Act Six, Confusion, Wild Fruits, the Absurd Lies that Become Reality

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Ah ... ... good, good ... ...

As Chun Guo bid farewell to Hei Qi Liang, she left the teaching building, her head drooping like a wilted cucumber, walking listlessly towards the school gate. Suddenly, a frantic voice emerged from the auditorium by the roadside, capturing her attention.

Cang Konglin rubbed his shoulder, which had been hurt from the collision, and focused his gaze on the boy standing directly opposite him, suddenly widening his eyes in surprise.

Two girls were chattering excitedly at the vast sky

Spring Fruit turned his head and saw that Cang Konglin had already stood up from his seat, with a strange and unpredictable light flickering in his eyes.

"Just kidding!" Upon hearing Cang Kong Lin's words, Shi Chuncai let out a strange laugh, "Alright, since you are so eager to experience a sense of defeat, I will accompany you to the end! After all, I will absolutely not lose, hahahaha!"

Jiang Tingting turned her head and glared angrily at the newly appointed lead dancer, Xie Wanying

"Hehe, you seem to lack energy." Hei Qiliang stood in front of Chun Guo, noticing the forced smile on her face and the gentle concern pouring from his eyes. "Has Cang Konglin not yet arrived?"

Thank you ... ... '' The voice from behind the tree was filled with gratitude, `` You have done so much for the Firefly Forest, and I will certainly keep my promise to give you what you want, to help you complete your biological research project ''

Spring fruit

Upon witnessing this scene, the members of the dance club expressed their admiration with envy.

Xie Wanying and Jiang Tingting's dance has also reached its climax They spun and leaped rapidly on stage, eliciting waves of admiration and exclamations from the onlooking classmates

A single sentence from Chun Guo, devoid of intention, was akin to triggering a mechanism in the cold expanse of the sky, causing his movements to halt and the smile on his face to suddenly become somewhat rigid

As Jiang Tingting gradually diminished with the last note, she slowly raised one hand high above her head, giving a perfect curtain call for her dance

Cang Konglin was momentarily taken aback, then raised his head to look past Chun Guo's shoulder ahead. Two high school girls in white uniforms were happily running towards him.

It is Classmate Cang Kong Lin..." Zhu Lu greeted Cang Kong Lin listlessly, letting out a heavy sigh, "It's nothing, I just lost three games of chess in a row, and all to the same person. I feel a bit uncomfortable about it.

This tactic from the director is quite clever; it is essentially a roundabout way of asking us to write a self-reflection report

It was not until after school that Chun Guo finally let out a slight sigh of relief. She turned her head to look at the neatly arranged stationery on Cang Kong Lin's desk and the backpack stuffed into the desk, feeling downcast. The words she had spoken to Cang Kong Lin at noon echoed in her ears like muffled thunder, reverberating throughout the entire afternoon, making her heart feel as if it were wrapped in thick dark clouds, gloomy and devoid of sunlight.

Chun Guo was taken aback, and the anger in his heart became as complex as salt dropped into aged vinegar

However, soon after, Cang Konglin let out a gentle sigh, turned around and left without saying a word, as if Chun Guo were merely a stranger unrelated to him

Damn it ...? ... Why can't I let go? If Xie Wanying is rehearsing now, could it be that Cang Konglin is also in the auditorium ...? ...! ... Damn it? ! Chun Guo, do you want to run to the auditorium to witness once again their intimate moments? ? ! ... But ...? ... But I haven't seen Cang Konglin for two days, if he is in the auditorium, at least I can be sure he is safe, right ...? ...... But I haven't seen Cang Konglin for two days, if he is in the auditorium, at least I can be sure he is safe, right ...? ...

An unforgettable event, indeed? Speaking of which... it must be about my idol, the Asian flying man Liu Xiang! You know Liu Xiang, right? He is the pride of all Chinese people! When Xiao Mao won an award in his last competition, he shook hands with me, and I felt so lucky! The slender-armed and slender-legged Ding Xiaomao cupped his cheeks with both hands, revealing a shy smile reminiscent of a first love.

Seeing the reaction of Cang Konglin, Chun Guo felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over her, leaving her suddenly chilled. She was so angry that she could not speak, seizing the opportunity to snatch back her draft book, stuffing it into her backpack and zipping it up. Then, she grabbed her backpack and forcefully threw it over her shoulder, turning around to glare at Cang Konglin with fury before storming off.

Was it just my illusion? ... I always feel that when Senior He Qiliang talks about Cang Konglin, there seems to be a very complex emotion in his tone

At this moment on the stage, the members of the dance club stood aside, whispering in low voices. The president of the dance club stood in the center of the stage, at a loss, gazing at the frustrated former lead dancer Jiang Tingting and the imperious new lead dancer Xie Wanying, unsure of what to do.

I understand. The voice behind the tree sighed, "The fairy tale of 'Firefly Forest' from ten years ago should indeed come to an end..."

At this moment, Chun Guo was completely devoid of the mood to appreciate the splendid dance skills of the two main dancers of the dance club. She quietly turned her face to gaze in the direction of Cang Kong Lin, only to find that Cang Kong Lin was staring intently at the situation on stage, as if waiting for something.

Chun Guo felt as if her heart had been gently touched by something, and she unconsciously moved her eyebrows, raising her head to look at Hei Qi Liang

Wow! Cherry sister, are you a Taiko master? But my shoulders are not a drum! Alright, since you want me to put you down, then I will...

The president of the dance club found himself in a predicament as the two main dancers, one new and one old, were at odds with each other. He was at a loss for what to do, while the other members of the dance club exchanged glances, silently acknowledging the tension and choosing to remain silent.

Oh, congratulations. Upon hearing Tsai Kuo-fu's words, Chun Guo's expression became even more "stormy and tumultuous".

It turns out that Classmate Cang Kong Lin is the 'Muse' of Classmate Xie Wan Ying, truly a dreamlike combination

However, as they had just reached the floor where the Dance Club was located in the Student Affairs Comprehensive Building, Chun Guo was bumped into by an angry girl who rushed out, causing her to spin around in place.

The director's furious roar made Chun Guo tremble all over, and he quickly raised his pale face, shrinking his neck as he looked at the director, who had transformed into a Super Saiyan due to his anger, secretly preparing himself mentally for the worst.

"Do not worry..." At this point, the voice behind the tree became sorrowful, "She will never see the real 'Cang Kong Lin' again... If possible, I hope you can always be by her side. I only wish for her to find happiness; that is enough..."

I do not know... but Cang Kong Lin, I am already feeling a bit tired now. Although I am very happy that you have returned, this is already enough. I hope we can just be ordinary friends. I do not like my emotions constantly changing with your every move; it makes me feel like a fool. I feel like a puppet controlled by you, where you only need to move a finger to change my actions, and I have completely lost my freedom. I am afraid of this situation. Therefore, if possible, please do not come to find me during this time.

Prince! It is indeed the prince!

Splash!

That is not the case! Just before the midterm exams, I saw him playing basketball on the playground, having a great time! He certainly doesn't look like someone who is studying hard

Hahaha! With such a temperament, what right do you have to be the president! You might as well step down and let me take the position!" Shi Chuncai laughed heartily, tilting his head back in delight, while the surrounding classmates exchanged awkward and depressed glances, remaining silent.

Hahaha! I have won again! I have defeated all the members of the Go Club in a wheel battle! I am now the top player of the Firefly Go Club! Let's see if you dare to call me a rookie in the future! Let's see if you dare to make me sit on the bench in team competitions in the future! Hahaha!

Ah ... um ... "Cang Kong Lin hesitantly replied, nodding his head.

