Gu Xiaoshi had insomnia.

His insomnia was not because Aso was sleeping too much, but because of himself. Aso went to bed late last night, and fell asleep as soon as he got to bed, occasionally making a slight snoring sound, but it never disturbed the rest of others. Gu Xiaoshi couldn't sleep in bed for a long time, he opened the curtain on his side a little, a bright moon outside the window, the shadow of the mountains in the distance, whether the moon in a foreign country was round or not, Gu Xiaoshi didn't know, he remembered his hometown, remembered his mother and sister, remembered the fat man and Zhao Chuqing, this was the first time, he was alone away from home, from childhood to adulthood, in eighteen years, he never left home, but now he is lying on a bed in a foreign country...... The fate is really wonderful, unpredictable, Gu Xiaoshi tossed and turned, as if in another world.

I don't know when I fell asleep, Gu Xiaoshi opened his eyes, and the morning glow outside the window was already thousands of years, reflecting on the calm lake, red and red. I got up and freshened up, went downstairs for a while, went straight to the restaurant, finished breakfast, returned to the dormitory, and woke up Aso. Aso got up and looked at the time, it was almost eight o'clock, and he panicked, quickly changed his clothes and rushed out of the bedroom. Before leaving, he said hello to Gu Xiaoshi, saying that he would go to the school gate to wait for the bus after breakfast, and then go directly to Zurich to get his wallet.

The morning meeting of freshmen was at ten o'clock, Gu Xiaoshi was already familiar with half of the academy yesterday, and knew the specific location of the lecture hall, all the way from the dormitory, at most fifteen minutes, but he still went out five minutes early, and he was late for the first open class, which was absolutely not allowed to happen.

The air in the morning is particularly good, Gu Xiaoshi has chosen a trail, which will be two minutes longer than the straight road, wandering in the secluded forest, unknown birds chirping in the trees, making people feel refreshed and happy, and the spirit of the day will be better.

Halfway through the path, the outline of the lecture hall had appeared in front of him, Gu Xiaoshi quickened his pace, and just as he passed a row of benches, he suddenly heard a voice, very faint, as if it was moaning, if it wasn't for no one here, it would be really difficult to notice. Gu Xiaoshi was sure that he heard correctly, walked to the bench, and suddenly saw a person crawling in the grass behind the chair, and the moaning sound was made by this person, and it was still continuing.

Gu Xiaoshi approached the man, and a foul smell came to his nose, accompanied by a strong smell of alcohol, which was indescribably disgusting. Drunk? Student or staff member of the academy? Drunk early in the morning? Gu Xiaoshi pinched his nose and patted the man with his hand, and the man's body writhed with difficulty, as if he was struggling. Don't let anything happen! Gu Xiaoshi couldn't care about that much, let go of the hand pinching his nose, and flipped the man over, the scene was even more disgusting. I saw that the man had gray hair, a withered face, and wore a pair of old-fashioned black, round-rimmed glasses, his eyes were closed, and he was muttering. He looked very old, pale, with wrinkles on his neck and hands, a Westerner's appearance, a suit of overalls, greasy stains everywhere, an empty wine bottle in his right hand, which seemed to have drunk too much, vomited all over the grass, and even had a large patch on his chest, and white spit on the corners of his mouth.

What should I do? Should I go to the classroom first, and then call someone to rescue him? Or should I send him to the infirmary first, and then go to class? This is not a difficult choice, but today's situation is special, Gu Xiaoshi does not know where the infirmary is, and there is no one to ask, if he sends him there himself, there is a great possibility that he will be late, and he will be late for the first day of class, which will leave a bad impression on the teacher and classmates.

If you're late, be late, it's important to save people, Gu Xiaoshi decided. He didn't care about the stench, and he wasn't afraid that his clothes would be stained, so he stepped forward to help the old man, shook it, and tried to wake him up, this old man was dressed in overalls, it seemed that he was a staff member of the academy, and he must know how to get to the infirmary. The strength in his hand increased, and he kept calling in his mouth: "Uncle, wake up, wake up, wake up, how to go to the infirmary?"

After about half a minute, the old man finally opened his eyes, only to see that his eyes were cloudy, his eyes were blank, as if he was about to fall asleep, Gu Xiaoshi saw this, and shouted loudly: "Uncle, infirmary, infirmary!"

The old man had some reactions, and it took a lot of effort before he pointed with his finger, and the direction was actually reversed, which was the way Gu Xiaoshi came. Gu Xiaoshi helped him, but he didn't dare to walk too fast, for fear that the old man would not be able to carry it, so he easily approached the dormitory building, only to see that the old man pointed to a fork in the road, which should be the road leading to the student activity area.

Gu Xiaoshi's heart became cooler and colder the more he walked, and the distance between him and the lecture hall became farther and farther, hurry up, uncle, you said that you are a dead old man, what are you doing with so much drinking? If you are not careful, you will hang up if you can't get up in one breath.

After Lake No. 4, Lake No. 2 has appeared in front of Gu Xiaoshi's eyes, and it is a fork in the road, go straight to the basketball and tennis halls, and turn right to lead to the central square. Gu Xiaoshi shook the old man awake, and the old man's hand pointed to the right turn......

