Chapter 32
The writing style of the admission notice of Enge Junior School for Special Abilities is also "very Enge", which is very consistent with the first impression given by this school.
The writing format is standard and the wording is concise and precise.
With an "enthusiastic attitude" that does not reveal its enthusiasm, the admission letter begins by congratulating Jiang Yunu on the successful approval of her application and warmly welcoming her to become an official member of Enge. And with an "expectant attitude" that does not reveal its expectation, the admission letter ends by stating that the school is looking forward to her timely registration on the 9th of next month and is especially looking forward to the arrival of new students.
Jiang Yunu read the notice carefully twice, and at the same time, Joeysen had already jumped around the dining table almost twice.
Joyson was so excited that he hit his knee under the table and it was still hurting. The impact was so strong that he even limped when he walked. He really wanted to express his celebration through body language, so he was very "strong-willed" and hopped on one leg even though his leg was limping.
The red-haired boy is now in the typical state of "pain and happiness", and he feels like a monkey. He looks at Jiang Yunu again and feels that his emotions are in stark contrast to Jiang Yunu's.
Jiang Yunu's relatively calm attitude made Qiao Yisen a little worried. He was afraid that the two of them could not go to school together, and that his beautiful expectations would be dashed. In addition, he was not an optimistic person at heart, and his first reaction was always to think in a bad direction.
"How are things...over there?" Joyson asked Jiang Yunu tentatively, his words vague, not daring to speak too clearly.
Jiang Yunu raised his head, a smile on his face: "Yes, I think our results will be the same."
Joyson obviously breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart, which had been hanging in the air, fell back into his stomach. He began to hop on one leg towards Jiang Yunu.
"You scared me to death!" Joyson couldn't help but complain as he jumped over. "Why were you so calm? You didn't seem to be jumping for joy at all. I almost thought... that the result on your side wasn't that good."
Not only is Joyson not optimistic, he is also a little superstitious. He is determined not to tell the details of the bad result, for fear that telling the details will turn the good thing into a bad one.
"I'm not very calm," Jiang Yunu explained. "I'm just so excited that it's not obvious."
After saying this, in order to show that he was really happy, Jiang Yunu manually raised the corners of his mouth, using two fingers to support the corners of his mouth, revealing a big smile.
"..."Joeysen was about to jump to Jiang Yunu on one leg. His knee was still hurting, which affected his movement speed. But when he looked up, he saw a smiling face in front of him. He was silent for two seconds, then jumped back two steps, increasing the distance between him and Jiang Yunu a little bit.
"Please don't smile like that." Joyson leaned against the wall and said in a very firm tone, "For some reason, this smile on your face looks particularly creepy."
"Why?" Jiang Yunu's hands were still supporting the corners of her mouth. She was in a really good mood now and didn't mind "increasing" her smile.
She kept smiling and asked sweetly, "Don't I look like a very happy little girl now?"
Joyson: “…”
Joyson looked at Jiang Yunu carefully, then said honestly, "You look like the evil little girl in a thriller who just learned that her plan was perfectly executed and that some major and evil goal was about to be achieved. So she smiled brightly, overjoyed because she was about to do something big."
Jiang Yunu still kept smiling and accepted the "evil character" that fell from the sky.
"Great." Jiang Yunu said happily, "I don't mind evil at all."
Joyson looked her over and over again. "Tell me, are you actually some big villain who's inhabiting or reincarnated in the body of a little girl? When we go to school and learn skills, will your true nature as a demon king gradually be revealed?"
Jiang Yunu nodded seriously: "Who knows? You saw through my secret in advance."
Jiang Yunu responded to Qiao Yisen's irrelevant words. She deliberately lowered her voice, holding her mouth with her hand, and said with a "sweet but evil" smile: "Since you have discovered this, it's such a pity. I have no choice but to-"
Aunt Daisy stood in the back and asked, "What's the best way?"
Jodaith listened to the conversation between the two children. She did not interfere with their school choice and independent registration, and gave them enough time to celebrate with each other. Just now, after the two received the admission results, she just stood aside and did not directly join in the conversation.
