Chapter 61: 'Embarrassment'

Before Zhang Longchu was adopted by the Isador family, he had always been eager to enter high school as soon as possible, so that he could find a stable part-time job, receive a regular salary, and get rid of the miserable life of selling 'weeds' with a casual expression, but deep down in his heart, he was terrified all the time, lest he be caught.

Now, of course, it is no longer a problem for him to live a peaceful life, but getting a score of at least 'B' in the promotion exam has become a top priority for him to worry about.

After all, although the general life of teenagers in the United States is quite relaxed, free, and colorful, the reality is different from Disney's (Disney) youth campus dramas after all, and the daily theme cannot always be endless love, fun, and jealousy.

When you enter high school, because the academic score begins to be closely related to the fact that you can apply for a certain level of college after graduating from compulsory education, unless you are from the bottom of the society, stubborn, and have no intention of continuing higher education;

Or born in a wealthy political and economic family, whose parents have extensive influence throughout Millican, or who can casually come up with a donation of millions of dollars, and who can easily get into a first-class school, ordinary middle school students will become attentive to their grades.

On a hot afternoon, the low-pressure dragonflies flew around the 'Corryton' campus, walking on the steaming trails, and no matter how refreshing they were, they became sweaty in a moment.

Under the torture of this scorching heat, Zhang Longchu straddled his strange backpack diagonally, flipped through a thick book of "Selected Poems of Sha Weng" in his hand, let the beads of sweat the size of beans pass across his cheeks, and still seemed to be unaware of the flow of people after school, walking in the direction of his parking.

When he passed by an outdoor stage that had just been built, suddenly a tall young man with a stack of leaflets in his hand had his eyes lit up, strode behind him, patted Zhang Longchu's shoulder hard, and said in a grinning and rough voice: "You are still reading books while walking on campus in this kind of ghost weather, no wonder you yellow-skinned geniuses in the whole country are the best learners."

But you are always like this, and you still don't give us a chance to give us white people who only know how to exercise their muscles to pursue girls, and don't know how to 'exercise' their heads to take exams, Long Chu? ”

"Mike, don't kid me, Mr. Howard in the Literature Appreciation class asked me to submit an essay on the comparison of Western poetry, but I have never read thirteen lines in my life.

You also know how strict he is, and if I don't hurry up and work hard, I'm doomed. Zhang Longchu stopped, sighed, and continued to flip through the poetry book without looking back.

"Dark Lord Howard, you actually took his class!" Mack's eyes widened and he exclaimed, then whispered in a poetic tone, "O brave and fearless transcendent;

Your courage is indeed different from that of us ordinary people;

Let's face the Dark Lord's edge;

I can't do anything for you, but I can always pray;

Take this paper, let's leave it at that, my friend, I will recite your name and surname to the gods before dawn", and threw the poster in his hand to Zhang Longchu.

"What is this?" Inexplicably received a colorful poster, Zhang Longchu frowned and said.

Mike replied with a smile: "Barbara is going to give a speech on campus after school tomorrow, this is a notice poster, I wanted to ask you to send it together, now it seems that you have more important things to do, so help eliminate this one." ”

Although Zhang Longchu was not interested in this kind of student speech at all, he still said out of politeness, "Yes, if it is Barbara's speech, it must be very exciting." He folded the flyer, took it, waved at Mike, and walked on, walking out of the trail He was just about to turn when suddenly he felt a drop of water fall from the sky and hit his forehead.

Feeling bad in his heart, Zhang Longchu looked up at the sky, and saw countless raindrops falling from sparse to dense, and small to large, and in just ten seconds, it had formed a downpour.

"Oh, what a hell, it's just out of the sun, and it's raining again..."Hurriedly holding the poetry book in his arms, Zhang Longchu cursed secretly in his heart, and hurriedly looked around with his hands on the canopy, trying to find a place to shelter from the rain, and suddenly saw a white sports car stop beside him.

The car window opened, revealing Celia's beautiful face, "Long Chu, get in the car, hurry..."

Since turning into a giant wolf in the woods on the outskirts of Los Angeles and rescuing the two sisters Rosa and Celia, Zhang Longchu and Rosa's relationship has obviously become closer, but it is like a gap with Celia, and words have become even rarer than before.

But no matter how embarrassing it is, it's much better than drenching it in soup, Zhang Longchu hesitated a little and opened the door directly and sat in the passenger seat.

