Chapter 68 Chapter 68 Learning Never Ends
April 19 (Sunny)
I got up at six in the morning and memorized a text on the way to school.
After school at six in the evening, I memorized English words on the way to the cram school.
Go home at ten o'clock and do homework.
It's twelve o'clock, I'm ready to wash up and go to bed, I'm so tired.
But today during the break, I watched three episodes of anime with my deskmate. It was so good that I really wanted to finish it in one go.
My desk mate said he wouldn’t peek and would watch it with me during break tomorrow. He’s so nice.
June 20 (cloudy)
My mother said that if I did well in the final exam, she would allow me to go out and play with my friends for a day during the summer vacation.
Xiao Ming and Xiao Hong said they were going to a comic convention during the holiday and would team up to do cosplay. I want to go too.
I will definitely review well.
...Actually, I also want to cosplay with them, but I don’t have money to buy those clothes, and my parents won’t agree to let me play with these things that are not related to study.
Maybe I could secretly save the money I use to buy breakfast?
If I want to produce Enma Ai, I can use my own hair. School uniforms are not too expensive and I can buy them second-hand.
Xiaohong said she could do my makeup for me for free.
Maybe you can give it a try?
July 23 (cloudy)
The test results came out, and I scored higher than last time, but my dad asked me why I could get such simple questions wrong, and whether I was not serious during the test. It was all my fault for being too careless.
The second-hand cosplay costume I bought has arrived at Xiaohong's house. But I have to go to cram school on the day of the comic exhibition, and my mother said I can't take a leave.
I can’t go to Comic-Con anymore.
August 7 (light rain)
When I was in cram school, Xiao Ming and Xiao Hong sent me messages, asking me if there was anything I wanted. I replied secretly, but the teacher found out.
After class, the teacher called my mother and told her about it.
Dad said it was all my mom's fault for giving me the phone. My mom and dad had a fight and my mom took my phone away.
She saw the chat records between me, Xiao Ming and Xiao Hong. My mother said that my friends were all bad kids and would lead me astray, so I was not allowed to play with them anymore.
September 18 (cloudy)
Xiao Ming lent me a comic book, and I hid under the quilt to read it secretly. I don’t know why I was discovered.
Dad tore up Xiao Ming’s comic book, and Mom called the teacher and asked him to change my deskmate.
My mother also found Xiaohong and told her to stop bothering me.
I can't continue to be friends with Xiao Ming and Xiao Hong.
I have no friends anymore.
October 5 (cloudy to light rain)
It’s a holiday, but I have to go to cram school.
I had a headache and didn't want to go. My mother said I was faking illness and she pushed me out.
I forgot to take my umbrella and got wet and cold.
November 23 (light snow)
Just now when I was doing my homework, I had a nosebleed again. It flowed so fast that I didn’t have time to wipe it, and the sink was stained red.
Maybe half an hour? My nosebleed still wouldn't stop, my hands were shaking, and I was so scared.
I called my mother and she got up. She tore off some toilet paper for me and went back to sleep.
I'm so scared.
…
The main storyline seems to have emerged.
After the ten-minute countdown, the people in the classroom had no time to discuss. They each found an empty seat and sat down, ready to start the exam.
Before they parted, Yang Chenrui looked back at Yin Yan with a hint of worry in his eyes. Yin Yan noticed it, and he smiled at Yang Chenrui, indicating that it was okay.
The head teacher came in to hand out the papers. This time Yu Xiangwen and Lu Min were not spared and were also ordered to sit down and answer the questions.
After handing out the papers, the head teacher once again warned everyone not to cheat and to read the questions carefully, then left the classroom.
Yin Yan picked up the pen on the desk and looked at the questions on the test paper. Six years have passed since he graduated from the college entrance examination, and he has almost forgotten what he learned. He can only rely on the answers he memorized at the door just now.
Yin Yan has a good memory and is very good at memorizing questions.
