Under everyone's gaze, Du Chen finally copied the schedule onto the blackboard, then returned to his seat without changing his expression. As soon as he sat down, Wang Qingsheng couldn't wait to ask Du Chen.
"Du Chen, does the homeroom teacher know you?"
After hearing Wang Qingsheng's question, Du Chen noticed that the students around him became noticeably quieter, and were consciously or unconsciously preparing to listen to his answer.
"It turns out that Teacher Li is my brother's homeroom teacher, so I've met him a few times."
Du Chen explained briefly.
Wang Qingsheng looked at Du Chen sympathetically. No matter whether a student is good or bad, no one wants the teacher to pay too much attention to them. It would be too stressful.
While waiting for the new textbooks, all the students in the class were talking in low voices, getting to know each other. Du Chen had no interest in this. He just looked at the playground outside the window and chatted with Wang Qingsheng. He was still the same as before, not very fond of socializing. Besides, everyone would go their separate ways in three years and there wouldn't be much intersection. It would be enough to have just a few good friends.
By the time they received the new textbooks, it was already past eleven o'clock in the morning. The head teacher once again emphasized the school time for tomorrow and announced that everyone could go home. Du Chen picked up his backpack filled with books, said hello to Wang Qingsheng, and walked out of the classroom.
When he left the classroom, he saw Li Qiang and Zhao Pengfei standing at the door with their arms around each other. Before Du Chen could say anything, Zhao Pengfei spoke first.
"What a pity that the three of us can't be in the same class."
"Tsk, there's still a chance for Du Chen and me, but since all of you are students choosing schools, it's definitely impossible."
Because they had such a good relationship, Li Qiang didn't care about Zhao Pengfei's face and directly confronted Zhao Pengfei.
"Yes, it's impossible for me, but you can't be in the same class with Du Chen either!"
Zhao Pengfei fought back against Li Qiang without showing any weakness.
"Du Chen, are there any of our classmates in your class?"
Li Qiang ignored Zhao Pengfei and thought that arguing with him was just looking for trouble. Instead, he asked Du Chen directly.
"Yes, only Wang Qingsheng."
"Oh, there's not a single one of our classmates in our class!"
"Same!"
Li Qiang and Zhao Pengfei spoke together.
"I actually hope there aren't too many classmates around so I can be quiet. Wang Qingsheng is sitting next to me. If I talk, I don't feel like talking. If I don't, it's a bit awkward."
Du Chen was quite envious of the fact that there were not many classmates in Li Qiang and Zhao Pengfei's class.
"Du Chen, you're still like this after three years. Why don't you want to play with everyone?"
Zhao Pengfei said something.
"If it weren't for me, I don't think you would have had any friends during your three years of junior high school. It was only because of me that I became friends with you without caring about your personality."
"Your personality allows you to be friends with anyone."
Li Qiang smiled and said to Zhao Pengfei, Zhao Pengfei is a talkative person, so no matter who he is with, there will be no dull moment.
"I just like quiet."
Du Chen reluctantly explained to Zhao Pengfei and Li Qiang. As for Du Chen's true inner thoughts, he was a middle-aged man. Although his mentality had become much younger after so many years of rebirth, he still felt that the differences in ideas between his classmates and friends were too great, and they really couldn't talk or play together.
"Du Chen, are you going to participate in the military training in a month? I heard that you can go to the hospital and get a sick leave note so you don't have to participate in the military training."
As expected of a gossipy person, Zhao Pengfei had already found a way to avoid the military training just after it was announced. Li Qiang looked at Zhao Pengfei with admiration.
"Zhao Pengfei, you're truly amazing! If you were thrown back into ancient times, you'd be the perfect leader of the East and West Factories. You'd be the perfect fit. You'd know everything!"
Listening to Li Qiang's evaluation of Zhao Pengfei, Du Chen couldn't help but laugh, but looking at Zhao Pengfei's confused and incomprehensible face, Du Chen admired him even more. Sometimes, ignorance is the best protection for oneself.
"Du Chen, what are the East Factory and West Factory for? And what are you laughing at?"
Although Zhao Pengfei didn't understand what Li Qiang meant, he was not stupid. Looking at Du Chen's smile, he knew that Li Qiang definitely didn't say anything good. Thinking about Li Qiang's somewhat mean character, he knew that this kid Li Qiang definitely didn't say anything good!
Hearing Zhao Pengfei's question, Li Qiang pulled Du Chen.
"Zhao Pengfei, Li Qiang won't let me tell you. Go back and look up the information yourself."
Du Chen gave Li Qiang face and didn't say it, mainly because he knew that Zhao Pengfei would make a fuss if he found out.
"Chenchen! Chenchen!"
Before the three of them reached the gate, they heard someone calling Du Chen. They turned their heads and saw Gu Yue waving at them not far away.
"Du Chen, is that Gu Yue?"
Zhao Pengfei asked Du Chen puzzledly.
"Well, what's wrong?"
"Girls change a lot when they grow up. They are more beautiful than before!"
"Get lost! My sister is so young, stay away from her, you beast!"
After hearing what Zhao Pengfei said, Du Chen directly warned Zhao Pengfei.
"What are you thinking? She looks like Gu Yue to me, so I'm asking you to confirm. I haven't seen her for over a year, so you've definitely changed a lot!"
Zhao Pengfei explained to Du Chen with a helpless smile that he had no feelings for the little girl. He still liked the little sister, but he didn't dare say it out loud.
"No matter what you think, if you dare to have any evil ideas, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"
Du Chen warned Zhao Pengfei again.
"Sister Yueyue, you guys just got out of school too?"
Du Chen walked up to Gu Yue and asked her. Today was just the start of school, so the school dismissal time was not fixed. He had not expected to meet Gu Yue. He thought Gu Yue would go straight back to the glasses store.
"I just came out and saw you guys right away!"
"Oh, it seems we are as bright as the sun in the sky, so dazzling that you can see us from such a long distance!"
Zhao Pengfei was joking in a cocky way.
As soon as Zhao Pengfei finished speaking, he felt Du Chen's sharp gaze looking at him. Zhao Pengfei's hair stood on end, and he thought of Du Chen's warning just now.
"Just kidding, just kidding!"
Zhao Pengfei smiled awkwardly.
Du Chen glared at Zhao Pengfei, then spoke to Gu Yue with a smile on his face.
"Come on, Sister Yueyue, let's go back to the glasses store. How is it? How does it feel to be in junior high school?"
"It's okay. I've also met our homeroom teacher, Mr. Lu, in advance, and the seat assigned to me is pretty good."
Gu Yue felt quite relaxed throughout the morning, and Teacher Lu was also quite considerate towards her.
"Du Chen, let's go first. See you tomorrow!"
When they reached the intersection, Li Qiang and Zhao Pengfei greeted Du Chen. They were going home on another road and were not on the same route.
When Du Chen and Gu Yue returned to the eyewear store, lunch was ready. Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao were also in the store. As soon as they entered the room, Gu Yue ran towards Ding Miaomiao.
"Sister Miaomiao."
"How was your morning? How are your classmates?"
Ding Miaomiao also happily held Gu Yue's hand and asked with concern.
