Uh, what are you thinking? You're going too far.

Feeling ashamed, Chen Bing felt a little guilty. He raised his head guiltily, no longer staring openly at Shang Yunmiao. Instead, he turned his gaze to the freely drifting clouds in the sky, appearing every inch the upright gentleman.

Originally, Chen Bing just wanted to broaden his horizons and distract himself. But just then, he suddenly noticed a combine harvester speeding across a cornfield a kilometer away in the countryside.

As the combine harvesters churned, rows upon rows of golden corn stalks fell, a sight both spectacular and reassuring. This scene caught Chen Bing's attention; his gaze was fixed on it, and he didn't dare blink.

After realizing that Chen Bing was no longer staring at her, Shang Yunmiao breathed a sigh of relief but also felt a sense of loss.

Since you just looked at me, shouldn't I look back at you too?

Thinking this, Shang Yunmiao took the initiative and looked up at Chen Bing's angular face.

From this side view, Chen Bing is really tall; my eyes probably don't even reach his collarbone. I remember him telling me during summer vacation that he's about 175cm tall now.

So tall! It looks very reassuring.

When they were little, they were about the same height as me, how did they suddenly grow so tall?

I feel like a child next to him; he could lift me up with just one hand. If he hugs me, I feel like I could be completely wrapped in his arms, unlike when I was a child…

Hmm...

Shang Yunmiao felt ashamed of her thoughts. She looked down at her toes and unconsciously put her hands behind her back, looking very awkward.

After maintaining this posture for a while, Shang Yunmiao recovered and continued to look up at Chen Bing's profile.

Clean skin, fluffy hair, and the vibrant, energetic appearance of a young man. His cool expression, coupled with his serious and focused eyes, makes him even more charming at this moment.

What is he looking at so intently?

Shang Yunmiao suddenly realized something was wrong. Now was no longer the time to continue admiring Chen Bing's handsomeness. She needed to quickly find out who Chen Bing was looking at!

Why are you staring over there? You're definitely looking at a girl, right? Why? You're definitely looking at a girl, right?

Following the direction Chen Bing was looking, Shang Yunmiao began to scrutinize the people passing by.

There were a total of eleven people: seven boys and four girls. After eliminating the seven boys, Shang Yunmiao narrowed it down to two of the prettiest girls.

No, no, just to be on the safe side, let's keep an eye on both.

The girl in question has short hair, wears an ill-fitting white Mickey Mouse t-shirt, and thick red-rimmed glasses. She looks a little dowdy, which is acceptable... but it's also possible that Chen Bing likes this type.

The second girl is estimated to be 145 cm tall and weighs around 60 kg, which is quite overweight. Logically, this is unlikely, but what if she is? What if she is?

After noting down the other person's physical characteristics, Shang Yunmiao immediately looked at the next girl.

However, before she could memorize the next girl's clothes, appearance, demeanor, and other things that might attract Chen Bing, Shang Yunmiao heard Chen Bing enthusiastically recommending her.

"Xiao Shang, look there! Look at that corn harvester! It can actually peel the corn kernels right out of the cob!"

Following the direction Chen Bing pointed, Shang Yunmiao came to her senses and saw a large, industrial-looking vehicle in the distance, which was sending a stream of golden corn through a pipe at the top to a small truck next to it.

Chen Bing was so excited when she spoke that her voice unconsciously became a little louder, which was heard by the other boys not far away.

Originally, the boys couldn't see this spectacular scene from their perspective because of the school building blocking the view. While Chen Bing was excitedly shouting, the harvester had already moved to the other side of the field.

From Ma Shaolong and the others' position, they could see the area through the open space between the two teaching buildings.

In an instant, the boys became excited. They expressed their excitement with words like "wc," "wko," and "nb."

Skirts, junior girls, girls... they're all insignificant compared to a handsome heartthrob!

Looking at the crazy boys not far away, and then at Chen Bing beside her who was intently watching the harvester, Shang Yunmiao felt ashamed of her earlier thoughts.

Her face flushed, she looked at Chen Bing hesitantly, then at the harvester, then at the girls walking along the main road of the campus, and finally left without saying a word.

As soon as Shang Yunmiao left, Chen Bing noticed her movements.

Chen Bing, assuming the other woman had left out of boredom, didn't say much. After all, girls generally wouldn't understand the charm of a "reaper." So, he simply turned his head and watched her walk towards the classroom.

After watching it go for a while, Chen Bing turned around and stared at the imposing harvester.

After praising it again, as the school bell rang, Chen Bing had to walk back to the classroom with a mix of regret and excitement, discussing the coolness of the harvester with the boys.

After sitting down and listening to Fang Anmin's passionate math lesson, Chen Bing's excitement gradually subsided.

After a quick glance at the blackboard, Chen Bing knew that there was nothing particularly important in this lesson.

The math class on the second day of school taught very simple and basic knowledge, so there was no need to listen to it.

After thinking it over, Chen Bing lowered his head, pulled out a brand new test paper, and prepared to hone his test-taking skills.

Chen Bing has maintained this study habit of relaxing after class and doing practice problems during class for a long time.

To put it conservatively, Chen Bing started the habit of doing college entrance exam and middle school entrance exam papers during class in the first semester of his first year of junior high school. To exaggerate a bit, it's a habit he's had since kindergarten.

Because the knowledge taught in class was indeed not up to his actual level, it was a waste of time for him to be daydreaming.

Therefore, Chen Bing developed the habit of not paying attention in class and focusing on doing her own thing.

Don't ask me why I don't skip grades. Isn't this peaceful and uneventful feeling good enough? It's such a rare and wonderful thing to be reborn, why should I force myself to skip grades?

With so much pressure, why make yourself unhappy?

Isn't that foolish?

Am I drawn to the daily academic pressure, or to the upperclassmen who are a generation older than me?

In comparison, wouldn't it be more comfortable to be able to go to and from school with the pretty, cute, and interesting Xiao Shang every day, and occasionally show off your amazing skills in class or during exams, reaping applause and flowers?

Don't give me that comfort zone or decadence nonsense. Why all this fuss? I'm just going to do a Thomas Flair laydown, I'm just having fun!

You agree, right, Xiao Shang?
