Chapter 106: This Celebrity Just Wants to Study

Chapter 106: The Trendy Hairstyle It had only been five days since they last met, but Pu Tong felt as if every classmate had changed somehow. Many classmates even told him: “Pu Tong, we haven’t seen you for five days and you’ve gotten even more handsome!” All he could do was smile and say nothing. When people see each other every day, they usually cannot notice subtle changes.

Millions of anti-Shah demonstrators—estimated to number between six and nine million—have taken to the streets across the country, sparking one of the largest waves of protests in history. Experts commented, "Even after accounting for possible exaggeration, the scale remains historically unparalleled, reflecting the public's overwhelming dissatisfaction with the current regime."

Analysts fear that a prolonged interruption of Iranian oil exports could trigger another global oil cri...
