Mysteries of the Universe
"Ring, ring, ring——", the unique exam bell rang.
The head teacher Zhang Kuo had gone around the exam room and disappeared. Only the invigilator on the podium was left. He put down the newspaper with Q-version figures drawn on it and breathed a sigh of relief. The boring invigilation time was finally over.
She stood up and directed the students: "Exam time is up, pass the test papers from the back to the front."
The test papers were passed from the last person at each row of tables to the front. Jiang Qing passed the test papers mechanically, in a daze.
"Jiang Jiang, what are you doing?"
"Looking listless, let's go eat later. I heard the cafeteria has sweet and sour pork ribs today. Isn't sweet and sour pork ribs your favorite?"
When Song Shuang saw the teacher take the test papers and leave the classroom, he immediately rushed to Jiang Qing's desk and chattered.
A series of words came crashing down, and Jiang Qing was awakened by the chatter. She interrupted Song Shuang's yelling: "Song Shuang, do you believe in time travel?"
Song Shuang paused, surprised: "Time travel?"
After thinking for less than a second, he said, "I believe it."
Um?
Jiang Qing straightened her back, half believing and half doubting: "Do you really believe it?"
"Of course, Jiang Jiang, let me tell you," Song Shuang touched his chin and acted serious.
"Time travel is an unknown realm in the world. It's extremely difficult to implement in practice, and there's no real-world evidence to support it. But it's theoretically feasible. As long as a person's speed exceeds the speed of light, they can jump from the present to the past, achieving time travel."
"In fact, in multidimensional space, time and space may not be single-dimensional. We are just on one of the established paths."
At this point, Song Shuang looked at Jiang Qing's focused expression and smiled mysteriously: "Jiang Jiang, let me tell you, if you want to go back to the past, maybe you can even travel to another time and space, wielding a sword to travel the world, free and easy."
Jiang Qing, who was serious and thought she could hear the secrets of the universe, said: What nonsense are you talking about?
"Look at you. I can tell you've never experienced the cultivation of sentiments through numerous works of art. Traveling through time and space is a piece of cake for you. Not only can you travel back to ancient times, you can also eliminate demons and cultivate immortality."
Jiang Qing's eyes gradually became dull. What the hell are you looking at?
Looking at Jiang Qing's confused eyes, Song Shuang stopped talking with a lingering feeling, "Time travel isn't important. What's important is that if you don't go to the cafeteria, your favorite sweet and sour spare ribs will be gone."
What is sweet and sour pork ribs? What is your favorite? How could she not know?
Jiang Qing, who was dragged all the way to the restaurant, thought nonchalantly, after all, I have been exposed to the delicious food in college, how could I still be craving for that bite of sweet and sour spare ribs?
No, she cares, it’s delicious, sweet and sour pork ribs, my favorite.
While inhaling it violently, Jiang Qing praised Chef Li in her heart.
Chef Li, you are my god, the kind I will never forget no matter how many years pass.
Song Shuang sat across from Jiang Qing, watching her eat without even looking up. He couldn't help but tease her, "Look at you, it's like you haven't eaten in eight lifetimes. Is it really necessary to eat so hard?"
"What if I say," Jiang Qing raised her eyes, "I haven't eaten it for eight years?" I haven't eaten it since I went to college.
Song Shuang was startled and became serious, staring at Jiang Qing: "Well, this is possible."
When Jiang Qing first heard it, she thought she was thinking about the topic in the morning, and immediately looked at Song Shuang, waiting for her opinion.
"After all, you haven't eaten it for eight years, you haven't eaten it for fifteen years before high school, hahahaha." Song Shuang laughed so hard that he bent over.
Jiang Qing: “….”
I knew she was unreliable, but I didn't expect her to be so unreliable.
It is indeed difficult for anyone other than the person themselves to believe in time travel.
If Song Shuang told her now that he had traveled back from the future, she would definitely think that the girl opposite her might be crazy about reading extracurricular books.
Maybe she could also say something that happened in the future to prove her words, but she had long forgotten those things that happened in high school, and only remembered going to school and home every day.
Therefore, Jiang Qing knew clearly in her heart that Song Shuang was just talking nonsense.
After all, what bad intentions could a completely delusional brain have?
As for time travel, Jiang Qing thought of the old recorder. She had to try again to see if she could travel back in time. She was finally about to gain freedom and really didn't want to go through the hellish high school life again.
"What are you daydreaming about?"
A clear and pleasant young voice sounded, and Jiang Qing came back to her senses instantly.
