Chapter 180: Learning Makes Me Happy
TL: Etude
Studying is an activity that, in essence, only requires a desk and a chair. If one disregards efficiency, the dormitory would undoubtedly be the ideal place to revise.
However, for students with lesser self-control, the atmosphere of group study is quite significant.
When a group of college students crams into a warm classroom on a winter day, when the sound of flipping pages whistles in ones ears, when every gaze brims with concentration and a thirst for knowledge.
There are no whispered secrets, no idle daydreams, no minds wandering off. Even the poorest of students might remember a few more words.
Whoever leaves first is a dog, got it?
No problem. Studying makes me happy.
Im okay too, since Ive already told Ding Xue not to restrain my heart, which loves to study, with love.
If you guys are in, then Im definitely in. I dont even have a significant other. What else would I do but study?
The spirited F4 of Room 302 ascended the steps of the academic building, eventually reaching the fifth floor of Building A, as indicated.
The university had many self-study rooms, often full to bursting as exams approached, with queues impossible to join. However, with a month still to go before exam week, they didnt face the issue of not finding a seat.
The four wandered left and right, finally settling in a public study room.
Many students at Linchuan University were regulars in these rooms, spending more time here than in their dormitories, making it their second home.
Jackets draped over chairs, boxes for personal items, desks cluttered with water bottles, lunchboxes, chargers, phones, laptops, and small lamps.
Compared to these students, Jiang Qin and his friends were practically lightly equipped.
Jiang Qin solemnly placed his textbook on the desk, beginning from the first page.
Brand new.
Upon opening the book, the distinct scent of fresh ink was unmistakably present.
He surreptitiously borrowed a pen from a girl he didnt know at the next table, earnestly writing his name in it.
The other three also opened books on their weaker subjects, all wearing expressions of deep concentration, remaining silent.
Three minutes later, Ren Ziqiang was the first to be distracted, his attention drifting to the pretty profile of a girl sitting opposite.
Zhou Chao began to feel sleepy, having read the title page repeatedly, memorizing several names from the list of textbook authors.
Cao Guangyu had placed his Nokia 5230 on the textbook, doodling on the touchscreen with a stylus, pecking at it like a chicken.
Guys, please focus a bit more. If youre not studying, at least dont disturb the others around you, Jiang Qin said with squinted eyes, his gaze not straying from his book.
I didnt even say a word! Ren Ziqiang protested, pulling his gaze away from the girls face.
If youre not distracting me, then why cant I concentrate?
Jiang, this just shows your brain isnt suited for studying anymore. I feel the same; I cant focus on a single word.
Jiang Qin pushed his textbook forward, leaning back in his chair. Even if I cant focus, I have to try. This calculus book is even printed wrong, yet I still managed to read three pages. Thats called determination.
Zhou Chao couldnt resist leaning in. Thats impossible. How could there be a mistake in the textbook? Let me see?
Look at this; I dont even recognize these symbols.
??????
Ren Ziqiang put away his smile, looking coldly at Pan Xiu before picking up his textbook to study seriously.
The Golden Flowers of Finance Class 3, along with Zhuang Chen, sat down and greeted them. They brought thick textbooks, clearly there to study. Unlike Jiang Qins pristine books, theirs showed signs of diligent use, evident in their creases.
Jiang Qin, thanks for lending us the classroom for the dumpling party last time, Jiang Tian began, not immediately focusing on her textbook.
Its no problem. You also entertained Manqi for me, so were even. Hows the fruit-selling granny? Did she eat the dumplings?
Jiang Tian looked at Jian Chun, who then spoke, She did. She said our dumplings were delicious and even insisted we take some fruit back, but we declined.
Jiang Qin nodded, Be careful when you ride your bikes. Dont be rash. The more youre in a hurry, the less you should rush.
I, I understand Jian Chun nodded gently, then suddenly remembered something. Were the dumplings tasty on Winter Solstice Day? I wrapped them myself.
?????? Jiang Qin frowned, thinking to himself that he had never tasted their dumplings, so how would he know if they were good or not.
The next moment, he saw Zhuang Chens face change color beside him. Zhuangs breathing grew heavier and he looked at Jiang Qin nervously, a hint of pleading in his eyes.
Jiang Qin, sharp as ever, pieced together the clues from Jian Chuns words and Zhuang Chens reaction. On Winter Solstice Day, the girls had not only delivered dumplings to Old L, Zhu Feng, and Principal Zhang, but there might have been a portion for him too.
However, they couldnt enter the male dormitory, so the only person who could have delivered the dumplings was Zhuang Chen. But the dumplings were missing, more mysteriously than a beaten dogs bun. This was quite intriguing.
The dumplings were quite good. The filling was tasty. I wanted to ask you about the recipe, but then I forgot, Jiang Qin said, glancing at Zhuang Chen and noticing him relax suddenly, although his face was still pale.
The recipe was from Song Qingsongs mom, Jiang Tian chimed in helpfully.
Jiang Qin turned to Song Qingsong: Could I get a copy of that recipe?
Of course! Song Qingsong took out her phone and forwarded the recipe message from her mother.
Thanks.
Jiang Qin glanced at the message, thinking to himself that he finally had a way to win over Principal Zhangs heart with his cooking!
He picked up his calculus textbook and continued to study earnestly, completely ignoring Zhuang Chens grateful look.
After a while, it was dinner time, and the quiet study room finally buzzed with noise. Those who regularly camped in the study room had brought their dinners and were now preparing to eat.
Jiang Qin stretched and woke up Zhou Chao, Ren Ziqiang, and Cao Guangyu, suggesting they go for dinner.
Jiang Qin, let me treat you to dinner! Zhuang Chen suddenly stood up.
Jiang Qin looked at him: Youre not talking about the cafeteria, are you?
Nanshan Restaurant.
Youre not planning to invite only me, are you?
Zhuang Chen got the hint: Then then lets all go from your dorm.
Cao Guangyu, still groggy, wiped the drool from his mouth and looked at Jiang Qin: Whats going on? Why is someone treating us to dinner as soon as I wake up?
Jiang Qin smiled: Good deeds are rewarded.
Damn if I were Jiang Qin, I never wouldve picked that up.