However, it is quite strange that so many students have recently emerged with rapid progress at the school...! Nevertheless, no matter what, one cannot expect eggs to break against stones; it is better to agree with the director first and then proceed!

Hearing Cang Konglin's words, Xie Wanying was momentarily taken aback

At this thought, Cang Konglin's gaze suddenly sharpened, and her complexion turned somewhat pale

"Eh? I, I am just a bit tired! It has nothing to do with him! Absolutely!" Heiqi Liang's words hit Chun Guo's sore spot precisely, and her face turned bright red as she desperately waved her hands. However, when she looked into Heiqi Liang's deep gaze, which seemed to penetrate the surface of the Earth, she was momentarily stunned, sighed, and lowered her head. "He hasn't shown up yet... I think he must be busy with something..." Her face was flushed as she desperately waved her hands, but looking at Heiqi Liang's profound eyes, which seemed to see through the surface of the Earth, she was unable to withstand it and was momentarily dazed, sighing and lowering her head. "He hasn't shown up yet... I think he must be busy with something..."

It was you who said that during this period, Cang Kong Lin should not seek you out! It was you who said that you were already tired and did not want to change your emotions according to his every move! ... It was you who said that being with Cang Kong Lin made you feel like a marionette on strings, devoid of freedom ... ... Therefore ... ... you must not be sad! Absolutely not! It was you who said that being with Cang Kong Lin made you feel like a marionette on strings, devoid of freedom ... ... Therefore ... ... you must not be sad! Absolutely not!

Honestly, that impulsive girl, Cherry, actually came up with such a grand lie about the "Wish Fruit" in the Firefly Forest... Although it is said to be for the protection of the forest, is this really effective...? This is terrible, my eyelids are twitching so badly, perhaps something unexpected is about to happen... Bang!

You big fool! Give it back to me! Hurry and give it back to me! Chun Guo jumped up from her seat as if she had been pricked in the backside by a cactus, frantically clawing at the draft book in Cang Kong Lin's hands

"Has something happened?" asked the voice from behind the tree with concern. Cang Kong Lin tilted her head back, resting the back of her head against the trunk, her eyes, bright as the morning star, shimmering with bewilderment and confusion

Chun Guo raised his head, confused as he took the document from the hands of the director of education, discovering it was a list of all the diligent students at the school over the past month

Hehe! How can I return it to you? I haven't finished reading it yet!" Cang Kong Lin, like a playful little kitten, held the draft book high, grinning mischievously as she winked at Chun Guo, "Sister Cherry, if I fall ill, it won't be worth it for you! I haven't fulfilled all your wishes yet!"

Well, advanced learning experience: balancing work and rest, "McDull, The Pork of Music"

At that moment, upon hearing those words, Cang Konglin raised an eyebrow slightly, continued to smile as he sorted the chess pieces by color and placed them back into the chess box, and then lifted his head to look at Shi Chuncai

Hey? Wait! Wait! Cang Kong Lin, what are you doing! I am already home!" Chun Guo turned around to look at the familiar community gate that was getting farther away from her, anxiously patting Cang Kong Lin's shoulder

Chun Guo grimaced in pain, looking up at the two girls with a puzzled expression, a multitude of question marks swirling in his mind

Wow!

Saying this, he extended his hand, uprooted a budding rose from the flowerbed beside him, and then violently threw it to the ground

You! How did you do it?! Impossible! This is impossible! No one can win against me at this time!

With a mind full of questions, during the morning break of the next day, Chun Guo, holding her thickly recorded notebook, headed towards the final stop of her interview journey—the dance club, while Cai Ke Fu closely followed her like an unremovable plaster.

We shall see

Wanying, I truly envy you

Moreover, who exactly is the person who ranked first in the grade? I have never heard of this individual before!

Hehe... Heiqiliang smiled faintly, a glimmer of an elusive light flashing in his eyes, "Perhaps it really does exist..."

Is this really his learning experience? It seems rather ordinary, doesn't it? As a student who is lagging behind, can such a study method truly enable him to achieve the top score in his grade within just one month? Or is it possible that he is deliberately withholding his true learning secrets from me because he does not want his classmates to know?

At this moment, he was sitting leisurely, about twenty seats away from Chun Guo, gazing at the stage above, watching the two girls in a fierce confrontation, with a charming smile playing on his lips

Chun Guo was taken aback, suddenly turning around to look in the direction of the sound. She discovered that Hei Qi Liang was walking towards her from the end of the corridor, his elegant posture and hair flowing in the wind made him appear like an angel descending gracefully from the night sky

Cang Kong Lin, who are they? Are they friends from your previous school?

Cang Kong Lin? ! '' Chun Guo raised her head and looked ahead, only to discover that at some point, Cang Kong Lin had actually taken a seat in front of her, turning around with a smile and looking at her, `` You ... ... how did you end up here? Weren't you supposed to be celebrating with that Xie Wanying over steak? ''

Cang Kong Lin? Upon seeing Cang Kong Lin, Shi Chun Cai coldly snorted dismissively, "Even the president of the Go club is not my opponent; what are you, an outsider, doing here to make a fuss?"

Just as Cang Kong Lin was muttering to himself in his mind, he was suddenly bumped hard on the shoulder by a classmate coming from the opposite direction

"No, it's nothing! I should also thank Senior Heiqi Liang for agreeing not to expose my lies! Hahaha!" Chun Guo was taken aback for a moment, then shyly scratched her head and laughed foolishly. However, she soon deflated and let out a long sigh, murmuring gloomily to herself, "But... if only there really were 'Wish Fruits' in this world, then I wouldn't have so many worries..."

I will not lose! It is impossible for me to lose!

Sorry, Director... I will remember your guidance and study hard.

I understand. "Cang Kong let out a deep sigh, his gaze seemingly able to see through everything, full of brilliance. "I will investigate this matter thoroughly. I feel that this issue is very likely to affect the safety of this forest, as well as Cherry Blossom Sister..."

Upon hearing Xie Wanying's announcement, Chun Guo was taken aback. She raised her head and looked again towards the dance club, only to find that amidst the astonished exclamations of her classmates, Cang Kong Lin, like a prince on a white horse, gracefully approached Xie Wanying from a corner of the classroom, holding a bouquet of fresh flowers and charmingly smiling as he presented the flowers to her

"Tchaikovsky, stop making noise, I am fine." Chun Guo gently rubbed her slightly sore shoulder and glanced at the figure disappearing at the end of the corridor, frowning in confusion.

Recently, the school has indeed been somewhat strange, as a sudden influx of previously underperforming students has emerged as outstanding achievers. These newly recognized excellent students were all previously unknown within the school, yet for some unknown reason, they have made rapid progress in various fields within a short period, even ranking among the top! In this midterm examination, the boy who ranked first in the first year of high school is also in a similar situation

What do you plan to do?

Thinking of this, Chun Guo secretly made up her mind, wiped away the tears on her face with the back of her hand, picked up her schoolbag, and went after Xie Wanying.

On Friday, inside the Student Affairs Comprehensive Building, Cang Konglin had just evaded a group of girls chasing after him for his phone number. With his hands clasped behind his head, he sighed helplessly while reminiscing about a conversation he had on Monday morning with Chun Guo, who was gazing at a gardenia flower on his desk.

"Senior lost the game?" Upon hearing Zhu Lu's words, Cang Konglin raised his eyebrows in surprise, "But aren't you the highest-ranked player in our school's Go club? Is there really someone who is even better than you?"

