In the classroom of Class 5, Grade 11, after arranging seats for the new students, Zhang Zhidong gave a summary and outlook speech.
He then began to arrange the next steps:
"There are two things to do this morning: first, everyone hand in their summer homework and I'll check how well it's been done; second, we'll collect our new textbooks for the new semester."
" Xia Yunuo, you collect the summer homework. Then, Ma Xianmin, go to the school warehouse to move the new books and ask a few classmates to come along."
It's reasonable for Xia Yunuo, as the class's academic representative, to be responsible for collecting homework.
Xu Zhuoyue, sitting in the back seat, suddenly realized this and quickly and discreetly reached out to poke Song Yunshen in the back.
Song Yunshen leaned back slightly, his whole body resting against the back of the chair, and pricked up his ears.
Seeing Xu Zhuoyue quickly leaned forward and whispered, "Brother, Brother Shen, please help me."
"What do you mean?" Song Yunshen suppressed a laugh and asked softly, covering his mouth.
" Xia Yunuo is in charge of collecting homework, so don't collect mine. Just tell the teacher you've collected them all. Lao Bao definitely won't count them again himself," Xu Zhuoyue whispered furtively.
"You're dreaming," Song Yunshen his eyes. "What if Lao Bao counted them himself?" Loading... This was truly the first time he'd ever seen Xia Yunuo blush like this.
Back in Class 16, Xia Yunuo always had that aloof demeanor, keeping strangers at bay. The love letter I gave her was returned unopened.
How come you blush so easily now?
That's really strange.
How could things have turned out like this in just six months?
Could it all be because of the boy sitting next to her?
Cao Shuhan couldn't help but feel a little depressed when he thought about this.
If he had known that Xia Yunuo had already been taken, he wouldn't have bothered to transfer to Class 5.
Now that I'm in Class 5, I have to watch other couples showing off their love. Won't that just negatively impact my studies even more?
However, he felt it was too early to make such a conclusion; what if there was still a chance?
We still need to find out more about the situation.
Thinking this, Cao Shuhan's eyes swept around and then locked onto Zhong Long, who was diagonally in front of him.
The current chapter is incomplete! To view the complete chapter, please exit reading mode! Loading... Mainly, Jiang Wenpei too easy to talk to. If it really came down to writing fewer subjects, everyone would choose English first.
In contrast, the completion rate for the math summer homework was quite high; only three students in the whole class didn't finish it, which shows how intimidating Song Minggui.
Xia Yunuo asked the class representatives to count all the homework assignments collected and then write down the names of the students who hadn't handed in theirs.
After collecting all the names, Xia Yunuo rewrote the list, deliberately omitting Xu Zhuoyue's name, and then pasted the list on top of the pile of assignments.
After doing this, Xia Yunuo's heart was racing.
After all, this was the first time she had done something wrong at school, and she felt like she had been bribed.
I didn't take anything.
It's only because Xu Zhuoyue is a friend... well... because he's Song Yunshen's friend...
In short, it's definitely not because he called her "sister-in-law"!
When Xia Yunuo thought of this, she subconsciously dug her toes into the ground, feeling incredibly embarrassed.
She instructed the class representatives to deliver the homework to the teacher's office. After completing the task, Xia Yunuo returned to her seat and gave Xu Zhuoyue a thumbs-up.
Xu Zhuoyue breathed a sigh of relief and repeatedly clasped his hands in thanks, almost kneeling down to kowtow. Seeing his fawning manner, Song Yunshen immediately curled his lip. "You're bribing your superiors, but you don't even know how to offer something good, just empty words?"
"You're just being nosy," Xu Zhuoyue said irritably. "Then Xia Yunuo's lunch today is on me!"
"Is it your turn?" Song Yunshen chuckled. "You can treat me."
Xu Zhuoyue: "?"
"Hmm... why don't you invite him?" Xia Yunuo nodded slightly in agreement.
Xu Zhuoyue: "???"
Okay, okay, so you two are going to be so harmonious, husband and wife?
Xu Zhuoyue was speechless, but then he thought that Xia Yunuo was willing to help him because of Song Yunshen, so it wouldn't hurt for him to treat Song Yunshen to a meal...
