Jiang Nan stared at his phone and exploded on the spot!
Hanging up on me again?
Little Jianjian, just you wait!
Watch me ring you at 3:30 a.m. to get up and pee!
“No money, no go! I’m not taking the deal! I’ll find my own place!”
Fuming, Jiang Nan marched to the sofa, flipped through Zhong Yingxue and the girls’ acceptance letters, found the contact details, and started dialling!
“Hello? Kyoto Spirit University?”
“Yes… who is this?”
“It’s me, Jiang Nan! The national champion! Super amazing one! I want to study at your school, you want me or not?”
“We… can’t play!”
Jiang Nan: ???
What the hell?
Today even I get the “can’t play” treatment?
You don’t want the national champion? You lot are getting way too arrogant!
Jiang Nan gritted his teeth: “Today I refuse to believe this nonsense!”
“Hello? Modu Spirit University?”
“It’s Jiang Nan! National champion! Space element! Silver who can crush gold! I want to…”
Beep beep beep~
“Hello? Suzhou Spirit University? It’s Jiang Nan! National champion! I want to study at your school!”
“Let me tell you, I’m incredible! If I go there I can even boost the local street-stall economy! I…”
Beep beep beep~
At that moment Jiang Nan devolved into a pure parrot repeater, frantically smashing phones!
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao, standing to the side, couldn’t hold back their sniggers!
This was the legendary “selling your own melons”, bragging about yourself?
Yet every single answer was “beep beep beep~”
Why on earth wouldn’t those spirit martial universities want him?
They would fight tooth and nail for him!
But to swallow a rising star like Jiang Nan? None of them had the foundation!
It could be said that Jiang Nan’s only destination was the “Pioneer Nursing Home”!
So they didn’t even dare try, didn’t dare send acceptance letters!
Otherwise they’d be slapping that big shot in the face!
After half an hour of calls, Jiang Nan’s eyes went dead!
Hello hello hello!
Is my national champion title fake or something?
I want to go to university!
I want ragged-clothed senior sisters slipping me little love letters!
I want a fiery, passionate campus romance and to live my youth to the fullest!
Yet you’re sending me to a nursing home to square-dance with grandpas and grandmas?
This isn’t right!
Jiang Nan pouted: “I’m this out! stand! ing! And they still don’t want me!”
Zhong Yingxue sniggered: “Outstanding can stay, sure!”
Xia Yao giggled nonstop: “Yeah! You’re mainly standing out in the ‘show’ department!”
Jiang Nan: …
“So… you two coming with me to be volunteer cleaners at the nursing home?”
Zhong Yingxue: “Hmm~ I need to buy groceries for lunch!”
Xia Yao whistled: “I just remembered my socks still aren’t washed…”
Jiang Nan: ???
Didn’t you say you’d follow me wherever I go?
Where’s all that undying loyalty from earlier?
Don’t flip so fast!
Yingying, standing nearby, finally couldn’t hold her laughter: “Just relax! Once you get there you’ll find out what kind of place it really is!”
“I came from there myself!”
Jiang Nan was stunned: “You did volunteer work too?”
Yingying: “Pfft~ four whole years! You better seize this chance!”
“In previous years they only picked the absolute top students from famous universities for interviews!”
“This year, for some reason, they started pulling from high-school seniors. You guys hit the jackpot!”
Jiang Nan was baffled. Jackpot?
I’m about to lose my shirt!
Yingying: “Remember, Grandpa Wang has a bad back but loves wandering! Granny Liu has a bit of dementia and forgets faces!”
“And Grandpa Ma! He’s deaf! Speak louder when you talk to him!”
Jiang Nan: (•́﹏•̀٥)
He was already worried about his future life!
What on earth was the real situation inside Pioneer Nursing Home?
Three days until the interview!
Jiang Nan tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. He glanced at the time. 1:30 a.m.!
The glow of the phone lit up his face, and his smile gradually turned perverted!
He immediately hammered a call to Yang Jian!
Yang Jian, in bed, struggled to sit up and answer, eyes still half-closed!
Then came a thunderous roar from the phone!
“Brother Jian! Time to get up and pee!”
The volume was so loud Yang Jian felt a gust of wind blast out of the receiver!
He broke into a cold sweat from sheer fright!
Creak~ creak~
[Resentment from Yang Jian +1000!]
[From…]
Yang Jian angrily hung up, took a full half hour to calm down and fall back asleep!
The resentment points kept refreshing the whole time!