It was not until the topic became increasingly irrelevant and the two children's words became increasingly strange that Qiao Daisi joined in with interest and asked Jiang Yunu this question.
Jiang Yunu immediately put down the finger that was exaggeratedly lifting the corner of his mouth, and when he turned his head to look at Aunt Dai Si, he became really well-behaved in a second.
She tilted her head back and said to Qiao Daisi like a truly adorable little girl, "I'll just have to work hard at school and quickly regain my status as the Great Demon King. Then I'll repay Aunt Daisi and let everyone in the galaxy know that Aunt Daisi is the one I protect."
Qiao Daisi thought that the "evil little girl" and "future big devil" would say something earth-shattering, and she was mentally prepared. Unexpectedly, instead of waiting for the horrifying words, she waited for double the upgraded version of sweet words.
To some extent, Jiang Yunu's words were "earth-shattering" on another level.
Aunt Daisy was speechless for half a minute. She raised her hand and pinched the face of the "future great devil": "Hey, future great devil, your ambitions are not very high. You are about to become a devil, but why do you want to publicly declare your protection for a civilian aunt?"
"What's wrong with Auntie Civilian?" Jiang Yunu was pinched on the face, but still smiled. "Auntie Daisy is so kind to me, and Joeysen has also helped me a lot. When I have power, of course I will use it to protect the people I want to protect. The ambition of the Demon King is to have the ability to do whatever she wants."
Qiao Daisi originally thought that Jiang Yunu's words were similar to Joeysen's irrelevant fantasies, but when she heard the last half of the sentence, her heart moved, as if she was really touched by the little girl's words.
He released the fingers that were pinching Jiang Yunu's cheek and touched her head again.
"Then Auntie wishes you success," said Aunt Daisy.
Then, Jodaisi glanced at her son, who was still leaning against the wall a few steps away, with a hint of disdain. She nodded her chin towards Joyson's knee and said, "Go get your knee taken care of quickly. Then come to the kitchen. We'll make a big dinner tonight to celebrate your successful admission."
Joyson quickly hopped like a limping rabbit to find the medicine box and quickly patched the injured knee.
After all, he is young and has amazing recovery ability. Not long ago, Joyson was in so much pain that he was afraid to put his legs on the ground. After recovering for a long time and receiving simple treatment, he was able to stand normally next to the kitchen stove and help Aunt Daisy.
Jiang Yunu also went into the kitchen to help.
Joyson was originally planning to kick her out. He had already noticed the new thing on Jiang Yunu's wrist. He knew that his mother had helped Jiang Yunu solve the problem of the personal terminal. He acted even happier than Jiang Yunu who had received the gift. He was genuinely happy that Jiang Yunu could have a more convenient time. He also actively praised his mother for Jiang Yunu getting the terminal.
"Why don't you go out and study your personal terminal?" Qiao Yisen hurried Jiang Yunu, who was standing by the sink. "Mom and I will be in the kitchen. You can go to the dining table and play with the terminal for a while to get more familiar with the operation. Dinner will be ready soon."
Jiang Yunu had already closed the floating screen that had been open for a long time. She stood steadily by the pool and was not driven away by the half-crippled Joeysen. Instead, she moved slightly and pushed Joeysen away.
"You can study the terminal anytime. I can even go back next door and look at it later," Jiang Yunu said. "This is our admissions celebration dinner, so of course we both have to work together. But don't think about pushing me out. You're not very mobile right now, so I'll easily push you out. Be careful, or I'll kick you out of the kitchen and make you stay at the dining table."
Jodais didn't know how it happened, but helping in the kitchen had become such a "good job" that it even attracted the two children at home to fight for it. She wasn't sure if other children loved to work so much, but at least in their family, this scene was actually happening.
Aunt Daisy's face was as cold as ice, and she said with great authority, "If anyone of you pushes in the kitchen again, I will pick you up and throw you out."
But in fact, the red-haired woman only uttered one stern word. In the blink of an eye, she turned her back, raised the corners of her mouth, and smiled as she adjusted the heat of the stew pot.
