Chapter 109: Chapter 109 School Hunk and School Beauty_1The old lady’s class was indeed unique, her subject was the bronze ware of the Shang-Zhou period, and during the class, she also explained many types of bronze ware, some of which you had learned about, as well as some you had never heard of.

    The script of the Shang Dynasty was Oracle Bone Script, so she deliberately spent a whole class explaining it. While she was lecturing on stage, you were translating the Oracle Bone Script in the black stone with the knowledge you had just absorbed.

    Interestingly, there were a total of one hundred and twenty Oracle Bone Script characters in the black stone, but the ones listed by the old lady in the projector only covered ninety-nine percent of them. There were still about a dozen characters unexplained. And these dozen characters were precisely in the last sentence, playing a crucial role!

    Because of this, you also searched online with your cellphone, but to no avail. Just like what the old lady had explained, the internet also listed over four thousand individual characters, and you checked them one by one but could not find explanations for these dozen Oracle Bone Script characters.

    Thinking that these dozen characters might be obscure, you immediately raised your hand.

    As soon as she saw you raising your hand, the old lady couldn’t help but ask with a smile, "Does this student have a question?"

    "Teacher, some time ago, I saw an article in Oracle Bone Script inside a bronze vessel, but I couldn’t find the translation for five of the characters, could you help me translate them?"

    "Certainly, could this student please come up and write them on the blackboard?"

    "Okay."

    Although you often didn’t like sticking your neck out and feared being troublesome, your interest was greatly piqued by the sentence at the end of the content engraved on the black stone, which you had deciphered on your own.

    So, under everyone’s gaze, you picked up a piece of chalk and wrote a string of Oracle Bone Script characters on the blackboard.

    However, after seeing the broken characters, the old lady also fell into contemplation. Her hands naturally crossed in front of her waist, her eyebrows slightly furrowed as she looked carefully at the fifteen characters on the blackboard.

    A moment later, the old lady shook her head at you and said, "I regret to inform you, student, that I’m temporarily unable to translate these fifteen characters."

    As she spoke these words, the always meticulous old lady took up a pen and noted the fifteen characters in her notebook.

    She then said to you, "If I manage to decipher them, I will inform you of the answer as soon as possible."

    "Thank you, Teacher."

    You turned back to your seat, and as you did so, some people nearby naturally started to gossip.

    "Hey, did you just scribble something random up there?"

    "Exactly, the professor’s an Oracle Bone Script expert, and even she doesn’t know. It must be fake."

    "It was just to embarrass the teacher, huh? There really are all sorts of people nowadays."

    "Damn it! Who’s squawking? Come out and practice a bit!"

    Yang Kai immediately slapped the desk, and Liao Yong by his side stood up first. Once he stood, it was like a wall rising up from the ground for those behind him, blocking all of their sight. After that, no one dared to make another peep.

    Seeing you had sat down, Wei Shuxian turned to look at you and whispered, "Old Shu, do these fifteen characters have any special meaning?"

    You shook your head: "I’m not sure, I just really want to figure it out."

    Seeing that you were not willing to elaborate, Wei Shuxian did not keep asking.

    As soon as the bell for class rang, the old lady left slowly. Yang Kai continued to make a fuss, hitting the desk and shouting, "Those who were talking trash, have the guts to stay behind!"

    Most humanities students have a relatively fragile physique, regardless of gender. There really aren’t many as robust as Liao Yong or as boisterous as Yang Kai.

    "Let’s go, stop pretending. If a few people really did come at you, you’d be the first one to get knocked down."

    Wei Shuxian grabbed Yang Kai by the shoulder, and the four of you left the classroom together.

    There’s a period called college life, and within it, perhaps the most lauded and nostalgic aspect is the brotherhood that wanders through these times together.

    The four of you entered the cafeteria joking and laughing, and as you were eating and boasting, Zong Wangyue and Jin Qi came over with their trays too.

    "Boss, we’ve got a deal on the table, should we take it?"

    Upon hearing this, Yang Kai quickly asked, "What kind of deal? Who’s the other party? How much are they paying?"

    This guy is such a money grubber!

    Zong Wangyue grinned and held up five fingers.

    "Five hundred thousand?"

    Yang Kai’s guess made everyone flip him off, and Zong Wangyue rolled his eyes, "Do you think people just print their money with printers? Five thousand!"

    "Five thousand?" Yang Kai snorted disdainfully. "That’s too little. We’re not taking it."

    "Who’s the other party? Are there any specific details?" Wei Shuxian asked.

    Zong Wangyue hurriedly shoveled a few bites of rice into his mouth and swallowed: "The captain of the school basketball team, one of our campus celebrities, one of the top ten most handsome guys."

    "Oh? So it’s Zhou Xingjian, huh? Has he racked up too many romance debts and gotten entangled by a female ghost?" Yang Kai asked with diminishing interest as he continued to eat.

    Zong Wangyue’s expression grew richer as he seemed to get to the crux of the matter, "Hehe, you guys wouldn’t guess—there’s a pretty interesting story here..."

    However, you suddenly asked, "Is it related to the campus belle who jumped off a building last night?"

    "That’s right, Boss is boss for a reason!" Zong Wangyue immediately gave you a thumbs-up!

    "Oh?" At the mention of this subject, Yang Kai’s expression changed as drastically as the weather, "Zongzi, you mean to say that Zhou Xingjian and Liu Qing had an affair, and after a night of passion, they forgot to take precautions, then Liu Qing got pregnant, and Zhou Xingjian, not wanting to take responsibility, gave her a few hundred dollars to get an abortion?"

    Having finished off a can of Coca-Cola, Zong Wangyue smiled and said, "Little Kai got it right, that’s exactly it. Moreover, according to what I know, Zhou Xingjian denies it, not because he doesn’t want to take responsibility but because he believes the child isn’t his."

    "Wow—" Yang Kai’s mouth hung open as his eyes took a couple of spins, "With this twist, the story seems to have gained a lot of spicy details. My gossipy soul is instantly ignited—let’s take the job!"

    All five of you then turned your gaze towards you. sea??h thё n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    You continued to eat your stir-fried celery with lilies, making "crunch, crunch" sounds.

    "Pfft." You spat out the fibrous celery, "This cafeteria auntie really needs to do better, how can someone eat such tough celery?"

    As you talked, you leisurely started eating the braised pork.

    Seeing your expression, Wei Shuxian chuckled.

    Zong Wangyue and the others exchanged glances, apparently confused by your intent.

    "Hey, Glasses, what’s Old Shu’s angle?" Yang Kai nudged Wei Shuxian.

    Wei Shuxian also extended five fingers and announced to the group, "Fifty thousand."
