MTL - Don’t Covet the Beautiful System!!-Chapter 69

Under the shadow of braised fish, the last exam of the last semester of the third year of senior high school ended smoothly.

Although they still had to wait for the grades and test papers, the students who finally breathed a sigh of relief felt that the holiday was just around the corner, and discussed how to spend this short and precious winter vacation.

"I'm definitely going to be locked up at home to study. Alas, I guess I can only take a break during the two days of New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year. My parents must be urging me to read books at other times."

"My mother said that as long as I can get into the top 1000 in the entrance examination, she will take me out for a trip, and the whole family will go out to celebrate the New Year! It is also very important to combine work and rest. I hope the marking teacher will be merciful and give me more points."

"That's great, I want to go out and play too."

The students were chatting with each other, and someone noticed that Pei Qingyuan seemed to be distracted in his seat, and asked curiously: "Where is the monitor? Will you go out to play during the winter vacation? Or stay at home?"

Immediately someone echoed enviously: "I will definitely go out to play, the monitor's grades are completely stress-free, and no matter what, Jiangyuan University will guarantee the bottom line."

The results of the recommended student examination were announced a few days ago. Pei Qingyuan was on the list. It can be said that he is already a prospective college student. He is the first student in No. The score of the recommended test is also the first.

Under normal circumstances, No. 2 Middle School would definitely hang up a banner and publish a newspaper to publicize the happy event, but the embarrassing thing is that Pei Qingyuan did not participate in the Olympiad when he was studying in No. 2 Middle School. No matter which school he transferred to, this The reputation of students being recommended is all for nothing.

In addition, Pei Qingyuan planned to take the college entrance examination as usual, and there was a possibility of giving up the recommendation quota. The school leaders considered his right to choose, so they did not make a big publicity.

Of course, the good news should be announced within the school, which is an incentive for students of every age group.

There used to be no such outstanding students in No. 2 Middle School. Everyone knew that it was an ordinary second-rate high school that was neither too good nor too bad. He has three heads and six arms. He is not a rare genius with a special personality. He listens to lectures in class like everyone else, chats with classmates normally, and goes to the basketball team to train after class. Is it possible that there will be another student like this?

If possible, will it be you and me?

When hope appears around you, the projected light can illuminate everyone unconsciously.

In this subtly changing campus atmosphere, the school leaders and teachers of No. 2 Middle School are enjoying the spring breeze every day. Their only worry is that they have to give Pei Qingyuan several scholarships.

After all, excellent grades, special contributions to the school, and outstanding qualities such as helping others... He has all these different reward items alone.

When the students came up to chat, Pei Qingyuan was listening to Ji Tong reading to him the hundred ways of fish in his mind with great interest.

Subconsciously, he wanted to say "study how to make fish at home", but fortunately he held back.

"I'm not sure how I'm going to live." Pei Qingyuan replied, "I probably won't go on a trip."

He wanted to take Ji Tong out to play around and see different scenery, but Ji Tong's body is too young now, and in order to create a mysterious rich father who can't be found no matter what, he didn't create a legal identity, no The ID card is inconvenient everywhere, and it is not suitable for traveling far away.

Pei Qingyuan planned to wait until the summer vacation after the college entrance examination before planning a trip. At that time, Ji Tong was already in the appearance of an adult, and then quietly generated a legal identity, and the two of them could appear in front of people like ordinary people, instead of wearing a piece of clothing alone. A mechanical watch with sound, or holding a cat that cannot speak.

But when it comes to the New Year, Pei Qingyuan's feelings about it are actually very complicated.

Once upon a time in Pei's house, in the early years, it was Pei Huaishan who called his two sons and other relatives, and the whole family went to the old house to celebrate the New Year together, which was quite a warm atmosphere.

Later, Pei Minghong's business grew bigger and bigger, and he no longer relied on Pei Huaishan's help, and his temperament became more and more unruly. Not only did the conflicts between father and son gradually breed, but he also had a lot of discord with his younger brother Pei Siyou.

Pei Siyou went abroad to engage in art when he was an adult, and he stayed there for more than ten years, occasionally coming back to visit his father. Half of Pei Huaishan went abroad to recuperate this year because his elder son was angry, and the younger son simply invited him over to relax.

After Pei Minghong was unwilling to go to the old house again, many years that Pei Qingyuan experienced were spent in seemingly gorgeous and lively banquets.

That obviously wasn't the real New Year's Eve.

"How do we celebrate the New Year?" He asked Ji Tong in his heart.

Ji Tong thought for a while: "The Chinese New Year must be lively. Although there are three people and a cat in the family now, it is still too monotonous. Do you feel that something is missing?"

