Chapter 43
Teacher Xu looked at the clock in the classroom, feeling puzzled.
"It's already 7:50 today, why hasn't Xiao Zhuang arrived in the classroom yet? He usually arrives at 7:40 on time, right?"
Shu Jinye was also keeping track of the time. He came too early today, and every moment of waiting for Xiao Zhuang seemed to be stretched infinitely.
Until the clock slowly ticked to 7:55, a sound was heard outside the corridor.
The little zombie was pulled by Long Qi Che and Lin Yin on the left and right towards the classroom.
Shu Jinye just watched the three cubs enter the classroom together.
"Xiao Zhuang, sit next to me later." Lin Yin took Xiao Zhuang's hand and pulled him in front of her.
Long Qi Che was unhappy that the little zombie was pulled away, so he also tried hard to pull the little zombie towards him.
Teacher Xu didn't know what was going on. Why did these two kids start fighting over the little zombie as soon as they entered the classroom?
She quickly stepped forward to stop them: "You two, don't tear the little zombie apart."
Only after being scolded by the teacher did the two kids let go of the little zombie.
Xiao Zhuang's hands were finally released. He held the backpack straps on his shoulders and prepared to walk back to his seat.
It was almost 8 o'clock, and the other students who usually arrived at school on time rushed into the classroom.
Xianxian and the fat boy Zhuangzhuang squeezed into the door frame together. When they saw Xiaozhuang rushing over, they also rushed over.
Xianxian pulled Xiaozhuang's hand away from the bag strap and said, "Xiaozhuang, hold it!"
Zhuangzhuang: "I want to hold it too!"
Just a few seconds after Xiao Zhuang's hands were freed, he was pulled up again from the left and right. He was pulled back and forth with an expressionless face.
Teacher Xu couldn't bear to watch it any longer. "Let go of everything! Go back to your positions and do your job well!"
Thinking that their parents were in the corridor, Xianxian and Zhuangzhuang didn't dare to act rashly, and hurriedly sat down on the small stool in a dejected manner.
Teacher Xu looked at the kids and muttered quietly, "Why do they all like to snatch the little zombie so much? It's a good thing the little zombie has a good temper..."
Jiang Chen arrived at the classroom door a step later. At this time, Xiao Zhuang was already sitting quietly at the back of the classroom. He smiled with satisfaction.
Shu Jinye was in the corridor watching Jiang Chen coming with other parents.
Jiang Chen's long brown hair was tied up with a hairpin. He wore a black turtleneck shirt with a gray mist green knee-length suit coat over it. The coat was not buttoned and was loose and simple in style.
Compared to the home clothes that Shu Jinye saw last night, Jiang Chen had a completely different temperament. He had lost his lightness and looked more restrained, steady and dignified.
Shu Jinye subconsciously wanted to go forward and say hello, but there were too many parents in the corridor at that time, so it was not appropriate to get close to them.
Jiang Chen glanced at Shu Jinye out of the corner of his eye, but his expression showed no reaction.
He walked into the classroom and gave Xiao Zhuang his favorite teddy bear.
"Little Zhuang, be good and go to class. Daddy will pick you up this afternoon."
"Yeah." Xiao Zhuang was obviously very happy holding the teddy bear. He kissed his father on the face.
Jiang Chen really couldn't bear to leave the child because he was so well-behaved. He tidied up Xiao Zhuang's clothes before slowly leaving the classroom.
He didn't even look at Shu Jinye before leaving.
Shu Jinye felt a little lost. He had a strong sixth sense and always felt that Jiang Chen seemed to have a barrier towards him.
Looking at Jiang Chen's leaving back, he looked worried.
As soon as the parents left the corridor, the quiet classroom suddenly became uncontrollable as usual, and the kids who had been sitting obediently on their little stools started playing by themselves.
Xiao Zhuang was sitting alone in his old seat in a daze. The classroom was in chaos. Long Qi Che took advantage of the chaos to move his stool closer to Xiao Zhuang.