He glanced at the test paper and did not start answering the questions immediately. Instead, he looked for the questions he had just memorized.
He found that the test paper was incredibly difficult, even including calculus. This test paper was definitely not meant for them to solve honestly.
Yin Yan read through the questions one by one, and only saw a familiar question at the sixth question. It was exactly the same as what Lu Min had copied down before, and the options were also the same, so he could just choose one.
Someone coughed, Yin Yan looked up, and Yu Xiangwen, who was not far from him, threw a note over: There is a combination lock on the cabinet at the back of the classroom.
Yin Yan looked back and saw a person-high cleaning cabinet in the corner of the classroom with an electronic lock on the door.
Bai Lili, who was sitting in the last row, noticed Yin Yan's gaze and turned back to look.
She looked around, then tried to stand up and walked to the cabinet.
There was no sign of the head teacher suddenly rushing in. Bai Lili reached out and pressed the number keys on the electronic lock, and found that the password for the cleaning cabinet was seven digits.
Seeing that Bai Lili was fine, Lu Min and Han Fang stood at the classroom door one after the other to keep watch, while the others gathered around the cleaning cabinet and studied the password with Bai Lili.
"It must be related to the test paper we did." Yang Chenrui judged.
When Li Xuan came over, he happened to be holding the test paper in his hand: "I just wanted to ask you, how do you do this question? I don't understand any of it. I only memorized the third question before, but I didn't write down the answer."
Yin Yan looked up from the combination lock at Li Xuan's paper and noticed at a glance that the questions on it were different from his paper.
"Choose B for the third question." He told Li Xuan the answer and asked Yu Xiangwen behind him, "Brother Yu, take a look at this paper. Is it the same as yours?"
Yu Xiangwen leaned over to his head and took a look, then shook his head: "It's different."
Yin Yan silently pushed away Yu Xiangwen's head that was too close.
Yang Chenrui took the papers of the remaining six people and found that after comparing them, everyone's questions were different, but each paper had a question that the head teacher had put on the PPT and asked the students to copy.
Bai Lili also made a new discovery: "There are letters under the numbers in the combination lock, and the order is shuffled."
The problem became clear, and Yin Yan responded quickly: "The order of the questions for which you already know the answers is different on each paper. You should just enter the correct answers in order."
Bai Lili understood what Yin Yan meant. She looked at the letters under the numbers on the combination lock: "a is 7, b is 5, c is 3, and d is 9."
Yang Chenrui looked at the paper in his hand: "It's over, I didn't write down the answers. I can't even recognize which questions I just memorized."
Yin Yan glanced at it and said, "Question 7."
It was a math problem, and the four answers were too similar. Yin Yan only remembered the options, and was not sure what the numbers behind the options were. Li Xuan said, "I'll go see if those students have the answers on their papers."
Before Yin Yan could say anything, Han Fang at the door said, "It's better not to. The head teacher just emphasized that cheating is not allowed."
Yang Chenrui sneered: "Aren't we cheating now?"
Han Fang: "Oh, then I will go find the class teacher and expose you now."
Yang Chenrui: "Okay, if you have the ability, open the door and go out."
Yin Yan: “…”
Yu Xiangwen complained for him first: "Are you two elementary school students?"
Yin Yan called Li Xuan who was standing there hesitantly. He went to Bai Lili's desk and got a pen. He said, "It's okay. I can calculate it. I still have some impression of this formula."
Yu Xiangwen smiled with a look of pride.
Li Xuan sighed: "Young people's brains are useful."
Yang Chenrui, who is the same age as Yin Yan: "..."
Thank you, I was scolded.
Except for Yang Chenrui and Li Xuan, he remembered the wrong answers to Han Fang's questions. Yin Yan had the habit of checking questions and corrected them.
Yang Chenrui wrote down the answers of the seven people in order, marked them with corresponding numbers, and read them to Bai Lili.
The combination lock opened successfully and a few people cheered softly.
