After the meeting, several people returned to school together. It was already eight o'clock in the morning, and everyone still had classes. Qiao Zhixue had asked for leave for them these two days, so they were all considered to be in attendance, but they still had to make up for the missed classes.
Cui and Yu Liangxian didn't need to make up for it, they had already learned it by themselves. Yan Yongfeng and Qiu Qi were hard-working people with a solid foundation, so it was not difficult for them to miss two days of classes. Ke Hao helped them take notes and even recorded the more important classes, so they could catch up in a day or two.
Tan Yan couldn't understand at all. Anyway, he hadn't learned this far and was still studying high school knowledge. It didn't matter whether he listened or not. There was no point in getting anxious.
The worst off was Qin Li, who got into the superpower team by luck ("a hole opened directly behind him"). His theoretical grades were the worst in the class, and after missing two days of classes, it was very difficult for him to catch up.
Fortunately, Cui Heyu was relatively free, so he didn't have to enter the "void" anymore. Minister Yu also temporarily banned his computer, so he had no way to contact his special abilities. So he agreed to give Qin Li extra lessons.
"You have to work hard for me in the other world," Cui Heyu said unhappily, "I can only stay in the real world from now on."
"Please help us look after the house." Qiu Qizhen comforted.
"Well, when you return triumphantly, I will say 'welcome home'." Cui Heyu felt a little better when he thought about the scene.
Several people had just returned from the other world and were roughly awakened by the deer's bite before they had fully recovered. They also had a meeting for most of the night, and their scientific views were once again baptized. They could not rest when they returned to school, so they picked up their books and went to class. Everyone had dark circles under their eyes and kept dozing off in the classroom.
Only Tan Yan was still energetic and took notes seriously. He didn't understand a word of today's calculus class, but it didn't matter, the early bird catches the worm. He wrote down everything the teacher said, and he could look at it later when he got to this point.
Liang Xian sat next to Tan Yan. After taking a nap on the table, he rested his head on his arms, opened his hazy eyes, and turned his head to look at Tan Yan who was taking notes seriously.
Young face, focused eyes, slender fingers...
Even though he knew that this man was 58 years old, 8 years older than his father, Liang Xian still couldn't help being fascinated by Tan Yan.
Or maybe he just has too good a look.
If one day, Tan Yan suddenly became old, would I still like him
Liang Xian didn't know what had happened yet. It is said that every three years there is a generation gap, but forty years is no longer a generation gap, but a chasm. His first love seemed to have no future. Tan Yan was a very straight man, and he didn't even notice when they slept together at night. And now, the originally vague heartbeat is now blocked by the chasm of age and experience. Will his pitiful love really end like this
Liang Xian wanted to try harder, but what could he try for? Try to get older
As he thought, he looked at Tan Yan intently. In the end, he was actually obsessed with his serious expression.
Liang Xian had been learning calculus for fun on his own since middle school, so what the teacher was teaching now was child's play for him. Tan Yan could listen so seriously to such a simple and boring thing, which was really... a little cute.
Liang Xian thought about it, what kind of personality would Tan Yan have if he were from the same era as him
His grades would definitely not be too bad. He was dedicated to learning and would work hard to overcome any difficult subject. The reason why he couldn't catch up now was because they had studied for twelve years, while Tan Yan was 40 years behind them. It would take time to make up for the gap of so many years.
If they had studied together from the beginning, Tan Yan's grades would probably be similar to Qiu Qizhen's. Although not the best, he would definitely not be unfavorable in one subject.
His physical fitness must be the best in the class. No one can compare to him in terms of endurance or overall strength.
In terms of moral character, Tan Yan would definitely respect teachers, unite with classmates, and enthusiastically help every student who encounters difficulties. When Tan Yan was in elementary school, the red scarf on his neck must have been bright red, like a national flag.
He must be a three-good student with all-round development in morality, intelligence, physique, aesthetics and labor, an outstanding member of the Youth League, team leader and even student union president, and every classmate believes in him.
As for myself, I probably would not like Tan Yan at first. Liang Xian knew his own character. He was very disgusted with the kind of leadership that the minister had. Minister Yu loved his country, his people, and his society, but he did not love his family. Minister Yu always put his family aside for the sake of the public, and Liang Xian was always the one who was abandoned.
