The school bell rang, and someone sat down in the empty seat next to Lu Chuqing.
She turned her head and saw a girl with braided pigtails.
The other person greeted her first, "Hello, I saw this place was empty so I sat down. You don't mind, do you?"
The little girl had a soft, sweet voice and spoke Mandarin with a slight accent, but it didn't sound uncomfortable; on the contrary, it was quite adorable.
"I don't mind," Lu Chuqing said.
The girl smiled shyly, took a chocolate bar out of her bag and handed it to her, "My name is Qu Fusang, what's your name?"
Lu Chuqing took the chocolate and smiled at Qu Fusang. "My name is Lu Chuqing. Thank you for the chocolate, but I didn't bring any snacks today. I'll give you one another day."
Qu Fusang waved her hands repeatedly, "It's alright. I just wanted to apologize to you..."
The girl looked somewhat embarrassed, and Lu Chuqing knew that she was apologizing on behalf of the boy for what had happened back then.
After a pause, she said, "Actually, I was also at fault in that matter. I should have asked first whether anyone was sitting there."
"But I won't apologize for hitting someone; that guy was so rude."
Hearing this, Qu Fusang forced a smile. "He was indeed a bit rude, and his words were unpleasant..."
The little girl was speaking softly when the homeroom teacher came in from outside, slamming the notebook in her hand against the lectern, and all sounds instantly stopped.
Lu Chuqing saw a hint of pity flash across Qu Fusang's face, and quickly straightened her expression to look at the podium.
The homeroom teacher was a middle-aged woman whose unmade-up face looked quite fierce.
After calming the troop of chicks, he raised his voice and began to introduce himself, "My surname is Wang! My given name is Qiang!"
Wang Qiang picked up a piece of chalk and quickly wrote her name on the blackboard, then turned around, picked up her notebook, and slapped it against the podium again.
"Starting today! I am your homeroom teacher! There are eight classes in each grade of our junior high school! We are Class 3!"
"The school forbids us from separating high-achieving and low-achieving students into classes, but I, Wang Qiang, will not teach students who are good for nothing! So my class only has students who can study! Anyone who doesn't want to study should get out of this class as soon as possible!"
The classroom was silent for a few seconds before a screeching sound of someone pulling out a chair came from the back row.
Qu Fusang's expression changed slightly. She turned her head to look in the direction of the sound. The blond-haired man behind her, who had already stood up, noticed her gaze and swallowed the words he was about to say, instead saying, "Teacher, I need to take a dump."
The previously restrained atmosphere in the class instantly shattered, with one boy leading the laughter, and then the whole class burst into laughter.
Wang Qiang's face darkened. She glared at the boy before yelling, "You busybody! Go and come back right now!"
The boy immediately whistled, put his left hand in his pocket, snapped his fingers with his right hand, and swaggered toward the back door.
Wang Qiang's face darkened even more. "Go back and dye your hair black today! If I see you with this hair color tomorrow, I'll just shave it off!"
The boy acted as if he hadn't heard anything and continued walking out, which angered Wang Qiang so much that she picked up her notebook and slammed it against the podium a few more times.
The first day of school ended in such a strange way.
As Lu Chuqing finished packing her schoolbag after school, Nangong Yu suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Qing'er! I heard there's a new milk tea shop that opened on the street behind the school. Shall we go grab a drink?"
Before she could respond, Qu Fusang exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! Really? Can I come with you? I like milk tea too."
Nangong Yu hadn't been paying attention to her before, but now he could only turn his head to look at her, and immediately met the girl's expectant eyes.
He asked, puzzled, "Aren't you going with blondie?"
Qu Fusang's expression froze for a moment, her cheeks flushing slightly. "He has friends who want to hang out with him."
She looked at Lu Chuqing again, and reached out to tug at the hem of the girl's school uniform short-sleeved shirt. "Lu Chuqing, can I go with you?"
Originally, Lu Chuqing hadn't planned to agree to Nangong Yu's request, but the little girl next to her was tugging at her clothes and had a particularly soft and sweet voice, so how could she refuse!
There was absolutely no way to refuse.
"We're all classmates, it's fine to go together, let's go together then."
"Thank you." Qu Fusang smiled, took out her schoolbag and slung it over her shoulder, then held out her small hand to Lu Chuqing, "Can we hold hands?"
Nangong Yu glared at him, expressing his dissatisfaction, "No, how come you're more outgoing than me!"
The boy stretched out his hand and declared confidently, "I don't care! I'm going to pull him anyway!"
Lu Chuqing tried her best to hold back, preventing her face from scrunching up like an old man on the subway looking at his phone, and patted Nangong Yu's palm.
"You'd better tone down your enthusiasm! Be mindful of your gender, or don't blame me for being impolite if you go too far."
Nangong Yu cried out in pain, "Oh! I can be a girl too!"
Lu Chuqing rolled her eyes at him, grabbed Qu Fusang's wrist, and walked out. "Let's go, let's ignore this lunatic."
The girl turned to look at the boy with a resentful expression, then turned back to her and whispered, "You two seem to get along quite well. Does he like you?"
"Like him?" Lu Chuqing laughed, a particularly sincere and straightforward laugh. "Does he look like someone who likes people?"
Qu Fusang remained silent.
During the digital painting class, she asked Nangong Yu why he always followed her around and even tried to become her friend in a very familiar way.
Then the other person answered without hesitation, "Because I think you have a very special aura! That aloof and detached feeling! You have a real boss vibe! So I want to get on your good side as soon as possible and get on your good side!"
