Chen Nuo was looking at Sun Keke... his classmate.
Well, Sun Keke was the one who "jumped off the building."
She had a pretty and delicate face, but what made her especially charming were her almond - shaped eyes, which gave her an alluring look.
At this time and age, most girls of her age didn't wear much makeup. But with her natural looks, she was definitely a beauty.
She could even be considered the school beauty.
And if you added her... well, her C - cup figure, that was definitely an extra bonus!
At the moment, the two of them weren't at the accident scene outside the classroom.
Instead, they were standing neatly in the dean's office.
The incident of the attempted跳楼 had become the biggest news at No. 8 Middle School today.
Fortunately, Chen Nuo's classroom was on the first floor, and the school beauty had fallen from the second floor. If the floor had been higher, even a D, E, F, or G - cup figure wouldn't have made a difference.
At the moment, what Chen Nuo was most curious about was why this girl was staring at him like that.
A cough from outside the door made Chen Nuo quickly look away.
It seemed that in every school in the world, the deans all had the same serious and rigid look.
Dean Sun was no exception. Besides his tobacco - stained fingers, he also had that affected way of speaking.
"... I just happened to be standing there, and then she fell from upstairs and landed on me." Chen Nuo thought for a moment and tried his best to put on an innocent smile, "So, I guess you could say I saved her?"
Dean Sun had a serious expression, "The school infirmary has already examined her? Is there nothing serious?"
"No."
Dean Sun let out a sigh of relief, then looked past Chen Nuo and stared at Sun Keke, "You jumped off the building?? Why on earth would you do that??"
The school beauty, under the scrutiny of the two men, finally spoke up.
"I was leaning on the railing on the second floor, looking... um, looking at the scenery, and then I accidentally fell." The school beauty was a bit nervous, "Dad... I didn't jump!"
Dad? Chen Nuo looked at the school beauty's almond - shaped eyes and her beautiful face in surprise, then at Dean Sun's square and weathered face...
She must be adopted! This is so unfair!
"Student Chen Nuo, anyway, thank you very much." Dean Sun looked at Chen Nuo seriously, "Are you injured? Do you feel unwell anywhere? I've already asked for leave from your homeroom teacher. Do you want to go to the hospital for a check - up? Should I contact your parents?"
Chen Nuo waved his hands repeatedly, putting on an innocent look like a young boy, "Teacher, I'm really okay. Maybe it was just lucky, but I'm not hurt at all."
"I've already asked for leave for you. You can go home and rest this afternoon... But are you sure you don't need me to take you to the hospital?" Dean Sun still seemed a bit worried.
Chen Nuo suddenly withdrew his hand that was about to push the door open. He turned around, and his face showed the shyness and unease typical of a young person, looking extremely sincere.
"Well... Dean Sun, there is actually a small favor I'd like to ask. I wonder if it would be convenient for you..."
"Just tell me!"
Chen Nuo put on an expression of a young boy's shyness and embarrassment, "Could you lend me fifty yuan? I feel a bit dizzy right now and can't ride my bike."
Dean Sun took out his wallet, pulled out a hundred - yuan bill, and after thinking for a moment, took out two more.
"Take it! It's better to go to the hospital for a check - up!"
Three hundred yuan was a considerable amount of money at that time.
But considering that his daughter had been saved, Dean Sun didn't hesitate to take out the money.
Chen Nuo stood outside the school gate, looking at the bicycles parked along the roadside, then at the bike key he took out of his pocket, and sighed.
The problem was simple: he didn't know which bicycle was his.
With the 300 yuan he got from the dean in his pocket, Chen Nuo walked towards the nearby bus stop.
Well, he had found a student bus monthly pass in his schoolbag.
Now, it's time to explain Chen Nuo's current situation.
Dying and somehow traveling back from 2021 to 2000 wasn't exactly unheard of.
After all, there were countless examples of this in various movies, TV shows, novels, and stories, enough to circle the Earth.
The problem was, although his previous life was also named Chen Nuo, and his hometown was also Jinling, and he grew up there...
This Chen Nuo was not the same as the one in his previous life.
So, he had transmigrated into the body of a young man with the same name?
For him, this was a strange school, strange classmates, strange teachers.
And a strange family!
It wasn't difficult to find his home.
Chen Nuo found a filled - out League application form in his schoolbag.
It had his address on it.
After finding this unfamiliar home, Chen Nuo spent an afternoon finally figuring out his current situation. He was an ordinary high school student in Class 6, Grade 11 of No. 8 Middle School in Jiangning District, Jinling.
By the way, No. 8 High School in Jiangning wasn't a prestigious key school. To be exact, this school had only been converted from a vocational high school to an ordinary high school a year ago.
As for the school spirit and college entrance examination enrollment rate... well, with its vocational high school background, you can imagine.
And as for Chen Nuo's own identity...
Let's just say that the "new account" given to him by fate was rather delicate.
The Chen Nuo in this time and space, well, he had a rather tragic life.
His parents divorced when he was young. His father was said to have gone into business and then gone abroad to open a Chinese restaurant. Anyway, he had disappeared without a trace.
