Chapter 27 New Classmates
In the short few minutes after being away from his acquaintances, Yu An's mood became visibly depressed. He stood alone in front of the school gate, his pink lips tightly pursed, and his hands dishonestly tied Claude's tentacles into knots.
This was his habit when he was feeling anxious; he had to hold something in his hands.
Claude lazily opened his eyelids and glanced at the cub, feeling mixed emotions as he watched the tentacles entwined and then separated under his little hands.
In all his years of life, this was the first time someone dared to play with his tentacles like this, using them as ropes. Only Yu An could do this. If it were someone else, he would have swung his tentacle and beaten the ignorant boy to death.
Claude looked at Yu An's gloomy face, hesitated for a moment, and then stuffed the other tentacle into his hand, comforting him awkwardly, "Why are you sad? They are just in a different class from you, they are not dead. You can go find them anytime."
It’s okay to skip classes and go look for him.
Anyway, no one dared to say anything.
Yu An was reluctantly comforted by Him, and felt a little better. He held Claude in his arms like a doll, and said in a low voice, "I'm just scared. Can you please not leave me?"
The only familiar people around him were Claude and Xiaobai, but Xiaobai was an electronic product and was not allowed to be brought into the school, so Yu An could only put it in his small schoolbag.
The little guy's soft voice contained fear and dependence, as if he couldn't leave Claude.
Claude already knew that Yu An was a clingy little guy, so he looked away and nodded awkwardly, "Yeah, I won't leave."
Forget it. The little guy is so dependent on him. If Solander comes back, he can just kick him back.
At this moment, Claude completely forgot Yu An's dependence and reluctance to part with others, and also ignored the fact that Yu An could not tell the difference between him and Solander at all. The child always thought that he was Solander.
Yu An looked at Claude in surprise. After "Solander" fell ill, he became much more aloof. He was not as talkative as before and even stopped fighting with Xiaobai.
[I love you so much.] Yu An rubbed his head against Claude's with a feeling of happiness, [I love you the most, I love you so much.]
The aloof Lord Usatos was dazzled by the sweet words of the little cub. If Usatos was not born black, one would have seen him turn red little by little.
The elementary school teacher who arrived late came jogging over, panting. He was a short, fat middle-aged man wearing a gray-blue shirt. When he ran to Yu An, his back was wet with sweat.
He wiped his sweat and looked Yu An up and down. "Are you the new elementary school student, Yu An?"
Yu An stuffed Claude into his pocket and tilted his head to look at the teacher, "It's me."
"My last name is Yao, you can call me Teacher Yao." Teacher Yao glanced at Yu An twice and took him to the school. "I am currently teaching Class One, Grade Two. The school has assigned you to our class. I will be your homeroom teacher this semester..."
Yu An listened attentively, but suddenly realized there was no further follow-up. He looked at Teacher Yao in confusion, but did not dare to ask questions. He just nodded obediently, "I understand, teacher."
That should be correct.
Yu An glanced tentatively at Teacher Yao's expression, fearing that he might accidentally offend him. The little guy, who had never been with a teacher before, was very uneasy.
He reached into his pocket again and squeezed Claude like a stress relief toy.
Claude: “…”
After pinching, Yu An breathed a sigh of relief and felt much better.
Teacher Yao has been observing Yu An. Normally, she would not accept students transferring in the middle of the semester, but she heard from the higher-ups that several students who transferred today have unfathomable backgrounds, and the higher-ups are very secretive about the specific identities of these children.
All the teachers were very curious about them.
There are countless wealthy children in Boya Experimental School. Teacher Yao herself is not a rich person, but she can still tell from most of the luxury brands.
The clothes Yu An was wearing were not any luxury goods he was familiar with. They might have been custom-made. There were also many wealthy people who disdained to pursue so-called "big brands" and they had their own special custom brands.
"Yu An, where did you go to kindergarten?" Teacher Yao asked in a roundabout way, "Is it Kyoto Royal Kindergarten?"
