Before class, everyone was still discussing the just-passed Christmas. As soon as the bell rang, the students lazily took their seats.
When the teacher started writing chemical formulas on the blackboard, a boy sitting next to Chen Nuo quietly took out a pirated copy of The Twin Legends of the Tang Dynasty under his desk.
Chen Nuo, on the other hand, opened his exercise book, which had a map夹在里面.
Jinling was about 1,800 kilometers away from Seoul.
So, how was he going to get there?
Of course, it was impossible to jump into the Yangtze River and then swim all the way out to sea. Steal a boat and secretly sail there, and then land on the coastline of South Korea?
Did he think the South Korean navy guards were just for show? If he really encountered them, a single shell from a gunboat could end Chen Nuo's second chance at life.
In the vast ocean, there would be nowhere to run.
His eyes wandered over the map and finally settled on two locations...
The Yalu River... The 38th Parallel...
So, the difficult problems he had to deal with were the border guards of North Korea and... the White Tiger Regiment of South Korea?
Oh, right, the White Tiger Regiment was the prototype of the Special Warfare Command in Descendants of the Sun where Song Joong-ki's character served.
Well.
Chen Nuo glanced at the The Twin Legends of the Tang Dynasty of the boy next to him, and then at the map in front of him. He suddenly felt a little envious.
It was nice to be carefree.
"Luo Qing! You answer!"
The chemistry teacher's voice made the male classmate next to him jump, but he skillfully stuffed The Twin Legends of the Tang Dynasty into his desk, stood up, and calmly looked at the chemical formula on the blackboard.
"Umm..."
The chemistry teacher glared at him and then looked at Chen Nuo.
"You answer..."
"..." Chen Nuo stood up, thought for a moment, and said, "Mouth Du Du?"
Well, as expected, he had to stand outside the classroom and listen to the rest of this chemistry class.
Before the class ended, Chen Nuo, who was standing outside the classroom, saw Dean Sun walking towards him from a distance.
"Student Chen Nuo." Dean Sun thought for a moment, "It was a bit hasty the other day. I actually want to thank you properly. If it weren't for you catching her down there..."
"You're welcome, Dean Sun. I just happened to be there by chance." Chen Nuo immediately replied.
"Is there anything wrong with your body?"
"Nothing's wrong."
Not only was there nothing wrong, but he was even secretly pleased. If the school beauty was willing, she could jump a few more times.
Of course, Dean Sun didn't have the ability to read minds. He patted Chen Nuo's shoulder kindly and walked away.
After experiencing these two or three days, he found that Old Sun wasn't a bad person and was quite conscientious.
Well, he was just a bit old-fashioned.
Sigh, I hope his neighbor isn't surnamed Wang. May good people have a peaceful life.
Life in school was calm and boring.
Bah! Get lost, Zhu Yidan.
Life in school had that peaceful and quiet flavor.
Chen Nuo, who had slept soundly in class in the afternoon, walked out of the school gate with his hands in his pockets.
He turned into a supermarket and then turned around and went back to the school.
Teacher Liu from the Academic Affairs Office wasn't really a teacher.
He was just a hardworking employee working for a private education company...
The school reform was imminent. No. 8 Middle School, whose college entrance examination enrollment rate had almost dropped to the bottom of the district, was about to be converted into a private school. Of course, the capital side wasn't stupid. What they needed was just the shell of No. 8 Middle School, a school-running qualification.
As for turning it into an international school and spending money to buy a prestigious name like Eton in the future, that would be a matter of a few years later.
And this Employee Liu was just a planning director sent by the education company to the school to be in charge of academic affairs.
When Chen Nuo knocked on the door of the Academic Affairs Office, Employee Liu was sitting in front of the computer.
When Chen Nuo entered, Employee Liu seemed to quickly close the screen. But at that moment, Chen Nuo still saw the game screen of Mir 2 reflected in the glass of the window behind him.
Well, he really wanted to tell Employee Liu that this game cost a lot of money and could be regarded as the originator of money-grabbing online games.
As an employee, he couldn't afford it. It would be better to wait for the Blue Moon advertised by渣渣辉a dozen years later...
Well, forget it. That was even more of a rip-off, and he probably couldn't afford it either.
"Student, what's the matter?" Employee Liu's tone was a bit impatient. Obviously, he was still in the initial stage of the game where a Taoist and a dog could conquer the world, and he was really annoyed to be interrupted.
Chen Nuo smiled as innocently as a teenager, and his tone was also very gentle, "Teacher Liu, about the exchange competition group going to Yanbian organized by the school..."
"You can submit the registration in your class."
"I didn't register." Chen Nuo shook his head. Before Employee Liu could speak, he continued, "I heard there are some spots for student representatives for inspection and exchange..."
Employee Liu sized up Chen Nuo, and his tone turned cold, "Student representatives for inspection and exchange must be recommended by the grade and have the signatures of the homeroom teacher and the grade leader." Chen Nuo seemed not to hear the coldness in the other's tone. He smiled and took out a small envelope from his pocket and pushed it in front of Employee Liu.
Employee Liu frowned and opened the envelope to take a look.
A supermarket shopping card worth 500 yuan was lying quietly in the envelope.