Gu Xiaoshi hurriedly helped him to continue walking, there was nothing in the central square, could it be that the infirmary was on the side of the college gate? When he walked to the central square, this time the old man showed the way by himself, and went straight, the senior teaching building and the staff dormitory area? Isn't this going around in circles? Yesterday, I walked through that area, and I didn't see any bullshit infirmary!

Gu Xiaoshi shook the old man awake again, and called, "Uncle, are you mistaken? There is no infirmary over there!" The old man didn't seem to have the strength to speak, and raised his hand to continue pointing over there......

Gu Xiaoshi thought he was unlucky, he had to be late for this early in the morning, but what could he do, could he really see death and not save him?

It was too late, Gu Xiaoshi carried the old man on his back and ran forward, this time much faster. After running for a while, there was already a senior teaching building in front of him, Gu Xiaoshi heard the old man on his back "hum" twice, and turned his head to look, the old man pointed to a building in the distance, between the staff dormitory building and the scientific research building.

Gu Xiaoshi came here yesterday, I don't know what the building is for, there is no sign in front of the door, and the gate is closed. But since the old man pointed there, he still went over to take a look, and Gu Xiaoshi stepped under his feet and rushed over. Today, the door of this building is open, the hall is lit, after walking in, I saw a big red cross on the wall, damn, I didn't pay attention to it yesterday, but the problem is, the place where I found the old man is here, if you take the passage in front of the lecture hall, it will be much closer, this old man pointed out a way to himself, and went around a big circle. Gu Xiaoshi didn't care about the doubts in his heart, and as soon as he entered the hall, he shouted loudly: "Is there anyone, help!

A foreign man in a white coat rushed out of the office next to him, about thirty years old, seeing Gu Xiaoshi carrying a person on his back, he didn't speak, he returned to the office directly, and pushed a cart out. Gu Xiaoshi hurriedly ran over, and with the help of the foreigner, put the old man on his back on the cart, and then said: "I found him in the grass, he should have drunk too much, and his mind is a little unconscious, I still have to rush to class, so I will leave it to you!" After speaking, without waiting for the man to answer, he ran out directly.

It was already past ten o'clock, and it was inevitable to be late, Gu Xiaoshi first found a bathroom, took off his T-shirt, rubbed the stains on his clothes with water, and rinsed it again, then put on his clothes and ran to the lecture hall.

Let's advance the time a minute earlier, just after Gu Xiaoshi rushed out of the door of the infirmary, the old man turned over from the cart and sat up, his body was still messy, but there was still a trace of turbidity in his eyes, replaced by a blazing gaze, looking at Gu Xiaoshi's distant back, the corners of his mouth raised a trace of arc.

"Vice Dean Clarence, who are you?" the foreigner in the white coat wondered.

"It's nothing, you keep working, I'm leaving. The old man walked out of the door of the infirmary by himself, muttering, "It's a good boy...... leaving his bewildered white coat in a daze.

The old man was none other than John Clarence, the vice-president of Augustus College, in charge of the research and development department, the president's best friend and one of the pillars of the college. He deliberately waited for Gu Xiaoshi there today, in order to test this child's heart, how to choose between rescuing a stranger and being late for the first day of class.

Old John was so pleased with the result that he could not remember how long it had been since he had been so happy.

Compassion, the most basic and most moral code that human beings should have, is also the most scarce in this flashy world, this is human nature, the most primitive and kindest side of human nature, Gu Xiaoshi proved this with his practical actions.

Of course, Gu Xiaoshi didn't know that he had been "calculated", when he rushed to the lecture hall, he found that there was a gate on the left and right sides of the place, separated by more than 20 meters, all of which were closed, he hesitated, which way to enter?

Whatever, whatever, it's already late anyway, and his face has already been lost, so he still cares where he enters? Gu Xiaoshi came to the door on the left and pushed the door open with his hand.

The gate is very heavy, the workmanship is very good, and there is no sound at all, Gu Xiaoshixin said: "Fortunately, it won't move too much." So he walked in, and in an instant he was petrified......

This is a large lecture hall, the left and right doors are just on both sides of the podium, the entrance door is facing a row of seats, in front of those seats there are special desks for writing, the whole seating area is divided into five plates, the middle plate seats are very long, at least more than thirty, on both sides of the passage is the passage, and then there are two plates, these two plates have fewer seats than in the middle, after the passage there are two plates, the two plates on the side, there are fewer seats, the whole classroom is fan-shaped, diverging upwards, there are dozens of rows, even if the whole school can sit down together。

The classroom was silent, almost all the students were sitting in the central area closest to the podium and on both sides, about a few hundred people, just facing the door, Gu Xiaoshi had just entered the door, everyone looked at him in unison......

In order to avoid the stench on his body from disturbing his classmates, Gu Xiaoshi's clothes had just been washed with water, the stains were washed off, and the smell was almost none, but the clothes were all wet, and he was standing at the door, soaking wet, and his T-shirt was still dripping......

Then Gu Xiaoshi heard a voice from the podium: "This classmate, did you fall into the lake and just climbed up, or were you going to perform a 'wet temptation' for everyone in the first class?"
