It was no wonder Huo Yuhao had only just learned what kind of teacher Zhou Yi was. Zhou Yi had paid special attention to him before, causing him to overlook some details.
Huo Yuhao muttered to himself, "Looks like I should think of a way to avoid this."
"What way to avoid it?" Wang Dong's sudden voice gave Huo Yuhao quite a fright.
Huo Yuhao instinctively backed away. "Are you trying to scare me to death?"
Watching Huo Yuhao retreat, Wang Dong said unhappily, "Coward."
Huo Yuhao suppressed his emotions. "You... forget it. I won't argue with you."
"I was thinking about our homeroom teacher, Zhou Yi. I heard from some upperclassmen that this teacher named Zhou Yi had dominated the promotion rankings for years."
Wang Dong asked doubtfully, "Isn't that a good thing?"
Huo Yuhao smiled faintly. "The reason Zhou Yi had remained at the top of the promotion rankings was mainly because she expelled the students she disliked who were at the bottom of the class, keeping only those who could smoothly enter the Inner Court. I also heard that Zhou Yi originally taught higher grades, but she was transferred to teach freshmen because she was too harsh last semester and got reported."
"Wait, Zhou Yi's a lunatic, isn't she?" Just hearing Huo Yuhao's final sentence was enough for Wang Dong to completely believe everything he had said before.
Wang Dong said with lingering fear, "If that's really the case, won't we have to suffer for more than three months?"
Huo Yuhao said, "I think we should observe her for a while first. If Zhou Yi doesn't make trouble for us on the first day of school because she was reported before and got assigned to teach freshmen, we'll stay in Class One. But if she still holds a grudge over what happened last semester, we'll find an excuse to transfer classes."
"I think that works. Let's observe her for a while first." Rather than opposing Huo Yuhao's suggestion, Wang Dong agreed with it.
After all, if he accidentally offended Zhou Yi someday in the future, she might target him and then expel him.
This was the first time Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong had reached an agreement.
The next two days were basically ordinary days.
Nothing major happened. Huo Yuhao had originally thought Du Weilun would bring Yan Shaozhe to find him during those two days, but even when the final day arrived, neither of them showed up.
This left Huo Yuhao unable to help but grow suspicious.
That's not right. Logically speaking, Yan Shaozhe should have come straight to find me that afternoon after I found Du Weilun.
Why was there still no movement even after the freshman registration period had ended?
Given Yan Shaozhe's concern for his sister, if he encountered Ultimate Ice, he should have received the news immediately and come looking for him at once.
Two days later.
Freshman registration was officially coming to an end. Today was also the day the freshmen officially began classes, met their first homeroom teacher, and got to know their classmates.
Huo Yuhao got up early. The first thing he did after getting up was wake Wang Dong as well.
Still not fully awake, Wang Dong rubbed his barely open eyes and said, "Why are you getting up so early?"
"Today's the first day of school. Don't forget our homeroom teacher's temperament."
"Oh, right, I almost forgot. Get dressed first, then wait outside for a while. Once I'm dressed, we'll go to the cafeteria together for breakfast, and then head to Class One." Before Huo Yuhao could arrange what came next, Wang Dong had already said it all.
Huo Yuhao looked at Wang Dong speechlessly. "I mean, we're both guys, and we're only eleven or twelve. Do we really need to be this particular about it?"
But Wang Dong ignored Huo Yuhao and merely urged him to hurry up and get dressed.
Huo Yuhao said to Wang Dong, "Can you go outside while I'm changing, then?"
Wang Dong replied righteously, "What a joke. Do you think I, Wang Dong, am that kind of person?"
It would have been fine if Huo Yuhao did not know Wang Dong was a girl; he could have simply turned a blind eye. But now that he knew Wang Dong was a girl, he felt somewhat embarrassed changing clothes in front of her.
"Hurry up already!" Wang Dong had already grown impatient from waiting.
With no other choice, Huo Yuhao lifted Wang Dong with one hand, opened the door with the other, and threw Wang Dong outside.
Wang Dong stood blankly outside the door, somewhat at a loss.
Wait, how did I end up outside?
Xiao Xiao came up to Wang Dong and asked, "Isn't this Wang Dong? Why are you standing at the door?"
Wang Dong rubbed his butt and answered, "That bastard Huo Yuhao threw me out."
Then she asked, "Why are you two here?"
Xue Ningbing rolled her eyes at Wang Dong. "You're so forgetful. Did you forget that when we split up last night, we said we'd have breakfast together this morning?"
For some reason, every time Xue Ningbing saw Wang Dong, she treated him as though she had met a rival.
He was obviously a boy. It was impossible for him to be a girl disguised as a boy, right? Impossible, absolutely impossible. What girl would be bored enough to disguise herself as a boy and sneak into the boys' dormitory?
Xue Ningbing immediately ruled out the correct answer.
"Why did you get here so quickly?" Huo Yuhao came out wearing the white formal uniform of a first-year student. He was somewhat surprised to see Xue Ningbing and Xiao Xiao.
Seeing that Huo Yuhao was even slower than her, Xue Ningbing said smugly, "Surprised? Didn't expect that, did you?"
Huo Yuhao said to Wang Dong, "Wang Dong, go get changed. Once you're ready, we can have breakfast and then go to the classroom."
"Got it, got it." Wang Dong shut the door and began changing clothes in the dormitory.
Xiao Xiao asked, "Why do you boys even avoid each other when changing clothes?"
Huo Yuhao answered bluntly, "It was Wang Dong's idea."
A few minutes later, Wang Dong came out wearing the school uniform.
Xue Ningbing said, "Since you're dressed, hurry up and go to the cafeteria for breakfast."
After Xue Ningbing said that, the four of them headed to the cafeteria for breakfast. At this hour, most students were eating breakfast, so the cafeteria was crowded, with first-year freshmen filling the place.
After finishing breakfast, they all headed neatly to their classroom.
Upon arriving at Class One, Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and Xue Ningbing found that nearly ten people had already arrived.
At Huo Yuhao's suggestion, they decided to stick together.
Thus, they chose seats right in the middle.
As for why they did not sit in the first one or two rows, it was simply because they did not want to.
Xue Ningbing sat with Huo Yuhao, while Wang Dong sat with Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao was quite satisfied with Huo Yuhao's seating arrangement, while Wang Dong did not particularly care.
