Wang Peng's daily life has returned to peace. The mysterious organization did not bother him, saved the world and did not come to him. Everything seemed to have returned to its usual dullness. Wang Peng went to and from school normally every day. If you want to say something changes, it is that Wang Peng now brings sketchbooks and pencils with him. He often takes them out to draw whenever he has something to do, and even joins the art club in the school.
In just two or three days, Wang Peng became famous in the school, and the nickname "Dream Crazy" became popular in the school.
Wang Peng has never mastered the ability to peek into the future, and it will not work every time. However, Wang Peng found that as long as he paints, he would always use superpowers when he accidentally draws. Therefore, whether at school or at home, Wang Peng would always take out his paintings to draw.
When the superpower works, the eyes will turn turbid white. Wang Peng bought a special exquisite beauty contact lens, which simply solved it. However, when using the superpower, he would lose consciousness and his body would draw automatically. Wang Peng had no solution.
However, Wang Peng was called a silly painting because he lost his consciousness and automatically painted when using superpowers. Because at that time, no matter what his classmates called Wang Peng, what he said to Wang Peng, Wang Peng did not react at all. Even after class, the club was about to close, Wang Peng did not react at all, and he would not recover until after the drawing was finished.
There were even some small episodes in the middle. As we all know, there will always be some small bullies in the school, and as long as it is a school, there will definitely be one. Wang Peng's nickname of the painting fanatic spread in the school, which attracted the attention of these small bullies.
The little overlord immediately went to find Wang Peng's trouble and wanted to see if Wang Peng was really like the circulating.
Then, they happened to bump into Wang Peng who was using his superpowers and lost consciousness. Not only did they call Wang Peng, but Wang Peng just didn't respond. There were many people watching at that time. The little overlords felt that they were losing face, so they directly grabbed Wang Peng's hand, hoping that Wang Peng would stop.
As a result, something surprising happened. Wang Peng, who had lost consciousness, subdued the little bully with one move, and directly dislocated the little bully's hand holding his arm, then ignored the little bully who screamed and continued to draw. This surprised the onlookers who were still worried about Wang Peng. After that, he even heard the news and hurried over. Claire, who wanted to help Wang Peng, saw it, and even lost his eyes.
After this incident, Wang Peng's nickname of Hua Chi has spread even more. No one even called Wang Peng's name, but they were all called Hua Chi directly. Even the teacher joined in the fun and called Wang Peng so much.
There was no trouble with Claire's biological parents. Claire's personal parents were all ordinary people. According to Claire's description, it seemed that her personal parents were young. When she was stealing food, she found out that she was pregnant with Claire, and then gave birth to Claire and was adopted by her current adoptive parents. It can be said that she was so ordinary that she could not be ordinary. However, after listening to Claire's description, Wang Peng felt that there was a strange feeling in the middle, but he didn't think much about it.
"Hi! Painting is crazy, I'm going to sign up for the King and Queen on the Homecoming Day. It's almost over. Are you going to sign up?" Just after class, Wang Peng put down his textbook and walked out with the picture book, intending to go to the classroom for the next class. He just walked out of the classroom door and was patted by someone on his shoulder, and then he was hugged by someone, and a voice sounded beside the sound.
"If I don't go, I won't get involved in that muddy water. And even if I go to register, I will just humiliate myself and I won't choose it at all." Wang Peng turned his head and looked at the person who was talking, and saw Jack, a big boy with big headphones on his neck, and replied.
Since we met last time, through Claire's intermediary, the two have gradually become friends from strangers.
"Try it, your nickname is very loud in school. Maybe you will become a dark horse and be selected as king. By the way, Claire has signed up for the queen." Jack said with a smile.
"Why don't you sign up? Maybe you are also a dark horse. I'm going to class." Wang Peng rolled his eyes at Jack, patted Jack's hand holding his shoulders, and walked towards the classroom where the next class was.
"Hometown Festival, by the way, this is the first time I have had such a festival." Wang Peng not only thought to himself when he saw various posters about Hometown Festival posted on the notice board in the corridor.
Homecoming is a unique festival for middle schools and universities in the United States. There is no such festival in the school in the Celestial Empire where Wang Peng lived in his previous life. After Wang Peng traveled over, he had never participated in this kind of activity except after attending elementary school for a few days and graduating from his doctorate degree.
Although Wang Peng has not participated in it, he still knows a little about what happened to the Homecoming Festival.
Homecoming Festival, also known as the class reunion, is to celebrate the return of old alumni and the joining of freshmen and their friends and parents. Homecoming is held once a year and will be held shortly after the fall starts, usually lasting for about a week.
