Wen Nan sat on the ground in a daze, staring into every pair of eyes around him.
Those eyes are round and connected together, blinking like stars in the night sky.
From the podium, the teacher urged again: "Don't gather around him, sit down and check if he has woken up. If so, stand up.
"Take your books and stand outside in the corridor. Read the poem you learned today aloud ten times. Go back to the classroom when you are no longer sleepy."
Before the teacher finished speaking, the group of big eyes curved up with laughter, making “hehehe” sounds.
Wen Nan's brows knitted together.
The people surrounding Wen Nan at this moment were not the classmates he had expected, and the person standing on the podium was not the teacher at all.
He was surrounded by a bunch of black, round things that looked like hairy lychees.
sea urchin.
It's a sea urchin.
Now the whole classroom is filled with sea urchins! These sea urchins have two big round white eyes on their faces (if they have faces). At first glance, they look like the coal elves in Hayao Miyazaki's film.
It's quite cute, but when all eyes are fixed on Wen Nan, it looks a little creepy.
The "female teacher" standing on the podium is not a human being, but a shrimp.
The shrimp's tail was bent against the ground, and its head was upright facing the ceiling. Only its eyes turned around and looked in the direction of Wen Nan, looking a little funny.
Seeing Wen Nan staring at her motionlessly, the Peony Shrimp teacher got a little angry. She pointed the pair of tiny claws on her chest toward the door and said, "Ye Cancan, hurry up and take the books out. Don't waste everyone's time. There are more than 60 people in our class. If everyone is late for one minute, you will owe an hour. Hurry up and get outside."
Wen Nan wanted to stand up, looked down, and was shocked——
He has no feet at all!
His body, from head to toe, is made up of a brown, elastic cylinder.
He is actually... a sea cucumber? !
Wen Nan jumped twice on the spot and stood up very smoothly.
It seems that although he has no hands or feet now, it does not affect his movements and he is very flexible.
Moving to the side of the table and seeing the book spread out on it, Wen Nan lifted a thorn on his skin and stretched it towards the book.
The book immediately stuck to the thorn.
Carrying the books, Wen Nan picked up a sea cucumber, walked through a group of sea urchins, and walked out of the classroom door.
The classroom is surrounded by windowless white walls. Outside the classroom, the corridor is also not transparent, and across the corridor there are still depressing white walls.
Wen Nan leaned against the wall and looked up. Where he should have seen blue sky and white clouds, he only saw a white ceiling.
They seemed to be living in a very enclosed space, like an underground fortress.
Could it be that, like in The Wandering Earth, most humans live underground without seeing the sun to resist some kind of natural disaster?
wrong.
Something is wrong.
Wen Nan raised his face, closed his eyes, and carefully felt the situation around him. He soon realized the problem with the environment he was in.
First of all, it was very cold here. Even if he was a sea cucumber, he was almost frozen solid.
Secondly, the ground here is not stable, but is always in a state of slight shaking.
Only by closing your eyes and feeling carefully can you feel this shaking, like...
The feeling of drifting on a calm sea.
Yes, they now seemed to be in an airtight cabin on a huge cruise ship sailing on the sea.
While he was thinking, the sound of reading aloud rang out again in the classroom behind him. Then, Teacher Mudanxia poked her big head out of the door, her eyes facing Wen Nan, "Come on, Ye Cancan, come here and follow me to the office."
Wen Nan put away the book, turned around, and subconsciously wanted to put his hands in his pockets, but found that there were no pockets. Even if there were pockets, Ji was too short to put his hands in. He put Ji at his side awkwardly and followed Ms. Mudanxia to the other side of the corridor.
Ms. Peony Shrimp led him, turned a corner, and entered a teacher's office.
In the corner of the office sat a crayfish and a sweet shrimp.
Seeing Wen Nan and the others come in, the two shrimps glanced in their direction with both pairs of eyes at the same time, and then continued to concentrate on their respective teaching plans.
Ms. Peony Shrimp walked through the office and sat down at a desk by the wall. She sat upright with her claws on her knees and pointed to an empty chair in front of her with one of her tentacles. "Come, sit down."
Wen Nan responded and sat down opposite Ms. Mudan Shrimp.
Ms. Peony Shrimp took out a basket from her desk and handed it to Wen Nan. "There are biscuits and chocolates in it. Pick what you like. Do you want some water?"
Wen Nan thanked him, took the basket, and said he was not thirsty.
Ms. Peony Shrimp cleared her throat and got to the point: "How long have you been in our class?"
Huh? Wen Nan raised Ji and scratched his head.
Ms. Mudanxia said to herself, "I remember I came here on the 25th of last month. It's been exactly three weeks now?" As she spoke, her eyes were fixed on Wen Nan's face. "How do you feel about being in class these three weeks?"
Wen Nan replied ambiguously: "It's OK."
