Rebirth of Bloody Romance

The afternoon sun shines through the dense leaves, forming patches of mottled light and shadows, like golden elves dancing happily on the ground, seeming to foreshadow that something unusual is about to happen to this quiet campus.

Zhong Yuemin slowly stepped onto this familiar tree-lined path, and each step seemed extremely heavy. His heart was like the surging waves of the sea, unable to calm down.

He knew that he had a heavy responsibility for this thrilling journey in the Gobi Desert and all the bizarre events that took place there, and he needed to give everyone a clear explanation and account.

Finally, Zhong Yuemin stood in front of Professor Zhang's office. He took a deep breath and then gently knocked on the slightly old wooden door.

"Come in!" Professor Zhang's low and gentle voice came from inside the door, accompanied by a hint of eagerness and anticipation that was difficult to conceal.

Zhong Yuemin pushed open the door and stepped into the room. Professor Zhang was sitting at the desk, holding a pen in his right hand, staring at the paper in front of him intently, as if he was pondering an important question.

When Professor Zhang raised his head and his eyes met Zhong Yuemin's, his tense expression instantly relaxed and he showed a relieved smile. "Xiao Zhong, you are finally back. I have been worried about you for a long time! Especially about that huge mysterious snake and the sudden strong earthquake in the Gobi Desert. What is going on? Tell me in detail."

Zhong Yuemin stood solemnly in front of Professor Zhang's desk, his voice deep and powerful. "Professor Zhang, that giant snake...finally chose to self-destruct. In an instant, its body suddenly expanded, as if all the energy in its body was gathered together, and then...an earth-shattering explosion occurred. The explosive force was so strong that it was beyond imagination, and even the surrounding rocks were blown into pieces. There is no doubt that the earthquake in the Gobi Desert was caused by its self-explosion."

After listening to this, Professor Zhang's face became very heavy and his brows were tightly furrowed. It was obvious that he was shocked and puzzled by this outcome. "Self-detonation? How is this possible? This behavior is really unbelievable! Why does the giant snake have such amazing abilities?" he muttered to himself.

Zhong Yuemin shook his head helplessly, a look of bewilderment and doubt in his eyes. "To be honest, I don't know the reason. The scene was extremely chaotic, and the only thing I could do was to run away desperately to survive. But one thing is certain, that giant snake is definitely not an ordinary creature. The power it possesses is far beyond our previous cognition." At this point, Zhong Yuemin's tone became more firm, as if he wanted to convince himself.

Professor Zhang was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke. "Xiao Zhong, your experience is so bizarre that it is hard to believe. I have to report the situation to my superiors immediately. However, before that, I hope you can think carefully about what happened at the time and see if there are any small details that have been overlooked."

Zhong Yuemin nodded quickly to show that he understood. Then he closed his eyes and tried to recall the thrilling memory.

Gradually, those blurred images reappeared in my mind - the first thing that caught my eye was the huge, terrifying python! Especially its blood-red eyes, which seemed to be burning with rage, revealing endless madness and despair;

The next moment was when I desperately tried to escape. The desire for life that surged from deep within my heart was like a powerful force that pushed my body forward continuously...

As Zhong Yuemin gave his detailed and vivid description, Professor Zhang's already serious face became even more serious.

Obviously, he knew very well that this incident could not be a simple coincidence, and there must be some unknown secret hidden behind it. Perhaps, once this shocking secret is revealed, it will bring earth-shaking changes to the whole world...

In the quiet and peaceful atmosphere, Professor Zhang was originally immersed in deep thinking, but suddenly he came back to his senses as if awakened by something.

Professor Zhang's sharp and deep gaze happened to fall on Zhong Yuemin, who was sitting next to him, with his head down and lost in thought.

"Xiao Zhong!" Professor Zhang's voice was soft and firm, yet it seemed to have an irresistible power that instantly broke the intoxicating tranquility around him.

"Professor Zhang, I'm listening. Please give me your instructions." Zhong Yuemin quickly raised his head and responded, his eyes revealing respect and obedience for Professor Zhang.

Professor Zhang nodded slightly, showing satisfaction, and continued, "Go to the principal's office now and find the principal. There are some things I need to discuss with you."

When Zhong Yuemin heard this, he scratched his hair subconsciously, with a confused look on his face. "Professor Zhang, what does the principal want to see me about?" he asked curiously, with a strong sense of doubt in his heart.

In response to Zhong Yuemin's question, Professor Zhang raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing an unfathomable smile, as if he knew the reason. "Well... maybe it has something to do with your work assignment." He answered in a low voice, with a faint sense of mystery in his words.

When Zhong Yuemin heard the word "distribution", his heart suddenly tightened. It was only then that he suddenly realized the work distribution problem he was about to face. As he had been busy with the Gobi Desert recently, he had almost forgotten about it.

"Oh! Okay, I'll be there right away." Zhong Yuemin replied as he stood up and walked hurriedly towards the door.

Zhong Yuemin left Professor Zhang's office with a nervous mood, and the sunlight in the corridor reflected on his face.

Zhong Yuemin couldn't help but wonder what the principal wanted to talk to him about. Was it about the assignment? Was there a decision about his assignment for the upcoming graduation?

Zhong Yuemin walked and thought, various possibilities emerged in his mind. After walking through the long corridor, Zhong Yuemin came to the door of the principal's office. He took a deep breath and knocked on the door gently.

