and immediately went back to the classroom to get the exam paper bags.

"Hey!"

Zhao Yiqiu reached out, seeing him in a rush, and instinctively grabbed him, "Not eating?"

"Not eating, you guys go ahead." Jiang Nian mumbled, "I have things to do this afternoon, let's meet next time."

"Alright then."

Zhao Yiqiu left the exam hall, saw Jiang Nian and a tall girl leaving, yawned, and left too.

On the other side.

Jiang Nian dragged Wang Yuhe and met up with Chen Yunyun under another building, and then went to the dormitory cafeteria together.

During lunch, he casually shared his thoughts and then watched the reactions of the two girls.

"So, what do you think?"

Chen Yunyun and Wang Yuhe exchanged looks, the former knowing it was to accommodate her, and couldn't help but purse her lips.

"Resting at a hotel would be fine, especially if it rains that day, it would be too troublesome to go back and forth."

After saying that, she added a few more words.

"If there's traffic, or the driver isn't punctual. Last-minute arrangements would also take up a lot of time."

Hearing this, Jiang Nian fell into contemplation.

"Hmm... makes sense."

Seeing this, Chen Yunyun took the initiative to say.

"Actually, I'm also hesitating. Whether or not to ride the school's bus schedule, resting back at school would be convenient."

The school had hired buses to be responsible during exams, offering free transportation for students to and from the two campuses for exams.

"Then I might as well take you." Jiang Nian said and couldn't help but frown.

This year, Zhenan Middle School's senior science students had to take exams across campuses, having no home-court advantage.

"Let's see." He said.

Chen Yunyun nodded, "Yeah, we'll see then, maybe it won't rain, or maybe the hotel will be comfortable too."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian wasn't entirely convinced.

State of mind is quite mysterious. Some people fall asleep as soon as they hit the bed, while some with poor psychological resilience are choosy about their beds.

Wang Yuhe looked at Jiang Nian, then at Chen Yunyun.

"So are we taking the car or not?"

"Take your bumpy car." Jiang Nian was a bit exasperated, and casually picked up the meat from Wang Yuhe's bowl.

"You!!!"

.....

Nighttime, evening self-study.

The answers to the third mock exams were being projected on the blackboard. As soon as the math multiple-choice came out, the class erupted.

"All correct!"

Li Hua had a smug look, tapping the test paper with his fingers, causing a word to appear in everyone's mind.

Celebrating triumph, but in a derogatory sense.

Zeng You lifted his test paper with a clatter, "Leader, the third mock exam was this easy, what are you showing off for?"

"Did you get them all right too?"

"What else?"

"Chi Shi!!" Li Hua felt annoyed, "This test was too easy, couldn't differentiate anyone."

Zeng You: "...."

"Hua, will you die if you don't show off?" Jiang Nian, propping his head with his hand, looked at Li Hua and let out a cold laugh.

"Not die, but feel uncomfortable."

Li Hua replied with a cheeky grin, then returned to his seat and said, "Nian, do you think there will be bonuses for high scores in the college entrance exam?"

This sort of touched Jiang Nian's blind spot, he shook his head and said.

"You'd have to ask Old Liu."

Zhang Ningzhi pursed her lips and, adorably said, "I know that if you get into Qingbei, there are bonuses."

Li Hua asked, "How much?"

"How would I know?" Zhang Ningzhi was displeased, "But I heard that the town and clan would also give money."

"That sounds right." Li Hua patted Zeng You and Huang Fang, "Do your villages give out money too?"

Zeng You: "If it's for a top university, the village gives two thousand, the town hall gives three thousand, not sure about the town government."

Li Hua's mouth dropped, letting out a "Whoa."

"That much?"

After saying that, he turned to Huang Fang.

"What about your place?"

Huang Fang turned and thought for a while, "About the same, but we're poor, so it's not that high."

"That's still quite a lot." Li Hua lamented, "Dang it! Why am I not from a village!"

This statement was quite bizarre.

Huang Fang and Zeng You were a bit speechless, each mocking him, making Li Hua's face turn from green to purple.

"You're such a beast!"

"Indeed."

"I..." Li Hua knew he was in the wrong, and could only lay on the desk mourning the five thousand yuan he lost.

Or maybe it was ten thousand.

"As if mourning a parent!" Dutiful son Li Hua exclaimed, and after a while, he came back to his senses.

"Huh?"

"Nian, why aren't you saying anything?"

Jiang Nian was as calm as a lotus, hearing this, he couldn't help but smile faintly, "Sorry, I've got it all."

"What do you mean?"

"My family also contributes to some fund in the village. It seems like, being in the village, I too can get a share."

"How much?"

"Hmm... that's hard to say, depends on which school, but it would only be more than Zeng You's amount."

"Chi Shi Chi Shi!!!"

The evening self-study was tedious, and Jiang Nian had already checked all the answers, so he took out his test papers to write, furiously cramming.

Zhang Ningzhi turned to take a look, her expression immediately turning serious.

"You've checked all the answers?"

Jiang Nian lightly said, "Didn't get many wrong."

Zhang Ningzhi: "...."

The gap in achievements between her and Jiang Nian was too vast, and their future was destined not to be in the same school, not even neighboring ones.

In the short term, they could maintain via videos and in-person meetings.

But...

Over time, because of course reasons, the frequency of meetings would shorten, possibly not even seeing each other for a month.

Once met again, Jiang Nian might have been charmed away by a vixen.

After all, a sneaky cat has little self-control.

"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Nian, seeing Zhizhi's worsening expression, was a bit puzzled, "Not feeling well somewhere?"

"Hmph!! None of your business!"
