Chapter 2 The King's Back Garden 04
After spending a whole day in the full-time secretary training class, I was able to barely figure out the class's daily course schedule by the time school was over.
Duanmu Jichu still had some conscience and found a girl to explain the course schedule to me. Otherwise, I would probably never understand what was written in that all-English course schedule.
"In the morning, we have math class. In three hours, we have to finish a week's worth of lessons for a normal class. There is a lunch break at noon, but no one takes a lunch break here. Everyone is busy with their own things. In the afternoon, it is best to preview the textbook before the physics class. The teacher does not give lectures, but directly gives exams..."
The girl who explained to me was called Bai Yuanyuan. She had a very cute face, big round eyes, a small nose and mouth, a petite figure, long hair with slight natural curls, and a uniform that was one size smaller. She was simply a LOLI version of a junior high school student and didn't look like a high school student at all. She was also the only one who didn't laugh at me.
If I remember correctly, there were at least four computer hosts next to her desk, some of which were connected to two or three computer screens. She sat at the back and no one would notice her presence. No wonder I didn't notice her after coming in for so long.
"Wait a minute, the teacher didn't give a lecture, but went straight to the exam? Are you kidding me?" I was surprised that a week's worth of math lessons took only three hours, but I didn't expect the physics class to be even more outrageous. I couldn't help but interrupt Bai Yuanyuan and asked her with a bitter face, "What do you need a teacher for if they don't give lectures?"
"After the exam, the teacher will provide special tutoring and explain the exercises to each student based on their different situations, but... basically no one gets special tutoring because everyone is smart. I am the only one who has received tutoring here..."
Bai Yuanyuan's voice was just like her, thin and small, very cute. As she spoke, she lowered her head in frustration. I couldn't help but ask curiously, "Did you do poorly on the test? How many points did you get?"
"48 points..." Bai Yuanyuan blushed, as if she had said something embarrassing. "The full score was 50, and I filled in one multiple-choice question incorrectly."
I only… I only got one multiple-choice question wrong, and I was only two points away from a perfect score. I was already the worst score in the class! Then I… I couldn’t even get 48 out of a full score of 100. Would I piss the teacher off to death?
I swallowed, forced a smile, glanced at the schedule, and asked, "Hey, I don't think I heard there is an English class. When is it?"
“There are no English classes because English is the foundation and everyone is self-taught.”
Oh my god, what kind of monster class is this!
When I heard this, I felt a black screen before my eyes and I fainted in shame.
…
After school in the afternoon, I lay on the table alone, powerless. I only had two classes today, and the rest of the time was for self-study and free activities, but I felt like two years had passed, because I couldn't understand what the teacher was saying, and I couldn't understand what my classmates were saying either...
Woohoo, is this an alien planet? And I am just a poor wretch from the planet that "can't understand".
"Nian Gao, please bear with me for a while. I know you are not used to this class for the first time." Bai Yuanyuan cleaned up her desk, turned off her computer, and walked in front of me. Her cute little face wrinkled into a ball, and she said to me with concern, "I was also in pain when I first came here, so I understand how you feel now."
Although the topic of conversation between the two of us the whole morning was limited to the class schedule, I really liked this girl with a cute name and a cute face, so I raised my head and forced a smile at her: "Do you feel pain too?"
How is it possible? Although she looks small, she becomes a different person when sitting in front of the computer. She looks so powerful. How could such a powerful person feel pain?
"Actually, my dream is to be a fashion designer. I like to design beautiful clothes for everyone, and I hope everyone will like the clothes I design." Bai Yuanyuan moved a stool and sat next to me, with a hint of loneliness in her dark round eyes. "I don't like sitting in front of the computer all day and programming those boring programs. I don't like it at all."
"You want to be a fashion designer?" I sat up straight with curiosity, looked at Bai Yuanyuan, and couldn't help asking, "Then why were you chosen to come to this class?"
"Because I felt that the school security guards were working so hard, I made an automatic identification system for them. My father is a computer engineer at the AURORA Group. Maybe I inherited his genes, but I have been very sensitive to computer programs since I was a child. When I was 6 years old, I could make game programs by myself, so I was recommended ." Bai Yuanyuan said, looking up at me and smiling bitterly, "Actually, I want to spend my high school years in this school like an ordinary student, and then go to university to become a fashion designer..."