I'm just so unhappy no matter how I think about it.
"Okay, lunch's on me." Xu Zhuoyue gritted his teeth, "You'd better not choke on your food."
"No need for you to worry about that." Song Yunshen chuckled. Earning a free meal right at the start of the semester was truly a good omen.
At 10 a. m., class monitor Ma Xianmin began to call on the students. Song Yunshen and Xia Yunuo were both called on to go to the school warehouse to move the new books. This was not Ma Xianmin's intention; it was just that very few people had actually finished their summer homework, and there were only about five or six people with time to move the new books.
Don't believe what Zhang Zhidong just said, that if you finish your summer homework, you don't have to attend evening self-study sessions and can even participate in club activities.
But in reality, only five or six people in the whole class can truly skip evening self-study. When the vast majority of the class is studying in the classroom, who would have the nerve to actually go out?
However, even if someone actually does that, it doesn't matter to the school and teachers; they can just consider it a reward for doing their summer homework diligently.
"Cousin!"
As soon as Song Yunshen stepped out of the classroom, he felt a tap on his shoulder.
Wei Zhile peeked out from behind and greeted him with a grin, "Let's have lunch together later, I'll invite Yu'an too."
"Okay, let's go together then." Song Yunshen nodded. "I'll also invite a few close classmates so we can get to know each other at lunchtime."
"Okay." Wei Zhile replied, then curiously peeked at Xia Yunuo next to her, waving at her, "You're my cousin's deskmate, right? I'm Wei Zhile, what's yours?"
" Xia Yunuo." When facing strangers, Xia Yunuo reverted to her aloof demeanor.
Or rather, it couldn't be called aloofness; it's just that to outsiders, her attitude did seem a bit cold. But this was merely a spontaneous defense mechanism that Xia Yunuo developed when she didn't know how to deal with strangers.
Wei Zhile glanced at Xia Yunuo, then at Song Yunshen, noticing the arm's length distance between them as they walked together. She chuckled and secretly asked Song Yunshen, "Cousin, your relationship seems a bit unusual." "If you're free, carry some more later," Song Yunshen.
"Well, this is boring." Wei Zhile pouted, ignored the two of them, and ran forward to chat with class monitor Ma Xianmin. They quickly became acquainted.
Seeing this, Xia Yunuo felt a pang of envy and whispered to Song Yunshen, "Your cousin is so lively!"
"She has a good personality and a sweet tongue; everyone likes her. She's a real networking queen," Song Yunshen said with a smile. "This girl knows all our relatives by heart. During the New Year, she called them over one by one. And she didn't just remember their names; she knows everyone's personality and what they do perfectly. She's very popular at home."
For Xia Yunuo, getting to know all her relatives was not difficult at all.
But she knew that Song Yunshen's family genealogy was quite large; his grandfather's generation alone had eight younger brothers and sisters.
The nine siblings each married and had children, spreading their lineage far and wide. By the time of Song Yunshen, he was already the third generation.
Grandpa Song Yunshen had only three children, which was considered a small number for his generation.
For example, Song Yunshen's sixth grandfather had 13 children, and Song Yunshen still doesn't understand the relationship between these 13 cousins.
In many cases, he couldn't even remember which cousin was which grandfather's child.
After all, they would only see each other once a year during the Spring Festival. Song Yunshen could only recognize some relatives who were close to Song Mingyuan. For others with whom he had a more casual relationship, he was lucky if he could recognize their faces.
For example, Wei Zhile's family has a good relationship with Song Yunshen's family. A couple of years ago, Wei Zhile's family's clothing company experienced a sharp decline in performance. It was only thanks to Song Mingyuan's foreign trade company opening up overseas channels that Wei Zhile's family's clothing company was able to revive.
As for Song Yu'an, there was no one in the Song family who had a bad relationship with them.
After all, my great-uncle was once the vice president of the city hospital and is still the director of the neurology department. He has a wide network of connections in the medical field in Linhang City.
In addition, there are his two sons, one specializing in medical devices and the other specializing in new drug development.