The Imperial Kindergarten is the best kindergarten in Kyoto, and wealthy families send their children there.
Yu An looks like a delicate jade sculpture, with red lips and white teeth. It is obvious that he was raised with money and was spoiled.
"No." Yu An shook his head. "I didn't go to kindergarten. My dad taught me at home."
Teacher Yao: “…”
What if it becomes even more mysterious?
Yu An met Teacher Yao's inexplicably hot gaze and felt confused, but he was not used to looking at strangers. He pretended to look at the scenery and looked away, looking at the sky and the earth but not at this strange teacher.
The smile on Teacher Yao's face was worthless. He knew that the second generation of rich people were always arrogant.
Yu An first went to Teacher Yao's office. The moment he entered the door, all the teachers in the office looked at him tacitly, with obvious curiosity in their eyes.
Yu An wanted to step in, but also wanted to turn around and run away. After some mental preparation, he took a deep breath, followed Teacher Yao into the office, and politely greeted the teachers around him, "Hello, teachers."
The teachers nodded at him kindly.
"This is your school uniform, and all your books for this semester are here." Teacher Yao pointed at the pile of books on his desk and handed Yu An an unopened school uniform. "You don't have to wear it today, but you must wear the school uniform and nameplate tomorrow, otherwise you will be punished."
The nameplate was very small, so Yu An put it directly into his pocket. However, he accidentally didn't put it in, and it fell to the side. A small tentacle picked up the nameplate like lightning and put it back into his pocket.
None of the teachers present noticed this strange side.
Yu An could take his school uniform and nameplate, but he couldn't carry such a large pile of books into the classroom at once. Teacher Yao saw his difficulty and patted him on the back. "Go to the classroom first. I'll call a few other students to help you carry it."
It was the end of get out of class time and the second grade class one classroom was bustling with people. The little ones were full of energy and were playing and fighting in the classroom and corridor, unable to sit still for a moment.
Xu Mingyao is the king of the class. He is much taller than the other little kids and has a bad temper, but there are still many boys around him who want to play with him.
A boy who liked to tease Xu Mingyao the most deliberately took the pencil case on his desk. Xu Mingyao immediately chased after him. He was so focused on chasing the pencil case that he bumped into a short kid when he rushed out of the classroom.
His chin hit the man's head, causing him to gasp in pain. His temper flared up, "You're so blind..."
Xu Mingyao's anger gradually disappeared when he met Yu An's watery lake blue eyes. He blinked, looked at Yu An's red and swollen forehead, and was speechless.
Yu An's skin was fair and tender, so even the slightest bit of redness would be particularly noticeable. After such a severe collision, a large area of his forehead turned red, which looked very scary.
Not only is it scary, it hurts too.
Yu An's head spun for a few seconds, and it took him a while to recover. Then waves of pain came from his forehead. The little guy, who was always afraid of pain, had red eyes and tears filled his eyes.
"Oh my little ancestor." Teacher Yao was so frightened that her heart sank. She quickly squatted down to check on Yu An's condition. "Are you in a lot of pain? I'll take you to the infirmary. Don't cry, don't cry."
Yu An sniffed and shook his head firmly, "Thank you, teacher. I'm fine. I don't need to see a doctor."
If he were to be given an injection, it would be even more painful.
In comparison, Yu An’s head didn’t hurt that much.
Teacher Yao's heart slowly relaxed. "That's good. I hope everything is fine."
But the next second, his gaze towards Xu Mingyao turned serious, "Xu, didn't the teacher tell us not to run in and out of the classroom? Look, you bumped into a classmate."
Of course, he only scolded him verbally. Teacher Yao knew how naughty Xu Mingyao was and how he disobeyed discipline. But his family was rich, so he didn't want to offend him, so he just let him go.
Yu An looked at Xu Mingyao, who was a head taller than him. Although he was being scolded by the teacher, his expression did not change much. He just looked at him intently.
