"Cao Ruochen's mobile phone number is 1376434546X." Principal Zhao read the number on the form.

After dialing the number, Guo Jia greeted politely: "Sorry to trouble you, Principal Zhao."

"It doesn't matter, I have nothing to do today anyway." Principal Zhao said gentlemanly.

"Move after time, time after time, time after time, another year. Spring has arrived, and every household celebrates the New Year happily... The subscriber you dialed is busy. Please call again later. The subscriber you dialed is busy now,please redial later.”

"Oh, ahem, why are you disappearing? Could it be that Cao Chen also went to the School of International Exchange? Also, this ringtone is too weird." Guo Jia said out of control.

At this moment, Guo Jia's cell phone suddenly sounded a text message alert. Guo Jia opened it and saw that it was a message from Cao Ruochen's number: "Who are you? You dialed the wrong number."

Guo Jia quickly replied: I am Guo Jia, and I am still alive.

Five seconds later, Cao Ruochen called:

"Guo Jia!?"

"It's me. Long time no see. Where are you now?"

"Damn it, why is your voice so thick, but I can tell it's you. Where have you been these past few years? Brother, I shed a few tears for you during the National Day of Mourning."

"Only a few drops!? Forget it, if you can shed a few drops, you have not lost your humanity."

"The way you talk...it's really you!"

"Where are you now?"

"I'm in country E. I didn't do well in the college entrance examination, so I have to go abroad to study. I didn't answer your call just now because I was afraid that my phone bill would be charged."

"Uh-huh!"

"Don't make any noise."

"Huh? Why did I hear a woman's voice? Are you in GHS?"

"No, no, I was riding the subway, and there were children screaming."

"By the way, you haven't said where you have been in the past few years. Why don't you contact us if you are fine?"

"It's a long story. I feel like I could talk for half an hour."

"Excuse me, take my leave."

"What's your WeChat ID? I'll let you know the details via WeChat when I'm free."

"Just search for your mobile phone number."

"Then I won't waste your money. See you later."

"See you later."

Guo Jia sighed regretfully.

"You also have a roommate named Xu Chao. Is he the next person you are looking for?" Principal Zhao asked.

"Yes." Guo Jia nodded.

"His mobile phone number is 1357277964x." Principal Zhao said word by word.

"Well, okay, thank you, Principal Zhao." Guo Jia took the trouble to return the greeting.

"I congratulate you on getting rich! I congratulate you on being wonderful! Please come here if you are the best, and please go away if you are not good. Don't blame me for being polite. Who! I don't buy insurance, buy a house, or get a loan." Xu Chao said impatiently The voice came from the other end of the phone.

"We haven't seen each other for so many years, but you still speak so arrogantly, Xu Feng." Guo Jia said with emotion.

"Who are you?" Xu Chao asked in surprise.

"I'm Guo Jia." Guo Jia replied.

"Guo Jia? Aren't you gone?" Xu Chao said in disbelief.

"No shit, I just disappeared. Where are you now? Are you still in Nanwan City? Let's get together. I remember that your pig farm is located on the outskirts of Nanwan City." Guo Jia said impatiently.

"Ah? I'm in Xishan City." Xu Chao said lazily.

"Huh? You went to Xishan to go to college? Is that far away?" Guo Jialian asked.

"Hey~ Pork is hard to sell now. My dad sold the pig farm. We now raise cows and dairy cows. I am now a happy milker." Xu Chao said seriously.

"Damn it, you're so naughty! Ahem, let's add a WeChat account, and we'll get together when you return to Nanwan City one day." Guo Jia said disappointedly.

"If you don't go, the house will be sold." Xu Chao said disdainfully.

"It's harmful, let's talk about it later." Guo Jia sighed.

"We'll talk about it later." After Xu Chao finished speaking, he hung up the phone ruthlessly.

"Do you have any other friends you are looking for?" Principal Zhao asked.

"It should be gone..." Guo Jia said hesitantly, "Oh no, do you have Chaisen's contact information? He should be in Class A."

Principal Zhao suddenly showed an elusive smile. At this time, Chaisen's information was already displayed on his computer desktop. He pretended to move the mouse for a while before giving an answer: "Classmate Chaisen's situation is a bit special. You You probably won’t be able to contact him using your mobile phone, but he is in Nanwan City and I can send someone to take you there.”

"Ah? What happened to him? What happened?" Guo Jia asked three questions in succession.

"You'll know when you get there, just wait a moment." Principal Zhao said, picked up the phone on his desk and dialed a series of numbers.

"Hey, Teacher Ouyang, are you in class now?" Principal Zhao asked.

"No, principal, do you have anything to do with me?" Teacher Ouyang asked.

"Do you have classes in the afternoon?" Principal Zhao continued to ask.

"Class B has a music class, the first period in the afternoon." Teacher Ouyang replied.

"Okay, you don't need to attend that class. Come to the principal's office and I'll see you if I need anything." Principal Zhao ordered.

"But principal, Class B hasn't had music class for... two weeks." Teacher Ouyang said with some embarrassment.

"So?" Principal Zhao asked confused.

"I'll be right away." Teacher Ouyang said respectfully.

