The road was full of freshmen from various departments, walking in groups of two or three, chattering excitedly about their experiences.
"Gu Ke, calm down."
Xia Shizhao couldn't help but sigh as he walked down the street. What an energetic person! He doesn't seem tired at all after a whole day.
Aren't you looking forward to getting to know your classmates?
Gu Ke, skipping and hopping ahead, looked at Xia Shizhao excitedly and even winked.
Social anxiety and aversion to social interaction? Xia Shizhao looked on in disbelief, but under Gu Ke's expectant gaze, he forced a smile and said:
"I'm... I'm alright."
I'm not really looking forward to it.
"We've arrived at the School of Pharmacy. I'll go in first."
Okay, bye-bye.
See you tonight.
"Ouk."
After watching Gu Ke enter the teaching building, Xia Shizhao looked down at the message Youyou had sent him.
At that moment, a dog in the dormitory was holding a tablet and slapping the screen with its paw with a serious expression. "Impossible, Ye Qiuling couldn't possibly remember you, how could she? If she remembers you, then everyone else in the interstellar community should remember you too. Don't think too much, just focus on your class, nothing will happen."
After reading the message, Xia Shizhao's eyes narrowed slightly. She thought the same thing, but Ye Qiuling's gaze at her yesterday was strange, as if she didn't recognize her.
Feeling like he was being watched by a wild beast, Xia Shizhao felt a chill run down his spine. The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He shook his head abruptly. Forget it, he decided to stop thinking about it and deal with it later. How could a federal general be so idle?
Thinking about it, she felt a sense of relief and strode towards the School of Mechanical Engineering.
As they approached Class 1A, the noise inside subsided. A boy scratched his head, looked at Xia Shizhao whose ears were slightly red, and stammered, "..."
"Excuse me, have you come to the wrong classroom? This is the Mechanical Engineering Department."
Xia Shizhao paused at the doorway, glancing at the class sign with a puzzled look. "Huh? Isn't this Class 1A?"
"Yes, it's Class A. You...you're really in our class?"
The boy's eyes widened suddenly.
Xia Shizhao nodded decisively to indicate that she hadn't gone to the wrong class.
The boy remained silent and stepped aside to let her into the classroom.
The other boys were whispering amongst themselves, but Xia Shizhao wasn't interested.
The first three weeks of classes are theoretical, so they are all held in the classroom. We will go to the practical training room in the fourth week.
So sleepy.
Holding the textbook, Xia Shizhao's eyes darted around as he looked at the theoretical knowledge he had already learned, unable to concentrate at all.
"On the first day of school, everyone come up and introduce yourselves."
Xia Shizhao looked up in confusion at his teacher, an old man with white hair, whose gaze suddenly fell on Xia Shizhao.
For some reason, Xia Shizhao felt a sense of oppression and silently straightened his hunched back.
"You're the first one, little student."
He was speaking only to Xia Shizhao.
Teacher, guess why I'm in the corner of the last row?
Xia Shizhao reluctantly stood up, walked to the teacher's side, faced the class, and coldly spoke:
"Hello everyone, I am Xia Shizhao."
He finished speaking in just a few seconds and quickly stepped off the stage.
The teachers were stunned for a few seconds, then led the applause and randomly selected a student to come up and introduce themselves in turn.
After everyone had finished introducing themselves, the old man stood on the podium and, without even using the microphone, began to introduce himself in a strong voice, “Hello everyone, I am Ge Wu, the president of the Mechanical Association, and also your teacher for the past five years. I am responsible for teaching you all the courses on mecha assembly. You must study hard under my guidance. Since you have come to the Military University, you know that you have a great responsibility on your shoulders. If you do not study hard and have to extend your graduation, I will not be responsible. It will be no use for you to come to me crying when the time comes.”
"knew!"
Everyone gave the same answer.
Xia Shizhao rested her chin on her hand and looked at the class. Upon closer inspection, there were forty people, most of whom were betas, and all of them were male betas. There were a few alphas, both male and female, and apart from her, there were no omegas.
Wait, where's the female beta?
Not a single one?
Suddenly, "Report!!!"
A short-haired girl saluted at the door, her posture upright like a tall poplar tree, her voice clear and resonant, speaking without the slightest hint of timidity:
"I'm sorry, teacher, I'm late."
