Chapter 59: 59. Suspicion (Extra for the shy actor in Silver League)

Wang Yun, top student at Haicheng High School.

Without any surprises, she should have been across the ocean participating in the world-renowned AAPT PhysicsBowl physics competition on March 30 next year.

Then, she would have smoothly been recommended for admission to nationally renowned colleges or perhaps studied abroad at Ivy League schools.

If it weren’t for wanting to be closer to Liu Dezhu, she should have transferred schools to become a science student.

However, Wang Yun was now trying to get closer to Nan Gengchen and Qing Chen by choosing a simple geometric sequence problem, but they saw her as the one who was the worst at studying.

Her pride couldn’t overcome this hurdle!

Just as Wang Yun wanted to argue with Nan Gengchen, Bai Waner timely grabbed her and whispered, “A small impatience spoils a great plan. Have you forgotten what Xiao Niu said? Hold back!”

“Hold back,” Wang Yun took a deep breath and sat back down in her seat.

At that moment, Nan Gengchen was whispering next to Qing Chen, “Do you think she asked me to explain the problem to her because she likes me?”

Qing Chen had no intention of taking up that conversation but suddenly asked, “Did you get into the hacker industry in the Inner World, otherwise why are you always looking at programming?”

“No,” Nan Gengchen said guilty, “It’s just a hobby, learning for fun.”

At that moment, Qing Chen suddenly realized that he probably should also learn something.

Although the technology of the Inner World was far advanced compared to the Outer World, this didn’t mean that knowledge had no effect on the Outer World.

For example, chess was his stepping stone in Prison 18.

Wait, Qing Chen suddenly knew what he needed to learn—Japanese.

He had gained a mysterious family background in the Inner World and he could only understand others through translation.

For the past decade, Qing Chen had always maintained a thirst for knowledge to change his destiny and sever all ties with his past.

This habit, even the coming of the Inner World wouldn’t change.

First, he opened his mobile phone and searched for basic Japanese learning materials and impulsively bought four books on Taobao.

At this moment, Qing Chen felt impelled, and searched the web for “Jindai Kongyin.”

He was stunned.

This Jindai Kongyin, who had an engagement with him in the Inner World, was indeed a Time Traveler in the Outer World!

This was so surprising, he had never thought such a thing could happen before.

She might think he was a native of the Inner World, so she spoke Japanese without much concern.

But the problem was, his identity in the Inner World was becoming increasingly confusing.

Moreover, why was this girl named Jindai Kongyin so fluent in Chinese? Was it because she grew up in China, or was there a Chinese person in her family?

He scrolled further down. Sure enough, she was of Chinese and Island Country descent. Her father was Chinese and her mother was from the Island Country.

When Wang Yun saw his phone from the corner of her eye, she curiously said, “So you like this Island Country girl, watching her for so long.”

Qing Chen looked up at her, “No.”

Wang Yun thought he was just being stubborn and didn’t continue the conversation.

However, inside, Qing Chen was stirred up. He had searched for Jindai Kongyin just trying it out, but he hadn’t expected to actually find her.

The girl from the Jindai family who silently sat with him in the interrogation room.

In the photo, the girl was running through a sunflower field under the sunlight, her long hair fluttering as she looked back, smiling radiantly.

Such a smile was charming, innocent, naive, as pure as a mountain stream.

The information showed.

The girl’s father was of Chinese heritage, and her mother was from the Island Country.

No wonder she spoke both languages.

Last year, she won the Best Supporting Actress at the Island Country Film Academy Awards for “Hibiscus” and this year, she starred as the female lead in Director Iwai’s film “Aoi”.

Although she acts in niche art films that are not well known abroad, domestically, some have rated her as “potentially becoming one of the three pillars of the future movie industry”.

Qing Chen often browsed Weibo and news to stay updated on societal trends, but he hadn’t paid much attention to the entertainment industry of the Island Country, and indeed the person wasn’t very famous yet.

So he had never seen her before.

Now, after checking his search results, Qing Chen was bewildered—he couldn’t understand how he had gotten involved with such a person.

At this moment, Wang Yun kept sneaking glances at him and thought disdainfully, “If you say you don’t like her, why do you keep staring at her for so long then?”

However, it would probably be difficult for a boy from a small city like Los Angeles City to interact much with a girl from the Island Country.

Wang Yun had seen “Hibiscus” and “Aoi”, so she knew that Jindai Kongyin was quickly rising in the Island Country’s entertainment industry; it was quite normal for her to soon become the representative Goddess of Forest.

Such a girl was far too distant for a boy from a small city.

At this time, Qing Chen was thinking that, according to the information he had now, the Jindai family wasn’t separated from other clans by the sea.

After all, Uncle Li Dong had said that the entire ocean had become Taboo Land, and if the Jindai family was on an island, they couldn’t possibly cross the sea to the mainland.

So, would the Island Country’s Time Travelers, travel to a mainland with domestic Time Travelers?

Up to now, Qing Chen had never seen a map of the Inner World; he could ask Lin Xiaoxiao for one during his next time travel.

The class had finished, and Wang Yun and Bai Waner went into the corridor to meet up with Hu Xiaoniu and Zhang Tianzhen.

Hu Xiaoniu asked, “Any new developments?”

Wang Yun shrugged, “Nan Gengchen and Qing Chen are both acting like fools. There’s no need to talk about Nan Gengchen, but Qing Chen spent the whole class staring at a female celebrity from the Island Country.”

Bai Waner wondered, “Didn’t the teacher say Qing Chen is a good student? He doesn’t look like one at all, obsessing over celebrities like this…”

“Who knows,” Wang Yun sighed, “A lot of good students start to lose focus when their hormones kick in during their second year of high school. It’s not like we haven’t seen this before. Remember the two top students in our class who fell in love and both dropped off their pedestals?”

At this point, Hu Xiaoniu frowned, “What did we talk about yesterday? Please put aside your pride. If you keep regarding them both as fools in your mind, how are you going to make friends?”

Wang Yun was slightly annoyed too, “Then let’s switch classes. I’ll deal with Liu Dezhu, and you can be friends with Qing Chen.”

At that moment, the class monitor Yu Junyi suddenly ran upstairs from downstairs and told Qing Chen at the entrance of classroom High 2 Class 3, “Qing Chen, the foreign language teacher is calling you to come over.”

“Okay, I’m on my way,” Qing Chen replied.

At Los Angeles Foreign Language School, there were foreign teachers, but they only taught one class per week. The content wasn’t substantial; it was mostly just chatting with the students and playing the guitar.

This was essentially a “face-saving” act for Los Angeles Foreign Language School with no real educational value.

As Qing Chen went downstairs, Hu Xiaoniu suddenly asked Yu Junyi, “Hello, what does the foreign language teacher need Qing Chen for?”

The class monitor Yu Junyi chuckled, “How would I know? They are friends; Qing Chen used to often practice speaking with the foreign language teacher. Eventually, only Qing Chen could speak normally with the teacher, and they gradually became familiar. The teacher often brings him little gifts from abroad, like the chocolates he brought for Qing Chen—I’ve tried them.”

Hu Xiaoniu and the others were momentarily stunned; this alone was enough to prove that Qing Chen’s English speaking and listening skills were completely fine, nothing like what they had imagined!

Hu Xiaoniu took a deep breath. “I’m starting to suspect he is also a Time Traveler! Let me confirm with you again, did he overhear any of your conversations?”

Bai Waner thought for a moment and said, “First of all, we can confirm that he was indeed doing math problems and didn’t overhear anything.”

“That doesn’t rule out suspicion,” Hu Xiaoniu calmly said, “I need to find a way to make sure.”
