Chapter 160 The Leading Man (2)
Bus No. 11 is here!
This blue and white bus, like a huge monster, was parked steadily at the platform.
The front and back doors opened simultaneously.
Chong skipped up the steps to the front door, skillfully swiped the bus card hanging around his neck with his right hand, and then walked towards the back of the car.
Maybe because it was not yet time to get off work, there were not many people on the bus. There was an empty seat right next to the back door... Chong quickly sat on it.
Sitting next to Chong was a kind-looking woman. She was well-dressed, wearing black-framed glasses, short hair, a pearl necklace around her neck, and a watch on her wrist. Seeing her, Chong felt a sense of familiarity, as if he were meeting a teacher at school.
She saw Chong sitting next to her, and she smiled and started chatting with him...
"How old are you, my friend?" the aunt asked. Her voice was soft and gentle, but she spoke fluent Mandarin.
"I am 9 years old." Chong faced her as if he were facing a teacher.
"Is it the experimental school across the street?" Auntie asked, her expression full of admiration and envy.
"Yes." Chong said proudly. He had the Experimental School badge pinned to his chest, and he was wearing a dark blue school uniform.
"It's really not easy. Not all of my friends can get into this school. I heard there is an entrance exam!" After hearing this, the aunt couldn't help but praise.
"Auntie, yes. But my test scores are very good, Mom, I am in the top 100." Chong felt that he was particularly good. He recalled the scene of taking the test before entering school -
Over a thousand children of school age, accompanied by their parents, arrived at the experimental school to take the exam. The test wasn't easy, covering first-grade Chinese, math, and English. Fortunately, Chong had already begun taking the pre-K transition course in kindergarten... Before taking the exam, he could recognize over 500 Chinese characters, do addition and subtraction within numbers 1 to 20, and his English level was already at or above second-grade level...
So, Chong felt it was easy to take the entrance exam. However, most children don't receive such early training. Chong stood out with excellent grades, ranking among the top 100 students. Finally, the school selected 150 outstanding students from 1,000 students to enter the experimental department. Chong was one of the best!
"You're amazing. What grade are you in now?"
"I'm in the third grade. After the summer vacation, I'll be in the fourth grade!"
…
Their conversation was haphazard.
The sound of a man and a woman talking to each other, accompanied by the roar of a car engine, appeared and disappeared from time to time.
When the bus arrived at Yuanyi Station, the two of them got off at the same time...
"My friend, you live nearby, right?"
"Auntie, my home is in the area across the street."
"Then do you know how to get to District XX?"
"In District xx, go back, turn left, then turn right, and then go straight..."
"Child, why don't you show me the way a few steps to the intersection where I should turn left? This is my first time in Central City and I'm not familiar with the roads."
"Okay. Auntie, we should go this way now. This way is the shortest way..."
A young boy and a girl were walking on the sidewalk beside the road.
Just as we reached the left turn, the aunt asked:
"My friend, do you want to turn left?"
"Yes." Chong. When he turned around, a strong man blocked his way...