So he would agree with Tan Yan's point of view while hating him and always making sarcastic remarks to Tan Yan. However, Tan Yan would definitely not agree with him. No matter how Liang Xian provoked him, Tan Yan would just laugh it off.
This man would never have room for such trivial matters.
They will study and train together for more than ten years. During these ten years, they must have had the opportunity to spend time together. Tan Yan will carefully discover Liang Xian's every need, help him, take care of him, and will not abandon him even if he encounters danger.
Tan Yan would extend his hands to him when he was exhausted, would carry him on his back when he had a sprained foot, and would stay up all night to take care of him when he was sick.
Minister Yu had never done any of these things before, and Liang Xian had endured them all alone.
But Tan Yan would not let him go. Even though Liang Xian knew that Tan Yan treated everyone in the class like this, he knew that he would still be attracted to him, from dislike to dependence, and then to love.
Even if he is in a different environment, he will still be attracted to this person.
Thinking of this, Liang Xian grabbed Tan Yan's arm for some unknown reason. Tan Yan looked up at him in shock. Liang Xian said, "I..."
He didn't even know what to say, he just instinctively wanted to catch his first love who was flying away.
At this time, the bell rang. University teachers would not keep the get out of class going. He would finish the get out of class immediately and continue the remaining content in the next class.
Tan Yan breathed a sigh of relief. He took down all the notes.
The ringing interrupted Liang Xian's thoughts. He froze and said, "I'd better help you with your studies. You're progressing slowly this way."
"Don't you still need to learn?" Tan Yan whispered, "Your knowledge is different from ours. Do you need to supplement your knowledge?"
"That" refers to supernatural powers. Walls have ears, so Tan Yan is still very cautious.
"It's okay," Liang Xian shook his head and said, "I know the structures of some emergency items, and I know a lot of dangerous items. But if I don't have enough strength, it's useless to know more. At this stage, I still focus on improving my strength. I can only practice this under the guidance of Professor Qiao at night. I usually have plenty of time. And you don't have to listen to my lectures all the time. When you are doing the exercises, I can read the book."
In short, let’s learn together.
"Is that so?" Tan Yan said embarrassedly, "I am really sorry to trouble you."
"Between you and me, don't talk about trouble." Liang Xian grabbed Tan Yan's hand and stared at him. "We live and die together. If you use the word 'trouble', I will be sad."
"I think too much," Tan Yan understood what he meant, "You are such a good child."
Liang Xian: “…”
"If you call me kid again, I'll be angry!" Liang Xian pretended to be angry.
“Okay, okay, Teacher Liang, hahahahahahahaha…” Tan Yan laughed heartily.
He gradually became different from the somewhat silent and introverted man at the beginning. In essence, Tan Yan was a very charismatic person. After coming to university and having in-depth contact with young people, Tan Yan also revealed his own personality.
Hearing the words "Mr. Liang", Liang Xian felt a tingling sensation from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, followed by a feeling of joy in his heart. He wanted to laugh, but tried hard to control himself. He just pulled the corners of his mouth and pretended to be dignified and said, "Well, from now on, call me 'Mr. Liang' when we study together."
As they were chatting, Ke Hao came over and said to Qiu Qizheng and the others, "Class monitor, why do I feel like I haven't seen you for a long time? Ever since you joined that interest group, you're not living together in the same dormitory. You've been absent-minded every day. The day before yesterday, you even asked for leave, saying that you were... participating in the outdoor activities of the interest group. Why are you, a quantum mechanics interest group, going outdoors? Aren't you supposed to be doing interesting experiments in the lab?"
But they did go for outdoor practice, and not just "outdoors", but even "outside the earth", "outside the universe", and "outside the world".
They are all good brothers who grew up together. No one wants to deceive Ke Hao, so they can only remain silent with dark circles under their eyes.
"Your mental state..." Ke Hao looked puzzled, "Class monitor, you never sleep in class. I saw you dozing off several times just now. Even if you haven't slept for three days and three nights, you wouldn't be like this, right?"
