Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 706

Chapter 706: Chapter 581: A Storm Is Coming

Strolling along the path to the classroom, he looked at the ancient campus filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, lush trees, and well-arranged teaching buildings. Everywhere was full of vibrant energy yet appeared more elegant and serene, but he didn’t know how long this peaceful life could last.

Perhaps it was time for him to remind Song Lin that it might be time to leave. Not every persistence and effort yield results—leaving is also for a better future.

"These days they’ve been acting a bit odd, especially Song Lin, who has been silent with his books. We can’t console him, so we try to keep him in the middle during lectures."

Zhang Guoqing nodded slightly, "We’ll talk when we’re back."

When he got into the classroom, a few classmates were discussing with their books, among which Song Lin was prominently present. It was mealtime, and Zhang Guoqing knew at a glance that these bookworms must be discussing experimental doubts.

Their eyes lit up when they saw Zhang Guoqing and another person enter, ready to speak.

Shen Yunshi quickly raised his hand to stop them, "Are you guys turning into immortals? Go eat, it’s almost time for class."

"Why don’t we talk after eating?"

Shen Yunshi took a lunch box out of the drawer and tapped it, "Come on, if we’re late, there won’t be anything good left."

Song Lin and two classmates took out their lunch tickets and handed them over. Nobody refused because it was common for everyone to bring meals for each other, especially since recently everyone had been helping to bring Song Lin’s lunch.

Zhang Guoqing waved at them and ambled to sit with the remaining classmates.

"Old class rep, I wonder if the train tickets are booked. Can you check for us? I plan to leave early the day after tomorrow."

Zhang Guoqing chuckled, "Sure. I’ll look into it later. Are all of you going back to your hometowns?"

Everyone nodded.

Zhang Guoqing looked at Song Lin. This genteel young man rarely smiled in his memory, like a melancholic lad. Right now his expression was full of worries and sadness.

After some small talk, one of the classmates stood up, "You guys stay here. I’ll see if they swallowed my breakfast, why haven’t they come yet?"

Another classmate eagerly laughed and followed him out of the seat, "I’ll go with you. Looks like there must be a crowd today; let’s go help."

Zhang Guoqing watched them leave, then turned to observe Song Lin. He pondered how to broach the subject. What if the other misunderstood that he wanted him to drop out because he was dragging the class down? That would be problematic.

After a moment of hesitation, Zhang Guoqing seized the chance he might not get again; it would get inconvenient once others returned. He glanced at the hesitating Song Lin.

"Xiao Wu, am I dragging everyone down?"

Look! The kid really had such thoughts.

Zhang Guoqing smiled comfortingly, "It’s not about being a burden; we’re all classmates. Everyone’s happy to help when they can; it’s just sometimes things are beyond control."

After saying this, he frowned and glanced outside, not expecting someone to come so quickly. The approaching footsteps were getting closer, turning his attention back to the poor lad.

Zhang Guoqing lowered his voice, "Find a way to see your parents over the holiday."

Hearing this, Song Lin widened his eyes, clenching his lips tightly, watching Zhang Guoqing’s serious face silently.

Zhang Guoqing glanced at the silhouette of one or two classmates emerging from the door. He exchanged a meaningful look with Song Lin as their eyes met.

He immediately turned to the entering classmates and said, "The weather is so muggy, are there clouds this morning? I think a storm is coming soon."

"Haha... Beijing’s summer is like a child’s face; it changes on a whim."
