Chapter 31: Romance in the Mirror VIII
The day of school has finally arrived. Lin Shuang's heart was full of novelty, and she didn't know what the school in this world would be like?
Lin Shuang had eaten breakfast when he heard Luo Bei honking the car horn outside the gate. This was their first day's appointment. Lin Shuang picked up the pink schoolbag, wore a white dress made of pure cotton, and ran out of the door excitedly.
Luo Bei leaned on the car, his hands in his trouser pockets, and stood with his feet crossed in a dashing manner. A white shirt, dark blue trousers, and sneakers with blue stripes on a white background. The morning light reflected on his face, gilding it with a faint golden yellow. A handsome face blooms with an intoxicating smile.
"Luobei, you are so beautiful!" Lin Shuang shouted as he ran towards Luobei.
Luo Bei smiled and opened the door of the back seat for Lin Shuang. He said with some dissatisfaction: "Hey, praise the boy, how can you say that it is beautiful?" Praise girls for being beautiful, and they will use words like beautiful to describe them! ”
"Luobei, but for you, I really can't find the right words to describe your beauty. You are beautiful, 10,000 times more beautiful than a girl! Lin Shuang shouted without hesitation.
"That's why you fall in love with me, right? Little pervert! Luo Bei sat in the driver's seat and teased Lin Shuang.
Lin Shuang refuted Luo Bei with words, and at the same time slapped Luo Bei's back with a weak powder fist. Luo Bei shouted in pain, but his face was extremely enjoyable.
Lin Shuang was in the back seat, laughing inexplicably.
Luo Bei drove to a castle-shaped building and told Lin Shuang that this was their school. Lin Shuang leaned on the car window, looked carefully, and saw a big sign hanging on the left side of the gate of that castle, which read "Yincheng Middle School".
In the square in front of the castle, there are already many cars parked. Some people have already entered the castle gates; Some people, who had just gotten out of the car, were walking towards the castle gate with a smile and a smile.
Luo Bei parked the car at a corner of the square and got out of the car. Without waiting for Luo Bei to open the door of the back seat, Lin Shuang couldn't wait to open the door and get out of the car by himself. She looked around excitedly, her eyes shining with a twinkle.
Luo Bei held Lin Shuang's little hand tightly and walked into the gate of the castle. As soon as I entered the gate, I felt that the light inside was a little dim, and I vaguely saw that the walls on both sides were full of totems painted with various portraits. I couldn't see the faces of those totems clearly, but I could only vaguely see the figures with teeth and claws, and everyone seemed to be holding a steel fork weapon in their hands.
Lin Shuang followed Luobei and continued to move forward, passing through a long and narrow road and stepping up a long staircase. The light in front of them grew brighter and brighter, and when they reached the top of the stairs, they were covered with gold and splendour, as if they had arrived in another world. The large hall was full of students who came to report. On the ceiling overhead, hanging are 18th-century European court-style chandeliers, luxurious and noble. The floor is covered with a bright red carpet, which is soft and clean, giving people a comfortable and comfortable feeling.
As the students gradually arrived, the time for the opening ceremony also arrived. A middle-aged man with a somewhat stiff face gave a welcome opening speech. Then, I talked about the precautions in the future, as well as the school rules and discipline. Finally, I would like to express my best wishes and high expectations for everyone. Luo Bei told Lin Shuang that the man who spoke was their principal, surnamed Ouyang.
Next, everyone walked to the corridor in a different direction that connected to the hall according to the class they had divided before, and looked for their own class. Luo Bei and Lin Shuang were in the same class, and they were in the same position. This is the most gratifying thing for Lin Shuang. Many years ago, Luobei couldn't be assigned to the same class as Lin Shuang, let alone sit in the same position.
Time began to slowly turn back, which was the most beautiful and happy thing for Lin Shuang and Luobei.
The first day of school ended in joy and novelty. The teachers are all approachable and speak softly in class. Also, there will be no homework for students here, and teachers will not test students. There is no such thing as mid-term and final exams, and the relationship between teachers and classmates is more like an equal relationship of good friends, and they will never put on a high-minded appearance.
