Chapter 22
The teenagers had strong execution abilities. They quickly split up and headed for the various gates of the school, but they still missed Cao Sheng. They only had time to get a clue from the security guard at the north gate that Cao Sheng had already left.
"Cao Sheng is so quick. Huh, is he on the flight tonight?"
Chu Zhongyuan supported himself on his knees, gasped and sighed, and told a double-entendre joke.
"It's not impossible. After all, there is an airport in Lantai City. Boss Cao has great magical powers. Maybe he can turn into a plane and fly away."
Luo Dong glanced at Chu Zhongyuan and replied, although the young master was very good at responding to the other party's jokes, he could not maintain his usual temperament. He was panting and looked very tired.
"bite--"
Dear Uncle: [Xiao Qingming, I'm sorry, uncle has to go out for a business trip these two days. Is Cao Sheng also busy? But don't worry, Cao Sheng and I have asked a colleague to protect your safety in Lantai City. If you have any questions, you can ask that colleague. ]
Then there is another 500 words of things to pay attention to when you are alone at home.
For example, “Takeout is not healthy, uncle still has two days’ worth of meals prepared for you in the refrigerator, you can just heat them up and eat them”, “Be careful on the road” and so on.
Lu Ze wrote about these little things in great detail, with the strict official report flavor between the lines, and it seemed that he had been tortured to a certain extent by the CPA's incident report.
He thought about it and decided not to reply to his uncle during school hours, exposing the fact that he was playing with his phone during school hours. He just turned his head and thought about it, and always felt that it was a bit coincidental.
He just found out that his uncle is also a member of CPA. Today, both Teacher Cao and his uncle were tied up with work and left Lantai City.
I always feel like... there are signs of a tiger being lured away from the mountain.
"I didn't expect that Gu Daxue would bring a cell phone to school."
Luo Dong complained in a low voice. Having grown up with Gu Qingming, he naturally knew that Gu Qingming always had good grades.
"I... always feel like something is not right."
Gu Qingming paused. He ignored Luo Dong's words, but frowned at his companions. He turned to a more secluded place and told his companions that Uncle Lu Ze was also a member of CPA and that it was a strange coincidence that he and Cao Sheng left at the same time.
"Mr. Xiao Ming... there really are... Crouching Tigers, Hidden Dragons around you."
Chu Zhongyuan thought for a long time before uttering this sentence.
"Does awakening superpowers bring about a chain reaction?"
Gu Qingming looked helplessly at Chu Zhongyuan, who was never on the right track, and changed the subject back.
"I always feel like something is wrong."
"Didn't they say there was a colleague of theirs?" Luo Dong looked a little ugly, but he still forced himself to speak.
Not knowing who is friend or foe, a fox mask suspected to be the person behind the luck-changing ritual just appeared on campus. The only two adult CPAs, Cao Sheng and Lu Ze, who they could turn to for help, both left the city. This coincidence is too bizarre and no one can convince themselves.
The feeling of being watched arises spontaneously.
"It doesn't matter. Even if Fox Mask wants to do something, there are other CPA specialists stationed in Lantai City."
Zheng Qiuji also showed a serious expression. He shook his mobile phone and said, "After all, I have been a CPA for many years. I can still contact other CPA specialists at critical moments."
"That can't be helped."
Gu Qingming's brows were tightly furrowed, and he looked like he could strangle Chu Zhongyuan to death.
"Let's prepare for tomorrow's monthly exam first."
The boy's clear voice gradually became steady. After all, they knew too little about this new world.
After returning, Gu Qingming immediately reported to Lu Ze about their preparations after the monthly exam, but Lu Ze only sent an OK symbol and told them to just go, and that the colleague would follow along and nothing would go wrong.
But when Gu Qingming asked Lu Ze about the specific appearance of that colleague, Lu Ze disappeared again, just like he did when he was busy with work before.