One of the most attractive events of Homecoming is the "King" and "Queen" of Homecoming. All students vote to select the most popular boys and girls. Then, the King and Queen will parade in a car to kick off the sports competition. The sports competition here is a rugby competition, which is equivalent to the sports meeting of the Celestial Empire. It can also be said that Homecoming is the opening ceremony of the sports meeting.
"Forget it, it has nothing to do with me." Wang Peng glanced at the poster, shook his head, and walked into the classroom to wait for class.
Soon, the day's course ended. Wang Peng packed up his things, stepped on his schoolbag, walked towards the parking shed, and planned to ride his bike home, but outside the school gate, he met Claire with a bag on his shoulder.
"Yo, Claire." Wang Peng pushed the cart over and said hello to Claire.
"Hi, Wang Peng, you're here just right. Do you have something to do now? Can you do me a favor?" Claire was standing by the street, waving to stop a taxi. Hearing Wang Peng's voice, he turned his head to look at Wang Peng who was pushing the bicycle, and said with a lit look.
"I'm fine, what do I need to help you?" Wang Peng answered after hearing this.
"Our school is going to hold a homecoming festival recently. You should know that the venue needs to be laid out. I decided to make a big banner at the door. Jackie said that she couldn't find that big or long paper, so I planned to find foreign aid." Claire said.
"Who is Jackie?" Wang Peng felt that the name sounded familiar and asked casually.
"Wang Peng, you still don't know Jackie's name? There should be no one in our school who doesn't know her name now. Jackie is the 'saving hero'." Claire said in surprise, with a sarcastic tone after speaking.
"Oh! It turns out it was her. I know what the truth is, so I didn't pay much attention to that." Wang Peng said suddenly.
At that time, the train derailed. Wang Peng saw with his own eyes that it was Claire who saved people in the fire. Then Claire was afraid that his supernatural powers would be exposed, so he did not dare to admit it. Then he fled the accident scene. Then the police came to find the hero to save people. As a result, like Claire, he was the deputy captain of the cheerleader team. He lied that he was a hero to save people and had not been seen through until now. Whether in school or elsewhere, the girl was incredible.
However, Wang Peng has only now learned the name of the lying girl, Jackie.
"Jackie said there is not that long paper. I plan to ask my dad for help. My dad works in a paper mill and can easily find paper that meets the conditions in the paper mill. If you are fine, can you take me to the paper mill? I haven't waited for the car for a long time." Claire said.
"Is Mr. Bennett's workplace? OK, I'll take you there. I'm fine anyway, but I have to go home first, don't you mind?" Wang Peng nodded after hearing this.
Seeing Claire nodding and not minding, Wang Peng did not ask Claire to wait for him at the school gate, but instead took Claire back to his home, threw his bag home, and took Claire to the paper mill where Bennett worked.
"Huh~ It's so big." Wang Peng followed Claire's direction and rode for more than ten minutes before coming to the paper mill. He sighed as he looked at the people coming and going inside and the various mechanical operations.
"Come with me, my dad is inside." After Wang Peng parked the car aside, Claire said to Wang Peng.
Wang Peng followed Claire through the industrial factory and went to the studio inside. There were fewer people and much quieter people inside. There was no sound of roaring when the machinery was running, and the sound insulation effect was very good.
"Hi! Dad!" Wang Peng and Claire walked to the reception desk. Claire explained his purpose to the reception desk. After a few words, he saw Bennett coming out of a room in the corridor. Claire waved and greeted.
"Claire? And Wang Peng, why are you here?" Bennett, who was working in his hand, heard Claire's voice and looked subconsciously. Seeing Claire running over and Wang Peng standing not far away, he asked in surprise.
"The school is preparing for the homecoming festival. We planned to make a banner at the door, but Jackie said it was not that long paper, but I said I could find it, so I came to you, Dad, and I planned to be a hero, hehe." Claire grabbed Bennett's arm and said coquettishly.
"Hello, Mr. Bennett." Wang Peng also came over at this time and greeted Bennett.
"You guys, hey, Benny, take them to the reserve room, there should be the paper you need." Bennett looked at Claire, smiled dotingly, called a passing subordinate and ordered, and said to Claire and Wang Peng in the second half.
"Thank you dad, I know you're the best." Claire stood on tiptoe and kissed Bennett on the cheek.
"I'll go first." Wang Peng saw that Claire and Bennett might have to chat for a while, so he said, and followed Bennett to the reserve room.
