Chapter 454 Teaching Building
The wind was a little chilly at eight o'clock in the morning.
Xia Yan couldn't help but rub his arms, which were covered with goose bumps. The vortex in the teleportation portal not far away gradually calmed down, and only a few students walked out of the portal.
Until no one came out, and three seconds later the portal shrank inward and disappeared.
"Is this over?" Gao Shixu walked up to her and asked, looking at the crowd dispersing across from her.
Xia Yan said yes, otherwise the portal would not disappear.
"Everyone, go back to work. Today is the first day of school. The main job is to guide students to get to know each other. There is no need to rush to teach." He said to the teachers and watched them leave.
Xia Yan stretched out her body. She had exhausted all her waking time and now her head was dizzy and her stomach was rumbling with hunger.
"The principal hasn't had time to eat yet, right? Let's go to the cafeteria and have a meal together."
Gao Shixu quickly waved his hands and said, "I've already eaten."
As long as you are not hungry, there is no need to eat. Eating too much will not bring any benefits. Food is precious, so why waste it?
Xia Yan had no choice but to give up. "I haven't eaten yet. So, let's go to the cafeteria to buy breakfast first, and then we can walk around the campus to see if the students are adapting."
Gao Shixu agreed.
The two of them walked into a portal at random, and the sunny teaching building came into view.
The sun was shining, the weather was perfect, and the doors and windows were open to let in the breeze.
A corner of the light blue curtain peeks out, fluttering softly in the wind, like the clearest waves on the shore.
They heard small sounds coming from the classroom.
Xia Yan raised his brows in comfort, feeling happy from the inside out.
The two of them didn't say a word as they walked along the tree-lined path, around the teaching building, across the playground, and towards the cafeteria which was as tall as the teaching building.
The first floor of the cafeteria is empty, with only portals leading to each grade. These doors are always working and there is no opening or closing time.
"We'll leave from here later." Xia Yan said.
On the second floor, the huge hall is filled with long dining tables, with sinks on the left and right sides and a row of glass windows at the end. There is an ordering interface every two meters, and a curved food delivery port below.
Looking at the menu again, it is exactly the same as the food on the second floor of the main store, and the prices are the same.
She ordered some food casually without spending any points.
The two continued to go up and found that the structure of all floors was the same, mainly to accommodate students of all grades to eat at the same time.
Returning to the first floor, Xia Yan threw the empty packaging bag into the trash can.
"Let's go to the high school first."
Children in higher grades should actually be in their rebellious period, defying heaven, earth, teachers and parents, but they are unlucky and live in the end of the world, so their bodies and minds are ravaged.
In addition, I didn't have enough food to eat and was so thin and pale from hunger. I matured and became sensible early, and finally realized how wonderful it was to go to school.
They tried hard to straighten their chests and make themselves feel more energetic, but the next second their empty stomachs twitched and hunched over again. There was no food in their intestines, and they broke out in sweat from the pain from the entanglement and friction.
These flowers, which once symbolized the future, are gradually withering away due to hunger.
This scene was seen by Xia Yan and Gao Shixu who were passing by the back door of the classroom.
There was obvious pain and relief in Gao Shixu's light brown eyes.
Xia Yan looked at him, her heart rippled but quickly froze. She had seen too many deaths, just like seeing small fish everywhere struggling with their tails and desperately opening and closing their gills to breathe when the tide receded. She couldn't bear to save as many as she could, but the entire coastline was like this, with no end in sight. Too many fish suffocated to death without waiting for rescue.
This powerlessness is suffocating.
No one helped her with psychological counseling, so to protect herself, she could only block her heart and ignore her emotions.
"Teacher," Xia Yan knocked on the door softly, attracting everyone's attention, "Please come in."
The students watched their teacher walk down from the podium, close the door, and finally collapse on the desk, gasping for breath.
"Boss, what's the matter?" The teacher nervously recalled whether he had said or done anything wrong today, and couldn't help but look at the principal with a questioning look.
Gao Shixu gave her a look that he himself didn't understand.
Xia Yan patted her shoulder and touched the overly bony bone.
"Don't be nervous. I just want to say that you can arrange it freely according to your student status. The cafeteria is open all day, so you can go there to have a full meal first."
Her voice fell softly, like the morning light filtering through the window, or the slightly fishy sea breeze in the air.
Everything makes people feel comfortable and at ease.
"Okay, okay. I understand." The teacher nodded heavily.
She was indeed nervous. Even though she saw that the students were starving, she did not dare to tell them to go eat first. She was waiting for the bell to ring.
But the boss has said that she can take her students to eat now!
She pushed open the door and saw the students lying on the table struggling to stand up. Her eyes were red with heartache.
"Classmates, come on, the teacher will take you to dinner!"
Have a meal! !
Their dejected eyes suddenly lit up, they pushed the stools away and stood up, they were so hungry that they were staggering when they walked, but they still kept up.
Gao Shixu couldn't wait to go to each class to tell them, but was stopped by Xia Yan.
"Instead of running around one by one, I can broadcast it."
She opened the school's operating background, found the broadcasting room, entered the broadcast content, and confirmed.
Then, the soft electronic sound spread to every classroom, every corridor, and every corner of the campus.
Almost at the same time, all the teachers stood up and slammed their desks.
"Children, let's eat!"
The students cheered excitedly.
Like a little fish that finally returns to the water to breathe freely, it happily follows the leader and swims, outlining the arc of life.
Xia Yan calmly looked at the team heading downstairs to the cafeteria.
Gao Shixu was so excited that he didn't know what body language to use to express his excitement. He racked his brains to think of some less explicit words of praise, but just as he was about to speak, he saw that she had already walked away.
"Eh? Boss, where are we going now?"
He called out the word "boss" with absolute sincerity, an unprecedented sincerity.
Xia Yan didn't even turn his head, and his voice came lightly: "Let's go to the playground to bask in the sun~"
Gao Shixu: "Wait for me, together."
Sitting on the edge of the playground, Xia Yan looked around. The sky rose from the sea of the distant Lidai Island, and the air was filled with salty sea breeze.
The playground was silent, with no insects chirping or birds singing, and no sound of plates hitting the table in the cafeteria across the street.
The doors and windows of the teaching building behind me were open, and even the wind blowing from one end to the other was silent.
It was indeed peaceful here, a peace bluer than the sky. Xia Yan sat quietly, patiently experiencing the strange yet familiar feeling of being designed that permeated his heart.
Gao Shixu closed his eyes and basked in the sun. He was old and desperately needed this kind of peaceful environment.
He suddenly opened his eyes and looked around until he saw the shadows of the trees swaying. In the distance, he saw students walking out of the cafeteria with bulging bellies. He stood up and looked at them with a smile.
