When Zheng Qing left the wandering bar, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon. Young wizards who were ready to party all night were converging on the bar in twos and threes to grab their seats.

Zheng counted the time, screamed in his heart, and ran to Dr. Duzem's house.

The time he agreed with Jiang Yu was half past three in the afternoon, and it was already half an hour late.

As a boy, it is already very rude to be late when meeting a girl, not to mention that Jiang Yu is still helping him, let alone that.

As he ran, he secretly scolded in his heart as an old and disrespectful wandering wizard. is obviously rich and has a high level of cultivation, but he is scheming with a child who is not a fraction of his age, and he must compare his money, which is simply a shame on all the old wizards.

Originally, according to the plan, Zheng Qing could leave the wandering bar at half past two - if he left at that time, not only would he not be late, but he would be a lot earlier, which could fully demonstrate the gentlemanly demeanor of the wizard - but because the wandering wizard was telling stories and negotiating with Zheng Qing about the price, unconsciously, the time was a little late.

Of course, that time was not wasted.

Zheng Qing touched the gray cloth bag in his arms.

In the small red sandalwood box in the deepest part of the bag, one hundred and twenty jade coins were neatly stacked. These are the proceeds he got after selling the hunt from the school hunting club. Originally, there should be one hundred and thirty pieces, but in order to let the wandering bar take action to curb the gossip that was spreading around the school, Zheng Qing spent ten jade coins in pain.

"Hopefully, it's still too late. ”

The young wizard prayed to himself, his mouth bitter.

Because it is just past the hottest time of the afternoon, the air is still thick with heat at this moment, so there is not much traffic on the pedestrian street. Even so, there were some sharp-eyed people who saw the young wizard running wild in the streets.

"That's Zheng Qing...... Is there something wrong with him running in such a hurry?" a wizard tilted his head to look out the window and asked in a surprised tone, "It looks like he's being chased by a group of demons." ”

The speaker was sitting by the window of a coffee shop facing the street. In front of him was a white porcelain cup, and in the cup, the black coffee was steaming, rolling out one strange cloud after another in the air.

Opposite the wizard was a young witch.

There was no coffee in front of her, but a plate of bloody dead frogs. The frogs were all skinned, revealing pink, bloody frog flesh. A thick cobra was hanging around the witch's neck, spitting bright red letters, greedily licking the flesh of the frogs.

Not far away, the waiter at the coffee shop was looking desperately at the witch, the snake and the dead frog - a strange combination that had scared away many of the young witches in the shop. However, because the witch was the chief student of the first year of Jiuyou Academy, the shopkeeper did not dare to step forward to drive people away, so he could only pray in his heart to the Heavenly God and Buddha to send this little ancestor away quickly.

"Nicholas, don't avoid my question!" Liu Feifei glanced at the figure of the public student hurrying by outside the window, then turned her head and glared at the sallow male witch opposite, and said dissatisfiedly: "...... Even if Zheng Qing runs naked on the street, what does it have to do with us?!"

"I'll just ask you one thing now...... Do you want to pass your final exams and move on to your sophomore year?"

Nicholas stared at the small porcelain cup in front of him nervously, crossed his hands, rubbed his two thumbs on the rim of the cup, and only replied in a low voice: "Yes!"

"Since you want to upgrade, why haven't you come to the library to study recently?!" Liu Feifei's tone became more and more annoyed, and her voice raised slightly: "Not only did you not come to study, but you also avoided me! Am I so terrible? Is it useful to hide from me?...... If it weren't for Elena helping me calculate your whereabouts, would you be going to hide for the rest of your life!"

As if sensing the anger of the little master, the cobra, who had been happily licking the flesh of the frog, suddenly raised his head, puffed out his mouth, and hissed at the male witch opposite.

There were a few more suppressed screams in the small coffee shop. Soon, several witches dropped their money and ran away in a hurry. The owner of the coffee shop was left standing at the counter, crying without tears.

"Shut up for me! Adults speak, you don't have the right to interject!" Liu Feifei slapped her cobra's head, smashed its head into the frog meat pile, and angrily reprimanded.

The cobra shook his head blankly, glanced at his little master carefully, and then glanced at the stinky boy with mixed blood on the other side, blinked, and finally honestly buried his head between the two frog legs, and obediently gnawed on the frog meat.

"I'm not hiding from you...... It's just that it's Moon Hunting recently, and many stores are hiring hourly workers...... I'm just using my spare time to earn some living expenses......" Nicholas stammered and explained, denying it repeatedly, "I'm not hiding from you!

"Don't you have a bursary?" Liu Feifei frowned, slightly displeased: "We are still students, as long as the living expenses are enough...... Do you expect the school to give you a fourth chance? Or do you think it is an honor to be the first student in the history of the First University to complete the first year of four colleges?"

Nicholas wrung his fingers and hesitated for a while, then finally sighed and whispered, "The bursary is only enough for me alone. I also have a younger sister who is not in good health and has to take medicine every day...... Also, the Chinese New Year is still a few months away, and I should always have a New Year's gift for all of you. ”

Liu Feifei was stunned, and finally snorted softly, her body shrank back slightly, and the fierce expression on her face faded a lot.

"Then you should tell me in advance!" muttered the chief student of Jiuyou Academy, "Even so, you can't fall behind in your homework...... In this way, every night after you finish playing, I can take time to help you review the key points and difficulties in your homework, and the time is set at 9 pm to 11:30 pm, is there a problem?!"

Although it was a rhetorical question, judging by her expression, it seemed that she did not intend to hear a second answer from Nicholas's mouth.

Fortunately, little brother Nicholas is not stupid, and immediately nodded quickly: "No problem...... You can get started at any time. ”

The problem was solved, and the two suddenly fell into silence, speechless for a while.

Liu Feifei stared at the cobra eating frog meat for a moment, and finally found an excuse and turned the topic back to the fork in the road opened up by Nicholas before: "Your previous question is very reasonable...... Zheng Qing was in a hurry just now, what are you running?"

As he spoke, the two of them turned their heads to look out the window in unison.

On the pedestrian street, pedestrians come and go, and it is very lively. The figure of the young public-funded student of the Astronomy 08-1 class has long disappeared in the rolling flow of people and has disappeared without a trace.
