"It's a pity that I didn't manage to get a haircut."
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, after returning from his maternal grandmother and uncle's house, Chen Yu sighed regretfully as he stood in front of his neighborhood's entrance.
"Pa!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mother Chen slapped him on the head. "Do you want to die?
If your uncle heard this, he would tear you apart! "
"Mom, you're too superstitious.
How can someone as strong as my uncle be killed by a decapitation spell? "Chen Yu curled his lips." If it's really that effective, then wasn't Chen Xiang sick of practicing martial arts to save her mother?
Wouldn't it be better to just take a pair of scissors and sit in front of Erlang Shen's house to cut his hair?
Asking Erlang Shen if he was convinced?
If you don't like it, then cut your own hair. "
"Chen Yu, I don't want to scold you during Chinese New Year. Stay away from me," Mother Chen said, clenching her fists.
"Alright."
With two frozen chickens in his left hand and Chen Sanke in his right, Chen Yu took the lead and entered the elevator.
"Big Brother, why can't we get a haircut in January?"
"Feudal superstition, saying that cutting one's hair in the first month will kill one's uncle.
We of the younger generation are smart and don't believe in that. "
"Oh."
Chen Sanke nodded, not really understanding. "Then when I grow up and have a child, I … I'll also ask him to cut it on the first lunar month …"
"Pa!"
Chen Yu slapped the latter half of Chen Sanke's sentence back down her throat. "What?"
Riding the elevator to the Chen family's floor, Chen Yu unlocked the door and pulled open the security door. Immediately after, a shadow pounced on him.
"Pikachu!" Chen Sanke excitedly opened her arms and hugged the husky.
"Woof!" The husky wagged its tail wildly, making the paper lanterns in the house ring loudly.
After changing into slippers, Chen Yu placed the two frozen chickens into the fridge. He then stroked the dog's head and said to Chen Sanke, "You got touched by a dirty animal. You need to wash your hands."
"Woof!"
The husky nodded in agreement and ran into the bathroom. It lay on the sink, turned on the faucet with its nose, and washed its paws.
"… Damn it!
Don't stop me!
I'm going to stew it! "
Hugging Chen Yu's thigh tightly, Chen Sanke said, "Big Brother!
No … "
Not long after, the security door opened, and his family returned home with bags of various sizes.
"Ah, I'm finally home." Chen Yike put down her backpack, rushed into the living room, and collapsed on the sofa. "Home is still the best."
"Chen Yu, can't you wait for us?
Help me carry some things? "Mother Chen was furious.
"You were the one who told me to stay away."
After Chen Yu finished washing up in the bathroom, he used his key to unlock his bedroom door. He then pushed open the door and said, "That idiot Liu Xiaojun has been tormenting me all night. I'm going to catch up on my sleep. Don't call me when it's time to eat."
Bang!
The door was shut and locked.
"This child seems to be sick." Mother Chen frowned. "He hides himself so well every day."
"You already have a girlfriend."
As Papa Chen tidied up the fridge, he waved his hand nonchalantly. "You've also reached puberty. It's understandable that you want your own private space."
"Now that you have a vixen, you don't want us anymore." Chen Erke pouted and said sourly, "I want to sleep with my brother tonight."
Chen Yike was the only one who remained silent as she stared at Chen Yu's door with her phone tightly clenched in her pocket. No one knew what she was thinking about.
…
"Mr. Chen!
You're back! "
"Shh. Keep it down."
Removing his jacket, Chen Yu turned around to look at the door. He then asked Little Peach, "Did you get into any trouble with the husky over the past two days?"
"No." Shaking her head, Little Peach said, "Pikachu has been very obedient."
"I'm mainly talking about you."
"... Little Peach has also been very obedient..."
"There's a but, right?"
"Huh?" Surprised, Little Peach asked, "How did you know?"
"Dammit!
There's really a but?! "
"I-I had a serious bug in one of my software projects, so I lost some money," Little Peach said, lowering her head.
"Is that the only thing?" Chen Yu asked suspiciously.
"I promise!
That's the only thing! "
"How much did you lose?"
"One … One hundred and seventy thousand …" Little Peach gestured a "nine."
"Alright, it doesn't matter."
Without even looking at Little Peach, Chen Yu turned around and sat on his bed. "170,000 is nothing. It's fine as long as I don't cause any major trouble."
"Mr. Chen, rest assured. I will definitely win it back next time!"
"Huh?"
"No, I will definitely win it back!"
Chen Yu faintly felt that something was amiss. However, he did not dwell on it. Instead, he asked about the issue he was more concerned about right now, "How's the establishment of the Transdimensional Website coming along?"
"I already hypothesized it yesterday." Patting her chest proudly, Little Peach said, "I'm the best at this aspect. There won't be any problems with the website running.
The students invited by the Academy have already registered their information there. "
"How many have been registered?"
"Let me see." Sitting back at the main desk, Little Peach typed a few times on the keyboard and said, "1,633!"
"In that case, don't take on jobs to earn money for the time being. Check these students' information properly and filter them out if there are any with sensitive identities."
"Okay!"
"Also, send the information of those top students to my phone. Use Bluetooth."
"Understood."
Lying on his bed, Chen Yu pulled out his phone and browsed through the news for the past two days. He then started browsing through the student information Little Peach had sent him.
He browsed through the information quickly.
He skipped through the men's information, took a second look at the women's information, and left a note for the particularly beautiful ones. He would consider adding points for the interview...
Chen Yu did not think that he was going overboard.
After all, this was what every qualified headmaster should do...
...
Time passed by quickly like a whirlpool in a toilet bowl.
There was still a week until Transdimensional Review's ninth official livestream. However, the world's governments were already tense.
This was because today was the day of the Transdimensional Academy's student selection.
According to the countless popular science books stored in the castle, every official student of the Transdimensional Academy was destined to become a national treasure in the future.
Moreover, as the saying went, a shallow friendship was more important than a deep relationship between a master and his disciple.
Among the various emotional relationships of humans, the relationship between a master and his disciple had always been a special and profound existence. This had been the case since ancient times.
If they could form a deep friendship with Transdimensional's UP, it would be a major breakthrough in all aspects, no matter which force it was.
Hence, every government naturally wanted to fight for such a precious opportunity.
Hence, the small floating castle had become the world's second arena, aside from the Olympics...
Whoosh —
A Boeing plane landed smoothly on the runway of Light Island's Third Airport. Several ferries immediately drove forward to pick up the 100-plus teenagers that had just disembarked.
These teenagers were all from China. Just after the New Year, they had hurried to Beijing to take a connecting flight to Light of Civilization Island to participate in the most important exam of their lives.
"That's the floating castle above us, right?"
Upon entering the ferry, a bespectacled female student looked at the small black dot in the sky. Biting her lip in excitement, she said, "It's so romantic. I really want to live on it."
"If we really live on it, I'll have to call you Academician Tang from now on."
Wearing a pair of headphones, the young man sitting beside her took a deep breath and said, "Don't be nervous during the exam. Whether you become a father or a grandson depends on this one."
"You're the one who's more nervous, right?" The bespectacled girl leaned back in her seat and spread her hands. "I only care about participating. Even if it's normal, I don't have much hope.
You're the boss of Third High, so don't be nervous. Just perform steadily. "
"Stop talking." Turning to look at the silent students around him, the young man lowered his voice and said, "Conserve your energy."
Twenty minutes later...
Under the leadership of several leaders, the crowd walked into the airport.
When they turned around the corridor and entered the airport lobby, they were dumbfounded by the scene before them.
"Crap?
Isn't this too much... "
...