Two strong currents of air collided on the stage, and a thick smell of gunpowder instantly filled the entire auditorium

Under the name of 'Cang Kong Lin'? Cang Kong Lin smiled helplessly, 'Although you have always been unwilling to tell me why you want me to impersonate 'Cang Kong Lin' to meet with Chun Guo, once this matter is over, I will reveal all the truths to her. I am not sure if she will be able to accept it after knowing everything, but I feel that I can no longer interact with her under the name of Cang Kong Lin... I hope that whether she is smiling or feeling sad, what she sees is the real me, not the impersonation of 'Cang Kong Lin'. I am not sure if she will be able to accept it after knowing everything, but I feel that I can no longer interact with her under the name of Cang Kong Lin... I hope that whether she is smiling or feeling sad, what she sees is the real me, not the impersonation of 'Cang Kong Lin'.

The principal said, opening a nearby cabinet and pulling out a photo. After examining it for a moment, he handed it to Heiqi Liang and said, "This is a group photo of me and all the contestants from last year's biology quiz competition between our school and Minghe Middle School. There's a boy in the middle who looks a lot like this person named Cang Konglin."

Congratulations, classmate Xie Wanying, on becoming the lead dancer in this school ballet performance. May I ask what is the secret to your remarkable progress in such a short period of time?

"Hehe, what, do you lack the confidence to win against me?" Cang Kong Lin smiled dismissively.

President, please give me an explanation! Haven't I always been the lead dancer of the Dance Club? Why was it changed to Xie Wanying!

Ah, speaking of this... my father was quite an athletic talent in college, and he even participated in the National University Games... My mother was also skilled in discus throwing... Therefore, their expectations of me are certainly very strict!" Ding Xiaomao said, while his toes kept drawing circles on the ground.

From elementary school until now, although academic performance has never been my strong suit, I have always had my parents, who are middle school teachers, to guide me, so my grades, no matter how poor, have at least been in the middle of the class! However, in this exam, I actually ranked among the bottom eighty in my grade! It seems that to become a messenger of justice and to save the Firefly Forest, one must indeed pay a painful price. Just then, Chun Guo suddenly furrowed her brows and glanced at the red list posted on the wall opposite her.

"It's nothing, this is all the result of my diligent practice; quantitative change leads to qualitative change," Xie Wanying replied with a smile, unreservedly. "By the way, I actually owe my achievements today to someone else as well, that person is the 'Muse' who has inspired and motivated me!"

The roar of the head teacher stunned all the students in the office, and everyone hung their heads looking at their shoes, yet their eyes were still restlessly darting around.

"Very good, Chun Guo, you are a smart student. I believe you will accomplish what you just said." At this point, the stern expression on the director's face relaxed slightly. He took a folder from his desk, flipped through a stack of documents, and handed them to Chun Guo, "Chun Guo, please distribute this document to the other students here"

By the wall of the teaching office, Tsai Ke-fu was completely immersed in a halo of happiness. He turned to look at the list of the "Bottom 100 Students in the First Year Midterm Exam" posted on the wall behind him, wiping away his tears with excitement

At this moment, outside the dance club's classroom, Chun Guo recalled the words that Cang Kong Lin had once said to her. Like a frenzied cat, her ten fingers pressed hard against the glass window, leaving ten white marks on it that resembled tear stains.

The last sentence left Xie Wanying frozen in place as if she had been doused with a large amount of cement

Having finished speaking, Cang Konglin patted Zhu Lu on the shoulder, confidently lifting one corner of his mouth, and walked straight towards the entrance of the Go club

A gigolo is just a gigolo, flirting everywhere, truly the enemy of women! Don't you think so, Chun Guo darling?" Tsai Ke-fu stood by, seizing the opportunity to fan the flames without reservation, but only received an angry punch from Chun Guo in return

My "Muse" is class 258's Cang Kong Lin!

Oh dear, it's no wonder; the movements just now were too difficult! If it were me, I would have fallen behind long ago. It is quite impressive that Wan Ying was able to reach this level! However, Senior Jiang Tingting is still remarkable, as she managed to execute that movement so smoothly!

On the stage, the onlooking members of the dance club applauded enthusiastically for the brilliant performance of Jiang Tingting and Xie Wanying just now

Cang Kong Lin? Hey, why did you take it upon yourself to change our prince's name to 'Cang Kong Lin'?

Indeed! I heard from the dean that you are temporarily taking a leave of absence from school. We all miss you so much!

Oh my God! I actually dropped more than 100 places in this exam, and together with Cai Kefo and the Four Little Swans, we were called in by the head teacher, as part of the "bottom of the grade army" to be punished at the disciplinary station

As she thought of this, Chun Guo felt a surge of breath in her chest and quickened her pace forward. However, after just a few steps, her heart seemed to be tightly bound by the lights in the auditorium, causing her to involuntarily slow down. She hesitated, biting her lip, her gaze oscillating violently like colliding currents of air.

The other students standing side by side against the wall, like Chun Guo and Cai Ke Fu, seemed to share the same confusion as Chun Guo at this moment, all leaning forward and whispering to each other

Prince! Where have you been all this time

Oh? Spring Fruit Baby, this has nothing to do with me! It's all that pretty boy's fault...

Cang Konglin's elegantly raised lips twitched awkwardly for a moment. She turned to glance at Xie Wanying, who was tightly holding onto her arm, and then looked out at the "thunder god's face" outside the window. Embarrassed, she scratched the back of her head and let out a weak sigh.

Oh no... I have a very bad feeling

Hey! You little brat! Are you trying to get yourself killed? You bumped into Chun Guo and you dare not to apologize!" Tsai Ke-fu waved his fist at the figure that was running away, still cursing until it turned around.

Spring fruit, look!

Amidst the cacophony of discussions, Chun Guo stood there dejectedly, lost in thought, resembling a small boat being pushed by surging waves

Sigh... Zhu Lu pushed his glasses, which had slid down to the tip of his nose, and said listlessly, "You know about the recent rumors regarding the 'progressive students' at school, right?"

I... I lost... I actually lost! How is this possible?!

A bolt of lightning struck down upon the head of the director, turning his face as dark as a coffin lid

By the way, there is also the boy I met on the mountain that day, with his pale and melancholic gaze, and that familiar smile that brought me warmth... Huh... Is there perhaps something in between that I am unaware of?

It's nothing. By the way, I still need to go to the biology club to take care of some matters, so I will leave first

You students... even if your grades are poor, that is one thing. Yet, you still show such a lack of restraint! In this midterm exam, several previously underperforming students from your grade have made it into the top one hundred! Why don't you learn from them more?

In the classroom, the students looked at each other in astonishment

Well... indeed, there is a bit. This afternoon, I made Chun Guo angry. When she told me not to look for her anymore, I felt as if my heart had been hollowed out for some reason. Chun Guo said that her mood always changes with my every move, but am I not the same? I don't know when it started, but when I see her happy, I feel like I am even happier than she is, and when I see her sad, I feel a heart-wrenching pain... What is wrong with me? Why have I become like this? I feel like I have never been as pathetic as I am now. I don't know when it started, but when I see her happy, I feel like I am even happier than she is, and when I see her sad, I feel a heart-wrenching pain... What is wrong with me? Why have I become like this? I feel like I have never been as pathetic as I am now...

