Chapter 25 Strange Things This is really unbelievable, could I have time-traveled...?
What was the weather like that day? Cheng Sijie couldn't remember clearly. She only remembered that she was sleeping on her desk when she suddenly heard that a transfer student had arrived at the school.
High school life is very boring. Even something like suddenly getting a day off for exams can cause a stir of excitement for days in advance.
However, their school has a very good academic record, and it's common for transfer students to attend; there's no need to make such a fuss.
Outside, there was a lot of noise and commotion, with many tables and chairs being pushed around and people shoving each other.
Cheng Sijie was still half asleep when she heard Yu Lingling, her deskmate and childhood friend, excitedly exclaim, "Wow! I heard a super handsome guy transferred to our science class!"
Yu Lingling and she had known each other for over ten years and were best friends who lived in the same faculty and staff building. Like her, Yu Lingling was a loyal fan of good looks.
Yu Lingling pulled out a chair. "I saw him. Honestly, he's such a handsome high school boy. Is this the kind of good looks you can find at A High School?"
A questioning voice came from diagonally in front: "Is it really that exaggerated?"
The girl diagonally in front of me is their class's Chinese language representative, surnamed Wang. She loves watching dramas and loves to show off. Because she wore the same Balenciaga sunglasses as a Korean star when she arrived at the new school, she looked very pretentious, so everyone called her Sunglasses Wang.
"Sunglasses King" really liked this nickname and gladly accepted it.
At this moment, "Sunglasses Queen" was very excited, disregarding the midterm mistakes she was frantically working on—she had a serious imbalance in her subjects, only scoring in the teens in English, but consistently scoring over 270 in the combined science subjects.
However, Wong Kar-wai himself is not very enthusiastic about studying. He has already decided to pursue the arts in his second year of high school. The reason he maintains his relatively good class ranking and takes one-on-one tutoring at home for an hour every night is for the sake of face.
She is also a very amazing girl.
"In the prime of my eighteen years, I was willing to die for face and to show off."
—Wang the Sunglasses
Yu Lingling reminded him, "Sunglasses, next English class, you haven't finished correcting your mistakes yet."
Sunglasses King chuckled and waved his hand, "What a joke. What's the use of compiling your mistakes in English? I have absolutely nothing to do with it. Compiling a few mistakes won't improve its favorability at all. It's like me trying to force my way in, and forcing things won't end well. We're just not compatible."
Yu Lingling said, "Even if the birth charts are incompatible, you can force it, even by force."
Wong Kar-wai said, "...No need."
Yu Lingling: "Please, forceful taking and wall slamming with red eyes are common skills of your BKINGs. Don't you even know how to learn them?"
Sunglasses King became even more interested, and slammed down his pen. "Well, look at me, I'm 1.76 meters tall, and so cool and stylish, do I need that kind of skill to enhance my image?"
Yu Lingling was overjoyed: "Cool, stylish, and cool?"
Wang He was furious: "Isn't that right?"
"Sunglasses Wang" herself has a very artistic name. Her mother is a model and her father is a university professor. When naming her, they did not adhere to what is appropriate for a girl. Instead, they gave her a name with a strong and dignified character: Wang He.
She really is tall with long legs, but she's currently at a very immature age and hasn't been able to bring out that kind of charm.
At that moment, Wang He clutched his chest and said with great style, "Sister 00, why do you always undermine me?"
Yu Lingling said, "I don't know, maybe I'm just naturally bad for people like you. Look at Cheng Sijie, she's so pretentious, her WeChat name is even 'One Liter of Orange Juice,' I'm just bad for her."
Cheng Sijie rubbed her eyes to wake up, "Huh?"
Although Yu Lingling doesn't have many memorable quotes, her words are sharp. Wang He often calls her Yu Weijia because her words are short, timely, and sarcastic, just like Weijia's.
This style is indeed very effective in addressing the existence of various "bking" personas.
Wong Kar-wai's "bking lady" vibe (not in a derogatory sense) is too overpowering, cough cough. What normal high school girl would meticulously put together a Max Mara black trench coat, Balenciaga sunglasses, patent leather boots, and a vintage motorcycle bag for freshman registration?
When she stepped onto the stage to introduce herself, Cheng Sijie almost thought it was some kind of high-end fashion show, a limited edition with a high school theme.
If she were a few years older, this excessive dressing would definitely attract a bunch of girls shouting, "Sister, I'm in love!"
Sunglasses King wasn't petty. After questioning Yu Lingling, he added, "Oh, I just saw someone send me a candid photo of a transfer student from behind. He's actually quite handsome. And so tall."
"Could they be actors from some TV drama? Are we going to become the inspiration for some idol drama and gain fame?"
Cheng Sijie asked doubtfully, "Is it really that exaggerated?"
Cheng Sijie's school is a key municipal school, and the city is the provincial capital, so the teaching resources are better than those in other cities. It's common for students to transfer from other cities or districts and counties, so everyone is used to it.
Besides, most teenage boys don't have much masculine charm. They're either as energetic as monkeys or have acne all over their faces. Occasionally, a boy whose family takes great care of his appearance will be a handsome young man.
After seeing the photo, Yu Lingling exclaimed, "Holy crap, he really is a tall and handsome guy!"
That's great.
Some girls were so excited when they heard about it that they came running over, shouting, "Let me see! Let me see!"
all in all--
A tall, handsome male model, who looked like a model in a teen magazine, transferred to the school. The news spread like wildfire among the girls from the first to the third year of high school. The corridors were packed with girls who came to see the mixed-race male model, almost giving the impression of a zombie apocalypse.
