CHAPTER 337: CHAPTER 297 IF SOMEONE INSISTS.....

"Forget it, none of this matters." Zhou Yuting sighed.

"Doesn’t matter?" Jiang Nian interrupted her.

"What do you mean?" Zhou Yuting was taken aback.

"Nothing, just a reminder before we talk." Jiang Nian lowered his eyelids slightly, "We’re not on good terms, so don’t say anything useless."

Zhou Yuting was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, but quickly adjusted her emotions.

"Fine."

After about two seconds of silence, she spoke again from within the shadows.

"Are you the clown?"

"Are you fucking kidding? You came to insult me?" Jiang Nian looked displeased, "Are you just bored and looking for someone to scold?"

"No, I’m not saying you are..." Zhou Yuting got anxious, "I mean there’s a... QQ. Nevermind, if it’s you, there’s no need to explain."

Jiang Nian’s expression remained unchanged, "byd, just guessing without explanation, right?"

With that, he turned to leave.

"Wait a minute." Zhou Yuting called for a pause.

But Jiang Nian still left without looking back. Originally, he didn’t have to come out, but why did he come out? Because the end of the month was approaching.

What I did, and then what.

Someone has to report this group. Who will this little cutie be?

Of course, Jiang Nian wasn’t only targeting Zhou Yuting.

There’s also Liu Feipeng and his friends, all of whom are idiots.

In this small place called Zhen Nan, if the mountain doesn’t move, the water does. They’ll eventually run into each other again, and when that happens, go directly after Liu Feipeng, that big idiot.

In the dark corner, Zhou Yuting watched Jiang Nian’s departing figure.

Her heart almost constantly sinking.

It’s him!

Even if the "clown" isn’t him, it’s related to him or Le Zhi.

Thinking about Le Zhi’s father’s occupation, Zhou Yuting was dumbfounded. Could Le Zhi really be acting as an undercover agent, and did she just bump into him?

On the other side, Jiang Nian returned to the classroom.

Li Hua immediately came up and asked curiously.

"What did they want with you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ningzhi, who was doing exercises, also paused her pen.

"Oh, nothing, just an old classmate asking something." Jiang Nian answered truthfully but only half-truthfully, "A small matter, what’s up?"

"Nothing, I was just wondering what to wear to the coming-of-age ceremony." Li Hua rubbed his chin, "Nian, do you have any cool suggestions?"

Zhang Ningzhi, hearing their topic shift away from Zhou Yuting, didn’t bother listening any further and continued with her homework.

As for what to wear to the coming-of-age ceremony, she definitely wouldn’t discuss it with Jiang Nian, a notorious perv.

She had long agreed with Yao Beibei to wear matching best friend outfits when the clothes they ordered online arrived tomorrow. Friendships are also super important in the last year of high school.

Actually, Li Hua had the same idea.

He wanted to wear something matching and quirky with Jiang Nian and Ma Guojun, perhaps the Fruit Special Attack outfits, instead of something plain.

"Cool suggestion, huh?" Jiang Nian thought for a moment and suggested, "Why not go without clothes?"

"Chi Shi, we need cool suggestions, not exposure!" Li Hua blushed a little, glancing at Ma Guojun, "What do you think, Old Ma?"

Ma Guojun pushed up his glasses with his middle finger, "Wear women’s clothing."

"Damn it, you’re such a perv too, wear it yourself." Li Hua felt like he was the only one taking this seriously, "Seriously, we can’t just wear anything?"

"Why not?" Jiang Nian retorted.

"I don’t want to hear it. Take it back." Li Hua pointed at Jiang Nian, "Youth, geigei, you only have one coming-of-age ceremony in your lifetime."

However, Jiang Nian, propping his head on his hand, remained unmoved with a pair of deadpan eyes.

"So?"

"Shouldn’t you go wild at least once?" Li Hua asked.

"Go wild." Ma Guojun nodded.

"Yeah, that’s why I suggested going without clothes, and you didn’t agree." Jiang Nian pointed at the big guy across the aisle, "Ma Guojun suggested cross-dressing, and you didn’t agree either."

"Damn it, are you guys even human?" Li Hua held his head in frustration.

.....

"The coming-of-age ceremony is the day after tomorrow, what are you planning to wear?" Lin Dong asked within the group.

"Probably best friend outfits." Chen Yunyun chose the most conservative approach.

Of course, she also knew some of the most liked approaches.

But there’s no way to use them in public; they can only be utilized in private settings... Open the game, lock in Cai Wenji as a support.

She didn’t particularly like playing Zhang Fei because the character model wasn’t cute.

But if someone insisted, she might give them... one chance.

"Why is everyone dressing like that, then I guess Ah Cheng and I will dress the same." Lin Dong thought for a moment and also chose the most conservative approach.

"Our group can dress the same," Wang Yuhe suggested.

"No, we don’t have enough time." Lin Dong pointed out the most crucial point, "There’s only one day left before the coming-of-age ceremony, it’s too rushed."

"Okay." Wang Yuhe pouted.

Sun Zhicheng’s mind had already completely detached from the online world. After coming back from internet chatting, Ah Cheng wanted to show off in the real world.

He wore a nonchalant look, but in reality, he had been eavesdropping since Lin Dong and Chen Yunyun began talking.

