"Rex!"

Linda's voice silenced the noisy Class One for a moment.

Then came another burst of noise as the students looked on with surprise and greeted Rex. Wang Dadong even teleported to the front of the classroom and warmly embraced Rex.

"Rex, why didn't you tell me you were coming back?" Wang Dadong looked at Rex with surprise.

“Of course it’s to surprise you,” Rex pushed up his glasses. “Besides, I promised to stay with you until the end of high school.”

"Great!" Wang Dadong almost picked Rex up and spun him around, but Rex weakly refused.

Xia Xiang: Isn't he exaggerating a bit?

The distance from the front to the back of the classroom is only eight meters. It took Rex, with his two long legs surrounded by his classmates, more than five minutes to walk, which shows how popular Rex is in Class 1.

After Wang Dadong had finished catching up with Rex and the others, he finally approached Wang Yase and the other two new classmates.

"Rex, let me introduce you. These three are new students in Class 1-1, and also my good friends," Wang Da Dong introduced Rex.

"This is Wang Yase, also known as KO.3. This is Ding Xiaoyu. The girl sitting in front of you is my neighbor, Xia Xiang."

"Hello," Rex said, extending his hand to Arthur Wang, but Arthur Wang just looked at him without moving. So Rex turned slightly and extended his hand to Ding Xiaoyu.

Ding Xiaoyu saw that he didn't react much, and simply shook hands with him lightly.

Rex walked up to Xia Xiang again.

"Hello, Rex." Xia Xiang smiled and extended her hand.

"Hello," Rex smiled, but his pale face made him look like a sickly young nobleman.

In the end, Wang Yase shook hands with Rex politely, out of respect for his brother Wang Dadong.

Wang Yase: "Xiaoyu, don't you think he looks familiar?"

Ding Xiaoyu: "I know what you're thinking, but it's impossible."

Xia Xiang feigned confusion: "What are you talking about?"

——

"You said you disappeared yesterday because you were chasing after that KO.2?" Xia Xiang looked at Wang Arthur in surprise, "And Wang Arthur suspects that Rex is that KO.2."

Wang Yase nodded.

Ding Xiaoyu said, "He doesn't look like someone who would fight."

Wang Yase sighed helplessly, "Do you look like someone who would fight?"

The three looked at each other and fell silent.

Ding Xiaoyu said, "If he really is KO.2, why would he pretend? That's impossible."

“He must have his own purpose,” Wang Arthur seemed very suspicious of Rex.

"If he really is KO.2, who cares what his purpose is? He probably won't hurt the class, right? After all, this is the first time we've met him, but we've known the other students for almost three years," Xia Xiang comforted Wang Arthur.

"If he really has malicious intent, we should worry about ourselves."

She couldn't very well say, "Wang Yase, you guessed right."

"What are you worried about?" Wang Dadong suddenly asked.

"It's nothing," Xia Xiang shook her head.

"Oh, right, let's go to the Heartbroken Man's stall together today to welcome Rex back," Wang Dadong said happily. "Xiangxiang, you can't run off first this time."

Xia Xiang agreed, and the five of them walked to the stall.

Wang Yase was extremely annoyed. "Xiaoyu, do you think all women are like this? Isn't she changing too fast?"

Ding Xiaoyu: "She must have her reasons for doing this. I also think Rex is very suspicious now."

Wang Yase: "What reason could she have? Hasn't she always been very emotional and done whatever she wants?"

Ding Xiaoyu: "...Isn't this better?"

Wang Yase: "She's practically Wang Da Dong 2.0, okay?"

Both of them looked helplessly at the three people in front of them.

Xia Xiang and Rex chatted enthusiastically, switching freely between Chinese and English, discussing everything from poetry and songs to philosophy of life, from market economy to social environment.

Wang Dadong was extremely anxious, but he couldn't get a word in edgewise, and his gaze towards Xia Xiang became increasingly resentful.

Soon the five of them sat down in front of the Heartbroken Man's stall...
