4:30 in the afternoon.

Jiang Nian left Jing Mansion on his bike and strolled to the school. After going to the administrative building, he got in touch with Old Liu.

"Teacher, where can I pick it up?"

"Sixth floor, just come over." Old Liu replied, "Don't leave yet, help me with something when you finish."

Jiang Nian: "???"

Seriously? Even during the holiday, I have to do grunt work?

He sighed and agreed. Then he got a message from Xu Shuang, "Did you go to pick up the stuff yet?"

"Yes."

"Alright, I'm on my way, I'll pick it up too." Xu Shuang replied, and that was it.

Jiang Nian didn't pay much attention, put away his phone, and went to the sixth floor.

Ding, the elevator door opened. The nearest empty office had a desk at the door.

Old Liu was sitting there, absorbed in writing something.

That old guy is truly dedicated; even during the holidays, he's not at home with his wife.

"Teacher."

"Mm, come over and sign your name." He looked up, signaling Jiang Nian to come closer, "What's that you're holding?"

"Oh, zongzi." Jiang Nian lifted the paper bag, "Made them with the class president, do you want one, Teacher?"

Old Liu: "...."

Who asked you?

"Fine, give me one." Old Liu glanced at it, "What filling is it? I'll take a savory one."

Just then, a middle-aged female teacher came over.

She greeted, signed her name, and collected her stuff.

After finishing the business, Old Liu finally spoke about the main task, "There's a trolley here, help me deliver some stuff to Building D."

"Isn't Building D an independent tutoring facility?"

"They're all old teachers from our school." Old Liu explained, "We share the benefits."

"Oh, okay."

He dragged a flatbed trolley with gift boxes, two barrels of oil, two small bags of rice, and three boxes of zongzi gift sets.

The elevator was smooth, arriving at Building D without a hitch.

The entrance was a bit challenging; the repeat study building is a sunken structure. Level -1 is essentially the first floor, and the old building doesn't have an elevator.

It reflects a style from the last century, with the outer walls still clad in long strips of white ceramic tiles.

"Hey! Jiang Nian?"

A familiar voice sounded, soft and breezy, "Why are you still at school during the holiday?"

Lan Lan was wearing a black skirt suit, the tight dress did not accentuate too many curves, and a thin trench coat wrapped around outside.

She seemed tall yet not over the top.

Even though she was a psychology teacher, seemingly not bound by much restraint..., her teaching credential was still watching over her.

The interior was chilly, so wearing an extra layer was understandable.

"Delivering stuff, since you're here." Jiang Nian was ready to unload, "You can take it up yourself."

Lan Lan: "...."

Such a sly person, pretending not to know. Absolutely intentional, take it up, then bring it back down?

Just amusing the teacher here?

"Give it to me, I don't necessarily have to take it to the parking lot?" She rolled her eyes, feeling a bit speechless.

"Wait here a moment, help me push it over."

Jiang Nian also felt a bit speechless, turned into a delivery tool. Knowing too many teachers isn't always a good thing.

"Fine, I'll deliver the -1 floor stuff first."

Lan Lan made an OK gesture and turned back to the office. Preparing to tidy up things and leave together.

Rumble rumble.

Not long after, the two went downstairs together. Lan Lan carrying a bag, Jiang Nian dragging the trolley rumblingly.

"Why don't you ask that girl if she had the zongzi?"

"Who?"

"So heartless, already forgotten her?" Lan Lan's lips curved up, wearing a playful smile.

"I haven't forgotten, but she should have some."

"Yeah, thanks to me." Lan Lan made a V sign, "I got one more portion of zongzi and stuff."

"Thank you, Teacher."

"You ought to thank me, so helping me with this heavy lifting is well deserved." Lan Lan covered her mouth with a chuckle.

Watching young people fall in love is quite entertaining.

Jiang Nian just let her think whatever she wanted, he had no reputation to lose anyway, getting more goodies for Feifei was no harm.

"Yes, yes, yes."

....

After seeing Lan Lan off, Jiang Nian carried the small trolley back, planning to return to the admin building to report to Old Liu.

Besides, it was getting late.

It was time for dinner.

As he got on the elevator, two people approached from afar. One of the girls was bold and greeted him.

"Wait a minute~!"

Jiang Nian turned back and glanced, unable to help but smile.

"You guys are here?"

"Yeah." Xu Shuang had a faint smile on her face as she swept her bangs behind her ears, "Parking took a while."

"What are you doing with the trolley?" Zhao Yiqiu asked curiously. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"I helped our teacher with some odd jobs." Jiang Nian pressed the elevator button, "Take it up together with me."

"Sure." Xu Shuang nodded.

The elevator arrangement was quite amusing too, Zhao Yiqiu stood in the corner with the floor buttons.

Her back facing the two, looking a bit eerie.

Jiang Nian and Xu Shuang stood together, the distance between their hands just centimeters, yet their demeanor was natural.

"Daoist, can you turn around?"

"No, it's better this way...." Zhao Yiqiu hesitated for a bit, couldn't come up with a smarter excuse, "better this way!"

"Alright then." Jiang Nian had nothing more to say.

He just recalled a zombie movie where the incident location was inside an elevator, wiped out in an instant.

What? She's a Daoist.

Wouldn't that be more dangerous?

Jiang Nian's mind was wandering, couldn't help but laugh. Xu Shuang glanced, her lips slightly curled up.

Ding!

Out of the elevator, Old Liu was still there guarding. A power bank on the table while he was scrolling on his phone.

"Teacher, all done."

"Oh, good job." Old Liu glanced, saw two students arriving, "Xu Shuang, right? Sign here."

"Okay."

Once in, once out, Jiang Nian had nothing else. Holding a piece of stuff, standing aside watching Xu Shuang go through the procedure.

"Where are you heading later?"

"Home." Xu Shuang lifted her head.

"Dinner." Zhao Yiqiu said this, she ate so much but never gained a pound.

Jiang Nian nodded, continued nonchalantly, "Alright, I'm heading to the North District boys' dormitory area later."
