Chapter 19: The New Classmate is Weird
"Let me introduce you to a new student in our class, who transferred from Yingcai Primary School."
The whole class looked at the girl on the stage with curiosity. She kept her head down, with her hair hanging down in front of her forehead, hiding her face.
She was still wearing the school uniform with the words "Yingcai Primary School" written on it. The uniform was very large, and the sleeves and trouser legs were much longer, giving her a bloated feeling. It was not a size that suited a girl's figure at all.
"As for this classmate's name, I believe that students who are striving for progress have already heard of it... Yu Yu."
When Teacher Zhu said the girl's name, there was a commotion below the podium.
"Who is it? Do you know?"
"I don't know."
"Is it the No.1 talent?"
"Bang, bang, bang." Zhu Ziqian knocked heavily on the podium with her fingers. "I just taught you a lesson, but you still don't remember it, do you?"
The classroom became silent again.
"What about classmate Yu Yu? He always gets first place in our joint exams of 100 schools. You say they only have two eyes and one nose, so why does he always get first place?"
Xu Cheng was also surprised when he heard this and looked at the girl on the stage a few more times.
It is not difficult to get the first place in the exam, but the difficult thing is to get the first place every time. This is definitely not something that ordinary people can do. Even Xu Cheng, who has been reborn, cannot guarantee that he can reach such a level.
This is a real academic master.
"You should learn more from Yu Yu and see how he teaches in class."
"Did you hear that, Jiang Yulu? Your mom comes to me every day and asks me to arrange for you to sit in the front. Is it unfair for you to sit in the back? I see that Lin Wanzhou's grades didn't fall behind even though he sat in the back. It's better to work harder on the key points."
There was nothing wrong with what Zhu Ziqian said, but Xu Cheng felt that the timing of her statement was ill- considered . After taking Yu Yu as an example, she started criticizing other people, which was simply pushing this girl to the opposite side of everyone.
It's understandable. With more than 70 children in a class, it's impossible to take care of every aspect.
On the podium, Zhu Ziqian looked around and said, "Ah, there are no empty desks in the class now."
"It just so happens that Lin Wanzhou has asked for leave these days. Yu Yu, you can go sit in her seat first. I'll ask the Academic Affairs Office to move a table for you later."
The girl named Yu Yu nodded slightly. From the beginning, her eyes were always looking at the floor, never raised. Her mysterious face was hidden under the black hair on her forehead. Under the gaze of the whole class, she walked down from the podium and hurried to the empty seat.
She walked quietly, and the ugly dark green rubber shoes on her feet made no sound. When she passed by Xu Cheng, a familiar sweet fragrance hit his nose.
Xu Cheng helped the new classmate pull out Lin Wanzhou's stool and introduced himself in a low voice.
"Hello, my name is Xu Cheng."
Yu Yu looked at him with a red face, hugged her worn-out army green bag, and sat down beside him awkwardly.
Teacher Zhu grumbled a few more words on the podium, while Xu Cheng quietly observed Yu Yu beside him.
Perhaps she was not used to the new environment. Her two little hands seemed to have nowhere to put. She scratched the edge of the table, pinched the corners of her clothes, and finally she just tightly grasped the small bag in her arms, stared down at the empty table, and did not talk to Xu Cheng, her cheap deskmate.
Xu Cheng naturally didn't care too much, maybe she was just a quiet person, but she was not very satisfied with Teacher Zhu's seating arrangement.
After class, he turned sideways and decided to discuss it with the girl next to him.
"Uh...that Yu Yu..."
Yu Yu, whose name was called, stood up from his seat immediately, lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong, glanced to the side, not daring to look at Xu Cheng. His two hands were tightly clenched around the small bag , so tightly that his fingertips turned white.
It's like a small fish in deep water that is startled by a stone and wants to escape and swim away in panic.
Xu Cheng, who was about to say something, was frightened by her and looked at Yu Yu's face worriedly.
"Are...are you okay?"
Only then did he realize that beneath the girl's hair on her forehead, there was a pair of clear and beautiful peach blossom eyes, like a pool of clear spring flowing, with ripples of snow-white in the breeze. Although she always looked at people indifferently, there was an indescribable clarity in her eyes.
