The lunch at No. 111 Huayuan Road was not rich but exquisite. It was delivered by a nearby private restaurant. It included four dishes, one soup and a fruit plate. Every dish looked like something Yan Yueming couldn't afford.
But Yan Yueming had no time to think about this today. Facing these exquisite dishes, he was still recalling what Li Zheng had just said to him in class, and he couldn't tell how he felt.
"Eat, junior, we don't charge for food here." Que Ge took the initiative to serve Yan Yueming a bowl of soup.
Yan Yueming hurriedly took it with both hands, and suddenly remembered that she hadn't paid the tuition yet. She quickly collected her thoughts and asked, "Senior, how do I pay the tuition?"
Que Ge picked up another piece of meat for him with serving chopsticks and said, "The teacher hasn't come back yet. Let's wait until the teacher comes back. Don't worry, Senior Li is not short of money anyway."
When Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrived, Li Zheng came down from upstairs. When he heard the three words "It's not short of money," he sat down and said, "Since it's not short of money, how many dishes will you order?"
Que Ge blinked, surprise gradually spreading in his eyes. Wen Renjing, who had been sitting upright and pretending to be silent, was the first to say: "I know that a new hot pot restaurant has opened near Bailiangjin, and the ratings are very good."
"Does the principal know about it again? Could it be that he went to visit the store secretly behind our backs?" Que Ge teased.
"How can you call eating something secret? Junior sister, you used the wrong word." Wen Renjing looked like a young adult, his face full of seriousness.
The two bickered and refused to give in to each other. Yan Yueming found that they were much more lively at the dinner table and did not remain silent because of Li Zheng's presence. He also realized that this was probably a welcome banquet for him, but he just came to take a training class, and he hadn't even paid the tuition yet. How could he be so virtuous and capable...
Yan Yueming: "I..."
"Okay." Li Zheng spoke, "You decide the restaurant yourself and come back to me for reimbursement. Eat."
Que Ge and Wen Renjing were instantly well-behaved. Only then did Yan Yueming realize that they had only been lively for a short time. For a moment, there was only the sound of clinking bowls and chopsticks on the table, and Yan Yueming had no choice but to eat honestly.
Apart from anything else, this dish was really delicious, and Yan Yueming was a little moved after eating it.
Auntie, I seem to be really lucky. I came to a really great place, and even the food is so delicious.
But in the afternoon, Yan Yueming no longer thought so.
In the afternoon, he had two big classes, from Qi phase to theory of consciousness. Countless knowledge points were like cold icy rain hitting his face. He studied very hard, trying to keep up with Li Zheng's pace, but it was still a little difficult.
During the break, Yan Yueming went downstairs to get a drink of water. Looking at Wen Renjing who was playing chess with him and Que Ge who was secretly surfing the Internet to watch interviews with celebrities, he couldn't help but ask: "Is today's class schedule correct?" Isn’t that right? Am I taking up everyone’s class time alone..."
His original intention was to express his apology tactfully and then ask why he was the only one in class.
Wen Renjing raised his head and answered him: "Because you are the only one here who needs to take theory classes."
Que Ge nodded, "Yes, junior, don't be embarrassed. Our classes are all in the evening, practical classes. When you have almost mastered the theory, you will also have the opportunity, so don't worry."
Yan Yueming: No, you misunderstood, I'm not in a hurry.
After finally getting through a day of classes, although there were only three periods, Yan Yueming felt like he had lost three years of his life. Even facing Li Zheng's sniping face, Yan Yueming couldn't bear the sound of his ears getting pregnant, and his whole body was like an eggplant beaten by frost.
Que Ge looked at his face and said distressedly that he would give him a good patch up, and then he and Wen Renjing took him straight to the hot pot restaurant.
The three of them took a taxi. When they were leaving, Yan Yueming couldn't help but look back and asked, "Senior Li, aren't you going with us?"
Li Zheng has never participated in such group activities.
Wen Renjing has been here the longest, and he has the most say. "In addition to teaching us, senior, the dragon is usually invisible and its whereabouts are unpredictable. But you will be able to see his shop later. If you visit in the future, You can’t find him anywhere, so you can try your luck in his shop.”
At first, Yan Yueming thought that the flower shop would have an independent store on a unique small street, decorated very stylishly, just like No. 111 Huayuan Road. When I got there, I discovered that Bailiangjin and the hotpot restaurant were in the same shopping mall.
The shopping mall with people coming and going and the shops with colorful flowers complement each other. Judging from the customer flow alone, the business in the store must be very good. No wonder Senior Li is not short of money.
