The student who first saw Chen Chuan said excitedly at this time: "Senior, are you back for the holidays?" Chen Chuan said: "Yes, I just got back yesterday." The dormitory teacher saw the new students around looking puzzled, smiled and said, "This is your senior, let me remind you, he is the one who entered Central City last year." Last year, Central City? The students eyes lit up one by one. "It's Senior Chen Chuan !" As soon as someone shouted, these students were all extremely excited. The way they looked at Chen Chuan was full of worship. Chen Chuan's incident last year was very sensational. The newspapers reported it extensively. In addition, he was the first student in recent decades to be admitted to Central City as a civilian student . This is enough to be called an inspirational legend. Students who are determined to be admitted to Wuyi take him as their own struggle target. Although these students who are preparing for the Second Trial have not met him, they have always heard about him from others and older students , so how can they not be excited when they see him. They were also very lucky in their hearts. If they hadn't come here today, they might not have seen this senior. Chen Chuan smiled slightly and said: "Everyone, I wish you all the best in the upcoming exams. I hope you all have the opportunity to study at Central City Headquarters in the future." "Thank you, Senior!" These fifteen or sixteen-year-old students were filled with fighting spirit when they heard him say this, "We will definitely work hard!" Chen Chuan then walked up to the dormitory teacher and said, "Teacher , are Luo classmate , Feng classmate , and Wei classmate here?" The dormitory teacher said: "Luo classmate has gone home for the holidays, Wei classmate has been following Wu Han on a Commission recently, but Feng classmate is here, and is helping to prepare for tomorrow's Second Trial registration." Chen Chuan nodded. The dormitory teacher gestured upwards and said, "Do you want to go up for a while? Your key is still with me. Your dormitory has been empty there, all the way until the entire semester next year. You can move back if you want. This is a special approval from the school management." Chen Chuan thought for a moment and understood the school's approach. Under normal circumstances, he might still be in school now and would have to study for a whole year before graduating. He shook his head and said, "No need, let's leave it to a more suitable student ." The dormitory teacher smiled and said, "There may be one in the future, but right now you are the only one qualified to live there. You can't let other students live there even if you wanted to. Let's not talk about this, these are minor matters. How do you feel after going to Central City for more than half a year?" Chen Chuan said: "I have seen a lot of things. If I hadn't gone there, I would never have known how big the outside world is, but the light there is more dazzling, and the colorful colors can penetrate into a person's soul. Moreover, its steps are very high, so high that you may fall from it if you are not careful." The dormitory teacher nodded silently. He could understand, but some of the students next to him didn't quite understand. Chen Chuan then took out a wrapped item and handed it over, "This time I came back, I don't have anything good to give to teacher , please accept this small gift." The dormitory teacher was not polite and smiled, "Then I will accept it." Chen Chuan chatted with him for a few more words, and seeing that he still had something to do, he said, "Teacher , please go ahead and do your work, I'll leave first." He also greeted those students , and left the dormitory building in a chorus of "Goodbye, Senior." After coming out, he originally wanted to see Feng Xiaoqi , but after thinking about it, the latter should still be busy now, and if he went there, he probably wouldn't be able to get away for a long time, purely disturbing other people's work, so he decided to forget it. It's better to find a time to call out Wei Chang'an , Senior Ren, and the team members from back then for a meal and get together. After making up his mind, he walked towards the parking lot. Whether it was because he was feeling sentimental or because he was in a good mood, after walking around, the intimidating aura on his body had subsided a lot without him realizing it. After getting in the car, he drove out of the school, thought for a while, stopped by the roadside, came to the phone booth, and made a call. After a while, a pleasant female voice came out: "Hello, who is this?" Chen Chuan said: "Senior Sister, it's me, Chen Chuan ." "Junior Brother Chen?" He Nan reacted quickly and said: "Are you on vacation now? Are you in Yang Zhi?" Chen Chuan said: "Yes, I would like to take some time to see you, Senior Sister, and Bureau Chief Lei , and Xiao Ying . I don't know when it would be convenient?" He Nan said with a smile: "Lao Lei will be very happy to know that you are back. He is not busy recently. He will have time this Holiday day. Just come then, Junior Brother. Remember not to bring anything, Lao Lei doesn't like it." Chen Chuan said: "Okay, Senior Sister." After saying a few words, he hung up the phone. On the other side, the dormitory teacher waited until he was done with his work and saw off those still excited students . He took the things Chen Chuan sent over and opened the package, and found it was a photo album. They were all photos taken by Chen Chuan in Central City, including the Mysterious Palace Tower, Crack Wave Canyon, tram platforms, and the abandoned Building of Molan Company was also in it, and below were the words "Student Chen Chuan presents'. He smiled. These photos were okay, but the key was these words, which he had to keep carefully. After Chen Chuan came out of the phone booth, he went to a newsstand next to him and bought a few