"Kids, what's wrong?" Xie Ran had already climbed to the first floor and was looking down at them with a smile.
But no one was looking at Jie Ran.
In the corridor, there was a group of students younger than them, carrying large and small bags and struggling to go downstairs.
Judging from their age, those kids should be from the primary school middle school group of the Jin Cup competition, and their gathering time is one hour earlier than theirs.
Some of them were carrying large suitcases, some were carrying backpacks, and some were carrying both suitcases and backpacks. There were little boys helping girls carry things, and there were two girls carrying a suitcase together. But everyone was walking slowly, panting, and too tired to talk.
It was obvious that these children climbed up the stairs with their own luggage and climbed down with their luggage.
The corridor was filled with the smell of sweat and panting, which was why these older kids were stunned when they saw this scene.
"Brother...Brother, do we have to carry our things upstairs as well?" Finally, a child asked this question while trembling.
Brother Jie Ran, who was standing high up holding the flag, laughed and waved his hand, saying, "Little boy, you are really humorous. Move to the side."
When he smiled, his fangs were exposed, and he looked like he was full of evil and had no sincerity at all.
The children filed down the stairs. When someone passed by, Lin Zhaoxi grabbed one and asked, "Classmates, when you went upstairs just now, were you..."
The little girl pointed to the wall on the left side of the stairs and shook her head, looking very sad.
At this time, there was a small commotion among the students standing on the left.
Lin Chaoxi stood on tiptoe to look, and it seemed that something stuck on the wall made them a little overwhelmed.
Looking closely, there was an A4 printed paper on the wall, with the words "Jinbei Summer Camp Entrance Test Arrangements" faintly written on it.
Well, it is indeed a show of force.
"Brother, you asked us to go upstairs. Are we going to take the entrance exam?" Zhang Liang asked.
Although he is disliked by others, Zhang Liang was very powerful when he asked questions, and the students blocking the stairs immediately quieted down.
"Call teacher!" Xie Ran said.
Zhang Liang: "Teacher."
Jie Ran: "How about I take you guys upstairs to get some fresh air?"
"The classroom is in 702?" Another student with a shaved head carefully read the "test arrangement", took a step back and shouted in horror.
"Yes, it's a bit high." The young man pretended to look up.
"But...but teacher, we carry so many things!" Lu Zhihao raised his hand in shock, carrying a trolley case.
"Yes, it is a lot."
"So where do we put our luggage?"
The question is obviously normal, but because the answer is so evil, students may feel that it is inappropriate to ask such a question.
"Yeah, you can also go to the dormitory to put your things first." Xie Ran Yande was very perfunctory.
"It's a bit far though," he said, pointing to the villa complex in the distance. "It's over there, see? It takes about half an hour to walk there, and 20 minutes round trip if you walk fast."
"It says the exam time for the junior high school group is 11:00-12:00." The student with a watch looked at the time and shouted to the wall, "It's already past 11 o'clock."
"Oh, it turns out the exam has already started, it went by so fast." He continued laughing and saying "Yeah".
"What should I do?"
"Want to put down your luggage?"
"It's definitely too late!"
The students in the corridor burst into exclamations.
"Can we take the exam on the first floor?" Zhang Liang asked.
There was an empty classroom on the left side of the stairs with the door open, but they insisted on going to the top floor.
"No, there are other students coming to this classroom later."
After hearing this, Lin Chaoxi was already very sure.
After much discussion, it was clear that they were going to have to carry their luggage upstairs.
I don’t know if it was a test of the summer camp’s strength or to test the children’s stress resistance and team spirit, but they made the students carry so much luggage and then take the entrance test.
If she guessed correctly, Xie Ran would immediately say that several students would be eliminated immediately after the entrance test to increase the students' psychological pressure.
Sure enough, Xie Ran continued, "Are you going to leave, kids? If you don't go upstairs, you will be eliminated. This way, the competition pressure on other students will be much less. It's a spirit of helping others!"
"Teacher, if you don't go up, you will be eliminated. What kind of elimination?"
"Elimination means going home. The last five people in this test will go home immediately,"
Jie Ran smiled, and suddenly tapped his head, "Oh, oh, right! Why don't you inform your parents not to go far away? After all, it's quite troublesome to go back and forth."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent.
The students looked at each other. They had just arrived, so how could they leave right away?
The elementary school students with poor psychological quality turned pale and said, "Teacher, I just got here. I can't go back so soon. My dad will beat me to death!"
"No, don't worry." Xie Ran shook his head.
"My mother took great pains to send me here!"
"Yeah, it's not easy." Xie Ran shook his head.
Lin Chaoxi saw everything Xie Ran was teasing them. How could an ordinary primary school student fight against a college student who was full of bad intentions?
She looked at the luggage on the floor and decided to raise her hand: "Teacher, can we leave our luggage here? Can you help us look after it?"
"No, the teacher is in charge of the exam. If the luggage is placed downstairs and gets lost, the school will not be responsible."
"So, you actually want us to carry our own luggage upstairs, right?"
She looked up and asked very bluntly.
Xie Ran paused for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "You can think so."
"Why?"
“It’s very heavy.”
"It's too late!"
