#Akloit College's Things You Must Know
No one knew that Reece was actually from Akloit College, and this was a story filled with bitterness.
Reece's father had rented a farm in the countryside and raised pigs. He hoped his son wouldgraduate and return to take over the family business. His father even secretly changed his majorfrom piano to "Postnatal Care for Sows."
By the time Reece found out, it was too late.
This major was under the School of Biochemical Engineering, and no one knew which crazyprofessor came up with this idea. To cater to the market's demand for talent, they decided toestablish a major in postnatal care for sows. They were worried that no one would enroll, butunexpectedly, someone foolishly put it as his first choice.
The old professor was delighted and personally went to the airport to pick up his only student.
Reece thought this music professor was warm-hearted because he valued his potential as amusician.
However, he couldn't have been more wrong. The professor was indeed intent on nurturing him, butnot as a musician.
While other freshmen shared various exciting photos of their new and sophisticated surroundings orpictures of gatherings with classmates, Reece was alone.
The plan was to admit ten students, but as soon as the other nine heard the major was postnatalcare for sows, they'd rather spend money to transfer to other schools.
Reece was the only one who had accepted the offer.
The old professor treated him to a bowl of sweet and sour spare ribs in the cafeteria and then askedwith a smile, "Is it delicious?"
Without thinking too much, Reece, inexperienced and starving for the day, not enjoying the in-flightmeal, was now delighted with the piping hot sweet and sour spare ribs and nearly bit his owntongue.
"It's delicious." Reece was so excited that he couldn't speak clearly.
The old professor was full of expectations, smiling and supporting his chin with his hands, as if heconsidered his own wrinkled face a blooming flower.
"Do you want to know how to make sweet and sour spare ribs?"
With a mouthful of ribs, Reece blinked and said, "Well..."
He probably didn't need to know that. He had a dedicated cook at home, and her cooking wasdecent.
Without asking for Reece's opinion, the old professor grabbed his hand and dragged him to an openspace behind the biology building, where he had constructed a makeshift small house using hollowbricks. There, he planned to demonstrate how to cook sweet and sour spare ribs.
Reece looked at the "shantytown" house and heard the strange sounds of creatures.
"Oink oink oink..."
This sound... he was no stranger to it.novelbin
He often heard it at home and was sickened by it. He thought that going to college would providesome peace and quiet, but it seemed the noise had followed him here.
Reacting quickly, Reece tried to escape and cover his ears, but the old professor extended a leg toblock his way.
"Where are you going? This is your classroom for the next four years. Take a look and make friendswith your little buddies, especially Piggy."
Piggy? You mean that sow, Snowball?
Reece's world crumbled in an instant.
He wanted to transfer to another school, but his father informed him that this major was speciallyselected for him, and if he transferred or dropped out midway, he'd receive no more allowance. Hisfather, as stern as he was, kept his word.
By the way, that pesky old professor was named Edwards, who happened to be Cheyenne'sgrandfather, Layne Edwards.
