If I had known earlier, I would have quit while I was ahead.
Li Qingrong sipped slowly, ignoring him. Watching him dawdle, he finally returned with a cup of tea.
Glug glug.
Jiang Nian deliberately made loud noises as he drank tea, sneakily glancing at the class monitor, sighing deeply after every sip.
Li Qingrong said, "Paper."
"For the bathroom?"
Li Qingrong: "...."
"To wipe my hands."
"Oh, okay." Jiang Nian stood up, didn't ask the owner for cheap paper, and went next door to buy some.
Soft and tender, top-grade casting material.
Li Qingrong watched him leave, a smile inadvertently forming at the corners of her mouth. She couldn't help but chuckle as she thought of his recent actions.
When Jiang Nian returned, a dish had already been served.
Missing the imported mineral water, he lost his appetite. After hurriedly gulping down a few bowls, he left once he finished the dish.
....
Before noon break.
Wang Yuhe was standing in front of the metal cabinet, cautiously surveying her surroundings. Only then did she open the cabinet and count the duck feet one by one.
"Hmm?" Chen Yunyun looked puzzled.
"I'm counting, to see if he took any." Wang Yuhe whispered and began carefully checking.
Chen Yunyun helplessly said, "You've locked it up, how could he take them?"
"He has a way!" Wang Yuhe said.
"Alright." Chen Yunyun didn't argue, turned to glance at the classroom, "Hmm...he doesn't seem to be here."
"He might be hiding behind the door." Wang Yuhe seriously said, "As soon as I let my guard down, he'll pounce."
"Rip open the bag and eat all my duck feet."
Chen Yunyun: "...."
These two are so childish, but she can't guarantee Jiang Nian won't do such a thing, it's even highly likely...
He really could do that.
"By the way, did you give him the badminton racket?" Chen Yunyun suddenly remembered and asked.
"I see the racket is still hanging by your spot."
"He got one." Wang Yuhe said.
"Hmm?"
"The second-place winner gave it to him, and he even came to flaunt it!" Wang Yuhe was so angry, she wanted to hit him.
The two of them have rackets that are twice the price of the school prize.
Before the competition, the two girls agreed that if they made it into the top two, they would give a racket to Jiang Nian.
Keep a thermos as a backup in the dorm.
"Second place..." Chen Yunyun recalled, it was a girl taller than herself, "Do they know each other?"
"Yes!"
"Oh, I see..." Chen Yunyun pursed her lips, height is a disadvantage, the other girl is also quite good-looking.
Her entire aura suggests she was raised in wealth.
"Do you think he's infuriating?" Wang Yuhe, with pure thoughts, kept complaining, "He even flaunted it."
"It irritated me so much that I didn't give it to him, even though I tried hard!"
But after speaking, she didn't think much about it. She returned her mind to the cabinet and decided to change to a combination lock.
"Yunyun, what do you think I should set as the password?"
Upon hearing, Chen Yunyun snapped back.
"Birthday perhaps."
"No, he'll guess that." Wang Yuhe said, "He has the info sheet, he could unlock it with just a glance."
"Got it!"
Chen Yunyun was indifferent to the matter, silently returning to her seat. Resting her chin, she tried to do exercises, feeling a bit distracted.
The weather outside was sunny, without a cloud in the sky.
She stared into space, her thoughts shapeless like clouds.
Meanwhile.
Jiang Nian was in a battle with physics problems, after a long time without making progress, he instinctively wanted to check the answers.
His hand moved, but then he realized.
This wasn't his test paper, but the enhancement workbook bought by the class monitor.
"Sigh."
Li Qingrong sat not far away, reading a magazine in her hands. Upon hearing, she glanced sideways at him.
"Finished writing?"
"Need to pee." He stood up.
Li Qingrong: "...."
Since entering, this person has been sighing continuously. After being stared at a few times, he finally started honestly answering questions.
His mind was focused, but his hands were not.
She just sat beside him and watched, but felt a hand crawling on her leg, making her speechless.
Now, the two kept a distance.
"Then go ahead."
"Okay." Jiang Nian nodded, walked a bit, then returned, "Qingqing, do you need to pee?"
Li Qingrong looked up, rolling her eyes at him.
"Not urgently."
This was truly speechless.
