It was eight in the morning. In a classroom of Xing Xian school, Bai Chen was sitting peacefully. His eyes were fixed on the delicate back in front of him. He smiled a little.
The owner of the said back seemed to notice that someone was watching, so she turned back. She asked Bai Chen curiously, “What are you smiling at?”
“Nothing,” Bai Chen replied whilst looking at the cute doll-like face in front of him.
That girl was Li Lin. She looked curiously at Bai Chen before knitting her brows and speaking.
“Don’t forget to tell me about last night,” Li Lin said. Her face showed intense curiosity.
Bai Chen almost stopped smiling. He had just remembered he needed to explain everything to her today.
In any case, he did not worry much. Last night after he got home, he had already come up with an alternative version of the story for Li Lin.
“Sure, I won’t forget. I’ll tell you after school,” Bai Chen said before turning towards the classroom door. “The teacher is here.”
Li Lin nodded, happy that Bai Chen had not forgotten his promise.
She turned back. Now they were both looking at the middle-aged female teacher with an average-looking face who had just walked in.
After all the students had welcomed her, the middle-aged teacher swept her eyes across the class. When she saw that only two students were absent today, she nodded joyfully.
She was the homeroom teacher of this class. That was why she was quite content to see that almost all of her students had shown up. She also had an important announcement for the class.
“Class, I have something important to inform you of today.”
The students heard her voice and went silent.
“Tomorrow will be the school’s field trip day. All high school seniors are required to participate.”
“Where will we go?” a male student asked excitedly.
A lot of students shared his excitement.
The middle-aged teacher looked at that student and nodded lightly.
“Good question. We are going to He Ling beach for three days and two nights. I want you to go home and inform your parents about this. Take this permission form with you to give to them.”
“He Ling beach!” a random girl shouted eagerly.
“We are going to He Ling beach!”
“Isn’t that insane?”
“It’s going to be so much fun...”
A commotion broke out in the class. Most of the students were shouting excitedly.
A field trip to the beach was basically just a recreational trip to the beach.
“Please settle down. Come take this permission form and then go home. Don’t forget to give it to your parents and inform them about the trip,” the female teacher said with a smile.
Xing Xian school’s field trip was meant to relax the high school seniors before they started working hard at the end of their school year. It was clear that the school cared about its pupils quite a lot.
The students calmed down and lined up to get their permission forms. Bai Chen and Li Lin were also in the line.
He was in line when he remembered that something like this had happened in his memory. He had to go on a field trip to He Ling beach, not far from Xing Zhou city.
Back then he did not go. The price was 500 yuan, and he did not want to waste his parents’ hard-earned money.
This time he decided to go. He was already a millionaire. Just 500 yuan was no problem to him.
Bai Chen was still due to receive another billion yuan from Tang Zi Cheng.
He did not worry that the money had not yet arrived. Li Lin had told him that Tang Zi Cheng needed an extension since withdrawing a billion yuan was no easy task.
Bai Chen was not in a hurry. He told Li Lin to tell Tang Zi Cheng to take his time.
More than half an hour passed. All the students had received their permission forms, and the homeroom teacher had already left the class. Most of the students also went home.
Only Bai Chen and Li Lin were left in the classroom.
About five minutes ago, Qian Bei had come by to ask Bai Chen to join him for dinner. Bai Chen had refused since he needed time alone to tell Li Lin his story.
Qian Bei had given him a thumbs-up before leaving with a big smile. He knew that Bai Chen and Li Lin must now be dating, or if not, it was something like that. His thought was quite close to the truth.
“Bai Chen, tell me already,” Li Lin said impatiently as she turned to look at him.
Bai Chen sat in front of her and nodded. “Okay, I’m telling you now...”
Bai Chen started his lie. He had spent quite some time on it last night.
After having heard the whole thing, Li Lin’s bright round eyes widened in surprise.
“Oh, so that’s how it is. You were quarreling with Uncle Zi Cheng because someone you know has the vaccine. Uncle Zi Cheng thought it was fake and could not cure GT-2. But when he discovered that it was real, he came to you to apologize and ask to buy it for a billion yuan!”
Li Lin finally got her answer. She did not suspect Bai Chen even a little. It seemed that she trusted him quite a lot.
