Stowing the graduation photo into the schoolbag, the class dismissal bell rang right on time.
Su Kexi left the classroom, and the room instantly became boisterous. Some girls stared blankly at their graduation photos, clearly not very happy.
"Sure enough, before graduation everyone was eager to just get the exams over with, but now that the exams are actually here, they're reluctant to let go." Chen Dong turned around and knocked on Shen Nian's desk. "Are you reluctant to part with me?"
"A little." Shen Nian looked melancholic. The moment he thought about not having a rag to wipe his hands on after coming back from the bathroom in the future, he felt like the sky was falling.
"I'll miss you too, baby. Seeing as you told the truth, I'll go to the tuck shop and bring you a bottle of cola in a bit."
"Fuck me, who the hell is your baby?"
"Baby, baby."
"Your mom!" Shen Nian bared his teeth, chasing after the cheeky Chen Dong out of the room.
If his fist didn't land on Chen Dong today, he definitely wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
This was when the importance of the agility attribute showed. Without even running a few steps, he caught up to Chen Dong and gave him a vicious smack.
Now he felt better.
Xia Yanchun's mouth twitched as she listened. Did boys really call each other "baby" so easily?
She had been called Chunbao by Shen Nian for a long time before she ever called him Nianbao!
"Little Chun, this is for you." Li Shiyan poked Xia Yanchun's hand and passed over a page from a friendship book.
"Wow, this looks really expensive."
"I bought this book online, it cost over sixty yuan."
"That expensive? ...No wonder."
The friendship book page was even more exquisite than a postcard; Xia Yanchun was almost reluctant to write on it.
"Little Chun, didn't you buy a friendship book?"
"I didn't buy one."
"Oh, oh..." Li Shiyan's little eyebrows arched up. "Is it a bit childish to buy this in high school?"
"Not at all. If you bought it, you bought it. The people who receive a page will definitely be happy!"
"Mhm... Then I'll go hand them out."
Li Shiyan hugged her friendship book and handed out the pages one by one. She basically gave one to the whole class; even the boys she had hardly ever spoken to received such an exquisite page.
If she didn't give them one, some classmates might feel embarrassed, right...? That wouldn't be good.
It wasn't just Li Shiyan; many other girls also handed out their friendship book pages.
Shen Nian came back from outside and looked at the stack of paper, thinking it was some mysterious exam material.
He counted them. Seventeen pages.
Who the hell did all these belong to?
"Is there one from you?" Shen Nian pouted his lips toward Xia Yanchun.
"No, I didn't buy one. The prettiest one is Shiyan's."
"Oh, it looks expensive," Shen Nian muttered. He sat in his seat, picked up his pen, and just started scribbling:
Name: Shen Nian. Age: 18. Height: 182cm. Hobby: Studying. Dream: To become a business master. Oh, don't be infatuated with me anymore, I am but a legend.
[Words you want to say to them: What else is there to say? Wishing you happiness every day.]
Mass production.
He didn't even know which page belonged to whom, so what could he possibly say to them?
If he had known, he would have written "Ad space for rent" or "Please enter text," which wouldn't be bad either.
Of course, the little loli's friendship page had to be a bit special.
After all, the three of them living a good life together was truly more important than anything else.
Shen Nian pondered for a moment and wrote a line of text at the back.
[Words you want to say to them: Wishing the little loli happiness every day. In the future, you will become an independent, strong businesswoman; be best friends with Xia Yanchun for the rest of your life 0ᴗ0]
"Give this to your desk-mate." Shen Nian passed that page to Xia Yanchun.
Xia Yanchun took a look, pursed her lips into a soft smile, and handed it to Li Shiyan.
Li Shiyan read it word by word, her eyes curving in delight, her smile as pure as cream.
It was actually a normal blessing, how rare! He even drew such a cute little emoticon!
But wait! Even so, she wouldn't forget the history of being kicked around like cotton and squeezed like a soft persimmon by Shen Nian!
She was going to remember it for a long, long time, and when she reminisced with Little Chun at the age of thirty, she would talk mad trash about Shen Nian.
