If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon

Chapter 576 The Gate of Cassel

Su Xiaoqiang typed "Are you there" on the screen, and cut out the chat interface in frustration after waiting for a few minutes without any response from the other party. It's a string of dates, 5, and then Su Xiaoqiang chatted in a purely unnutritious harassing nature (have you eaten, slept, what are you doing, etc. type of questioning chat), and the opposite party did not make any response. After the message was sent, the profile picture was grayed out for nearly a week, and I don't know if it was a unilateral invisibility or really went offline.

Cut out the chat interface, revealing the group photo in the coffee shop on the big screen, the girl stretched out her hand and gently picked out the corner of the boy's mouth to smile, outside the window was the rainy garden, the warm yellow light reflected on the window two The backs of the individuals leaning together, every inch of light and shadow, every pixel looks so beautiful, making people wish to freeze at that moment forever.

Su Xiaoqiang tilted her head and looked at her screen saver in a daze. After a long while, she turned her gaze to the time in the lower right corner.It is now eight o'clock in the morning on May 5th. Outside the drawn floral curtains, there is a slit of sunlight that can't be covered, and it shines on the wooden floor close to the wall like a flowing golden snake. Imagine how nice the weather is today.

She pushed away the pink mechanical keyboard on the table, stretched her body, walked to the window, grabbed the curtain, and pulled it off lightly, the brilliant golden waterfall rushed into the whole room, illuminating every corner fine dust.

She raised her hand to cover up the strong summer breath, squinted to look at the dripping blue sky outside the rows of trees, and the faint buzzing sound of the plane passing far above the city.

"Xiao Qiang, breakfast is ready. Today is rice cakes and soy milk. Auntie heard you said yesterday that you wanted something sweet and made you a small steamed bun made of white flour. You can dip it in condensed milk. If you sleep well, come out directly Let's have breakfast in the restaurant. When Auntie came, she saw your things at the door and said she needed to sign for them in person. Auntie was afraid that something expensive might be broken and didn't let you touch it. If you have time, go to the doorman's place to pick it up, Auntie. Let’s go and cover your meal to keep warm before leaving!” The voice of the nanny came from downstairs outside the door, the voice continued the passivity that middle-aged women regretted automatically when they reached their age, and it was extremely penetrating no matter where it was hidden. Every room in the villa can hear it, but without this auntie, she can't run four or five families a day to support her daughter who is going to college.

Su Xiaoqiang changed out of her pajamas, opened the closet and picked out a relatively plain white short T-shirt, and put on a pair of denim suspenders. She gestured in the mirror and felt that she had a lot of neighbors... Looking back, it was still the same. There was no moving screen or mobile phone, sighed and slipped out of the room while wearing slippers and stepping on his feet.

Outside the window, the wind blows the leaves of the cypress and poplar trees, and the white quilt on the balcony is gently swaying with the sun in front and back.Su Xiaoqiang stepped on the stairs and yawned with her arms outstretched, rubbing her eyes as if she hadn't woken up.

The dining table was covered with a metal lid. After opening the first one, it was not morning but a note with a message from Papa Su, saying that he would go to Europe for business in the next few days and would not come back. What’s the matter? Call him or tell his driver about the matter.He also asked her about studying abroad this time. He will help her when she goes abroad, so don’t worry, she can take the normal class and take the college entrance examination well. If she still wants to go abroad, her father will still fully support her...

Su Xiaoqiang finished reading every line, folded the note and put it under the dinner plate, sat in the empty restaurant and ate breakfast quietly, took out the phone and put it on the table, one message after another popped up, tap After opening it, it jumped directly into the class group, but it was a photo in front of the eyes.

The photo was sent by Zhao Menghua, and the shooting location was in the hospital. The girl on the hospital bed was wearing a white striped hospital gown, with her left hand gently resting on the book "If You Give Me Three Days of Light" laid flat on the quilt. Scissorhands showed a sleepy smile towards the camera.

The news that Chen Wenwen was found and admitted to the hospital has already spread in the class. On the first day of open visitation, the ward was overwhelmed by the members of the literature club. A literature club that lost its president is like a Christian losing a church. The pilgrims have lost Jerusalem, and now that Chen Wenwen is back, the entire literary club has finally been revitalized. They are so happy that they can almost perform a live recitation of "Praise the Resurrection of Jesus" in the hospital ward.

Su Xiaoqiang also went to see Chen Wenwen that day, and chatted with her for a while, asking her what she still remembered, but the answers she got were somewhat specious, and she didn't ask any further questions, just said that she was back.