Teacher Ge glanced at her and said, "Come in and introduce yourself."
"Hey everyone, my name is Ge Shiyi!"
After a brief introduction, she walked to the last row and sat down next to Xia Shizhao. She smiled brightly and extended her hand, "Hello, let's get acquainted. I'm Ge Shiyi, a beta."
"Hello, Xia Shizhao, beta."
"You're so beautiful! At first glance, I thought you were an omega."
After saying that, Ge Shiyi felt something was wrong and was a little annoyed. She looked at Xia Shizhao sincerely and said, "I'm sorry, I offended you."
"It's okay, I'm used to it. I don't really look like a beta with great physical fitness."
Xia Shizhao was helpless. Normal betas with physical qualities of B or above are all over 175 cm tall. Ge Shiyi in front of him is at least 180 cm tall, and he is shorter than her even when he is sitting down.
"Anyway, there are only two female betas in this class, so we can help each other out. You can ask me anything you don't understand."
Ge Shiyi was very enthusiastic, and Xia Shizhao was a little overwhelmed. In comparison, she was too reserved, wearing only a faint smile.
"I'll ask you if I encounter something I don't know."
"Shall we go to the strength and conditioning room later to train? To prepare for future practical training."
Xia Shizhao blinked. He had to go to the School of Pharmacy in the afternoon, but it seemed like he was free in the evening. He nodded and accepted Ge Shiyi's invitation.
Who will be the class monitor?
The classroom erupted in cheers, with students waving their hands in excitement.
"Me! Me! Me!!!"
"Teacher! Look at me!" came the excited, broken voice.
Look at me!!!
"I!"
··················
Xia Shizhao silently watched his excited classmates raise their arms, lost in thought. What was there to argue about? Being class monitor was exhausting.
It yawned and huddled in the corner like a mushroom.
With a simple shrug, one seems indifferent to worldly affairs.
After a while, Xia Shizhao took out chewing gum and said to Ge Shiyi, who was standing to the side with little interest:
Do you want some chewing gum?
"eat."
The two whispered and chatted in the corner, occasionally laughing out loud, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere that seemed completely out of place in front of them.
But some people wouldn't allow them to enjoy this comfort.
Teacher Ge raised her hand and pressed it down, and the scene immediately quieted down:
"Calm down, there's no need to argue. I have a choice: Xia Shizhao, who ranked first in the entire school upon entering the university."
All eyes immediately turned to Xia Shizhao, filled with surprise and astonishment. He was ranked first in the entire school upon entering the university.
The best of the best, but looks so weak?
Facing the gaze of the crowd, Xia Shizhao calmly pressed the chewing gum against his back teeth and coldly spoke:
"don't want."
Seemingly surprised by the rejection, a hint of astonishment flashed in Ge Wu's eyes. He coughed awkwardly twice, "Alright then."
Then he looked at the roster again, pointed to a boy, and said, "Xu Tao, it's you."
"Okay, thank you, teacher!"
Xu Tao's eyes lit up when he was called out. Being the class monitor would mean more contact with the teachers, which was a great resource.
He glanced at Xia Shizhao, who was huddled in the corner, and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes. "You ignorant little planet person."
But Ge Shiyi's lips didn't fall down; she looked exceptionally pleased. "I haven't seen the old man get his comeuppance in a long time. This is great."
Xia Shizhao looked at her expression with some confusion: "Hmm?"
Ge Shiyi pouted and whispered in her ear:
"Let me tell you, this young genius has had a smooth life. Because of his status and ability, many people fawn over him. Sometimes he is very arbitrary and doesn't even realize it. In some ways, he is also very chauvinistic. He is so annoying."
"Huh? Is this something I can say?"
"I like you, so we should be able to become pretty good friends."
Ge Shiyi laughed heartily, revealing a set of bright white teeth and shallow dimples when she smiled.
He rested his chin on his hand and looked at her for a while. Under Ge Shiyi's increasingly unfocused gaze, Xia Shizhao chuckled and said, "I think you and a friend of mine would get along very well. You have similar personalities. I hope you can guide me for the next five years."
Upon receiving Xia Shizhao's affirmative answer, Ge Shiyi's heart finally calmed down. "Please give me your guidance!"
