Chapter 35

The orientation session at Enge Junior School for Special Abilities started at 8:30 in the morning, and Zhou Jinxue had already communicated in advance with the schoolgirls he was going to teach.

She knew that the other party lived in the city of Shate, which was quite far away from the school. According to her estimation, she guessed that the schoolmate would have to wait until around noon today before she could take a bus from the city of Shate to the school.

Jiang Yu Nu is really enthusiastic and outgoing, and a little lively and naive.

Last night, the two also sent messages to each other on the terminal. This is their daily friendly communication.

When sending messages last night, the enthusiastic schoolmate asked Zhou Jinxue that since she lived a little far away and might come to school later than the freshmen who lived in the cities around Enge, then, as her guide, could Zhou Jinxue also get up a little later and not have to arrive at the school gate so early to participate in the welcome activities?

And the answer is of course no.

Not to mention that Zhou Jinxue himself is a person who doesn't like to be lazy. All the guidance students need to be at the school gate to welcome the new students on the first day of school. This is a document issued by the school and is a "hard indicator."

No matter whether the freshmen they are assigned to arrive early or late, the guides are all at the school gate at 8:30.

If the new students you are responsible for arrive early, the guides need to immediately connect with their new students and lead them to do everything required for the new students to register.

If the freshmen they are responsible for have not arrived yet, the guides will stay at the school gate and serve as public volunteers, guiding other freshmen who come to register and helping them find their own dedicated guides. Occasionally, they will also work part-time as traffic controllers at the school gate, help freshmen with too much luggage to carry their luggage, call for on-campus shuttle buses, etc.

The work of guiding students is indeed quite diverse and numerous.

Zhou Jinxue did not specifically tell her junior schoolmate to arrive early. Even though it might be better for the freshmen she was going to guide if they arrived earlier, it would not require them to work at the school gate for too long.

But she is not the type to trouble others just for her own convenience.

Zhou Jinxue only told Jiang Yunu last night to remember to check his belongings again before leaving during the day. If they found that some luggage was left behind when they arrived at school, it might make the freshmen panic and the registration day more likely to become chaotic.

Jiang Yunu sent her another cute emoticon, which was a nodding puppy, indicating that the other party understood.

"Why--"

Zhou Jinxue stood at the gate of Enge School. Because there was a long slope at the school gate, the guides and volunteers were divided into temporary groups of three or two, and then stationed in different areas on the slope so that they could provide help to parents of students coming and going at any time.

The one who made the noise was a boy in the same group as Zhou Jinxue.

Zhou Jinxue was not familiar with the other party. They only knew each other's names and knew that they were classmates in the same grade.

She was even more silent and taciturn in real life than she was online, almost a little aloof. When she heard the noise, she just turned her head slightly and glanced at the boy.

"Did the child you are taking care of tell you approximately when she will arrive?" the boy talked to Zhou Jinxue.

The assigned garrison point had less traffic. In the middle of the slope, they only saw shuttle buses full of students and parents going up the slope one after another, and then watched the empty buses driving back from the school.

Zhou Jinxue said: "What does it have to do with you?"

Boy: “…”

The boy had only heard that Zhou Jinxue was difficult to talk to, but had never really spoken to her. He didn't expect that the rumors were true and that Zhou Jinxue could make people speechless with just one sentence.

After choking for a moment, the boy touched his nose and said, "I just feel that we are a bit idle here. I thought that if the kids could get here soon, at least there would be something to do. Otherwise... otherwise, you see everyone around is busy and bustling, making us look like we have nothing to do."

This is what the boys really said.

He didn't just talk to Zhou Jinxue just to strike up a conversation.

This reason seemed to soften Zhou Jinxue's tone. She glanced at him again, her face still expressionless, but she spoke politely, "I suggest you contact the freshmen you're supervising directly. The time my junior students come here has little to do with whether or not you can do anything."

Boy: “…”

The conversation died down again.

If the boy had not been sure that he was not familiar with Zhou Jinxue in the past, he would almost think that he had offended her at some point without knowing it.

But this boy, perhaps naturally chatty, had already been interrupted twice by Zhou Jinxue. Within ten minutes, seeing the two of them sitting idle at the garrison for nearly another ten minutes, he almost counted all the shuttle buses coming and going. The boy sighed and said, "Just think of me talking to myself."

He began to ramble beside Zhou Jinxue, "The kid I'm picking up told me yesterday he'd try to get here early. He lives in Xiate, in the Nineteenth District—you know, it's a bit far from our school, right? Assuming he gets up around eight or nine, and needs a little while to get ready before leaving, I estimate he won't arrive until around noon or afternoon, so I'll probably be here all morning."

The boy finished speaking, thinking that he was really talking to himself. Given Zhou Jinxue's personality, she might just ignore his words.

Unexpectedly, when I turned around after saying that, I found Zhou Jinxue looking at me.

"Xate?" Zhou Jinxue seemed to be rarely interested in anything.

"Yes, yes." The boy said, "Why, do you have any special impression of this city?"

Zhou Jinxue shook his head: "No."