Seeing him get into the car, Celia immediately stepped on the accelerator again, and slowly drove the sports car out of the campus, at this time, Zhang Longchu on the side felt that the two didn't talk a word after getting in the car, it was too strange, and couldn't help but say without words: "Celia, the weather this summer is really weird, the rain keeps falling..."

"Despite Los Angeles' Mediterranean climate, the average summer rainfall over the years is more than 100 milliliters, so this year's rain is not much." Leaving the school, the car was no longer in the way, Celia immediately parked the car on the side of the road, turned around and took a bath towel in the back seat, handed it to Zhang Longchuhou, and said with a glance.

"Yes, wow, I really didn't expect you to even know the average rainfall in Los Angeles, really, really erudite..."Zhang Longchu choked for a moment, took the bath towel and wiped his hair, and asked with a dry smile and pretending to be humorous: "Well, why do you even bring a bath towel with you to school, do you guess that I will become a soup chicken today?" ”

"I wanted to go swimming at the beach today, and that towel was for myself." Celia shrugged and said, "Okay, don't have nothing to say Long Chu, I have long thought about it, the reason why we get along so strangely is all on me, well, in fact, I have long wanted to say to you formally, thank you..."

As she was talking, she suddenly accidentally saw Zhang Longchu's poetry collection on the control console of the car, the familiar face printed on the flyer she was holding, frowned, reached out and picked up the flyer, and asked casually, "What is this?" ”

"Flyer for Barbara's speech." already knew that Celia and Barbara had a strong competitive plot, Zhang Longchu secretly screamed in his heart, but on the surface he seemed to be indifferent and joked, "This girl is crazy, obviously in such a hot weather, what kind of campus speech will she hold tomorrow afternoon."

I don't think anyone listens to it except for Mike and Caroline. ”

"Not necessarily." Not happy because of Zhang Longchu's teasing of his opponent, Celia, who looked down at the flyer, frowned deeper and deeper, and suddenly raised her head to look at Zhang Longchu and asked, "What about you, will you go?" ”

"Tomorrow is Friday, it's the day when I play board games and watch movies with my friends, how can I brave the scorching heat, feed mosquitoes, and listen to some campus speeches." Zhang Longchu shrugged.

"You really don't care about the school's affairs, Long Chu, don't you know that Barbara has been gathering all the junior high school students of 'Corriton' all this time to raise donations from the outstanding alumni on the school's website, and book our graduation trip to the 'Conquistador's Theme Park' in the frontier area?

I think this talk must be about this as well, so there will be a lot more audience than you think. Hearing this, Celia's face finally looked a little better, but her tone was still sour.

The so-called graduation trip is the habit of most of the young people in the new generation, whether it is junior high school, high school or college, whenever there is a big leap in life, they always like to use a trip away from home as a baptism to start a new stage.

If this kind of trip is a public school, it is generally planned by the student privately because the federal government will never allow publicly funded educational institutions to charge fees;

In the case of private schools, the school or the student council may plan together, and there are many suitable and interesting itineraries for students to choose from.

However, if it is a high school to college, after all, some crazy prospective college students who have the ability to make a living or financial strength will even take a leave of absence immediately after receiving the university admission letter, and then spend a whole year traveling around the world, and then start their college life, compared to the trip to the 'Conqueror Theme Park', it is not a big deal.

But just graduating from junior high school and taking a huge risk, it seems too exaggerated to spend at least tens of thousands of meters per person to go on an adventure on the heterotopic plane, but after thinking about the family background of most of the classmates around him and the curious character of the bloody Fanggang, Zhang Longchu felt that this matter was difficult in terms of creativity, and once someone proposed it, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.

Seeing his expression change from surprise to relief, Celia couldn't help but bite her lip and said: "By the way, I forgot that you are a transcendent and a heterotopic bounty mercenary, for people like you, 'Conqueror Theme Park' should be more ordinary than 'Disney'...

Ah, I remember, when you said you were traveling to China during the Christmas holiday, you actually went on an expedition to the Alternate Plane, right, but you and Barbara's group accidentally ran into each other, so those guys with eyes on their heads will suddenly accept you as friends after school starts, and become so warm and polite to you, right? ”

"Yes, Celia, but they're just my friends, and you're my family." Zhang Longchu shrugged his shoulders and said seriously.

Hearing this, Celia's body stiffened, and she was silent for a while, then suddenly brushed her hair all over her head, and said with a wry smile: "I'm sorry, Long Chu, I actually asked you so rudely.

Oh, how can this be, I'm just crazy..."