"Okay, I saw you drank a lot of water." Jiang Nian said, "I was afraid you wanted to but were too embarrassed to say."
Li Qingrong lifted her eyes and said lightly.
"No."
"That's good." Jiang Nian ran to turn on the water and casually glanced at his phone. Wang Yuhe had sent a message.
"I changed the password lock. [Image] (smug) (funny face)"
Jiang Nian couldn't be bothered to look; elementary school students are really immature. A mere four-digit password lock, and she thinks she can keep me out?
To deal with her, I've got three hundred...
Forget it.
He opened Chen Yunyun's chat and glanced at her message, which mentioned a badminton racket.
Huh?
That kid's racket was originally meant to be a gift for me?
This made Jiang Nian feel a slight pang of guilt. He had judged a noble heart with a petty mind.
A bit touched, he decided to steal fewer of her duck feet next time.
Jiang Nian thought for a moment and replied to Chen Yunyun.
"Oh, really?"
"I was actually thinking of tricking Wang Yuhe into giving me her racket. Didn't expect a friend to send me one first."
He finished running the water and was about to leave.
Buzz!
Chen Yunyun suddenly replied, "Yeah, well, your friend sounds nice. We could play together next time."
"Never mind, we're not that close," Jiang Nian typed. "I'm off campus, doing some odd jobs."
"Mainly finding work from her, short-term partnership. No personal ties, too presumptuous to invite."
Chen Yunyun replied instantly: "(Huh?) What?"
"You said last time you were fooling around and rented a studio. I thought you'd given up, but you actually did it?"
Splash, Jiang Nian washed his face. Leaving the bathroom, he typed a reply.
"Just didn't get much use out of the studio."
Chen Yunyun: "Oh, I see. (Cute)"
Jiang Nian found it odd; she seemed in a good mood. Did she find money on the street?
Ending the chat quickly, he returned to the dining table.
"Sigh."
Li Qingrong lifted her eyes, put down the magazine. She got up from the sofa and walked toward him.
Jiang Nian was delighted and asked eagerly.
"Qingqing, what's up?"
"I'm going to the bathroom."
"Oh." His eyes went dull instantly. So she just drank too much water? Going to the bathroom seems overly polite.
If we went together, it would save water, wouldn't it?
Life's perpetual lament: water flows endlessly eastward.
Is it left-handed or right-handed in the southern hemisphere?
After ten minutes, Jiang Nian finished the exercises. He left the ones he couldn't do for the class monitor to help with later.
This is how being less capable works, always in an inferior position.
One day, when his grades surpass the monitor's, he'll be the one explaining things to Li Qingrong.
Li Qingrong glanced at them and began explaining the problems to him.
Suddenly, she paused.
"Stop fidgeting and listen to the problems."
"Oh, oh." Jiang Nian pulled back his hand, clapped twice, "This restless hand, so hyperactive."
Li Qingrong: "..."
Jiang Nian restrained himself a bit and focused on two of the problems he didn't understand. The last one was a problem he could solve.
The class monitor didn't skip it and explained another variation.
Jiang Nian listened absentmindedly, his hand started to twitch again. Denim feels smooth, nice to the touch.
"Is it comfortable?"
"Comfor....." Jiang Nian got stuck halfway and pulled his hand back, "Ahem, this hand of mine is really...."
Li Qingrong rolled her eyes at him and continued explaining the problems.
"Listen carefully now."
"Okay."
Jiang Nian didn't regret touching it; if he didn't do it himself, was he supposed to wait for the class monitor to initiate? That would be a bit sci-fi.
To be honest, he really learned something this time.
And got a good feel.
But he didn't dare go too far, afraid of making Qingqing angry. If she really ignored him afterward, he'd regret it.
One-thirty.
Li Qingrong stopped explaining, put down her pen to let it rest, and got up to close the balcony curtains.
"Are you going to sleep in the guest room?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian looked up.
"Uh... no need, the living room is fine."
"Okay."
Li Qingrong brought a pillow from the room, handed it to Jiang Nian, and placed her own pillow on the sofa.
The rest area was separated by some distance.
Jiang Nian got up, feeling sleepy too. He was about to find a spot to lie down when he saw Li Qingrong coming toward him again.
Oh, going to turn on the water again.
However, standing in the middle of the dim living room, just as he was about to yawn, Li Qingrong suddenly hugged him.
