Chapter 3 Chapter 3 The Kind Transfer Student
At 7:15 in the morning, Jiang Shizao stood outside the gate of Lingcheng High School.
This is one of the times when the school entrances and exits are busiest.
Sunshine, blue sky, white clouds, and lots and lots of people.
...Okay, although a sunny day is no longer one of the criteria for absolute safety, Jiang Shizao still stopped in front of the popular school gate for a few seconds.
There's something comforting about being around a lot of people.
Afterwards, Jiang Shizao took out a business card from his pocket and looked at it carefully for a while in the sunlight.
The business card with alternating black and white letters on a dark gray background has the company name printed on it: "SURREAL Group, West Coast of Lingcheng"
Name: "Wen Qianchuan"
Position: Senior Architectural Designer
Telephone number: "TEL: 188XXXX99", as well as the business card owner's email address and company address and other information.
...West Coast SURREAL Group, Wen Qianchuan, architectural designer.
This is the business card that Jiang Shizao's bus rider handed to him before he got off the bus.
Wen Qianchuan smiled and said to Jiang Shizao, "By the way, Shizao, I got a promotion. This is my new business card. Take a look."
In this way, under the subconscious social etiquette, Jiang Shizao, who took the business card, almost knew all the information of the kind office worker, including his phone number.
"Tokihayo, last time you said you were living alone in Lingcheng... so if anything happens, you can call me."
The last words Wen Qianchuan said to Jiang Shizao before he got off the car were still kind and gentle, with concern in his tone.
...Jiang Shizao felt that Wen Qianchuan was a really good brother.
The most important thing is, with Wen Qianchuan here, I seem to have company when I take the bus in the future...? Although thinking this way makes me feel sorry for Wen Qianchuan who gets up early to work overtime.
Jiang Shi had already put his hands together in his heart and said "Sorry~" three times to Wen Qianchuan's image.
Back to the present, Jiang Shizao put away the business card and walked towards the fourth floor of the teaching building where Class 1, Grade 2 was located.
As usual, I called the system in my mind many times... but still received no response.
Jiang Shizao sighed inwardly. Then, he pulled himself together again. Today, he would rely on the relative safety afforded by maintaining his character, as well as his understanding of the novel's updated plot, to survive.
So far, I have been quite successful.
Jiang Shizao constantly imagined a perspective diagram of the school in his mind, with areas marked on it that he needed to avoid:
1. Class 2, Grade 3 (There's a Ghost)
2. Teaching Building Rooftop (Haunted)
3. The restroom on the fourth floor of the teaching building (haunted)
4. The woods next to the playground (haunted)
…
Then there are some unpredictable face-viewing areas:
5. Any corridor in the school (there are ghosts) (dangerous) (unpredictable)
6. Any staircase in the school (stair ghost will appear randomly) (dangerous) (depends on your luck)
…and so on.
…
In general, during the days when the system temporarily fails, although we constantly summarize the survival rules every day, there are still situations that cannot be avoided.
At times like these, Jiang Shizao would usually resort to the strategy of turning a blind eye and avoiding sight. He would pretend to see nothing and quietly leave the scene as naturally as possible, following the students around him.
After all, he was just an ordinary student among the many students in Lingcheng High School! He firmly believed that if he didn't seek death, he wouldn't die!
...Wait, Jiang Shizao, who had already reached the third floor and a half of the teaching building, suddenly felt that the temperature around him was a little strange again.
Jiang Shizao paused for only half a second, then walked past a "student" who was standing motionless in the middle of the stairs with his eyes lowered.
The student's skin color exposed outside the school uniform was bluish-gray.
…
After Jiang Shizao safely entered the classroom and sat in his seat, his expression changed slightly...his eyes were a little out of focus.
When will this daily ghost-seeing thing ever end?
[System, system! You have to at least tell me how to get back and disappear again! ! !]
Jiang Shizao cried in his heart.
He really wanted to go home. He even began to miss his life as a corporate slave in Jiangcheng.
…………
Jiangcheng, April 14, 20X5.
Entertainment news: Renowned mystery novelist Abyss's new book, "Bell City," has been suspended for a week. According to fans...
Another piece of news: At yesterday's author conference, a well-known author of a film or TV adaptation novel with a male protagonist joked that the forced emotional drama in Abyss's new book had collapsed, and he might be frustrated about something... Later it was learned that Abyss did not attend this author conference.
…………
Bell City High School.
The first class for Class 1, Grade 12, was Chinese. On the first day, Jiang Shi had already discovered that the textbooks in this world were the same as the ones he had learned in the past.
Novel writing originates from reality and transcends reality...it makes sense.
So when Jiang Shizao was called upon by his Chinese teacher to recite a text from a class of 35 students, he was not particularly surprised... No way!
Jiang Shizao stood up and took a deep breath.
Fortunately, he was well prepared. After all, in response to the system's prompts to maintain his persona, Jiang Shizao had really tried very hard this week to stay alive while being an ordinary high school student.
The purpose is to avoid triggering any unnecessary plots due to poor performance when encountering situations like this.
Jiang Shizao had good grades in high school and graduated from Jiangcheng's top university with an honors degree. Coincidentally, his current character in the book world also has excellent grades.
So... under the kind gaze of the Chinese teacher, the handsome boy standing behind the second to last row of seats in the fourth row of the classroom recited the text in its entirety.