He wanted to try to convince the host to invite Fu Yinyin to come to celebrate the New Year with him.

Pei Qingyuan was very cooperative: "What's missing?"

Ji Tongyu said earnestly: "It lacks a gentle and powerful feminine color."

Pei Qingyuan was silent for a while, then suddenly said hesitantly: "So... are you or Fang Hao going to become a girl?"

He still remembered that Ji Tong said that the system could switch the gender of voice and appearance at will.

Ji Tong: ...

He never imagined that there would be a day when he would be choked by the host's words.

"That's not what it means!" Ji Tong forced himself to stop imagining Fang Hao in women's clothing, "Xiao Hao and I have a system friend, and the usual form is a very attractive intellectual sister. If the host agrees, we would like to invite her to come and play. "

Pei Qingyuan could hear his admiration for that system sister from his tone: "Do you like her very much?"

"Well!" Ji Tong said without hesitation, "She is the most powerful system I have ever seen, she knows everything, and I have learned a lot from her."

Pei Qingyuan did not refuse: "Okay."

He will meet another friend of Ji Tong again.

Moreover, this friend sounds different from Fang Hao's naive personality, and should be much more mature, and his qualifications as a system seem to be deeper.

If possible, he would like to know more about the system from this powerful system.

Or, something related to Ji Tong.

Pei Qingyuan didn't know why he had this thought.

Perhaps a curiosity about a friend.

He answered himself thus.

Hearing that the host agreed, Ji Tong cheered, and immediately called up the chat interface to announce the good news to Fang Hao and Fu Yinyin.

Fu Yinyin's host is still running away from a scumbag recently, and there is no plot to go for the time being. Every day is a routine, and the system is basically not used, so Fu Yinyin can ask for leave for a few days to come and play.

After an excited discussion in the chat group, it was finally decided to let Fu Yinyin come over on the 29th day of the Lunar New Year, and leave with the host Fang Hao who was about to finish his retreat on the 4th day of the Lunar New Year.

In this regard, the mature and stable intellectual sister Fu Yinyin said: It’s been a long time since I felt like rushing home for the New Year’s holiday. It’s a pity that cross-world teleportation can’t carry items, otherwise she can bring some New Year’s goods bought in another world. It sounds like Just cool.

In addition to fishing competitions and collecting fish recipes, Ji Tong and Fang Hao also have another hobby: writing schedules on the wall calendar.

The calendar grids for the five days from the 29th to the 3rd day of the new year have been filled to the brim.

Pei Qingyuan looked at this calendar, and cautiously questioned the arrangement of going to the amusement park to ride the roller coaster three times in a row.

After the questioning failed, he could only hope that the third system he had never met would not like to ride a roller coaster.

Next to the roller coaster in the crookedly written amusement park, there is a line of "Let's go to the central square to watch the fireworks" written in delicate handwriting. Pei Qingyuan's gaze froze for a moment, and gradually softened.

This must have been written by Ji Tong, his handwriting and Fang Hao's handwriting are very distinguishable, one is upright and elegant, the other flamboyant.

As a real human being, he is not good at actively looking for things that make people feel happy, but Ji Tong can always do it very well.

For the first time, he was looking forward to the Spring Festival so much.

Before the official winter vacation, during the days of waiting for the entrance examination results, Pei Qingyuan and the basketball players from No. 2 Middle School contributed many wonderful games in the provincial men's high school basketball league.

On this larger stage, the performance of each player will be seen by more people. A high-level game will not only determine the outcome, but may also change the future of some people.

After a certain game, both Pei Qingyuan and Fu Chengze received invitations from scouts to participate in the trial training of regular team clubs.

Scouts usually only pay attention to whether there are excellent seedlings in the high school teams that are regarded as famous basketball schools. The level of No. 2 Middle School in previous years was not outstanding. Almost no one pays special attention to the teams of such schools, or even the attention of the city league. Not high, after all, there are too many cities, and the teams are mixed, and the truly capable teams will inevitably appear in the provincial and even national leagues.

So when it came to the provincial league, the Second Middle School basketball team, which performed exceptionally well, was immediately noticed. The core members of the whole team were obviously Pei Qingyuan and Fu Chengze.

Pei Qingyuan, who has already confirmed his future major, is not here and rejected the scout's invitation. Fu Chengze is different. He has always loved basketball and wanted to become a professional player.

The day after he agreed to the scouts after reaching a consensus with his parents, he excitedly called everyone out for a dinner.

