An obvious fact is that when you discuss favorite topics with others, time always flies by; but when you discuss less pleasant topics with others, time makes people feel tortured.
As Einstein once said, "If you let a man sit with a beautiful woman for an hour, he will feel as if only one minute has passed; but if you let him sit on a hot stove for one minute, he will feel as if
More than an hour passed."
Zheng Qing felt that it was debatable whether Ms. Pulitzer was considered a beauty, but he confirmed that he seemed to be sitting on a stove now.
He took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. Just half an hour had passed since he entered the coffee shop.
He hasn't even finished a cup of coffee.
But he felt that he had been chatting with the reporter from the Beta Town Post all day long - the cold sweat on his back was getting wet and dry, giving him a sticky and uncomfortable feeling.
He now desperately needs a strong rope to drag him out of this slippery quagmire.
At this moment, two figures that surprised him so much rushed into the coffee shop - the wish came so quickly that he almost suspected that what he just held was not a coffee cup, but an Aladdin's pot.
"Finally found you!" Xiao Xiao rushed into the coffee shop and broke through the silence barrier set by Ms. Pulitzer without realizing it. He interrupted the interview at the table and shouted to Zheng Qing with an anxious look on his face, "
Have you forgotten our mission? We’re going to be late! Let’s go!”
Ms. Pulitzer looked at the young wizard who suddenly broke in and said nothing.
Zheng Qing glanced at her quietly. He was very sure that Ms. Pulitzer had just glanced at the small arch on the table. The small bell hanging under the arch was as quiet as before. This meant that Xiao Xiao did not tell lies.
Of course, the reason why Ms. Pulitzer did not interrupt Xiao Xiao's speech may also be because of the greasy fat man in front of her.
"Oh, Ms. Pulitzer?!" Fatty Xin followed Xiao Xiao and rushed to the coffee table, approaching him like a pig, "Ms. Pulitzer! Ms. Pulitzer! It's a great honor to meet you! I
It’s Sin Banner Schmittbayer, editorial staff reporter for the First University newspaper. It’s such a pleasure to see you outside the newspaper... Can you sign my notebook?”
As he spoke, he couldn't help but stuff a thick and bulging notebook under the female reporter's nose.
Zheng Qing blinked, feeling that the scene was a bit confusing.
"You are classmate Xiao Xiao, right?! I am Lu Wei Pulitzer, a reporter from the Beta Town Post. As a special admissions student of Jiuyou College in 2008, are you interested in being interviewed by us?" The female reporter brushed her aside.
The fat man in front of him looked at Xiao Xiao eagerly and seemed to have a strong interest in him. "You can sit next to classmate Zheng Qing. Our interview is about to end."
"I'm sorry, we have other tasks to complete when we come to Beta Town." Xiao Xiao pushed Zheng Qing towards the door of the coffee shop while politely but firmly rejecting Ms. Pulitzer's invitation. "I'm very sorry! If you have time, I can
keep in touch."
This is a very widely used polite term, which means that there is a high probability that we will not contact you again.
On the other side, the fat classmate who was pushed away by the female reporter still persisted in pushing his notebook towards the female reporter. "Ms. Pulitzer, the 'Nine Unique Hunting Team' you published in the Beta Town Post some time ago,
It makes a profound and clear comparison and analysis between the hunting team of Jiuyou Academy and the hunting team of Alpha, and it is refreshing to see the big from the small."
Ms. Pulitzer's footsteps were finally blocked by the fat man.
Zheng Qing finally took this opportunity and escaped from the coffee shop with Xiao Xiao's help.
Until he was walking on the street, he still felt confused and confused about what had just happened.
"Why is it so urgent? Is there any time limit for that task?" Thinking of what Xiao Xiao said just now, Zheng Qing felt that he should be more friendly. "Also, thank you so much. The reporter asked me just now and I broke out in a cold sweat..."
"Are you really stupid?!" Xiao Xiao glanced at him and interrupted, "Everyone knows that there are three things you can't do at First University - unethical experiments, struggles between societies, and beta town mail.
newspaper interview.”
"I didn't originally want to." Zheng Qing tried to distance himself from the relationship.
"The first thought of all criminals is like this." Xiao Xiao sneered. "When Pulitzer's article is released in a few days, you will be able to feel the criminals' next thought - regret."
"Your analogy is inappropriate. I'm not a criminal." Zheng Qing coughed dryly and tried to change the topic. "Then, what are we going to do now? Are we going to find the Gini Hut now?"
He was deeply impressed by the prize-winning task he received from a secret bulletin board in the morning.
"If we find it, can we guarantee to finish it before six o'clock in the afternoon?" Xiao Xiao roared at him, "Hotel! We need to find a hotel to settle down now!!"
Zheng Qing leaned back slightly to avoid the doctor's spray of spittle.
"I remember that there is a 'portal' directly in and out of the First University in the North District of Beta Town," he murmured, "Why can't we go back in time after we finish our work?"
For a moment, what appeared in his mind was a small pink card with a shameful and revealing picture.
It is said that in the hotels in the North District of Beta Town, the custom industry represented by small cards is very popular, and many female magicians with weak magic abilities can only rely on this method to earn living expenses. Zheng Qing highly doubts whether Dr. Xiao Da wants to
What kind of pink activities can you accomplish while staying in a hotel?
But soon, his idea was dismissed.
"Because it's winter vacation now." A breathless voice sounded behind the two of them, answering Zheng Qing's doubts. "During the winter vacation, the external channels of First University are only partially open, and the opening time is limited - if you haven't remembered
No, after five o'clock in the evening, all doors back to campus will be closed - unless you have a special pass issued by the professor."
While talking, Fatty Xin had already ran to the side of his two companions.
He wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead and glanced at Zheng Qing, "You don't have that kind of pass, right?"
Zheng Qing nodded honestly.
"You came out so quickly?" He was a little curious about the fat man's speed and joked, "I just heard you were so enthusiastic, I thought you would treat Ms. Pulitzer to lunch."
"Then I have to accept my invitation." The fat man spat at the corner of the road, wiped his mouth, and hummed, "If I hadn't been more enthusiastic, would you have been rescued by the doctor so smoothly?"
Zheng Qing immediately closed his mouth.
At times like this, a thousand words are worth less than a moment of silence.
