Chapter Nine, Classmates
This time, there will be more than twenty students selected to go to the new star, while there are about ten students who will remain in this city and return to their hometowns
Wang Xuan
Wang Xuan, you are indeed handsome and striking, with clear eyes, yet your words are rather unkind, making it seem as if we are some sort of foreign species
People on the road continuously greeted each other, and Wang Xuan was naturally well acquainted with them, engaging in conversation and laughter, instantly blending in with the group
Around him, a group of people with strange expressions were staring at Wang Xuan
They insist on staying in this city, waiting for the list to be finalized, to see if any new names will be added, which is sufficient to illustrate their state of mind
Wang Xuan nodded: "I understand, come on, what has passed is of no consequence, it has long been turned over, I wish you a brilliant future, achieving extraordinary success!"
In this season, warmth and desolation coexist in the same city
There are many pedestrians on the road approaching the commercial area, with a heavy flow of vehicles, and the traffic conditions are somewhat congested
On the lawn, the barbecue grill has been set up, and the buffet food is beginning to be arranged on the long tables.
What beautiful vision do you have? someone asked, while expressing their own wish
Those who are selected to go to the new star while being rooted in their homeland are the most excited, envisioning the future and longing for the day they become extraordinary individuals
On both sides of the road, there are numerous ancient ginkgo trees, with yellow leaves fluttering down, forming a thick layer on the ground. Under the sunlight, the ground is covered in golden hues, truly beautiful
The person has medium-length hair that falls past the ears. Their appearance is not particularly handsome, but they possess a pair of exceptionally expressive eyes that leave a deep impression. They seem somewhat assertive, and this quality is quite evident.
However, the surroundings remained very quiet, and a group of people looked towards Wang Xuan's back. He immediately came to his senses, quickly turned around, and instantly saw the extraordinarily beautiful Zhao Qinghan
Do not compare yourself with aliens at this stage," Wang Xuan said with a smile
In the distant city, the streets are brightly lit, resembling interwoven silver chains, with an endless sea of lights merging together, radiating brilliance
The emotions of those who remain in the old land are complex, as they greet Wang Xuan. These individuals express some astonishment, noting that even Wang Xuan was not selected, which was unexpected
Qin Cheng finds him somewhat displeasing, primarily because he perceives him as overly assertive, constantly referring to new stars on the left and implying that others have not experienced certain things, with a rather blunt manner of speaking
He was immediately quite dissatisfied and said: "Am I really that incompetent? How could I possibly cause trouble for Wang Xuan? Besides, at this stage, if I provoke him, I would only get beaten up; I am simply not his match. Before parting, I specifically had someone prepare rare ingredients, all of which are highly nourishing. I know he is obsessed with practicing old techniques, and these things would be beneficial for his body."
... ...
Kong Yi cast a sidelong glance at Qin Cheng, then clinked glasses with Wang Xuan, downing the drink in one go, and said: "Come, this way, I have a batch of rare delicacies sent over by a new star, I would like to treat you to them before we part!"
If one were to say who among these students has a poor relationship with Wang Xuan, it would undoubtedly be this person
Some people, slightly tipsy, find it difficult to distinguish between the starlight in the sky and the lights on the ground, as if the heavens and the earth are connected.
In such a grand era, if any of their classmates were to consistently remain at the forefront, touching upon supernatural powers, it is difficult to imagine what the future would hold
Overall, the atmosphere is quite pleasant. Whether it is the individuals from the New Star or the students born in the Old Land who are heading to the New Star, they all assure their classmates left behind that if there is an opportunity in the future, they will certainly assist the students here.
At the same time, this also indirectly proves their confidence in themselves, as these individuals have indeed achieved considerable success with their old techniques
Wang Xuan and some classmates immediately became alert and quickly took him to a room to rest, advising him not to drink any more, and fortunately, nothing serious happened
Su Chan approached and happened to overhear their conversation
Wang Xuan was taken aback; it was the first time he had heard of this. He had initially thought it was merely as he had previously analyzed regarding Qin Cheng, not realizing that it also involved this kind of testing
Thus, he responded with irritation: "What’s so new about this? Do you know how I eat top-grade snow beef sashimi? As the sun rises in the east, with the first rays of dawn blooming, I chase after cattle on the Hulunbuir Grassland, and this is the time when the beef is the most tender!"