"I will try my best to pass the trial training, and then try my best to play every game in the future." Fu Chengze held up a Coke and said passionately, "Maybe one day in the future, you will see my game on TV."

Fu Chengze toasted to everyone one by one. When it was Ji Tong's turn, he squatted down to clink glasses with him, and made a serious agreement: "If I really do it, remember to come to my game at that time!"

Ji Tong drank the Coke in the cup, and answered him solemnly: "I will try my best."

At that time, he should have been an adult, so he could only change his status to cheer for Fu Chengze.

Everyone was amused by his serious tone, which was extremely disproportionate to his appearance, and they all laughed. Coach Xu even kept rubbing his eyes while laughing.

"Great." Coach Xu blushed from drinking Coke, "I'm really happy."

He seems to be able to say only these two sentences today.

After the luncheon was over, Pei Qingyuan and Ji Tong were walking home. Ji Tong asked him, "Ruan Ruan, do you think Fu Chengze can become a professional player in the future?"

"I don't know." Pei Qingyuan said, "I hope so."

Without Ji Tong, he wouldn't be friends with Fu Chengze, wouldn't be on the basketball team, wouldn't have every game he participated in later, and there wouldn't be the small audience cheering for the big brothers every night.

Perhaps the No. 2 Middle School will stop at the municipal league as in previous years, and perhaps the potential hidden in the bodies of the teammates has not been fully stimulated.

Sometimes fate just goes the other way quietly.

But the beginning of everything is often very inconspicuous.

"What's for dinner tonight?"

Ji Tong planned to have a sumptuous dinner on the weekend.

"I won't eat fish today." Pei Qingyuan said, "How about eating lamb chops?"

"good!"

On a warm winter day, he led Ji Tong on a familiar street, and unexpectedly found that there were a lot of pedestrians on this road, many of them were holding drink cups in their hands, and taking pictures with their mobile phones in the other hand.

It was usually ninety o'clock when Pei Qingyuan came back from school, and the shops on both sides of the road were closed, and there was no traffic flow.

Ji Tong looked curiously at the cups held in the hands of passers-by: "They're all the same brand, they look delicious."

He quickly activated the search function: "It is a long-established sugar shop that has become famous in recent years. The products in the store are very special, sweet, salty, sour, bitter... There are all kinds of flavors."

"This store has become a chain store after receiving external capital injection, but there are not many stores, and each store is opening very slowly. Recently, the first branch store was opened in our province." Ji Tong was stunned, "It's right in front."

He and Pei Qingyuan walked to the most crowded place and stopped. On the left was the quaint sugar shop, and on the right was the Xingyue Bakery, which they were all too familiar with.

There was a long queue at the entrance of the sugar shop, and there was no more room at the entrance of the bakery. Bread and drinks are a natural match.

Through the glass window, they saw He Shiwen busy in and out of the store, sweating profusely.

After finally stopping to catch his breath, he caught a glimpse of two figures, one large and one small, outside the shop from the corner of his eye, and he got up and walked out quickly.

"Little Pei, Tongtong!" He greeted, "Come out to play on weekends?"

Ji Tong's expression looked a little blank, Pei Qingyuan reacted first, and said in response: "Uncle He."

"Hey! Come in and sit?" He looked back and scratched his head annoyedly, "But there are too many people, it may be crowded."

"Is business busy recently?" Pei Qingyuan asked him.

"Yeah, ever since I opened this shop next door, every day..." He laughed, "It's just like when I was back at the croissant. I didn't expect that I would be so lucky. The cake turned around."

Speaking of this, He Shiwen walked a few steps closer and said in a low voice: "And their shop even approached me, saying that our shop tastes very good, and they want to cooperate with us to develop pastries. I am hesitating these days. They seem to be all The kind of person who is very down-to-earth, not purely for making quick money, I am not worried about being cheated, just curious, why something good happened to me..."

He Shiwen babbled for a while, and finally said: "By the way, Chinese New Year is coming soon. I don't have anything else to do. I'll get you a few boxes of snacks. They're in gift boxes. They're very beautiful. You can give them away. Wait for me here." .”

Seeing He Shiwen hurried into the shop to pack gifts again, Ji Tong on the side finally came to his senses and tugged at the corner of the host's clothes: "Is it grandpa?"

"I guess so," he said.

Gazing at the bustling crowd with the host, Ji Tong couldn't help laughing: "Uncle He is a good person, and so is Grandpa."

"Yeah." Pei Qingyuan remembered his curious eyes just now, looked at the signboard of the sugar shop next door, and asked softly, "What flavor do you want to drink?"

Ji Tong said decisively: "Of course I want them all!"
