Two girls wearing beautiful clothes that looked like they were going home were carrying small bags and passed by another girl wearing a blue and white school uniform carrying a bucket and mop. They waved and said hello casually, but what about the invitation?
See how insincere it is.
"No, I'll finish it soon. This venue will be used tomorrow." Holding the poke in her hand, the girl known as "Xiao Jing" shook her head.
She is not tall, has slightly yellowed ear-length hair, her skin looks a little sickly pale, her face is slightly round, and her facial features are relatively ordinary. She is the kind of person who would not be found in a crowd, let alone in a crowd.
There were so many handsome guys and beautiful girls.
"Volunteers don't need to be so serious. Just sweep casually. Foreigners can't see it anyway. They will be dirty again tomorrow if they step back and forth."
"But that's what Xiaojing is good at. She is serious and reliable in her work. The 'boss' just praises her when everything is fine, right?"
"Then keep busy and we'll see you tomorrow~"
One of the girls was talking as if she was about to say something sarcastic, but she was pulled by another girl before she finally stopped. After hearing a few polite words from the other girl, she left with her.
"..." Xiaojing watched them leave, was silent for a moment, and walked towards the sanitary equipment room with the bucket in hand.
Her name is Jin Jing, she is twenty-two years old and is a sophomore in college. The reason why she has not returned to the dormitory so late is because she is doing what they call a "volunteer."
The World Cup will be held in ■■ City starting from September ■. In order to avoid waste, most of the matches will be rented in stadiums of various universities. For safety reasons, the work originally outsourced to cleaning companies will be transferred to
School workers came to carry out the work, but the number of school workers was not enough. So one of the school leaders had an idea and decided to let the students participate in the maintenance of the venue as "volunteers". Of course, they would also be given some "social practice"
credit.
Jin Jing is not a scumbag, but she is not a top student either. Her grades are just as average as her appearance. She is not very sure about whether she can pass some subjects, so she takes the initiative to sign up to participate in this "social practice" that guarantees credits, and then finds that she seems to be the only one.
One student took the initiative to sign up, while the other students were waiting for the class teacher nicknamed "Boss" to force him to make arrangements.
This is the problem with her interpersonal relationships that are as ordinary as her appearance - no one came to tell her that everyone decided not to take the initiative to sign up. Although she tried hard to build a good relationship with her classmates throughout her freshman year, the effect was not good.
Jia, after all, her appearance, grades, and abilities must all be equally outstanding in order for people to pay attention and interact with her. Specifically, no one will take the initiative to approach her for some cooperation projects, but there will be no unpleasantness in being assigned together.
This involves her "ability". Generally speaking, whether she is strong in organization, execution, or creativity, she can basically soar as long as she has the opportunity. But Jin Jing is different. She insists on summarizing
In other words, she has "strong endurance", that is, if she is asked to do any daily tasks, she will never "break up", no matter how boring it is, it is as if she has an alarm clock in her head, setting the time every day
Reminds you when to do something, what has been done, and what has not been done.

The first time this ability was shown to people was in elementary school. At that time, the class teacher in the second grade asked the children to write diaries and submit them to her once a week. At that time, some children kept forgetting. After the class teachers were changed in the third and fourth grades,
, because the new class teacher didn’t know about it and no one mentioned it, there were no children writing at all. And in the fifth grade, the class teacher changed back for some reason and reassigned the “diary writing” assignment.
When the dozen or so diaries were handed in, the old lady, who always had a kind face and seemed to have everything under control, showed a dumbfounded expression for the first time.
Because of this "ability", Jin Jing was completely "other people's child" when she was in elementary school and junior high school. There were various awards and certificates all over the wall, and her mother would always show them off.
Obviously, the knowledge learned at this stage is completely based on the foundation, and there is almost no free play. As long as you are not playful and willing to memorize, there is no problem in stabilizing double hundred.
But... after entering high school, things became troublesome. Subjects such as mathematics, physics, and chemistry that must be "played by oneself" were extremely difficult for Jin Jing. She remembered the formulas and theorems, and the more obvious questions.