The small kitchen was almost crowded with three people. Jiang Yunu was responsible for washing, Qiao Yisen helped prepare and chop the vegetables, and Qiao Daisi looked at the fire and saw that it was almost time to put in the ingredients, so she took the washed and chopped ones and put them in.
It is like a small and cozy family handmade assembly line.
This assembly line cooked a sumptuous dinner, the aroma of which was so rich that even when Jiang Yunu returned to the second floor of the garbage hut opposite, he could still smell the strong and sensual aroma in his own home.
Before, Jodaisi didn't seem to care about her children's school choices, but when the good results came out, she was really happy. Tonight, she opened a bottle of wine from the storage room for the first time - but of course she drank it alone.
Jiang Yunu showed interest in the drinks and said eagerly that she could have a drink with her aunt.
Aunt Daisy rejected it without blinking.
"Want to have a drink with Auntie?" Qiao Daisi shook her glass. "Then wait until you at least graduate from elementary school and get your diploma from the elementary school for supernatural powers."
Joyson had little interest in wine and only tried to stop Jiang Yunu when he showed interest. Upon hearing this, the red-haired boy counted on his fingers -
"Isn't that right?" Joyson said after he finished the calculation. "Mom, after graduating from junior high school, Xiao Jiang and I are still adults, right? Minors can't drink like this."
Jiang Yunu and Qiao Daisi turned to look at him together.
Jiang Yunu said, "If I drink secretly at home, no one will care, right?"
Jodaith said, "Huh? I'm at home treating a little girl to a drink, and the assistant robot can sneak into the dilapidated street to control us?"
Joyson: “…”
At a certain moment, Jiang Yunu felt that Qiao Yisen's expression seemed to be saying: I can't believe that he is the most law-abiding person in this family!
Perhaps Joyson later realized that the other person's words were not taken seriously, so he stopped expressing his opinion and only asked Qiao Daisi to go and rest when she was obviously drunk. Jiang Yunu and Joyson cleaned up the table and pots and pans together.
Before leaving the Qiao family, Qiao Yisen added Jiang Yunu as a terminal friend in the living room.
The moment Jiang Yunu added a friend, he felt like he was back in the old days, when people scanned each other's business cards using a certain green software.
Qiao Yisen also reminded Jiang Yunu: "Have you set your username? If you haven't set it, when others add you as a friend, it will show a string of basic numbers."
Jiang Yunu is a person who likes to use her original username. She has been active on various social software for many years without choosing a specific username, and sometimes she is easily mistaken for an "advertising spam account."
"Does it matter if I don't have a nickname?" Jiang Yunu asked.
"This..." Joyson obviously thought for a moment, then hesitated. "It's not a big deal. Generally speaking, everyone will change it to make their username more personalized. Because this username is universal, whether you're logging into a local community website, the school network, various simulated combat aircraft, entering a virtual training ground, adding teachers and classmates as friends, participating in campus activities, etc.... Basically, anywhere you need to use your personal terminal to log in, your terminal user nickname will be displayed."
After listening to this, Jiang Yunu felt that this user nickname seemed to be worth choosing. Unfortunately, she was not good at naming. She stared at the nickname filling interface for a moment and couldn't think of a name immediately.
Qiao Yisen quickly comforted her, "It's okay if you don't choose one right away. As long as you haven't changed your username yet, you always have another chance to change it. It would be bad to rush into it and then regret it later. Because this username has modification restrictions, you can't change it for several years after you choose it."
According to Joyson, many people named their first personal terminal as a joke right after they got it. However, they found out that the nickname they picked casually could not be changed and had to accompany them all the way to school, meet teachers and make friends. They felt like the sky was falling.
After hearing this, Jiang Yunu felt relieved and thought that there was no need to rush to change her username, so she kept her original username - [User24071523].
When adding friends, Jiang Yunu saw Qiao Yisen's username by chance. When she borrowed the other party's terminal in the past, she really didn't pay attention to the other party's username.
She read out the first friend's name on her friend list: "'Phantom of the Flaming Attic'?"
“…………” Joyson quickly covered his face. “Please, don’t read it! I know it looks a bit embarrassing!”
Jiang Yunu: "...It's actually not that bad."