"Yes." Principal Zhao hung up the phone.

Not long after, a young female teacher with a ponytail lowered her head and walked in timidly. She looked up at the principal and whispered, "Principal Zhao, I'm here."

"Let me introduce you, this is Guo Jia, a student of the 14th class of our school. The one on his shoulder is..." Principal Zhao suddenly didn't know what to say halfway through the introduction.

"It's my sister." Guo Jia explained.

After seeing Guo Jia and Qian, Teacher Ouyang immediately became energetic and introduced himself generously: "Hello, my name is Ouyang Taiping, and I am the music teacher of this school."

"Teacher Ouyang, come here, I have something to tell you." Principal Zhao waved.

Teacher Ouyang suddenly stood there tremblingly like a frightened bird, not daring to move.

"Hey, why are you still having this problem? Come here quickly." Principal Zhao shouted sternly.

"Principal, I'm scared." Teacher Ouyang still didn't dare to move and said with an aggrieved look.

"Tsk, how can I still eat you? How can you be a teacher in the future like this?" Principal Zhao said with a nonchalant expression.

"Principal, why don't you come here? My legs are weak." Teacher Ouyang said pitifully.

What is this operation? Guo Jia was confused.

Principal Zhao had no choice but to stand up and walk to Teacher Ouyang. At this time, Teacher Ouyang almost buried her head in her chest.

Principal Zhao saw Guo Jia's expression was different and quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong, Teacher Ouyang has age phobia. She doesn't dare to talk to people older than herself."

"Oh oh oh." Guo Jia nodded doubtfully.

However, Principal Zhao's next actions made Guo Jia feel that the two were having an affair even more. Principal Zhao actually covered his mouth and whispered to Teacher Ouyang: "Teacher Ouyang, the leader of the Education Bureau has given us a task. You must cooperate with this child's actions. You will drive him to the mental health center on Fengming Road later in my car to find someone. Here is the car key. Huh? Did you hear me?"

At this time, Teacher Ouyang was blushing to the root of his neck, looking like he was losing consciousness.

"Did you hear what I said!" Principal Zhao shouted angrily, unbearably.

"I heard it, I heard it!" Teacher Ouyang said incoherently. She quickly took the key handed over by Principal Zhao and bowed to the principal.

Principal Zhao covered his head with a headache and said to Guo Jia: "Go with Teacher Ouyang, she will send you to Chaisen."

Teacher Ouyang rushed out first, then secretly stretched his head to the door and waved desperately to Guo Jia.

Guo Jia couldn't help laughing and followed him out. When he left the principal's office, Teacher Ouyang instantly became lively and took the initiative to greet Guo Jia: "Classmate, are you kidding? Don't take it to heart what I just said. I have been afraid of people older than me since I was a child, except for my parents, so you are not allowed to laugh at me."

"Go ahead, your personality changes too quickly." Guo Jia said amusedly.

"Hey, I just wanted to get in touch with people younger than me, so I worked hard to get a teacher's certificate, but it made me exhausted. Originally, I wanted to teach kindergarten, but people from the education department insisted that I come. Here, it’s harmful.” Teacher Ouyang muttered.

"I'm not necessarily younger than you." Guo Jia teased.

"Stop talking nonsense. You are a student of the 14th class. You are only 24 or 5 years old. I am 28 this year." Teacher Ouyang said disapprovingly.

Guo Jia pursed her lips and remained noncommittal.

The two came to the school parking lot. Teacher Ouyang started the principal's black Mercedes-Benz and left the school gate. Halfway through the journey, Guo Jia couldn't help but ask: "How long will it take?"

"Half an hour." Teacher Ouyang estimated.

"Huh? Why does it take so long! Are you going to the suburbs?" Guo Jia made a fuss.

"Yes, even if I'm going to the suburbs, I'm not in a hurry. Why are you so anxious?" Teacher Ouyang said angrily.

"Sorry, sorry, please keep driving." Guo Jia said and started playing with his mobile phone.

Half an hour later, the car drove to a white building called the Health Mental Health Center.

Guo Jia looked at the building in front of him and murmured to himself: "Healthy Mental Health Center? What kind of place is this? Why does it look like a hospital?"

"It's a mental hospital, a place for mentally ill patients." Teacher Ouyang explained concisely and concisely.

"Mental hospital!? Why did you bring me to a place like this!" Guo Jia said in shock.

"Why are you yelling so loudly? Principal Zhao asked me to bring you here. Aren't you looking for someone? The person you are looking for should be here." Teacher Ouyang replied.

"Isn't it right? Chaisen works in such a ghost place?" Guo Jia said in disbelief.

"Who is Chaisen? Is he the person you are looking for?" Teacher Ouyang asked curiously.

"Yes, he is my high school classmate and my best friend." Guo Jia replied.

"I think you are too optimistic. Maybe he doesn't work here." Teacher Ouyang said with a crow's mouth.

"What do you mean by that?" Guo Jia thought for a while and then suddenly realized, "Damn it, please stop talking nonsense!"

"I am doing this to prepare you mentally." Teacher Ouyang said forcefully.

"Pfft." Guo Jia was furious on the spot.
