Five students from the previous Class One and Three of Senior High School were assigned to the intensive class; Fang Shucheng, the class monitor, the deputy monitor Li Xin, and another was Zhuangyi.

At the beginning of the school, everyone was more reserved. Although the home room teacher had not come yet, they all sat in their seats and talked to the people around them in a low voice.

The former classmates naturally sat together.

Li Xin: “…”

Zhuangyi: “Isn’t there another student in our class? Wax wax? He hasn’t come yet?”

The class monitor nodded and looked around and suddenly, saw Li Xin with a solemn look dashing past the blackboard, his (the class monitor) eyes lit up: “Wax Wax! He’s here!”

Li Xin: “…”

It was also Li Xin’s bad luck that when the class monitor said this out loud, the classroom suddenly became quiet, so the sound of his voice was very clear.

The classmate nearby asked, “Weren’t you in the same class? Why do you call him wax?”

The monitor explained, “His name is Li Xin, equal to Xiao Xin, equal to Crayon Xiao Xin, equal to wax.”

(TN: Xiao is a term of endearment in Chinese -> Crayon Xiao Xin is referring to the anime Crayon Shin-chan -> Crayon means wax pencil)

“Oh~”

They all said in unison like they understood, and then looked at “wax wax”.

Li Xin came over with a cold face under everyone’s attention. Zhuangyi consciously gave up his seat and sat at the back.

Li Xin sat next to Fang Shucheng.

Seeing nothing occurring, the other students chatted again. After all, they just met at the beginning of school, and there were too many things to talk about, they should seize the time to say a few more words before the home room teacher comes.

When the monitor saw that Zhuangyi was sitting alone, he said to the deputy monitor, “I’ll take that seat to accompany Zhuangyi.”

The Deputy monitor accused him “neglecting your friends over your new love!”

The monitor bribed the Deputy monitor with a piece of chocolate. The Deputy monitor put it away and said seriously, “As your old monitor, it’s necessary to care about your classmates. Go quickly! I support you.”

The monitor stood up and went to Zhuangyi who hurriedly said, “No, I… I can sit by myself just fine.”

The monitor was sad: “Really?”

Zhuangyi explained modestly: “I… Well, I want to go over my summer homework alone and quietly.”

“Oh.” The monitor nodded and sat back down, trying to get back his chocolate from the deputy monitor. The Deputy monitor refused, and the two boys fought.

When Li Xin and Fang Shucheng turned their heads to look at Zhuangyi, and Zhuangyi was surprised. After thinking about it, he took out his summer homework and looked at it in an obvious way.

Fang Shucheng also took out his summer homework: “Let’s discuss it together. If some of the answers are wrong, we can correct each other.”

Li Xin nodded and agreed.

Zhuangyi: “…”

Fang Shucheng and Li Xin are unlike Zhuangyi, this shady good that depends on luck. They are both genuine brand goods and academic tyrants. Towards this kind of topic they both regard it as fun.

Zhuangyi didn’t want to discuss academics at the beginning of school term. Going over his summer homework was just an excuse for someone.

Zhuangyi was green with regret when he saw that he had to discuss his homework with two academic tyrants.

“Good morning.” Just when he was starting to feel depressed, someone came.

Zhuangyi looked up and saw Xie Jun putting down his schoolbag and sitting beside him purposefully.

Fang Shucheng: “…”

Li Xin: “…”

Xie Jun glanced at them indifferently, and they looked back at each other silently and turned back.

Somehow they felt that the pressure was too much ←_←

But Zhuangyi didn’t have time to talk to Xie Jun. Xie Jun had just sat down for a few seconds, when the home room teacher arrived.

The new home room teacher was a very young female teacher but looked very capable and intelligent.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to teach intensive classes at such a young age.

Soon, it turned out that the home room teacher’s style of work was really very handy. Firstly, she lined up the seats according to height. This put an end to Zhuangyi’s and Xie Jun’s short deskmate career.

Xie Jun was tall so he had to sit in the last row and Zhuangyi was in the third-to-last row. There are two vertical rows separating him from Xie Jun’s seat.

But the same table is Li Xin, who is also an acquaintance, so although the other are a little far away from him, but this was… also okay… Zhuangyi thought quietly on the table.

The first day of school was basically the introduction and arrangement of the new teacher, there is nothing to do with class. But during breaktime, some boys had to move books, while others had to stay in the classroom to clean with the girls.

Zhuangyi swept the floor and Xie Jun moved the books, so they had no chance to talk.

When school was over, the home room teacher asked Xie Jun to stay and help and Zhuangyi had to go back by bus.

Unexpectedly, on the first day of school, he had only heard one word from Xie Jun, “Good morning”

He hadn’t answered too.

Zhuangyi took out his mobile phone and turned it on. As soon as he connected to Wifi, he saw a lot of notifications on Wechat. He saw that the monitor had set up a group for the new class, and someone named 211 had added him.

When he saw that it was the new class group, he accepted the invite.

Since the other party didn’t change his name, he asked, “May I ask who you are?”

A string of ellipsis marks was sent.”…”

Zhuangyi: “?”

The other party: “…”

The next second came a voice message. “It’s me.”

The voice was low and magnetic, and very recognizable.

Xie Jun!

Zhuangyi jumped on the bed in excitement and rolled around, but after rolling around he didn’t know why he was so happy.

Xie Jun: “Have you gotten home yet?

Zhuangyi: “Um-huh.”

Xie Jun: “I didn’t have time to talk to you today.”

Zhuangyi hesitated for a moment, Xie Jun sent out again: “But in the next class, there will be other chances.”

Zhuangyi: “Uh huh!”

Xie Jun: “Can you only say these two words?”

Zhuangyi: “…”

Xie Jun: “…”

Zhuangyi asked, “Why are you called 211? Do you want to enter 211 University?

Xie Jun: “…”

Zhuangyi: “I think you can pass 985! [jia you!]

(TN: jia you is the Chinese v of fighting/ganbatte)

Xie Jun: “It’s not about 211.”

Zhuangyi: “So what’s the meaning? [broken laugh]

Xie Jun: “Think for yourself.”

(TN: project 211 and 985 are projects from the Chinese government to improve Chinese university to world class level)
