The three of them stood outside the Jiuying Hotel. The neon flickered and reflected on the face, and it was clear and extinguished. Su Mingyan pushed open the glass door of the hotel. There's no scrolling LED screen, no warm reception, and it doesn't even feel like a hotel. It's like an ordinary house. There is a large locust tree planted in the yard, the bark is wrinkled and horizontal, the fallen leaves are scattered all over the ground, and the years have carved a merciless scar on its body.

"I'll check it out first." Su Mingyan said.

Cha Cha stood in the middle of the fallen leaves, always holding Ah Xue's hand, sweat soaking out of the palm, revealing a trace of cold and slippery. The baby's cry came from the building, and Cha Cha only felt upset and irritable. Ah Xue was attracted by crying, love swelled up in her heart, and she unconsciously walked inside.

"Don't move." Su Mingyan said, "There is the body of the Nine Babies living here. ”

"Isn't it a hotel?" Cha Cha asked.

Ah Xue suddenly understood, and explained, "The Nine Babies are ancient fierce beasts, with a snake head and a bull body and a dragon tail, and nine snake-shaped heads that can breathe fire and spit water, and the voice is like a baby's cry. ”

"So we can't get out without killing it?" Cha Cha tried to summon the black dragon to defend himself, but without surprise, the black dragon did not move.

"Strange, no malice." Su Mingyan said, "Let's go in and have a look." ”

Su Mingyan walked in front and stepped on the steps of the second floor, and Ah Xue followed him closely. Cha Cha was stunned, and several lightning bolts struck out of thin air, and a phantom appeared in the air. Cha Cha let go of the hand holding Ah Xue.

In the shadows, there is a familiar dining table, and a purple box is placed on the old tabletop. On the box is a yellowed photograph. One man and two women, the young man on the left has a big black mole on his chin, the young lady in white in the middle has a blue hairpin pinned to the bangs, and the girl on the far right is wearing a black suit, looking super cool.

Cha Cha's eyes widened. The photo shows her companion from the orphanage.

Place your hands over the box and gently open it. A mist rose from the box, and the space around it was torn apart by purple electric light. The walls shifted, the gilded paint fell, the gray bricks sprouted from the ground, many sets of tables and chairs danced in the room, the blue sky bloomed overhead, the fallen leaves in the yard flew back to the trees, and the pale yellow swings hung down from the branches of the locust trees.

Cha Cha walked towards the swing. There sat a girl in a pink dress, her slender legs swinging in the air and smiling sweetly; "Are you new here? Don't worry, the teachers are super nice. ”

"Teacher?"

"That's right. Today is Teacher Lu who teaches us a lesson. He's welcome. Funny, humorous, and good-looking. And know everything. I even know I can't smell fish. The little girl got off the swing and said, "By the way, I'll take you to the classroom." My name is Fu Di, what's your name? ”

"My name is Cha Cha." Cha Cha followed Fu Di and suddenly felt that her figure was a little shorter. When I got closer, I found that Fu Di had many small dots on her skin, and if you looked closely, her lymph was also a little swollen. "Is Fu Di allergic to fishy smells?"

"That's right." The girl said indifferently, "Teacher Lu also warned our class Zhao Di to stop playing pranks and putting the little fish in my bowl." Teacher Lu said that severe allergies can cause death. ”

Cha Cha followed Fu Di through a field of rape flowers, the bright yellow flowers hung with morning dew, the breeze blowing, rolling up layers of waves, and a faint fragrance was permeated everywhere. There was a little guy with a ponytail, holding two jelly shells in his hands, which were lightly buckled together, and the translucent shell had an extra buzzing bee.

The little one handed the bee to Cha Cha. Cha Cha didn't pick it up, but Fu Di happily held the jelly shell and let the bees fly.

The trio walked along the path, wildflowers swaying in the wind on both sides. More friends appear in the field of vision. Cha Cha noticed that most of these children were girls. The older one is a teenager, the younger one, Cha Cha's heart sank, the baby in swaddling clothes was bruised, if it weren't for the fact that his eyes were still dripping and turning, Cha Cha even felt that the child had suffocated to death.

Fu Di took Xue to a tower, "Well, it's the school." ”

The building known as the school is a tower. The six-storey tower is made of gray stone bricks and tiles, with a drum-shaped roof, and small windows in the shape of a half-moon open on all sides of the tower, which looks like a huge pigeon cage from a distance. Outside the pigeon cage, a young lady in white is playing games with a group of children. On her golden hair, she wears a blue hairpin.

