CHAPTER 352: CHAPTER 310: FELLOW STUDENTS, THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE TO PASS

Jiang Nian imagined the motivational guru on stage giving a passionate speech, with a group of students at his feet doing push-ups while shouting.

I want to get into xxx university.

I can do it!

Then, in a rush of excitement, he dashed onto the stage and smashed his phone.

Suddenly, he felt so embarrassed that cold sweat ran down his back.

To be honest, motivational speeches are a bit freakish at times.

He thought to himself, "Motivational master... I choose Lv Xiaobu, he’s the one everyone looks up to."

In fact, Jiang Nian had seen other schools holding adult ceremonies.

The adult ceremony at the prestigious high school in the neighboring county had a two-hour motivational speech by a guru. The people below got sunburned silly, and with a gust of wind, two adults caught a cold.

The students wore uniforms and stared blankly at the Great Sword Tomb promoting success books on stage.

And just like that, they went through the ridiculous adult ceremony, even the ritual seemed like a waste of life.

Fortunately, Zhenan Middle School wanted to save face, and it was considered mid-level in the eighteen counties. Occasionally, a few Qingbei prospects would emerge every couple of years, so they didn’t skimp on the ceremony.

The school skimps, and the students skimp too.

This is one reason, another important reason is that the branch campus next door holds non-skimpy, open events, forcing the main campus of Zhenan Middle School to compete intensely.

All the senior students were lined up, and at the end of the track stood a huge red "Dragon Gate."

A few teachers stood there chatting and laughing, holding party poppers. They occasionally glanced at the students, seemingly waiting for the first class to pass through the Dragon Gate.

The leading class was the legendary "zero class," followed by the Olympic class, parallel class, and key class.

The term "treat equally" was used, but the key class had already been arranged to stay in the corner of the playground. A group of people stood there, like a backdrop of tree planting jpg.

Class 403, being excellent in grades and a science class, was arranged by the leaders to follow directly behind the zero class humanities, counting as the first class in the Olympic class echelon.

Lao Liu grinned, his mouth corner harder to suppress than an AK-47.

He wore a delicate small suit, with small leather shoes on his feet. His face grinned crookedly, looking proudly at his class of students, a group of... big strange monsters?

Damn it, he was stunned.

Class 3 assembled and lined up was all handled by Cai Xiaoqing and Liu Yang. They were the old class committee, and Lao Liu fully trusted their abilities.

So he only came when the leader’s speech began.

Only, Lao Liu did not go down to the class but stood on the side having a lively conversation with the head of the Chinese group and the director of academic affairs.

He had just made some progress, feeling refreshed. Only now did he see what kind of weirdo creatures were hidden in his class, feeling like an opening thunder strike.

Big strange monster and small strange monster?

Lao Liu didn’t watch cartoons, but he has a kid.

"Yang Qiming, Huang Cailang, what are you two wearing?"

In the lineup, Yang Qiming proudly said.

"Teacher, this is called Tokusatsu."

Hearing this, Lao Liu intended to criticize a few words but then remembered today was the kids’ adult ceremony. After thinking about it, he decided not to spoil the mood.

"It’s... it’s actually quite nice."

"Teacher, you really know your stuff." Yang Qiming said proudly, looking at his deskmate Zhou Yuting not far away, thinking that straight girls can’t appreciate good things.

In the lineup, those who specially dressed up left their coats on their chairs. Revealing dresses, suits, trench coats, and other various adult ceremonial attire.

The Fruit Special Attack trio also wore trench coats, standing together looking quite the part.

Someone turned to look at Jiang Nian, then elbowed their companion beside them to enjoy the spectacle. Gesturing for the other to look back, gaze locking onto the boy’s figure.

Jiang Nian had a great frame, tall with meat but not bulky. His bones obviously had further room to stretch, long legs, a slim waist, and fair skin, like a model.

A well-defined face, yet appearing carefree and unruly.

He gave off a very aggressive vibe, with drooping eyes that seemed eager for interaction. Just standing in the sunlight exuded a strange sense of taboo.