"Oh my god, you're still awesome."
When Jiang Shizao sat down, he heard the voice of a classmate sitting at the next table next to the window in the fifth row.
"Teacher Zhang's eyes are melting when he looks at you." Lin Xi lowered his voice and spoke to Jiang Shizao. He was sitting across an aisle from Jiang Shizao.
This is almost the layout of all classrooms at Bell City High School.
A class typically has 35 students, each assigned a desk. Desks are arranged in five rows and seven columns. There are four aisles running lengthwise through the classroom. Lockers are provided for students at the back of the classroom.
Jiang Shizao smiled at Lin Xi. Just then the bell rang and the next class was physical education. Lin Xi immediately shouted to play ball for a while.
"Yang Yuanqing is coming too," Jiang Shizao said, not forgetting the invitation from his friend from the next class.
Yang Yuanqing was in Class 2, and everyone in Class 1 and Class 2 knew each other quite well. After all, the two classes often took physical education classes together.
"Okay. Let him call the guys from Class 2." Lin Xi said as he wanted to go to the playground arm in arm with Jiang Shizao who had also stood up.
But before he could put his arm around her shoulder, Lin Xi slipped and nearly fell.
"No... where does this water come from?"
Lin Xi, who had regained his footing, stared at the puddle of water in the classroom corridor. He subconsciously glanced at the ceiling and muttered, "There's no leak."
He patted his head and looked at the other person in the back row, "He Tianyi, did the water in your cup spill?"
He Tian, a tall and strong man, sat behind Lin Xi. "I don't even have a cup! Isn't that something only sophisticated high school students like you use?"
Seeing that the two were about to start a quarrel, Jiang Shi had already reacted quickly. He only took a look at the water marks on the ground between him and Lin Xi, and was extremely sure that the origin of this inexplicable water was not ordinary.
When Jiang Shizao spoke again, his speech was much faster than usual: "Let's go."
If you encounter this anomaly, you must get away quickly!
But today, no one knew what was going on. Not only did he encounter a series of unusual things on a sunny day, but during physical education class, Jiang Shizao saw a person hanging under the basket while pitching.
This time, Jiang Shizao inevitably locked eyes with the hanging "person." At that moment, he felt as if time was moving unusually slowly—slower than for anyone else.
At that time, Jiang Shi had already jumped and was ready to shoot.
So when the accident happened, the ball slipped out of Jiang Shizao's hands, and because his center of gravity was unstable at that moment, his body fell backwards.
"It's early!"
Suddenly, there were noises coming from all around him, and he also heard his classmate Lin Xi calling his name.
However, Jiang Shizao did not feel the pain he had imagined. He did not even fall to the ground, but instead fell into a warm embrace.
...In a short period of time, Jiang Shizao realized that he might have been caught by someone. Before he fell completely backwards, someone caught him in time.
Lin Xi had already run a few steps to Jiang Shizao, "Shizao, are you okay? Did you sprain your foot?" After saying that, he looked at the tall boy behind Jiang Shizao.
"Where did you come from? Thank you."
As Lin Xi said this, she wanted to pull Jiang Shizao to check, but she didn't expect that the person who was holding Jiang Shizao actually pulled Shizao back again, making Shizao closer to him.
"......?" Because of the other party's actions, Lin Xi looked at the strange boy's hand that was still on Shi Zao's waist, and felt something was wrong for no reason.
"...I'm fine." Jiang Shizao had come back to his senses by now.
After confirming that the person hanging under the hoop had disappeared, he turned around and thanked the person who caught him.
"Thank you, classmate."
If this kind-hearted person hadn't caught him, Jiang Shizao might have sprained his foot and fallen to the ground.
The other people on the court also gathered around at this time, and Yang Yuanqing also looked at the person who caught Jiang Shizao.
The other person must be about 1.9 meters tall, because he looks taller than He Tianyi.
"Who are you?" Yang Yuanqing was a little confused.
The stranger who appeared on the field was not wearing a school uniform. They had never seen this person at school before.
The other person was wearing a clean white shirt and light gray trousers, with the shirt buttoned to the top.
Looking at the unusually heroic features, everyone had almost the same thought: If this person was a student of Lingcheng High School, he would not be unknown.
At this time, the strange boy spoke.
He lowered his eyes to look at Jiang Shizao and said softly, "Be careful, don't get hurt."
…
—Shit. When the unfamiliar voice rang out, Lin Xi, standing nearby, reacted the most. He even shuddered at the stimulation of the man's voice.
Not only him, many people around were dazed when the boy in the white shirt spoke.
Wait, who is this person…who is this person?! How is he talking to Shi Zao…how can he speak…how can his voice be so beautiful! Can people of their age have such a voice? No, buddy, are you pinching me?
Those who don’t know would think that she was whispering to her lover.
There was a sudden silence on the basketball court.
Jiang Shizao also thought the boy's voice was pleasant, with a kind of magnetic gentleness. He subconsciously replied, "Okay, okay."
Then he saw the other person smiling at him.
In the sunshine, the kind person in front of him smiled and said to him, "Hello, I'm the new transfer student."
“Transfer…” Transfer student——?!
After hearing this confession, Jiang Shizao suddenly stood up straight!
When he looked at the boy in the white shirt again, his eyes lit up.
Transfer student!