As soon as Lin Nanyan entered the restaurant, he saw the most conspicuous person in the crowd. He carried his plate of food, walked around the long queue of people buying food, and sat next to Jiang Qing.
Jiang Qing came back to her senses from her thoughts and glanced at the boy calmly, "Why are you eating now? Didn't we finish school together?"
After she was dragged away by Song Shuang, she never saw Lin Nanyan at all.
Lin Nanyan replied as he dipped the straw into the lemonade, "The teacher asked me to go to the office when she was collecting the papers. I saw you were in a hurry, so I went to the teacher first."
Jiang Qing: "He wants to ask you something?"
"It's almost the end of the semester, and the teacher said there will be a parent-teacher meeting, so he asked me to..." He was interrupted by two girls before he could finish his words.
"What the hell?!" Jiang Qing and Song Shuang were shocked.
"Holding a parent-teacher meeting? Why does the teacher always come up with these scary things?" Jiang Qing couldn't pretend to be calm anymore. She took the lemonade that Lin Nanyan pushed to her and took two sips to calm herself down.
As far as she could remember, there seemed to be several parent-teacher meetings, but it was too long ago that she could not remember the exact time. She did not expect that she would encounter such a disaster as soon as she arrived.
Song Shuang's eyes were dull, and he looked like he was going to die. "The teacher is so cunning. He chooses to come just after the exam. When the results come out, my brother will definitely fight me."
"No, I can still work harder on the afternoon test and look at some English words more carefully. Maybe I'll get a lucky dip on the test and improve my score, which is still a bit hopeful." Song Shuang thought he was really smart. "Lin Nanyan, thank you for the life-saving information. I'll treat you to dinner next time."
She hurriedly gnawed on two bites of the ribs. "Jiang Jiang, see you later. Wish me good luck."
In a few seconds, he ran away with the food tray.
This action was too quick. Jiang Qing looked at the empty position opposite and turned around. "So, what do you want me to do?"
Lin Nanyan: "...My teacher asked me to help him organize his test papers after school this afternoon, and to compile the list for the parent-teacher meeting."
High school monthly exams are graded at a breakneck pace, often with the exam given today and the results released tomorrow. They're eager to test and report immediately, and this time, it was even worse: as soon as the scores came out, I had to face the storm of parent-teacher conferences.
"Who are you going to invite? Aunt Wang or Uncle Jiang?" Lin Nanyan asked.
"My dad, probably."
Jiang Qing was also thinking about this problem. If there was a parent-teacher meeting, her mother definitely couldn't come. Her father didn't criticize her much, so if she didn't do well in the exam, it wouldn't be a big problem.
Didn’t do well in the exam?!
Jiang Qing paused poking at the rice, thinking of the exam and what Song Shuang said before he left, and she felt like her eyes went dark.
She came through after she had almost finished the morning exam, so wouldn't the afternoon exam be as difficult as a blind man catching a scorpion?
Once the results are out, if Ms. Wang knows about it, who knows what tricks will be waiting for her.
Lin Nanyan glanced at Jiang Qing. The last time Uncle Jiang came to the parent-teacher meeting was because Aunt Wang was out of town. This time, she was afraid that it wouldn't be possible.
Lin Nanyan: "This morning you..."
"We're only going to have an English test this afternoon, right?" she interrupted the other person and asked casually, not expecting the person next to her to give any unexpected answer.
Lin Nanyan glanced at her and said, "There are also living creatures."
"Biology?! I remember English is usually the last exam subject, so why is there a biology exam?" Jiang Qing suspected that she had heard it wrongly.
"There are four subjects in total. Due to a printing error in the exam paper, we changed the science and comprehensive exam to a separate paper."
"Is this all right?"
What the hell? I happened to be taking a split-paper exam?
"It was an accidental omission," he said, glancing at Jiang Qing. "Didn't you notice that we didn't have biology in the exams these past two days?"
"Haha, I was confused during the exam. Ever since I started high school, I've had a big exam every five days and a small exam every three days. Who can remember clearly?"
Jiang Qing laughed it off. In her memory, high school was made up of different papers, including joint exams, final exams, midterm exams, monthly exams, and classroom exams that could happen anytime and anywhere.
She felt that this was God's will for her. If she had only taken the English test, with her own flashes of intelligence and the knowledge she had gained from high school, she could have managed to answer the questions roughly, and at least not leave the test paper blank.
But if I take the biology exam, I haven't touched it for years, and the knowledge points are so unfamiliar that I am really stretched and will fail.
"We have English and Biology in the afternoon, which are the last two subjects." At this point, Lin Nanyan reminded her, "I remember the teacher notified everyone in the middle of the exam."