"Whoa, is Lao Jiang really this handsome?"

"What’s that called again? Three parts laid-back, three parts color palette."

"He seems to be daydreaming, his gaze is tantalizing."

"Idiot, that nerd is looking at a biology test!"

The girls looked at Jiang Nian more frequently, actually throughout a semester in the same class. Basically seeing him every day, whether in uniforms or a denim jacket wasn’t special.

Just a little more handsome, but behaving like he’s from another world all the time.

Over time, the class was likely to overlook Jiang Nian’s handsome qualities. Even comparing to others in class, they wouldn’t find them ugly.

It was only when outsiders came in and suddenly brought it up... hey, you got such and such a handsome guy in your class. Then they’d suddenly realize, oh... right, he’s pretty good-looking.

Another type of moment is during events unrelated to daily school life.

Like adult ceremonies, New Year’s Day parties.

When someone suddenly changed clothes, only then would they be struck by... who’s this handsome dude? Wait, was he always this handsome?

Zhang Ningzhi heard the commotion, turned back, and looked at him.

Her eyes curved into crescents, taking advantage of her deskmate status, unabashedly waving cutely at Jiang Nian in front of the class teacher.

She thought, under the lamp, it’s dark.

Jiang Nian saw her, and he also smiled and waved at Zhang Ningzhi.

Thinking to himself, Zhizhi grew up eating a lot of "cute."

No wonder future father-in-law doesn’t like me, skip to "don’t underestimate the youth"... he thought, he must have loaded the middle-aged comeback system, so...

Damn it! Don’t underestimate the poor middle-aged!

Chen Yunyun also turned back amid the exclamations, she didn’t wave but did a small wave in front of her. Her gaze collided with Jiang Nian’s, smiling like a flower.

Sun Zhicheng instinctively paid attention to Chen Yunyun ever since she came down.

Seeing her greet Jiang Nian at this moment, he couldn’t hold it any longer.

He gulped, bitterness welling up. Ending their online chat, he never regretted, treating it as a small episode in life.

He thought of starting over, and life would become broader.

However, no one told him some things had extremely low error tolerance. A small mistake, and chasing it again would be hundreds of times more difficult than at the start.

Like carving a boat to find a sword, he wanted to return to the middle of the river for the sword. Yet the sword had long floated away with the current, with no hope of retrieving it.

With a bang, the party popper went off.

The zero class began to pass through the Dragon Gate, and the line started to move slowly.

With the broadcast music playing, everyone wore expressions of nervousness and anticipation. They hoped to leave their best state today.

Passing through the Dragon Gate initially meant going through one by one.

But some always hoped to go through the "Dragon Gate" with friends, girlfriends, or those they liked, thus occasionally there were groups of two or three.

The grade leader initially corrected them, but later estimated the time for the zero class science class to pass, the conclusion was there wasn’t enough time.

If all senior students passed one by one, this event couldn’t proceed.

So they could only use the microphone to notify students, suggesting two or three friends pass through together. The best number is two or three, don’t have too many.

Upon hearing this, the students in the back became instantly excited and started planning with buddies. Of course, sometimes cracks in friendship appeared.

Classic program, I’m not my best friend’s best friend.

So, what am I to you exactly!!! (screaming) (frantic twisting) (dark crawling)

Yang Qiming and Huang Cailang stood together, Lin Dong invited Sun Zhicheng. Tao Ran wanted to go with Furry, but unfortunately, this wish couldn’t be fulfilled.

Nie Qiqi wanted to "grow up" with the class president, just as she turned to look longingly at the class president, she suddenly found the class president gone.

Upon searching, she found Li Qingrong heading towards the boys’ side.

That direction was clearly towards Jiang Nian.

Chen Yunyun hesitated at first, but seeing the class president going, she took Wang Yuhe with her and walked towards Jiang Nian.

Zhang Ningzhi was dumbfounded, but she didn’t have time to think much and ran over with Yao Beibei.