During the last class, the classroom was never quiet. It was completely normal for people to move their chairs to sit next to others.
After all, they would be on holiday after today, and exams would start right after the holiday. Strictly enforcing discipline at this time would only cause resentment.
The seventeen friendship pages were gradually collected by classmates, mostly girls.
For something as literary and youthful as graduation season, Chen Qiuyu was naturally the most invested; one of those pages belonged to Chen Qiuyu.
There were also pages from Han Wenxin, Lin Xiyuan, and even Liang Jing.
Very few boys would go out and buy friendship books.
Even though they didn't buy them, they still wanted to receive pages.
If the girl they secretly had a crush on bought a friendship book but they didn't receive a page, it would truly feel like the end of the world.
Shen Nian also didn't receive a page from the girl he had a crush on. How tragic. He planned to hug a certain former rival he used to secretly crush on—who had now become his openly acknowledged love—and cry for a bit after class.
Class dismissed.
Shen Nian, Xia Yanchun, Li Shiyan, and a few other girls became the late-eaters group.
Today, the school cafeteria offered free meals to all graduates. Any unused money on their meal cards would be refunded in batches either before or after the college entrance exams.
"Is today really our last meal at school? I'm crying," Han Wenxin said with a bitter face. "The school tortured me a thousand times, but I treat it like my first love, sisters."
"Just last week you were cursing the principal for taking large portions."
"Cursing the principal doesn't mean I don't love the school. The inequality is instantly solved."
Shen Nian chuckled softly. "You actually had a little combo ready. I'm scared to tears."
"It's the truth, okay? The school is the school, and the principal is the principal. The principal can be replaced, but the school remains the same. I'll definitely come back to visit our alma mater often in the future." Han Wenxin chattered away, not even quiet while eating.
After lunch, Shen Nian pulled Xia Yanchun to the tuck shop to buy water to rinse their mouths.
That bottle of cola Chen Dong bought had already been finished.
"You've been drinking a lot of sodas lately again," Xia Yanchun said, grabbing only a bottle of iced jasmine tea.
"Damn, are you stalking me?"
"I sit right next to you, okay?" Xia Yanchun put her hands on her hips in a huff and shoved the jasmine tea into his hands. "Go pay."
"Okey-dokey."
"Say 'dokey' again and I'll hit you."
"Alrighty."
"..."
Shen Nian still bought a cola. Who could refuse an ice-cold Pepsi on a sweltering thirty-degree day? Coca-Cola was whatever.
He had just twisted the cap off and taken a sip when Xia Yanchun's voice sounded in his ear.
"After the exams, let's go to the hospital for a full body checkup, okay?"
"I'm super invincible and healthy."
"You spent such a long time eating high-oil, high-sugar foods and staying up late every day, and you forgot so quickly? How long have I even been keeping an eye on you? If I didn't watch you, you could drink three bottles of cola a day."
"Fine, fine, fine, I'll go, alright? When the time comes, I'll slap my super invincible and healthy medical report right on your face."
"Hmph, even if you exercise frequently, your body isn't necessarily healthy. People's bodies all have some minor issues more or less, it's just that they don't have much impact right now. This is called a sub-health state. Wait until you get older, and all these minor issues will burst out all at once. Then you'll instantly know you were wrong." Xia Yanchun pointed at him critically.
"What are you babbling about? I'm healthier than you anyway. I'm going up to the classroom to sleep."
Shen Nian grinned, leaning close to Xia Yanchun's shoulder. "Today is our very last afternoon nap in the classroom. I usually never take naps, but today I'll make a reluctant exception and sleep with you."
"Who wants you to sleep with me!" Xia Yanchun gritted her teeth, not daring to raise her voice. If anyone overheard them talking about sleeping together, she would die of embarrassment on the spot.
"You do. Didn't I sleep with you just last night?"
"That was clearly me sleeping with you."
"So you admit that you wanted to sleep with me, rather than me wanting to sleep with you?"
"Shut your mouth, you rascal! Take this!"
Xia Yanchun was clever after all. Before she even finished speaking, she had already launched a kick, nearly landing it right on Shen Nian's butt.
