On March 1st, all schools in Jinzhou City reopened.
At 7: 30 AM, the Chen family's four young masters finished their breakfast and left for school together.
As usual, Chen Yu carried his and his three little sisters' backpacks and led the way like a walking shelf.
"Ah... Why does time pass so quickly?"
After entering the elevator, Chen Erke pouted in dissatisfaction. "I haven't finished my winter homework yet."
"You still have the nerve to say that?" Chen Yike narrowed her eyes. "You've been playing with your phone for the entire holiday. Just wait for the form teacher to give you a beating."
"Impossible!
I'm the class monitor. I'm the one who checks the students' homework.
How can I let others know that I haven't done my homework? "
"Aren't you afraid of the form teacher doing a spot check?"
"When the time comes, I'll just find a random classmate's homework and write my name on it." Chen Erke puffed out her chest proudly. She was obviously prepared for anything.
"You're using your power for personal gain," Chen Yu said disdainfully. "Do you still look like a student?"
"Did you do your winter homework, then?" Chen Erke asked, unconvinced.
"Heh, I haven't done any homework since kindergarten," Chen Yu said proudly.
Chen Erke: "..."
Holding her forehead, Chen Yike said, "What's there to be proud of?"
"Wow!" Chen Sanke applauded. "Big Brother, you're amazing!"
"It's not bad.
It mainly tests my perseverance and endurance. "
"Don't lead children astray!"
After exiting the elevator and following the predetermined route, the four arrived at Chen Sanke's kindergarten in five minutes.
Stopping, Chen Yu placed his backpack on Chen Sanke's back and patted her head. "Go to school. Listen to the teacher and have fun. Make sure you don't fall."
"Ang!" Nodding her head, Chen Sanke staggered into the school gate with her two short legs.
"Let's go."
After watching Chen Sanke being led into the classroom by a female teacher, Chen Yu relaxed and continued leading the way.
Eight minutes later, the three arrived at a bustling elementary school.
"Take this." Passing the backpack to Chen Erke, Chen Yu hooked his finger and said, "Give me your phone."
"Huh?" Taking a step back, Chen Erke said, "I didn't bring my phone."
"Nonsense. Hurry up and give it to me."
"I really didn't bring it."
Shrugging, Chen Erke said, "A student's duty is to study hard. How can I possibly bring my phone to school?"
"Do you believe what you just said?"
"… I don't believe it."
"Give it to me."
"Hmm …" Chen Erke bit her lip and struggled for a long time. She untied her pants and reluctantly took out her phone from her crotch.
"..." Chen Yu was dumbfounded.
Chen Yike couldn't bear to watch.
"Here." After placing the phone in Chen Yu's hand, Chen Erke angrily turned around and ran into the campus, disappearing from sight.
"… I can't take this little sister anymore."
"Yes."
…
After sending off his three little sisters, Chen Yu crossed four traffic lights and arrived at Jinzhou City's Sixth High School.
Walking into Class 2-2, the classroom was the same as usual.
Some were snacking, some were showing off their affection, some were bragging, and some were watching anime.
"Hey!
Brother Chen is here? "
On the balcony, Li Liang touched his bald head and greeted warmly, "Happy New Year."
Squinting his eyes, Chen Yu asked, "The school installed balcony lights?"
"Your mouth is becoming more and more inhuman."
"How was your winter break?"
Sitting down on a chair, Chen Yu tossed his bag aside and crossed his legs. "It seems your arms have gotten a lot stronger."
"It's still better than grinding an iron pillar into a needle," Li Liang said as he adjusted his pants.
"Tsk, tsk. My teeth are aching from the sourness."
"Idiot."
"Idiot …"
After exchanging some pleasantries with his long-lost friend and expressing their deep friendship, Chen Yu opened his bag and blew at it. Whoosh!
Dust scattered into the air.
"Ptui." Li Liang said disdainfully, "You haven't read the books inside since the break began, right?"
"You read them during the break?" Chen Yu asked, raising an eyebrow.
Patting his bag proudly, Li Liang said, "I've never read them."
"Tch." A male student sitting behind him rolled his eyes. "As if you've read them before."
"Textbooks?" The female student sitting on the right raised her hand. "I've never read them before, either."
"Why are you reading books instead of playing with your phone?
Are you crazy? "
"Books?
What's a book? "
Seeing that the students around him had started discussing academic issues, Chen Yu nodded in satisfaction. "Sixth High is humanity's hope …"
After tidying up his books, Chen Yu leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes, quietly listening to his classmates' conversations.
With the improvement of his physique, Chen Yu's hearing had become even more outstanding. He could even hear the conversations of the class next door.
Unsurprisingly, almost all the students were discussing China's upcoming Mars landing activities.
This matter had already become the focus of discussion around the world.
However, with his excellent hearing, Chen Yu could also hear some people whispering among themselves. Among them, the frequency of Transdimensional Review's mention was extremely high.