But she suddenly seemed to understand that it was those people who felt like the sky was falling when they found out that the names they had just picked up would be used for their studies in school.
Qiao Yisen covered his face and sent Jiang Yunu out the door, too embarrassed to say another word to her.
Jiang Yunu returned to the second floor of her little house where the faint aroma of food was wafting in the air. She did not find the lingering aroma of food annoying. Instead, she felt that it was a kind of family flavor that she brought from the Qiao family, which made her second floor even more cozy.
Jiang Yunu, Qiao Yisen and Aunt Daisy have known each other for a long time. Even from a legal point of view, they are now a real family, and Aunt Daisy has the guardianship and care of her.
However, out of the traditional code of the residents of the dilapidated street, they respected Jiang Yunu's privacy to the greatest extent.
Even though she had become Jiang Yunu's guardian, Qiao Daisi did not rashly say that she wanted to come to Jiang Yunu's house to take a look. She did not interfere with her "territory" at will and respected her personal space.
Joyce had expressed his desire for Jiang Yunuo to simply live at No. 78 across the street. Although their house was small, they could still find a room for Jiang Yunuo.
This proposal was rejected by Jiang Yunu himself.
She felt that the second floor of her small garbage house was not bad, and the two families were neighbors. Living in the building opposite the Qiao family was almost like living in a "big room" just across the street from them. She opened the window and could even shout to Joeysen, who also lived on the second floor, across the street.
The Qiao family mother and son still don’t know what the interior of Jiang Yunu’s hut looks like.
Jiang Yunu felt that everything was fine on the second floor of her cottage, and she never thought there was anything wrong with having to climb the half-broken steel stairs every day to go out and come back. Her attitude was so frank and confident that others would really think that her living standard was in line with the "basic average".
It is hard to imagine what is really going on inside the cabin.
Jiang Yunu is a person who is very passionate about life, but surprisingly has low requirements for living conditions.
All the things she collected after coming to Xiate City were put into a box. They used to be placed in a corner of the bed. Jiang Yunu's "supply department" was a small corner cleared out on the bed. Now, she has lived in Xiate City for quite a while, and she still regularly cleans the recycling bin. She once again demonstrated her hands-on spirit in the isolated island base and made a large storage box for herself on the second floor of the house.
The storage box was very spacious and had a large capacity, enough to hold all of Jiang Yunu's daily necessities, making her bed much more spacious. She could turn over at night without worrying about accidentally sweeping something off the bed.
The air was still filled with the faint aroma of food, and the small desk lamp, which had benefited from the city's public electricity, was quietly lit.
With Jiang Yunu's "child-like" charging method, this small desk lamp that should have been scrapped long ago in Joyson's eyes is still working. The charging port that is a little malfunctioning always miraculously gets better after Jiang Yunu coaxes it a few times. It charges diligently and then illuminates the small space that Jiang Yunu has worked hard to create for herself at night.
With the help of the desk lamp, Jiang Yunu took out her notebook and pen from the storage box.
She found the page where she had carefully written down "superpowers" and "school", and put a nice check mark behind both tasks.
After ticking the box, Jiang Yunu touched the personal terminal on her wrist, opened it, pulled out the folding floating screen, found the mailbox interface again, and clicked on the only email in her mailbox -
Her acceptance letter.
Jiang Yunu was not the first to receive an admission letter, but that was when she was still in the previous world.
This admission letter was different from any she had ever received and was extremely meaningful.
When Jiang Yunu wrote "go to school" in the notebook, he just wanted to go to school.
After discovering that she seemed to be 11 years old and had successfully passed the ability classification test, Jiang Yunu thought that she could go to school.
And now, at this moment, the favorite school she had carefully selected sent her an admission notice. Jiang Yunu read all the words on the admission notice again. Her emotions, which were not very obvious in the evening, suddenly swelled up, and she felt a belated excitement and accelerated heartbeat.
She really is going to school!
She already knew that there were superpowers in this world, and she also knew that she had earth-type superpowers, but her understanding of earth-type superpowers was limited to the two things: "the stereotype is rich" and "earth-type mechanics", and she really didn't know much about it.
