I enlisted four times! My former unit blacklisted me.

The next day, after breakfast.

Wu Hanfeng went to the town, bought some gifts, and took a taxi to the county high school.

At this time, it is the students' morning reading time.

An old man was sitting in the security booth outside the gate reading a newspaper.

Upon seeing Wu Hanfeng, he immediately raised his head and asked:

"Young man, who are you looking for? Outsiders are not allowed to enter the campus without permission."

Wu Hanfeng took out a cigarette, handed it over, and smiled:

"Hello sir, I am a student from a previous year of our school. I graduated many years ago and came back today specifically to visit my former homeroom teacher, Ms. Li Mei. Could you please make an exception for me?"

"To see the teacher?"

The old man sized up Wu Hanfeng. "Did you call your teacher?"

"According to the rules, you can only enter if the teacher calls the security booth or comes out in person."

Wu Hanfeng took out his veteran's certificate and handed it over, saying, "Sir, I'm a veteran. I forgot my teacher's phone number."

"Could you please make an exception? I have a good relationship with Teacher Li Mei. I just got back from military service yesterday and came to see her."

The old man took Wu Hanfeng's ID and looked at it. Seeing the discharge date, he realized it was indeed yesterday, and smiled. "So you're a retired soldier!"

"I trust you. Go in!"

"But we cannot disturb students' morning reading."

Wu Hanfeng nodded and smiled, "Understood! Thank you, sir!"

Wu Hanfeng carried his luggage inside and encountered a teacher along the way, Li Mei, who was still teaching senior high school students.

It's the same office as before.

At that moment, she was the only one still sitting in the office, head down, grading assignments.

The other teachers should have all gone to the classrooms to check on the students.

"Teacher Li!"

Wu Hanfeng knocked on the office door and asked softly.

Li Mei was a middle-aged woman in her forties, wearing white-rimmed glasses. She looked up when she heard the sound.

I recognized Wu Hanfeng at a glance.

"You are, Wu Hanfeng?"

Li Mei stood up in surprise, "You, child, didn't you go to join the army?"

Wu Hanfeng walked in with a smile, "I retired yesterday! I came to see you today especially."

As he spoke, Wu Hanfeng handed over a bag of fruit and milk.

"You kid, just come, why bring all this? You've worked so hard in the army, it's not easy for you to save up some money."

Wu Hanfeng laughed and said, "It won't cost much, you can keep it for yourself."

After saying that, he placed it on Li Mei's desk.

Li Mei pulled up a chair for Wu Hanfeng to sit down. "You just got back, why aren't you spending more time with your family? What's the rush to see me?"

Wu Hanfeng chuckled and said, "I was just missing you, so I rushed over to see you. I didn't expect you to still be so beautiful."

Li Mei was showered with compliments by Wu Hanfeng.

"You little rascal, you still have as sweet a tongue as you did years ago."

"Alright! Stop trying to praise me indirectly."

"You came to see me, there must be something you need, right?"

Wu Hanfeng grinned, "That's why I say you understand me, Teacher Li."

"I do have something I'd like to ask you."

"I want to come back to continue my studies and take the college entrance examination this year."

Li Mei's smile froze instantly, because she had misheard.

"What...what did you say?"

Wu Hanfeng said with a serious expression:

"I said, I want to take the college entrance exam again and retake it!"

Li Mei was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"You child, you just love to joke around with your teachers."

But Wu Hanfeng still looked very serious.

Her smile gradually faded.

"You...you're not kidding?"
