Chapter 004: The Running Boy

It is quite strange that while all the children are playing, one person is running for exercise

Countless neurons connect with one another to form an extremely precise, complex, and highly efficient overall network system. This system integrates and analyzes countless pieces of information, makes judgments, and ultimately issues commands, enabling various organs of the body to respond appropriately and complete various physiological activities

More than 200 meters? Guo Jianfeng gasped in surprise: "This little guy is impressive!"

On the second floor of the teaching building behind the playground, two middle-aged men are leaning against the railing and conversing.

The school has been built, and there is even a small library, but there are not many books.

"Well, it's probably a little over 200 meters. I measured it roughly, but it's not quite 210 meters," Principal Liao replied briefly, and then he shifted his attention back to the reading list.

Guo Jianfeng curled his lips at the sound of someone sprinting across the playground, wearing a look of curiosity: "Such physical strength, endurance, and speed; this is a promising talent! Not inferior to a high school student!"

Hey, everyone look at that fool, running alone even without a physical education class, hahaha

Guo Jianfeng glanced at the playground in the direction pointed by Principal Liao, and a figure flashed past him, inadvertently capturing his attention, causing his gaze to unconsciously follow the figure that was running wildly.

After watching for a while, an unusual expression suddenly appeared on Guo Jianfeng's face

When the brain enhanced by the super brain drug issued commands, his body simply could not refuse. Thus, the boy, unable to resist the commands of his brain, decisively threw his tattered backpack onto his seat in the classroom, and then his body followed the brain's instructions, running wildly around the playground outside the school.

"Come on, stop belittling me here! Doesn't it feel frustrating to say that? To be honest, my position as principal doesn't even compare to your role as a physical education teacher! You think I don't want to leave? But what will happen to these children if I go? There are six classes in the school, and counting me, there are only five teachers. How about we switch roles? You can be the principal, and I will go to the provincial capital's No. 1 High School to be your physical education teacher. Would you be willing to do that?"

Of course, it is merely strange. Although children who enjoy exercising and are self-disciplined are rare, given the vastness of China, they are certainly not uncommon. It is just... this child seems to run quite fast

How many meters is the track below the playground?" Guo Jianfeng asked once again

So, are you saying that this little fellow is being fostered at his uncle's house? And has been mistreated? How can he still have such speed despite long-term malnutrition? Come, come, you accompany me downstairs!

"If you can't go, then you can't go." Principal Liao's expression was quite calm as he joked, "Anyway, I have no regrets. Life here is not as hard as you imagine. I sleep peacefully at night, eat all-natural food, and the air quality is good. I've been here for three years, and there has been no smog. What is there to complain about? There is not much pressure! To be honest, before I came here, my hypertension was impossible to control, but now everything is normal! My health is quite good, and who knows, I might live a few more years. This can be considered a trade-off."

Alas! After venting his frustrations, Principal Liao sighed deeply and then pointed to the children playing on the playground, saying, "I truly want to leave, but I can't bear to part with these children!"

Upon hearing this, Guo Jianfeng rolled his eyes, as a multitude of words were forcefully stuffed back in. Indeed, everyone has a different definition of happiness, and there is no need to rashly criticize others' lives.

Guo Jianfeng glanced at the stopwatch in his hand, the digits frozen at 63 seconds. This was the time he had just recorded for the figure sprinting around the playground for two laps.

The most remarkable aspect of humanity is the brain

Which little fellow? Principal Liao, who had just about finished the reading list, looked up in astonishment and asked this question

A time of 400 meters may not be considered outstanding, but this is elementary school, not to mention that this little fellow has already run at least ten laps, right? How can he still maintain such speed? Not to mention that this little guy is still sprinting on the track, maintaining his previous pace... This stamina... is quite impressive, isn't it?

"Old Liao, how come you have become so reluctant to leave now that you are the principal here?"

This time, Guo Jianfeng took advantage of the last two days of his holiday to specifically come to this remote mountain area to visit an old friend who had chosen to go to the countryside for teaching, as well as to relax his mind

... ...

The two fell into silence, and Lao Liao was lost in thought. Guo Jianfeng naturally would not disturb him. In a state of boredom, his gaze returned to the figure running wildly on the playground below.

"Hmm, this child is sixteen years old!" Principal Liao nodded. He was equally impressed by Wang Yufei. Back then, he had to use a lot of persuasion to convince the child's uncle and aunt to allow him to attend school.

Especially various extracurricular reading materials, as well as the diverse books donated from the provincial capital, can broaden the horizons of many children in the absence of sufficient teachers

"Hmm? Wang Yufei?" Principal Liao examined closely and remarked in surprise

"Sixteen years old and still in elementary school?" Guo Jianfeng exclaimed in surprise

Just like Wang Yufei now

"Enough, don't try to brainwash me here. My family is happy and blissful, no matter what you say, I will not come here to suffer with you! By the way, I have contacted the books you mentioned last time, they should arrive in a few days, all donated by the school. Here is the compiled list of books, take a look and see if there is anything missing. If you need anything else, give me a call, and I will help you apply for it." Guo Jianfeng spoke about the main matter, then took out a densely packed list of books from his pocket and handed it over.

"I told you that you are tying yourself up in knots! I advised you from the very beginning not to confuse emotions with work! Getting a divorce from Xiaofen is one thing; there are many ways to escape, so why did you have to come to this place to teach? Look at you now, you can't leave, can you?" Guo Jianfeng complained.

He then instinctively took out his phone, activated the stopwatch, and pressed the button

Indeed, it is a mad dash, a frantic rush under the watchful eyes of the crowd

Instantly captivated the attention of countless children

This child is quite capable of running fast

Do you know ?

For Lao Liao, this is not a trivial matter

"Hey, on behalf of the 92 students in our school, thank you!" Principal Liao joked, then took the book list and began to examine it carefully

"Old Liao! Is your playground really two hundred meters?" After a moment, Guo Jianfeng suddenly asked.

Hmm? What? Principal Liao, who was still proofreading the reading list, looked up in confusion at his friend.

"A poor child!" Principal Liao exclaimed, and then proceeded to reveal Wang Yufei's background in detail

The man who is slightly shorter, somewhat overweight, and has a slight bald spot is surnamed Liao; he is the principal of this Hope Primary School. The other man, who is taller and sturdier, is named Guo Jianfeng. The two of them are childhood friends, having grown up in the same factory neighborhood, living door to door, playing together since childhood, and both having entered the education sector, which naturally makes their relationship very close