Contrary to the four's expectations, the next two days of pain that accompanied the exams were not accompanied by the vicious wandering enemies with special powers and terrifying mysterious attacks as they had imagined. The four of them finished the first six-subject exam after the class division with great difficulty. Their faces were wrinkled in disgrace, and their eyes were still glowing green as they walked towards the school gate.
"Oh my god, is this the math question given by Emperor Zhang himself? How can it be so difficult? The cosine function and sinine function are almost bent into double helix DNA. I thought it was a biology question. I couldn't even solve the first question of the first big question..."
Zheng Qiuji frantically flipped through his math textbook with tears in his eyes, and almost fell to his knees when he discovered that one of his formulas was written completely upside down.
"The first question of the first big question is so difficult, it really makes people feel confused..."
"Shame, a huge shame... I'd rather the wandering superpower criminals cause trouble than tear up my test papers..."
Luo Dong murmured to himself, his grades were not bad, he was usually in the top ten in the class, but even so, he was mentally exhausted by the terrible math and crazy geography.
Only Gu Qingming looked relatively normal. As a hard-working contestant, Gu Qingming had a good foundation. Even though it was his first exam in a different environment, after comparing answers with the key class student sitting in front of him, he could roughly estimate that his score would be around 630.
The math test this time was too difficult. 630 was a psychological passing score, Gu Qingming thought.
"Hey, hey, whose little math problem is this? Why is it so cute? Eat it, eat it, eat it all!"
Chu Zhongyuan, who was walking beside Gu Qingming, had already started talking nonsense in a delirious state, but Gu Qingming instinctively felt that this guy must have done well this time.
After all, the image of the grade legend that he does well in the exam every time and fails in the exam every time is too deeply rooted in people's minds, and you must experience it when you come to Lantai No. 1 Middle School.
According to this rule, Chu Zhongyuan, who had slipped to over 1,400 last time, must be in the top ten this time to teach Zhang Yiwei a lesson.
"What are you talking about?"
Sure enough, Chu Zhongyuan’s madness caused strong dissatisfaction from Zheng Qiuji and Luo Dong. They grabbed Chu Zhongyuan’s shoulders from the left and right, with terribly distorted expressions.
"It's unfair. I really didn't do well in the exam this time!"
Chu Zhongyuan quickly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, but his words didn't sound like surrender, but rather like adding fuel to the fire.
Luo Dong and Zheng Qiuji looked at each other, and the brothers worked together to punch him hard, not too hard or too lightly.
Chu Zhongyuan pretended to fall to the ground, but he hooked onto Gu Qingming and smiled smugly.
Zheng Qiuji: ...full of tricks.
The torturous monthly exam was finally over. Several high school students didn't want to think about their next grades anymore. They were all very excited about the trip to Heshu Town.
The four high school students simply packed up their things and followed Luo Dong, who seemed confident of winning, into a black seven-seater commercial vehicle driven by his family's private driver.
The interior of the car had extremely high ceilings, aviation seats, a car-mounted TV, and a license plate logo that made people's faces change immediately, which made several people exclaim in shock.
Luo Dong's family background has long been famous in Lantai No. 1 Middle School, but when they met him in person, they still felt a little emotional.
Luo Dong raised his eyebrows in high spirits, as if to say: How is it? Isn't it great?
Gu Qingming quickly clapped his hands, and Chu Zhongyuan and Zheng Qiuji manually set off fireworks, which greatly satisfied the young master's vanity.
The car's air conditioner automatically tracks the most suitable temperature. The scenery outside the window gradually blurs into multi-colored lines as the speed gradually increases. The warm sunlight shines in, making people feel dizzy and unable to help yawning.
It only takes a few hours to drive from Lantai City to Heshu Town. There is a mountain road in the middle of the way, passing through a wide canyon that seems to have been split open, but the car is so stable that it seems as if it has not started.
