Chapter 867: You Clap One! I Clap One!
At this moment, Nova felt the heavy pressure of life crashing down on her!
She was about to be flattened like a pancake!
[From Nova.Sophia's Resentment Value +1000!]
Why did her luck have to be so bad?
How did she run into this during the operation?
Seriously, you've been tired all day from the academic exchange, can't you just rest at night?
|(｡)❛ั益❛ั٥)[][][]
Damn it!
Before Nova could even catch her breath, Jiangnan dropped into a zombie-like fall, heavily landing on the bed!
"Creak～"
|(｡)꒪ͦε꒪ͦ(｡)[][][]
Pfft～
It directly crushed Nova until her eyes rolled back!
Jiangnan: (˵ಡٹಡ)
"Hey? Who farted? Big Wolfbane! Was it you?"
Xia Yao understood instantly. Even though she didn't know what was going on or who was under the bed, it was clear that Xiao Nan wanted to take the chance to get back at whoever it was!
At that moment, Xia Yao's mischievous spirit burned brightly, and she started pounding Jiangnan's chest with her little fists!
(｡⁼̴ꇴ⁼̴۶)۶(¯ิٹ¯ิ๑)
"Giggle giggle～ I didn't! Xiao Nan, you're so bad!"
With that, she lay on the bed and began to dance like waves, undulating up and down like ocean swells!
The bed creaked and trembled with each movement!
Again and again, it pressed heavily on Nova!
Jiangnan cackled with delight. Big Wolfbane, are you the little tapeworm in my belly? How did you know exactly what I wanted to do?
(๑･᷅◡･᷄) "Big Wolfbane, do you want big brother to treat you even better?"
As he spoke, he started flipping wildly like a carp, as if he had turned into a Jiang Carp!
The mattress endured pain it was never meant to bear at its age!
Xia Yao: (⸝⸝❛ัᴗ❛ั) "How much better?"
Jiangnan grinned slyly: "Of course, the kind where you're surrounded left and right by South, and you can't advance or retreat—that kind of good～"
Xia Yao: (ﾉ).̮(ヾ) "Giggle～ No way! I'd rather be forced to ride South!"
"I hope it's not the heavy pressure of life that makes it hard for me to breathe, but you!"
At this moment, Jiangnan was carp-flipping, Xia Yao was wave-dancing, both with mischievous grins on their faces!
Meanwhile, Nova was stuck under the bed, covering her mouth, about to go crazy!
|(｡)꒦ິก꒦ີ)[][][]
Now it's the two of you making it hard for me to breathe!
But Jiangnan and Xia Yao weren't satisfied with just flipping and dancing—they even started clapping each other's hands!
٩(๑˃᷄ٹ˂᷅)人(ᵔᗜᵔ*)۶
You clap one, I clap one!
Let's kick the little ball with our feet!
One kick sends it flying, super awesome!
After kicking the ball, change into new clothes!
Wearing new clothes, ride the airplane!
They clapped faster and faster, even creating afterimages!
The room echoed with the sound of "slap slap" clapping!
[From Nova.Sophia's Resentment Value +1000!]
[From Nova...]
The Resentment Value was maxing out!
Jiangnan cackled with glee. If I don't squeeze out a million Resentment Value from you tonight, I won't even sleep!
But because they were having too much fun, the bed finally couldn't take it anymore!
With a few "crack" sounds, the bed legs were about to break!
Bed: (งཀ益ཀ)ง
Although I'm a bed, you guys really aren't human!
Nova's face turned white with fear. The bed was about to collapse? How could that be? If it collapsed, Jiangnan would definitely check under the bed or something! Then she would be exposed!
Once exposed, even though her Starlight rank meant she wouldn't be in mortal danger, this incident would be huge!
This was Pioneer Academy, and Jiangnan had backers everywhere!
Nova gritted her teeth, spread her arms and legs, and desperately propped up the mattress!
She used all her strength to keep the bed from collapsing, pretending nothing was wrong!
Her face was twisted in frustration!
╰(ꐦ•̀益•́ꐦ)╯
You're about to flatten me! I came here to gather intel, not to be a mattress for you two!
I'm even more squeezed than the cream filling in an Oreo!
[From Nova.Sophia's Resentment Value +1000!]
Time ticked by minute by minute!
One hour... three hours...
Until eight in the morning, when a knock came at the door!