Ms. Mudanxia continued to speak earnestly:
"In your case, you should be sent to a special education class. If it's more serious, you should be hospitalized. You should know this, right? It was your parents who insisted that you come to our ordinary school to receive education. Since the principal and the head teacher have agreed, I will definitely not say anything more.
"But your situation is special, and it's normal for you to lag behind in your studies, and the teacher can completely understand that.
"But, Ye Cancan, the teacher feels that you should at least correct your attitude. What do you think?
"If you can't concentrate on learning, or don't want to learn, or can't keep up, the teacher thinks it's okay, it's good for you to just pretend.
"But look at you now, all day long, you sleep in class, don't listen carefully, don't do your homework, and don't participate in class activities.

"Several teachers told me that your attitude is problematic. When the teacher asked you to answer a question, you said you didn't hear it. The teacher asked if you didn't understand something, and you said the teacher looked too much like a lobster, with two tentacles waving around on the blackboard, which affected your listening.
"Tell me what you are talking about. How does the teacher look like a lobster?"
Wen Nan tried very hard to control his expression, then nodded seriously.
"It doesn't look like a lobster. It should be a prawn."
The voice on the other side turned shrill when hearing this, "What did you say?!"
"Well, no," Wen Nan immediately corrected himself, "I mean, I know I was wrong, teacher."
Ms. Peony Shrimp sighed deeply and shook her head from side to side. The two long tentacles on top of her head swung back and forth like the Monkey King's phoenix-wing purple-gold crown. "The teacher didn't call you here this time to bring up old scores with you. You said before that teachers are lobsters and classmates are sea urchins. We have already discussed these issues before, so we won't waste time here.
"The teacher wants to ask you now. Although the intensity of our current transition class is not as high as that of the Olympiad class, it is close to the level of the Olympiad class. It is normal that you cannot keep up. If you really have difficulties, the teacher will help you think of a way to see if you can be transferred to a parallel class. It is relatively easier there. What do you think?"
Wen Nan frowned and did not respond to the other party's words. His eyes swept across the other party's desk and finally landed on a recent monthly exam report card. He quickly locked onto the name "Ye Cancan".
Just as I was about to ask something, I saw two people walking in from the corner of my eye.
Walking in front was a tiger shrimp, and following behind him was an Arctic clam.
It was the most beautiful Arctic clam Wen Nan had ever seen. Its shell was pure white and sparkled with dazzling laser light. Wen Nan couldn't take his eyes off it after taking one look.
But the Arctic clam had its head down at this moment (although its face could not be seen, Wen Nan felt that it should be hanging its head now), and followed the tiger prawn man without saying a word, and walked to the desk next to it.
Mr. Tiger Shrimp pointed to the empty seat next to him and said, "Come on, Jun Beibei, sit down and talk."
...Jun Beibei?
The corners of Wen Nan's lips curled up a little bit, and his smile became very deep.
Ms. Sweet Shrimp, who was sitting in the corner, couldn't help but look at Mr. Tiger Shrimp when she heard his name. She interrupted and said, "Hey, is this the top student in the grade, Beibei? He's such a good kid, why did you call him to your office too?"
"Good kid?" Mr. Shrimp was furious when he mentioned this. "She skipped class for the whole morning without any reason today. I thought something happened, so I looked for her for the whole class. But guess what, she was sitting in front of the canteen, drinking milk tea leisurely!
"That's not the most annoying thing. Do you know what's the most annoying thing? I asked her why she skipped class. Guess what she said? "She said she was allergic to seafood and couldn't accept being in a classroom with a bunch of shells and lobsters! " "What do you think that's a big deal? What lobster? What shell? Huh?!"
“Puff.”
Mr. Tiger Crayfish was halfway through his accusation when a sneer came from the other corner, causing him to turn his head and look slowly in the direction where the laughter came from.
Wen Nan hurriedly stopped smiling, cleared his throat, and raised a short thorn, "Sorry, I couldn't hold it tight."
Jun Beibei also looked towards Wen Nan.
It was clearly just a sea cucumber, but the moment he saw the other party, light immediately burst out from Jun Beibei's originally dim eyes.
It was as if I saw a different color in this absurd black world.
But the two people's gaze, as if they were alone, was broken by Ms. Mudan Xia next to them.
"Ye Cancan, you're still laughing! Still looking!" Ms. Mudan Shrimp slapped the table, "Your current condition is much more serious than hers!"
Wen Nan restrained his smile and turned to look at Ms. Peony Shrimp beside him.
Ms. Mudanxia felt that her words just now were a bit harsh. She coughed twice to cover it up, paused for a moment, and then changed the subject: "Think about what I just said. Changing classes is actually for your own good—"
"——I agree to change classes, teacher." Wen Nan interrupted the other party halfway through his words.
Ms. Peony Shrimp was stunned. "Are you... sure?"
"Yes," Wen Nan nodded firmly, then raised his hand and pointed at Beiji Bei next to him, "I want to transfer to Jun Beibei's class." (End of this chapter)
