Accel World (先飞看刀) Chapter 28: One possibility

In the large cafeteria, rows of tables and stools were neatly arranged in the hall, and students came and went, making all kinds of noise.

In a corner of the hall, there was some dispute between the academy's Phantom Flower and the youngest teacher in the school, and then, someone saw Phantom Flower walking out in full swing. Behind her, among the twin sisters One of them shouted: "Squad leader, do you need us to buy lunch for you?"

Leaving behind the weak one of the twin sisters, looking at the seat, a physical education teacher and a lively elder sister entered the team at the window, and successfully showed that they are worthy of being the physical education teacher and elder sister. They were successfully killed again, and each of them had two more dinner plates in their hands.

"It's great that the squad leader isn't here," Shui Xing Xiaohan said with a smile, "I don't have to be forced by her to buy vegetables I don't like."

"Yeah!" A physical education teacher had the same opinion.

Four dinner plates are placed on the dining table, the physical education teacher and sister sit on one side, and the younger sister sits on the other side. Looking at the dinner plate temporarily placed beside her, the younger sister quietly moved the poached eggs on that plate to her own plate, and moved half of one of the dishes she didn't like very much, so that she had two poached eggs Of course, she had to eat one before the monitor came back.

The three of them chatted while eating, and after a while, Nie Chengyan just came back. After returning, he didn't say anything, just sat in his seat like this. Mercury Xiaohan and Mercury Xiaowei looked at her together, and Mercury Xiaohan asked: "Squad leader, are you really going to sue?"

"Yeah!"

"The result?"

"It's nothing!" The beautiful female squad leader looked a little depressed, but she didn't say anything more.

Nie Chengyan did file a complaint just now, but she didn't really have to file a complaint in the first place, it was because Yang Xiaohan's actions were too irritating. The female squad leader first advised, then warned, but unexpectedly, a physical education teacher not only refused to back down, but also showed no sign of repentance. The disputes between the two people are mostly "I will sue the principal if you do this again", "I will sue if I go", "I really will sue", "Hurry up, go, I am waiting, if you don't go, it will be a child In the end, she was driven crazy by the physical education teacher, and at the same time, with a responsible attitude of correcting the teacher's bad behavior when he was still young, the female class leader really went to sue. In the end, the dean of the college only thought for half a second before coming to the conclusion that "this is fine", which almost made the female monitor's eyes drop.

After she came back, the female squad leader didn't say anything else. If she thought it was a sudden bad idea of ​​a physical education teacher at first, then the dean of the college's inexplicable attitude of not only not pursuing but helping to endorse, immediately made Cong Hui Nie Chengyan realized that there was something hidden in it. Although she didn't know what happened, she didn't continue to ask. After all, she was just a student.

"Tomorrow is a rest day, Mr. Xiaohan, class monitor, have you decided where to go to play?" the older sister of the twin sisters asked excitedly.

Different from the "weeks" in the West, the rest days of the Phantom Academy are based on the twenty-four solar terms. In Chinese tradition, there are twenty-four solar terms in a year. Each solar term and the day before and after it are rest days. In total, there are twelve days of classes and three days of rest in about fifteen days. Of course, occasionally there will be thirteen days of classes and then three days off.

Tomorrow is the first rest day after the start of this semester, and Mercury Xiaohan is naturally a little excited.

"I'm sorry, students Xiaohan and Xiaowei, you are going to Jinting Mountain with the teacher tomorrow!" Yang Xiaohan raised his hand.

"Jinting Mountain?" Nie Chengyan raised his head, "Xie's Jinting Mountain?"

"Student Chengyan also knows?"

"Well, I've been there a few times before." Nie Chengyan held the chopsticks in his right hand, and twirled the fingers of his left hand around the hair on his sideburns. A little friendship."

"Actually, I think it's strange to say 'noble family' in this era." Taking advantage of Mercury Xiaohan not paying attention, Yang Xiaohan quietly cut half of the poached egg on her plate, but she snatched it again go back.