The rented villa is situated on the highest of these low hills, covering several acres, and features an expansive lawn, as well as a swimming pool among other amenities
However, it is unfortunate that the selection criteria this time do not rely on this
Several students from the old land, who are soon to embark on a journey to the new star, are constantly envisioning life over there
Some people have already heard that extraordinary things will emerge in the future
Once I settle down over there, I must buy a villa in a picturesque location like the one in front of me, yes, in a relatively remote area, as it has great potential for appreciation in the future, and the population of new stars will surely continue to grow
"Where do you think you're going? Can't I be inappropriate in any situation? Do you have to make things uncomfortable here?" Kong Yi was a strong-willed person, slightly provoking Qin Cheng, mainly due to his dissatisfaction with Qin Cheng's earlier attitude.
Qin Cheng immediately noticed that two silver flying saucers were already parked over there, their lines smooth and quite aesthetically pleasing, leaving him momentarily speechless
Wang Xuan is usually calm and composed, and has good relationships with all his classmates
Qin Cheng eased the atmosphere and said: "Forget it, let's not bring up the past, do not be disheartened. Staying here is not a bad thing; if we cannot reach the extraordinary, then let us strive hard. Starting today, we will aim to become a financial magnate, commanding and controlling the extraordinary in the future"
Wang Xuan smiled and said: "You can imagine that others have most likely already taken action long ago, everything you like and yearn for..."
Kong Yi brought Wang Xuan to a room, introducing him to the ingredients on the table, while exuding the scent of alcohol.
Just as it was mentioned here, Qin Cheng interjected in advance: "What I like and yearn for is to be alone with Zhao Qinghan..."
Finally, someone lost control, crying out loud. He was not selected, and after drinking, his inner disappointment surfaced, causing him to shed tears.
There are also these spiritual snow cattle that originate from the grasslands at the foot of the New Star Snow Mountain, with exceptionally fine meat. The selected portions can be made into top-grade sashimi in New Star, not to mention here. You have definitely never tasted it; this is specially provided for some old-timers. Give it a try, it is particularly fresh
He patted Qin Cheng on the shoulder and said, "What are you interrupting for?"
The entire city features ancient relics from bygone eras, such as stone towers that have stood for hundreds of years without collapsing, showcasing a sense of antiquity. At the same time, there are clusters of skyscrapers that rise in succession, exuding unparalleled prosperity and a vibrant modern atmosphere
Therefore, most of them are quite intoxicated, with some letting themselves go
I heard that the blood samples we provided during our physical examination were taken to the New Star, where they conducted some analysis, serving as one of the selection criteria said a male classmate who remained on the old soil
On an autumn afternoon, the sky is clear and high, and the fresh azure seems to pour down, purifying the entire city
Wang Xuan stopped Qin Cheng, raised his glass to Kong Yi, and said: "Let us drink, we are all classmates, and we are about to part ways. What is there that cannot be set aside? Besides, there was never really anything to begin with"
"Kong Yi, do not create trouble," warned Qin Cheng
Kong Yi immediately understood the situation; this group of people was uneasy and kept their eyes on him, fearing that he would cause trouble
At this moment, the sky is filled with countless stars, their light pouring down, creating a splendid scene
Although Su Chan is youthful and beautiful, she is definitely not as thin-skinned as a girl in her teens, and remains quite composed: "Don't change the subject."
Wang Xuan smiled and apologized while clasping his fists, as he walked with them into the vast lawn
His eagerness to speak immediately altered Wang Xuan's words: "Wherever you like and yearn for, it must already be bustling with activity."
It is not too late now; we are classmates and also friends, Wang Xuan said
Wang Xuan, come here!
