Chapter 62 Once
Having learned about the past, I realized that nothing much has changed.
Jiang Xingni had no reason to refuse the main characters' invitation.
Her gaze fell thoughtfully on Xiao Jiming. Unexpectedly, Jiang Xingni was so perceptive. Xiao Jiming only had time to give her a quick smile before he saw Jiang Xingni withdraw her gaze.
"So, you'll join us, right?" Song Juexiao asked again.
The familiar question came out of her fingertips, and she typed it so many times that the line after "you will" flowed out like a stream of water.
Seeing Jiang Xingni's somewhat amused expression, Song Juexiao's gaze wandered.
"Of course." She gave this answer without hesitation, and then saw Song Juexiao visibly breathe a sigh of relief.
Jiang Xingni just wanted to tell herself not to worry so much; she really had no reason to refuse.
"But isn't it winter break now?" Jiang Xingni asked slowly, a moment of confusion in her eyes. "Doesn't your school have winter break?"
Jiang Xingni knew, of course, that it was winter break, and that the group of them had come out because of their winter break training mission.
Xiao Jiming and Song Juexiao exchanged a glance: "You can think of it as holiday homework."
This wasn't something Jiang Xingni cared about. She pondered for a moment, then murmured to herself, "Then the teachers at your school must be working very hard."
—Not only do they have to teach students during regular school days, but they also have to clean up the messes left by the students during winter and summer vacations.
Listening to the two people's current meaning, Jiang Xingni guessed logically that even during the holidays, their school definitely did not rest.
Otherwise, they would say, "After school starts or after work starts," instead of not mentioning the time at all, as they are doing now.
It's like being at work all the time, without ever having to imagine days when no one is on duty.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xingni saw Xiao Jiming and Song Juexiao exchange another glance. This time, Jiang Xingni clearly saw what could be described as a guilty conscience in their eyes.
Jiang Xingni: ?
Jiang Xingni raised an eyebrow thoughtfully.
"Mr. Lin," Xiao Jiming said. "Mr. Lin Hongguang is one of our teachers—although he is also considered our deputy in field missions."
Jiang Xingni tried hard to understand the meaning of the sentence, but found that the world and relationships behind the curtain were still difficult for her to comprehend.
"Mr. Lin is an ordinary person, but he understands a lot about unusual phenomena," Song Juexiao added, holding up his phone. "But he is still an ordinary person."
Jiang Xingni understood.
An important plot NPC can cultivate goodwill with the main characters at this time, so that they can be killed off later in the story to make readers cry.
Jiang Xingni was very familiar with this kind of plot.
Moreover, it is remarkable that an ordinary person could become the protagonist group's teacher, be trusted by them, and possess extraordinary knowledge of unusual phenomena.
Jiang Xingni himself didn't believe that he didn't have any secrets.
"Mr. Lin must have worked really hard." Jiang Xingni recalled the good deeds he and the main characters had done in the last instance.
It wasn't until the incident occurred and they entered the Ghost Realm that Lin Hongguang learned what these children had been doing behind his back.
Although he didn't start this, and they would have done it even without Jiang Xingni, Jiang Xingni still felt a rare sense of guilt.
The three people looked at each other, and without prior arrangement, they all saw the guilty conscience in each other's eyes.
Jiang Xingni finally understood why Xiao Jiming and Song Juexiao felt guilty.
She now felt that Lin Hongguang had a really good temper. If it were her, she would have scolded the group of minors who were running around everywhere.
Xiao Jiming seemed to have figured out what Jiang Xingni was thinking. With a hint of a smile in his eyes, the young man slowly added, "Mr. Lin has already scolded us."
"The reason he didn't tell you is probably because you're not from our college, so he didn't have a chance to criticize you," Xiao Jiming said with a smile as he glanced at Jiang Xingni.
Jiang Xingni could clearly see what was hidden beneath Xiao Jiming's cheerful smile.
You are not from Taixu Academy, so Lin Hongguang, as a stranger, has no reason to lecture you.
But if you enroll, you'll be getting a lesson along with us.
To be honest, Jiang Xingni didn't care too much about the slightly malicious intentions that Xiao Jiming had shown.
Her gaze shifted from Xiao Jiming to Lin Hongguang outside the door.
"Have you made up your mind?" Lin Hongguang asked calmly. After receiving Jiang Xingni's nod in response, he almost couldn't wait and quickly led Jiang Xingni to start processing the formalities.
The procedures were completed very quickly.
Jiang Xingni never imagined that an enrollment procedure could be processed so quickly behind the scenes.
Jiang Xingni doesn't even need to bring an ID card, household registration book, or file; all he needs to do is show up.
However, Jiang Xingni really suspected that if she hadn't happened to be here to express her agreement, the enrollment procedures could have been completed even if she wasn't there.
By the time Jiang Xingni realized what was happening, she had already completed the enrollment procedures.
"The spring semester officially starts, and I'll send you the relevant notification then," Lin Hongguang said calmly, adjusting his glasses. "You'll be in the same class as Xiao Jiming and the others."
"I am your counselor—you can think of me as a tutor, or someone similar to a homeroom teacher."
Then a smile appeared on Lin Hongguang's face: "Since these things are matters for later, let's talk about what happened a couple of days ago when you left without permission with Xiao Jiming and the others."
Lin Hongguang stood at the door of an empty room that had been cleared out, waiting for Jiang Xingni to enter.
Jiang Xingni noticed that someone's gaze was on her. She looked around and, sure enough, from Xiao Jiming to Su Yanzhi, the main characters and the reserve members were all there, all there to see her make a fool of herself.
Jiang Xingni followed Lin Hongguang into the empty room with a smile, showing no fear.
Jiang Xingni, who grew up in the lower city, has never been considered a good kid.
Skipping classes, leaving early, and being late often happened. Although Jiang Xingni was able to avoid a lot of criticism because of her good grades, she also cultivated the little girl's ability to admit her mistakes and write self-criticisms to a very high level.
When the two came out again, Xiao Jiming and his group were very disappointed to see that Jiang Xingni's smile had not only not disappeared, but had even become brighter.
In contrast to her, Lin Hongguang, who came out from the other side, had a noticeably darker complexion.
The group looked at each other for a few seconds, then wisely dispersed.
Watching her future classmate run away, the little girl couldn't help but laugh, which was rare for her.
"So..." she said in a low voice, making sure only Lin Hongguang could hear her. "Teacher, you were also a superhuman, weren't you?"
