Subsequently, in the school''s blackboard competition, Xiang Nan naturally won first place, which made the head teacher Hou Jia very happy.


    In the monthly exam at the end of September, Xiang Nan scored 670 points, ranking second in the class.


    Such good results made Hou Jia even happier.


    Fang Hui also did well in the exam, with a score of 620, ranking fifth in the class.


    ?In fact, her grades were already very good. Coupled with Xiang Nan''s guidance and corrective measures, her grades naturally improved to a higher level.


    ??In addition, she wears the Demonic Pestle, which allows her to get rid of selfish thoughts, can focus more when studying, and can perform more stably during exams, so her grades are naturally rising.


    Qiao Ran scored 630 points in the exam, ranking fourth in the class. Lin Jiamo scored 540 points and Zhao Ye scored 410 points. Compared with the previous results, they were not far behind.


    …


    After the National Day, it soon entered late autumn.


    The students began to make noises for the New Year.


    Because this year is 1999, the last year of the twentieth century, and next year will be the new century.


    So everyone is inexplicably excited.


    ?Girls are busy buying greeting cards to send their best wishes in the new millennium.


    ?The boys were discussing the Y2K bug and the doomsday prophecies of Nostradamus.


    "Chen Xun, what kind of bug do you think this ''Millennium Bug'' is? Can humans be infected?" Zhao Ye asked Xiang Nan curiously.


    In the 1990s, computers were still a rarity. Most people had never been exposed to them and did not know what the Y2K bug was. They thought they were insects such as flies, mosquitoes, and bedbugs.


    “Don’t worry, it’s not contagious to humans, it’s from the computer.” Xiang Nan explained, “It’s a program BUG, ??or it can be understood as a computer virus.”


    "Oh." Zhao Ye nodded, "Then do you think 1999 will be the end of the world?"


    "How is that possible?" Xiang Nan curled his lips, "That''s nonsense."


    “But it’s said that it was the prophecy of Nohis, and it is said that it is quite accurate.” Zhao Ye asked.


    "It''s all nonsense." Xiang Nan curled his lips and said, "For human beings, a thousand years is indeed a very meaningful day. But the life of the earth is as long as 4.5 billion years, and a thousand years is nothing to it. It’s a drop in the bucket, not even enough time to take a nap.


    For 4.5 billion years, the earth has not been destroyed and has been living well in the universe. Now that there are only two months left until the turn of the millennium, what do you think will happen?


    Is it a meteorite falling from the sky, a geomagnetic reversal, or a solar flare? All are impossible. Moreover, if the end of the world really comes, then the most anxious people will not be us poor students, but those high-ranking officials and rich people.


    No one is panicking, so why are you anxious? "


    When the students heard what he said, they all thought it made sense.


    …


    ??Although the end of the world is far away, the New Year’s Day party is very close.


    ? Xiang Nan, Zhao Ye, and Qiao Ran signed up to dance and prepared to dance "Everybody" by Backstreet Boys.


    Xiang Nan learned it after reading it only once.


    ?Hence, those dances can also be considered movements and moves, but they are just the rhythm of the body. They are actually similar to martial arts. And compared to martial arts, these dance moves are much simpler.


    Xiang Nan can learn martial arts in one go, so he can learn to dance even faster. The first time he learns to dance, he is already good at it.


    ?But Qiao Ran and Zhao Ye didn''t learn very well. They often remembered the front and forgot the back, and they didn''t cooperate well. Therefore, to rehearse well, you need to practice more.


    "Zhao Ye, why are you so stupid? Chen Xun learned it in one go. You have danced so many times and you still can''t remember where to put your hands?" Lin Jiamo couldn''t help but have a headache after looking at his clumsy movements. .


    The Backstreet Boys are her favorite group, and "Everybody" is also her favorite song. As a result, Zhao Ye danced like this, which was really ruined. "Don''t worry, I have already danced again. I will learn it after a few more times." Zhao Ye said quickly.


    “Oh, I don’t have any hope anymore.” Lin Jiamo said depressedly.


    "No, I''m practicing, I''m practicing." Zhao Ye said quickly when he saw this.


    …


    Saturday.


    Zhao Ye made an appointment with Xiang Nan and Qiao Ran to practice dancing together.


    “I’ll go, is the New Year’s Day party so important? You don’t even have a day off on Saturdays and Sundays.” Xiang Nan said with a smile.


    “Oh, the Millennium Gala, how can we let things slip at such an important moment? We must show our best.” Zhao Ye explained.


    “I think your purpose is not that simple.” Qiao Ran smiled.


    "I think so too." Xiang Nan nodded, "To be honest, are you afraid of disappointing Jia Mo, that''s why you work so hard?"


    "Where? Who said that? I just want to show off." Zhao Ye said harshly.


    Xiang Nan chuckled and said, "Okay, even the uncle in the reception room can see how much you care about Lin Jiamo. If I were you, I would take advantage of the turn of the millennium to confess your love. So happy, so happy When it’s romantic, it might happen instantly.”


    “Really?” Zhao Ye said excitedly upon hearing this.


    “Look, he said he’s not interested in others.” Qiao Ran said with a smile.


    “Whether it works or not, just give it a try.” Xiang Nan said with a smile, “Even if you fail, it’s still an attempt.”


    “You’re right, if you don’t try, you will never succeed.” Qiao Randu agreed.


    “But what if she doesn’t agree?” Zhao Ye asked worriedly.


    “If you don’t agree, then don’t agree.” Xiang Nan said with a smile, “It’s not that easy to chase a girl. You can succeed in one go. As long as you really like her, then keep chasing her.


    ?The so-called virtuous woman is afraid of pestering men. If she is sincere, metal and stone will be opened. If Jiamo can be friends with you, it means he doesn''t hate you. As long as you show sincerity, she will definitely consider you. I think this has a 60% success rate. "


    “Only 60%?” Zhao Ye widened his eyes when he heard this.


    "Sixty percent is already a lot." Xiang Nan explained, "Think about it, if you want to pursue Ruby Lin, don''t you even have a success rate of one in ten thousand? In comparison, sixty percent is quite high. ?”


    "That''s right, haven''t you heard what the pheasant said in "The Dragon Crossing the River"? If you meet a girl you like, you must be bold, careful and thick-skinned. If you open your mouth, you will have a 50% chance. If you don''t, the chance will be 50%. It’s equal to zero." Qiao Ran also advised.


    “Well, that makes sense.” Zhao Ye nodded, “Okay, then I’ll give it a try.”


    …


    “Hey, Chen Xun, you have done such thorough research, are you with someone?” Zhao Ye asked curiously.


    Although Xiang Nan and Fang Hui have been together for a long time, they have never explained it to the outside world.


    ?Except for Qiao Ran and Lin Jiamo, who seemed to be aware of it, everyone else had been kept in the dark.


    ??Zhao Ye was always snoring loudly, so naturally he didn''t notice it.


    "Nothing, but who are you, brother? Can you hide this kind of thing from me?" Xiang Nan said proudly.


    "Virtue." Zhao Ye smiled, "But can it really be achieved?"


    “Don’t worry too much, you won’t die if you try.” Xiang Nan advised.


    "Um."
