"Ah,Daoxuan,come sit there ."Li Su ping's face expose fawning smile , this smile let Chen Daoxuan his stomach to his mouth was want gush with acid water.As if Chen Daoxuan were her long-lost son.
Li Suping start talk Chen's entrance exam result with him.Although Chen Daoxuan disgust in Li's heart,he Trying not to look at her the only thing missing from the face, which was oily and covered with a creamy powder,the skin color on her neck and her face skin color like Great Rift Valley create a fault,which struck him as unpleasant to look at her.
It was clear that Li had dressed up quite a bit today, wearing a crape European dress only worn for formal events, and wearing a pair of nude 7cm Jimmy choo heels. As Chen approached her, he smelled Choke his nose perfume that almost knocked him out.
Chen Daoxuan was at a loss for words and sat down on a small plastic stool next to Li Suping's office seat, his mind is still confused.
Half an hour ago, he added Li Suping's WeChat, Li Suping up is "ah, Dao Xuan my sincerely baby quickly come to school, the matter of your future fate." After no other words, this words let has been ready for the rain comes from wind Chen Daoxuan to that line of words directly into a long silence.
But he did not continue to ask questions, just replied a "Well, teacher." Then he freshened up and dressed and left the house, taking the subway to St. Paul's High School.
Chen Daoxuan graduated from seventh grade this year, participated in the joint examination of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, according to the wishes of the family enrolled in the Shenzhen University of Finance, according to let him a liberal arts students to learn finance, more or less considered out of place, but Chen's Dad thinks that learning finance is good, ah, his future will become employment is bright in and out of the CBD white-collar, and then can also help in the family factory to do an accounting and finance, or take over the family industry in the future.
"Dao Xuan, your English is not bad, right?" Li Suping asked with a kind face.
"Uh, like, that's right." Chen Daoxuan did not come back to his senses for a moment, "At that time, the school organized to go to IELTS, my score was 7.0, and the single item did not fall below 6.5," he answered truthfully, with a few moments of alarm in his heart.
Li Suping smiled faintly, "Then do you have the will to study abroad, such as Australia, Canada, the United States."
St. Paul's High School is a famous school in the whole of Hong Kong, a century-old school, is the oldest school in Hong Kong, bilingual teaching, study atmosphere by the school style has been very strong, St. Paul's High School students first choice of university is the National University of Singapore, Australia's group of eight universities, Caltech, Cambridge, followed by the Chinese University of Hong Kong, China mainland 211, 985.
Chen Doxuan grades are actually quite good, English especially outstanding, he had the idea of studying abroad in the past, but the family unanimously opposed after discussion, with a fucking phrase, "Doxuan ah that the United States has what is good, walking on the street on the forehead will be a bloody hole from the gun ."
But he knew that the family's factory efficiency because of the COVID19 family economic situation caused by the epidemic, has been on the decline, and then burdened with the high cost of studying abroad, life will suddenly be in the cart.
Surviving in this neon city like Cyberpunk World is barely enough, where there is still room to support his dream of traveling far away?
"There was, but teacher, I have now applied to Shenzhen University." Chen Daoxuan did not show traces, put a soft nail towards Li Suping.
" You register for Shenzhen University is not afraid, now more universities more roads, maybe your future graduate school is still useful, now this economic environment graduate students are not good to find a job." Li Suping's words directly kicked this soft nail away from him, and she pulled out a white envelope from her small LV crocodile handbag, saying that an American university had thrown an olive branch at him.
Chen Daoxuan said in heart , "This is true, the weasel worships the chicken. The envelope maybe what American pheasant university, to give Li Su Ping commission and publicity fees, in previous years, St. Paul's High School is exposed to similar events, students were lured to the United States pheasant university, the results of the blood money.
But he is not good get angry with Li on the spot , although he has seen the purpose of Li Suping, but he still decided to accompany her to play the scene.
