Chapter 204 Conditions for Day Trips

According to Yu Xin.

The school's accommodation is excellent, with each dormitory room equipped with a private bathroom.

The top classes even have two students per dormitory room, as stated in the promotional materials.

One of them is an orphan with a local household registration, and the other is from another province.

There is a very high probability that they will choose to live on campus, as it is the cheapest and most convenient option, and there is no doubt about it.

“I plan to commute to school,” Ai Liang said.

“Me too,” Ye Qing echoed.

"Are they all day students?"

The school's dormitory environment isn't bad, so why do you all want to commute?

Yu Xin was very puzzled.

“I have a rented house on Garden Road nearby, and I’m not used to living with strangers,” Ai Liang explained.

“Me too,” Ye Qing raised her hand and echoed.

Yu Xin paused, holding the pen. Ye Qing was a local of Qianhua City, so it was normal for her to have her own place to live outside.

But Ai Liang is different; he comes from out of town, and it might be troublesome for him to commute to school.

Just to be on the safe side, Yu Xin asked, "Does Ai Liang have a parent accompanying her? Let the parents come over and sign something. Our school has to be responsible for the students' safety."

I live alone.

"Your parents didn't come?"

It worked as a precaution.

Yu Xin frowned and said, "Since you're not accompanying someone to study, I personally suggest you live on campus, especially since you're from Nevada City and don't know anyone here."

Our school's dormitories are very nice. Every time there's a long holiday, they hire someone to disinfect the rooms and remove any odors, so there's no need to worry about hygiene.

If you're worried about accommodation hours... the school dormitories only close during winter and summer breaks, so don't worry about having nowhere to go on weekends.

The dormitories at Qianhua Experimental Middle School are open by semester. Except for winter and summer vacations, the dormitory facilities operate as usual during other holidays.

After all, some students live far away and spend most of their time at school, only going home once during long holidays.

"I'm not worried about things like the dormitory environment, it's just that I've always lived alone and I'm not used to living in a dormitory."

Ai Liang had long anticipated that this situation might occur.

He gave a prepared explanation: "If you're not comfortable with that, I can sign a waiver first."

The school recommends that students who live far away live on campus, mainly for safety reasons.

If something happens to a day student, it will be very troublesome for the school to handle.

At times like this, many students will make all sorts of promises, saying they don't know how to do this or that, and that they will definitely behave themselves, rambling on and on.

Only children care about verbal promises; adults only analyze the pros and cons.

The school leaders don't care what you want to do; all they care about is the impact your accident will have on the school.

As long as you can guarantee that you won't hold the school responsible if something happens.

Let's focus on this key point and discuss it.

They most likely won't make things difficult for you in this matter; they'll offer a few token words of advice and fulfill their basic obligations, and that'll be it.

However, Ai Liang's homeroom teacher is quite responsible.

"Your parents need to come and sign the waiver. I am your homeroom teacher and I am responsible for your safety. Without such guarantees, I am afraid I can hardly agree to your request."

Yu Xin was not swayed by Ai Liang's few words and resolutely crossed out the checkmark below.

Ye Qing is already sixteen and an adult, so there's no problem.

Ai Liang is still more than a month away from signing, and there might be some procedural issues if she signs now.

Ai Liang was adamant about not compromising on this matter: "I'm sorry, Teacher Yu, but my parents don't support me coming here to study, so I can't let them come."

If you insist that I live on campus, then I will have no choice but to break the school rules and stay out overnight.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xin couldn't help but frown.

This genius from Nevada seems to be a troublemaker.

Could it be that his previous school spoiled him by giving him special treatment because of his grades?

This is not possible.

Yu Xin stared intently at Ai Liang, attempting to use his authority as a teacher to force her into a panicked submission.

But he miscalculated.

Ai Liang's expression remained unchanged.

After all, Ai Liang wasn't a real high school student. In his previous life, he had already graduated and entered the workforce, so how could he possibly be afraid of teachers?

When you grow up and enter society, and look back on your school days, you'll find it strange.

He's just a teacher, what's there to be afraid of?

Not to mention that Ai Liang's experiences from age five to ten were not what a normal person should have. It's hard to say who would be scared if the topic was brought up.

The confrontation between Yu Xin and Ai Liang made it impossible for Ye Qing, a bystander, to ignore it any longer.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting tense, she quickly stepped in to mediate.