Evidently, the government's information blockade had completely failed due to the "impact" he had been broadcasting.
Following this, the number of viewers for every review program would increase exponentially!
"I'll just take it one step at a time …"
"Hey, Brother Chen." Shortly afterward, Li Liang, who was feeling bored, suddenly jumped off the balcony and approached Chen Yu. "Did you hear?
Our class's form teacher has changed. "
"Who?"
"I heard it's a woman. I think she was transferred from the province."
"I say, who was the original form teacher?"
"…"
"I can't remember. Who is it?"
"… Our language teacher. A man."
"Oh!
Him? "
With his eyes still closed, Chen Yu nodded and said, "It's good that she's gone. He brainwashed me with his singing during last year's exam. Even now, when I sleep, he still plays' I can't be separated from my motherland for even a moment. 'It's good that he's gone."
After observing his surroundings, Li Liang leaned closer to Chen Yu's ear and lowered his voice. He then brought up the topic he truly wanted to talk about, "Brother Chen, do you know that our country's rocket is going to Mars?"
"There's nothing I don't know about, right?" Chen Yu said as he opened his eyes.
"Actually, there's an inside story here!" Li Liang said in an even lower voice. He then mysteriously winked at Chen Yu and asked, "Do you know about Transdimensional Review?"
"I do." Chen Yu nodded.
"Huh?" Li Liang was stunned.
"I said I know about it."
"H-How did you know?"
"Xing Biqi told me about it in the past."
"A-Under normal circumstances, you shouldn't know about it!
Then, you'll ask me, and I'll keep you in suspense for a while. I'll tell you the truth hidden under the world, and you'll be shocked … "
"Did you read too many third-rate web novels?
Do you think the readers can't see through such a blatant word-count? "Chen Yu said as he slammed his fist on the table.
"…"
"Is there anything else?
If not, scram. "
After watching Li Liang leave with his bald head, Chen Yu yawned. He then took out the earplugs he had specially bought and plugged his ears. Just as he was about to go back to sleep, a faint fragrance drifted into his nose.
"Xing Biqi?"
Opening his eyes once more, Chen Yu saw a slim and elegant girl standing before him.
"Chen Yu, long time no see," Xing Biqi said with a ruddy complexion and a happy smile on her face.
"Mhm, long time no see."
Perfunctorily raising his hand, Chen Yu pointed at the lunchbox Xing Biqi was carrying and asked, "Did you bring this for me?"
"Mhm!"
Xing Biqi nodded vigorously. She then took off the lunchbox and placed it on the table. Slowly opening it, she revealed a sumptuous breakfast. "I made it this morning. Try it."
"There are so many different styles?"
"Hehe."
Gently twirling her hair, the girl said, "This is a puff, this is a fruit skewer, this is a shumai, this is a vegetable bun, and there's also a tomato sauce fried egg …"
Gulp.
Before Chen Yu could react, Li Liang couldn't help but gulp. "Aren't you afraid of having a stomachache eating so much oil so early in the morning?"
"I've already removed the oil," Xing Biqi retorted. Immediately afterward, she was stunned. "Huh?
There's someone on the balcony! "
"…"
"Right, you're Li Liang!
Why are you still sitting on the balcony? "
"Dammit!
Did you just notice me? "
"I-I didn't notice." Scratching her head, the girl asked, "Li Liang, are you going to be a holdout on the balcony?"
"Are you envious of me?
I can't buy it even with money! "Li Liang immediately grew excited at the mention of his seat." Who wouldn't look up to me while sitting on this throne?
You can't even buy it with money. "
While the three were conversing, a tall woman wearing a teacher's uniform walked into the classroom.
From her angle, she could immediately see Li Liang dancing with joy. "Who's lighting up there?"
Li Liang: "?"
"Turn it off!" the female teacher bellowed. "Don't you want to dazzle my eyes in broad daylight?"
Li Liang: "…"
Walking up to the lectern, the female teacher placed her handbag on the table and said loudly, "Students, from today onwards, I will be your new form teacher.
It won't be long before the college entrance examination. I hope you can follow my plans during this period … Why is that light bulb still on?! "
The students turned their heads simultaneously, squinting at Li Liang's bald head.
"T-Teacher." Li Liang raised his hand hesitantly. "Are you talking about me?"
"Huh?"
The female teacher narrowed her eyes and put on her glasses. Looking at Li Liang, she was surprised. "It's actually a head?"
Li Liang replied, "You didn't expect that, right?!"
"Ahahaha!"
"Oh, oh, oh, oh."
"Hahaha …"
The classroom instantly erupted in laughter.
"Quiet!" The female teacher picked up the blackboard eraser and slapped it hard on the blackboard. "Shut up!
Whoever laughs again will sweep the classroom for a month. "
The uproar gradually died down.
