Chapter 79 Transfer Student Joins
"Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year!"
After the winter vacation, a new semester begins.
In line with the start time of most primary schools in China, the start time of the next semester of the Extraordinary Children's Academy is scheduled for the 16th day of the first lunar month.
At the school gate, students who had just spent the winter vacation had smiles on their faces and enthusiastically greeted classmates whom they hadn't seen for a long time.
Li Pingan greeted all his familiar friends one by one.
Back at school, she walked along the familiar road to the door of her classroom, where Qi Yu and Zhang Dongyang were already sitting in their seats.
"Happy New Year, little junior sister!" From a distance, Zhang Dongyang spotted Li Pingan at the classroom door and couldn't wait to wave and say hello to her.
"Happy New Year, senior brother." Li Ping'an carried her small schoolbag, walked through the corridor between the desks, and sat down in her seat.
She put down her schoolbag and said to Qi Yu beside her: "Happy New Year, Qi Yu."
Qi Yu nodded slightly, "Happy New Year, Li Ping'an."
Zhang Dongyang, who was sitting in front of Li Pingan, turned his head in disbelief and asked, "Junior Sister, what did you call me just now?"
Li Pingan smiled and repeated, "Brother, Happy New Year."
Zhang Dongyang's whole person was sublimated. Tears welled up in the corners of his eyes and he sobbed, "Wow, it's been a semester, and I finally got the status, right?"
Qi Yu looked at him with disdain and said, "Turn back quickly and stop throwing your snot on my desk."
Zhang Dongyang wouldn't listen to him. His junior sister recognized him as her senior brother, and he was so proud of himself now.
Li Pingan looked away from the delighted Zhang Dongyang, and turned to look at Qi Yu and said, "Qi Yu, how do you feel about going home for the New Year? Is the food at home delicious?"
Qi Yu turned his head awkwardly and said, "That's it."
Then, as if trying to hide his inner turmoil, he frowned and said, "Li Ping'an, why do you always think about eating?"
Speaking of food, Li Pingan becomes excited.
She took out a luxurious lunch box from her small schoolbag as if to show off. When she opened it, the various snacks inside almost blinded the two men's eyes.
Zhang Dongyang exclaimed: "Junior sister, is this what Master made for you? Master is so amazing."
Li Pingan shook her head and said, "No, Uncle Lu Chen made this for me." She held up five fingers and said, "I've gained five pounds this winter vacation."
Zhang Dongyang glanced at Li Ping'an's increasingly round chin, then subconsciously looked down at his own belly, and shook his head, "Junior sister, how can you be considered fat? I gained ten pounds during the Chinese New Year, and you've gained less than half of mine."
When it comes to fatterness, no one can compare to Zhang Dongyang.
Li Pingan had been a little worried about his weight, but now his mood suddenly became good.
She generously pushed the lunch box in front of Zhang Dongyang and Qi Yu, and recommended: "Uncle Lu Chen's cooking skills are very good, do you want to try it?"
She pointed at the snacks in the lunch box and said, "My favorites are the Jiutian Feixue Cake and the Danxia Fried Shrimp. You guys should try them."
Zhang Dongyang has been wanting to eat for a long time.
Today was his first day of school. He stayed in bed for a while in the morning, so he just ate two big meat buns for breakfast before he had to leave.
Looking at the Jiutian Feixue Cake in the lunch box, which was golden and crispy, with the tempting aroma wafting into his nose, he couldn't wait to pick one up and take a bite.
Mm~ The crust is crispy and the filling is sweet. When you take a bite, you can seem to feel the snowflakes gently falling from the sky.
"How magical!" Zhang Dongyang exclaimed, "This pancake is obviously hot, why does it feel like eating snowflakes?"
Li Pingan smiled mysteriously and explained, "Because Uncle Lu Chen said that this Nine Heavens Flying Snow Cake contains a kind of spiritual grass called Snow Spirit Grass. Snow Spirit Grass only grows on cold mountaintops above 8,000 meters above sea level, and can only be picked after the first snow in winter. So when added to the flour cake, the taste is very unique."