"What beautiful eyes." Xu Cheng sighed in his heart.
He coughed twice and explained softly to Yu Yu.
"I was wondering if Lin Wanzhou is willing to let others sit at her table. Why don't you sit in my seat and we can switch. She won't mind me anyway."
Xu Cheng tried his best to explain it clearly to avoid being misunderstood by Yu Yu.
Yu Yu nodded woodenly after listening to this, switched seats with Xu Cheng, and sat down carefully, his hand tightly clutching his army green bag the whole time, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch it away.
"Yu Yu, if there's no place to put it, just put it in my desk."
Yu Yu's body trembled visibly, and she obeyed, putting her small bag into the desk, then crossed her two little hands between her legs and pinched them.
Xu Cheng felt confused. Did he look like a bully? He seemed very scary in her eyes.
The contact between the two was limited to this. Yu Yu did not take the initiative to talk to Xu Cheng. At first, Xu Cheng thought she had some prejudice against him, but after observing her for a morning, Xu Cheng found that he was worrying too much. She just ignored everyone.
In fact, many friendly girls came up to her and greeted her. Everyone was quite curious about this king of the joint entrance examination.
Xia Yue, the study committee member, was very cheerful. She stretched out her hand towards Yu Yu and said, "Hello, Yu Yu. My name is Xia Yue. Can I ask you any questions I have about my studies?"
Yu Yu, who was sitting opposite the table, just raised his forehead slightly, then immediately lowered it and nodded his head twice, shaking it at only a very slight angle.
Xia Yue's outstretched hand just hung in the air. Finally, she turned away angrily, whispering to the other girls, "You're just good at studying, why are you so arrogant?"
Just as Xu Cheng expected, there were many classmates who had resentment towards Yu Yu from the beginning. The class leader Jiang Yulu found Yu Yu in a bad mood.
"Yu Yu, our class has always been responsible for . Everyone in the class has taken turns to do it. This week, it will be handed over to you. Please make sure to complete it."
Yu Yu looked at Jiang Yulu blankly. The monitor, who was angry with the teacher, did not explain and just gave the order to complete the impossible task and left.
"She is bullying you." Xu Cheng took a sip of the AD calcium he took out from Lin Wanzhou's desk. "That blackboard newspaper was made by a group of four. How can one person finish it? Go and tell the teacher."
After hearing this, Yu Yu's eyes dimmed a little. Xu Cheng, who was watching from the side, could only think of the word "pitiful" to describe her.
In fact, such a classmate will not , because everyone will soon forget her existence.
Yu Yu’s presence was too low, and Xu Cheng was only reminded by the mellow sweet fragrance that occasionally wafted to his nose that there was a “new classmate” sitting next to him.
…
At Xu Cheng's home.
Today's dinner is very sumptuous, with cola chicken wings, braised beef in soy sauce, and two small vegetarian dishes packed from the neighborhood.
In the past, the idea of eating at home was to eat more rice and noodles. A carbohydrate feast of shredded potatoes and rice as the staple food often appeared on Xu Cheng's table.
But ever since Xu Cheng used several nutrition books to educate , the main theme of their family's meals changed from high-carbohydrate foods to meat, eggs and milk.
After all, the conditions have improved and the food must keep up. With such nutritional supply, Xu Cheng's body is much stronger than when he was in elementary school in his previous life, and his height is increasing rapidly every day.
In his previous life, he was 1.78 meters tall. With such nourishment, I wonder if he can break through the 1.80 meter mark in this life.
"Son, how was your day at school today? Anything new?" Xu Jianghe picked up a piece of chicken wing with chopsticks and put it into Xu Cheng's bowl, asking with concern.
"That's it. As for something new... a new student transferred into our class today."
He Ying was surprised, "Transfer from another school?"
Xu Cheng agreed.
"Oh, to be able to transfer into Experimental Primary School... this is an unusual relationship... what does your family do?" He Ying became curious.
Xu Cheng concentrated on the chicken wings in the bowl and said vaguely, "I don't know. She didn't speak all day."
"He hasn't spoken a word for a whole day?" He Ying put down the bowl in surprise and guessed after a little thought, "He can't be a mute..."