She gently pushed her glasses and said in a serious tone, "Student, please return to your original seat.
Class is about to start. "
"Teacher, this is my seat."
Hearing this, the female teacher's expression changed subtly. She took out a ruler from her bag and walked to the windowsill, sizing him up. "What's your name?"
"Li … Li Liang." Li Liang had a bad feeling and shrank his body.
"Student Li Liang, please extend your palm."
"Old …"
"Extend it."
"I …"
"Are you extending it or not?" The female teacher raised the ruler.
Li Liang tentatively stretched out his hand, and the ruler fell in an instant. However, it didn't hit him squarely, and merely stuck to his palm.
"Student Li Liang, repeat what you just said."
"My … my seat is here."
Hearing that Li Liang dared to repeat it, the female teacher's eyes flashed and the ruler fell.
"Pa!"
"Ow ~"
Grabbing Li Liang's hand, the female teacher once again placed the ruler on his palm. "Where is your seat?"
"Right … right here."
"Pa!"
"Ow ~"
"Where is it?"
"Teacher!
Listen to me … Ow! "
"Where is it?"
"It's like this, I … Ow!"
"Where is it?" The female teacher became even angrier. "Where is your seat?"
"Grandma!" Li Liang was about to cry. "My seat is really here … Ow!"
"T-Teacher." Xing Biqi could not stand it anymore and said weakly, "Student Li Liang's seat is on the balcony.
There is no table for him in the class. "
"Oh?" The female teacher was stunned. "Is that so?"
"Yes.
He used to sit here, but after I transferred here, there were no more seats, so the homeroom teacher let him sit on the balcony. "
"I see." Silently putting away the ruler, the female teacher acted as if nothing had happened and walked back to the podium.
Li Liang was furious and raised his palm. "Did I hit you for nothing?"
The female teacher paused and raised the ruler expressionlessly. "Stretch out your hand."
"No."
"If you don't, you don't have to come to school tomorrow."
"I don't have to go to school?" Hearing this, Li Liang's grievance disappeared and he asked in surprise, "Really?"
"You can try."
"That's great!"
The female teacher: "?"
"Teacher, you have to keep your word." Li Liang quickly took out his phone and pressed the recording function. "Say it again."
"Did you not understand what I said?" The female teacher said sternly, "If you don't stretch out your hand, you can go home!"
"I understand.
But you have to give me a certificate to prove that you are the one who gave me the holiday. "
The female teacher: "?"
"Teacher." A male student in the back raised his hand. "Can you take me with you?"
The female teacher: "???"
"Me too!"
"Me too."
"It's best if you don't give me homework."
Facing the temptation, Chen Yu couldn't help but raise his hand. "Give me one as well."
The female teacher was instantly dumbfounded.
After standing in place for a long time, the female teacher looked around in disbelief and asked, "Are you all sick?"
"Only sick people can take holidays?"
"My head has been hurting for the past few days. Can I skip school tomorrow, teacher?"
"Cough!
Cough, cough, cough … "
The female teacher clearly didn't understand Sixth High's school culture. Thinking that her classmates were trying to intimidate her, her face stiffened as she slapped the ruler against Li Liang's thigh.
Smack!
"Ouch ~"
"Who wants a holiday?!" the female teacher bellowed. "Leave now!
I'll give him half a year's holiday!
Let's go! "
Seeing that their form teacher was truly enraged, the heckling students naturally backed down.
However, there really was an iron-headed person in Class 2 …
Swoosh.
The next moment, Chen Yu abruptly stood up, grabbed his school bag, and ran. Under the female teacher's dumbfounded gaze, Chen Yu disappeared from the classroom's entrance like a gust of wind.
"I can't lose a chicken!"
"I can't lose a chicken …"
Chen Yu's body trembled in excitement as he ran faster and faster. In less than three minutes, he had already rushed out of the teaching block, jumped over the school's fence, and disappeared into the sea of people …
"W-Who ran out just now?"
Snapping out of her daze, the female teacher inside Class 2-2 hurriedly leaned on the balcony and looked around.
"His name is Chen Yu," Zhen Congming, who sat in the front row, reported immediately.
"He …" A worried look appeared on Xing Biqi's face. She opened her mouth, but no words came out.
"Chen Yu …"
After muttering to herself, the female teacher's complexion turned ashen. She then walked back to the balcony and slammed the ruler in her hand on the lectern. "I refuse to believe that a high school student dares to play truant!
Wait!
Wait for the class!
If he doesn't return, we won't go to class!
Everyone, wait! "
Afterward …
Half a month went by.
The snow melted, and spring bloomed.
After dozens of alternations of days and months, it was now Sunday in March.
Once again, the world's attention was focused on the various livestream rooms.
Some of the more courageous private forums even pinned Transdimensional Review's front page to the top.
The internet ban gradually loosened …