She said calmly, "It's just that I'm also waiting for a schoolmate from Chat."

Jiang Yunu and Qiao Yisen got up early on purpose so as not to make their guides wait too long at the school gate.

And if we come to school earlier, Aunt Daisy won't have to rush back. She can also take a quick walk around the Engel campus, have lunch with the two children at noon, and then drive back to Chateau in the afternoon.

Who would have thought that they set off early enough, but encountered a "traffic jam" in the sky above Enge Primary School for Supernatural Powers.

Considering that there were probably a lot of parents of students who got up early to go to school, there was a temporary shortage of parking spaces at the school gate. In order to allow all private vehicles to park in an orderly manner, parents who drove here had to line up in the sky and wait for their vehicles to land one by one.

It was just after nine o'clock when we passed through the teleporter, and by the time the long line reached Aunt Daisy's car, it was almost half past nine.

Aunt Daisy followed the guidance of the students on the ground and drove the car to the fourth stop at the bottom of the slope, where she found a suitable parking space.

"Hello, I've been waiting in line for a long time!"

Before the car door was even opened, students in uniform came jogging over.

This is a team of induction students stationed only at the docking point.

The other party politely greeted the student's parent, Qiao Daisi, and then looked at Jiang Yunu and Qiao Yisen who were getting out of the back seat of the car.

"Excuse me, have you contacted your mentors? Are they on their way here?" the other party asked enthusiastically.

After getting off the bus, Joyson's first reaction was to get his luggage. He was suddenly surrounded by several unfamiliar faces, and he started to feel a little socially anxious again.

Jiang Yunu blinked, looked at the senior who greeted him enthusiastically for a few seconds, and quickly raised his wrist: "...I was so excited after arriving at school that I forgot to contact you!"

During the nearly half-hour they had been queuing in the sky, she and Joyson had been expressing their admiration for the campus scenery below. Taking advantage of their high-altitude perspective, they had a good bird's-eye view of Engel.

In the end, no one remembered that they had already arrived at the Engel campus and could send a message to their guidance students to let them know they had arrived.

The polite and enthusiastic senior student smiled. She looked like a senior student and might be preparing for the entrance exam to a senior high school this year.

The other party waved his hand: "Don't panic, I'll do it, our internal communication is faster."

After saying that, the senior student connected her personal terminal with Jiang Yunu and Qiao Yisen, and immediately learned about their assigned guidance students.

Joyson couldn't get a word in during the communication, so he turned around and prepared to quietly move his and Jiang Yunu's luggage, but when he turned around, he found that there were two other strangers standing on the left and right behind the car, moving the luggage diligently and skillfully.

The other party took away all of his and Jiang Yunu's luggage and held it in their hands.

In the middle of the long slope, Zhou Jinxue's personal terminal suddenly received new message alerts, two in a row.

She found one message from a classmate and one from a junior schoolmate.

After hesitating for two seconds, Zhou Jinxue chose to read the message from [User 24071523] first.

When I clicked on it, I saw this sentence: "Senior, we have reached the bottom of the long slope."

The junior schoolmate typed a little hastily and didn't add any punctuation marks.

Zhou Jinxue opened the message from her classmates again and found that as expected, the guidance volunteer at the bottom of the long slope had picked up her schoolmate and was notifying her to pick her up.

"...I'm going to pick up my junior." Zhou Jinxue immediately set off. "Please tell the teacher that we need a replacement here."

She said to the boy next to her.

When the guides at the garrison leave, new volunteers are needed.

However, the boy actually moved with Zhou Jinxue.

"I'll ask the teacher to make up two more." The boy looked at his personal terminal, his expression unable to conceal his excitement. "The kid I was supposed to take care of is here too—are all the kids at Chat so fond of waking up early?"

The freshmen from Chatham City are more than just early risers.

They're even family.

Zhou Jinxue originally thought that the boy just happened to be on his way to her, and that the new students they were supposed to pick up arrived one after another, which was just a coincidence.

The two of them actually walked down the slope together and continued to walk towards the same private vehicle stop.

As the boy walked, he felt something was amiss. He secretly turned his head to look at Zhou Jinxue: "Your child is also at this stop. What a coincidence!"

Zhou Jinxue said: "...Yeah."

After walking a little further, you can see several people standing next to the parked vehicle in front. With their uniform clothes, you can tell at a glance which ones are fellow guides and which ones are new students and their parents.

Joyson's red hair was very eye-catching, and the boy next to Zhou Jinxue's eyes lit up.

He quickly ran towards the red-haired boy in front of him: "Joyson?"

The boy ran while calling out his junior's name to make sure he had found the right person.

After hearing this shout, the two freshmen turned their heads to look over.

Jiang Yunu's gaze passed over the boy who was running towards him and fell on the girl behind him.

She was a very pretty girl, with her hair tied in a neat ponytail. Her hair was dark in color, but it didn't seem to be pure black. Her hair had a slight bluish tint in the sunlight.

Jiang Yunu ran towards her instead: "Senior Zhou?"