Over 8,000 meters above sea level? Only the Himalayas meet this condition.
Could it be possible that this seemingly ordinary pancake was made on the top of Mount Everest?
The image of Lu Chen making pancakes on Mount Everest popped up in his mind. Zhang Dongyang looked at the half pancake in his hand and his jaw dropped in shock.
On the other side, Qi Yu also tasted the Danxia fried shrimp recommended by Li Pingan.
The tenderness of the shrimp meat, with a hint of fruit sweetness, freshness and sourness intertwined in the mouth, creating an indescribable wonderful experience.
He couldn't help but eat bite after bite.
Li Ping'an held his chin with his hand, watched the two of them eat heartily, and said with a smile: "Is it delicious?"
Seeing that he was eating very fast, Zhang Dongyang quickly finished the Jiutian Feixue Cake in his hand and went to grab the Danxia Fried Shrimp.
When the shrimp meat enters your mouth, your whole soul seems to float up.
tasty!
It’s really delicious!
Fortunately, he only ate two big meat buns in the morning.
Zhang Dongyang stuffed his mouth with shrimp meat and asked as he ate, "Why is it called Danxia Fried Shrimp? It's such a strange name?"
Li Pingan replied: "Because this dish uses Danxia fruit, perilla leaves and lime, Uncle Lu Chen said that Danxia fruit is the soul of this dish, and its color and aroma can perfectly blend with shrimp meat, so it is named Danxia fried shrimp."
"Danxia fruit?" Qi Yu had never heard of this kind of fruit. "What is that?"
Li Pingan shook his head. "I don't know either. I only heard from Uncle Lu Chen that it grows in a place where the sunset glow meets the light of a specific star. It bears fruit once every hundred years, and the number of fruits is extremely limited."
So Lu Chen told her that this was a limited-time dish and she might not be able to eat it for a while after finishing it.
"Ah!" Zhang Dongyang looked at the fried shrimp that was almost eaten up and murmured, "So this dish is so precious. If we had known earlier, we would have eaten less."
This was specially made by Li Ping'an's elders for her. She didn't expect that she and Qi Yu would eat so much of it.
He felt a little ashamed.
Qi Yu also stopped chewing, with a look of annoyance on his face.
He ate a little too much, and most of the Danxia fried shrimp went into his stomach.
Li Pingan waved his hand and said, "It's okay. Delicious food should be shared with friends."
Seeing that the two were slow to speak, she consoled them, "I've been eating at home every day during this winter vacation, and I'm tired of it. If you like it, eat more."
Qi Yu and Zhang Dongyang finally felt relieved.
When the three of them had almost finished eating, the head teacher walked in from outside the classroom, stood on the podium, clapped his hands and said, "Students, be quiet for a moment."
Zhang Dongyang quickly wiped his mouth and turned away. Li Pingan also put away his lunch box, put a heat preservation talisman on it, and put it in his schoolbag.
Seeing that all the students in the class had quieted down, the head teacher cleared his throat and continued, "Today is the first day of school. At the same time, our class will welcome a new student. He transferred from another city. I hope everyone can give him warmth and help so that he can integrate into our big family as soon as possible."
After saying that, the head teacher waved to the door and said, "Come in."
Everyone looked over and saw a little boy with short flaxen curly hair at the classroom door.
He has a fair and delicate appearance, a high nose bridge, and seems to have a mixed-race look. He was wearing a well-fitting three-piece suit with a down jacket on the outside, and carrying a small schoolbag. He walked step by step to the podium and stood still.
The head teacher introduced to everyone: "Classmates, this is our new classmate, his name is Mu Ziye. Mu Ziye had excellent grades in his previous school and has a cheerful personality. I believe he will definitely become a part of our class."
There was warm applause in the classroom, and everyone was talking about it.
"He's so cute."
"Did he transfer from another school for extraordinary children?"
"Where is he from?"
"What is a superpower?"
Everyone started discussing at once and had countless questions for the new student.
Compared with the curiosity of other students, Li Pingan and the other two were more surprised.
They recognized Mu Ziye when he appeared at the classroom door, but at that time they were not sure whether he was the person they met at the hot spring base.
