Before the alarm clock rang, I was already up early. When I opened the thick curtains, the morning sun slowly poured in, shining on my body, and I felt extremely warm.
I came to school surprisingly early today, and there was no one in the classroom. I took the book out of my backpack and placed it on my desk.
As the class time approached, the students walked into the classroom one after another.
"Where does the sun rise today? Or haven't I woken up yet? Cui Li sat down next to me.
"East." I replied to him casually.
"Cheng Yin, I ask you a question seriously, and you must answer me honestly." Cui Li's expression suddenly became serious, "Are you Cheng Yin or not?"
Could it be ...... Cui Li: Did he know my true identity? Impossible. I should never have said that I had slipped my mouth...... He was sure he was just joking with me, and I should have kept my composure.
"It's not." I took the opportunity to answer his question and saw his reaction by the way.
"I said, how can you be Cheng Yin? Shouldn't he still be sleeping at this time? Cui Li laughed as he spoke, "I'm not kidding you, why did you come so early today, and there are no exams, it's not like your usual style." ”
"Okay, you Cui Li, did you deliberately count me down?"
"How dare I count you. Even if you don't come to class, you still pass the exam, and I'm not as good as you because of that. Cui Li pretended to sigh and said.
"You're not done. If you have time to count me, you might as well study your poems or something. I changed the topic, and Cui Li, who was still full of words in front of me, was suddenly speechless by me.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet, now the class begins, let's take a roll call first."
“……”
“……”
"Cui Li."
"Here." Cui Li raised his hand very high, as if he was afraid that Professor Wu would not see him.
"Cheng Yin."
"Here."
"Cui Li, I said if you are ...... now," Professor Wu said halfway, looking up just in time to see me, "The sun definitely didn't rise in the east today, but it arrived on time." ”
Professor Wu said the second half of the sentence very lightly.

It's time for the last class of the afternoon. Most of the students left the classroom quickly.
"Let's go, Cheng Yin, let's go to dinner together?" Cui Li said as he tidied up his desk.
"Today, no, I still have something to do. Go eat it yourself. I quickly put the books on the table in my backpack and prepared to leave.
"I just said, today must be different. What's the matter? Cui Li asked tentatively.
"It's nothing, it's just a few good friends having a meal together." I said perfunctorily.
"Good friends? Why didn't you call me? I'm your friend, too. Cui Li pretended to be aggrieved.
"Am I not afraid of influencing you to write poetry? How about the next time you go to evaluate the poems, take my little assistant with you? ”
"Okay, okay, I'm not joking with you, I just remembered that I'm going home for dinner tonight, so I won't talk to you more, I'll go first." Cui Li put on his backpack and walked quickly out of the classroom.
I looked at my watch, and it was 4:30, and it looked like I had to hurry up. I quickly left the classroom with my backpack on my back.
October 11, 2021 at 17:00 p.m
I appeared in front of the luxurious Western restaurant on time, looked inside, and saw Arthur and Xiaoyu sitting leisurely. It seems that they have arrived a long time ago.
"What about Zhao Xie? Why hasn't he arrived yet? Usually, as long as he talks about inviting guests to dinner, isn't he always the first to arrive? "I looked around, but I didn't see the shadow of the gnome.
"He said there were 10 minutes left, maybe something was delayed on the way, right?" Arthur hurriedly explained to the dwarf.
"Okay, let's wait for him." I looked at my watch and said.
10 minutes passed...
I saw the dwarf rushing all the way over: "Why are you all at the door?" It can't be that you've already eaten it, right? The dwarf asked, gasping.
"I'm waiting for you here." It's the first time I've said that.
A few of us walked into the restaurant, worthy of being called a luxury restaurant, the overall layout, partitions, and decoration are very magnificent. Even the furnishings in the restaurant are graceful and luxurious. Luxury.
"Hello, do you have a reservation? Several? ”
"No, four." "Okay, this way, please."
We were led by the waiter to the table.
"Guys, here's our menu here." The waiter respectfully handed us a heavy menu.
We ordered almost all the dishes on the menu that were marked with the chef's recommendations.
"That's all."
"Okay, please wait." The waiter left with the menu.
"Char, where have you been for the last few days? Arthur has been looking for you for days. The dwarf asked, sipping tea.
"Do you remember the AEF company we mentioned earlier?" I asked rhetorically.
"Remember, what's wrong?" The dwarf looked curious.
"I went to the company's research group and took part in several days of testing for it....................."
I told them everything I had done about my test.
"No wonder we couldn't find you." Arthur looked worried.
"Arthur, I know you're worried about me, but don't you see I'm back? And I was able to become a member of the research group. ”
"Okay, okay, let's change the subject, come, the steaks have already come up, I'll eat first." The dwarf picked up the cutlery and began to eat the steak.
"I... Also... To..."Xiaoyu also picked up the tableware on the table.
"By the way, Xiaoyu said that she found Professor 'Z'?" The dwarf was still chewing half a steak in his mouth.
"Well, I've made a preliminary confirmation of this person, but I'm not sure he's the 'Z' we're looking for." I drank corn soup.
"It's better than no hope, we should find time to get to know this Professor Kim." The gnome's proposal was not objected to.
"I think so too, it seems that there will be a public lecture from him recently, and I will check it out when the time comes." I continued.
"By the way, since you successfully passed the research group's test, we should celebrate you too, right?" Arthur picked up the drink from his glass.
"Yes, yes, yes, and thank Char for inviting us to such a hearty meal." The gnome also raised his glass.
"Kyo... Enjoy... Open... Pass... Measure...... Try..."Xiaoyu also picked up his drink with both hands.
"Cheers! For..."The dwarf was stuck.
"For a better tomorrow!" Arthur suggested.
"Yes, for a better tomorrow."
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
"Dry... Cup..."