The children were very anxious and asked questions one after another.
Yes, the most important issue is time.
It is now 11:10 and the exam ends at 12:00, so they only have 50 minutes left. Not to mention the time they have to carry their luggage upstairs, the entire exam time may only be left for more than half an hour.
Time is tight, so the organizers of the summer camp tested the accuracy of their answers under fatigue and high pressure, hoping to find students with better psychological qualities.
The students, who were originally still feeling lucky, finally realized that this was all a pre-arranged test and that they really had to carry their luggage upstairs and take part in a brutal elimination exam afterwards.
"My bag is too heavy. It's all my grandma's fault for stuffing too much stuff in it! I said no more!"
The first child threw his bag angrily, and then more children started complaining.
"His bag is lighter than mine, that's not fair!"
"My grandma is such a fool, she even brought me sauerkraut!"
"It's all Dad's fault!"
Lin Chaoxi lifted his heavy backpack without saying anything.
The atmosphere gradually became extremely depressing, and the children all hung their heads in dejection, like grass wilting in the sun.
Faced with this situation, she decided to make a final effort.
"But teacher, even if you want to test our physical strength, willpower, or ability to withstand stress, will it be useful to carry a suitcase upstairs..."
Jie Ran interrupted her: "Come up or go home, you only have two options, this is the rule."
Lin Chaoxi was stunned and speechless.
As an adult, she actually recognized this from the bottom of her heart. Jie Ran was right, every place has its own rules, society is like this, it will not be changed by anyone's will.
She lowered her head, but the children all looked up at the tall buildings. The sun was scorching, burning and hopeless, forming a sharp contrast with the ease and joy they had when they came.
This is probably the first lesson that summer camp will teach them.
There was silence for a while, and no one spoke.
All the children are waiting for someone to step forward and make a choice.
At this moment, Xie Ran turned around and went straight upstairs.
The flag flashed a bright red across the stairs.
Zhang Liang moved. He picked up the suitcase first, pushed the person in front of him aside, and stepped onto the stairs.
The pulley hit the floor tiles with a clattering sound, which seemed to be a heavy knock on everyone's heart.
At the same time, many children started to move, carrying suitcases, backpacks, zipping up, and moving in a hurry, and even started to compete for the first place. Everyone knows that arriving in the classroom later means less time to do the exercises.
This is very unreasonable, but it is just that unreasonable.
Lin Chaoxi took a deep breath, picked up the big suitcase of the little girl next to him, and said, "Come together."
"etc."
Without warning, when everything was in chaos, a clear and calm boy's voice sounded behind them.
Lin Chaoxi turned her head slowly, and in the sunlight, she saw a little boy carrying a simple Nike backpack.
Pei Zhi had been standing at the end of the team, with his cap pulled down low, making him look invisible. When he spoke, everyone turned to look at him.
Under everyone's gaze, Pei Zhi slowly raised his head, slightly lifted the brim of his hat, and looked at the young man standing high up in the corridor.
At that moment, his face suddenly became clear and vivid, and the cicadas' chirping could be heard.
"It's too late now." Pei Zhi said to the young man standing on the high ground in a calm voice.
Xie Ran: “Yes.”
Pei Zhi glanced at his watch: "It's 11:12 now, which is already past the start time of the exam. Can I assume that this exam has no fixed start time, but must end at 12:00?"
Jie Ran: “Why do you ask this question?”
"Because, considering the different number of pieces of luggage and physical conditions of each student, if someone has a lot of luggage and walks very slowly, so that he enters the examination room very late, can he still take the exam?"
Pei Zhi was very calm, and maintained a detached and calm tone from beginning to end. Although his face was still very childish, it was this calmness that made it impossible to underestimate him.
Therefore, even though Jie Ran had a lot of bad intentions, she became serious because of Pei Zhi's calmness despite being smiling from beginning to end.
"Okay." Xie Ran thought carefully and then answered.
Hearing this, Lin Chaoxi suddenly guessed something. Her heartbeat gradually quickened and she looked at Pei Zhi in disbelief.
Pei Zhi also looked at her and said, "Leave ten minutes for me."
Meeting Pei Zhi's deep and peaceful gaze, Lin Zhaoxi understood instantly.
What he meant was - put your luggage down while I look at things, you guys go upstairs first, hand in your papers early after the exam, and come down to exchange them with me.
Lin Zhaoxi was stunned.
If anyone else had made such a suggestion, Lin Chaoxi would have simply said, "Stop joking," but that was Pei Zhi.
Although still very young, he has a calmness that is totally inconsistent with his age.
"This time the number of questions in the regular Jinbei exam is three times the amount!" Jie Ran also thought of the loophole in the rules. He wanted to say something, but Pei Zhi's expression reminded him.
"Take your time." Pei Zhi said to her upon hearing this.
He still had no expression, but he gave people a sense of transcendent security.
There is no way to refute it, just believe him.
"Yes!" Lin Chaoxi nodded heavily and shouted to the children present, "Leave the luggage to him and let us go upstairs to take the exam first."
After saying that, she stepped back decisively, relaxed her shoulders outside the crowd, threw her heavy backpack at Pei Zhi's feet, turned around and went upstairs.
