Gu Zhihan, as usual, rode with Mengmeng into the school.
The fragrant camphor trees on both sides of the school were lush, and sunlight sprinkled through the gaps between the leaves, casting light on their blue and white school uniforms.
When they reached the parking lot, Luo Mengmeng, like a little rabbit, hopped off while saying, "Gu Zhihan, did you hear? We are not splitting classes this time, we can just go straight to Class 3-20’s classroom!"
"I know," Gu Zhihan nodded and went to park the bike after speaking.
Then he walked shoulder to shoulder with her toward the teaching building.
The little girl hopped and skipped along the way, her mouth nonstop like a machine gun looking for topics to talk about.
Gu Zhihan always smiled gently, indulgently, and tenderly.
His eyes were fixed on her face, watching her radiant smile, a feeling of inexpressible happiness surged in the depths of his heart.
Happiness can indeed be very simple.
"Here we are, Class 3-20 is right there!" When Luo Mengmeng saw the sign for the classroom, she immediately pulled Gu Zhihan and ran toward it.
"Slow down, the classroom isn’t going anywhere," Gu Zhihan followed reluctantly.
After they reached the classroom, he heard the girl’s high-pitched scream, "Ahhhh, Gu Zhihan, look at the back blackboard quickly!"
"What’s up?" Gu Zhihan, feeling helpless, dug his ears, thinking that his ears would soon be deafened by her screams.
Luo Mengmeng, excitedly shaking his arm, urged him to look, "On the back blackboard, there’s a photo bulletin board from our sophomore year!"
At that, Gu Zhihan immediately lifted his head and took a look.
In the unfamiliar classroom, the back blackboard had their sophomore year photos posted on it.
Seeing these familiar faces, the strange classroom instantly warmed up.
"Who did this?" Luo Mengmeng couldn’t help but ask in surprise.
Gu Zhihan shook his head, his expression also revealing a hint of puzzlement, "I don’t know."
Just then, the homeroom teacher walked in with a smile, "The bulletin board was something I took down from Class 2-20 a few days ago and reposted in our new Class 3-20. This board is of great significance to us; I couldn’t bring myself to throw it away, so I just copied it over."
"So that’s how it is."
Luo Mengmeng nodded in understanding and then pulled Gu Zhihan to find a place to sit behind Tong Mo.
"Did you notice, the homeroom teacher seems to have changed a lot?" Mengmeng had just sat down when Tong Mo couldn’t help but start a conversation.
"How has she changed?" Luo Mengmeng blinked in wonder before looking at the homeroom teacher again.
This look made her realize that the homeroom teacher was radiating a vigor she had never had before.
Her mouth often contained a smile now, no longer the stern, severe face she used to have.
Perhaps it was because of the aftermath of a disaster...
Luo Mengmeng thought.
Meanwhile, the homeroom teacher had already walked onto the podium, she looked at everyone with a smile and said, "Please look after each other this new term. We’ll keep the class officers the same as when we were in Class 2-20. If anyone has any objections, you can bring them up, and I’ll think about it. If not, the class president can take a few people to the administration office to collect the textbooks."
"Okay," Gu Zhihan nodded in agreement.
Luo Mengmeng volunteered eagerly, "I’ll go with you to carry the books later!"
"Don’t," Gu Zhihan rejected without even thinking.