She was able to get in, but those big questions that deliberately tested the students' creativity and logical thinking ability directly confused her. As a result, the external manifestation was that her academic performance began to decline steadily.
At this stage, Jin Jing has been able to basically judge his own limits, that is, if he can "memorize by rote", he will have no problem, but if he can "flexibly apply", he should give up and should consider applying for liberal arts.
But their parents disagreed. At that time, the argument came from nowhere that science subjects had a better future than liberal arts subjects. Jin Jing, as their pride for so many years, naturally wanted to apply for science subjects. If she did not do well in science subjects, she would enroll in cram schools or do more
Question.
This decision made Jin Jing hate Huanggang deeply and decided never to set foot in that place.
However, the question sea tactic still has some effects. Others learn problem-solving ideas from the question sea, but she memorizes the question types. After all, for the same theorem and formula, there are only so many ways to solve the problem.
The external manifestation of this is that the scores in the mock exams are getting higher and higher each time. The parents are very happy that their smart daughter is back. But only Jin Jing knows that for her, every time she takes a question, she has to interact with the teacher who gave the question.
In a duel in the arena, she had to observe the movement of the teacher who asked the question, the shaking of his shoulders, the position of his eyes, and the muscles that tightened at the moment when he exerted force. She would either KO the teacher who gave the question or be KO herself. There was no second chance.
possibility.
In the end, she narrowly defeated the teacher who set the college entrance examination questions in the college entrance examination arena, and successfully passed the entrance exam for the ■■ department of ■■■■.
Then, she fell into confusion, because her parents completely gave up their "arrangements" for her after she was admitted to college, as if their mission was to send her to the battlefield of college entrance examination, and they didn't care about what happened after that.
, when she went home during the vacation, they stopped asking about her grades and started talking about what kind of job she would find in the future and what kind of person she would marry.
So... in their minds, going to college means the end of their student days, and they have to prepare to enter the society. However, after being a good daughter and a good student for more than ten years, and having almost never made friends with boys, they have to...
Marry someone immediately after graduating from college in four years, otherwise they will lose face.
It seems that you are the ones who have been telling you not to fall in love early since junior high school, right? It’s only been four years... is college such a scary place?
Although he could not understand this change, Jin Jing could only take one step at a time. To use an inappropriate metaphor, it was like a horse whose bridle was taken off from childhood and then told that it could run as it pleased. This horse
After the horse has been confused for a while, it will probably have to return to the familiar path from the trot.
For Jin Jing, "the road to becoming familiar with it since childhood" is learning. Although some subjects in college include more "free play" and rote memorization has almost no effect, there are at least some "useful" subjects.
, as a result, as a student with a "serious partiality", she had to sign up as a volunteer to get those few credits.
————
As a volunteer of ■■■, naturally it is not as simple as cleaning. Inspection of relevant equipment, confirmation of material reserves, handling of complaints and maintenance of on-site order are all part of the job.
It is difficult for Jin Jing to understand why students can escape from this kind of step-by-step, everything can be done according to the preset procedures. Except for those that cannot be avoided, they basically escape whenever they can, out of the idea of taking care of their classmates.
, when the volunteers in her group leave, she will take the initiative to finish the work for them.
At first, the girls were a little grateful, and their relationship with their classmates, which had been stagnant, tended to gradually become friends. However, after the head teacher quietly came to inspect the work and severely criticized those who had left the class, things started to go wrong.
The evaluation of her by outsiders has changed from "serious and responsible", "hard-working and reliable" to "deep-minded" and "likes to express herself".
...You finish your work seriously every day because you like to show off? Who would have guessed that the head teacher would suddenly come to visit the class?
Because it is difficult to understand this logic, Jin Jing does not have many thoughts about the freezing of interpersonal relationships again. Of course, she will not give up her usual principles of behavior because of these comments, but will continue to diligently complete her "volunteer" duties.
.
Maybe... after the ■■■ is over and I return to my study state, I, an ordinary person who has always been wandering in the middle, will not attract so much attention.
