Firefly In Warmth Chapter 4

In a situation like today when there are no classes, if I walk up to the podium during break time, I may not be greeted by the whole class greeting me with "Hello, teacher". Instead, the most likely scene I will see is dozens of confused faces and blank stares, "Who is this? Could she be our new head teacher? Oh, she looks like this? I thought she was an old woman."

The mere thought of such a situation makes one feel embarrassed.

Let’s wait until the class officially starts, Olivia Guan made the decision.

The bell for the last class rang on time at five o'clock in the afternoon. Soon, it became noisy outside the office. Students carrying backpacks came out of the classroom in groups of three or five and quickly occupied the corridor.

Olivia Guan had planned to go home after all the students had left, but the moment she picked up her bag, an idea suddenly popped into her mind: why not go to the laboratory and take a look.

After receiving the employment notice, the teacher in charge of personnel affairs also introduced her to the current teaching progress and work arrangements. In a few weeks, the science exam will be held. In addition to the written test, the exam also includes experiments. Although each course only tests one experimental content, since it is decided by lottery, all the experimental courses learned in the second year of high school must be prepared again. The results of the student's exam will directly determine whether the student can take the college entrance examination. It is related to the reputation of the school, and the school will not be lax in this matter.

Because there is an aerial corridor, Olivia Guan first goes up the stairs to the fourth floor of the high school building, and then walks through the corridor to the laboratory building.

The biological laboratory is located on the fifth floor of the laboratory building. There are two south-facing laboratories side by side on the right wing. On the left wing of the building, there are two slightly larger rooms, one for storing experimental items and the other for storing experimental equipment, mainly precision instruments such as microscopes and electronic balances. At the end of the corridor is the bathroom. In the middle of the two wings, there is a fairly spacious room used as a lounge.

Olivia Guan opened the door of a laboratory, and the cool air in the spacious classroom immediately made her feel much fresher. There were no curtains on the windows of the laboratory, and a ray of sunset shone in and fell on a row of laboratory tables by the window. Olivia Guan walked slowly along the rows of laboratory tables, running her fingers across the old rubber table tops one by one. When she was in college, Olivia Guan often stayed in the laboratory for a long time, mainly recording data and observing the progress of experiments. Sometimes she was so busy that she didn't even have time to eat. But now when I think back, it still feels like a good time that makes people miss it.

I don't know when the noisy sounds outside the window disappeared, and the whole campus became extremely quiet. Olivia Guan pulled out a stool from under a laboratory table and sat down. There were four rows of laboratory tables neatly arranged in the laboratory, and there were two square stools under each set of laboratory tables. This was the standard equipment for high school experiments, Olivia Guan thought.

For students, the experimental classes in high school mean that they can escape the rigid classroom teaching and are always expected by students. When Olivia Guan was in high school, she always thought that she could create some novel experimental phenomena in the laboratory, but when she went to college, she realized that the high school level experiments only played a supporting role in teaching at best. The experiments for the real purpose of exploration can only be carried out in university laboratories. High school does not have the conditions to do experiments to observe dozens of culture dishes of bacteria.

After sitting for a while, she stood up. It was time to leave school.

After locking the door of the laboratory, Olivia Guan went around from the right wing to the left wing. The medicine room and equipment storage room here were locked, but through a narrow glass on the door, one could see the layout of the room. There were only some shelves and glass bottles, which were no different from the general storage room. The area of   the laboratory building was slightly smaller than that of the teaching building. There was another room in the middle connecting the left and right wings, but the door was frosted glass, so one could not see what was inside the room. Olivia Guan took a final tour of the floor and went down the stairs.

Coming out of the hall of the laboratory building, her body immediately felt the warmth of the evening air. Olivia Guan glanced at the playground on the left. The empty football field was now empty. She moved her feet and walked quickly towards the school gate on the right. At this moment, a muffled sound came from behind her.

Olivia Guan stopped and quickly analyzed the sound in his mind, as if replaying the past: the sound was very heavy, and seemed to come from behind the laboratory building.

After hesitating for a while, she finally turned around and walked back, determined to see what was going on.

However, when she walked around the gray wall, the scene before her surprised her.

A boy in school uniform was lying motionless on the concrete floor, bleeding from his head and mouth. A pool of blood beneath him had dyed several textbooks scattered around him red.

Olivia Guan took a deep breath and tried to calm down. She subconsciously looked up at the roof of the laboratory building, walked over carefully, and asked tentatively, "Are you okay?" Seeing that the other party had no response, Olivia Guan took out her mobile phone from her bag, quickly dialed the number of the emergency center, and ran to the communication room at the school gate while waiting for the call to be answered.

When Ethan Wei returned home, he took a special look at the clock on the wall. It was already 8:40 in the evening.

This is a small one-bedroom apartment located in a residential area in the west of the city. It is a bit far from the workplace, but the rent is not expensive, suitable for one person to live in. Last fall, Ethan Wei moved in immediately after seeing the house and paid the landlord a year's rent in one lump sum. Maybe because of his age, he is less and less willing to share a house with others. The reason why he lived in the previous place was because his roommates often brought friends home, which annoyed him.

Ethan Wei didn't turn on the light, but went straight into the bedroom, changed into a loose T-shirt and sweatpants, and then went to the kitchen and took out a can of beer from the top shelf of the refrigerator. He pulled the ring open, and the aluminum can immediately made a "hiss" sound.

He was so thirsty that he took a big gulp. The fine and rich foam burst in his mouth before he could swallow it. Only then did he feel better than before.

Back in the living room, he sat heavily on the so