Regarding the disappearance of Chen Wenwen, the news announced by the police is very surprising, but it has a sense of reality. The next day after Chen Wenwen came back, the TV news announced that a secret pyramid scheme that had been running around the country had finally been captured. This secret organization is different from the MLM method of the Southern and Northern factions. It chooses mobile pyramid schemes to commit crimes. There are countless victims involved in the case, and Chen Wenwen happens to be one of the victims.

According to the police description, Chen Wenwen was imprisoned in the MLM den when she was discovered, reciting the MLM speech manual silently. Probably the MLM staff took a fancy to the girl's excellent manuscript reading skills and wanted to train her to become the next little MLM leader. I tried my best to brainwash this girl.It took a lot of effort to correct those incorrect concepts after the police's vigorous correction, but the price is that now the girl seems a little dazed from time to time, and her memory is not correct.

The doctor reassured her that she would recover after a period of time. Even if she forgot about the previous experience, it would be a good thing. Her parents and classmates who cared about her felt relieved. It is estimated that she will be discharged from the hospital today or tomorrow. Re-investing in reviewing and studying, there is still one month left for her to recover from this matter and work hard for the college entrance examination.

Everything seemed to be back on track, nothing earth-shattering. In the eyes of outsiders, it was just a girl who disappeared for a while and was found. Zhao Menghua, who was very grateful, rushed to send a banner to the police station saying that he wanted to donate and support For the work of the police uncles, the chief thanked us and said that we deserve this pennant. Let’s talk about donations...

In the whole incident, there was nothing about Su Xiaoqiang, nor about Lu Mingfei, nor about the boy who really solved the problem. The Pearl Tower reopened after being closed for several days. Su Xiaoqiang watched the live broadcast of the local news, The interior and exterior are brand new, but the gate of the safe corridor is locked, and it may take a longer time to open the inside. I don’t know if the stumps and arms on the walls and corridors have been cleaned, but if they are picked up by a tourist in the future...

Glancing at the phone, the phrase "Are you there?" hasn't been answered yet, and it looks a little deserted and sad. This made her unable to help but confirm today's date again, and she could only comfort herself because it was too early. Maybe he will return to himself by noon?

After poking the phone, the class group next door started chatting about what gift Chen Wenwen would give when she was discharged from the hospital. Someone was in charge of the banner, someone was buying hydrogen balloons, and a large bundle of literature books was also being delivered. Probably because he wanted to surprise the girl in class...Su Xiaoqiang didn't have much interest.

Since that day when she had a real "confessional game" with the boy, she found that the few roads she had originally planned in the future suddenly widened, and after the fog cleared, a hanging wall was hung on the abyss. Bridge, avoiding the hanging bridge, she can still walk the former Sunshine Avenue.

In China, her father has helped her establish a good relationship. The principal of a certain major university in Shanghai has an old schoolmate relationship with her father. Recently, when doing business with overseas, it is inevitable to go there more often. I just met a few old classmates and had a drink. After a few drinks, the other party boasted that as long as your daughter takes the college entrance examination, I will get you in no matter what...

For Su Xiaoqiang's studies, my father is very worried. Not only domestic universities, but also foreign universities have basically figured it out. At home, he specially prepared a bank card with a "sponsorship" label on it. The numbers are enough to make the president of every American university smile approvingly.

After all, the Su family has no other children except Su Xiaoqiang, the eldest daughter, and the father is not planning to have a second child, so after four years of studying, she will probably inherit the father's family business. At that time, the Su family didn't know that it would grow No matter how strong she is, it shouldn't be a problem for her to be a happy rich woman for the rest of her life.

But will she really be satisfied with this...?
Walking on the sunny avenue without haze in the future, can she resist looking back at the boy who is walking alone on the suspension bridge?Now the boy reached out to her for the first time and offered her a choice.

After 18 years of happy life, Su Xiaoqiang met the boy named Lin Nian, standing in front of that huge gate, behind which was an uncertain future and danger.

Are you afraid? She was afraid that night. She was so afraid that she couldn’t walk. She was completely supported by a stubbornness. She wasn’t sure how far she could go, but at least she found herself in the end. Wanted, got all the answers.

Today, 18 years later, this hidden door was finally opened to Su Xiaoqiang, and standing behind the door was a boy holding a sword as bright as a seraphim.

The other party extended his hand to her. If she refused, then she would have no chance with anything behind the door. There was only one chance. The boy didn't contact her for so long probably because he wanted her to prepare herself mentally.