She paused for a moment and turned to look in the direction of the auditorium, discovering that the lights were still on inside the auditorium

In Jiang Tingting's victory declaration, which was filled with the scent of gunpowder, her match with Xie Wanying came to an end. The president, noticing the tense atmosphere between Jiang Tingting and Xie Wanying, had no choice but to dissolve the club's amateur rehearsal early, advising everyone to return home soon

However, this student indeed stated that he transferred from Jing Shan Middle School to Firefly Middle School, Hei Qi Liang relentlessly countered the principal's words

Xie Wanying and Jiang Tingting's gazes collided fiercely in mid-air, and then, they simultaneously rose on their tiptoes, beginning to leap, swirl, tiptoe, and stroll gracefully in the center of the classroom, resembling two noble princesses by the Swan Lake

Chun Guo arrived outside the auditorium, peering cautiously inside for a moment. Then, along the edge of the auditorium's aisle, he walked quietly to the seating area near the stage, choosing the most inconspicuous spot to sit down.

That big fool ... ... what on earth is he doing ? !

Sunshine, dew, starlight, rose

"Has something happened?" asked a voice from behind the tree, filled with concern. Cang Konglin tilted his head back, resting the back of his head against the trunk, his eyes, bright as the morning star, shimmering with bewilderment and confusion

"Speaking of which, many strange occurrences have taken place recently at Firefly Middle School," Cang Kong Lin recalled something, and her expression became somewhat serious. "Some students' grades have inexplicably soared at school. I conducted an investigation and happened to hear from a classmate that there is a type of 'Wish Fruit' in this forest, and consuming this fruit can fulfill their wishes. Some students who have eaten this fruit even established an underground organization called 'Wild Fruit Society.' However, the 'Wish Fruit' is merely a lie propagated by the Spring Fruit, intended to protect the Firefly Forest... Could it be that this strange fruit truly exists? Or is someone taking advantage of this opportunity?"

In the dance studio, the students are standing gracefully in their practice attire, while at the focal point of their gaze, a petite girl is smiling confidently, surrounded by several campus reporters holding recording pens

It is not surprising that you would have such feelings... The voice behind the tree gently sighed, "Cherry is kind, gentle, and lovely. Even if I only spent a short time with her, I couldn't help but be drawn to her... Ah, I'm sorry, I seem to have forgotten to tell you that I met Cherry last weekend on the mountain."

Cang Konglin pondered in confusion over what Shi Chuncai had just said, and when he lowered his head to look at the ground, he discovered a small red fruit that had fallen there, its bright red hue shimmering with an enticing glow

The members are gathering in the middle of the classroom, their expressions heavy as they gaze in one direction. Suddenly, in the midst of the crowd, a burst of arrogant laughter erupts

Alright

Wasn't that girl just now... Jiang Tingting, a senior from the dance club? She is usually so quiet, how could she suddenly be so excited?

She bit her lip tightly, desperately reminding herself to control her emotions, but the tears still fell like raindrops after thunder, large droplets dripping from her reddened eyes onto her school uniform skirt, staining it with patches of deep blue melancholy

Enough with the nonsense! Let's get started!

Where has Cang Kong Lin gone? Could it be that my words today were too excessive, and he got angry and left, not wanting to see me again? Will he, once again, disappear without a word like he did ten years ago?

Hehe, interesting. At the corner of the street, Hei Qi Liang watched Cang Kong Lin disappear at the end of the street. A somber smile, akin to a moonless night, appeared on his intellectual face. "Cang Kong Lin, no matter who you truly are, and regardless of your purpose in stopping the school from constructing the new stadium... I swear, anyone who obstructs me from executing my plans will end up like this flower..."

Cang Konglin suddenly raised his voice, interrupting the conversation between the two girls, causing them to widen their eyes in surprise as they looked at him

Classmate Heiqi Liang, there is no student by the name of 'Cang Konglin' at our school. The principal took the information and photo of Cang Konglin from Heiqi Liang's hands, frowned as he looked at them for a moment, and then shook his head in response

Since Chun Guo and Cang Kong Lin parted ways in the self-study room, Cang Kong Lin did not return to the classroom for the entire afternoon. In order to respond to classmates and teachers inquiring about Cang Kong Lin's whereabouts, Chun Guo nearly exhausted all her imagination to concoct reasons for Cang Kong Lin's absence

Thank you, Principal

Uh... Zhu Lu was taken aback, his face turned as pale as paper, and he awkwardly turned around, leaving the clubroom in a huff.

The happiest summer seems to have ended prematurely

Sigh ... ? ... At this point, saying anything to him is probably useless, right? The words I said to him yesterday at noon must have broken his heart; he must really hate me now ... ? Even if I were to apologize to him, he probably wouldn't forgive me, would he? ... ... ... Since that's the case ...

What?

What’s wrong? Have you lost your confidence

Chun Guo's heart was racing in her chest, and she desperately pondered what she could say to Cang Kong Lin at this moment, her mind felt like a computer operating at high speed, causing her to feel a surge of heat!

fifteen minutes later

"Pah! Ding Xiaomao! We are all part of the sports club, do you think this is the first day I met you? Your dad is shorter than you, and he gets out of breath just carrying two scallions up the stairs! Your mom is indeed strong, but she clearly sells fried dough sticks at the market; when did she switch to discus throwing?" Tsai Kefo reemerged from behind Chun Guo, exposing Ding Xiaomao's truth. Your mom is indeed strong, but she clearly sells fried dough sticks at the market; when did she switch to discus throwing?" Tsai Kefo reemerged from behind Chun Guo, exposing Ding Xiaomao's truth.

Hold on! Chun Guo, hold on!

After the two girls left, Cang Konglin carried Chun Guo to the entrance of the community, gently ruffled Chun Guo's hair, offered a few words of comfort, and then hurriedly turned and left

Ding dong ding dong—ding dong ding dong

The four little swans exchanged a glance and sighed helplessly

However, you can rest assured that I will continue with our agreement. Furthermore, I will do my utmost to protect this forest" Cang Kong Lin firmly promised.

You big fool! There's no need to take me back! Let me down! Let me down!

At this moment, not far from the entrance of the Chun Guo residential area, a figure emerged from the shadows of a wall at a street corner, gazing intently at the retreating back of Cang Kong Lin, a scene unfolding in the figure's mind—the principal's office of Jing Shan Middle School.

Are the members of the dance club rehearsing in the auditorium? ... I just seemed to hear someone mention "Xie Wanying" ...? ... Is something happening?

Ah... is it Senior He Qiliang..." A small soap bubble wrapped in hope burst in Chun Guo's heart, and her voice sounded somewhat dispirited

By the way, has the matter of the 'Wish Fruit' progressed smoothly? Heikui Liang seemed unconcerned by Chun Guo's probing gaze, smiling as he asked, "Chun Guo, you actually came up with such a creative idea to protect the Firefly Forest, that's impressive!"

At this moment, in contrast to Tchaikovsky's clamor, Chun Guo, standing beside him, was cold to the touch, as if plunged into an ice cave, with a pale complexion.

Upon hearing Cang Konglin's words, Chun Guo widened her eyes in surprise as her heart transformed into a giant question mark

next to the playground

Like last night, after school, Chun Guo did not return home immediately. Instead, he stayed alone in the classroom to do his homework, waiting until after 9 PM. However, the outcome was exactly the same as last night—Cang Kong Lin did not appear in the classroom.

Hmph! In any case, you are only with me to fulfill your promise!

The red list displays the names of the top fifty students from each grade, and in the first-year high school ranking, her "allied warrior" in protecting the Firefly Forest, Cang Kong Lin, surprisingly ranks second in the grade, only one point behind the first place!

"Impossible! I cannot lose! How could I possibly lose?!" Shi Chuncai suddenly went into a frenzy, grabbing pieces from the chess box and throwing them all over the floor. "I understand now! It must be... I haven't eaten enough... That's right! As long as I eat a little more! There will definitely be no problem!"

