The three people in the photo are the male principal, the dean of students, and a chubby little boy who is only three or four years old. The background is a church that is half-built.

The little boy stood silently beside the male principal, his face tense, his brows slightly furrowed, revealing a stubbornness, which, combined with his chubby cheeks, created a charming contrast.

On the contrary, the dean of students' usually stern face broke into a warm smile as he hooked his arm around the principal's and leaned his head affectionately on his shoulder.

The photo shows that the principal and the head of teaching were only in their twenties at the time, very young. The date on the photo is 1922, which is twelve years ago.

Could they really be a family?

However, it was mentioned in 'Time' that the male principal was always single. He was dedicated to making the school bigger and better, so that the daughters who had suffered unfair treatment could have a place to live and could confidently step into this war-torn society based on their knowledge.

So who is this little boy?

Could it be one of their younger brothers?

Cheng Shuang tapped her head, feeling a headache coming on!

However, the girl was certain of one thing: this was the dean's office.

Besides the photos serving as evidence, her fitted mid-length cheongsam also distinguished her well from other female teachers.

During the meal, Cheng Shuang noticed that all the female teachers were dressed uniformly—dark gray two-piece long skirts, wrapping themselves up like nuns, solemn and dignified. Only the head teacher, even in photos, wore cheongsams of various colors and textures, as if the cheongsam had become her signature style of dress.

Although the head of the teaching department was more lenient with Cheng Shuang after delivering the medicine, the little girl didn't believe that the head of the teaching department wouldn't get angry and change his expression.

No amount of goodwill can last forever, especially when facing ghosts and monsters who are inherently malicious. Their momentary soft-heartedness means nothing.

Perhaps this office is the dean's bottom line; whoever steps into it dies. Otherwise, this checkpoint wouldn't exist.

The little girl's eyes were fixed on the closed door.

My mind was racing.

There's a chance that simply leaving the office is enough to pass the level—meaning you just step out the door. But if the head of student affairs catches you, just escaping the office won't count. After all, it's class time, and one of the head of student affairs' responsibilities is to supervise and punish students who try to skip class.

The girl with glasses seemed to be wary of the head teacher. Without needing to interrogate her, she cooperatively pointed directly to the glass-windowed bookshelf in the corner and whispered a reminder, "Climb up there, the glass window is the exit." She secretly glanced outside the door and urged anxiously, "We need to hurry, or we'll be discovered when the teacher comes back."

Those peach blossom eyes, so similar to Cheng Shuang's, shone with an innocent light as they timidly peered at Cheng Shuang's expression, looking like a pitiful little thing dependent on someone else.

Cheng Shuang gave a polite, fake smile. "What's behind that glass window? It must hurt a lot if you bump your head in there, right?"

The girl with glasses froze, her genuine smile turning into a forced one. "It...it hurts a lot, doesn't it!"

Now, it already bears a striking resemblance to the original.

“In that case, let’s split up. You go check out the bookshelf, and I’ll go outside,” Cheng Shuang sincerely suggested.

"Should we split up? Isn't that dangerous?" The girl with glasses' eyes flickered slightly. Seeing the cat's resolute expression, she tried to persuade it, "If we split into two groups, then... then can I team up with it?" Her slender white finger pointed to the silent bear cub.

The little girl gave another polite, fake smile. "You misunderstood!" she kindly explained. "We're in a group of three, and you're in a group of one ghost!" After saying that, the little bear spontaneously hoisted the little girl onto its shoulder, while the ghost floated up on the little girl's head and piled up in a ball. They then quickly and uniformly ran towards the door.

The teddy bear had grown enormously, making it a behemoth compared to Cheng Shuang, who was covered in hair. But in this small office of about ten square meters, the teddy bear, which was only a few centimeters tall, was just a fluffy baby.

As it raced forward, the clattering of its heels echoed again, and they were still more than halfway to the door, seemingly out of reach.

Cheng Shuang listened carefully, and as the sound of heels approached the door, she pulled off the Zombie Monster, squinted at the doorknob, and as soon as it started to turn, she immediately handed the Zombie Monster to the bear cub, leaned forward, and hugged the bear cub's neck tightly with both arms.

The bear cub straightened up and swung its arm with all its might. A dark shadow flew towards the pushed-open door and squeezed into the narrow crack that was just exposed.

In a moment, the door opened a little wider, and a slender figure could be vaguely seen about to push the door open and walk in.

The two continued running around the room, which was completely empty with no cover. Even if someone accidentally stepped on them, they would be powerless to retaliate. But even so, Cheng Shuang did not stop them. She waved her little fist and whispered encouragement to the bear cub to keep going.

On the contrary, the bespectacled girl who hung herself on the bear's tail had a rollercoaster of emotions, so frightened that she wanted to cover her face and scream. She couldn't understand the cat's impulsive behavior of walking into the trap.

The door opened completely, and with a click, a long leg stepped in.

The head of student affairs' face was clearly exposed to Cheng Shuang in the sunlight streaming through the window, and then her emotionless eyes lowered slightly...

The human and the ghost held their breath instantly, while only the bear cub continued to run at full speed.

Oh wow wow~

Oh wow wow~

Oh wow wow~

The exaggerated crowing of chickens continued down the corridor. The long-legged man stopped abruptly. The head teacher's already stern face twisted slightly, showing dissatisfaction and anger. She turned around abruptly and walked towards the door.

Cheng Shuang kept her body low to the ground to avoid slowing down the bear cubs, while the giant bear, with its four paws on the ground, ran rapidly toward the slowly closing door. They had to get out of the office before the door closed, otherwise it would become their biggest obstacle.

The sound of shoes faded into the distance, while the squeaking chicken's cries came and went, sometimes loud, sometimes soft, always stopping just before the headmaster's patience ran out. Its low-frequency cries were perfectly controlled, leaving the person bothered and unable to ignore it.

The head of discipline was completely absorbed by the screaming chicken, and the door was about to close.

The wind was too strong, and the gentle breeze stung her eyelids. Cheng Shuang squinted, estimating the distance between them and the door, and considering their speed... they definitely couldn't catch up.

The door was pulled slightly, so it closed quite quickly. Seeing the small crack in the door slowly closing, the little girl gritted her teeth, turned around, and her peach-blossom eyes met those of the other person holding the bear's tail. She smiled gently and comforted her, "Don't be afraid!"

The girl with glasses was flattered and exclaimed, "I'm not afraid!"

"That's great!" The little girl smiled and shouted, "Baby Bear!"

Without pausing, the bear cub shook its tail violently, shaking the girl with glasses off its feet. Then, with a swipe of its paw, it lifted her into the air and tossed her toward the gate.
