Chapter 228 The moon is beautiful tonight



This startled the students who had done the wrong thing, and everyone fell silent, not daring to utter a word.

The girls in the class were thinking of going up to comfort her, or perhaps going to find the homeroom teacher.

But before they could take any action, the chemistry teacher choked up and continued lecturing.

It's quite touching that a beautiful and kind female teacher cried because of some students' excessive jokes.

The same was true for the instigators; they were on pins and needles for the entire class, not daring to make the slightest move. At the same time, they were also afraid that after class, the teacher or other classmates would tell the homeroom teacher what had happened. If that happened, they would be scolded even if they didn't go home to reflect on their actions.

Unexpectedly, near the end of get out of class, the chemistry teacher brought up the fact that she had just cried.

"After class, students, please don't tell other students or teachers what just happened."

Her words immediately relieved the fearful classmates.

Perhaps the chemistry teacher simply didn't want others to know about what had just happened; perhaps she genuinely cared about those students who weren't inherently bad.

Regardless, after this incident, the students' attitudes during chemistry class improved significantly.

They not only actively answered the teacher's questions and listened attentively in class, but also completed their homework as soon as possible after class. Even those who were less diligent pretended to study hard out of guilt.

Furthermore, this positive learning attitude gradually extended from chemistry to other subjects, and the learning atmosphere in the class became better and better.

In addition, as the pressure of learning gradually increases in the first semester of the third year of junior high school, many people have begun to realize the necessity of focusing on their studies, and the class is starting to look more and more like a graduating class.

This positive atmosphere continued until around November.

As the weather grew colder, Shang Yunmiao wore increasingly thicker clothes. After the sharp drop in temperature a few days ago, she, who was sensitive to the cold, even wore a vest. And as she grew older, her increasingly prominent curves were also wrapped up in thick clothes, making her look like a little dumpling, just like when she was a child.

Well, speaking of which, it'll be 2020 in less than two months. By then, Xiao Shang and I will be a year older, turning fifteen, and only a year away from being fully criminally responsible for our crimes. Besides heinous crimes like murder, arson, robbery, rape, and bombings, what else do we want to do that we need to get around to?

After letting his mind wander and making a little joke, Chen Bing followed the timeline and recalled the major events that happened in 2020.

For example, Trump was defeated by Sleepy Joe Biden and lost the 2020 US presidential election. Other examples include the Australian bushfires, the Tianwen-series Mars exploration missions, and the East African locust plague…

Of course, the most influential one is the COVID-19 pandemic, which first appeared around New Year's Day 2020, gradually expanded around the Spring Festival, and then completely ravaged the first half of 2020.

That three-year pandemic, so distant it feels like a dream, is about to return. Regardless of the virus's origin—whether it came from eating bats, was developed in the US, or caused by something else—it's something we can't escape or avoid.

Chen Bing anticipated that the exact time might be a few days earlier or later due to the butterfly effect, but it would eventually come.

This event profoundly impacted my three years of high school and also influenced the global landscape...

Forget it, talking about world order is too far-fetched. I'm afraid I'll get caught and censored by the Time and Space Administration if I talk nonsense.

After pulling her thoughts away from that, Chen Bing focused her attention on Shang Yunmiao, whom she had started with. The girl's youthful and vibrant body, though wrapped in layers of clothing, still revealed a slightly chubby but delicate and adorable face, which contrasted sharply with her long, black, and smooth hair, making her skin appear even whiter.

I'm craving a steamed bun.

Suddenly, the urge to devour a steamed bun filled Chen Bing's mind, urging him to bully Shang Yunmiao.

Although it's not a good thing, there's no need to rush. If you really want to eat, you can wait until you're on your way home or when you get to your doorstep. We haven't started going out early and staying out late with Aunt Xuan yet, so there are plenty of opportunities; there's no need to rush.

Besides, Comrade Xiao Shang is currently focused on his studies and work. What if he messes things up and ruins the learning atmosphere?

Thinking this, Chen Bing picked up her thermos from her desk drawer and then poked Shang Yunmiao's arm. After the other turned around, Chen Bing "ordered" her, "Come on, let's rest after class and go out with you to get some water and breathe some fresh air."

Having been "ordered," Shang Yunmiao obediently got up, clutching her thermos cup to her lower abdomen with both hands, her legs twitching, and followed Chen Bing out of the classroom.

On the way from the classroom to the hot water room, there is a section where you can see large expanses of sky through the windows.

At this time of year, the moon, located kilometers away, hangs precisely in the center of the visible night sky, and it is also a full moon.

A few wisps of thin clouds passed through the bright moon again and again, circling around and around, before adding a hazy veil to the moonlight.

It wasn't that the scenery was particularly beautiful; it was just that Chen Bing had a sudden urge to make a joke about it. So he turned to Shang Yunmiao beside him and said with a smile, "The moonlight is truly beautiful tonight."

Shang Yunmiao, whose cultural literacy or internet experience was lacking, failed to grasp the underlying meaning of Chen Bing's words, simply assuming that the other party was genuinely praising the moon's beauty.

After admiring it carefully for a moment, she earnestly agreed, "Yes, it's very beautiful."

"And then, the wind was gentle too," Chen Bing added to herself, then turned her gaze to Shang Yunmiao's cheek, letting it wander lightly over her face.

The clueless shopkeeper didn't find the wind gentle, because the corridor was enclosed and the outside wind couldn't get in. Besides, even if it did get in, it probably wouldn't be comfortable in such cold weather.

But, what kind of younger brother would contradict his older brother? So, Xiao Shang started lying through his teeth.

"Yes, the wind feels nice too."

Hearing the other party say this, Chen Bing smiled subtly and then said, "Say those two sentences again, one for you and one for me."

Unsure of what the other party meant, Shang Yunmiao chose to comply.

"The moon is beautiful tonight."

"The wind, the wind is so gentle... Yes, gentle."
