"You can call me mom."

"Does it work?"

Chen Yunyun: "...."

Listening to their conversation, she couldn't help but feel a bit overwhelmed. Most likely learned from Jiang Nian, always up to no good.

"Duanwu holiday starts next Sunday, a total of three days. I'm also hesitating whether to go home for a visit."

"You should go." Wang Yuhe widened her eyes. "Why not go back, rest for three days and come back."

"It would interrupt my revision." Chen Yunyun said.

"Can't you revise in bed?" Wang Yuhe didn't understand, "We can video call each other to supervise."

Chen Yunyun: "..."

"Call with me, Wang Yuhe always falls asleep first." Chai Muying raised her hand; she planned to go home.

After speaking, she also advised.

"Yunyun, you should go home and take a break. You've been under a lot of stress recently, constantly being tense isn't good."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yunyun thought for a moment and agreed.

"Okay."

She had put too much pressure on herself, although her grades went up, returning to the dormitory she didn't dare to relax.

Always thinking about catching up with Wang Yuhe.

Even the teachers noticed, Qianbao had a heart-to-heart talk with her, and also gave her some small packets of dried fruits and snacks.

Chen Yunyun found it a bit funny.

Perhaps in Qianbao's eyes, they were just kids, and as long as they had some snacks, they'd be happy again.

As school was about to dismiss, the three of them walked back together.

On the way, they ran into Yu Zhiyi, the group of girls walked a section together. Only then they heard there was a dormitory fight downstairs.

Wang Yuhe turned to look at Yu Zhiyi.

"Why?"

Yu Zhiyi pursed her lips upon hearing this.

"They're not getting along in the dorm, reportedly arguing about noise at night when going to the bathroom disturbing rest."

The girls were shocked after hearing this.

"That exaggerated?"

"Yeah, but the real exaggeration comes later..." Yu Zhiyi said a bunch, leaving the three girls stunned.

"Now the person has gone back home, supposedly to rest for a week, returning after the Duanwu Festival."

Chen Yunyun and friends looked at each other, given the special circumstance, they could only say they understood the situation for both sides.

Nothing left but sighs.

Chai Muying said, "Thankfully our class doesn't have such issues, otherwise...sigh, hope everyone gets along well."

Chen Yunyun nodded, "Our dorm mates are all nice."

Wang Yuhe said, "Just buy a few small cakes and everyone won't argue."

Yu Zhiyi thought about it, if she encountered such a situation, she could seek advice from Jiang Nian.

This way, she wouldn't end up going home.

....

After lunch dismissal.

Jiang Nian met up with Xu Shuang outside school; a while later, Zhao Yiqiu arrived, delayed by the teacher.

"Let's go, let's eat."

The Daoist priest's enthusiasm for food was, as always, "By the way, are you free next week for the Duanwu Festival?"

"For what?" Jiang Nian leaned back tactically.

"To eat, of course." Zhao Yiqiu, with an obvious expression, "Anyway, we're not far, let's eat together."

Jiang Nian: "...."

"Let's see. I'll probably be self-studying in the classroom. If the cafeteria is closed, we'll eat outside at West Gate."

"That committed?"

"I'm used to it; it feels strange not to do exercises for a day."

Xu Shuang walked beside them, but said nothing. Her stress wasn't small, but a meal appointment could alleviate anxiety.

Not knowing what to say, she simply said nothing.

During lunchtime, Jiang Nian returned to the classroom, took out a chemistry paper, finished it in forty minutes.

Took a nap, then strolled the corridors once the bell rang, chatting idly with Liu Yang and others.

The lingering anxiety instantly vanished.

The afternoon was still about discussing papers, very slow. Basically, for one question, three or four other types would typically be connected.

So by the end of three periods, only half of the science paper had been discussed.

The last period of small self-study, Old Liu came.

"Here's the thing, starting today, the fourth period of evening self-study is canceled, everyone go home and rest early."

"Ah also, if any student with excessive pressure can approach me, or apply to suspend evening or morning self-study."

As soon as the words fell, everyone erupted.

"What the hell?"

"Did I hear right, we really can skip evening self-study?"