"Hehe! Cherry sister, although your angry expression is not very attractive, it is quite cute!" Sora Rin squatted in front of Chun Guo, grinning mischievously as he looked at her.

Oh? Ah... this...

Drawing on the experience from the previous interview with Li Abing, Chun Guo adopted a guiding approach to pose questions to Ding Xiaomao, who transformed from being the underperformer of the school athletics team into the "treasure of the team".

What are you laughing at? You are purely jealous!

How infuriating, this guy actually threw the problem back at me! ... I wonder why Sora Rin is looking for me ...? ... Yes, Sora Rin should just be my best friend, right? He came back to fulfill a promise, and whatever he wants to do with Xie Wanying has nothing to do with me, right? Why am I so angry ...? I have no right or position to criticize him ... ... Thinking of this, the anger in Haruka's eyes gradually extinguished like being doused by heavy rain, she lowered her head, her shoulders drooping weakly. Why am I so angry ...? I have no right or position to criticize him ... ... Thinking of this, the anger in Haruka's eyes gradually extinguished like being doused by heavy rain, she lowered her head, her shoulders drooping weakly.

The words of the head teacher left Chun Guo speechless, completely at a loss for how to argue back

Shut up! You stinky boys are all a bunch of big fools

Bang

"Cherry Sister, weren't you the one who just said I shouldn't escort you back? I am merely trying to make amends for the mistake I made!" Cang Kong Lin explained with a mischievous smile, enduring the rain-like slaps falling on his shoulder with one eye closed.

Nonsense! Li Abing, stop pretending! Clearly, I saw you buying tickets to watch "McDull, The Pork of Music" at the cinema entrance last weekend! Cai Kefo, who claims to be the "number one idol of Firefly Middle School" and is also known as the "number one follower of Chun Guo," suddenly appeared behind Chun Guo, indignantly poking his head out to point at Li Abing and expose him.

This is a wild strawberry ... ? ... How could it have fallen from Shi Chuncai's clothes ... ? He just said, "If you eat more, it will be fine" ... ... Could it be that his chess skills have something to do with this wild strawberry?

"Hehe, Chun Guo is indeed quite honest!" Seeing Chun Guo's flustered expression, Hei Qi Liang couldn't help but chuckle, "But you don't need to worry too much about Cang Kong Lin. Although he usually appears indifferent to everything, it is often the case that such people are the most unpredictable when it comes to their actions!"

Standing before Cang Kong Lin at this moment is Zhu Lu, the president of the school's Go club, who is also a recent acquaintance of Cang Kong Lin.

At this thought, Chun Guo's heart felt as if it were tightly gripped by a hand, a dull ache surging within.

Xie Wanying took the handkerchief from Cang Konglin, raised her head, and looked at him with a mix of tension and anxiety, as if she were arguing about something, speaking in an agitated tone.

The compassion of the head teacher made Chun Guo feel even more ashamed. She lowered her head and quietly reflected on herself, saying, "Recently... I have indeed been neglectful in my studies, but I will work hard to catch up on my homework."

Who knows ... ...

Three to four days have passed in the blink of an eye

Well... well... one must occasionally balance work and rest...

Just as Chun Guo fell into deep thought, a burst of lively noise came from the dance club's activity room

"Who is the God of Muses?" the campus reporters clamored with questions.

Cang Kong Lin, you this ... ...

Classmate Shi Chuncai ... ... At the outer edge of the crowd, Zhu Lu, the president of the Go club, who had turned back with Cang Kong Lin, interrupted his arrogant laughter with a slightly trembling voice. The classmates in front of him turned aside upon hearing his voice, making way for him. He walked up to Shi Chuncai and said, "Your rapid progress is certainly a good thing, but Go is an art without end; being too proud is not advisable"

I am not quite sure either. The voice behind the tree became somewhat heavy, "Over the years, Maoshan has built many factories and housing, and the taste of the soil and air on the mountain has changed significantly. The animals and plants that have always grown on Maoshan have also become somewhat different from before... Therefore, I am not too sure whether the kind of fruit you mentioned exists, but I have noticed that recently, students from Yinghuo Middle School often come to the top of the mountain, searching for something in the woods.

The two girls, upon hearing Chun Guo's words, argued loudly in anger

Shasha shasha shasha - shasha shasha shasha

I do not believe it! Xie Wanying was originally of average talent and was hardly noticeable in the society! How could she suddenly surpass me? President, I request a fair competition between Xie Wanying and me, to determine our standings openly in front of everyone! The winner will take on the role of the lead dancer!

The commotion outside the dance studio caught Cang Konglin's attention. He was momentarily taken aback, raised his head, and looked out the window, only to find a face resembling a frenzied thunder god, dark and clouded, glaring fiercely at him, with eyes occasionally shooting bolts of anger like lightning at him

Upon hearing Tchaikovsky's words, the other students who were standing against the wall together could not help but chuckle softly.

However, the campus that evening seemed destined to be anything but peaceful

Indeed, there will come a day when you will meet again, right? By then, I will no longer be 'Cang Kong Lin' and can retire after achieving success. 'Cang Kong Lin' let out a self-deprecating hum, saying, 'I have never regretted anything as much as accepting your request to spend the entire summer with Chun Guo as 'Cang Kong Lin'. This is truly insane; at that time, I completely failed to consider the possible consequences. Perhaps this will be one of my greatest missteps in this lifetime.

She sniffed at the sour and spicy air, turned her head, and discovered that Xie Wanying seemed to have gone mad, jumping off the stage without even changing her dance shoes, baring her teeth as she rushed towards the auditorium door

It is unclear how much time has passed, as the music gradually approaches its conclusion

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! I will not lose... I absolutely will not lose!

The image of Cang Konglin and Xie Wanying standing closely together flashed in Chun Guo's mind, and once again a warning red "well" erupted on her forehead

She sighed, took out her phone, and called her father, saying that she needed to finish her homework in the classroom before going home. Then she stuffed her backpack back into the drawer of her desk, took the books out of her backpack and placed them on the desk, picked up a pen, and absentmindedly began to do her homework

"Are you referring to the recent rumors about the emergence of many advanced students in the school?" Cang Kong Lin asked, puzzled

I will definitely achieve it! Believe me, in the next competition against Jiang Tingting, I will surely win over her! I will definitely reclaim the position of the lead performer!

The sound of a drop

Chun Guo turned her head, gazing at the deep and profound silhouette of Hei Qi Liang in the darkness. A thick sense of confusion spread within her heart, much like the night sky that was slowly expanding at that moment.

The vast sky is cold— I will not let you go!

Cang Konglin furrowed her brows as she bent down to pick up the fruit, carefully examining it while secretly pondering:

Indeed, Wan Ying used to be very timid, but recently her personality has become somewhat flamboyant, and even Ting Ting has been acting strangely today, as if she is under a spell...

Chun Guo did not dare to look back at the expression on Cang Kong Lin's face at that moment. She steeled her heart, tightened the straps of her backpack, and quickly dashed out of the self-study room, running towards the classroom without looking back. ... Only Cang Kong Lin remained, standing dazed in the empty self-study classroom like a marionette that had lost its guiding string ...

Amidst the chaotic discussions of the classmates, the president of the dance club let out a helpless sigh, turned around, and walked to the speaker placed beside the stage, pressing the play button.

Xie Wanying sat there in a daze, her eyes wide open staring at the ground, her lips moving continuously as if she were saying something, yet no sound escaped her lips

However, Xie Wanying was not moved by Jiang Tingting's perfect performance; instead, she covered her ankle and screamed frantically.

