Countdown to Awakening

Village entrance.

Teacher Qin and the others were about to go back. Even though many villagers had some opinions about Qin Zixin, they still followed her. After all, she was a teacher that the children liked.

Tianfu Village is relatively remote, and there are buses only in the town, so the few people can only take a tractor to the town.

As they were about to leave, Teacher Qin spotted a group of young figures walking towards them. They looked familiar—they were students she had taught.

And almost every student had tears on his face.

Seeing this, Qin Zixin's eyes turned red. She hadn't expected those students to come and see her off...

"Teacher Qin!" the leading children shouted. Some of the children were holding eggs, some were holding fruits. They all came to give Qin Zixin a gift.

"Teacher Qin, I'm sorry, we misunderstood you. Teacher Li and Teacher Jiang said you're not that kind of person. We really don't want to let you go..."

The children did not expect Qin Zixin to stay. They knew that Qin Zixin had to leave, so if that was the case, they could only give her something as a souvenir.

"Okay... the teacher is not here, so you have to study hard, okay? Come to Youcheng to see the teacher in the future." Qin Zixin squatted down and looked at the children, her eyes full of reluctance.

The children nodded. "Teacher Qin, this is a little gift from us. Please accept it." The children crowded forward and handed the things in their hands to Qin Zixin.

Qin Zixin was very touched.

Fang Yu glanced at the crowd and smiled when she saw Qi Yuanyuan. Then she walked over and said with a smile, "Thank you for what you did just now."

Qi Yuanyuan felt a little embarrassed by her thanks. After all, being thanked by a beautiful woman was a bit of a bummer... so she smiled.

"Actually... I didn't do anything, I just couldn't stand them..."

Fang Yu smiled again. She hadn't expected someone here to speak up for her. She had assumed everyone here would reject her sanitary napkins, and that everyone had the same idea.

"You look about the same age as me." Fang Yu looked at Qi Yuanyuan.

Qi Yuanyuan nodded. "I'm Qi Yuanyuan, and she's Sun Pandi. We're both freshmen at Youcheng University." She looked at Sun Pandi beside her. Sun Pandi greeted her reservedly.

"It's you. My cousin mentioned you in the letter. What a coincidence! We are alumni now." Fang Yu was a little surprised and then extended her hand.

Qi Yuanyuan shook hands with her.

Lin Hao came over to remind her that it was time to leave, and then looked at Qi Yuanyuan.

Then, Fang Yu turned around and said goodbye to them. "See you at school then."

Afterwards, Qi Yuanyuan said to Sun Pandi next to her, "Don't you think that guy is handsome?"

"No." Sun Pandi replied.

Just as he finished speaking, he heard Zheng Haifeng's breathless voice behind him.

"No, I was wondering why you two were running so fast? I could hardly catch up... Huhuhuhu... What did you just say? What? Nothing? Nothing?"

"I said you're not very handsome." Qi Yuanyuan replied.

"You...what are you looking at? Why am I not handsome? Pan Di, tell me, what do I look like?!"

"..."

Sun Pandi said nothing.

"Why don't you speak?"

Qi Yuanyuan joked, "You're so ugly that she's speechless."

-

The tractor rattled out of the village. Lin Hao looked at the small village behind him that was getting farther and farther away.

Is it true that there are people from such a small village who can get into college?

Lin Hao thought to himself that the family Qi Yuanyuan traveled to should be quite good.

As for the girl named Sun Pandi...it seems that she is probably a product of the preference for boys over girls.

"What's wrong?" Fang Yu asked.

"Nothing, I just can't believe there are a few people from this small village who can get into Youcheng University."

They should work harder than me.

"I have seen two girls who were admitted to the same school as you. I have estimated the data. Almost all the students who were admitted to Youcheng University are male, and there are very few females. Of course, this may also be due to their family reasons. It may not be the case in the future." Lin Hao said.

Fang Yu ignored him, thinking that he was still the playboy in her memory. She was also thinking that what he said just now might just be a way of looking down on anyone or anything in this village.

He didn't know that the current Lin Hao was actually Shang Wen who traveled through time. His soul was no longer the unbearable Lin Hao before.

Because of some of Lin Hao's past, she actually minded being with Lin Hao. But it was unavoidable.

Riding on a tractor, the wind quietly passed by them, and their hair came into close contact with the wind. This is the unique enjoyment of a country road.

Fang Yu really likes this feeling. To her, it's not just about the wind, it's also about freedom. She hopes all the girls in the village can pass the exam.

"Cousin, isn't your teaching in the village going well? Why do you suddenly want to leave? Don't you like this place very much?" she asked.

The letter Qin Zixin sent didn't contain much information about why she left the village, so she was very curious.

I'm curious why someone who loves this place so much would decide to leave.

Teacher Qin did not hide it at this time.

After she finished speaking, she explained, "I can't stay in this place for too long. If I stay here for too long, it will easily attract attention. It's better to go back to where I started. At least I can live a stable life." Teacher Qin also felt a little powerless when she said this.

"So, cousin, do you regret coming here to teach?" Fang Yu asked.

"Of course I don't regret it. The kids here are all nice. It's their families who are unfriendly. I don't find the conditions here tough either. It's them who always think I'm seducing others and are trying to get rid of me."

Teacher Qin's eyes were red and tearful. To be honest, she was reluctant to leave those children. But there was nothing she could do now. She could only leave. She could only pray that the children in the village would be fine without her. Especially the girls.

"Cousin, think about it, wouldn't it be a good thing if you left this village? Think about it, so many people in the village want you to leave, and they are not hesitant to spread rumors to make you leave. Leaving here is actually the right decision for you." Fang Yu saw that she was about to cry, and hurriedly comforted her.

Lin Hao suddenly asked, "Sister, do the people in the village often spread rumors?"

Fang Yu was incredulous when she heard him call Qin Zixin "Sister". This playboy actually called his cousin "Sister"?

Is he out of his mind? Or does he have some bad ideas again?

Teacher Qin was surprised at first, then nodded. "It's been quite a lot. I wasn't the victim before, but after they knew what happened last time, they started throwing mud at me, just to get rid of me."

"Not you? There were others before? Were those two girls who were admitted to university no exception?" Lin Hao asked.

Is she too?

Qin Zixin nodded again.
