The homeroom teacher had already arranged the seating yesterday, so today they just had to find their desks and chairs when they entered the classroom.
Since the Ruanlin Family didn’t make any requests yesterday, Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi didn’t sit together but were separated.
Xiu Xi was seated with a girl who wore braids and had a runny nose.
And Jiaojiao was seated with a delicate-looking little boy.
There was even a group between the two of them!
From the moment Xiu Xi entered the classroom, his little face was stretched long. As soon as Jiaojiao sat down, he instantly grabbed the shoulder of the boy sitting next to her and yanked him up, pointed at his own seat, then flopped down in it with his butt.
The little boy was named Yuan Xiaodong, who was delicate and clean but had a fiery temper, quite unlike his appearance.
After being pulled away, Xiaodong was still a bit slow to react, and several of his little friends from all directions gathered around him.
"Big brother, this kid actually dared to pull you. Shall we take care of him?"
"Where did this wild brat come from? He’s got quite the nerve!"
"I bet he doesn’t know big brother’s reputation!"
While they were just a few little tykes, their language was laden with a worldly wise air, as if they were little street urchins.
Jiaojiao couldn’t help but laugh, the gloom she had harbored in her heart swept away instantly.
Seeing Jiaojiao laugh, several little boys were stunned for a moment, glancing at each other, puzzled and unable to make sense of their own words that had made her laugh like that.
"Chubby whitey, what are you laughing at?" Xiaodong, puzzled by her laughter, asked with widened eyes.
"..." Jiaojiao’s smile gradually vanished from her face.
Being called chubby was one thing, but a ’chubby whitey’!
She grimaced at Xiaodong, disclosing a row of pearly white teeth, "Brother Xiu, beat him up!"
The consequence of Jiaojiao’s words was that Xiu Xi took on six boys single-handedly, beating them all to the ground.
By the time the homeroom teacher came in carrying books, Xiu Xi had already swapped seats with Xiaodong, who was nursing his bruised face with a look of grievance.
Although he looked delicate, ever since starting school he had always been the Little Tyrant in class, with several followers behind him, thinking it would still be the same after moving up. But out of nowhere, a Chen Yaojin appeared, one man taking down six of them.
And that ’chubby whitey’, she was not someone to mess with either. Was it just because he had called her chubby? How could she hold such a grudge?
He touched the tooth in his mouth that was about to fall out, feeling utterly wronged.
The homeroom teacher stood at the doorway, first scanning the classroom to make sure no one was missing, then walked in and said, "It seems everyone is doing quite well, no one is late. It’s a good start to the first day of school and I hope everyone will maintain this."
Then she placed the books on the lectern and turned to write her name on the blackboard: Fu Juan.
"My surname is Fu, you can call me Ms. Fu..." She was halfway through her words when she suddenly paused, her doubtful gaze falling on Xiaodong, "What happened to your face, student?"
"Replying to the teacher, I bumped it on the desk. It’s just a bump!" Xiaodong glanced at Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi with a hint of sadness in his reply.
Upon hearing this, the other students burst into a collective laugh.
The homeroom teacher thought they were laughing at him for hurting himself and didn’t take it too seriously. She clapped her hand on the lectern and then advised, "Then you need to be more careful in the future, don’t hurt yourself."