I said it! How could Tsai Ke-fu, this hopeless case, possibly improve his grades

Chun Guo thought about biting her lip, then took the note back, stuffed it into her clothing pocket, and let out a long sigh, feeling as if a large piece of egg was stuck in her throat, causing a painful and sour sensation.

However, you can rest assured that I will continue with our agreement. Furthermore, I will do my utmost to protect this forest" Cang Kong Lin firmly promised.

Where did it come from

Dear Li Abing, congratulations on achieving the first place in the midterm examination for your grade. May I ask how you have progressed from being at the lower end of the grade rankings to this level?

Cang Konglin glanced at a corner of a draft book protruding from Chun Guo's backpack, suddenly stood up abruptly, reached out to pull the book out, and opened it in front of herself

"I apologize, she is my friend. Please do not speak to her like that," said Cang Kong Lin as he reached down to lift Chun Guo from the ground, cradling her gently in his arms as if she were a princess. He then looked up at the two flustered girls and added, "If possible, please do not tell anyone else that you saw me here. Thank you"

At this moment, in the office of the Firefly Middle School, a different scene was unfolding

Why did Cang Kong Lin say that these two girls from Ming and Zhong High School are his classmates? Why do the girls call him Prince and say that I gave Cang Kong Lin a random name? Also, why can't Cang Kong Lin blow a grass whistle on the Ferris wheel just now? That day by the artificial river, why did Cang Kong Lin seem to forget the words he once said to me... Speaking of which, although I am very happy that Cang Kong Lin has returned, as I spend more time with him, my confusion about him is also increasing... Is it because over the past ten years, some things about Cang Kong Lin have changed? Speaking of which, although I am very happy that Cang Kong Lin has returned, as I spend more time with him, my confusion about him is also increasing... Is it because over the past ten years, some things about Cang Kong Lin have changed? Why do I always have a vague feeling that he seems to be somewhat different from before!

Is it really such people who break the record? How disillusioning... Chun Guo lowered her head, a black line hanging down, and lightly coughed twice to interrupt the incessantly chattering infatuated person: "I apologize, Ding Xiaomao, I would like to know about the most unforgettable experience you had while training hard."

But hasn't the plan to destroy the Firefly Forest already been postponed

Chun Guo, excluding the interference of Tsai Kuo-fu, was quickly recording the words spoken by Li A-bing in his notebook, but the speed of the pen moving across the paper gradually slowed down

The explanation from the head of the teaching department once again ignited a wave of laughter among the "tail-end army" in the teaching office, and the sound surged like a more tumultuous tide

Classmate Jiang Tingting, you have indeed always been the lead dancer of the dance club, and your skills are well recognized by everyone. However, in recent times, Wan Ying has made remarkable progress, and everyone feels that... her dancing has already surpassed yours, so...

Never mind, never mind. In the past few days, many people at school have been acting a bit strange, even that fool Sora Rin is like this... Since yesterday afternoon, he disappears as soon as class is over, and even when school ends, he leaves in a hurry without saying a word. I wonder what he is so busy with?... "That's great! Let's all congratulate classmate Xie Wanying!"

After speaking, a faint sinister smile appeared at the corner of Shi Chuncai's mouth. He suddenly slammed the table and ran out of the Go club classroom, shouting as he dashed towards the end of the corridor

Wait a minute, why am I so concerned about Xie Wanying and the dance club? Their matters have nothing to do with me!

"A competition? Isn't this idea quite interesting?" A voice suddenly broke the heavy atmosphere in the auditorium, causing everyone to look in surprise at the figure sitting in the central seat of the second row below the stage.

As Chun Guo distributed documents to the other students, a drop of cold sweat trickled down his forehead.

Did you not hear what Senior Zhu Lu just said? Go is an endless game... Shi Chuncai, you have lost

"What a pity." Cang Konglin stepped onto the stage, crouched down in front of Xie Wanying, and handed her a handkerchief, "You were just a little bit away from winning against her, weren't you?"

Upon thinking of this, the excitement that surged in Chun Guo's heart upon hearing Cang Kong Lin's voice gradually transformed into a lament, drowning her heart in a painful ache

As night falls, the classroom of Class 258 in the dimly lit Firefly High School remains illuminated by bright white lights. Meanwhile, under the towering camphor tree at the mountain's peak, Cang Konglin sits quietly alone, leaning against the trunk with one leg bent, gazing up at the branches and leaves of the camphor tree swaying gently above him.

As the self-hypnosis came to an end, Chun Guo turned to gaze at the brightly lit auditorium, took a deep breath, and quickly changed direction, flying towards the auditorium.

Jiang Tingting cast a disdainful glance at Xie Wanying, who was petrified on stage, and then proudly left the stage

Classmate Cang Konglin truly embodies the standard of a prince charming, not only did he pick up Xie Wanying after school yesterday afternoon, but they also went to school together this morning

But suddenly, Xie Wanying let out a startled cry, protecting her ankle and crouching down

Just as Chun Guo was deeply immersed in endless sorrow, a mad shout suddenly awakened her.

Yes, yes! Who are you! Our prince is...

Ah—I've seen it! Cherry sister, you are truly heartless! You actually cursed my steak to spoil! And cursed me to have diarrhea! Do you really dislike me being with Xie Wanying this much?

Cang Kong Lin, I have already devised a new battle plan to protect the Firefly Forest

Wow! Prince! How did you end up here

Where on earth did this guy come from? How did I not see him just now? However, speaking of it, Ding Xiaomao's success story is not only strange, but his physique and personality are also truly hard to imagine; he is actually the "treasure of the school athletics team"... Yet, the incredible events unfolded like a series of toppled dominoes, unstoppable once set in motion

"Hehe, it seems that Cherry Girl really cares about this matter!" Sora Rin, as if grasping Chun Guo's little braid, placed her hands on the table in front of Chun Guo, resting her chin on her arms, and looked at Chun Guo with a triumphant smile, "Just now, I saw Cherry Girl's eyes were blazing with fire in the dance club. If I really went to eat steak with Xie Wanying, you might get so angry that you would curse me, right?"

Although I despise the day the midterm exam results are announced, I am particularly excited today! Five years! Five years! After my relentless efforts, Chun Guo has finally stood side by side with me!" Saying this, Cai Ke Fu turned his head and looked affectionately at Chun Guo, who was standing beside him against the wall, "Chun Guo! Did you see the ranking of the results?!"

It is too late; I have already let Tsai Ke Fu and the Four Little Swans announce the news

During the lunch break, Cang Kong Lin indeed took Xie Wan Ying to a high-end steakhouse outside the school to enjoy premium steak, while Chun Guo sat alone in the empty self-study room of the library, looking like a witch casting the most malicious curse in the world, her face filled with dark energy as she drew terrifying "runes" in the draft book attached to her pencil case.

I lack confidence? How is that possible! Xie Wanying proudly raised her chin, her eyes sparkling as she stared directly at Jiang Tingting. Since that's the case, let's have a competition. If I lose, I will return the position of the lead dancer to you.

Senior Zhu Lu, how are you?

Yes, indeed! Wan Ying is also excellent! It's just a pity about the last move...

Well... don't be anxious just yet, I actually have something here that reminds me of this boy

Wow, they truly are a golden boy and a jade girl; Xie Wanying and Cang Konglin seem so well-matched together

Hehe, indeed. "Cang Konglin chuckled self-deprecatingly, letting out a soft sigh, "It seems that things have become a bit complicated... Perhaps, I can no longer fulfill our agreement.

