Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Everyone seemed to want to make friends with him...

With the help of the kind school doctor, Jiang Shizao changed into a clean school uniform ten minutes later.

Feeling refreshed.

His hair was a little wet because of the shower, but luckily it was a sunny day outside, so the wet bangs and hair ends might have dried on the way back to the classroom.

This shower room in the school clinic is a typical barrier-free design, and the space inside is not crowded for one person.

Wen Helin had been standing by the door waiting, and he helped Jiang Shizao take off and put on his clothes.

The other party took the clothes that Jiang Shizao had changed out of, and handed over a clean school uniform after the boy had showered.

The clothes that Jiang Shizao had changed out of were now placed on the shelf beside him.

At this time, Wen Helin opened the shower door. He turned sideways and said to Jiang Shizao, "It's almost time for class, Shizao. I'll put your clothes away for you first. You can come back and get them later."

The moment the door opened, Jiang Shizao felt a gust of fresh air coming from outside. He nodded and said, "Okay, thank you, Teacher Wen." Later he would come back with his schoolbag to get his sweatshirt.

"You're welcome." Wen Helin said, raising his hand to adjust the frame of his glasses on his nose.

The warm and humid air did not leave any fog on the mirror of the gold-rimmed glasses, but the mist in the shower room still hindered Jiang Shizao's visual senses.

At this moment, he could hardly see Wen Helin's outline clearly.

However, when Wen Helin gestured to open the door, Jiang Shizao understood and walked out of the shower room that was originally intended for one person only.

The moment they passed each other, Wen Helin smelled a pleasant soapy scent coming from the neck of the person passing by.

It was as if the other person's whole body was exuding an addictive fragrance.

Wen Helin took a deep breath without leaving any trace.

For the past ten minutes or so, this person had been extremely polite. He suppressed his senses and didn't even look at the person standing under the shower, except for those two necessary moments when he shook hands...

Actually, it’s not necessary.

Wen Helin pursed his lips. Now, he could look at Jiang Shizao again with open eyes, and followed him out of the overheated shower room.

"Teacher, I'll be leaving now."

"Okay, I'll take you outside."

Wen Helin looked at the person in front of him. Jiang Shizai had facial features and outlines that were full of youthfulness.

He perhaps knows this better than anyone else.

Because Jiang Shizao put on his school uniform again, he could completely integrate into his identity in Lingcheng.

"By the way, it's early."

Just when Jiang Shizao was about to turn around, Wen Helin suddenly seemed to remember something and called out to the person who was about to leave.

Jiang Shizao turned around and saw a slightly confused look on the school doctor's face.

"You haven't come to the school clinic for lunch recently." Wen Helin looked at Jiang Shizao, as if he was really confused:

"Did they find a new nap room? ...Or is there another reason?"

Wen Helin's expression at this time was more cautious, as if he was taking care of Jiang Shizao's mood. He said slowly:

"It's early. Didn't we agree that you can use the rest room in the school clinic during lunch break? You don't need to feel any pressure. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me directly."

…

When Jiang Shizao heard Wen Helin's words, he opened his mouth slightly in surprise.

What followed was a memory that gradually became clearer, from hazy, as if there was an area deep in the consciousness where the clouds had cleared and the sun was shining.

Hearing Wen Helin's voice, Jiang Shizao experienced a similar situation as when the system played the clip of Lingcheng in his mind before.

Jiang Shizao recalled the scenes of "himself" interacting with the school doctor in the past.

It turned out that Wen Helin had always been friendly to him since they met.

He was like a gentle older brother. After learning that Jiang Shizao's commute to and from his apartment would take nearly two hours, Wen Helin offered to use the school clinic's rest room for Jiang Shizao's lunch break.

In this way, Jiang Shizao can rest for a while in the school clinic after finishing his lunch in the school cafeteria.

The school clinic is usually empty at noon.

In addition to being the school doctor of Lingcheng High School, Wen Helin is also one of the few three psychology teachers in the school.

...Fragments of memories emerged in Jiang Shizao's mind.

Jiang Shizao quickly controlled his expression.

Suddenly I figured out a lot of problems.

It turns out that he had been using the rest room in the school clinic!

When he first came here, Jiang Shi had already realized that going home during lunch break was a very unreasonable arrangement and had very low feasibility.

There is another doubt:

From the first day he arrived, Jiang Shi had already begun to doubt his character background and some of the settings. He was a little puzzled as to why he hadn't just chosen to live on campus, but instead insisted on commuting between his apartment in South Bank and Lingcheng High School every day.

This setting really doesn't seem like something that a logically rigorous Abyss would write. Even if he is just a background character in this world.

...However, the memory images awakened by the school doctor answered some of Jiang Shizao's questions.

At this moment, Jiang Shizao recalled where he had taken his lunch break this week...

If he was like that, he would choose the most crowded small park near the school to take a nap.

