Chapter 385: Wow ~ What a Coincidence
Jiangnan looked at his phone and practically exploded on the spot!
Hung up on me again?
Just you wait, Little Jianjian!
I'll wake you up at 3:30 in the morning to pee!
"Who's going without pay? Not arranging it? I'll find my own place!"
Jiangnan huffed and puffed over to the sofa, flipping through the admission notices of Zhong Yingxue and the others.
Finding the contact info, he immediately made a call!
"Hello? Is this Jingdu Lingda?"
"Yeah... who's this?"
"I'm Jiangnan! The national champion! The super awesome one! I want to study at your school. You want me?"
"We... we can't afford you!"
Jiangnan: ???
What the heck?
Even I'm being told I can't be afforded today?
You don't even want the national champion? You guys are way too cocky!
Jiangnan gritted his teeth: "I refuse to believe this today!"
"Hello? Is this Modu Lingda?"
"I'm Jiangnan! National champion! Space system! Silver can take on Gold! I want to go..."
"Beep beep beep~"
"Hello? Is this Sucheng Lingda? I'm Jiangnan! National champion! I want to study at your school!"
"Let me tell you, I'm awesome! If I go, I can even boost the street stall economy around the campus! I..."
"Beep beep beep~"
At this moment, Jiangnan had devolved into a humanoid repeating machine, frantically dialing numbers!
Beside him, Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao couldn't help but snicker.
So this was the legendary "boasting"?
But every reply was nothing but "beep beep beep~"
Why didn't those Spirit Martial universities want him?
They'd be fighting tooth and nail to get him!
But to take in a rising star like Jiangnan? They simply didn't have the foundation.
In fact, Jiangnan's only option was the "Pioneer Nursing Home"!
That's why they didn't even bother trying, not daring to send an admission notice.
Otherwise, wouldn't that be disrespecting *that* person?
After half an hour of calling, Jiangnan's eyes were glazed over.
Hey hey hey!
Am I a fake national champion or what?
I want to go to university!
I want scantily clad girls to send me love letters!
I want a passionate romance, to indulge my youth!
But instead, you want me to go to a nursing home and square dance with the elderly?
This isn't right!
Jiangnan pouted: "I'm so ex-cell-ent! And they still don't want me!"
Zhong Yingxue chuckled: "The 'ex' part is fine."
Xia Yao giggled: "Right! It's the 'cell-ent' that's the problem!"
Jiangnan: ...
"So... do you want to come with me to the nursing home as volunteer cleaners?"
Zhong Yingxue: "Mmm~ I need to go buy groceries and prepare lunch!"
Xia Yao whistled: "I just remembered my socks haven't been washed yet..."
Jiangnan: ???
What about the vows that you'd go wherever I go?
What about the promises we just made?
Are you guys reversing course this fast?
Beside him, Nightingale couldn't hold back her laughter: "Just rest assured! Once you get there, you'll know what kind of place it is!"
"I came from there myself!"
Jiangnan was stunned: "You were a volunteer there too?"
Nightingale: "Pfft~ Did four years! You should seize the opportunity!"
"In previous years, the academy would pick the top students from prestigious universities for interviews."
"I don't know what's happening this year, but they're selecting from high school seniors. You guys are really lucky, you know?"
Jiangnan was dumbfounded! Lucky?
I'm practically losing out big time!
Nightingale: "Remember, Uncle Wang has a bad back and likes to wander. Aunt Liu has some Alzheimer's and can't remember people."
"And there's Uncle Ma! He's deaf! When you talk to him, make sure to speak up!"
Jiangnan: (•́﹏•̀٥)
He was already worrying about his future life!
What exactly was the Pioneer Nursing Home like?
The interview was still three days away!
Lying in bed, Jiangnan tossed and turned, unable to sleep. He glanced at the time! 1:30 AM!
The glow of his phone screen lit up his face as his smile slowly turned twisted.
He immediately called Yang Jian!
Yang Jian, lying in bed, struggled to get up and answer the phone, eyes half-closed.
A roar came from the phone!
"Jian Ge! Time to get up and pee!"
The sound was so loud that Yang Jian felt a strong gust of wind blowing from the receiver!
He was drenched in a cold sweat from the shock!
"Creak~ creak~"
[From Yang Jian, Resentment Value +1000!]
[From...]
He angrily hung up the phone, spending a full half hour to regain his drowsiness and fall asleep.