Since Chun Guo learned from Cang Kong Lin about the greater dangers lurking in the "Firefly Forest," he has been contemplating how to completely restore safety to the "Firefly Forest"

Hehe, of course. Your father and I are old friends, such a small request is nothing.

Um, why do you think that guy became the top student in his grade

You must not regret it

"Huh? Senior, what did you just say?" Chun Guo came to her senses, surprised, and stared at Hei Qi Liang with wide eyes.

Hahaha! So that's how it is!

Thank you, senior. I will continue to work hard

Chun Guo's face turned bright red, tightly clenching her fists and glaring at Cai Ke Fu, yet she could not utter a single word of rebuttal

This is it, Zhu Lu dejectedly slumped his shoulders, "The Go club has also produced such a 'progressive player'... A guy who used to have a crude level of skill has just defeated many experts in the club consecutively, and now he is challenging other members... I just lost to him as well."

Chun Guo was taken aback, feeling as if she had been struck by a heavy hammer, leaving her completely stunned. The gradually receding footsteps of Cang Kong Lin felt like needles piercing her heart, causing her to experience waves of excruciating pain.

Merely postponing is not sufficient; it must be completely canceled to be thorough

"Wait a moment, Cherry!" Suddenly, Haruka's arm was grabbed by Sora. Sora looked at Haruka, who was panting heavily out of anger, and smiled faintly, "If it weren't to fulfill a promise to find you, what would you hope I would come to find you for?"

Jiang Tingting raised the corners of her mouth triumphantly and let out a cold snort at Xie Wanying

Lin, thank you! I accept your invitation, but I want to have premium steak!" Xie Wanying shyly half-concealed her face behind the flowers, raising her eyes to gaze affectionately at Cang Kong Lin.

Indeed, it was correct; the person who just spoke was none other than Cang Kong Lin

Chun Guo and Cai Ke Fu exchanged puzzled glances and quickened their pace to the outside of the dance classroom, peering inside through a closed transparent glass window

Just as Chun Guo was fuming with anger, her face flushed red and covering her painfully bruised bottom, preparing to unleash a tirade towards the sky, two surprised voices suddenly rang out behind her

Haha! I plan to grandly launch the 'Firefly Forest Wish Fruit'! Humanity has always held a sense of reverence for myths and legends. As long as I release the news that there is 'Wish Fruit' on the mountain, which can fulfill everyone's wishes when eaten, I believe more people will join the ranks of protecting the Firefly Forest! At that time, the cancellation of the new sports field plan for the school will be just around the corner!

Haha! Haha! It seems that Tchaikovsky is even happier. "Chunguobao, you must have seen it, my idol has finally escaped from the shame of being the last in the grade! The heavens have eyes! My efforts have finally paid off! My grades have finally made a significant leap towards Chunguobao!"

Xie Wanying smiled mysteriously with her lips pressed together, and suddenly, with graceful movements, raised one arm to point to the side

However, just as the discussions among everyone grew louder, the high-pitched and serious voice of the director of instruction resonated at the entrance of the instructional office

Cang Konglin was speaking when the arms supporting Chun Guo's feet suddenly relaxed, causing Chun Guo to fall heavily to the ground like a lead ball

Having finished speaking, Heiqi Liang gracefully inclined his body towards Chun Guo, and then left at a leisurely pace

"Oh? Didn't you say that you are quite passionate about dancing? I thought you wouldn't mind another opportunity for a little exchange and sparring!" Jiang Tingting gathered her excited emotions, smiled charmingly, her lips curling like a thorny rose.

Hello, has he gone mad

"Hehe, that may not be the case." Cang Kong Lin smiled without revealing any emotion, taking a black stone from the chess box and placing it on the empty chessboard

Ah... this is nothing special, I have just been particularly diligent and hardworking during this period, sacrificing sleep and engaging in late-night study, rising with the rooster..." Li Abing shyly scratched the back of his head in response

Upon hearing this sound, Chun Guo's heart "thumped" once, and she quickly turned her head to look beside her

I do not know why, but I always feel that Senior He Qiliang has many mysteries that are difficult to fathom

Chun Guo turned his head to look at Cai Ke Fu, a large drop of cold sweat falling from his forehead

"Huh... it's good that you can recognize your own issues." The head teacher adjusted the glasses on the bridge of his nose, let out a long sigh, and said earnestly, "Student Chun Guo, I know you care deeply about the protection of the forest, but as your teacher, I must remind you that if this matter affects your studies, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse? Only when you have mastered more knowledge will you have the power to protect everything you love in the future, including this forest. As a student, what you can do at this moment is still quite limited, isn't it?"

Why! Why is it like this! He usually spends even less time reading than I do, so how can he rank second in the grade!

"Why is it impossible?" Before Xie Wanying could finish her words, Jiang Tingting looked down at the defeated person's panicked eyes and revealed a mocking smile, "Do you really think you have 'surpassed' me, the former ace? Dance is not something that can be achieved merely through effort; it also requires talent! Of course, if you managed to defeat me through underhanded means, then not only can you do it, but I can do it too. The position of the lead dancer is mine!" Of course, if you managed to defeat me through underhanded means, then not only can you do it, but I can do it too. The position of the lead dancer is mine!

I don't want to think about it too much. The head teacher mentioned that I should visit the students who have made progress to learn about their study experiences. Since classmate Xie Wanying is still practicing so late, I should be able to understand the reasons behind her rapid improvement, right? ... That's right ...! ... I will go to the auditorium not because of Cang Konglin, but purely to fulfill the task assigned by the head teacher!

Meihe Middle School ... ... "Heiqi Liang gazed at the most prominent smiling face in the photograph, murmuring to himself. Gradually, an inscrutable smile appeared on his face. 'I understand now, Principal, may I borrow this photograph for a couple of days?'

By the end of the day, Chun Guo had interviewed five newly recognized outstanding students. However, regardless of the perspective taken, the successful experiences they shared were all unconvincing. Moreover, these newly recognized outstanding students shared a common characteristic: they were originally of average ability, and several of them were part of the 'bottom of the class' before becoming outstanding students. Yet, within a short period, they underwent a dramatic transformation, almost as if they had been enchanted like Cinderella.

Senior Zhu Lu, please do not rush. I will go over to meet that student.

At this thought, Chun Guo clenched her teeth tightly, resolutely making up her mind

At this moment, the Go club's classroom has completely lost its former tranquility and harmony

Oh no...! It's all that big idiot Cai Kefo's fault. The director of education is really furious this time! Last time, during the self-study class, he called my parents to complain about the paper ball incident, and I was grounded. What is he planning to do to me this time...? Could it be that he wants to send me down to the eighteenth level of hell...? "Sigh..." But to my surprise, after the director of education sat down behind his desk, his anger actually subsided. He crossed his hands on the desk and looked at Chunguog with a serious expression, "This time, your grades have dropped quite a bit. Can you tell me the reason?" "Sigh..." But to my surprise, after the director of education sat down behind his desk, his anger actually subsided. He crossed his hands on the desk and looked at Chunguog with a serious expression, "This time, your grades have dropped quite a bit. Can you tell me the reason?"

Upon hearing Zhu Lu's words, Cang Kong Lin gently inhaled through his nostrils

Hello, Ding Xiaomao. Congratulations on achieving a record-breaking performance at the district sports meeting. For this success, I believe you must have put in more effort and sweat than others. Would you be willing to share with everyone some unforgettable experiences from your journey of hard work?