Jiang Yunu had no idea what it would feel like when she actually used her supernatural powers and felt the earth-based supernatural powers being released from her body.
What would it be like to use her powers? Would she feel a fire or a gas somewhere inside her body, guiding them to release?
Where will they be drawn out from? Are they substantial or not? Can she personally touch her own supernatural powers, or touch the creations condensed from her supernatural powers?
Jiang Yunu has too many whys.
She hasn't gone to school yet, but her desire to go to school has reached an unprecedented level.
After getting a personal terminal from Aunt Daisy and joking with Joyson who also got the result he wanted, Jiang Yunu openly created characters for himself, including "evil little girl" and "future devil king". But to be honest, "being a devil king" was just a joke. Jiang Yunu was serious about wanting to have power, to be able to do what he wanted freely, and to have enough strength to support his freedom.
She wanted to go to school and explore her abilities.
She also wants to become stronger.
Jiang Yunu put down the notebook and pen in her hand, and pulled up her sleeves under the desk lamp.
The loose cuffs slid easily down the thin arms that were still children's, all the way to the elbows, and were caught in the bent elbow joints.
Jiang Yunu spread out his arms under the light. The skin there was as smooth as new, and his complexion was so white that it would not get tanned no matter how much sun it was exposed to.
There is no trace of the scars they once had.
But the wounds can heal, and no trace of them can be seen on the fair skin, but Jiang Yunu will never forget what they have experienced, how she used these hands to insist on not giving up on herself, how hard she had tried to survive, and how she tried to fight for her own life in a completely passive situation.
"Although I did a good job that time." Jiang Yunu will always affirm and encourage her past self, and she really feels that she did everything she could at that time.
but……
"But I still hope I can become stronger." She said, looking at her arm under the desk lamp.
No matter how bad the start or how difficult the situation, she never lacks the courage to fight.
But if there is a chance to become stronger and become more powerful, Jiang Yunu will definitely not miss it.
So she is particularly enthusiastic about going to school.
While lying flat on the small bed, Jiang Yunu briefly recalled the hole that she had worked hard to fill, and "Twenty-two" who had accompanied her for many days on the bench made from a box.
Then her mind turned, and she thought of the small building No. 78 next door, and of Aunt Daisy and Joyson.
Want to become stronger.
In addition to protecting yourself, you also hope to protect others.
Jiang Yunu hardly dared to think about it. If there was someone alive like her among the white-haired child buried in the sand in the pit, could she have successfully escaped with that person?
I'm afraid the hope is very slim.
So get stronger, get stronger.
In the future, when you face difficult situations, be a person who not only does not give up on yourself, but also attacks the difficulties. If you have companions in dangerous situations, be the one who not only breaks through but also protects your companions.
Jiang Yunu fell asleep with the anticipation of going to school and becoming stronger.
The registration date for new students at Enge Primary School for Special Abilities is the 9th of next month. The period before the 9th is for new students to prepare their school supplies, read some "Student Handbooks" distributed in advance, and use the preparatory materials for self-study courses.
When buying things for the start of school, Jiang Yunu had already accepted the personal terminal given by Aunt Daisy, so she felt that she could not let her spend any more money. Just as she was dozing off, a pillow came to her. As an underage new resident of Chat City, she was notified that she had received a special allowance, which made her star coin account no longer 0, but a real number appeared.
Jiang Yunu checked the source of the special allowance and found that it might be the credit of the staff who handled the identity registration at that time.
Seeing that Qiao Daisi was an "unfortunate lady" who had to take care of two children alone and lived in a run-down street, the staff member tried to apply for a special subsidy for Jiang Yunu. Jiang Yunu just met the requirements and received an allowance for minors.
This money is equivalent to the minimum living allowance specifically given to children, and she can receive it until she finishes the primary school for special abilities.
"Great!" Jiang Yunu was grateful for the money and immediately told Qiao Daisi, "Aunt Daisi, look, I have money now. I can buy things on my own."
Qiao Daisi was ready to buy double the school supplies this year. She originally wanted to ask Jiang Yunu to save the allowance, but she felt that Jiang Yunu might be stubborn and it would not be good to force him to spend money, so she gave up the idea.
