Chapter 149 The Taste of Summer



"Feeling, what feeling?" Zhang Zeyu didn't understand what she meant and felt confused, so he turned his puzzled gaze to Qi Sheng, hoping to get an answer from him.

But Qi Sheng was probably going to disappoint him. He smiled faintly and said, "Think for yourself."

Then they followed Gu Luoqi and the others.

Doesn't this guy know what kind of person he is?

He finally doesn't have to go to evening self-study today, so why wouldn't he come out and join in the fun?

Zhang Zeyu stared at his back, feeling as if he was being looked down upon.

No, that must be an illusion.

He walked towards them while yawning. Honestly, why was he a little sleepy? Maybe he got up too early this morning.

I really hope the school's fire safety equipment won't be properly inspected by tomorrow, so he can sleep in.

The reason they didn't attend evening self-study today is because a fire broke out in the dormitory of a nearby middle school a few days ago. The cause of the fire is unknown, but fortunately, the students were in class at the time, so there were no casualties.

Even so, the city leaders still attach great importance to this matter, so the fire prevention devices in all schools in the city have been re-inspected in the past few days. Today, Gu Luoxi's school is busy cooperating with the inspection.

Although the school has conducted thorough checks before each semester starts, it still has lessons to learn from past mistakes and dares not slack off, so it gave the students a half-day off.

Thinking about this, Zhang Zeyu felt that the school was not taking it seriously enough. He thought it would be best to give them three days off and then thoroughly inspect everything inside and out.

Of course, the most direct way to prevent fires in schools is to eliminate schools altogether, thus addressing the problem at its root. It would be much safer for students to stay at home.

His thinking might be common among underachievers, though it could also reflect his individual characteristics. The title of "logic genius" is well-deserved.

Thinking this, I looked up and realized they were already far away, so I quickly ran a few steps, shouting, "Wait for me!"

Honestly, why are you walking so fast?

But for Gu Luoxi, it was a different story. Of course, she was also a poor student, but thanks to the spiritual influence of the system these past few days, her thinking was no longer as simple and crude as Zhang Zeyu's.

Nonsense, how much time does she have left before the college entrance exam? If she keeps thinking like this, she's doomed and beyond help.

So even though she felt that school days were unbearable and that each day felt like an eternity, she had no choice but to stay there. Even if she didn't make any progress in her studies, she still had to stay at school, which gave her some comfort.

Moreover, with such thorough ideological education from the system, where almost every sentence revolves around learning, it seems unreasonable for her to be so morally corrupt. More importantly, she is afraid of being strangled by the system.

Even though the system had no physical form, she was still somewhat afraid. When her time and even her life had abandoned her, only the system brought her salvation and hope. Therefore, her psychological pressure was not only due to her lack of control over her future, but also the fear of letting the system's expectations down.

Even if someone who has been abandoned later finds themselves in the light, they will still often recall the despair and helplessness they felt back then.

Cheng Cheng and Li Mingya chatted and laughed in front, seemingly afraid of disturbing Gu Luoqi, but she remained unmoved and pondered life in the back.

She glanced at the time; it was not yet eight o'clock, but the sky was only slightly dark.

Autumn has not yet begun, so it gets dark later.

A gentle breeze dissipated the lingering heat, and Gu Luoqi, still wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts (a combination commonly known as "old man's comfort"), felt perfectly comfortable without feeling any chill.

It's different during the day; it's hot no matter what you wear. In this situation, the school is more relaxed in its control over the rule of uniform wearing, and some teachers turn a blind eye.

If there's an inspection or something, it's fine to say you have nothing to wear since you've washed your clothes.

In this kind of hot weather, Gu Luoqi didn't even want to go out. She would be drenched in sweat just walking from her dormitory to the classroom.

So the idea that campuses are filled with the vibrancy of youth during the sweltering heat is just nonsense.

Hormones and all that stuff are fake; only the unpleasant smell of sweat and foot odor is the most real and relatable smell.

Their school said a long time ago that they would install air conditioning in the classrooms, but it hasn't been installed yet. I don't know if it's because of a shortage of funds or something else.

So, especially in a stuffy place like a classroom, it's easy to imagine what it smells like.

Their teacher has to ask them to open the door and windows to air out the smell every time they enter the classroom.

If someone were to eat extremely smelly snacks in the classroom, the smell would be indescribable.