Chun Guo wrote a sentence in her draft book and crossed it out, then wrote another sentence and crossed it out again... This went on, repeating dozens of times, until she finally wrote a sentence that she was relatively satisfied with. After taking a long breath, she tore the note from the draft book and folded it into a neat little square. However, just as she was about to put the note into the drawer of her desk, she suddenly hesitated again

"Speaking of which, many strange occurrences have taken place recently at Firefly Middle School," Cang Kong Lin recalled something, and her expression became somewhat serious. "Some students' grades have inexplicably soared at school. I conducted an investigation and happened to hear from a classmate that there is a type of 'Wish Fruit' in this forest, which, when consumed, can fulfill their wishes. Some students who have eaten this fruit even established an underground organization called 'Wild Fruit Society.' However, the 'Wish Fruit' is merely a lie propagated by the Spring Fruit, intended to protect the Firefly Forest... Could it be that this strange fruit truly exists? Or is someone taking advantage of this opportunity to create trouble?"

We have stronger agreements and legends connecting us

You have been very silent today... You have been here for a whole afternoon; is there something on your mind?" A clear and bright male voice, like a flowing stream, came from behind the camphor tree.

Is this classmate Shi Chuncai?" Upon seeing this scene, Cang Kong Lin smiled faintly, walked up to Shi Chuncai, and stood still, gazing intently at him. "Your chess skills seem quite impressive; would you like to have a match with me?"

What are you arguing about? Is standing in punishment not enough? Tsai Ke-fu, what is there to be happy about being second to last in your grade? Let me tell you, if it weren't for a classmate in your grade who was absent due to illness, you would still be in last place!

Hehe, indeed. "Cang Konglin chuckled self-deprecatingly, let out a soft sigh, and said, 'It seems that things have become a bit complicated... Perhaps, I can no longer fulfill our agreement.'"

What happened? Is Xie Wanying too upset because she just lost the match? No, her condition was very poor just now, going out like this might be dangerous. Although I don't particularly like her, the safety of my classmates is the most important thing, so I should go over and take a look.

I... I won't!" Chun Guo stubbornly argued, her face flushed as she quickly pulled the draft notebook down from the desk and stuffed it into her backpack, then huffed angrily and turned her face away.

In the past month, many diligent students have emerged in the school, demonstrating remarkable progress in various aspects, with several students bringing honor to the class and the school. As the Director of Education, I hope that you, the underperforming students, can humbly seek advice from these students on their experiences of improvement, and then each of you should write a reflection of 2,000 words to submit to me. Remember, I will have the school publication team publish your reflections to share with other students in the school, and I hope you will take this seriously

When the school bell rings in the campus, Chun Guo and her classmates begin to tidy up their backpacks on their desks

When he saw Chun Guo sitting in the most inconspicuous seat in the auditorium, Cang Kong Lin was taken aback for a moment, and the expression on his face stiffened.

During the lunch break, in the classroom of Class 3, Year 1, Chun Guo, following the directive of the head teacher, sat opposite a short and unremarkable boy, holding a notebook in her hand, and earnestly began her interview journey with the "progressive student"

How is that possible? How could you possibly jump better than me? I clearly ate ... ...

Chun Guo sat in her seat, staring blankly at Cang Kong Lin, her gaze fixed in the air. As if sensing Chun Guo's gaze, Cang Kong Lin turned her head to look in her direction

"Then prove it to me." Cang Kong Lin raised a casual smile and said, "Only the most outstanding girls are worthy of being with me; losers cannot attract my attention."

But Cang Kong Lin, didn't you transfer from Jing Shan Middle School? They are wearing uniforms from Ming He Middle School...

Wanying, congratulations. Today I would like to invite you to have lunch together to celebrate your becoming the lead dancer of the dance club

Heaven knows, this person used to have average grades in our class. When did he suddenly rise to the top of the grade? Is he really that hardworking?

Although Chun Guo's face was making an effort to maintain a stiff smile, her heart was struggling intensely

A drop of cold sweat fell onto the chessboard, and Shi Chuncai raised his head in terror, gazing at the boy in front of him who wore a relaxed smile, his tongue twisted into a tangle like a twisted doughnut

A voice suddenly sounded from across Chun Guo, startling her, causing the pen in her hand to draw a black line on the draft paper resembling a worm

What on earth is Cang Kong Lin thinking ... ...

This plan has too many flaws, doesn't it? It would be better to deliberate further.

"I can see it very clearly," Chun Guo said, staring at him in a daze, enunciating each word distinctly.

Well, I leave everything to you... Fan Yin

Indeed, there will come a day when you will meet again, right? By then, I will no longer be "Cang Kong Lin" and can retire after achieving success. "Cang Kong Lin let out a self-deprecating hum, saying, "I have never regretted anything as much as accepting your request to spend the entire summer with Chun Guo as 'Cang Kong Lin.' This is truly insane; at that time, I completely failed to consider the possible consequences. Perhaps this will be one of my greatest missteps in this lifetime.

I understand. The voice behind the tree sighed, "The fairy tale of 'Firefly Forest' from ten years ago should indeed come to an end..."

How coincidental is this? How could Cherry Sister come to the dance club? ... ... ... This is terrible, I don't know how to explain it to Cherry Sister ... After leaving the dance club, Haruka did not speak to Sora Rin for the entire day

Boom! Snap!

"If you lose, you must admit it; being persistent and clinging on is not your style, Tingting." Xie Wanying crossed her arms, her delicate tone laced with sharpness.

Chun Guo looked at Cang Kong Lin's back with a complex expression, filled with confusion as he turned and walked home

Chun Guo gritted his teeth and spoke fiercely, his eyes resembling two ignited powder kegs, almost ready to explode

Hmph! Stop putting on the airs of a president to lecture me! Weren't you just defeated by me in the wheel battle? Those without strength have no right to speak!" Shi Chuncai shouted loudly, pointing his finger at the president

At this moment, Cang Konglin had already carried Chun Guo to the entrance of the community where Chun Guo's home was located. Cang Konglin spoke and then turned around to return along the original path, heading towards the direction of the amusement park

Cang Kong Lin! He is indeed here! Is he waiting for Xie Wanying?

Thank you... The voice behind the tree was filled with gratitude, "You have done so much for the Firefly Forest, and I will certainly keep my promise to give you what you desire, to assist you in completing your biological research project"

As if to match the mood of Cang Kong Lin at this moment, the sky has turned particularly gloomy, with several muffled thunderclaps rumbling above the clouds

Cang Konglin's hand suddenly lost its strength, gradually slipping away from Chun Guo's arm, as if it simultaneously drained all of Chun Guo's happiness

How could this happen? I feel that Tingting and Wanying have both become quite strange lately

After finishing her words, Cang Kong Lin smiled, stood up, and turned to walk off the stage

It is truly perfect! As expected of Senior Jiang Tingting! Ahahaha

Classmate Chun Guo

Upon hearing the inquiry from the campus reporter, Chun Guo's eyes lit up, and he quickly picked up his pen to prepare to take notes in his notebook

Where has he gone? Chun Guo turned to look at the empty desk under the vast, cold sky, asking herself the same question for the Nth time, her heart aching as if pierced by an ice pick

La la la? Cherry sister, are you singing?

You big fool, Sora Rin! I will never forgive you! I curse that your steak at noon today will spoil, causing you to have diarrhea! Diarrhea! Diarrhea! Diarrhea! ... ...

Tchaikovsky enthusiastically pointed to the ranking list: "This time I have improved to second to last in the grade, while you have fallen to three hundred and ninety-fifth place! The distance between our names has suddenly narrowed so much! It's like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl; although separated by the Milky Way, they will eventually reunite one day!"

Just as Chun Guo was walking out of the classroom with his backpack, a voice suddenly came from the shadows at the end of the corridor outside the classroom