Jiang Nan felt absolutely fantastic!
The moment the resentment stopped refreshing, he hammered another call!
Yang Jian picked up, furious: “What now?”
“Nothing, just checking! Brother Jian, did you manage to pee yet?”
Yang Jian: (▼皿▼ꐦ)
“No!”
[From Yang Jian…]
[From…]
Jiang Nan’s eyes lit up. He had found his joy!
This time the resentment refreshed for a full hour before stopping!
Jiang Nan immediately called again!
“What is it? Speak!”
“Ah! Brother Jian! I just wanted to ask what time it is!”
“Half past three in the morning! Don’t you have a watch?”
Jiang Nan gasped dramatically: “Wow~ what a coincidence! It’s half past three here too!”
Click!
Yang Jian crushed the phone in his hand!
[Resentment from Yang Jian +1000!]
Damn “what a coincidence”!
Coincidence my foot!
You’ve got nothing better to do than annoy people!
The biggest mistake of my life was giving you my phone number!
“Up! Not sleeping any more!”
[From Yang Jian…]
Jiang Nan lay snug in bed, utterly satisfied!
Tch~ feels great!
Same time tomorrow!
He slept until the sun was high the next day!
Full of energy, he headed off with Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao to the graduation party!
Huaitan Hotel private room, a huge table overflowing with sumptuous dishes!
All the classmates were there, including Yu Qingqing, Qin Shou, and the rest!
The moment he saw Yu Qingqing, Jiang Nan’s eyes sparkled: “Little fish! How’s uncle’s health? Recovered from the mushroom poisoning?”
Yu Qingqing’s little face darkened: “He’s recovered, he just moved out and is living separately from my mum now!”
Zhong Yingxue was shocked: “Separate? Didn’t uncle and auntie have a great relationship?”
Yu Qingqing covered her face: “Dad moved into the bathroom! Says it’s more convenient!”
Jiang Nan swallowed hard, looking guilty!
Yu Qingqing mysteriously leaned in: “Xuexue! Did you guys get the volunteer interview notice from Pioneer Nursing Home too? So weird~”
Jiang Nan blanked: “You got one too?”
Yu Qingqing nodded: “Everyone on our Ice Peak team got one!”
Jiang Nan’s expression turned serious: “Little fish! Listen to me! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!”
“You have to go! Compared to this place, all the other universities are rubbish! Absolute rubbish, got it?”
Yu Qingqing’s eyes shone: “That amazing?”
Jiang Nan: “Of course! I’m definitely going! Even if those top universities paid me I wouldn’t go!”
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao stared speechlessly at Jiang Nan!
Look! The true “barefaced lies” series!
You’re just trying to drag the innocent girl down with you, right?
Who was it yesterday hating the idea and calling every university only to be rejected?
Yu Qingqing: “Are Xuexue and Sister Yao going too?”
The two girls exchanged glances and smiled: “We follow Xiao Nan!”
“Hehe, then I’m going too!”
At that moment Lu Ming stood up: “South God, which spirit martial university did you pick in the end? Give us a hint!”
“Definitely insanely awesome, no need to guess!”
“Come on, show us the letter!”
Jiang Nan’s face darkened!
Insanely awesome! Awesome to the max!
Show it? Then how am I supposed to live?
He stood up, smirked, grabbed a beer, and popped it open one-handed!
“Drink me under the table and I’ll show you!”
The whole room erupted!
“Oh ho? Pretty confident!”
“Battle!”
“Heaven did not birth me, Iron-Kidney King! The path of alcohol is eternal night!”
“I can’t beat you in a fight, but you think I can’t outdrink you?”
Yu Qingqing, Xia Yao, and Zhong Yingxue stood in a row!
Yep, you’re right!
You can’t beat him! And you definitely can’t outdrink him!
…
Six hours later! Jiang Nan walked out of the private room, face unchanged, heart steady.
Didn’t even pause!
Under the terrified yet worshipful gazes of the waitstaff, he dragged Zhong Yingxue and the girls into a taxi and sped off!
Right now, inside the private room!
Boys and girls alike, not a single person still had their eyes open. All collapsed!
“If I counted right, the immortal downed 521 bottles? One versus forty-seven? Wheel battle?”
“Too savage! Where did he put all that alcohol?”
“A legend is born!”
“So! Everyone’s out cold… who’s paying the bill?”
The waitstaff’s faces all went black!
No wonder they bolted so fast! Damn it!