Only when he was near the little zombie could he not hear the chaotic voices in his mind. Although the classroom was very noisy, physical noise was much better than magical noise. He just had to stare blankly and think about nothing.
Long Qi Che sat there obediently and in a daze just like Xiao Zhuang. He had never felt so calm inside.
College students can only enter the classroom at 8:30.
Teacher Xu was waiting for today's arrangements in the work group. She didn't know if the head teacher had forgotten about it and didn't announce today's tasks yesterday, so she didn't know what these children were going to do today.
She thought that if there were no arrangements, she would just attend classes as usual.
At this time in the principal's office, the kindergarten principal had a bitter and resentful expression on his face.
The content of the comprehensive course is almost the same every year. This year he wants to do something new, but he has no idea what to do.
If this year is the same as previous years, there will be nothing new.
Soon there was a knock on the principal's office door.
The assistant informed that a classmate's parents came to consult.
The headmaster cleared his throat and said, "Come in."
Father Long strode into the office with his assistant. He looked up and down at this ordinary office, which was much more shabby than the aristocratic kindergartens that Long Qi Che had attended before.
"Hello, Director."
"Are you Long's parents? What can I do for you?"
"It's like this, Principal, you are aware of my son's situation. I came here today to express my sincere gratitude to your school."
"Mr. Long is so polite."
"My child has changed a lot since coming to school. I'm really grateful. If the principal doesn't mind, I'd like to offer a seven-day parent-child trip on the East China Sea Princess cruise ship to all the teachers and students in your school in the name of Long's Enterprise."
"Princess of the East China Sea?" The headmaster was struck by the name.
The East China Sea Princess is the most expensive and luxurious cruise ship in the entire Federation. Only the rich or noble can get on board. The sky-high price is so high that ordinary people may not be able to afford it even if they empty their entire family savings.
The headmaster's eyes rolled in excitement. He understood the psychology of these wealthy people best, and it was undoubtedly to gain face for his son.
It just so happened that he was having trouble figuring out what new activities to arrange for the comprehensive course. It was like sending a pillow when he was sleepy.
"Then thank you, Mr. Long."
"It's nothing. If the principal needs any help, I will do my best to provide it. As long as the principal asks, I will also donate a few more teaching buildings to your school."
The headmaster laughed so hard that he turned into a smiling Arhat. “No, no, no…”
"Then let's talk about the details of the study tour."
“…”

In the noisy classroom, Xiao Zhuang sat in the back corner of the classroom. The students in the front were fighting, and no one could control him even though his college classmates were in the classroom.
Only the corner where Xiao Zhuang was was peaceful.
Shu Jinye came to the little zombie.
They haven't issued any tasks today, and Xiao Zhuang looks a little lonely sitting on the stool alone. He plans to play with Xiao Zhuang first.
Shu Jinye walked over to Xiao Zhuang and squatted down. "Xiao Zhuang, can uncle play with you?"
Xiao Zhuang shook his head warily.
Shu Jinye held the toy in his hand: "What's wrong? Don't you want to play?"
The little zombie lowered his head and picked at his fingers without responding.
Shu Jinye felt that Xiao Zhuang was acting a little strange today. He smiled and took out some candy from his pocket. "Xiao Zhuang, do you want some candy? Uncle has some here."
Xiao Zhuang still shook his head and refused.
Today, Shu Jinye could feel Xiao Zhuang's strong rejection of him, and he didn't know what he had done wrong.
He wanted to hold Xiao Zhuang's hand, but Xiao Zhuang shook his head and refused, putting his hands behind his back to prevent Shu Jinye from touching him.
He won't eat the snacks given to him and it's obvious that nothing can be done to coax him.
Xiao Zhuang was not good at speaking. He pouted, put his hands behind his back and shook his head to refuse Shu Jinye's flattery.
[Yesterday my brother made my father angry... He's not a good person...]
Hearing Xiao Jiang's inner voice, Shu Jinye's heart skipped a beat.