"It's just that everyone said that," Nie Chengyan said. "Actually, the Xie family was not a famous family in this area before the founding of the country. In the past, the famous families here seemed to be the Pan, Ye, and Hong families, but the Pan and Hong families He was a traitor before the founding of the People's Republic of China, but was later liquidated, and the Ye family has long since declined. The Xie family is now called an aristocratic family, mainly because the older generation of their family is a famous founding general, and has a considerable influence in the political arena. Influence, but they will definitely not admit that they are a 'family'."

"You actually have friendship with Xie's family in Jintingshan, the squad leader, you are also a daughter of a famous family, right?" Mercury Xiaohan said excitedly.

"Do you think they are similar?" Nie Chengyan said angrily.

Yang Xiaohan, Shui Xing Xiaohan, and Shui Xing Xiaowei nodded vigorously... They are very similar.

Actually, in the history of China, since the appearance of the imperial examinations, it has been difficult to form aristocratic families similar to western aristocrats in the local area. At most, they are just rich and powerful local gentry. It's not the same thing at all. As for now, things like "noble families" and "famous families" are more of an interesting thing to talk about. You can't say that things like "big families" and "four young people in this city" don't exist. They all look like that, but it's just "like that". In terms of reality, it's not even as real as the things that everyone can see, such as school belle and school bully.

Of course a certain girl absolutely refuses to admit that she is the school belle, even though everyone says she is the school belle behind her back, she is a little proud of herself.

Shui Xing Xiaohan and Shui Xing Xiaowei began to discuss about "going to Jinting Mountain to play tomorrow". For them, there is nothing to do anyway, and going to Jinting Mountain for an outing seems to be very interesting. Nie Chengyan glanced at the boy, thinking that it really wasn't that simple.

She had already vaguely guessed in her heart that Teacher Xiaohan's appearance here must have something to do with Xiaohan and Xiaowei. Moreover, at such an age, he can be a teacher here, let the twin sisters sleep with him, and the dean doesn't even care about it. Unless he is the dean's illegitimate child, there must be something special hidden... Wait a minute... ... Teacher Xiaohan is the dean's illegitimate son?

Suddenly realizing that there is such a possibility for the beautiful female squad leader, Sanguan began to waver. It is unreasonable to become a teacher because the dean opened the back door for him, and no one cares about bullying girls, because the dean is the backstage. It should be said that this possibility actually exists...

Nie Chengyan took a serious look at the young boy diagonally opposite.

"Student Chengyan, what's wrong?" Yang Xiaohan touched his face, thinking about the flowers on my face?

"It's okay!" Nie Chengyan turned her head, handed the chopsticks to her left hand, propped her face with her right palm, and sat there, with star-like eyes, looking towards the ceiling on the upper left... She doesn't look like the dean ...

"Speaking of which, it seems that classmate Xiaowei has always been called sister Xiaohan?"

At noon, under the bright sunshine, the shade of the trees scattered in every corner of the academy, some places seemed noisy, while some places were quite quiet. The four of them walked together, and the young boy among them said something strange.

Mercury Xiaohan said hahaha: "Because I am a big sister!"

"But generally speaking, they wouldn't be called sisters, right?" Nie Chengyan and the physical education teacher had the same opinion, "Even if they are sisters, if the age difference is not too big, most of the time, the younger one won't be called the older one." Elder sister, are you calling her nickname directly?"

"Cheng Yan, do you have a younger sister?" Yang Xiaohan asked.

"No, I'm an only child, but my family is a big family, there are many cousins, those who are about the same age, they are forced to fight, no one calls me sister, at most they call me sister Yan. Even if they are real sisters It's the same, those cousins ​​are all like that. When the elder sister insists that the younger sister call her elder sister, but the younger sister always calls her name, except for those who have a big age difference. Like Xiaowei, who was born on the same day and still called her sister. 'Sister', it feels very rare."

"Well," Mercury Xiaohan nodded her mouth with her finger, "Speaking of which, Xiaowei used to call me by my nickname, and she seemed to have fought over this when she was a child, and she was beaten to tears. She still refuses to call me sister. When did she change her name to my sister..."