"Please come in." Principal Zhou's steady voice came from inside the door.

Zhong Yuemin pushed the door open and walked in. Principal Zhou was sitting behind his desk, looking at Zhong Yuemin gently through his reading glasses.

"Zhong Yuemin, you're here." Principal Zhou said with a smile.

"Yes, Principal Zhou." Zhong Yuemin answered respectfully.

Principal Zhou nodded slightly to show his agreement, then reached out to open the drawer, took out a folder, and handed it to Zhong Yuemin. "Here is your future work arrangement, you can check it carefully."

Zhong Yuemin was full of doubts, but he still followed his instructions. He nervously opened the folder and saw a transfer notice with the school's bright red seal. After he quickly read the specific terms in the notice, he was stunned, as if he was under a spell.

"Principal Zhou, is there really no mistake in this notice?" Zhong Yuemin's face was full of astonishment. He suddenly raised his head to look at Principal Zhou, and his voice unconsciously rose eight octaves.

Facing Zhong Yuemin's question, Principal Zhou nodded calmly and responded in a calm tone, "Of course you are right. After comprehensively evaluating your professional qualities and future development potential, we unanimously believe that these two positions are more suitable for you."

"But...Principal Zhou, this is simply too ridiculous!" Zhong Yuemin obviously could not accept such an arrangement and became increasingly agitated.

"Let's not talk about anything else. Just looking at my major, it's obviously physics! But now, it's either the history department or the economics department. Tell me, what courses can I teach in my situation? Are you asking me to teach physics?"

"This is a decision from above. Why don't you go and ask them what they mean?" As soon as Principal Zhou finished speaking, Zhong Yuemin felt as if his heart was hit hard by a thousand-pound boulder. All his strength seemed to be drained in an instant, and he became extremely depressed and lost.

Zhong Yuemin tried hard to calm himself and not let his inner turmoil show. At the same time, he stared at Principal Zhou's face, trying to catch some clues through his expression and find out what had happened.

"Principal Zhou, don't be angry. Whose idea did you come up with? Aren't you trying to embarrass me on purpose?" Zhong Yuemin asked with a forced smile, his words filled with unconcealable bitterness and helplessness.

After hearing this, Principal Zhou raised his lips slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile. He looked at Zhong Yuemin thoughtfully, and there seemed to be some kind of deep meaning hidden in his eyes, which was hard to fathom.

"You little brat should just be content! To tell you the truth, even I am a little jealous of you." Principal Zhou said softly, his tone calm and firm, without the slightest hint of joking.

Zhong Yuemin was stunned. He couldn't believe his ears. Just now, Principal Zhou actually said that he was jealous of him? How could this be possible? He stared at Principal Zhou's face with his eyes wide open, trying to find even a hint of joking or teasing. However, Principal Zhou's expression was extremely serious, without any sign of joking.

"Envy me? Principal Zhou, please stop making fun of me." Zhong Yuemin looked confused, thinking to himself: How could the decision made by this mysterious boss make people envious? This is really unbelievable!

Principal Zhou sat there with a warm smile on his face, but at this moment, his expression suddenly faded and was replaced by a serious look. He stared at Zhong Yuemin opposite him, and his tone revealed a certain seriousness that could not be questioned.

"Zhong Yuemin, I'm not kidding." Principal Zhou put down the teacup in his hand, his eyes were sharp. "In the History Department, every time Professor Zhang and his team go out for archaeological excavations, your responsibility is to protect their safety. As for the Economics Department, you only need to teach one open class every week. Such an easy job has never existed in the school before."

Zhong Yuemin couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. He scratched his head, a bit helpless on his face. "Principal Zhou, if you put it that way, I really am... Hehe, but, having said that, this job is indeed easy."

Principal Zhou couldn't help but smile when he saw this, but then he frowned again. "But, Yuemin, don't be too happy too soon. It seems that there are other arrangements for you. Someone will come to talk to you in a while."

Zhong Yuemin was puzzled when he heard this. He touched his chin and muttered, "Another arrangement? What would it be?" Before he finished speaking, he shook his head and laughed at himself, "Alas! When I was sent to work in the production team, the donkeys in the production team were not used like this."

Hearing this, Principal Zhou couldn't help but burst into laughter. He patted Zhong Yuemin on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Yuemin, you are the treasure of our school, how can you be compared with a donkey? But having said that, this arrangement is indeed a bit special, but I believe you can do it."

While the two were chatting and laughing, there was a knock on the office door. Principal Zhou stopped smiling and said seriously, "Come in."

The door slowly opened, and two men in Zhongshan suits walked in. They were tall and strong, with strong faces, giving people a sense of majesty without anger. Seeing this, Zhong Yuemin couldn't help but stand up straight, secretly guessing the purpose of this uninvited guest.

"Hello, Principal Zhou. I am the director of the State-owned Enterprise Reform Office. My last name is Wang. I am here to talk to Comrade Zhong Yuemin about work matters." Director Wang said straight to the point.

Principal Zhou nodded and motioned for Zhong Yuemin to come forward. "Hello, Director Wang, I am Zhong Yuemin."

Director Wang said with a smile on his face, "Xiao Zhong! There's no need to be so formal with each other. Minister Zhong is my old leader, you can just call me uncle!"