"Hmph, Duanmu Jichu is simply a tyrant. Does he think he is a king? Ignoring your dreams and forcing you to stay in this class is simply too much!" Bai Yuanyuan's words and her pitiful expression successfully aroused the "big sister cells" in me that like to stand up for the weak. I yelled and slammed the table.
Bai Yuanyuan immediately showed a horrified expression and waved her hands vigorously at me: "Don't say that about Master Ji Chu. You know, many municipal construction projects in Yuhua City are sponsored by the AURORA Group, so even the mayor has to give Master Ji Chu some respect. The reason I tell you this is to remind you not to go against Master Ji Chu, otherwise, not only will you not be able to stay in this school, but even your family may not be able to gain a foothold in this city!"
Even the mayor has to give in to that bastard Duanmu Jichu?
It can’t be that exaggerated, right?
I was stunned. As expected, I should stay away from this kind of person. Yes, that's right. He is like an ancient emperor in this school and this city. Living with an emperor is like living with a tiger. The farther away from him, the safer.
I must find a way to leave this class. But how can I leave? I was chosen by him, and I can't openly oppose him, otherwise my mother's snack stand will definitely not be able to continue.
Accept everything? No, no, no, this is not the character of me, the gangster Wang Yeye!
Ahhh, what should I do? What should I do to return to the normal class?
If I could go back in time and go back to that night, I would never pour that box of rice cakes into his shoes... No, I shouldn't have walked into the alley where I met him.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but think of the sleeping Duanmu Jichu that I saw in the alley that night. He had a pitiful and lonely expression like a little animal...
Duanmu Jichu, why did he... suffer from drowsiness? That day, he hugged me tightly and refused to let go. Was that expression because of a dream?
what is it then?
"Nian Gao, Nian Gao! What's wrong with you?" Seeing that I didn't say anything, Bai Yuanyuan raised her little hand and waved in front of me.
I came back to my senses abruptly and smiled foolishly at Bai Yuanyuan: "Ah...it's okay, it's okay. Actually, my name is Ye Ye, not Nian Gao. The name Nian Gao was forced on me by Duanmu Jichu just to tease me."
How could I care about what that bastard dreamed about at this time? I was crazy, yes, I must be crazy, tortured by that bastard!
"Are you forcing yourself to stay in this class because you're afraid that your dad will lose his job?" I calmed down and asked Bai Yuanyuan.
It's rare to meet someone in the same situation as me in such a monster class, and I couldn't help but develop a kind of revolutionary feeling of sympathy towards her.
"Yeah." Bai Yuanyuan nodded, tears welling up in her eyes, and lowered her head with a very sad expression, "In fact, Master Jichu himself didn't say anything, and he didn't threaten anyone, but... Master Jimo threatened me. He said that if I didn't obey, he would kill Youyou."
Kill Yoyo?
Who is Youyou? Is she Bai Yuanyuan's family member?
The two brothers of Duanmu family are too arrogant. They even dare to threaten people. This is against the law. Don’t they know?
"We are in a society ruled by law now. Don't worry, he won't dare to do anything wrong. I will definitely help you."
Since we are revolutionary comrades, we should help each other. As the leader of the gangsters, I understand this principle very well. So I grabbed Bai Yuanyuan's hand to comfort her and asked, "Where is Youyou now?"
"At Young Master Ji Mo's house." Bai Yuanyuan sniffed and her eyes turned red.
At Duanmu’s house?
"Have you been kidnapped?" I was so shocked that I almost jumped up from the stool.
In order to threaten students to work for them, they even kidnapped their families. This is really a lawless world. Is this really Earth? Or have I been kidnapped by aliens by accident? Is this actually an alien planet?
“No, no, Nian Gao…” Bai Yuanyuan heard my excited scream and waved her hands hurriedly, “No, Ye Ye, Youyou was not kidnapped. It was originally the dog raised by Master Ji Mo. It was snow-white and very cute. I saw it once and I liked it so much…”
Uh...dog?
After listening to Bai Yuanyuan's narration, my heart instantly fell to the ground, and a row of black lines appeared on my forehead. Dog... There are actually people in the world who would use the excuse of killing their own dogs to threaten others... And the most outrageous thing is that there are actually people who are threatened by this excuse...
My dad's job is not as important as someone else's dog...
Facing Bai Yuanyuan, whose love was obviously overflowing to an abnormal level, I felt a little amused and helpless.
Alas, the earth is too dangerous, I'd better go back to my "incomprehensible" planet.
