Chapter 218: Blooming.
Half a year has passed, and President Huo still hasn't found his commander "Qin Xiaoshuang". The world is still running smoothly according to its original trajectory. Various infectious diseases will appear in the news every season, but no infectious disease will make people lose their minds and attack their own kind.
"District 9 Survivor Base" still exists, and there are still many people active on it, and their activities have changed from looking for relatives and friends to complaining.
"Who in my family understands? I stockpiled so much stuff! And yet the apocalypse never comes!"
"I understand, I understand. My basement is full of rice. Others give away cigarettes and alcohol as New Year gifts, but I give away rice."
"I was even worse off. I thought the money would just become worthless anyway, so I spent all my savings!"
"By the way, no one has found the Commander and Lady Mao Mao yet? A woman as capable as the Commander would be very conspicuous in all fields, right?"
Commander "Qin Xiaoshuang", who is not yet eighteen years old and has not had the chance to show his talents in various fields, is lying in the school dormitory watching the forum and laughing.
A bunch of stupid subordinates, she's starting school!
After confirming that there was no more virus, Li Yanli stopped clinging to her and suggested that she go to school, but Shu Lan refused on the spot.
"I don't want to. I've lived through so many timelines, hundreds of years in total. I'm like an old goblin. Why should I go to school? I'll just go back to work."
Li Yanli said, "You told me before that you regretted not finishing high school and wanted to take the college entrance exam to see how well your clever brain could score."
Shu Lan asked suspiciously, "Did I say that?"
Li Yanli nodded firmly. "I told you that when we were living in this space and it was getting too boring, I asked you if you had any regrets in your life, and you told me."
Having too many memories can sometimes be a hassle, just like watching many movies and suddenly having to recall a line from one of them.
Shu Lan thought about it for a long time before she remembered that she seemed to have said this, and she did feel a little regretful.
So after spending the New Year at his house, Shu Lan, who had nothing to do, went back to school to continue her classes.
She hadn't dropped out of school for very long, just her senior year of high school, but her memories of all the timelines she had experienced in between felt like a century.
So all the knowledge learned in the last century was basically forgotten in this century. Shu Lan ranked last in the school in her first mock exam.
The old demon Shu Lan wasn't ashamed. Instead, she took a picture of the ranking list and sent it to Li Yanli, boasting, "Look, I have so much room for improvement. Next, I'll show you what it means to be a poor student and make a comeback, shocking the whole school."
Li Yanli couldn't help laughing: "Yes, doesn't the school prohibit cell phones?"
Shu Lan was right but still confident: "What's wrong with not letting me? I'm just having a premature love affair with a shameless college student and brought her here secretly."
Shameless college student: "Oh, I'm shameless. I don't know who is counting the days to sleep with me and have a baby?"
Shu Lan replied, "Shu Lan, not me. My name is Qin Xiaoshuang. Checking on the dorms. Bye. Bring me some crispy duck when you come to see me this weekend."
On the second mock exam, Shu Lan ranked in the middle and boasted again: "Look, what did I say last time?"
"Amazing! My girlfriend is a genius."
"But that lousy homeroom teacher was so annoying. He asked me if I'd copied someone else's test. I said, 'Big Brother, can you please look at the scores of the people around me before you say that? I scored higher than them all, so who could I possibly copy from?' He then called me impolite. Haha, my hair will be whiter than his when I die. So calling him 'Big Brother' is quite polite, isn't it?"
"Yes, very polite. God of Study, I don't have any competitions this week. What can I bring you when I visit you?"
"That place near your university where you can find beef rice in sour soup and qingbuliang."
“OK.”
As long as Shu Lan is serious about learning something, it will be easy.
Her high school was like the underground base in District 9. Senior high school students were not allowed to go home except on statutory holidays and had to stay in school to study on weekends.
Every weekend, Li Yanli would bring a lot of food to the school gate and pass it to her through the railings.
Shu Lan sat behind the railings and ate her meal: "I felt like I was in prison when I went to school. You are a prison visitor."
“Hahahahahaha…”
A group of female high school students were standing nearby, pointing and talking at the beautiful Li Yanli, and secretly taking pictures with their cell phones.
Shu Lan swallowed her food, turned around and shouted, "Classmate, you can secretly take pictures of my brother, but please turn off the flash for a moment? The teacher will be here soon to collect your phone."
Li Yanli handed her the Qingbuliang and said, "I am your brother?"
Shu Lan rolled her eyes. "What else? If I tell you that you are the father of my future child, I will have to give a speech under the national flag on Monday."
She even rhymed it, and Li Yanli couldn't stop laughing.
"Eat and drink enough, the visit is over, see you next time, brother."
"See you next time."
In the third and final mock exam, Shu Lan ranked among the top 100 in the school and became a gifted student in the eyes of her class teacher. The school also used her as an inspirational representative and asked her to give a speech at the oath-taking ceremony before the college entrance examination.
Shu Lan complained to Li Yanli, "The school leaders asked me to tell you about how I dropped out of school and worked part-time to earn money so I could go back to school. I didn't work to pay tuition, I worked to eat!"
Li Yanli said, "If you don't feel comfortable, then don't go."
"I'll go, and the school leaders will give me a 3,000 yuan scholarship in public at the oath-taking ceremony, hahahaha."
The days passed peacefully and beautifully. Shu Lan successfully took the college entrance examination and had a farewell dinner with her classmates and teachers, blessing each other generously.
She is no longer the little girl who hid in fear in a dark alley after hurting a customer, watching her former classmates laughing and walking towards a bright future.
Shu Lan's scores were good enough to get into a top domestic university, but when it came time to fill out her application, she said she didn't plan to go to college.
Then he was caught by Li Yanli's parents and received some ideological education.
"Xiao Lan, you've already taken the exams and did so well. Why don't you continue studying? Are you worried about money? Your uncle and aunt can help you pay for your tuition. Don't worry."
Shu Lan, who is lawless in front of others, will automatically be less imposing in front of Li Yanli's parents.
Because the two elders are really very good people, they actually believe in their love story of sharing hardships together in that strange dream. Although the future daughter-in-law will be a little uncomfortable, she also regards Shu Lan as a very important person.
"I'm just taking the test for fun when I have nothing to do. I don't need to go to university."
Li Yanli's parents looked at each other and gave earnest advice: "Son, you only live once. Try not to make choices that you'll regret. Imagine that when you see those college students in the future, won't you regret not going to college like them and not getting an extra degree?"
Shu Lan nodded sincerely and said, "I'm sure. I've thought about it very seriously. I don't want to go to college. I want to open a shop."
Life is indeed only once. She can take the same path as others, or she can choose to take a different path from others.
Flowers that bloom upwards are still flowers, and flowers that bloom sideways are still flowers. In short, as long as they bloom freely, that's fine.