Zheng Qiuji's eyes were sparkling, and he had already begun to imagine that he would also ride in such a precious car after he became rich through CPA and reached the peak of his life. Chu Zhongyuan, on the other hand, had no idea what he did last night. He fell asleep heavily on the seat, with his long black hair caught in the zipper, and Gu Qingming couldn't help but reach out to pull it apart.
The boy's warm breath brushed Gu Qingming's fingers. It was obviously a normal thing, but Gu Qingming felt some inexplicable shadow floating in his heart.
Maybe I've been too tired recently and my nerves are a little sensitive.
He leaned back in his seat, put this little episode behind him, and looked out the window, only to find that the majestic cliffs covered with rockfall prevention nets had disappeared, and at the end of the low-lying road in front of him, along both sides of a clear winding Shu River, were layers of exquisite and delicate ethnic-style buildings.
More and more people gathered around this quaint town. They turned around the curved driveway and parked their cars in the town's exclusive parking lot.
Following the flow of people, the whole picture of the town was clearly revealed in front of the four people. The bluestone paved ground had a cooling effect and emitted a slight coolness even in the afternoon when the sun was at its hottest. Various shops were lined up along the complex alleys. Countless bluestone steps and tributaries of the Shu River meandered along the terrain, making this town look like a water city.
Luo Dong looked at the navigation on his phone, which pointed to the most prosperous area along the river with the best scenery.
"The hot spring hotel is over there...wait, did I see something familiar?"
Luo Dong narrowed his eyes slightly, and his light blue glass-like eyes appeared more obvious under the sun.
Gu Qingming and his companions looked in the direction Luo Dong pointed, and saw a 15-seater bus with the logo of Lantai No. 1 Middle School parked in front of the hotel entrance, not far from the hotel they had booked, where a small tributary of Shu River lay.
"What a coincidence."
Chu Zhongyuan sighed with a twitching mouth.
I didn't expect to get together with a group of academic elites who came here for the study tour.
Shuhe Hot Spring Hotel is one of the only two hot spring hotels in the entire Heshu Town. It is said that the hot springs here are blessed with many legends, and with a lot of investment in online publicity, the hot springs here have become famous.
Passing through the revolving door at the entrance of the hotel, Luo Dong's father's business partner had already arranged everything. A huge, beautifully decorated four-bedroom suite appeared in front of the foursome. Chu Zhongyuan and Zheng Qiuji exclaimed in exaggerated amazement again.
Luo Dong waved goodbye to the service staff, inserted the magnetic card into the power outlet, and pressed the button for the automatic curtain lift.
As the curtains were gradually drawn up, the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of the living room came into view. Looking down from here, the most prosperous scenery of Shu River and the entire Heshu Town came into view. Chu Zhongyuan couldn't help but quickly picked up his mobile phone to take several pictures.
Luo Dong was sitting on the sofa and had already turned on the kettle. Everything here was in order and there were sufficient supplies. No wonder Luo Dong said at the time that they didn't need to bring anything.
Except homework.
Gu Qingming sighed as he looked at the four sets of daily necessities prepared for each location.
It’s great to have money.
"The slippers are in the hidden shoe cabinet in the entrance hall. The pajamas are all new and are in the closet over there. You can change out of your ugly school uniforms now."
Luo Dong shrugged, poured out the boiled water, added a new jasmine tea bag, boiled a pot of tea, and handed the cups to others.
Chu Zhongyuan and Zheng Qiuji hurriedly thanked them, took a sip, and found that the scented tea was fragrant and at just the right temperature.
The whole process was so smooth and efficient that Gu Qingming found it hard to believe that the thoughtful person in front of him was the young master who asked him to help peel bananas when he was a child.
"Don't look at me like that."
After handing Gu Qingming the cup, Luo Dong was very proud, "I also have to do a lot of housework at home... I have grown a lot since you and my second brother left!"
Gu Qingming thought of the other party's childlike mentality, and he agreed repeatedly, but couldn't help laughing in his heart.