Zhong Yingxue: (｡•̀◡•́)وΣ Door
"Knock knock knock～"
"Xiao Nan? Xiao Nan? Are you up? There are egg tarts to eat today!"
Nova was crying. It was morning already? Couldn't you two go eat and recharge? You still have a match to play later!
Xia Yao was startled, then looked at Jiangnan with a questioning gaze!
Jiangnan grinned and shook his head, signaling not to worry!
He then opened the door and headed toward the dining room!
"Where are the egg tarts? Let me see?"
Zhong Yingxue looked confused as she watched Jiangnan, Xia Yao, and Xiao Jiuwo file out of the room in a line! Then she covered her mouth, her pretty face blushing, and quickly pulled Xia Yao to a corner, looking mysterious!
"Forced to ride?"
Xia Yao's face darkened: "Not at all! I just spent the whole night jumping with Xiao Nan and clapping hands—I'm exhausted!"
Zhong Yingxue: ୧(·•᷄ࡇ•᷅)?
Xia Yao snickered: "Let me tell you, last night, gurgle gurgle～"
Zhong Yingxue facepalmed. Someone was under the bed? What the heck?
Everyone was eating in the living room!
Nova carefully crawled out from under the bed. After supporting the bed all night, her arms and legs were numb!
Her face was furious: (ꐦ༎ຶ益༎ຶ)
"Just you wait! Ugh～"
With that, she climbed out the window and ran. If she didn't show up soon, Martin and the others might start to suspect!
Jiangnan, eating in the living room, smirked slightly and waved his hand to dismiss the spatial wormhole!
"Heh～ Let's go!"
Only then did Xia Yao breathe a sigh of relief, looking curious: "Who was it?"
Zhong Yingxue frowned slightly: "Someone dares to cause trouble at Pioneer Academy? They have some nerve!"
Jiangnan laughed: "Don't worry, I'll handle it. Since she didn't accomplish her goal, she won't stop."
"I want to see who's got their eye on me. You two go ahead to the academic exchange; I'll catch up later!"
With that, he stuffed a couple of egg tarts into his mouth, and with a teleport, he vanished.
He headed straight to the Toy House Garden Villa, where he found Jiangning weeding the lawn.
Seeing Jiangnan, she looked very happy.
"Ningning Jie, did you sense any fluctuations of Bose particles last night?"
Jiangning was taken aback, then her expression turned serious: "No, I didn't. What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Jiangnan briefly recounted last night's events!
Jiangning frowned: "Nova? You think someone is behind her?"
Jiangnan nodded: "I don't have any deep grudge against her. She wouldn't risk targeting me just because of the academic exchange."
"After testing her last night, she kept holding back, obviously afraid of revealing her identity."
"That's very telling. I don't know whose people she is."
Jiangning looked thoughtful: "You can use process of elimination. First think about the enemies you've made recently or in the past, and then..."
Jiangnan: ╮(•́ω•̀)╭
"I'm at war with the whole world."
Jiangning: (≖_≖٥)...
I have nothing to say. This is the first time I've seen you so self-aware!
It's not an exaggeration. If all the people in the world who want to kill Jiangnan lined up, they'd probably be longer than the string of Xiangpiaopiao milk tea cups!
How could he possibly narrow it down?
"You suspect it's because of the Void Nails?"
Jiangnan smiled brightly: "I don't know. Let's see first. You should just accompany me for the day!"
Jiangning looked at him with affection and gently ruffled his hair!
"As long as you want, I'll go with you to the ends of the earth, no matter where."
Jiangnan stared at her, then suddenly pounced on her, rubbing against her nonstop!
)˃᷄◡˂᷅｡)
Just then, Jiangjing burst out excitedly!
"Where are you going? Jingjing wants to come too!"
Jiangning looked stern: "Did you finish your homework?"
(๑◔﹏◔ิ๑) "I finished it last night!"
Jiangnan laughed: "It's fine, we're just on campus anyway. Let her tag along."
"I can also help her with anything she doesn't understand."
[From Jiangning's Resentment Value +1000!]
[From...]
Jiangnan: (•́ω•̀٥)?
Before he could react, Jiangning gave him a sharp knock on the head!
"You make her life feel like years, you make her poor and vicious? What kind of tutoring is that?"
"If you keep tutoring Jingjing, I'll pull off my horn and let you play marbles with it!"
Jiangnan: ୧(˃᷄﹏˂᷅)୨
Holding his head, he sprinted away guiltily, heading straight for the college competition grounds!