"Luo Yu?" Cha Cha shouted.

"Hey, Chacha, do you know Teacher Luo Yu?" Fu Di looked at Cha Cha curiously. The young lady in white here also turned her head and noticed the woman beside Fu Di, her eyes were surprised, "You...... New here. It's not big or small, I want to call Teacher Luo Yu. ”

"Hello Teacher Luo Yu." Cha Cha grimaced, "I can't see it, you're quite like that." ”

Luo Yu sneered, turned to a girl who looked to be in her teens and had a double ponytail; "Yandi, you take everyone to play first."

Luo Yu entered the tower with Cha Cha, "They are all dead. But they can't get out. ”

"What about you, won't you ...... too?" Cha Cha asked.

"Xia Ning and Lu Cheng are here." Luo Yu didn't answer Cha Cha's question, and continued, "There are more and more of these children, even if we are 404, some of us are understaffed. Would you like to help? ”

"Help? Be a teacher? I have a bad temper and don't like children very much. ”

"You're going to like them." Luo Yu said, a subtle haze flashing in his eyes.

Cha Cha pursed her lips and acquiesced to Luo Yu's request. It seems that since she was a child, she has not been able to refute this beautiful young lady. Stepping on the decaying wooden floor, Cha Cha followed Luo Yu into the classroom. "Today's physics class will be taught to you by the new teacher Cha Cha."

After Luo Yu went out, the unprepared Cha Cha faced a bunch of rebellious minors with missing arms and legs with a bitter face, and almost had a social panic attack. Their mouths don't seem to stop, and they ask all sorts of strange questions. The rancid smell of sulfide wafted from the window, and Cha Cha felt like her head was big. Finally stayed up until the bell rang for the end of class, and Cha Cha ran to the toilet like a desperate escape.

Then I saw her miserable soul for the first time in the mirror of the toilet. Cha Cha was so shocked that she couldn't speak. Oniichi's description is really too light. It's no wonder that Su Mingyan has to run every time he sees her.

Wait, what about Su Mingyan and the others?

"Why are you ......" Lu Cheng stood by the toilet door and saw Cha Cha who was washing his face. Seeing her turn around, she hurriedly changed her words, "Teacher Cha Cha is still used to it." ”

"Hello Mr. Lu Cheng." Cha Cha stared at the black mole on Lu Cheng's face, and barely squeezed out a smile, "These little rabbit cubs are too difficult." I really can't do it. ”

"Take your time. You're going to love them. Lu Cheng smiled, "I'll go to the next class, you come and visit." ”

"Okay." Cha Cha followed Lu Cheng back to the classroom. Looking at Lu Cheng, who was talking gracefully and eloquently on the podium, it seemed that he had returned to his childhood. These half-grown children are really studious. Their eyes seemed to have fallen into the stars, and they looked eagerly at the podium every minute and every second. At the end of class, there were people who followed Lu Cheng's example to solve other children's doubts.

After a few days like this, Cha Cha seemed to have mastered the essentials of the lecture. Xia Ning was wearing a black suit and handed her half a piece of fragrant bread in a chic manner. Mathematics, physics, chemistry, because of the scarcity of teachers, Cha Cha took over the teaching of these three subjects. Every day, I prepare for class until midnight, and my body seems to be a little overwhelmed. Shaking his head and biting on the bread, the feeling of dizziness is better.

In the second week of class, Cha Cha flipped through a letter in her bag. The pink envelope is beautifully written. Most of it was written by Lu Cheng. This guy is secretly watching her every time he eats. It can't be a love letter, right? Cha Cha snickered and opened the envelope, frowning.

In front of the rambling is Lu Cheng's experience from birth to the present, what was abandoned by his biological parents, it was easy to stay in an orphanage until he was adopted, but his adoptive parents had a car accident again, and he did shady things in a private clinic every day, and he had to go to the bar to sing at night, and then inexplicably turned to Happy Birthday.

But that date was obviously not Cha Cha's own birthday. The words Happy Birthday in that row were inexplicably crossed out again. Below the crossed out handwriting, another date appears Happy Birthday.

Then the handwriting disappears. A line of small print appears on the letterhead.

"Take the measuring stick in the basement." Su Mingyan's handwriting, Cha Cha suddenly woke up from a nightmare.