Surprised: "Xiaowei, aren't you actually my sister, are you already possessed by a monster?" Strangling Mercury Xiaowei, shook her vigorously: "Give me back my sister!"

"If you can choose, the little girl would rather be possessed by a monster than be your sister."

"Xiao Wei, you spit out this slot very well."

"The little girl can't complain!"

"What are they talking about?" Yang Xiaohan looked at Nie Chengyan, "What do you mean by complaining?"

"Don't discuss terms that even they themselves don't understand with them who are stupid from reading Dongying comics!" Nie Chengyan said bluntly.

"Oh!" Still don't understand.

"Teacher Xiaohan?!" Si Milei walked over from a distance, "The dean asked you to go to him!"

"Got it!" Yang Xiaohan ran towards the office building.

After Yang Xiaohan left, Sister Mercury went back to the dormitory to rest. Because Nie Chengyan still has a part-time job as a disciplinary committee member, he didn't go back to the student apartment outside the school. When walking with Si Milei, she asked curiously: "Ms. Si..."

At this moment, Si Milei also looked at her: "Classmate Nie..."

Two people talk together, pause together, and then realize that the other has something to ask themselves. Si Milei motioned for her to ask first, and Nie Chengyan said in a low voice, "Mr. Si, can I ask where did Teacher Xiaohan come from?"

"Actually, I also want to ask this matter. You and Teacher Xiaohan seem to be very close. Do you know where he used to be and why he was hired by the dean to be a teacher here?"

The two women looked at each other, then shook their heads together... they didn't know!

Duijing Rouli Building, a corner of the girls' dormitory.

One on the left and one on the right, there are two beds against the wall, gray and white iron frames, 1.5 meters wide, covered with quilts. Two beds of quilts, one pink and one blue but of the same color, that had been folded with the help of a squad leader early in the morning, were now in a mess again. One girl sat gently on the edge of the bed and lay down on the quilt, while the other It was the whole person who jumped on the bed, and after a "bang", rolled around hugging the pillow.

Beside the window, there is a square table with messy things on it. During the damp season in spring, it is still a bit cool in the morning and evening, but it is hot at noon. On one side of the door is a square metal cabinet standing upright, and beside it are some sundries that are needed for daily use, because their female squad leader will come to help them tidy up from time to time, but it is also neat and tidy.

The elder sister who kicked the blue patterned quilt in the corner of the bed and rolled around hugging the pillow, because it was too hot, threw the pillow in another bed, and exchanged for the sleepy younger sister, With a murmur of complaint, the pillow was thrown again.

Then there was a crackling noise, the pillows were flying back and forth between the two beds.

Until they were tired from playing, the two of them lay on the bed together, laughter and gasps that seemed to be angry but also happy, filled the room, as if the cicada of summer had come early. After a while, my sister put the two pillows scattered on her bed side by side, pressed half of her body on them, and turned her head to look at the sister who was pressing the quilt as a pillow on the other side: "Well...speaking of it, Xiaowei, When did you start calling me sister?"

On the other side, Mercury Xiaowei turned around, with her back turned to her, without speaking.

"...is it after...that?"

“…”

The dormitory became quiet, and water droplets slowly secreted from the corners of the walls due to the return of damp. Outside the closed door, someone ran past, and there was a bang, and it was unknown what hit the ground, making a crisp sound. I vaguely realized that I was a little slow sister, but I couldn't grasp what my sister was thinking, I didn't know what I should say, and finally I could only smile and say: "Actually, even if you call me by my name, I won't really say it." I'm so angry, I was born a little bit earlier than you!"

"...Hum!" The sound was as light as a dragonfly touching the water, and it sounded on the other bed.

"Don't think about it so much!" Mercury Xiaohan said with a smile, "When we have practiced a very powerful escape method here and everything is fine, we can go home. Mom and Dad will definitely see us when they see us. I will be happy. There are also the two little turtles in the water tank. I don’t know if they are okay, but the turtles can live for a long time, so don’t worry. We haven’t seen each other for so long, and my mother must be thinking about us... ..."

"... Mmm!"
