Night’s Nomenclature

“Just tell me where you live,” said Yangyang curiously.

Qing Chen looked at the girl. “I think before you ask me, shouldn’t you share a bit of your information first?”

“Okay, I’ll exchange my information with you,” Yangyang said with a smile, “I live at 802 Yunliu Building in District 6. Now it’s your turn.”

“How do I know if it’s true or not?” Qing Chen also said with a smile, “After all, you have a history of lying, so it’s better for us not to trust each other easily.”

“You’re so dishonest!” Yangyang pouted and said, “A few days ago, you were still saying how you won’t get the gravity chamber in the Inner World and your cultivation would be interrupted. Now you have the opportunity to continue, but you won’t cherish it! Look, the only reason why I’m asking where you live is so that I can help you cultivate!”

“Are you really trying to help me cultivate?” Qing Chen said calmly, “I feel like you just want to save money on food!”

“There are so many people who want to invite me to dinner, I just don’t feel bothered to attend.”

The two started arguing quietly in class, disregarding how other students were feeling all together.

In the eyes of their classmates, the arrival of this eye-catching transfer student Qing Chen was very interesting.

And the fact that this student sat down right next to Yangyang as soon as he came made it even more interesting.

People started wondering if Qing Chen, who was introduced to the class by the grade director herself, would be part of the Qing Corporation.

Usually, the children of the consortium would never go to school outside the upper three districts, because the educational resources available were vastly different.

But what if this transfer student came here specifically for Yangyang?

The child of the consortium transferred schools for an ordinary girl, a perfect opening for a light novel!

Soon, Qing Chen became mysterious in the eyes of all the other students.

The silver-haired girl looked at Qing Chen and Yangyang who were talking in a low voice, thinking of Qing Chen’s surname, and recalling that middle-aged man who came with him.

Suddenly, she felt that her previous guesses seemed to be in vain.

During class, the teacher walked into the classroom and spent 15 minutes reading what they were going to learn today, and then announced self-study for the rest of the class.

Qing Chen looked at the teacher’s back as she left and asked, “Is that how they teach?”

Yangyang said with a blank look on her face, “Public high schools here are extremely bad. This math teacher does not teach any content in school and does not answer students’ questions. If the students want to learn something, they must go to her after school sessions.”

After the teacher left, the classroom slowly became noisy, and the students started talking among each other.

Looking out of the window, the steel forest in the distance seemed gloomy, while the nearby campus remained peaceful.

Everywhere on campus, there were protest slogans posted by the student organization.

It was like a paradise here.

Qing Chen suddenly understood why Li Shutong had made him go to school. His master wanted him to be like other young people and be a student without any worries.

He wanted Qing Chen to have what he missed in the Outer World.

Li Shutong was telling him with actions: Don’t always think about racing against time, I will finish what I have to do, and you will make up for the life you have missed.

And girls.

Qing Chen’s life has been so bitter that Li Shutong hoped that he could pick up some things again.

The sunlight outside the window shone on Qing Chen’s face, and Yangyang beside him asked curiously, “What are you thinking about?”

“Nothing,” the teenager said with a smile.

The dismissal bell rang, and before Qing Chen got up to leave, he saw more than a dozen students rushing to the door of the classroom, waving excitedly at Yangyang.

Yangyang walked outside, and a girl took out a tablet and said, “Yangyang, more than 30 people signed up for the weekend protest this morning. They said they will meet us on Yunshang Square on time at 7 o’clock!”

The classmate beside her explained, “Although half of the people signed up for the free food and drinks, this is still an improvement. Yangyang, it’s such a great idea for you to found a sponsor for the event first!”

The students were chatting and smiling with excitement.

At this moment, Qing Chen turned around and asked a classmate behind him, “Hey, what is Yangyang’s full name?”

“She’s Chen Yangyang,” the classmate said if it was common sense. He even felt a little strange that this transfer student didn’t even know Yangyang’s full name yet had chatted so enthusiastically with Yangyang…

He saw for himself that Yangyang and Qing Chen had been whispering the whole morning!

Just when Qing Chen wanted to ask something else, Yangyang turned to him. Seeing that Qing Chen seemed to be prying on her secrets, she smiled and waved to him, “Qing Chen, come here.”

As she said that, Yangyang said to those classmates who came: “Let me introduce to you the student who just transferred to our school. He is very smart and wants to participate in our protest. He just told me that he had a great idea this morning and can’t wait to share it with everyone!”

Instantly, more than a dozen students all looked at Qing Chen.

Qing Chen just got up from his seat and he froze there.

Glancing at Yangyang, his eyes seemed to be saying: What in the world is this about?!

Qing Chen never expected that in addition to having to go to school in the Inner World, he still had to deal with Yangyang’s tricks!

He looked at everyone’s eyes filled with excitement, and suddenly said to Yangyang, “I want to re-plan the route of the protest to make the event more coherent… Right, you told me this morning that you want to make a song for this protest. You said that if we can organize all ten thousand people to sing a chorus, not only will it inspire the protesters, but also the people watching.”

Yangyang’s expression became complex. When did she even mention anything about a song? She knew nothing about music!

Yangyang thought about it and said, “I did have an idea like that, but I don’t have what it takes to make it.”

Qing Chen said, “You sang it to me this morning. It sounded very nice, but I can’t remember it very well. How about you sing it for everyone?”

Yangyang looked at Qing Chen with an awkward smile, and the two liars looked at each other silently.

At this time, in order to prevent further embarrassment, Qing Chen hurriedly said, “Well… you guys continue, I still have some stuff to do.”

Then, he walked out of the classroom and quickly walked through the hallway.

However, Yangyang said, “Hey, wait up. Let’s go together.”

The crowd suddenly fell silent, and they all looked at Qing Chen again.

Looking at his back, they saw the spotless white sportswear with his exceptionally tall and straight figure.

When they thought of Qing Chen’s face, they couldn’t help but think that Yangyang and him were a great match.

Unexpectedly, Qing Chen didn’t stop after Yangyang called out to him but started walking even faster. He was even about to start running!

Seeing this, Yangyang said to everyone, “I’m sorry, I have to go too. There’s something I have to discuss with him!”

Then, Yangyang chased after him. Her long black hair fluttered behind.

At the door of the classroom, all the students looked at the backs of the two silently, and a strange image formed in front of them in the hallway. Everyone felt like they were just a foil in this image.

They heard Yangyang’s voice as she ran next to Qing Chen and started walking beside him. “Are we going to your house or mine?”

The classmates: “???”

The students looked at each other in blank dismay, and their expressions were full of shock.

How did this unfold? Did someone press the fast-forward button on the world? !

What actually happened?

Beside Qing Chen, Yangyang put her hands in her sweater pockets and said with a smile, “Don’t be so impatient, let’s do the protest together. You don’t get to see such things very often in the Outer World.”

“No,” Qing Chen shook his head.

Yangyang said, “Don’t you think it’s very interesting? Compared with the high school students here, the high school students in the Outer World only know how to answer test questions.”

While talking, the two stepped onto the light rail that stopped at the school gate.

Yangyang was stunned for a moment as she saw Zheng Yi, the silver-haired girl in their class, already on the train, “Hey, Zheng Yi, do you go home on Route 21 light rail too?”

“Yeah,” Zheng Yi nodded and she looked at Qing Chen, “He and I are neighbors. We live just across the hall.”

When Qing Chen saw Yangyang’s eyes suddenly brighten, he immediately knew that it was over for him.