During that time, the Resentment Value kept refreshing nonstop!
Jiangnan felt so satisfied!
Seeing the Resentment Value stop refreshing, he immediately called again!
Yang Jian picked up, annoyed: "What now?"
"Nothing, just asking! Did you manage to pee, Jian Ge?"
Yang Jian: (▼皿▼ꐦ)
"No!"
[From Yang Jian...]
[From...]
Jiangnan's eyes lit up. In that instant, he found his joy!
This time, the Resentment Value kept refreshing for a full hour before stopping!
Jiangnan called again!
"What is it? Spit it out!"
"Ah! Jian Ge! I just wanted to ask what time it is now!"
"3:30 AM! Don't you have a watch?"
Jiangnan exclaimed: "Wow ~ What a coincidence! It's 3:30 AM here too!"
"Crack!"
Yang Jian crushed his phone!
[From Yang Jian, Resentment Value +1000!]
What the heck "what a coincidence"?
Coincidence my foot!
Are you just making small talk for no reason?
The worst decision I ever made in my life was giving you my number!
"Getting up! Screw sleeping!"
[From Yang Jian...]
Jiangnan lay in bed, utterly content.
Tsk~ So satisfying!
Battle again tomorrow night!
Jiangnan slept until the sun was high in the sky before getting up.
Full of energy, he went with Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao to the graduation party!
In a private room at Huatian Hotel, a huge table was laden with an extravagant feast.
All the classmates were there, including Yu Qingqing and Qin Shou.
Seeing Yu Qingqing, Jiangnan's eyes lit up: "Little Fish, how's your dad? Did he recover from the mushroom poisoning?"
Yu Qingqing's face darkened: "He's better, but now he's separated from my mom."
Zhong Yingxue was surprised: "Separated? Weren't your parents getting along well?"
Yu Qingqing covered her face: "My dad moved to the bathroom to live. Said it's convenient."
Jiangnan swallowed, looking guilty.
Yu Qingqing said mysteriously, "Snowy! Did you guys get the volunteer interview notice from the Pioneer Nursing Home too? So strange~"
Jiangnan was startled: "You got it too?"
Yu Qingqing nodded: "All of us on the Bingfeng team got it."
Jiangnan's expression turned serious: "Little Fish! Listen to me! This opportunity is once in a lifetime!"
"You have to go! Compared to this, all those other universities are garbage! Garbage, you know?"
Yu Qingqing's eyes sparkled: "Is it really that impressive?"
Jiangnan: "Of course! I'm definitely going anyway. I wouldn't go to any other top university even if they paid me!"
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao looked at Jiangnan in utter disbelief.
Look! A classic case of lying through your teeth!
You're just trying to lure an innocent girl into the trap, aren't you?
Who was complaining about it yesterday, then calling every university that rejected you?
Yu Qingqing: "Are Snowy and Sister Yaoyao going too?"
The two exchanged glances and smiled: "We'll follow Xiao Nan."
"Hehe, then I'll go too!"
At that moment, Lu Ming stood up: "Nan Shen, which Spirit Martial university are you going to? Give us a hint!"
"It must be super awesome! No need to think!"
"Spill it! Show us your acceptance letter!"
Jiangnan's face darkened!
Awesome? Awesome explosion!
Show it? Then how would I survive?
Standing up, Jiangnan smirked, grabbed a bottle of beer, and popped it open with one hand.
"Drink me under the table, and I'll show you!"
Instantly, the crowd was riled up!
"Oh? You're pretty confident!"
"Bring it on!"
"If heaven didn't give me iron kidneys, eternal night would rule the drinking world!"
"Fighting I can't beat you, but drinking?"
Yu Qingqing, Xia Yao, and Zhong Yingxue stood in a row.
Yep, you're right.
You can't beat them in a fight, and you can't outdrink them either.
...
Six hours later! Jiangnan walked out of the private room, face calm, heart steady.
Without stopping!
Amid the shocked and admiring gazes of the waitstaff, he hopped into a taxi with Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao, speeding away!
Inside the private room at that moment!
Whether boys or girls, not a single one had their eyes open. They were all down!
"If I counted right, that god downed 521 bottles, right? One guy taking on 47 people in a round-robin?"
"Too fierce! Where did he put all that alcohol?"
"A legend is born!"
"So... everyone's down. Who pays?"
The waitstaff's faces all darkened!
No wonder they ran so fast! Damn it!