"...However, there are still three spots for volunteers. Do you understand what a volunteer is, student? That is, to go with the group, eat and live together, but you need to help other students in the group with some service work." Employee Liu's attitude became very amiable.
"No problem for me." Chen Nuo smiled.
Employee Liu let out a sigh of relief and quietly put the envelope into the drawer, "Prepare your personal information, copies of your student ID and ID card..."
Chen Nuo took out another envelope, "It's all here." Employee Liu was a bit surprised and sized up the teenager in front of him again.
He had a delicate and handsome face, a bit thin, and gave the impression of being very quiet and steady.
He opened the envelope and glanced at the information, then nodded, "Okay, you can go back. The list of students in the exchange group will be announced in the afternoon."
"Thank you, teacher." Chen Nuo smiled, showing his eight teeth, and then turned and left.
This small bribe wasn't very illogical. After all, this exchange group was actually just a free student tour group. Two bad schools with the lowest college entrance examination enrollment rates, what was there to exchange? It was just that the higher-ups wanted to create some momentum and fanfare to build momentum for the school reform.
500 yuan in exchange for a free tour group that provided accommodation and meals was acceptable.
Moreover, Employee Liu's salary wasn't high. Well... Mir 2 was also quite expensive.
When school was over in the afternoon, the school beauty, Sun Keke, was still in a bad mood.
In the math pop quiz, Sun Keke unfortunately didn't pass.
In fact, she wasn't the kind of student who was playful and厌学.
To be fair, Sun Keke was the kind of student who was very studious, listened carefully in class, worked hard to do practice questions after class, and then... after great effort, she could steadily get a score of 60 in the exam.
But this time, she unfortunately failed. She got the last big question wrong and didn't even reach 60 points.
When she reached the school gate, she glanced at the announcement list of the exchange competition group to Yanbian on the blackboard wall.
The girl suddenly remembered what Chen Nuo had said to her and subconsciously scanned the list.
Then she saw the boy's name written on the list of volunteers.
"He really is going to see the snow."
Suddenly, for some reason, Sun Keke's mood improved. She skipped and ran to the dean's office.
She pushed the door open.
"Dad, I want to participate in the exchange competition group to Yanbian."
Dean Sun, who was lowering his head to read a book, looked up at his daughter and frowned, "You said you weren't interested before. Why do you want to go now?"
"To... see the snow."
"The spots are full."
"I don't care~~~" Sun Keke thought for a moment, "I can go with the school choir."
"You said you didn't like singing and quit the choir before." "...I like it again now! Humph!"
"Why are you humming?"
"Humph!!!"
So, as expected, when they were about to depart on January 3rd, Chen Nuo saw the charming Sun Keke in the standing team on the platform of the train station.
The little girl was quite excited. She was wearing a beige down jacket and a big white woolen scarf around her neck, making her small face look only as big as a palm.
"Students in the volunteer group, come and help move the luggage." The team leader was a female teacher from the Academic Affairs Office.
Sun Keke had already seen Chen Nuo and waved to him. There was an unhidden smile on the girl's face. Chen Nuo thought for a moment and then walked over. He was just about to help Sun Keke carry the suitcase...
A big hand reached out directly and grabbed Sun Keke's suitcase.
Huh? There was actually someone grabbing...
Chen Nuo looked up and saw Dean Sun's square and big face.
The teenager's face immediately changed into a smile.
"Dean Sun, you came to see us off too."
"...Hmm!"
To be honest, Dean Sun originally thought this boy was quite nice. After all, he had saved his daughter once. Whether it was by coincidence or an accident, he had to acknowledge this favor. Moreover, after looking at Chen Nuo's family information later, besides being grateful, Old Sun felt more sympathy for this seemingly harmless boy when he smiled.
But the problem was that just a second ago, the person who he thought was quite nice suddenly didn't seem right anymore!!!
His daughter had been clamoring to participate in this exchange group, and then today on the platform, he actually saw this boy?
His daughter even waved and smiled at him?
Dean Sun felt a bit uneasy.
Was it a bit too coincidental that these two kids kept running into each other? They met when his daughter fell from upstairs, and now they met again in a school-organized activity?
I hope I'm just overthinking it...
"Why did you participate in this group? I didn't see your name in the announcement."
"I wanted to go, so I did. It's none of your business."
"What are you going for?"
"To see the snow. Humph~"
Chen Nuo: "..."
Dean Sun was carrying the suitcase and walking forward when he suddenly saw in the reflection of the glass window of the train in front of him that his daughter was glaring at this boy.
Although it was a glare, that expression, no matter how he looked at it, seemed a bit like she was acting coquettishly?
Old Sun suddenly felt a bit nervous.
The white, tender, and水灵ling cabbage he had raised at home for so many years...
Now he suddenly saw that outside the yard, there was... there was this good-looking little piglet wandering around!
The more he thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable!!!
No one paid attention to the mixed feelings in Old Sun's heart because a whistle blew, and the train slowly started moving. Watching his daughter smile and wave goodbye to him through the car window, Old Sun suddenly regretted... Why did he turn down the job of leading this exchange group in the first place?
He had been too hasty!
Watching the train slowly move away, his mind was filled with the image of his daughter glaring and acting coquettishly at this boy just now.
He couldn't think about it anymore. If he thought more, there would be more images that he didn't dare to think about...