The door of the cleaning cabinet was opened, revealing a secret door hidden behind a pile of mops and brooms.
At this moment, a familiar alarm sounded in the classroom: "Warning, a student is trying to escape from the examination room; warning..."
Bai Lili called out to Lu Min and Han Fang who were guarding the gate: "Hurry up!"
The students who were answering questions quietly in the classroom raised their heads, stood up, and stretched out their hands as if to catch the person who was running away.
Han Fang and Lu Min dodged all the way under the flickering red light and finally ran into the cleaning cabinet.
Han Fang, the last one to come in, closed the cabinet door and blocked the student with a ferocious face behind him.
The group walked through a long corridor in the dark. Yu Xiangwen, who was in the lead, pushed open the door at the end of the corridor, jumped down the stairs, and reached out to help Yin Yan out. Yang Chenrui and Bai Lili followed closely behind.
After they stood firm, they saw that the place where they came out was still a cabinet.
The room in front of me also looks like a classroom judging by its layout, but it's probably a cram school, as the door is closed.
Yang Chenrui had a bad feeling: "Isn't it time to do the test again?!"
Han Fang jumped out, holding the closet door open, and cursed, "Don't be such a pessimist."
…
[I'm a little bit obsessed with you two]
[These fujoshi really eat everything...]
[Since you're here, what's wrong with eating something?! ]
[Eating everything will only make me have a balanced diet~]
[At this moment, the love triangle is perfectly closed, four folds, no matter how you fold it, it will work! ]
[I’m queuing up to come out…]
[Others can do whatever they want, but the classical Chinese text is locked, and I swallowed the key! ]
[Pass it on! Classical Chinese is out! ]
[Laughing to death, didn’t they come out a long time ago?]
…
Yang Chenrui's words came true, and the few of them really did the exercises in the cram school again.
There is no end to learning, as long as you keep learning, you will keep learning until you die.
After finally getting out of the cram school, what was waiting for the seven of them was a girls' bedroom.
They returned to the starting point, Xiaoli's bedroom.
The layout of the bedroom had changed, so to be on the safe side, everyone went through the things in the room again.
Yin Yan found a torn comic book and a piece of paper torn from a diary in Xiaoli's schoolbag.
November 30 (heavy snow)
On the way back from the hospital, I used the money I had saved to buy the comic book that was torn by my father. I wanted to find an opportunity to return it to Xiao Ming.
I just wanted to finish reading the ending before returning it, but I was discovered again.
Comic books were ripped.
My mother cried and said that I had to be hospitalized and could not go back to school.
She asked me why I didn't eat breakfast properly and why I didn't take care of my body for the sake of a few crappy comic books.
Blame it on comic books, it killed her daughter. 】
The code for the bedroom was similar to the first time. The door opened, and a cold white light flickered at the end of the dark corridor.
The lights suddenly went out completely, and the people standing at the bedroom door did not dare to move forward for a moment.
Yu Xiangwen was pushed to stand in the front.
He took a step forward and the lights in the corridor came on again.
Under the beam of light, a girl with long hair appeared.
She was wearing a black school uniform and had a princess-cut hairstyle. She raised her head slowly and held a scarecrow tied with a red string in her hand in front of her chest.
Yin Yan and Yang Chenrui, who was hiding behind him with only his eyes showing, said at the same time: "It's Yan Mo Ai. / It's Yan Mo Ai!"
Bai Lili remembered the name that appeared in the diary, and she realized, "That must be Xiaoli, right?"
Han Fang took the initiative to greet: "Xiao Li, hello?"
Xiaoli just looked at them quietly.
After a moment of stalemate, Yu Xiangwen, like the mother hen in the game of "Eagle Catches Chicken", approached the silent Xiaoli with a long string of chicks.
This time Xiaoli moved, and she retreated into the darkness.
Yu Xiangwen stopped, and she stopped too.
Xiaoli looked at everyone again.
She seemed to be taking them somewhere.