Although I slept, I felt more tired than not sleeping for seven days, and now I have tinnitus...
Ke Hao was also quite pitiful. He asked several questions in a row, but everyone remained silent. Even his friends who came to play with Qiu Qizhen couldn't stand it anymore.
"We can take two days off at the end of this month, or organize a trip for the whole class to visit the Great Wall. Our class hasn't had any group activities since the military training." Ke Hao continued to suggest that Qiu Qizhen, the class monitor, should take the lead in this matter.
Since the special class entered college, they have two days off on the last weekend of every month unless there are special events. The normal weekends are training days. Compared to ordinary colleges, it is very hard, but for the students in the special class, two days off is really a lot. They didn't even have two days in high school, and they had to train during winter and summer vacations.
At the end of the month, the Great Wall…
Qiu Qizheng could only answer: "We'll talk about it when the time comes."
Who knows if they will encounter any holes during these two days of vacation, and whether they can come back. Qiu Qizhen didn't dare to agree directly.
Ke Hao's face was full of disappointment: "Squad leader, I feel like I'm not from the same world as you guys."
Indeed, no longer.
At this time, Qiu Qi was thinking more about Tan Yan rather than Ke Hao.
They had just entered the other world once, and they felt far away from their former friends. He felt very uncomfortable and lonely. Fortunately, he still had companions to talk to. Professor Qiao and Minister Yu also prepared a psychologist for them, so they could talk to him at any time.
But how did Tan Yan manage to stay away from the normal world for forty years
If you ask him, he will probably just say "I'm used to it", right
How much sadness and loneliness are revealed in these three simple words.
"Haozi," Qiu Qizhen said, "I'm not sure if I can go now. Can we make an appointment on the weekend morning? I also want to go to the Great Wall. Even if I've been there before, I want to go again."
Thank them for saving my life.
"Okay!" Ke Hao was very happy to hear Qiu Qizheng say that. He then asked carefully, "Squad leader, can I know where you went the past two days?"
"It's just an outdoor experiment for the interest group," Qiu Qizheng said simply, "You... maybe one day, you will also participate."
He did not persuade Ke Hao to study hard and join interest groups, because the other world was no joke.
Qiu Qizhen himself is willing to take risks for that fantasy world, but he cannot persuade others to sacrifice their lives.
If one day the situation becomes serious enough to require a large number of psychics, Qiu Qizhen will do his best to help Ke Hao become a first-class psychic, but it is not possible now, so let him enjoy an ordinary but safe life.
I will protect you. Looking at the classmates in the class, Qiu Qizheng suddenly had this thought in his mind.
He felt a warmth in his chest, and a force flowed from his heart into his blood, and all the loneliness he had just felt was dispelled.
"Are you the same?" Qiu Qizhen suddenly asked after returning to the dormitory.
"Huh?" Tan Yan, who raised his head from the sea of questions, was confused.
Qiu Qizheng touched his chest and said, "I was actually very scared and lonely. I also wanted to live a normal life. No matter how powerful my superpowers were, they were not as important as my life. I wanted to give up. But when I saw my classmates and teachers... who were my colleagues and the people of Ping County, I felt warm here and was not afraid at all."
Tan Yan smiled: "Yes."
He knew that Qiu Qizhen understood.
It was not someone else who told him that he had to sacrifice himself for the safety of the race; it was not the country that pushed him and forced him to die. No one likes pain, and everyone wants to hide in a safe place. But there is always someone who has to stand up and shield the wind and rain for the people behind him.
Don’t think that you are the only one who is bearing the wind and rain. The strength and courage that allow you to stand at the forefront of the storm are always given to you by the people behind you.
On this day, everyone seemed to be a little different, and everyone had their own opinions on the matter of protection.
The impact of Tan Yan's past was gradually melting into everyone's hearts. The few lines of his resume were not boring data to them, but life lessons one after another.
At night, everyone found that they really couldn't regard Tan Yan as a peer.
Only Liang Xian was still strong enough to climb onto Tan Yan's bed with a fearless look on his face.
Cui Heyu, who guessed Liang Xian's thoughts, said: "..."
