"Xiao Si, havent seen you for a whole summer vacation, have you finished your homework?" Li Dongfang jumped up and down, patting Su Xichens shoulder.
"Oh, right, I have a question for you." Su Xichen turned around and saw Li Dongfangs small face as red as an apple, with a small nose and dimples when he smiled.
"Whats wrong?"
"Head of the class, isnt your fathers surname Li and your mothers surname Dongfang?" asked Su Xichen.
"Why are you asking this? Of course not. By the way, is there an Eastern surname?" Li Dongfang asked, shaking his little head.
"Of course there is, Dongfang Bu Bai." Su Xichen said with a smile.
"Who is Dongfang Bubai?"
"Hmm, youll know soon enough." Su Xichen said with a smile.
A gentle breeze on the small road, lush green shade.
"This isnt the way to Xiaosi School" Li Dongfang stretched out his hand and pointed to the left "The school should be that way, Xiaosi you cant have forgotten the location of your school after just one summer vacation?" He covered his mouth with a look of exaggerated surprise.
Su Zhe stopped in his tracks and stared straight at Li Dongfang with an invasive gaze.
Li Dongfang was only a fourteen-year-old little girl, and she couldnt help but back away repeatedly under Su Shicuns direct stare.
"Youre staring at me like this... whats wrong with you? Is there something dirty on my face?"
"Suddenly, Su Xichen asked, Head monitor, whats the craziest thing youve ever done in school?"
"Is being late for class considered crazy?" Li Dongfang said with a pout.
"Thats nothing crazy, Im often late." Su Xichen sneered with a curl of his lip.
Su Rui Chen and Li Dong Fang were classmates in the 20th grade of Experimental Junior High School. The 10th class was the top class of Experimental Junior High, and its promotion rate depended on this class. Li Dong Fang was the first in the top class, and he had never been out of the top three in the annual exams. For such a good student, being late was indeed the craziest thing.
"Have you heard of a phrase, class monitor?"
"Whats up?"
"If we dont go crazy, well get old. Without memories, how can we pay our respects? Whats the point of being eternal if we miss out on everything?" Su Xichen paused for a moment "Head Monitor, were now in second year of junior high and will graduate in another year. Have you ever thought that when we graduate from junior high, well realize that all we did in school was study, and nothing else?"
"Although you, the class president, were always number one in grades, when you grow up and look back on your youth, youll find that you spent all your time studying and didnt experience anything. Youre not even as good as those bad students who fooled around in school, at least they had some wild times, argued with teachers, and didnt do their homework. Although the consequences were severe, looking back, remembering your youthful recklessness will be quite amusing and make you laugh. Isnt that right, class president?" Su Rui Chens long speech left Li Dong Fang speechless.
"Whats going to happen now?" Hearing that he was even worse than the worst student in his class, Li Dongfang, who had always been a bit proud, became anxious. "What can be done? Is there any way to make my junior high school life more memorable?"
"Dare you skip class?" Su Xichen asked with a hint of provocation.
"Ah! Skipping class?" Li Dongfang was startled, skipping class might not be a big deal for universities or vocational schools, but for junior high school students, the severity of skipping class is comparable to murder and arson.
Even those bad students in our class have never played truant.
"If I skip class and the teacher finds out...Ill be in big trouble, if my dad finds out..."
"Yo, our beloved class monitor is scared, huh."
Li Dongfang was indeed afraid, a 14-year-old girl who excelled in both character and academics, for whom being late was an extremely evil thing. However, Li Dongfang felt uneasy listening to Su Xichens teasing tone, and stubbornly said "Hmph, who says Im afraid? Im not afraid at all! Its just skipping class with you, whos afraid of whom?"
As soon as she spoke, Li Dongfang regretted it, but Su Xichen didnt give her another chance to speak.
"Thats settled then, since were going to skip class, Class Monitor Li will take you to a fun place." Although Li Dongfang was clever, how could he possibly be Su Xiuqin, this uncle who looked fourteen on the outside but had a heart of thirty-two?
All along the way, Li Dongfang felt a bit depressed and anxious, increasingly regretting his decision "That..."
"Head of the class, youre not afraid and wanting to go back to school, are you?"
"Of course... no." Li Dongfangs small face turned red.
"In this way, on the road there is also some boredom. The head of the class asks you a very simple question: if one equals five, two equals nine, three equals thirteen, four equals seventeen, what does five equal?"
"Hmm, this is simple, five equals twenty-one, the rule between them is to multiply by four and add one." Li Dongfang.
"No, no, no, wrong answer, Ill give you another chance."
"How can it be wrong? 2 times 4 plus 1 equals 9, 3 times 4 plus 1 equals 13, 4 times 4 plus 1 equals 17, and 5 times 4 plus 1 is equal to 21."