This flower shop is called Bailiangjin, a popular and elegant name.
Yan Yueming specifically checked it on the Internet. One said it was the name of a shrub, and another said it was an alias for peony. In short, they were all related to flowers and plants. She didn't know which meaning Senior Li took.
At this time, Wen Renjing said: "The teacher said that every inch of land in a gold shop is called - one hundred taels of gold."
Yan Yueming: "..."
sorry! I was wrong!
Yan Yueming was glad that she didn't ask, and made up her mind to say less and make fewer mistakes in the future.
The three of them recognized the door and then turned to go to the hot pot restaurant to eat. Yan Yueming was embarrassed to let Senior Li spend money. Before coming, he was worried about what to do if he ate too much. However, Que Ge and Wen Renjing were determined to eat from big restaurants. They would order as much as they could and only choose the expensive ones. Don’t choose the right one. Even though Yan Yueming didn't order anything, she still felt full after eating.
At night, Yan Yueming returned home and decided to study hard to repay Senior Li's warm hospitality. If he was lucky enough to be admitted to the Qi Xiang Bureau in the future, he would never embarrass Senior Li.
No, he must pass the exam.
So, on the first day of school, Yan Yueming read until midnight. His new friend Cao Yu sent him a message, curious about what he saw at No. 111 Huayuan Road.
Yan Yueming couldn't tell him directly that the teacher had run away, so she thought about it and replied to him——
Come on Xiao Ming: they are all good people.
Grass Carp Prince: It seems that the rumors are not credible. They say that they are very strict there, have a weird temper, and are not easy to get along with.
Come on Xiao Ming: It must be all rumors!
Grass Carp Prince: It’s just a rumor. You don’t know. When I went back yesterday, the old man trained me like a dog. He said I was incompetent and enrolled me in three cram schools at once!
Speaking of Cao Yu, when Yan Yueming first met, he thought he was dressed up like a noble prince, but now he is a simple grass carp prince.
He comforted the grass carp prince and agreed that they could help each other in their studies in the future and create a good story.
Unexpectedly, the next day, Yan Yueming would also be reprimanded by Li Zheng.
In the same living room, Li Zheng was still sitting drinking coffee, and Yan Yueming was carrying a backpack. The histories were surprisingly similar. Li Zheng looked at the dark circles under his eyes and asked, "Did you stay up late?"
Yan Yueming nodded, not daring to speak.
Li Zheng: "You have me to teach you, but you still need to stay up late?"
Although Yan Yueming couldn't get the point of his anger for a while, he had already mastered the skill of "observing words and emotions" without any teacher, and his head shook like a rattle.
Li Zheng: "Raise your head."
Yan Yueming raised his head.
Li Zheng glanced at it, then moved away in disgust, "You have four classes today."
Yan Yueming, who had taken four major classes, vowed never to stay up late again.
Senior Li is wise and wise, and he is extremely smart. With his guidance, why do you need to stay up late? Doesn't that question his teaching level? He, Yan Yueming, would never do such a thing to discredit him.
On the third day of school, Yan Yueming got up at eight o'clock as usual and listened to "Gas Phase Forecast" while eating breakfast. Today's "Gas Phase Forecast" is still the same, full of rules, this can't be done, and that can't be done.
When he was about to finish breakfast, Yan Yueming suddenly received a text message.
166XXXXXXXX
【Location】Come here.
What kind of scam text message dared to deceive me, Xiao Ming, and even asked me to click on the link. Yan Yueming realized that things were different now. He had been taught by Senior Li for two days and it was time for him to have his own style. He must not be easily fooled by fraudulent text messages.
Besides, in this weird world, everyone is so aware of fraud prevention, how could they be fooled like this?
Yan Yueming blocked it directly.
At 8:45, Yan Yueming arrived at No. 111 Huayuan Road a quarter of an hour early as usual. Que Ge, who opened the door for him, was surprised when he saw him, "Huh? Junior brother, why are you here?"
Yan Yueming was confused, "Aren't you here for class? It didn't rain today."
Que Ge: "But Senior Li has already gone out. Didn't you receive his text message?"
Yan Yueming scratched his head, "Text message? What...a message?!"
Que Ge blinked.
Yan Yueming also blinked.
Help.
Half an hour later, Yan Yueming hurriedly got out of the taxi and ran away. He didn't even have the intention to care about where he ended up, he just rushed in anyway.
Of course, he still saw it. After all, those big characters with flying phoenixes at the gate are really hard not to pay attention to——
Upper City Funeral Home.