Everyone was a bit restless, and this restlessness continued until school ended in the evening.
I heard that some senior high school girls, both in their second and third years, came to check it out in groups.
This opportunity to be surrounded by upperclassmen and make a dazzling appearance was one that Wang He, a girl who loves to show off, wouldn't miss. He loves to act cool in front of younger girls and is quite popular among the first-year high school girls; why would he pass up a chance to expand his fanbase?
not to mention……
Fighting for food is a major event in life.
So, as soon as the school bell rang, Sunglasses King was the first to strike, dashing off like an arrow released from a bow. He was dashing and spirited, like a sprinter.
Following closely behind were several boys from the back row who had been waiting in line. In just three minutes, most of the students had rushed out of the classroom.
Cheng Sijie, being the class representative, was helping to deliver homework to the teacher and missed the best opportunity to rush out to buy dinner. She already had her favorite dinner in mind. After leaving the school gate, she turned left and walked 300 meters forward, then walked about 50 steps north. There was a spicy mixed dish shop called "Fat Sister Spicy Mix".
This restaurant also sells Mala Ban (a spicy hot pot dish), casserole, and fried rice, but its signature dish is still Mala Ban. It is said to be of Central Plains flavor, with more vinegar and sugar, and less heavy salty sauce and the old-fashioned spiciness, instead offering a more refreshing and unique sweet and sour taste.
Vinegar has a unique flavor; it's a fragrant sourness with a hint of sweetness, refreshing and appetizing. Although it's like drinking coffee, some vinegars are truly divine, not only adding flavor to ingredients but also being a delicacy in themselves.
Cheng Sijie has always suspected that the spicy mixed salad auntie is a Shanxi agent who brought the supreme sacred object, Shanxi vinegar, to this place to preach, and that she is a devout follower of this vinegar.
However, because the ingredients are fresh, the vegetables are cooked until tender and delicious, and even the meatballs made with pure technology are from a reputable brand and not from a small workshop with no production date or manufacturer, and the rice is cooked to the perfect consistency, the spicy mixed vegetables are a must-buy for students of A Middle School.
Now that she has missed the best opportunity, she probably won't be able to buy her favorite spicy mixed noodles anymore.
Yu Lingling wasn't very hungry. Hearing her sighing, I comforted her, saying that if she was willing to give up the spicy mixed noodles and eat authentic Northeastern Yunnan Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles with me, I would give up my diet today and go eat rice noodles with her.
Cheng Sijie said, "Give me a break, your diet is really perfunctory."
Yu Lingling said, "Uh..."
Yu Lingling was exposed and felt a little embarrassed.
Cheng Sijie said, "Never mind, wait for me to go to the toilet, and when I come back, we'll go eat rice noodles together."
There are restrooms on each floor of the teaching building, but during peak hours such as when classes end and students leave, you have to wait a long time. Fortunately, there are also restrooms on the playground, but you have to walk a bit further away.
Actually, Cheng Sijie felt uneasy.
Logically speaking, the arrival of a transfer student at A Middle School shouldn't concern her, but she couldn't shake off her unease.
She had the same feeling of unease when she was reported to high school and a motorcycle that broke traffic rules took off.
The human body is truly wondrous; whether excited or fearful, it causes a racing heart and restlessness. However, Cheng Sijie's sixth sense was remarkably accurate. She intuitively felt that this wasn't such a bad thing, yet she also felt a nameless unease and a sense of panic...
Never mind, I'll just follow my heart.
Cheng Sijie secretly went to check on the class where the transfer student had arrived.
The other person was also a first-year high school student, but A High School was very large and had two different departments. They were in Department 1, and the other person was in Department 2. Although they were in the same teaching building, they were not on the same floor. They needed to go around to the other department to check.
At dismissal time, the teaching building was crowded with people. In addition, many people came to see the handsome transfer student today. Cheng Sijie did not seem out of place. Occasionally, she would run into acquaintances who would greet her.
Cheng Sijie maintained a composed expression, but in reality, she was praying that too many acquaintances wouldn't see her.
Because she genuinely felt a little guilty for some unknown reason.
Cough cough.
This transfer student, whose background is unknown, immediately entered the best science class in A High School. The science elite class occupies an excellent location closest to the gate, bicycle shed, and public toilet.
Because of its proximity to these important fortresses, the area in front of the science and technology class is always crowded with people after class and school. Cheng Sijie doesn't usually linger here, but today he's unusually looking around with longing eyes.
The head teacher of the science class was busy with something in the classroom. A boy was sitting next to her. Cheng Sijie had just spotted the boy and her gaze fell on him. She was instantly petrified and speechless.
Hmm—why does that back view look so familiar?
Looking at it from another angle, "buzz!" and my mind went completely blank.
That face looks so familiar!
How is that possible? That boy actually transferred to their school?!
A strange sense of guilt suddenly gripped her, like she'd been caught doing something wrong. She instinctively took a few steps back, shrinking into the shadows of the corridor, her heart pounding. "The stalker has evolved into a transfer student?"
Wait, is this a joke?
Her feelings were quite mixed. She hurriedly went back to find Yu Lingling, who had just finished her workbook and still had more than half an hour before evening self-study. At this time, eating a bowl of hot and spicy rice noodles was the perfect thing to do.
Yu Lingling: "Yoshi, let's go, Little Orange."
Cheng Sijie: "Mhm."
Let's go, let's hurry and go eat some authentic Northeastern Yunnan Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles with Yu Lingling to calm her nerves.
She thought to herself: This is really amazing, could I have time-traveled?