"Oh dear, the waiver can wait until Ai Liang comes of age to sign it, it's not too late anyway, isn't it coming soon?"

"Do you know each other?" Yu Xin asked.

"Ai Liang lives next door to me."

Ye Qing didn't hide it and readily admitted it.

Moreover, this kind of thing can't be hidden even if you want to; the teacher will know as soon as they see the home address.

"Your neighbor?"

Yu Xin looked at Ai Liang with a hint of amusement.

Considering that Ai Liang specifically traveled from Nevada to Qianhua to attend school, there seems to be quite a lot of information involved.

However, he didn't gossip too much about it; what if it was just a coincidence?
Besides, even if it were true, the atmosphere in Chika City is open-minded, and as long as it doesn't affect studies, the school doesn't object to early relationships.

If it really comes down to the whole "searching for true love across a thousand miles" thing, he doesn't intend to break up the couple.

However, Ai Liang's resolute attitude towards commuting to school gave Yu Xin a headache.

Fang Xinlei absolutely refused to commute and insisted on living at school, while Ai Liang absolutely refused to live at school and insisted on commuting.

He had only been hosting three students when he encountered two troublemakers, leaving him feeling extremely frustrated.

This year's top-performing class is probably going to be difficult to manage.

"Is Ai Liang turning 18 in October?"

Yu Xin leaned back in his office chair, tapping his fingers on the desk.

He felt he couldn't compromise too quickly, lest he leave the students with the impression that he was easy to talk to, which would cause a lot of trouble in class management.

“You still have more than a month before you turn 18. If something happens to you during this time, I won’t be able to explain it to the school. Even if you turn 18, it’s still not safe for you to be alone in another city.”

Ai Liang immediately knew that the homeroom teacher was trying to negotiate with her.

He hesitated for a moment, then asked directly, "Just tell me, what would it take for you to agree to let me commute?"

Yu Xin paused for a moment, then laughed.

He felt that Ai Liang and Ye Qing were quite interesting. They didn't act like students at all; they spoke and acted like adults.

She is much more mature than Fang Xinlei from before.

“Since you asked, I won’t beat around the bush. I can approve your commute, but you have to be in the top ten in the citywide mock exam in October.”

Yu Xin directly stated his conditions.

All schools in Qianhua City conduct a unified diagnostic test one month after students enroll.

Some are internal school assessments, while others are joint exams involving multiple schools.

Qianhua Experimental Middle School is the latter.

In Yu Xin's view, although Ai Liang is a genius who can get full marks, the Experimental Middle School is not lacking in geniuses.

Take Fang Xinlei, who just left, and Ye Qing in front of me as examples; their grades weren't much worse than Ai Liang's.

The upper limit for scores is fixed, so exam results won't differ too much.

Moreover, no matter how good you were at studying before, that's all in the past.

Yu Xin has seen many students who, after putting in their best efforts to get into the Experimental Middle School in junior high, began to slack off.

Now that Ai Liang is in high school, no one can say for sure whether she can maintain her grades.

He wanted to use this method to give Ai Liang a warning.

"Is it enough to just get into the top ten?"

Ai Liang confirmed it again.

Yu Xin was amused by these words: "What do you take this diagnostic test for? It's good to be confident, but you can't underestimate your opponents because of it."

Although I don't know how your classmates' grades were in junior high, in our school, those who got into the top classes weren't much worse off than you.

Yu Xin spoke with such conviction, as if the top classes were truly teeming with geniuses and full marks were everywhere.

Ai Liang's junior high school teacher thought the same thing back then.

then.

There's no after that.

Ai Liang didn't think it was that difficult, given the example of Yang Xingyue, who had above-average grades, being tutored into a top student.

Ai Liang knew all too well what level the students in the top class were at.

Having already completed all the courses, getting into the top ten was a piece of cake for him.

Moreover, even without studying, he could still get first place by cheating with superpowers.

It's probably unrealistic for Yu Xin to try and break Ai Liang's arrogance in this way.

"If there are no problems, then it's settled. If you don't get into the top ten in the placement test, you'd better come back and live at school."

Yu Xin didn't give Ai Liang a chance to bargain and directly made an agreement.

To put it bluntly, whether Ai Liang lives on campus or not is completely unimportant.