Chen Nuo's mother remarried six years ago... but she didn't completely abandon her son like in a cheesy drama. She left some money and entrusted Chen Nuo to his grandmother.
She was somewhat conscientious, as she used to visit her son regularly.
But unfortunately, three years ago, her second husband owed a large amount of gambling debt. In order to help him pay off the debt, she embezzled a large sum of public funds, and then, even more unfortunately, she was caught.
... Now, both of them were serving time in prison, undergoing mandatory re - education.
And just last year, the young man living with his grandmother suffered another heavy blow.
The old lady passed away.
Now, at the age of 17 years and 6 months, Chen Nuo was all alone.
Of course, the neighborhood committee, considering the special circumstances of Chen Nuo's family, assigned a clerk to visit him regularly and take care of his life. - This was already very responsible.
The house wasn't big. It was a two - bedroom apartment left by the old lady.
It was an old - fashioned unit building built in the 1980s. The walls of the corridor were covered with all kinds of small advertisements.
The walls were painted white, and the floor was covered with the cheap plastic carpets typical of that era.
The furniture was also old - fashioned.
The TV wasn't big. It was the old - fashioned cathode - ray tube color TV typical of that era - the age of liquid - crystal displays hadn't arrived yet.
And of course, there was no computer.
Chen Nuo found more than 600 yuan in cash at home.
This was his living expenses.
After the old lady passed away, she left a sum of money, her life's savings of more than 20,000 yuan. Since Chen Nuo was still a student, the neighborhood committee managed this money and gave him a monthly living allowance.
There was no property ownership certificate, of course. The old lady's house was allocated by her former unit, and the property rights belonged to the unit.
Although the housing reform had taken place, it was clear that the young man didn't have the money to buy it. So, he could only make do with living here.
"Well, it's not too bad." Chen Nuo let out a sigh.
With a simple social background and this "lone star of doom" persona, he could avoid a lot of trouble.
Chen Nuo wasn't reconciled.
He couldn't help but make a trip... to be exact, he was also very curious and wanted to see himself at this age.
The real him!
However, he was disappointed. He found the address where he lived at this age in his previous life. When he knocked on the door, a chubby guy holding instant noodles stood there.
After looking around, Chen Nuo finally confirmed one thing.
Everything was the same, including his neighbors from his previous life, the snobbish owner of the downstairs grocery store, and the chubby kid who often bullied him in the next - door building.
Everyone was there.
Except... himself.
In this timeline, his previous self had disappeared.
There was only this "lone star of doom" version of Chen Nuo.
With his hands in his pockets, Chen Nuo strolled in the night, ready to leave.
When passing by the downstairs grocery store, Chen Nuo bought a pack of cigarettes. The familiar yet unfamiliar snobbish store owner glanced at Chen Nuo's young face and his blue - and - white school uniform, and quietly handed him a pack of Yuxi cigarettes.
Chen Nuo touched it.
Well, as expected.
It was a fake.
Chen Nuo smiled. Just like in his memory.
The TV in the grocery store was playing a pirated disc. The young and beautiful Song Hye - kyo was crying in the arms of Song Seung - heon.
Well, Autumn in My Heart, a phenomenon - level TV drama in 2000 that was popular across Asia.
Song Hye - kyo's beauty was truly outstanding. Otherwise, twenty years later, she wouldn't have been able to date the much younger Song Joong - ki.
But Song Seung - heon... Chen Nuo sighed. He was the one who dated Liu Yifei a dozen years later. With these random thoughts in his head.
Suddenly, Chen Nuo's expression changed. He seemed to have remembered something!
Half an hour later, Chen Nuo entered an internet café... In 2000, internet cafés were still a rare thing, and the cost of surfing the Internet was quite high.
Of course, there were cheaper places, but they were called computer rooms, and the computers there had games like Red Alert and StarCraft.
But most of the computers couldn't access the Internet.
This internet café was a relatively high - end place.
Chen Nuo endured the various glitches of the Windows 98 system and then searched for the information he wanted.
Ten minutes later, Chen Nuo let out a sigh, subconsciously took out the pack of Yuxi cigarettes, and lit one for himself.
The pungent taste of the fake cigarette made him want to cough, but his brows were tightly furrowed.
"This is a bit... troublesome."
Hi, I'm Chen Nuo, a high school student at No. 8 Middle School in Jiangning District. I like computers and games, and I hate chemistry class and the periodic table of elements.
Of course, none of that matters right now.
The biggest problem at the moment is: I have to find a way to get to Seoul, the capital of South Korea... Oh, right, in 2000, it wasn't called Seoul yet. It was still called [Han - yang].
As for why I have to reach Han - yang within fifteen days...
Because at around twelve o'clock in the evening fifteen days later, someone will encounter the most tragic and terrifying thing in their life!
So, here's the question.
I don't have the money to buy a plane ticket, I don't have a passport to go abroad, and I don't have a visa to South Korea. And there's not enough time to apply for them within fifteen days. (This is important.)
So, how can a 17 - year - old high school student with no money, no documents, and no legal way to go abroad manage to travel abroad and reach Han - yang, the capital of South Korea within fifteen days?
Urgent, waiting online.