Whenever someone in the family falls seriously ill, as long as they go to their great-uncle, he can usually arrange for them to access the best medical resources in Linhang City.
"I feel like we still don't have enough people." After leading everyone to the warehouse, Ma Xianmin glanced at the books they needed to move and immediately felt a headache coming on. "I should have called a few more people. Let's move one load first, and then go back and call a few more."
Seeing this, Wei Zhile's eyes lit up. He then jogged over to the warehouse manager, exchanged a few words, and happily dragged a small cart over. "Squad leader! This should be fine, right?"
Ma Xianmin's eyes lit up, and she immediately became happy. "Wow, Lele, that saves a lot of trouble!"
The group loaded the new books onto a small cart, dragged it all the way to the stairwell of the second-year high school building, and then carried it up to the second floor.
While Song Yunshen was carrying books upstairs, Wei Zhi Le quietly approached Xia Yunuo and helped her carry a stack of books upstairs, walking side by side with her.
Xia Yunuo, when is your birthday?
Suddenly asked about her birthday, Xia Yunuo was clearly taken aback, then said, "January 10th, why?" "My birthday is in November, so I'm a tiny bit older than you," Wei Zhile blinked. "Then can I call you Xiao Nuo? You can just call me Lele."
"Y-yes, sure..." Xia Yunuo didn't expect Wei Zhile to be so outgoing. They had only chatted for a few words, and he had already called out to Xiao Nuo.
But when Xia Yunuo thought that the other party was Song Yunshen's relative, she was not so resistant, but rather secretly happy.
She had been worried about how to get along with Song Yunshen's relatives, but now it seems that getting along with them is quite easy.
"Were Xiao Nuo and my cousin classmates before?" Wei Zhile asked curiously.
"No," Xia Yunuo shook her head gently, then explained softly, "It's because I'm not very good at math, but my English is okay. Yunshen isn't very good at English, but he's exceptionally good at math, so we decided to be deskmates so we can learn from each other and improve."
"Oh, oh, let's make progress together, that's great, that's great." Wei Zhile suddenly realized, nodding repeatedly, almost unable to suppress the smile on his lips.
Oh my god... You've already mentioned Yunshen, and you're still arguing with her?
Wei Zhile's face tightened, feeling as if he had discovered some incredible secret.
"What are you two whispering about?" Song Yunshen had just finished delivering a batch of books and came to the entrance of the building when he saw Wei Zhi Le approaching Xia Yunuo. He couldn't help but frown and ask.
"Just chatting." Wei Zhile walked past Song Yunshen with a grin, leaving Xia Yunuo to him.
Song Yunshen ignored him and looked at Xia Yunuo, who had come up to him. He took the book from her hand and asked, "She didn't bully you, did she?" "No, no, Lele is a very nice person," Xia Yunuo quickly shook her head and said.
Song Yunshen carried the books into the classroom, placed them on the podium, and said to Xia Yunuo, "Then you can go back to your seat first. I'll go down and get the rest. That should be enough."
"No need, I'll go with you." Xia Yunuo didn't want to go back to her seat alone, so she followed Song Yunshen downstairs. "It'll be easier if we go together."
After moving the new books, Xia Yunuo, as the class's academic representative, helped class monitor Ma Xianmin distribute them. Song Yunshen then returned to his seat.
The students in the front row passed the new books down. Song Yunshen took one for himself, Xia Yunuo one for herself, and then passed them on to Xu Zhuoyue and Zhong Long.
When Xia Yunuo returned to her seat, Song Yunshen had already helped her pack up her new book.
After receiving the new books, I continued studying for the rest of the time.
The classroom was filled with the sounds of other students frantically writing down their homework.
According to Xia Yunuo's original plan, since she didn't need to make up her homework, she could use the extra time to flip through the new books and preview them in advance.
But when Song Yunshen handed her a draft notebook with squares drawn on it, Xia Yunuo hesitated.
"This is to train your mathematical thinking," Song Yunshen said seriously. "My math grades are so good thanks to playing Gomoku (Five in a Row). You'll know once you've played it."
Xia Yunuo certainly didn't believe his nonsense, but she still picked up a pen and drew a circle on a square.