It was not until the head teacher introduced his name that they confirmed it was him.
Unexpectedly, Mu Ziye transferred to their school.
This world is too small.
Compared with the enthusiasm of his classmates, Mu Ziye seemed a little quiet.
While everyone was discussing, he just stood quietly on the podium without saying a word, with his eyes lowered, looking a little shy.
The head teacher stood aside, watching this scene, with a touch of maternal love in her heart.
She knew that Mu Ziye needed time to adapt to the new environment, but she also believed that the children in this class would give him enough support and friendship.
"Okay, students." The head teacher clapped his hands and said, "Let's give Mu Ziye some time to adapt. Now, please sit back in your seats. We are ready to start today's class."
After saying that, she lowered her head to look at Mu Ziye beside her and said gently: "Mu Ziye, you should also go back to your seat. Your seat is..."
Before the teacher finished speaking, Mu Ziye suddenly looked up and pointed to the front and said, "Teacher, can I sit there?"
The head teacher was stunned and looked up at the place he pointed. Someone was already sitting there.
Qi Yu just sat there.
She asked subconsciously: "Why? Don't you like your new seat?"
Mu Ziye lowered his head, his fingers clutching his coat, and whispered, "I used to sit in that position in class."
The head teacher was silent.
A moment later, she heard Mu Ziye whisper again: "Teacher, I'm scared."
The head teacher didn't know what Mu Ziye was afraid of, but this action undoubtedly made her maternal love burst out instantly.
Without thinking, she raised her head and asked Qi Yu, "Qi Yu, can you switch seats with the new classmate?"
Qi Yu said coldly: "Why?"
The head teacher was speechless for a moment.
Seeing that the situation was a bit stalemate, Mu Ziye pulled the teacher's clothes and said, "Forget it, teacher, don't bother classmate Qi Yu, I'll just sit back in my original seat."
The pitiful look made the students sitting at the front of the classroom feel pity for him.
Mu Ziye is still so young, and he has just transferred from another school. What's wrong with him? He is so pitiful.
Everyone looked at Qi Yu with confusion.
"Why don't we change seats?"
"Qi Yu is too ruthless."
"Can being the top student in the grade be so awesome?"
Qi Yu had a cold face, his hands in his pockets, and remained unmoved.
Seeing the voices of dissatisfaction getting louder and louder, Zhang Dongyang could not help but stand up and shouted: "Are you guys mistaken? Qi Yu was originally sitting here. He ignored the seat assigned to him by the teacher and insisted on sitting in Qi Yu's seat. How can it be Qi Yu's problem if Qi Yu doesn't change with him?"
Li Ping'an looked at Qi Yu with some concern. She felt that Qi Yu was not wrong, but she also didn't want her classmates to misunderstand him like this.
In fact, he is a person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. If Mu Ziye had asked him nicely, he might not have refused so harshly.
Li Ping'an turned his head to look at Mu Ziye who was standing on the podium. He was originally dissatisfied with him, but when he saw him standing there alone, he couldn't help but think of the time at the hot spring base when he said that he had lost his parents a long time ago. He couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
Mu Ziye said that he used to sit in Qi Yu's position in school. Perhaps he wanted to find something familiar in an unfamiliar environment.
While Li Ping'an was daydreaming, Zhang Dongyang was about to start a quarrel with the kids in his class.
The head teacher felt a headache when looking at the noisy students.
She knocked on the podium and said, "Students, please be quiet."
The audience soon quieted down. Everyone raised their heads and looked over, waiting for the teacher's decision.
The head teacher was in a dilemma. She didn't think too much about it at first. She just wanted to take care of the new student and proposed to Qi Yu to exchange seats. Unexpectedly, Qi Yu rejected her outright. This made things difficult.
She can't just ignore Qi Yu's feelings just to take care of the new classmate.
After all, maintaining the mental health of extraordinary children and keeping their SAN values within a safe range is the top priority of their Extraordinary Children's Academy.
Suddenly, the head teacher had an idea and thought of a way to have the best of both worlds.
