It's just a grocery store.

Chapter 218 This is an abnormal college

As expected, because there were too many things, when I opened the door at midnight, I could vaguely see that the lady looked tired.

Zero hour: "Would you like a cup of milk tea?"

"No, thank you. Be careful with your indigestion and go to bed early. I'll come back tomorrow morning. Good night."

The lady put the takeaway in Lingshi's hand and ran away without saying a word, as if she was afraid that Lingshi would ask her for something rudely again.

Zero Hour: Oh, I don’t look that scary.

System: Do you mean that the fact that you can eat a bowl of wontons, a serving of spicy hot pot, a bowl of bibimbap and two cups of milk tea is not scary?

Midnight: ...If you have the guts, don’t eat it.

System: Oh my, I was just kidding. The host is the best to me, how could he starve me?

You always have to hold on to the system's tail, otherwise it has been trying to take advantage of Lingshi recently. It seems that it has learned bad things from Lingshi because its way of dealing with people is exactly the same.

So sometimes Zero Hour can't win and has to use insidious tactics to force the system to lick Zero Hour, because it is really greedy.

I took a photo and sent it to Huang Quan to check in. Not surprisingly, Huang Quan kept saying that I had eaten too much. Even if Tongzi ordered too much, he should not force me to eat more.

She agreed to all of them at midnight and simply ate while talking on the phone with Huang Quan. After Meimei had her fill, she didn't delay doing anything else. She went into the bathroom to take a shower and went straight to bed to continue talking on the phone.

But Huang Quan seemed to have heard the lady say to go to bed early, so he urged Lingshi to go to bed without talking to him for long. After all, he probably had to get up early tomorrow.

Midnight: "Hey, it's so early, only half past ten."

Huang Quan: "Be obedient. Go to bed early so you can get up later. Don't vent your anger outside."

Zero Hour: “Oh…”

Lingshi stretched out his tone, but did not object. After all, he also hoped to finish it quickly and go back. Although it was very comfortable in the country, it was boring to be alone.

Perhaps a long, long time later, when everything is over, Lingshi and Huang Quan will travel around the world, and then come back here to retire, to Lingshi's hometown in his previous life.

Because I went to bed early at night, I opened my eyes very early the next day at midnight as Huang Quan had expected. I was used to the bed and had enough sleep, so I woke up quickly at midnight without any irritability.

I grabbed the system at midnight and went to wash up. I sent a message with one hand to say good morning and harassed Conan at the same time. As expected, he was disliked.

Just when Lingshi had finished cleaning up, there was a knock on the door, not a minute or a second late, just at the same time. Lingshi immediately went over and opened the door.

Miss Lin Zihan outside the door was startled, and then immediately put on a business smile, which showed that she was quite dedicated.

"Then please follow me. I'll take you to see our students. There must be the child you want among them."

Through more specific introductions, Lingshi learned that the reason she could say this with such certainty was that all the people here were selected through welfare homes or special circumstances.

So it wouldn't matter if Ling Shi was taken away, it would just be an adoption procedure. Of course, that's why this place is not called an orphanage but a college.

The most important thing is that the children who can come here are special.

Lin Zihan brought Lingshi to one of the classrooms, where children aged between seven and twelve were taught. However, the subjects taught there didn’t seem to be the usual Chinese, math, and English. What was going on?

Seeing Ling Shi's doubts, Lin Zihan explained thoughtfully:

"We have normal subjects, but this is our special teaching now, which is to cultivate children's specialties."

"Please follow me over here. This is the senior class. We are currently teaching about brain flexibility."

Midnight: I don’t understand what you are saying. This is the first time I have seen this kind of thing.

After a round, there were about five classes, each with a dozen children, but I couldn't see the person I was looking for at zero o'clock from here.

Lin Zihan naturally knew this, so he said:

"I'm showing you this mainly to let you know that our teaching here is guaranteed. If you need more details, please talk to our dean. Please come this way."

Midnight: ...

If you had told me earlier, I would have believed it. I don’t really need to inspect your educational work like a leader.

I felt like I had gone through all that trouble in vain, and I felt very upset. After all, they meant well and just wanted to reassure me.

Lingshi had no choice but to follow her out. Before leaving, he looked towards one of the classes. A child turned his head and met his gaze. Lingshi blinked and then showed his signature smile.

But he couldn't do anything so he just turned his eyes away and followed her. The girl was quite cute and he didn't mind smiling at her.

In the dean's office, there was a male dean and a female dean. At first, I thought one of them was the vice-dean.

But after the introduction, it turned out that both of them are deans, just responsible for different types of children. The female dean, Dean Wang, is in charge of the School of Physical Education, while the other Dean Li is in charge of the School of Arts.

Anyway, that's how Lingshi understood it. After greeting and exchanging pleasantries, the two deans began to ask Lingshi what kind of child he would like to adopt.

Ling Shi: "A relatively calm child, hopefully one with a certain level of martial arts skills. My child is quite intelligent, so he doesn't need to be extremely smart, but if possible, he must be able to keep up with his thinking."

The two deans looked at each other and continued to ask about the situation of Lingshi's child.

Ling Shi knew what they were worried about, and he immediately said:

"This is a child that a friend has placed with me, but I treat him like my own. He's very smart. At least I dare say his IQ is not any worse than yours."

Dean Li laughed when talking about this. He had never seen anyone who dared to speak so brazenly, and he had never seen a child in his hospital dare to speak so brazenly.

So according to Lingshi's request, the two deans each selected three children from their own schools. Of course, it was not only Lingshi who made the choice, but also the children who chose whether they were willing to go with Lingshi.

So Lin Zihan asked about Ling Shi's occupation, current financial situation, and family composition.

Lingshi is very righteous, but if it’s just his occupation, he seems to be a vagrant, so let’s use the name of a grocery store.

The two deans were indeed not ordinary people. They did not look down on Ling Shi for claiming to be the owner of a grocery store. Instead, they began to brainstorm about the information of this grocery store.

One of the six children didn't want to come, so there were only five people present. It seems that that person was not destined to come.

Speaking of fate, Lingshi's eyes lit up when he saw the girl. She was the one who had just met his eyes. She looked to be about eight or nine years old.

"Okay, you can introduce yourselves and ask for some information about Mr. Zero. We're right here, don't worry."

Dean Wang seemed to be saying this to the children, but in fact it was more like she was saying it to Lingshi, as if to say that she was right here and that they shouldn't try to bully her children.

Zero Hour: No, I just want to ask if everyone has this procedure. Do I look like the kind of person who bullies kids?

System: Hahahaha.