Although he wanted to continue targeting Chen Yunyun, he didn’t want to show it. He thought to himself that he’s different now after some experiences.

More humorous, with a healthier mindset, and less prone to impulsiveness.

So, he deliberately ignored Chen Yunyun and said in a deep voice.

"We could rent a suit."

"That’s an option, but if we can think of it, others can too." Lin Dong didn’t even give it much thought before dismissing it.

"With only a day left, it’s hard to find suitable matching outfits. Either they’re dirty or they don’t look good. Since the girls have already chosen their outfits, let’s dress separately."

Sun Zhicheng regretted not waking up sooner.

If he hadn’t gotten lost in online chatting, would he have already had a group outfit decided by now? Leaving a group photo in this final year of high school?

Missing this opportunity, maybe the only chance left is the graduation photo to wear matching outfits.

Class uniforms... are even uglier beyond belief.

"Then you guys choose for yourselves. I heard some boys in class are planning to rent suits," Wang Yuhe turned her head and said, "And also those Japanese-style high school uniforms for boys."

"Conan?" Chen Yunyun immediately thought of this.

Lin Dong: "...."

Sun Zhicheng: "...."

On the other side.

Li Hua asked around the class, discovering that the guys in class weren’t traditional at all. Someone rented a Scottish kilt, just like Xiao Shenyang.

Some rented small suits, costing a few dozen per day.

He looked at the photos, not fancy at all.

Shan Ji would probably like wearing this.

Yang Qiming and Huang Caicai, those two perverts, rented a set of special effects costumes, Big Monster General and Small Monster Junior Lieutenant.

Damn, really envious.

Li Hua desperately wanted to wear a set of Fruit Special Attack outfits with Jiang Nian and Ma Guojun. But unfortunately, those aren’t for humans; they’re for fruits, so the outfits are pretty abstract.

Seriously screwed, no good outfits.

But the craziest had to be Master Dong. He planned to cosplay as a two-dimensional hero. Seriously screwed, just thinking about having such an over-the-top character in class.

Li Hua shivered.

Fourth period of extended evening self-study.

Li Hua returned from outside the classroom, having taken five minutes to pee and asked around a few neighboring classes about the coming-of-age ceremony.

Senior year Olympic classes were particularly unusual, wearing anything and everything.

Some planned on wearing security uniforms, others program developer plaid shirts. Some even planned to wear construction site safety gear, making it an art performance.

There’s no denying that prospective university students with specific school and major goals are... quite wacky.

Of course, none of them dressed that way alone. Whether it was for art or attention-grabbing outfits, it was always done with good buddies in a group.

One person looks foolish, two look odd, three are crazy, four are bizarre, and five are glorious.

So, Li Hua was a bit anxious.

He had just sat down and scratched his head for a while. He slapped the big guy slumped at his desk doing problems, then tapped the guy sitting below, Jiang Nian.

"Seriously, do you guys really plan to just wear school uniforms?"

"I never said that. Do you have any good suggestions?" Jiang Nian looked up, puzzled.

"We’re all ears." Ma Guojun was also in his ’barely thinking’ mode.

"Damn you lazy bums!" Li Hua was exasperated, admitting he was the first to get anxious, "I was thinking, why don’t we get some small suits?"

Ma Guojun said quietly, "They don’t have my size."

Li Hua rubbed his face, his eyes turning red.

Fat and round like the sun.

Damn, Ma Guojun, why are you so fat!

In this crucial moment, Jiang Nian offered a new idea.

"Why not just get trench coats?"

Hearing this, Li Hua’s eyes immediately lit up.

"You know, that’s actually a good idea. I’ll check it out tomorrow afternoon to see if I can rent three."

The discussion concluded.

Actually, Zhang Ningzhi was quite looking forward to seeing what Jiang Nian would look like in a suit. She felt a slight twinge of disappointment when she heard the suggestion was rejected.

Trench coats... might be okay, but she couldn’t quite picture it.

Judging by the leader’s reaction, the guys seemed to like trench coats a lot.

Even though she didn’t quite get it.

.....

The evening self-study session ended, and the hallway was crowded.

Jiang Nian, as usual, left early. But when he got down to the third floor, he realized the people from Olympic Competition Class 4 hadn’t come out yet. Upon closer inspection, he saw that their homeroom teacher was still talking.

Seriously, picking the perfect time to talk right when it’s time to leave.

byd think they’re immortal or something?

After waiting ten minutes, just as the upstairs was almost cleared, Class 4 was finally dismissed.

Xu Qianqian, squeezed in the middle of the crowd, slowly walked out carrying a backpack. She instinctively glanced around, tilting her head as soon as she saw Jiang Nian.

"Let’s go, what are you standing around for?"

"I mean, what’s up with your homeroom teacher?" Jiang Nian complained as he joined Xu Qianqian, "Are they purposely torturing you guys?"

"Oh, she said we’ve been losing points recently." Xu Qianqian said while walking down the stairs, glancing upwards, "Our homeroom teacher said..."

She lowered her voice, deliberately waiting until they were on the second floor before continuing.

"She said the male boarders in our class never wake up on time, losing points everywhere, like a sieve. Then the boys started arguing with her, and it all got messy."

Hearing this, Jiang Nian immediately broke out in cold sweat.

Of course, while Class 4’s loss of points wasn’t entirely his fault, he... might have contributed a little.
