In half an incense stick’s time, Little Fatty’s blank notebook was filled with strange little animals.
Where others couldn’t see, Chu Bingyan glanced towards the Crown Prince’s seat, seeing him lightly asleep with his head supported by one hand; a complex expression flashed across her face, disappearing as soon as she looked up.
Uncatchable.
After a short while, Liu Qingxi in a red dress returned to her seat in Xianglan Pavilion, taking out her notebook and sitting down to practice calligraphy.
A lot of people glanced at that seat, wanting to but pretending not to~
The girl in red knew it but didn’t show it, just continued doing her own thing.
She, Liu Qingxi, wherever she went, always attracted attention. She didn’t care about others, but the Crown Prince’s gaze was something she must capture.
Her small lips curved lightly, her back straightened even further, striving to perfect every move~
For her first day’s performance at school, she was very satisfied.
Chu Bingyan looked at her and showed a face of disdain.
After the scholars fiddled around for a while, they heard the ringing of "dong dong dong."
This was the call to go have lunch.
Actively tidying up, heading towards the direction of the dining halls~
Ye Zhi from Yulan Hall, upon hearing the chime for lunch, grabbed Huanhuan, then Qinglian, and the three little ones went hand in hand, dashing towards the dining hall.
Good friends, walking together.
Huanhuan and Qinglian also got along, adding Ye Zhi, not minding Ji Changzhou, letting him stroll with Chen Chen and others.
The dining hall closest to Lingxiang Courtyard was Shishang Residence.
Today was the first day for new students. Being unfamiliar with the route, they arrived late, and the senior sisters and brothers from the Imperial College were already early in line, stretching four or five meters ahead.
Lively bustling, quite the hubbub.
The queue stretched out of the doorway, where garden trees shaded, protecting from sunlight.
During the wait, scholars engaged in conversation, making the line move especially quickly.
Tan Huanhuan looked at these people queuing, tugging a friend with a sour face: "Ah, we have to wait in line for so long. Will all the delicious dishes be gone by the time we get there? The seniors move so fast; we should come early next time, or we might not find seats."
Ye Zhi patted her back, about to offer comfort, when a call came from behind~
"Ah Zhi, Ah Zhi."
It was her brother.
Ye Lin, face full of smiles, joyfully waved to her: Come quickly, come quickly.
"Brother." Ye Zhi replied delightedly, pulling Huanhuan and Qinglian over.
While walking she introduced: "This is my brother, Ye Lin. He’s also studying at the Imperial College, so he’s like our senior brother."
The young girl beamed, in high spirits.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, her brother went to the bookstore. During her entrance exams at the Imperial College, she hadn’t seen him, but now they met here.
Ye Lin, handsome and graceful, wore a proud face: "I heard you were at Lingxiang Courtyard, and Shishang Residence is the closest to you, so I waited here hoping to catch you. Smart, right?"
"Yes, yes, smart indeed." Ye Zhi didn’t want to argue with him: "So where will we sit?"
"My classmate saved us spots; we can go eat after getting the meals."
Ye Zhi: "..."
Still had to obediently queue.
Next, Ye Zhi introduced her little friends, Huanhuan and Little Fairy, to her brother.
Though the line was long, it moved fairly quickly; soon the four had their meals served~
Ye Lin skillfully led them inside.
His classmate was a gentle young man, silently sitting and waiting.
"Sun Xuan, I’ve brought my sister and her friends."
Ye Lin, carrying the food, arrived with his voice reaching before he did.
