Tuesday afternoon, the last class.

The language teacher Dai Yongquan handed out the Chinese test papers and instructed the students to work on them, then hurried off to the calligraphy room in building 4.

In the back row, the four sat together.

Chen Siyu was determined to realize the rivalry among women, insisting on studying diligently for a day, and now, she’s still persevering!

This willpower moved Tongtong, and she almost wanted to continue competing with Siyu to see who was more diligent.

Jiang Ning scanned with his Divine Sense, oh, it turned out the one studying in class 8 wasn’t Chen Siyu, but her older sister Chen Siqing.

What a crafty woman, daring to create a false image now, who knows how she’ll play with fire in the future.

The least capable Siyu wasn’t present, making the four-seated area rather lonely.

Sister Chen Siqing’s personality wasn’t as lively as her sister’s, she belonged to the passive and introverted type, often needing her sister to give her a push.

With exams approaching, the class atmosphere was somewhat restless.

Jiang Ning was carving wood again, Xue Yuantong’s bright eyes, she said, "Jiang Ning, I have a question."

Faced with Tongtong’s silly question, Jiang Ning’s gaze crossed the window, looking at the western sunset, he replied, "If you’re bored, we can go for a walk."

Jiang Ning has always been a good student who follows the rules, attending class diligently every day, with few instances of skipping.

Xue Yuantong noticed Jiang Ning’s slight change in expression, she crossed her arms, hummed, "Really no choice, I’ll accompany you for a stroll."

Thus, the two quietly left the classroom and walked out to the square, recently cleaned by the school, where all the snow had melted, leaving only the cold air declaring the winter season.

Fourth Middle School now advocates for diverse development, even during class time, the square still had scattered students attending calligraphy, practicing vocal arts, and exercising sports students...

"Where should we go?" Xue Yuantong became baffled after exiting, only able to honestly follow Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning: "Let’s take a look at the gym the school has set up, I heard there’s a couch and a sausage grill inside."

Xue Yuantong’s eyes lit up: "Let’s go quickly."

With a target in mind, she dragged Jiang Ning, eagerly heading toward the school gym.

The gym was easy to find, located on the first floor of building 4.

Passing the stairwell, seven or eight sports students were jumping steps; despite the cold weather, they were sweating on their foreheads.

Class 7’s Zhao Jinyang was among the sports students training, he saw Jiang Ning’s figure entering the gym.

Zhao Jinyang once shared a class with Tang Fu and was considered a major asset during sports day.

He and Tang Fu knew each other for a long time, mutual rivals, unconsciously forming bonds.

At one point, he sought to establish prestige in class 7, almost claiming the position of class 7’s male leader with his muscular physique.

Later, he met a man, Cui Yu.

He bet with Cui Yu, winning the dance performance rights of class 8’s Four Beauties, initially thinking he would become class 7’s strongest.

That day, he witnessed the dance of the Four Golden Flowers.

Zhao Jinyang’s brilliant dream was shattered by the Four Golden Flowers, making him a laughingstock ever since.

After the end of freshman year, Tang Fu was promoted to the experimental class, leaving Zhao Jinyang without a partner.

In the subsequent small dining table arrangement, Tang Fu ended up at the same table as Jiang Ning, dealing another blow!

...

The school’s gym, whether intentionally or not, had a sausage grill at the counter, filled with tantalizing Volcanic Stone Roasted Sausages; who could resist such temptation?

yuan for one, 5 yuan for two.

Xue Yuantong spontaneously spent 5 yuan, giving one Volcanic Stone Roasted Sausage to Jiang Ning, and asked the front desk staff to sprinkle some spices.

Xue Yuantong sighed: "To me, it’s just two sausages, but for Dongdong, he’d have to work hard for a round trip."

Jiang Ning: "Shall we share some with Dongdong?"

Xue Yuantong flatly denied: "No, you should later urge him to work harder."

Jiang Ning also took two cans of Assam Milk Tea from the warming cabinet, spending 8 yuan.

The two sat on the sofa to rest; the indoor heating was quite sufficient, far more comfortable than the classroom.

Jiang Ning enjoyed tea and sausages while watching the students exercise in the gym, thoroughly relishing it, as time seemed to slow.

After finishing her food, Xue Yuantong clapped her little hands and said, "It’s time for a bit of exercise."

She raised her foot, slowly moving toward the equipment area, her masterful steps making the nearby female student taking pictures give her space.

Jiang Ning leisurely followed behind her; with a flick of his finger, Mana swept over the equipment, clearing surface dust, bacteria, and sweat stains.

Xue Yuantong had a good eye, she chose the bench press area, while a wheat-skinned female student seriously assessed her, unable to resist speaking: "Are you playing?"

She was Hu Mengqing from class 4 of the third year, who once lost to Yang Sheng in the women’s 800 meters at the sports meet.

Xue Yuantong: "Just trying casually."

"Okay." Hu Mengqing found a Smith bench press rack nearby.

While Xue Yuantong pondered how to exercise, a commotion ensued outside; previously exercising sports students at the stairwell poured into the gym for warmth.

Those with more money bought sausages and milk tea, whereas most without money simply watched, preparing to eat at the cafeteria after this class.

Zhao Jinyang wasn’t currently a sports student, as the teacher felt his academic performance was acceptable, suggesting he focus on academics.

But Zhao Jinyang aspired to sports, as Tang Fu was in the sports team!

Now entering the ’quasi-sports student’ realm, Zhao Jinyang, for the sake of appearances, painstakingly spent twenty yuan, buying Volcanic Stone Roasted Sausages for his buddies, becoming a leading figure!

Cheers thundered around him, whereas Jiang Ning’s side seemed rather lonely.