Looking at the kind school doctor in front of him, Jiang Shizao's eyes wandered again. He said, "The exam is coming up soon... I've been studying in the park at noon recently."

This was true. Besides napping, Jiang Shizao also spent his lunch break revisiting his high school textbooks. After all, in Lingcheng, it was impossible to completely relax and rest in one place.

Although he now knew where he had taken his lunch break in the past, Jiang Shizao had no plans to use the school clinic again.

Wen Helin obviously didn't expect that Jiang Shizao's vigilance against unfamiliar environments and being alone had surpassed everything. Before he could make an excuse that he would be on duty in the school clinic at noon to keep Jiang Shizao company and make him feel at ease -

I heard: "Thank you, Teacher Wen, I'm fine. I'll come later if you need me."

Hearing this polite refusal, Wen Helin was silent for two seconds, and then he regained his understanding appearance.

"Okay, good luck on the exam." Wen Helin said, thinking that it didn't matter, he still had many opportunities to get along with Shi Zao.

However, before Jiang Shizao left, Wen Helin narrowed his eyes.

"Shi Zao, this is my phone number. You can contact me if you have any questions... You can contact me for anything."

Jiang Shizao looked at the business card and another business card handed to him by Wen Helin. He was stunned for only a second before taking it.

"Okay." Jiang Shizao said skillfully. He thought to himself that there were so many kind-hearted people in Lingcheng. This world wasn't cruel to him either.

"Send me a message later and I'll save your number."

"OK!"

…

After saying goodbye to the kind school doctor, Jiang Shizao left the comprehensive building and walked towards the teaching building alone.

Walking in the warm sunshine, he couldn't help but think about the previous question again.

The frequency of seeing ghosts has increased, and the original settings in the novel have also changed... What caused the changes in Lingcheng?

[System, system?]

…No response.

The system is still malfunctioning...?

This shouldn't be the case. Jiang Shizao frowned in annoyance. He had just received new memories. Wasn't this the system's fault?

What is that?

Could it be that contact with people "I" knew in the past will awaken memories?

...But before he traveled through time and space, was his identity in Lingcheng "Jiang Shizao"?

Haha, impossible.

...That is because he traveled through time, so these people's memories of interacting with him in this identity have undergone collective cognitive changes?

The more Jiang Shizao thought about it, the more likely it seemed. After all, his body was clearly that of a twenty-two-year-old office worker, but since arriving in Lingcheng, no one, whether his classmates or the locals, had ever doubted his identity as a high school student.

Pretending to be a high school student was very successful.

Jiang Shizao felt ashamed for himself for pretending to be young for two seconds.

When Jiang Shizao walked to the back door of Class 1, Grade 2, the sharp-eyed Lin Xi was the first to notice him.

"Shi Zao, you're back!" Lin Xi said while winking at Jiang Shi Zao.

Jiang Shizao followed the other person's line of sight and noticed the boy sitting at the table behind him. It was Wen Xu.

He really transferred to their class.

That seat had been vacant for the past few days. Jiang Shizao only knew that the student who originally sat behind him had taken some time off for some reason. He didn't expect that someone would be replaced now.

Wen Xu had already turned his head away. He looked at Jiang Shizao who walked into the classroom and took the initiative to speak:

"It's early. From now on, we'll be sitting at the front and back tables. Please give me your guidance."

"...Please advise me."

"Hahaha, can you guys stop being so serious?" Lin Xi on the side couldn't stand it anymore.

It was an established fact that Wen Xu became their classmate. Lin Xi had just learned that Jiang Shizao's former deskmate had completed the transfer procedures and left Lingcheng High School.

After Shi Zao came back, he immediately came over and told Jiang Shi Zao about this.

Unexpectedly, Wen Xu joined their conversation. The transfer student said, "What a coincidence."

Hearing the voice, Jiang Shizao slightly turned sideways and met Wen Xu's eyes.

There was a soft light in those amber eyes.

Wen Xu said: "I heard that the school originally arranged for me to transfer to Class 4 of Grade 12...but a classmate happened to transfer to Class 1, so I was able to get in." Haha, some people wanted him to go to Class 4, but he insisted on coming to Class 1.

Wen Xu sneered in his heart, but his face became more and more gentle, and it seemed that there was only Jiang Shizao in his eyes.

"It's great to be classmates with you, Shizao."

Hearing this, Jiang Shizao's cheeks inexplicably heated up. No one had ever spoken to him like that before! So his popularity...was really that good!

Everyone seemed eager to make friends with him.

"..." Lin Xi was silent for a moment. He didn't know why, but every time the transfer student spoke to Shi Zao, he felt something was wrong... something was a little off.

Fortunately, the class bell rang at this time, interrupting the conversation of several people.

Lin Xi quickly sat back in his seat.

Jiang Shizao said to Wen Xu: "Let's talk later."

"Okay." Wen Xu responded softly, with a perfect curve at the corner of his lips.

Jiang Shizao's impression of the transfer student's gentle and good temper also stabilized.