He just wanted to give his students a motivation and a reason to work hard.

This method of motivating students to study hard is far better than those empty rhetoric and brainwashing rhetoric about repaying parents or working for one's future.

The principal wouldn't entrust the top class to a slacker, so Yu Xin's ability to become the homeroom teacher of the top class naturally means he has some skills.

Yu Xin picked up his pen again and asked, "Tell me your home address first."

"Room 302, Building 8, Garden Road".

Ye Qing answered quickly.

“I live in room 301 next door.”

Ai Liang continued.

"You two are... Hey, I almost forgot you two are neighbors."

After noting down the two students' addresses, Yu Xin put away the class roster: "Alright, you can go do whatever you need to do. Just remember to be in the classroom for the class meeting before 2 PM on September 1st."

"Teacher, is that all for the report?"

Ye Qing looked at the notice in her hand; it was too troublesome to keep carrying this thing around.

Yu Xin turned his gaze to Ye Qing: "Yes, do you have any other questions?"

"Do I need to submit the notification letter?"

"We'll collect them all at the class meeting on September 1st, but you can hand them in earlier if you want," Yu Xin said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qing decisively placed her admission notice on Yu Xin's desk without the slightest hesitation.

"Hehe, since it's already been reported, I'll hand it in early. I'm a bit careless, and I'm worried I'll lose it in the next couple of days, which would bother you again."

Low emotional intelligence: Too lazy to pick it up, it's in the way.

High emotional intelligence: Worried that losing it would cause trouble for the teacher.

You've already done all that.

Ai Liang was too lazy to talk, so she nodded to indicate that she was too.

Yu Xin didn't care about such a trivial matter. He opened the drawer and carefully put away the two people's admission notices.

While it may be a rhetorical device, these words do sound very appealing.

"By the way, teacher, can the classroom door be opened now?"

"There's nothing interesting to see in the classroom, and it's not the official start of the semester yet. You're just here to register early."

Yu Xin took a key from the hook: "It's not impossible to go in and take a look, but it hasn't been cleaned in months, so it's probably covered in dust..."

"Oh, then forget it."

Ye Qing quickly abandoned the idea of ​​going into the classroom to take a look.

What if, during the conversation, the teacher casually asks her to clean the classroom? Wouldn't that be a huge loss for her?

I came to the school to take a look around, not to be a free cleaner.

Ye Qing and Ai Liang left the office.

It was still early, just past nine o'clock, and they didn't plan to go back so soon.

However, the two disagreed on what to do next.

"It's still early. Now that we've finished reporting, let's go explore other places!"

Ye Qing said with great interest.

The school is very large and the scenery is beautiful. She plans to explore all the places first.

Ai Liang nodded in support of Ye Qing's idea, then politely declined, saying, "You go shopping by yourself. I'm going to the library to read for a while. Call me when you're done."

After saying that, Ai Liang, carrying the novel, walked towards the main building.

"Wait a minute!"

Ye Qing grabbed Ai Liang's wrist and said pitifully, "Can you bear to see me walking around the school all alone, all lonely and miserable?"

What, you, a social butterfly, are you going to be embarrassed?
"Anyway, there's nobody at school right now. Even if the seniors have finished their classes, they won't have time to wander around. If you're worried about being approached by strangers, just walk a little further away."

Even when Ye Qing tried to act cute, Ai Liang remained completely unmoved.

At first, Ai Liang felt a little uncomfortable, after all, the two had known each other for several years, and he did have a strange fondness for Ye Qing.

Once you see it many times, you get used to it.

He just wants to find a quiet place to read for a while, and then go to the cafeteria to check out the food when it's time to eat.

Then I went home to rest.

Having been in Qianhua City for so long, Ai Liang hasn't had a proper rest.

In the first few days after arriving, I bought furniture and familiarized myself with the roads and buildings of Chika City.

As a result, he was implicated in a bank robbery.

Not long after, he transformed into a messenger, accepting Jin Ping'an's commission and running around every day.

Only recently did he finally have a chance to relax.

Ye Qing was unaware of Ai Liang's inner thoughts. She bit her lip lightly and said, "No matter what, I am a girl. I would be scared to walk alone in an unfamiliar school."

Ai Liang looked at Ye Qing and smiled: "Heh."

Scared?
What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of accidentally punching someone to death and having no one to help dispose of the body?