"Aren't you afraid that you might accidentally use your powers after falling asleep and we'd find out, so you're sharing a bed with Tan Yan?" Cui Heyu asked, "Now that everyone knows about it, why are you still climbing in?"
"You're afraid that my strength is too strong and may hurt you." Liang Xian glared at him.
"Then I'll hug you too," Yan Yongfeng said with a smile, "What if I accidentally pull out that 40-meter-long sword at night?"
In fact, they all know that their superpowers have stabilized, and their subconscious mind does not want to expose them, so they will not accidentally use their superpowers while sleeping.
"No," Tan Yan explained, "When Liang Xian went to another world, he felt anxious. I understand how he felt. I slept with him."
Everyone: “…”
Only you believe him!
Cui Heyu's dislike for Liang Xian may be due to his genes. He thought for a moment and smiled maliciously: "Eh? You said, when new team members arrive and they also awaken their special powers, should we tell the newcomer Tan Yan's real age?"
Liang Xian: “…”
Cui Heyu would definitely feel uncomfortable if he didn't provoke him.
Unexpectedly, everyone said in unison: "Of course not!"
Tan Yan: "… Why? Didn't Minister Yu say that if it's trustworthy, it can be disclosed in order to educate them and serve as a role model?"
Qin Li: "Let's talk about it later."
Yan Yongfeng: "We will make them suffer the same hardships we have suffered."
Qiu Qizheng: "You'd better act younger in front of new people. Don't say things like 'kids'. It's ok to call Xiaolu your son."
Cui Heyu: "We will report to the organization tomorrow and keep Comrade Tan Yan's age a secret. This is the baptism that every newcomer should accept!"
Yan Yongfeng: "This is a good idea. I like it."
Tan Yan: “…”
What's wrong with these kids? They've become so weird.
I thought it was just a joke, but the next night during the interest group study, they actually submitted an application report, and even the teaching assistant Chai wrote one! I don’t know when they had agreed on it.
Qiao Zhixue read all the applications and sighed, "This kind of thing is usually handled by Xu Mingyu. You even leave these trivial matters to me. Do you want to tire me to death?"
“But Secretary Xu…” Assistant Instructor Chai looked embarrassed.
Xu Mingyu does not have the excellent healing ability of the psychics. He is still lying in the hospital, unable to eat, and relying on injections of nutrient solution to maintain his body functions. He is really pitiful. How dare Asan give the request to him
The little deer that Qiao Zhixue brought with him for training trembled its ears and lowered its head in shame.
That night, everyone trained together in the training hall based on their respective abilities. Cui Heyu had nothing to do but help everyone record data. From time to time, he would come up with some creative ideas to provide ideas for the training.
The next evening, Qiao Zhixue brought Minister Yu's response to several people's requests and two classmates from the interest group.
Minister Yu's reply was "I have read it, it's OK, Comrade Tan Yan will handle it at his discretion", which was simple and clear. In front of the two new students, everyone stared at Tan Yan, as if to say "If you dare to say that, we will bite you".
Tan Yan: “…”
I never thought that my age would cause so much harm to everyone, but he couldn't help it...
The two new classmates are called Feng Wu and Hong Liren. They are sophomores and juniors respectively, and they seem to have a good relationship.
They didn't know what organization they were going to join, but they were very happy to be chosen because of their excellence to carry out a mysterious mission, and they introduced themselves enthusiastically.
But the first-year students were particularly rude and no one responded to them, including Assistant Instructor Chai. Everyone glared at the student named Tan Yan.
Feng Wu and Hong Liren, two senior students, inexplicably found themselves isolated by their junior classmates!
The author has something to say: La la la la, I finally finished writing it. I went out for a walk after get off work in the evening, and suddenly an idea came to my mind. I also knew how to write the next copy. It's really like when you are at the end of your rope, there is always a way out~~~
Thumbs up for the little deer who showed his face today
And, I love you all...
Nutrient solution
ppps: It’s the end of the month, and I’d like to tell you secretly that I’ve put a new article in my author column, called “The Necromancer in Modern Times”. If you’re interested, you can collect it. Although it’s still a long time before it’s released, it will be in 2019_(:3∠)_
Hahahahahaha