"Okay, teacher, I will go back and refer to it properly, if there is nothing else, I will go back first." Chen Daoxuan said with a reluctantly smile, his tone was no longer so kind.
"Okay, nothing more, you go back first, I also still have something to do." Li Suping picked up the crocodile leather carry bag that was placed on the table.
When Chen Daoxuan pushed open the door of his office, that woman's voice rang out behind him once again, and the words made him stop in his tracks.
"Dao Xuan, listen to my once , about this choice, you'd better choose carefully, this matter may determine the direction of your fate."

The large-inch LCD TV is rotating "Resident Evil 2: Operation Raccoon City", the harsh sunlight outside the porthole shone on the drowsy Skold's face, he slowly opened his sour eyes, the soreness still lingered for a long time, like a cold hard lead pendant, so he could not resist the urge to close his eyes again.
But he resisted the thought as the blinding light shot into his retina like a spear, causing his pair of light green eyes to squint slightly.
A cold voice rang out beside him: "Awake?" Accompanied by the clattering sound of turning pages.
"Well, isn't it almost time, Ouyang." Skold didn't turn his head, but looked out the window into the as if washed stratospheric sky bathing under the sunshine, The sun hangs high above sky, scattering thousands of platinum-like rays down, shining on the Antarctic snowfield-like clouds below.
"How long did I sleep?" Skold asked again as he continued to look out the window.
"Four hours, I think, after the two movies were broadcast, there should be half an hour before we land at Hong Kong International Airport." Ouyang Pingzhi closed the copy of Zweig's Sternstunden der Menschheit: Vierzehn historische Miniaturen in his hand and held upward the black-rimmed glasses that had slipped off the bridge of his nose, "You can sleep a little longer, Skold, I'll awake you when we land."
"No, I can't sleep." Skold replied quickly, he stared at the white clouds below without speaking, for a long time, Skold's lips moved slightly, "Ouyang, I've read that book of yours."
"Which book?" Ouyang Pingzhi's voice was light.
"The Land of Dragons, the novel you shaped based on Evanas Academy, but I didn't finish it, I only finished the Japanese chapter." Skold's voice was light, "It's well written, but I couldn't get into that main character."
"Lu Fei? Indeed, many people think he is cowardly." Ouyang Pingzhi smiled, "but each of us is not Lu Fei in the beginning? Skold, including you and I, gave everything in pursuit of something nebulous and ended up with nothing, but humans are such a silly species, aren't they?"
"Yes, Ouyang, but because of that, each of us thinks of escaping that Lufei in our hearts." Skold said softly, "That's why I don't want to set foot on this land again."
"The Land of Dragons is a tragedy and a microcosm of the Foundation, we are all dragon slayers, staring into the abyss." Skold pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled bitterly.
"You already understand this book, Skold, a lot of people say they cry their eyes out reading my book, but they are far from thinking that reality will always be a hundred times more tragic than The Land of Dragon ." Ouyang Pingjpzhi looked at the TV screen that was showing Resident Evil, where soldiers were shooting at the citizens of Raccoon City and the crowd was screaming.
"This book fell flat as water for me, certainly not your writing skills, Ouyang, I'm numb to it." Skold said with a smile, "When Morris's brains spattered on my scope at that moment, I was shocked and sad is a hundred famous books can not describe, Ouyang, obviously one second he was still laughing with me and said after the mission to find a few Hong Kong girls to have fun, but the next second I was stunned to look at his gradually cooling corpse can not say any words.
"Only a man can feel that gut-wrenching feeling when he's really looking straight at the atrocity of death coming down on him." Skold said faintly, "precisely because death had taken my dear friend here, so I do not want to step on this shadow-shrouded land."
"I didn't expect you to let me eat a sad story the first thing after you woke up, I didn't expect that you had experienced such a tragic tragedy in Hong Kong, I feel sorry for that." Ouyang Pingzhi let out a breath, "Skold, I'm glad to know you as a friend." He patted Skold's shoulder.
"Here we are."