The high school system here is also three years. Three years later, there is no such thing as a college entrance examination. Students are free to choose universities and colleges according to their interests. It's just that college tuition is extremely expensive and takes a lot of time. Therefore, no student who enters the university is not racing against time to study hard, because they have to be worthy of the large amount of time that their parents pay for themselves.
If a student who enters a university does not take his studies seriously, then he will not only fail his parents' time, but also more likely to consume his parents' few lives for no reason. You know, all the expenses in this world are paid for by time.
On the way home from school, Luo Bei and Lin Shuang saw a pair of men and women in shabby clothes running desperately against each other. The man ran and shouted "Mommy" loudly. The woman, with all her might, rushed towards her son, calling out his son's name with all her might, and her eyes were full of tears.
The distance between the mother and son is getting closer and closer as they run. Both mother and son eagerly stretched out their long arms, trying to quickly hold each other's hands.
"Son, mom's time is running out. Your mother has paid the tuition for you this semester, so you have to take care of yourself. With tears in her eyes, the mother felt that she was about to leave her child.
"No, Mom, you hold on! I still have time here, I'll enter the time into you, and you won't die! The son was also full of tears at the moment, trying his best to race against time.
Just as the fingers of mother and son finally touched, the mother fell to the ground with a pop, gasping for breath in pain.
Luo Bei increased the throttle at this moment and rushed to the mother's side. He quickly opened the car door, stepped over to the mother's side, and attached his arm to the mother's arm to enter the time for her. After a while, the mother's breathing became even and she stood up with the help of her son and Luobei.
"Thank you, kind boy, for giving me a year." The mother gratefully shook Luo Bei's hand and thanked him repeatedly.
The young son also bowed solemnly to Luo Bei and expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, buddy, for saving my mother's life." ”
"No thanks, that's what I'm supposed to do. Whoever encounters such a thing will try their best to help. Luo Bei said with a smile.
The mother listened to Luo Bei's words, shook her head and said, "Child, not all passers-by will be as kind as you. On my way back from paying my son's tuition, I found that I only had 15 minutes left, so I begged the taxi driver on the side of the road to give me a ride. I told him again and again that my son would be waiting for me at the destination and that he would pay for the taxi for me when the time came. But the taxi driver wouldn't let me in. So, I had to run back. If I hadn't met someone like you, I would have died a long time ago. ”
After listening to the mother's words, Luo Bei looked at the mother and son with a sad expression, and was speechless for a while. Lin Shuang's heart was also so sore that she wanted to cry. No matter what kind of environment you live in at the moment, you have to face the harsh reality. No matter what stage of your life you reach, there will always be moments of despair and even despair.
Where there is sunlight, there will be shadows. But that deep shadow is only in summer that the shade of the shadow can make the person who suffers from it feel a pleasant coolness. If it's winter, it will make those who are shaded feel cold to the bone. People's needs change according to the changes of the seasons. Shadows are not the best way to give sunlight, but they are not worse either. Where there is no shade, there is no destined for bright sunshine.
After Luo Bei and Lin Shuang said goodbye to the mother and son, they got into the car gloomily and said nothing all the way. Lin Shuang's eyes couldn't help but burst into tears, and her heart was full of pity and helplessness.
When he was about to get home, Luo Bei said in a low tone: "Lin Shuang, we must promote our perfume, so that we can have the ability to help more people." ”
Lin Shuang nodded at Luo Bei, unable to say a word, but felt that her heart was so sad and tangled.
When Luo Bei got home, he threw himself directly into the laboratory. I stayed up until dawn, and still hadn't cracked the recipe for the four bottles of mysterious spices.
Those spices were exchanged for Lin Shuang's life, and he wanted to give them to Luobei. But Luobei seems to be stuck in a bottleneck at this time, unable to open the mysterious door of wisdom. He can only pray to the gods of heaven over and over again to give him wisdom and strength as soon as possible.