Kong Yidun was instantly dumbfounded, and Wang Xuan was also left speechless
Recently, every time we meet, you praise me. First, you said I have a radiant glow, and today you even directly called me handsome, which makes me feel quite flattered and uneasy. You don't have any ill intentions towards me, do you
Haha
It is not too late; we will arrive just in time. Wang Xuan looked out of the car window
I am about to leave. I never felt much living here before, but now I suddenly feel a bit reluctant. Qin Cheng sighed, feeling empty inside
You dare to call me an alien, come, let me see if you have gained a significant amount of strength and made new breakthroughs in physical techniques; otherwise, be prepared to be dealt with by the three of us together
Kong Yi comes from Xinxing, and the reason for his enmity with Wang Xuan is primarily because he pursued Ling Wei when he enrolled, only for Wang Xuan to become Ling Wei's boyfriend
Upon hearing this, Qin Cheng was immediately amused. He had never pondered this before, but now, upon careful reflection, he realized that many of his classmates were indeed extraterrestrials.
The location of the gathering is not in the city. Qin Cheng drives smoothly and arrives at the hillside villa area outside the city, where the scenery is beautiful and one can overlook the entire city.
Qin Cheng immediately followed and stood together with Wang Xuan to face this person
At this moment, someone approached Wang Xuan, holding a crystal-clear wine glass, gently swirling it to release the fragrance of the fine wine
He clinked glasses with Kong Yi, and Qin Cheng also came over, stuffing a few pieces of beef into his mouth, and joined in the toast, saying: "It is indeed tastier than the beef from the Hulunbuir Grassland"
Not long after, Wang Xuan and Kong Yi, with their arms around each other's shoulders and the scent of alcohol on them, arrived at the lawn outside, instantly drawing the attention of a crowd. How could it be that the two of them could coexist peacefully?
"Wang Xuan, you are quite a nice person. To be honest, if it weren't for my pursuit of Ling Wei back then, your personality would really suit my taste. We might have even become friends," Kong Yi said with a slurred tongue.
Wang Xuan walked alongside him, and Qin Cheng, feeling uneasy, followed suit, concerned that something might go wrong
Wang Xuan understood their feelings, walked over and talked to them a lot, discussing the future. He truly felt regret for this group of classmates
However, many of the classmates who remained in the old land still feel quite lost. They have heard some rumors to varying degrees and already know that missing out on the new star means missing a favor from fate, as it seems that something extraordinary is happening there
A group of people was suddenly amused.
Isn't it too early for us to go over there now?" Qin Cheng asked
Ling Wei has not arrived yet; I estimate it will be a little later.
With so many people gathered together, it is naturally lively, with no barriers or estrangement
I can testify that Kong Yi indeed put in some effort to reconcile with Wang Xuan at the time of parting
However, the golden ginkgo trees and the fiery red maple trees lining the city streets are so brilliant and vibrant, providing a starkly contrasting sensation
His family is engaged in business, and their conditions are quite good. Several years ago, he already had his own car
As time passed, many people became intoxicated and their emotions heightened
Indeed, this deep-sea squid is something you have certainly never tasted; it is considered a rare specialty over in the New Star region
Even these two individuals have resolved their old grievances, and the atmosphere immediately became much more lively, as everyone exchanged cups and toasts, becoming somewhat intoxicated.
Qin Cheng drove to pick up Wang Xuan and left the campus
The three clink their glasses and drink it all in one go
Wang Xuan said: "When you rise, you will be able to freely travel between the old and the new places, and by then, everything will be a non-issue"
The door to the room was pushed open, and a group of people walked in, all laughing heartily
Although most of the classmates of the new star are quite low-key, some individuals have backgrounds and origins that are quite remarkable, making their choice to be here unsurprising
Li Qingzhu, who has always been quiet and possesses an air of scholarly elegance, also spoke, smiling: "I heard it too. You said we are aliens, but our ancestral home is on the old land, and this is also our hometown. How can we be considered aliens?"
Moreover, there are actually two helipads on this mountaintop
Along this stretch of road, ginkgo trees are interspersed with numerous maple trees, their fiery red leaves forming a continuous expanse, resembling a vast and passionate evening glow
Freshness is undoubtedly the freshest way to eat. After returning to New Star, I will give it a try as well Even the aloof Xu Wenbo smiled
She is naturally lively and energetic, standing tall and graceful. Beneath her short skirt, which slightly reveals her shoulders, her long and straight legs are fully displayed, embodying youthfulness and vitality.
In this season, the grass and trees begin to turn yellow, and most of the beautiful flowers have withered, fully revealing the desolation of autumn
As night falls, standing on this mountain allows one to overlook the nearby city, where the lights are dazzling and the night view is beautiful