Su Xiaoqiang and Lin Nian had chosen coins countless times, and every time they guessed, they were pacing and knocking on the door tentatively. But this time, the other party finally put the coin in front of her from his hand, and she wanted to All it took was the courage to push open that door and pick that coin.

The topic of the class group has gradually turned to watching movies over time. Su Xiaoqiang glanced at it, swallowed the last mouthful of breakfast, turned off the screen, took a sip of water and rinsed her mouth. Put on a pair of white sneakers and head out.

The sun was very strong along the way, and she once regretted not wearing sunscreen to go out, but the distance from here to the gate of the community is not far, and she trotted through the shade of the trees for a while, swinging a black hair bundled up and down on her back.

She approached the shadow in front of the guard's room, the uncle of the guard took a look at Su Xiaoqiang and immediately greeted him warmly. This was probably due to the Gustae that Su Xiaoqiang's father recently replaced. Looking in the mirror, every time the doorman came in and out of the community, he was so serious that he almost thought he was going to raise his hand to salute.The whole community knows that the Su family has developed further, and Miss Su lives in that villa, and she has become a fried chicken that almost shines in the eyes of the red women.

"Is there anything for me?" Su Xiaoqiang asked after a few polite greetings.

"Yes, yes, there is a letter that requires you to sign for it yourself."

A letter was stuffed out of the doorman's window, and Su Xiaoqiang took it after a pause. The pure white had a faint sweet fragrance, and there was a pattern of violets on the ink pad of the envelope, "Excuse me? Did the postman say that?"

"It was a foreign girl who delivered the letter. She has platinum-blonde hair and is quite strange. She doesn't look like a postman and drives a nice car. She can also speak Chinese pretty well. She specifically said that you need to pick up and open this letter yourself. It can’t be collected by others, and I didn’t give it to your aunt when she came over just now.” The guard said.

"A foreign girl?" Su Xiaoqiang raised her eyebrows, feeling that something was strange, but after thinking about it, she didn't have any clue. She took a pen to sign and signed for receipt, and then flipped the envelope in her hand, "Did she say anything else?"

"I didn't say anything, but I took a few glances into the community when I delivered the letter." The guard said, "If I didn't see that she didn't look like a thief, I would have detained her."

"Are you dressed nicely? What brand is it?" Su Xiaoqiang, who is a master of shopping, has an occupational disease, so he asked casually, but the uncle who has been a doorman for more than ten years doesn't know much English, and let people recognize the brand. It's too hard.

"I don't know what brand she is wearing. There is no writing on the clothes, but the letter was taken out of her handbag. I remember that the bag was shining in the sun. There was a string of foreign characters on it. It seemed to be... pandas? Yes, it should be It means panda! Although I have no culture, sir, I still know the foreign language of our national treasure." What Su Xiaoqiang didn't expect was that the guard clasped his hands and thought hard for a while, and he actually said something.

Su Xiaoqiang was stunned for a few seconds, the panda's English flashed through his head, and then he slowly understood what English should be on the girl's bag. It is understandable that the uncle recognized him as a panda, after all, the beginning and the end are as well as They are all about the same length.

"What kind of car did she drive here?" Su Xiaoqiang asked casually, guessing that the other party's car should be good, after all, ordinary cars parked at the gate of this community have to be checked by the guard, and they can be stuffed into the guard's room It won't be any worse if things are trusted by word of mouth.

"I don't recognize that car, but I remember that there is one in my family calendar. It looks beautiful, but it should often rub against the chassis. It's not as practical as your father's."

Oh, sports cars.

Su Xiaoqiang nodded without much surprise, waved his hand to the doorman as a way of saying hello and thanked him, then turned and walked back.

A foreign girl with a bag in her hand and a car in her car specially came to the gate of the community to call her by name and sent her a letter?It's strange, but it's not to the point where she can be extreme. Maybe it's someone at home and work who temporarily let her accept the letter knowing that his father is not there?Otherwise, it would be too weird to send a letter without a sender's address or a recipient's address like this, and to ask her to accept it by name.

If it is changed to a martial arts scene, the letter is opened and there is a challenge letter inside, asking her to fight to the death in a certain place on a certain day in a certain year, the content is to compete against the knowledge of famous brands and fashion... Shaking her mentally polluted head by a boy surnamed Lu, she opened the envelope in her hand and took out the snow-white A4 letter paper inside. The sun shone on the paper and dazzled her eyes. The girl lowered her head and squinted her eyes and walked two steps forward. Then suddenly stopped.