"Hmm, makes sense, but still got it wrong." Su Xichen said.
"How is it possible? Whats the answer?"
"The answer is five equals one," Su Xichen said with a smile.
"Equal to one" Li Dongfang was stunned for a moment, didnt react at first, then suddenly understood, one equals five, and five naturally equals one.
"Hmm, this is a brain teaser, not a math problem."
"When did I say this was a math problem?" Su Xichen.
"Hmph" Li Dongfang pouted and turned her ponytail towards Su Xichen.
"Dont be discouraged, Class Monitor. According to Yale University psychologist Peter Salovey, the success factor of a person is only 20% IQ and about 60% EQ." Li Dongfang gave Su Xichen a stress ball and rolled his eyes.
"The monitor gave you a pair of bright eyes in the dark of night, but you use them to roll your eyes, what a waste of natural talent."
Li Dongfang chuckled and immediately put on a serious face, "Little Fourth, its been a summer holiday since I last saw you, youve become eloquent. You test me, and Ill also test you with a question."
"Do you know about Horse Flies effect?" Li Dongfang repeated again, then provocatively glanced at Su Xichen "Dont know, huh."
Just mention a word and you can know its meaning, not to mention junior high school students, even high school students and college students do not have such ability. In fact, this word was also seen by Li Dongfang in a book his parents read, and then he copied it down to ask the English teacher, but now he is using it to tease Su Cheng.
Su Shuai smiled slightly and pursed her lips.
"Whats so funny? You definitely dont know." Li Dongfang.
"If I knew how to say it."
"If you knew, if you knew..." Li Dongfang tilted his small head, unable to think of what to do.
"Alright, lets make a bet. If I can say the meaning of that English sentence, then you, Head Monitor, have to agree to a not-too-unreasonable request from me."
Not an unreasonable request, note that the wording is "not too excessive"…
"Good." Li Dongfang thought for a moment and agreed, certain that Su Xichen would not be able to answer.
"The Horse Flies effect, translated into Chinese, means the horsefly effect. Its very straightforward and easy to understand. Even the laziest horse will be spirited and alert if there are horseflies biting it." Su Xichens mouth curved up in a smile that was both smiling and not smiling at the same time. "The Horse Flies effect mainly refers to leaders understanding how to motivate their employees."
"What horse, horsefly, Little Four you must be talking nonsense, Ive never heard of it."
"That class monitor went back to look up the English dictionary or asked the teacher."
"There are many such animal metaphor effects, such as the Crab Syndrome, Frog Effect, Catfish Effect, and most famously, the Butterfly Effect."
"Dont forget our bet earlier, class monitor."
"Hmm" Li Dongfang snorted, meanwhile muttering to himself in his mind, when did Xiao Si become so knowledgeable, the string of effects she mentioned earlier, he had heard of the butterfly effect.
"Xiao Si, where are you taking me?"
"Where is it, of course its a good place, hurry up and follow me," Su Xichen said as he ran towards the sunrise with his backpack on. Li Dongfang followed behind him. After running for about three minutes, Su Xichen finally stopped, but by this time Li Dongfang was already panting heavily.
"Alright, arrived."
"Arrived?" Li Dongfang was puzzled "Xiao Si brought me here, who doesnt know the Star Building."
"Everyone knows about the Star Building, but have you ever been inside, Headmaster?"
"How can I get in? Dont you need a work permit to enter?"
"We snuck in." Su Xichen dragged Li Dongfang inside, wasnt it sneaking in? Why is he now walking in with a swagger?
Li Dongfang followed Su Rui Chen with a thumping heart.
In this society bound by law and morality, everyone has some rebellious psychology in their heart.
Some people are confined within themselves and live a normal life outside the prison, while others are not confined but live a prisoners life inside.
Li Dongfang, this three-good student, also had some rebelliousness, from the initial anxiety of skipping school to finally feeling a thrill in his heart.
When they arrived at the front desk of the building, Li Dongfang was already prepared to be kicked out, but Su Shicen whispered a few words and finally the receptionist let Su Shicen into the building.
"Whats the monitor still standing there for, hurry up and leave." Li Dongfang followed behind with a small backpack "Hey, hey, why did the receptionist let you in?"
"This is easy, I used my good looks to charm the receptionist, with my unparalleled handsome appearance, she was naturally enchanted and let us in." Su Xichen shamelessly boasted about himself.
"Cut," Li Dongfang wrinkled his nose "Handsome, I think its a crickets chirp"
"Where are we going now?"
"Nature is on the 18th floor". The Star Building has a total of thirty-seven floors, and many units are located in this building.
Su Shilei and Li Dongfang got into the elevator, pressed the 18th floor button, and the elevator slowly rose.
"Ding"
18th floor, take the elevator down