There were pine and cypress trees everywhere in the funeral home. Several buses were parked in the parking lot at the entrance. People wearing sackcloth and mourning were attending the funeral. From a distance, the sound of crying reached Yan Yueming's ears.
He then slowed down, not wanting to bump into the other party, and deliberately bypassed them, quietly going down the corridor.
Where is the senior?
Yan Yueming grabbed the strap of her backpack, stood on tiptoe and looked around, but saw no one. The senior won't leave, right? He was a little anxious. After he just heard his senior say that the number starting with 166 was his senior, he hurriedly pulled the senior from the blacklist, but he didn't dare to reply, for fear that the blacklisting would be revealed.
At this moment, he took out his mobile phone again and looked at the number that had been blocked and released again, feeling very desperate.
How can I avoid exposing my flaws?
Yan Yueming thought hard, but couldn't think of any good solution. After all, he was really not good at lying. At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind, startling him.
"Classmate, what are you doing here?"
Yan Yueming turned around and saw a young man wearing an orange-red uniform of the Bureau of Gas and Astrology standing behind him, holding a bottle of ice-cold mineral water in his hand. He wore his hat crookedly, but he looked very decent. Thick eyebrows, big eyes, and majestic appearance.
"I'm looking for someone." Yan Yueming replied softly.
"This is a funeral parlor, and you don't want to come here to look for someone." The man couldn't help but look at him a few more times, and couldn't help but warn: "Did you listen to the gas phase forecast? The road here in Beicheng was closed in the afternoon, and the road conditions are different. It's not good. Take a taxi again. Did you come alone? Do you have any companions? Who are you here to see? "
The other party asked several questions at once, but Yan Yueming didn't feel offended. After all, this was a person wearing an orange-red uniform. This is the most trustworthy group of people in the city above.
He answered in detail, but just as he started, another familiar voice appeared, "Yan Fei, are you checking your household registration?"
Yan Yueming's eyes brightened slightly, and she immediately followed the voice, "Senior!"
The man also turned around and saw Li Zheng walking over, raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you understand this is called a routine inquiry - oh, I understand, this is the student you accepted two days ago? "
Yan Yueming suddenly realized that they knew each other. But then I thought about it, the teacher was retired from the search and rescue department, so it was unusual for the two parties not to know each other.
"Come here." Li Zheng didn't look at Yan Fei, but glanced at Yan Yueming. Yan Yueming immediately ran past Yan Fei and ran behind him, and called "Senior" obediently.
Yan Fei saw it and said softly, "Come on, I'll give it back to you, junior. I don't eat people."
Li Zheng's face was indifferent, "Aren't you busy?"
Yan Fei was annoyed, "I'm not as busy as you, Boss Li."
After finishing speaking, a cry of "Captain Yan, Captain Yan" came from the front. Yan Fei responded, put his hat straight, turned around and left. But after taking a step forward, he remembered something again and turned around to say hello to Yan Yueming.
"Goodbye, junior, let's talk next time when we have time!"
"Goodbye." Yan Yueming stuck his head out and waved to him. Yan Fei then left, and before leaving, he glanced at Li Zheng provocatively, wondering what the quarrel was about.
Li Zheng glanced back at Yan Yueming, who immediately stood up straight again.
I feel good now.
Li Zheng looked at him, "Blocked?"
Yan Yueming shook his head, then nodded bravely, "I can explain, senior, I..."
Li Zheng hit the nail on the head, "You think I'm a swindler."
Yan Yueming quickly shut up. He deeply felt that all the sins would be exposed in front of Senior Li, so he had better shut up, bow his head, admit his mistakes, and be a good person.
But why didn’t the senior say anything?
Yan Yueming waited for a while, and finally couldn't help but quietly raised her eyes to look at him. Unexpectedly, she was caught right when she raised her eyes. Their eyes met, and Yan Yueming didn't know whether he should cry or laugh.
Li Zheng: "Okay, come with me."
Yan Yueming breathed a sigh of relief, "Where are we going?"
Li Zheng didn't reply, so Yan Yueming had no choice but to follow him. Not long after, they came to an incinerator in the innermost part of the funeral home, with the number 8 written on it.
In front of Gate No. 8, there were many people in orange-red uniforms, including Yan Fei just now.
The two did not get close, but looked at each other from a distance. Li Zheng wore sunglasses today, with one hand in his pocket, and his long suit jacket was still exquisite and fashionable, but now it seemed a little more solemn.
There is a very clever design on the collar of this dress, which is a small white flower sewn with silk thread.
"You will see me in Puxiazi Lane that day. It was a search and rescue operation by the Qi Phase Bureau." After a while, he suddenly said.