She was in the sunny path in the middle of the shade of the trees on both sides, and a plane whizzed past her head, and the booming sound was far away in the empty blue sky, leaving a white cloud of smoke in the blue sky wrapped in the shade of the trees that lasted for a long time , Under the sun, the black and white letters on the paper glow with a faint golden light, which makes people a little dazzled.

"Dear Miss Su Xiaoqiang:

Under the sun, Su Xiaoqiang grabbed the letter paper and basked in the sun for a long time, then suddenly grabbed the letter paper and ran towards the end of the path, the black hair bundled up behind her back almost flew towards the distant sunlight .

"Wait, what are you talking about, Cassel Academy?"

It was probably early in the morning when Su’s father received the call. He was lying in a hotel in Europe and was suddenly awakened by his daughter’s phone call. Some fell under the bed.

"Didn't I ask around this college for you before, and they said that this college is no longer recruiting?" Su's father lit the bedside lamp and rubbed his head a little confused, "Xiao Qiang. Didn't we say that if we want to go abroad? Should I give priority to the University of Chicago? I have established relationships there."

"Eh, speak slowly. Okay, okay, I didn't tell you not to go, haven't you received the admission letter yet? Of course you can go! As long as you're happy!"

"Well, it's not an admission letter? It's an interview notice? Why is there such a big queue at Cassel College, and my daughter still needs to be interviewed? Do you have the phone number of their principal? I'll call him and have a chat, the one from the University of Chicago The principal is very polite to me, let alone Kassel College."

"All right, all right, I'm not messing around. If you really want an interview, go for it. I won't stop you. Who in the family would dare to stop you, my little ancestor." Dad Su said with a bitter face, "But don't put too much pressure on me. , I’m not saying that I don’t want my daughter to be well. Just in case, it’s just in case. If you fail the interview, don’t lose your temper. I’ve already talked with the University of Chicago. You can nod tomorrow’s admission letter I just sent it to my home anyway, I know about it, your mother and I are here to support you, if you want to go, go, of course it’s good to live, but it’s okay!"

Under the bedside lamp, the couple sat in front of the pillows, and they didn't hang up the phone until the girl on the other end of the phone babbled and said good night.

"I don't know what's so good about Kassel College that can make this girl so obsessed." Father Su put down the phone, rubbed his eyes, sighed and lay down again.

"Hey, old Su, I heard that if a daughter insists on going to a certain college and doesn't say why, it's probably because of boys." Su's mother, who was leaning on the pillow, suddenly poked her husband's shoulder.

"How is it possible, who can make my family Xiaoqiang miss you so much?" Father Su snorted and found a comfortable position to sleep again, "Have you forgotten? The son of the boss of the Black Prince Group, what kind of big boss is that?" Shao Yifeng, who is a young man, can't speak a few words in front of my daughter. If you want me to say ah, the son-in-law who can take up my burden in the future must be a three-headed and six-armed Nezha, the kind of dragon among men who can spit fire and step on wheels. possible!"

"Just think about it. I like whatever boys Xiaoqiang likes. It doesn't matter if I don't have money. Our family has money. The main thing is to be pleasing to the eye and cultivate good morals. The most important thing is to treat Xiaoqiang well." Su's mother smiled and patted the person next to the pillow to turn on the lamp, "And you really think your daughter has a good vision? She is as good as me and won't let go of what she sees."

"You chased me back then, but you almost skinned me. You almost took medicine." Su's father looked at his wife next to him with emotion and fear on his face, "But what do you mean that Xiaoqiang looks like you?" statement?"

"Didn't you say that a boy in Shilan High School who was in the same class as Xiao Qiang went abroad to study? Did you forget the one that was very popular in the parent group?"

"Which one? Parents group. Aren't you in charge of the parents group?" Father Su was stunned for a moment.

"Didn't I tell you before? Now that work is improving, I should pay more attention to my daughter's affairs!" Su's mother complained.

"No, dear, didn't you just say that some boy from the student group went abroad to study? Why did you mention this all of a sudden." Su's father suddenly sat up in the dark and had a strange expression on his face.

"That boy went abroad to study at Kassel College. Xiao Qiang seemed to be going to that college in a daze at that time." Mama Su said with a smile.

"." After hearing this, Dad Su suddenly fell silent. He sat up slightly in the dark without making a sound, and after a while, he slowly lay down again, leaning against the pillow with a dazed expression.

It wasn't until Su's mother on the side seemed to fall into sleep again after a long time, and Su's father was still staring at the ceiling in disbelief, staring at the ceiling, and finally cursed, "Damn, that's how it is, yes Which brat dares to attack my family—"

"Our cabbage started first." Su's mother said quietly in the dark, and immediately choked Su's father to death.
