Chapter 389: An unusual alarm
The two of them came to the school cafeteria together. The cafeteria was bustling with people coming and going.
The aroma of various delicacies permeates the air, whetting one's appetite.
Yu Jialing skillfully took Jian Yue to a window and queued up for food.
While waiting in line, he enthusiastically introduced the various delicacies in the cafeteria to Jian Yue, "The pasta at this window is especially delicious, with rich sauce and chewy noodles. And the hamburgers over there are also very good, with thick patties and fresh side dishes. What do you like to eat?"
Jian Yue was infected by Yu Jialing's enthusiasm and said with a smile: "They all sound good. I want to try them all."
After preparing their meal, they found an empty seat and sat down.
Yu Jialing began to eat with big mouthfuls, praising it as she ate, "Mm, it's really delicious! Jian Yue, try it."
Jian Yue couldn't help but laugh when she saw how relaxed she was.
I took a bite of the pasta and it tasted really good.
During the meal, Yu Jialing continued to talk.
He shared his experiences and feelings about coming to this school, and also told some interesting stories about his time in Hong Kong.
Her language is lively and interesting, and her expressions are rich and varied, often making her laugh out loud.
Jian Yue gradually relaxed and chatted with the girl about her hometown and family.
They found that they had many common interests and hobbies, and they had more and more topics to talk about.
"Here, we not only learn knowledge, but also experience different cultures and broaden our horizons. You are so outstanding, you will definitely gain a lot in school." Yu Jialing encouraged.
Jian Yue became more relaxed, "You are amazing too. I feel like you have adapted so well. I still have a lot to learn from you. Maybe in the future I will have to rely on you, an old hand, to guide me!"
Yu Jialing laughed, "What old timer? I just came here a little earlier than you. But don't worry, I'm here to make sure you can thrive in this school."
The two smiled at each other and continued to eat happily.
After finishing their meal, the two waved goodbye.
There happened to be a post office nearby, and Jian Yue prepared to go there to mail the letter.
He walked briskly towards the post office near the school.
Cars are driving on the streets and everyone is wearing brightly colored clothes.
In the post office, the wooden counter bears traces of time, and various postal regulations and charging standards are posted on the wall.
There weren't many people, but there were a few people queuing up to handle business.
People were talking in low voices and occasionally there were coughs.
Jian Yue stood at the back of the line, waiting patiently, looking around from time to time. She felt unfamiliar and curious about everything here.
Finally it was her turn.
Jian Yue walked to the counter with a smile, handed the letter to the staff, and spoke standard English, "Hello, I want to send this letter to China."
The staff member who took the letter was a middle-aged man with glasses and thinning hair.
He looked at the address on the envelope, then looked up and asked, "Is this an ordinary letter or a registered letter? Ordinary letters may take a long time to deliver, and there is a certain risk of loss along the way. Registered letters are relatively safer, but the cost will be slightly higher."
Jian Yue asked without hesitation, "How much does a registered letter cost?"
The staff told her a price.
"Then send it by registered letter."
The staff took the letter, carefully checked the address and other information on the envelope, and then began to process it.
The letter was placed on the inspection table aside for routine inspection.
However, when he picked up an instrument to scan the letter, the instrument suddenly issued an abnormal alarm.
The staff's faces turned serious.
"Excuse me, ma'am, there seem to be some items in this letter that don't conform to regulations. We need to check further."
Jian Yue was stunned and said doubtfully, "It's impossible. I'm just an ordinary letter. There's only the letter paper I wrote on and some photos in it."
The staff member explained: "Our detection equipment will not make mistakes. It may be that some items produced similar reactions when scanned. According to regulations, we need to open the letter for inspection."
Jian Yue looked puzzled and frowned in refusal, "Can you not open it? I'm sure there's nothing illegal in it. This letter is very important to me. It's sent to my family."
The staff member said helplessly: "Madam, this is our rule. If we don't check it clearly, we can't continue to handle the mailing business. And if there is really a problem and it is not handled, it may cause trouble in the subsequent transportation process of the letter, or even fail to be delivered."
Jian Yue stood in front of the counter, caught in a dilemma.
On the one hand, I understand that the staff is performing their duties, but on the other hand, I don’t want the letter I carefully prepared to be opened casually.
Just then, the manager of the post office heard the noise and came over.
He was a nice looking middle-aged man, dressed in a neat uniform.
After understanding the situation, "Ma'am, we understand your feelings very well, but in order to ensure the safety and smooth delivery of the mail, we must check it. But don't worry, we will carefully open the letter in front of you and try not to damage the contents. If there is no problem after the inspection, we will immediately repackage it for you and send it out."
Jian Yue looked at the manager's sincere eyes, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.
Under her gaze, the staff carefully opened the envelope and meticulously checked every piece of letter and photo inside.
After a careful inspection, it was found that the thickness of one of the photos was slightly abnormal, causing the instrument to misjudge.
The staff member breathed a sigh of relief. "Ma'am, I'm sorry, our equipment is too sensitive. There is no problem with your letter. We will process the mailing procedures for you now."
Jian Yue nodded slightly, "Thank you, sorry for bothering you."
After the staff resealed the letter and completed the formalities, Jian Yue left the post office with the receipt for the letter.
I didn't expect that even sending a letter would cause trouble.
Jian Yue walked out of the post office, looked at her watch, and her face suddenly changed.
"Time flies so fast, class is about to start!"
I quickly quickened my pace and ran along the street towards the school.
At this time, the streets were still busy with traffic and people were walking around.
While carefully avoiding vehicles and pedestrians, Jian Yue prayed silently in her heart that she could arrive at the classroom on time.
The scene of being late for class kept appearing in my mind. How embarrassing that would be and what a bad start it would be.
Thinking of this, he quickened his pace a bit, and his steps became more hurried.
Finally, I ran to the school gate and without even taking a breath, I ran straight towards the classroom.
Some students on campus were walking leisurely, while others were chatting on the lawn. When they saw Jian Yue's hurried figure, they couldn't help but cast curious glances at her.
But she had no time to think about that at the moment.
When she rushed to the classroom door, the bell for class rang.
I took a deep breath, adjusted my breathing, and then gently pushed open the classroom door.
All eyes in the classroom were instantly focused on her.
Jian Yue's face flushed slightly, but she still walked to her seat calmly.
The professor glanced at her and nodded slightly to signal her to sit down, without scolding her.
Jian Yue looked at the professor gratefully, then quickly sat down, opened her schoolbag, and prepared her supplies for class.
Although the recent rush made her a little tired, she quickly adjusted herself and devoted herself to class study.