"Feels like I've studied myself dizzy, hallucinated. Let me pinch your cow tits to see if it hurts."

"Chi Shi! You fat fool!"

Old Liu hurriedly left, saying as he departed, "Ah well, I have more work to do, look for me if there's anything."

"Whoa whoa whoa!! Really no need for self-study." Li Hua jumped up, "Nian, what do you think?"

"Sitting and watching." Jiang Nian reacted calmly, "I do exercises at home too, might as well stress you guys out in the classroom."

"That damn Chi Shi!! Beast!" Li Hua regretted asking him, then patted Zeng You.

"You..."

He remembered Zeng You's theory, that applying leave isn't as good as sneaking out to play, and swallowed his words.

Fangfang...was also a grind hound.

Zhang Ningzhi...this person would definitely follow Jiang Nian, probably wouldn't apply for leave, as for indecisive Wu Jungu.

Forget it, nobody from the group was leaving.

"Old Ma, would you apply?"

"Apply for a few damns!" Ma Guojun adjusted his glasses, scholarly and amiable, "Can't play games even if I go home."

Upon hearing, Li Hua sighed.

"Sigh."

After school in the afternoon, Jiang Nian completed the paper. Free-handed, he looked towards the back row.

"Qingqing."

"Hmm." Li Qingrong looked up at him, holding a classical Chinese version of "Journey to the West".

The words Jiang Nian originally intended to say were stuck in his throat at once.

"Why are you reading this?"

Li Qingrong glanced at him, calmly said, "Finished the paper, no homework left, passing the time."

Jiang Nian: "..."

Fuming, the biggest grind hound is actually the class leader!!

Then he hesitated and asked, "Are you still coming for evening self-study?"

Li Qingrong: "Why?"

"Nothing."

Jiang Nian shook his head, "Just casually asking, Old Liu said you could apply, but you finished the paper."

"I could buy another set." Li Qingrong glanced at him, "Better than facing my sister."

Uh.....this.

Jiang Nian remembered Senior Bai You, thinking indeed. Li Lanying was pretty but her personality was truly nasty.

Veiled malice, honeyed poison.

"Alright."

Upon hearing, Li Qingrong looked up and stared at him briefly.

"Am I affecting you here?"

"Huh?" Jiang Nian broke into a cold sweat, thinking what the hell, "Affecting...affecting what?"

"Nothing." Li Qingrong got up, planning to dine with Cai Xiaoqing and others, "Leaving."

....

At night, the classroom was instantly short of many people.

Luo Yong returned home, originally wanted to apply for a week off. But Old Liu refused, fearing he'd die in his rented apartment.

In the end, instead, was approved to skip evening self-study.

Liu Yang was also absent, Lotus Boy went home to play. At least won't be appearing for a week, will appear next Wednesday.

After all, he was a day student, relatively free.

Tao Ran left as well, probably going to a comic convention. But only applied for two days, upon return, has to continue being academic commissioner.

Others wanting to apply for leave, some were approved, some not.

"Everyone left huh?" Lin Dong was surprised, looking at the empty seats next to him, "Ah Cheng isn't coming for self-study either?"

Sun Zhicheng who just arrived: "...."

"Brother Dong, just late."

"Oh oh."

Lin Dong responded, then couldn't help but sigh, "Feels kind of strange, kind of lonely."

"Alright, only about ten people left." Sun Zhicheng sat down, felt the classroom was more spacious.

"Maybe they'll come back once the novelty worn off."

Lin Dong nodded, "Indeed."

Group Six.

"Oh my! Your group is this intense?" Yao Beibei came over excitedly, hoping to grab a long-term seat.

Only to find other groups had one or two empty seats.

Only Group Six.

Full!!

"Doesn't anyone want to go home and rest?" she looked shocked, then checked the back row, also full.

Huang Fang shook her head, continued to focus on writing questions.

"Classroom efficiency is high."

Zeng You looked up, "Feels more immersive playing games here in the classroom, sometimes playing hide and seek with Ji Ming."

Wu Jungu looked up, slightly awkward.

"I saw everyone staying, so..."
