A gentle breeze blew in September, carrying the lingering warmth of summer and the crispness of early autumn. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows at He Ruizhe's feet. He stood before the gates of his junior high school, a surge of barely suppressed excitement welling up within him.
He Ruizhe took a deep breath, taking in the atmosphere of the new environment. He adjusted the backpack on his shoulder, which his mother, Gu Yunxi, had carefully chosen. The backpack was filled with textbooks and stationery for the new semester, as well as his boundless hopes for the future.
He stepped into the campus, where a wide playground stretched out before him, surrounded by several teaching buildings. Ivy climbed the walls, adding a touch of historical weight to the school. On the playground, many students were already engaged in activities; some were playing basketball, others were chatting, and everyone's face radiated youthful energy.
He Ruizhe's eyes darted through the crowd, searching for potential new friends. He knew that here he would meet classmates from different elementary schools; they would learn and grow together, facing new challenges side by side.
He walked towards the teaching building and found his classroom according to the class assignment list. At the classroom door, some students who had arrived early were already introducing themselves to each other. He Ruizhe smiled and joined them, beginning the first exchange of the new semester.
The bell rang, and the students entered the classroom one after another, finding their seats. He Ruizhe sat by the window, from where he could see a corner of the campus. The sunlight shone on the desk, casting a warm golden glow on his mood.
The homeroom teacher walked into the classroom. She was an experienced middle-aged woman with a kind smile on her face. She looked around the classroom and then began her first speech of the new semester: "Students, welcome to junior high school. This is a brand new beginning and an important stage in your lives."
He Ruizhe listened attentively to the teacher's speech and secretly resolved to study hard in this new environment, not only to achieve excellent academic results, but also to develop his personal interests and social skills.
As classes began, He Ruizhe gradually adapted to the pace of junior high school. His math and science classes particularly captivated him; each time he solved a difficult problem, he felt a great sense of accomplishment.

The club's instructor, a seasoned culinary expert, told He Ruizhe, "He Ruizhe, your basic skills are very solid, and I can see that you have great potential in cooking. I suggest you try some new recipes and challenge yourself."
He Ruizhe took his teacher's advice seriously and began to try making some more creative dishes. He incorporated his imagination and unique understanding of ingredients into his cooking, creating a series of delicious dishes that were excellent in color, aroma, and taste.
Through the club's activities, He Ruizhe not only improved his cooking skills but also made a group of friends who share his passion for cooking. They discussed recipes, shared cooking tips, learned from each other, and progressed together.