newspapers. He got in the car and flipped through them. He was used to the fast information dissemination and inquiry in Central City, and he was a little unaccustomed to returning to Yang Zhi. If he wanted to know any news, he could only consult industry insiders and professionals. What he learned from the newspapers was, at most, some fragmented things. Because it was almost noon, he said he wouldn't go back for dinner. After thinking about it, he drove to a certain location and found a Han Family Restaurant at an intersection. He glanced at it. It was almost meal time and there were many customers, so business was good. Inside, a family of three was busy, and a little girl of about ten years old was helping to serve dishes. Although she was young, her movements were very quick. Chen Chuan took off his wide-brimmed hat, got out of the car, and entered the restaurant. Seeing him come in, a middle-aged man with white temples and a face full of wrinkles immediately wiped his hands with a cloth and walked up from behind, smiling and saying: "Officer, what would you like to eat?" Chen Chuan looked at the dishes posted on the wall, ordered a few, sat down and whispered: "I heard people say that Han Family Restaurant's homemade beef is good." "Then you've come to the right place, officer. Our beef is top-notch." The middle-aged man wrote down his order, "Please wait a moment, officer." and personally went to the back kitchen to cook. Chen Chuan only waited for a while, and the little girl came up with the dishes, placed them steadily on the table, and said: "Big brother, are you from Wuyi?" Chen Chuan looked at her and asked: "Why do you ask?" seaʀᴄh thё Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Because I have seen big brothers from Wuyi, some of them are as tall as you, big brother." Chen Chuan asked: "Do many big brothers from Wuyi come here to eat?" "Yes, they all say they are my brother's classmates ." While the little girl was speaking, the middle-aged man was silently wiping the table here, without saying a word. Chen Chuan nodded and said: "I am also a big brother." "Really?" Chen Chuan said solemnly: "Really." "Xiao Lan, don't disturb big brother eating, go and help serve the dishes." The middle-aged man spoke over there. "Okay, Dad." Chen Chuan took out chopsticks from the chopstick holder and slowly tasted them. Han's beef was indeed very delicious, just like the one he ate that day after the Second Trial exam, but it was fresher and had more flavor. After eating this meal, he paid the bill and walked out of here. He drove out of the city again, heading north all the way, and turned on the radio to listen to the news. Most of the news was about people's livelihood, but after listening for a while, news about the Resistance Organization appeared again, saying that the Patrol Bureau was preparing to encircle and suppress the Resistance Organization's stronghold outside the city. When he talked to Nian Fuli yesterday, the latter also mentioned this, saying that although the Bloodstain Gang and Molan Company had fallen, the Resistance Organization still existed, but their actions were not as intense as before, and they basically did not operate in Yang Zhi city. Those places were less like the Resistance Organization's strongholds, and more like spontaneous armed forces of villagers outside the city to defend against wasteland armed teams. People in the city could not protect them, so of course they wanted to find ways to protect themselves. The Patrol Bureau knew what was going on, so they didn't make things difficult for them. It was just that the new chief instructor seemed to care about this very much and repeatedly urged the Patrol Bureau to go out to encircle and suppress them, and they were still arguing about it. According to Nian Fuli's statement, this chief instructor seemed to have a background in the National Special Operations Committee, and he was carrying some power down with him, and he had been building his own team these days. The car drove for about twenty minutes and stopped in front of a small river bay. He looked ahead. He hadn't been to the old house for more than half a year, and it was still the same as before. After getting out of the car, he took out the key and opened the door, but just as he walked in, he suddenly saw that there was one more shadow on the ground, as if there was another person standing next to him. He turned a blind eye to this, took the tools inside and cleaned the inside and outside of the house, then started the Algae Oil generator in the basement, boiled a pot of water, made a cup of tea, took a chair from inside and walked out, and sat down under the eaves. The weather in July and August should have been very hot, but there were many trees here, and there was a small stream not far away, so it was very cool under the shade of the trees. He slowly drank tea, enjoying a unique peace. Although he had obtained an address left by his predecessor's parents, he had not gone there because he felt that his Strength was not enough. Assuming that someone was watching him, going there would probably be a problem, but now he has become Third Limit, and after going back this time and understanding some necessary information, he can take a trip there to see what is left there. Here is the intersection of his life and death, and the two parallel worlds of me are merged here. As he sat here quietly, the overflowing aura on his body was gradually taken back by him, returning to the previous simplicity and nature, but his eyes became brighter. After finishing a cup of tea, he looked down at his feet, where there was still only one shadow, as if the extra one just now was just an illusion. He stayed here until almost five o'clock before he got up, put the things back, tidied up, closed the door, and drove away from here in the sound of wind blowing through the leaves and the flowing stream.