While Jin Jing was thinking, she soaked the mop with the faucet in the equipment room, rinsed it, and then wrung it dry on the sanitation cart.
Hmm...it's really hard to understand. She looked at the dirty mop with the numbers of other volunteers hanging on it and thought, after cleaning it today, it can be used directly by rinsing it tomorrow instead of having to get together in the morning when everyone is running the faucet. This kind of
Are things difficult to understand? Isn't it normal not to leave today's work until tomorrow?
Of course, she is not a silly little girl. It is enough to ensure that the volunteer work at the ■■■■ gymnasium is completed. There is no need to pack up other volunteers' tools for them. She still understands the principle of friendship and hatred.
of.
"Then, make sure all the equipment is turned off before you leave." Jin Jing washed her hands and dried them, took out her Qingtian Piggy bag from the volunteer locker next to her, and prepared to make a final inspection of all the items belonging to her group.
Areas that volunteers are responsible for.
Basically, only the ■■■, ■■■■ rooms and ■■■ rooms need special attention. If the power supply in these places is not turned off overnight, there may be problems. As for others, such as the lights in the equipment room, even if they are left alone
One night is no problem.
Look, I am also very lazy. Jin Jing laughed to herself and turned off the light in the equipment room.
————
When Jin Jing came to the room on the thirteenth floor, she was not surprised to find that the lights were still on.
There is a series of troublesome procedures for shutting down the equipment here. You cannot turn it off by simply turning it off. It may also cause it to run on the backup power supply overnight, causing the backup power supply to run out of power. Therefore, some "smart" students choose not to turn it off directly.
, and Jin Jing, who was specifically emphasized several times that this equipment must be turned off after becoming a volunteer, naturally would not do that.
However, what is a little strange is that there is someone in the ■■■■ room at this time, and there is a voice speaking very fast in an unknown language coming from the computer room.
“%￥#@&——”“”#@￥%&——”
A common problem among Chinese people who are new to foreign languages is that as long as the foreigner changes his tone or speed when speaking, and pops out one or two abbreviations and slang, he will no longer be able to understand the entire sentence.
"Gentlemen, what did you miss?" Jin Jing opened the door and asked in a slightly broken language.
Inside at the moment are two Chinese athletes, or in other words, Chinese people wearing athletes' clothes. They are gesticulating at the equipment.
Jin Jing wasn't sure if he had seen them on the field, but if they had won medals, they might have been here, but they probably wouldn't have left their belongings behind.
"Oh, we are destined to return to China. If I have a chance to come here, I plan to beat myself up so I can see." The language of these two Chinese athletes was even worse than Jin Jing's.
Maybe it's the dialect... Jin Jing blinked and looked at the SLRs they were holding: "Do you need my help to take a picture?"
"Oh, no need to worry, we are getting ready to leave," the athlete hid the camera back: "I wish you good luck, Miss Volunteer."
"...please?"
Jin Jing watched inexplicably as the two Chinese athletes ran away at a speed that was close to fleeing.
Maybe for them, sneaking into the room to take pictures is against discipline?
She thought about it for a while, but couldn't figure it out, so she walked to the compartment in the hall to turn off the ■■■■ equipment.
Boom, boom, boom, boom.
The red indicator lights on the huge equipment went out one by one, and the roar inside gradually disappeared.
I don’t know what the principle is of this kind of device that cannot be turned off even though it is powered off directly, but it is probably not within the scope of my profession that needs to be considered.
"Well... it's already past nine o'clock. If you go back now, let's bring some midnight snacks to those two foodies." After Jin Jing turned off the equipment and left the ■■■■ room, she muttered to herself as she walked outside the gymnasium:
"But the dormitory aunt is nagging us again, as if no matter what we eat, we will instantly become fat - ahem!"
The sudden foreign body sensation in her throat made Jin Jing subconsciously bend over and cough for a while.
"Huh...huh?"
When Jin Jing straightened up again, she found that the door leading to the outside of the gymnasium in front of her was replaced by a gray-white thick fog. Before she had time to think about what it was, a large black cloud, like ashes, suddenly poured out of the thick fog.
