Although Shang Yunmiao didn't understand game characters, she knew that cos was short for cosplay. Furthermore, being fluent in English, Shang Yunmiao knew that it meant role-playing.
And when it comes to things related to role-playing...
Shang Yunmiao blushed, wondering if Chen Bing intended to take her to comic conventions in the future? But she felt a little embarrassed.
To confirm her suspicions and to prepare herself mentally as soon as possible, Shang Yunmiao asked about her own thoughts.
In response, Chen Bing smiled wickedly and said, "Don't worry, I won't take you out. It'll just be the two of us."
The naive Xiao Shang didn't understand what it meant for Chen Bing to see the cosplay at home alone. He just nodded blankly and replied that he understood.
You little rascal, I don't think you understand at all!
Chen Bing, who knew what was going on, shook his head smugly to himself, thinking that he should just be patient a little longer. It would be over soon; it was already the second semester of his junior year. Once the college entrance exam was over, he would take Shang Yunmiao out to "eat" her. He had already waited this long; what was another year or two?
Indeed, it's best to save the best for later. To prevent Xiao Shang from figuring things out too early and ruining the flavor of her dish, Chen Bing decided not to dwell on the topic and changed the subject.
"By the way, the water dispenser on our floor has run out of water twice this week. What's wrong with the school? Xiao Shang, how about we go to the principal's office after the next class and ask the new guy if he knows the school's rules?"
Shang Yunmiao was immediately drawn to Chen Bing's new topic. She tugged at Chen Bing's sleeve, embarrassed, and replied, "No, Chen Bing. We're not familiar with the new principal and teachers..."
Compared to Shang Yunmiao's timidity, Chen Bing, the top student, was much bolder. He replied nonchalantly, "What's there to be afraid of? It's not like I'm asking him to install air conditioning in the toilet. It's just asking him to manage the water supply for the water dispenser on the second floor of the Yifu Building. It's just about protecting my legitimate rights."
Besides, look at us now, we have to run downstairs every day to get water from the second floor. Isn't that a waste of study time and a negative impact on our learning efficiency?
It's not like the water is cut off every day...
Even so, after Chen Bing's persuasion, Shang Yunmiao finally agreed to accompany Chen Bing to the principal's office after the next class.
Soon, forty-odd minutes passed in a flash. After the history teacher left, Chen Bing and Shang Yunmiao followed closely behind.
The history teacher, noticing this scene, couldn't help but turn around, feeling a mix of emotions, perhaps even nine-tenths.
Finally? These two kids finally have some difficult questions to ask me? As the teacher of these future top students, can I finally play my role?!
At this moment, the history teacher was already imagining himself twenty or thirty years from now, when he was old and gray and his speech was slurred, still able to boast to others, "You know Chen Bing, the top scorer in the college entrance examination in our county back then, right? He, and his girlfriend who went to Qingyan with him, were both my students!"
After the person showed a surprised expression, the history teacher would continue to boast, "Chen Bing, although he has a good talent, is also thanks to me that he was able to get a perfect score in history."
Then he would tell everyone else everything that had happened that day, in great detail.
The beautiful fantasy came to an end. The history teacher snapped out of his reverie, flashed his brightest smile, and was ready for Chen Bing to come over and ask him questions.
Seeing the history teacher staring at her with an intense smile, Chen Bing felt a little uneasy, which was quite impolite.
In contrast to him, the very polite Xiao Shang gave a slight bow and greeted the teacher with "Hello, teacher" when he walked up to her.
Chen Bing also realized what was happening, politely greeted the teacher, and then took Shang Yunmiao's hand and ran off quickly, since the break between classes was short and they needed to get back quickly.
Two minutes later, Chen Bing and his companion, who had rushed over, arrived at their beloved principal's office.
Knock on the door, then push it open and peek inside. There, you'll see a middle-aged man with a receding hairline sitting with a cup of tea, looking at his computer screen.
The new principal of Shangping Experimental School was transferred from a middle school in a neighboring city. He is usually elusive and rarely seen by students.
However, Chen Bing and Shang Yunmiao did have a few friendly exchanges with him. After all, Shangping Experimental High School was Chen Bing's Shangping Experimental High School, and it was only natural for this out-of-town principal to try to curry favor with him if he wanted to gain a foothold.
Ahem, getting back to the main topic, Mr. Chen, the owner of the school, first greeted the teacher, and then, at the principal's warm invitation, sat down on the black leather sofa with his wife, Mrs. Shang.
Soon, he brought out tea personally brewed by the principal, as well as some snacks that he had placed in the principal's office. Of course, Xiao Shang also benefited from Mr. Chen's hospitality and was able to have a serving.
Look, look, what did I say before? When Shang Zhengxin was the principal, I said that my status as the principal had nothing to do with whether I was his son-in-law or not; it was all earned through my own abilities.
After taking a sip of tea with a smug look on his face, Chen Bing saw Principal Zhang pull over a chair and sit down. Then, with a smile, he asked, "Is there something you two students want to see me about? Of course, you can come anytime you want. My door is always open for you."
After exchanging pleasantries, Chen Bing didn't keep anyone in suspense and got straight to the point about why he was there.
As he spoke, the principal, surnamed Zhang, nodded and agreed, finally stating, "Okay, okay, don't worry, the teachers will definitely take care of things for you before lunch break today!"
"Well, I happen to have a case of bottled water here. I'll have someone bring it over for you later. Oh dear, no, no, you can't drink cold water in this weather! What if you get a stomachache? How about you take my thermos too? Just bear with it a little longer; the teacher will take care of things for you this afternoon."
The principal's enthusiasm didn't make Chen Bing feel embarrassed at all. He said, "I can't accept this," while reaching out to take the kettle of hot water that the principal handed him.
Now that things have been resolved satisfactorily, it's about time for me to leave.
After exchanging a few more polite words with the principal and teachers, Chen Bing took Shang Yunmiao's hand and prepared to say goodbye.
Just as they were about to leave, the principal suddenly called them back.
"By the way, you two, there's something else I'd like to ask for your opinions on."