"Okay." Aunt Daisy tapped the little girl's forehead, "You're a rich little girl now. You can buy things for yourself."
Jiang Yunu couldn't help but think about that staff member: "Should I go to the management center again to express my gratitude to him?"
Qiao Daisi was a little amused, but also a little annoyed: "Does it really need the child to intervene in this kind of situation? I can just go to the management center next time I pass by on my way to work."
Aunt Daisy criticized Jiang Yunu for being too "independent" and being a child who did not realize that she could rely on adults to do many things for her, which sometimes made her lose some of her sense of accomplishment as an elder.
"Don't ruin other people's fun of being an elder," Aunt Daisy said finally, her tone deliberately serious. "You're growing up so fast. Once you get to the elementary school for supernatural powers, you'll start living in the dormitory. Once you start living in the dormitory, you'll only come back once every two weeks. If you only come back twice, a month will have already passed. I only have to see you seven or eight times, and half a year will have passed in a flash. You two will grow and change so quickly, and the days I can enjoy being the head of the family will gradually become fewer and fewer."
Jodie had originally said this seriously, but as she spoke, she seemed to feel a little melancholy.
Jiang Yunu immediately patted the back of her hand to comfort her.
Joyson was also listening nearby. He had lived in a dilapidated street since he was a child and was raised by Jodie alone. He suddenly felt sad after hearing this.
"Mom." Joyson hung his head, his hair seeming to darken a little. "What do you mean? I haven't even gone to school yet, and I already want to go home."
Jodaisi realized the emotional impact she had on her child and immediately changed her attitude: "That won't do. Haven't you been looking forward to going to school for so long? How can you learn more about supernatural powers if you don't leave home?"
Jiang Yunu also cheered him up: "That's right, cheer up, Phantom of the Flaming Attic!"
Joyson: “…”
The effect of being suddenly called out by a user's nickname on the street was extraordinary. Joyson was not only cheered up, he was shocked and felt a little numb from the excitement.
"Please," Joyson said humbly, "I'll buy you ice cream, will you stop calling me that?"
Jiang Yunu originally just wanted to give Qiao Yisen a little surprise, but he didn't expect there would be an unexpected surprise.
Joyson has always had some pocket money, not much, but better off than Jiang Yunu, whose account was always zero. Buying an ice cream is still within his means.
Jiang Yunu immediately changed his expression and said with a smile, "Thank you, brother."
After being called like that, Joyson went to buy ice cream even more without any temper.
Because Jiang Yunu and Qiao Yisen were both students who received subsidies and benefits, most of the items on Eng's back-to-school list had already been taken care of by the school, so students no longer needed to purchase them on their own. They just needed to bring some personal items so that they could settle into the dormitory more quickly.
Although Jiang Yunu received the "child minimum living allowance", she still had to spend frugally. While eating the ice cream that Joyson treated her to, she compared prices and bought some necessary items for the dormitory, keeping her expenses within an extremely streamlined range.
When Joyson was almost done shopping, he remembered something.
"By the way," Joyson said, "has your mentor contacted you?"
Jiang Yunu said, "I've made contact."
Engel was indeed a very traditional school. In the days leading up to the start of the semester, all freshmen received a new notice stating that an old system at Engel would be reinstated starting this year.
Each new student will be paired one-on-one with an older student.
The pairing is arranged by the school. After pairing with the freshmen, the senior students will become the "guide students" of the freshmen and will take care of the freshmen throughout their first year.
When Jiang Yunu said "contacted", she meant that her mentor had just sent her a message on the campus network through the school's official contact platform, and hoped to add her personal contact information.
The other party sent the email through the official website in the morning, but Jiang Yunu only saw the reply at noon. The other party has not replied to her yet, probably because he is not used to checking the official website mailbox.
Joyson said: "I have added my guidance student as a friend. He said that he will personally greet me at the school gate on the 9th. If I have any questions about the school, I can talk to him in advance in the next few days."
Jiang Yunu hadn't even had a chance to talk to her mentor yet, but later that day, she received a friend request on her personal terminal.
——User [Zhu Ming Ying Xue] requests to add you as a friend.
