Girls tend to be more perceptive, not only in their own feelings but also in their ability to observe the emotions of others. After finishing her test, Shang Yunmiao stretched her wrists and looked up to look out the window to relax her eyes.

Her gaze swept over Ma Lele beside her, and in the brief moment of a second or two, she keenly sensed that the other woman was secretly crying.

In an instant, Shang Yunmiao recalled herself when she first started kindergarten. Back then, she also cried secretly, but even though it was secret, the urge to cry was no less intense than those who cried out loud. She didn't dare cry out loud then, but why was Ma Lele crying like that?

The reason may not be important; what matters is how to comfort someone who is crying.

Shang Yunmiao then recalled that in kindergarten, whenever she couldn't help but cry, Chen Bing would say things to distract her while playing with toys with her.

Thinking of this, she looked up and glanced at the podium.

I don't know when, but the homeroom teacher had already left. The students in the class were making a ruckus, chatting with their new classmates who sat next to them or sat in front of them.

Seeing this, Shang Yunmiao looked away and then patted Ma Lele on the shoulder with a smile.

After the other person slowly wiped away her tears and then slowly raised her head, Shang Yunmiao handed her a piece of graph paper and gently asked, "Would you like to play Connect Four?"

...

While Shang Yunmiao was radiating her gentle glow, what was Chen Bing doing on her end?

daze.

Daydreaming is such a great skill; in the blink of an eye, most of the boring time can slip away. Chen Bing thought to herself as she put the book "The Three-Body Problem," which she had read four times, back on the table.

After glancing at the time on the clock, Chen Bing guessed that Yun Xuan or Liu Yue should be coming to pick her up soon.

Sure enough, when the clock struck 8:10 p.m., the classroom door was slowly pushed open. Corresponding to this was a gradually fading silence in the conversation.

After looking at the noisy classroom, Fang Anmin didn't say anything. He walked in and waved to Chen Bing and Shang Yunmiao respectively, then said with a smile, "You two pack your bags and come out with me for a moment."

As soon as Chen Bing and his companion stepped out of the classroom, they saw Yun Xuan standing at the door waiting for them. It seemed that she had come to pick them up and happened to run into Fang Anmin.

"Okay, thank you, Teacher Fang. I'll take the children and head out now."

"Okay, Teacher Yun, please take care. The road is slippery after the rain."

After saying goodbye to their homeroom teacher, Chen Bing and Yun Xuan got into the car and left the school.

"How's it going? First day of school, are you getting used to evening self-study?"

On the way, Yunxuan glanced at her daughter leaning on Chen Bing's shoulder and jokingly asked the two of them a question.

"It's pretty good, it's very different from elementary school." Shang Yunmiao replied after thinking for a moment.

“It’s actually not so bad for day students, but those who live on campus probably have a bad mood when they go to bed at night,” Chen Bing added, following Shang Yunmiao’s words, and then adjusted her posture to make the little girl more comfortable.

"Oh, speaking of which, I just remembered. During evening self-study just now, I noticed Ma Lele next to me was secretly crying." Chen Bing's words reminded Shang Yunmiao. She looked up at him and said with great feeling, "Chen Bing, is someone crying over there?"

I was reading a novel during class, how could I possibly notice if someone was crying?

Faced with Shang Yunmiao's expectant gaze, Chen Bing pondered for a moment before replying, "There probably are, but most of them are fine. For example, Cai Kunnan next to me, he caught a mosquito and played with it for most of the class."

"Oh, I see."

Hearing the conversation between the two children in the back seat of the car, Yunxuan, who was driving, showed a slight aunt-like smile.

"By the way, Bingbing, your mother went back to Shangping this afternoon. Come to Aunt Xuan's house for dinner after she gets back."

Since she was already quite familiar with Yunxuan's family, Chen Bing accepted their invitation without much hesitation.

After having dinner at Yunxuan's house, Chen Bing returned to her own home, took a shower, and climbed into bed.

After finishing all of this, the day was almost over. Chen Bing took out her phone and saw that it was already 9:30 pm. According to her usual routine, it was almost time to go to bed.

And this is after going home one evening self-study session early; one can imagine that time will be even tighter in high school. This is one of the reasons why many middle schools prohibit day students from attending school.

Schools like Baishi No.1 Middle School, with their relatively lenient management style, are quite rare.

According to the schedule for this week's military training, Chen Bing and his companion need to be at school before 7 a.m. on the second day. Considering the time for washing up, eating, and traveling after getting up, they should set their alarm for 6 a.m. tomorrow.

To ensure eight hours of sleep, you should go to bed no later than 10 p.m.

Chen Bing pondered these things, set his alarm, and then took out a calcium tablet from his bedside table. He swallowed it in one gulp, turned off the lamp, and went to sleep.

The night was long, and in the dormitory building of Baishi No.1 Middle School not far away, the boys of Class 1, Grade 7 were chatting excitedly, talking about everything under the sun. Judging from their excitement, they probably wouldn't finish chatting until the early hours of the morning.

The girls' dormitory, just one floor away, was far less lively. Most girls were huddled under their blankets, rubbing their nipples. The sobs, though faint, were unusually clear in the quiet dormitory.

The next morning, after putting on their military training uniforms and enjoying a loving breakfast prepared by Teacher Yun, Chen Bing and Shang Yunmiao were taken to school.

Because teachers don't have to work during military training, Ms. Yunxuan can go home and continue watching dramas after dropping off the children.

On the way from the school gate to the classroom, Chen Bing saw that Xiao Shang looked sleepy with droopy eyelids, so he reached out and pinched her cheek.

Shang Yunmiao, whose cheek had been pinched, raised her questioning eyes and looked at Chen Bing, her expression as if asking, "What's wrong?"

But immediately, her big eyes turned shy. Her cheeks flushed with shyness, and in an instant, the beautiful morning glow seemed to dance on her fair and delicate face.

Shang Yunmiao nervously glanced around the campus. After confirming that no one was around, she pretended that her backpack strap had come loose, reached out and tugged at it, and then walked forward without looking to the side.

Her steps were upright and powerful, and her previous drowsiness seemed to have vanished in an instant.

Seeing the little girl in her camouflage uniform, Chen Bing couldn't help but smile, recalling the phrase "I'm not a cute girl, I'm a spicy female soldier" that she had seen online in her previous life.

His laughter made Shang Yunmiao, who was walking ahead, turn around. She tilted her head, not understanding why Chen Bing was laughing. After thinking about it, she decided to give up.
