Zhao Xiaowei could only hurry back to her seat to avoid further embarrassment.

Lou Qianzong breathed a sigh of relief, then turned his head and caught sight of a few pieces of chocolate scattered on the ground. He then kicked the chocolates away with a long leg, as if the chocolates next to him were an insult.

Seeing this, Zhao Xiaowei felt even more frustrated. When she looked up again, she found some classmates turning around to look at her. She felt that their gazes were full of mockery and disdain, as if they were all mocking her actions.

But she clearly saw Lou Qianlin talking to Yi Nian, and Yi Nian seemed very happy after talking to him, obviously having a pleasant conversation with Lou Qianlin. Why is Lou Qianlin treating her like this?

She glared at Chu Nian's retreating figure, gritted her teeth, and buried her head, pretending to read a book.

Chu Nian was puzzled as to why Lou Qianlin had come to the school, but she didn't want to talk to him, so she could only send him a WeChat message.

Upon seeing the WeChat ID, Lou Qianlin immediately replied to her, "Why can you come but I can't? Don't think that old geezer will protect you. I can take you out anytime I want."

After thinking for a moment, Chu Nian decided to turn around and have a serious talk with him.

She asked, "Why do you call Chen Zhao 'that old codger'?" That's a strange way to address him, as if Chen Zhao has lived for a very long time and is immortal. Even if he is a time traveler and has indeed lived for a very long time, there's no need to call him "that old codger" all the time. Who would be happy to hear that?

So she added, "He has a name, Chen Zhao."

Lou Qianzong didn't refute, he just snorted softly.

Chu Nian wasn't surprised by his reaction. She hadn't expected Lou Qianzong to obediently tell her Chen Zhao's real name, and she didn't think she needed to know the real name of the transmigrator inside Chen Zhao's body: they might meet again, but they were just passersby anyway.

Her attitude towards "passersby" has always been that if you meet someone by chance and can get along well with them, then do so, which is to cherish the connection; if you can't get along well with them, then try to stay away; and if you have to get along with someone due to circumstances, then "let" them get along well.

However, if it's someone she'll never meet again, she generally won't put too much thought into it.

It seems someone once said that her heart is like a vast expanse of sand, leaving no trace for anyone who crosses it. However, she couldn't quite recall who said it; perhaps it was something that happened before she was reincarnated as a movie queen.

The school bell rang, and she sat up straight, starting class like a normal high school student. However, her mental energy detected Lou Qianzong behind her. One moment he was tilting his head, resting his chin on his hand, staring blankly at the blue sky outside the window; the next he was drawing, leaving his mark on textbooks, notebooks, and even the desk; and then he even secretly started eating something...

Coke and chicken wings, you can eat them, but do you have to make such a big fuss? Especially the Coke, when you suck the straw all the way down, you make a really crisp "slurp" sound, as if you're afraid that others can't hear or see it or something.

The teacher, who was teaching, finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "The student in the last row, are you here on vacation?"

"Hahaha..." The students all laughed loudly.

The teacher continued with a helpless sneer: "Or are you here for a picnic?"

Lou Qianzong looked completely bewildered by the teacher's words, appearing quite adorable.

The teacher was even angrier, but he was very cultured and had a good manner, which even Chu Nian admired. Suppressing his anger, the teacher still spoke very politely: "Student, I'm standing on this platform criticizing you, and what about you? Is there glue stuck to your butt?"

Lou Qianzong still looked bewildered, seemingly not understanding why the teacher criticized him, or rather, not quite comprehending the meaning of the teacher's words.

Chu Nian had always found this giant poisonous zombie's personality both amusing and exasperating, but since it was delaying everyone's lesson, Chu Nian still felt it wasn't right, so he turned to Lou Qianzong and whispered, "Stand up!"

Lou Qianzong stared at her with wide eyes.

Chu Nian thought he didn't understand, so she gestured for him to stand up while whispering, "Stand up! Stand up! Get up!"

Damn it! She was furious, let alone the teacher on the podium.

Upon seeing this, the students burst into laughter again.

"Oh." Lou Qianzong seemed to finally understand Chu Nian's words, and then he obediently stood up.

Then, under the teacher's furious glare and the shocked gazes of Chu Nian and his classmates, he picked up a chicken wing and started gnawing on it again.

The teacher shouted angrily, "What's your name? No, no, no, your name doesn't matter anymore. I'm calling your parents to the school right now!"

Lou Qianzong put down the chicken wing and said, "I don't have parents."

"No parents?" The teacher was taken aback. "How could there be no parents?"

"Are you an orphan?" Zhao Xiaowei asked in surprise.

Lou Qianzong did not answer. But the teacher and the other students all assumed that he was tacitly agreeing.

The teacher said helplessly, "No wonder...no wonder...but you don't have parents, no one is looking after you. You should at least know the basic respect for teachers! The teacher is here lecturing, and you're eating and drinking over there. Do you think that's appropriate?"

This teacher is so kind-hearted! As soon as she heard he was an orphan, her tone immediately softened, and she didn't mention the "calling his parents" incident again. Chu Nian was a little disappointed: she wanted to see how Chen Zhao and Chu Nian would interact after he was called in.

Of course, no one dislikes a lively and exciting show.

Lou Qianzong murmured, "What? You're lecturing, can't I eat? But when my teacher used to lecture me, if I said I was hungry, he would immediately prepare food for me; if I said I was thirsty, he would immediately bring me a drink; if I said I wanted to..."

"Stop!" the teacher shouted, interrupting him. "Do you still want me to prepare food and drinks for you?"

The students burst into laughter again. However, when they noticed the teacher giving them a cold look, their laughter gradually subsided.

The classroom suddenly became unusually quiet; you could hear a pin drop.

Lou Qianzong: "That's not what I meant. I have food, don't I?"

Chu Nian turned her head and looked up at his face. She noticed that his brows were furrowed and his expression even carried a hint of confusion and grievance. She said, "You're not allowed to eat in class, don't you know that?" As soon as she said it, she regretted it: How could this drama queen not know that? This little expression was probably just an act.

Lou Qianzong was shocked upon hearing this. He threw the half-eaten chicken wing on the table and exclaimed, "What? I can't eat? Geng Qiu even stuffed this bunch of food and drinks into my bag and specifically told me to eat them after I got to school."