The bump on Yu An’s forehead hadn’t gone away yet, so he naturally didn’t want to bother with the culprit.
After Teacher Yao gave him a long and earnest explanation, Xu Mingyao stared at Yu An and asked, "Teacher, is this the new student?"
Teacher Yao picked up the thermos and took a sip. "Yes, that's perfect. Go find a male student to go to the office and get the book. It's on my desk."
Xu Mingyao looked at Yu An, "Is it his?"
"Um."
"Then I'll get it." Xu Mingyao, contrary to his usual behavior, became helpful and slowly walked in front of Yu An, saying with a guilty tone, "I didn't see the road clearly just now and bumped into you. I'm sorry."
"I'll go get your book for you, and then you'll forgive me, okay?"
Yu An: “……?”
This person didn't seem like this at first.
"You just said that I bumped into you because I didn't have eyes." Yu An looked at Xu Mingyao pitifully. Although his voice was low, he was very sure, "I heard it clearly."
But he was clearly walking into the classroom normally. Yu An felt aggrieved, and there was resentment in his eyes when he looked at Xu Mingyao.
This is a very bad brother, Yu An thought.
"I did say that, but I...I..." Xu Mingyao was anxious to defend himself, but he couldn't find an excuse. Looking at Yu An's red and swollen forehead, he lowered his head and said, "I was wrong."
This was the first time Xu Mingyao apologized, because Yu An was the cutest little boy he had ever seen. He was like a glutinous rice dumpling and spoke softly. When he was hurt by him, he would just lower his head silently and feel aggrieved, and would not even hit him.
If he didn't apologize proactively, this obedient and soft little brother would cry.
Yu An reluctantly accepted his apology, wiped the tears from his eyelashes, looked up, and found that almost all the students in the corridor were staring at him.
For a socially anxious person, this is scarier than seeing a ghost.
Yu An's fair face suddenly turned red, and he covered his face with his hands as he followed Teacher Yao into the classroom.
The students who were gathered in front of the classroom door to watch the excitement were also dispersed by the dean of studies who rushed over after hearing the news. Yu An breathed a sigh of relief, his clenched palms full of sweat.
Teacher Yao introduced Yu An to the students in the class. He saw that Yu An was introverted, so he just said a few brief words and found a seat for him to sit down.
Yu An's seat was by the window. His new deskmate was a boy with a bowl-cut haircut and thick black-framed glasses. He looked even more taciturn than Yu An.
The two of them spent a few seconds in suffocating silence, and the boy with the bowl-cut hair finally spoke, "My name is Wan Cen."
Yu An also hurriedly introduced himself, "My name is Yu An."
"I know. Teacher Yao has already said that." Wan Cen pushed up his glasses, looking mature for his age. He looked at Yu An's face and said, "You are very cute."
Yu An: “…Thank you?”
"You're welcome. I'm not complimenting you. I'm just telling the truth."
Yu An: “…”
He felt the suffocating feeling of having difficulty breathing again.
Yu An closed his mouth and lay dejectedly on the table, looking at the green trees and flower beds outside the window. Brother Yunshu, Brother Yixing, Brother Ersheng, I miss you so much.
Wan Cen probably sensed that Yu An wasn't impressed by his words. After a moment's thought, he brought up the topic again and approached Yu An mysteriously, "Do you know that there are monsters in our world?"
Yu An: “…Yeah.”
His indifferent reaction made Wan Cen furious. Wan Cen continued, deliberately lowering his voice to create the feeling of telling a horror movie, "It's one of those terrifying, man-eating monsters that can swallow children like us in one bite."
Yu An: “…”
What could he say? He had one in his pocket.
Don't tell anyone else about the existence of alien species. This is what Wen Xun repeatedly warned him before he left.
Facing Wan Cen's excited eyes, Yu An's eyes wandered, adhering to the principle of saying less and making fewer mistakes, "Oh."
Wan Cen: “…”
There was silence between the two of them, and the conversation with the new deskmate came to an abrupt end.
