This humble Taoist priest wants to take the college entrance exam.

Chapter 244 Make sure you're sure before you stick it.
To minimize disruption to everyone, Class 5 only changes seats once every half semester.

Don't ask why the midterm exams were so long ago before the change of schedule. If you include the time for make-up classes during the winter break, it's already almost half a semester!
Except for a few students who were "separated", the vast majority of students' deskmates and those sitting in front of or behind them remained unchanged.

The seats were moved sideways, with the original first group moving to the second group, the second group moving to the third group, and so on. The fourth group then went around to the first group.

The desks and chairs all belong to specific individuals, and when changing seats, students have to move their desks and chairs along with them. For the students in the fourth group, this is a huge undertaking.

Chen Shi'an piled all his books in the center of the desk. Unlike other students who dragged the desk around, he stretched out his arms and lifted the heavy desk full of books up in one go.

"I rely on!!"

"Master Dao!! What kind of divine power is that?!"

"What's this, a robotic arm?!"

"It's okay, it's not heavy."

Chen Shi'an chuckled, picked up his desk, walked over from the podium, and carried it all the way to the first group.

He used to sit outside the aisle when he was in the fourth group, but now that he's moved to the first group, he sits against the wall.

After setting up his table, Chen Shi'an went back to the fourth group to get a chair.

Lin Mengqiu had also tidied her desk. She was carrying her schoolbag and pulling the heavy desk, the legs creaking against the floor. She now had more books than Chen Shi'an, and when she pulled the desk, she had to keep an eye on the tall stack of books from time to time, otherwise they would fall and she would have to clean them up again...

"Class monitor, could you get me a chair?"

As the girl was struggling to move the table, Chen Shi'an's hand landed on her desk.

As the closest deskmates in the class, changing seats together was like moving house. A couple of days ago, she helped Chen Shi'an move, and today Chen Shi'an helped her move her desk.

"it is good……"

If it were any other classmate offering help, the girl would definitely have declined, but Chen Shi'an was an exception.

She put down her table and picked up the two chairs instead.

Just like before, Chen Shi'an lifted her entire table and carried it away.

The classroom was in chaos, and Lin Mengqiu obediently followed behind him with two chairs.

Upon arriving at the first group, Chen Shi'an put her desk together with her own.

The first and fourth groups are on the left and right sides of the classroom, respectively. I'm used to seeing the blackboard from the fourth group, so this completely different angle feels a bit strange.

Lin Mengqiu also felt quite uncomfortable...

She had been sitting against the wall, as she usually liked to lean against the wall when relaxing. But now that the wall was gone, she sat on the side facing the aisle and immediately felt that her body on that side was empty and she felt very uncomfortable.

The students in front and behind remained the same, except that the student next to her had changed to Qiu Yufu. Qiu Yufu had originally sat in the same row as the first group, and now that she had moved over, the two class monitors were only separated by an aisle, making it much easier for them to communicate and work together.

"Class monitor, I have the registration form for the school anniversary performance here. I'll get it for you to see in a bit," Qiu Yufu said.

"It's alright, just leave it with you for now."

"Okay, sure. Class monitor, are you interested in signing up?"

Before Lin Mengqiu could reply, Chen Shi'an laughed and said, "Report, the class monitor will be performing a show with me."

"Really? Chen Shi'an, what kind of program are you and the class monitor going to sign up for?"

"Piano accompaniment."

"Piano! Do you play?"

"The squad leader fires."

"Class monitor, you're amazing! You can even play the piano!"

Lin Mengqiu: "..."

The girl blushed slightly and said nothing more.

"So, class monitor, what pieces will you be playing? You need to write down the details when you register."

"No rush, let me think about it some more."

"it is good."

The squad leader and deputy squad leader had just finished exchanging work information when Chen Shi'an asked Lin Mengqiu out of curiosity:
"Yeah, class monitor, what piece are you going to play?"

"...What songs can you sing?"

"It depends on what piece the class monitor wants to play. If it's a song, I can learn it."

"...No rush, think about it some more."

Chen Shi'an sat in his seat, leaning against the wall. He was a little unaccustomed to it at first, and felt that the space had become very cramped.

When I habitually look to the side, through the closed window, there are balconies and corridors outside. Classes have ended, and many students are passing by in the corridors.

Chen Shi'an opened the window, and the fresh air came in, making him feel much more comfortable immediately.

Seeing the girl sitting by the aisle looking rather uncomfortable, Chen Shi'an asked:
"Class monitor, would you like to switch seats with me?"

"...Aren't you going to sit inside?"

"It's too narrow, I'm not used to it, and it's inconvenient to get in and out."

"...You want to change?"

"Hmm, should we change the class monitor?"

"can."

Fearing that Chen Shi'an might change his mind, the class monitor readily agreed. That stinky Taoist priest really doesn't understand the benefits of leaning against a wall; it provides a great sense of security.

So the two of them stood up again and switched seats.

"Hey, Chen Shi'an, you switched seats with the class monitor?" Zheng Yining asked.

"Haha, Chen Shi'an, you're sitting behind me now," Xie Mengxuan said, turning her head with amusement.

Aren't you two going to switch seats?

"No way! It's more comfortable against the wall! Mengxuan has been enjoying herself for so long, it's my turn to enjoy myself!"

Chen Shi'an couldn't understand this feeling of exhilaration, but Lin Mengqiu did.

Sitting back down against the wall, the girl felt her tense nerves relax.

Unfortunately, the first group is adjacent to the outside corridor and balcony, unlike the fourth group which is more private and quiet.

The first thing Lin Mengqiu did after moving to a seat against the wall was to close the window that Chen Shi'an had just opened.

……

It was afternoon dismissal time, and Wen Zhixia came downstairs to find Chen Shi'an to have lunch.

As she passed the stairwell on the second floor, she heard a noisy commotion from Class 5, so the girl curiously went over to take a look.

He immediately spotted the Taoist priest who had just moved to the first seat through the corridor window. So he chuckled and came over, tapping on the window with his fingers.

[Da da da—]
Hearing a crisp knock on the window, Lin Mengqiu, who was sitting by the window, turned her head in confusion and saw that annoying face on the other side of the window. Her expression immediately turned serious.

She opened the window, and the two girls looked at each other.

"what?"

"It's not like I'm calling you."

"×!"

"Taoist priest! Taoist priest!"

Chen Shi'an was looking at the registration form for the arts festival with Qiu Yufu across the aisle when he heard the noise and turned around.

"Why did Little Cicada come over here?"

"I came over to check because your class was so noisy. Did you change your seats?"

"Yes. Have you changed it?"

"We changed it last week!"

"So fast."

"Have you finished changing? Go down for lunch!"

"Good good."

Chen Shi'an took the registration form with him and planned to check what categories and requirements were available at the cafeteria later.

Seeing that Wen Zhixia had come to the classroom to ask for a meal, Chen Shi'an also asked Lin Mengqiu, who was sandwiched between the two:

"Squad leader, would you like to go out for lunch together?"

The class monitor was unusually straightforward; he closed the book and stood up immediately: "Okay."

……

This is already the umpteenth time the three of them have eaten together.

The three of them no longer sit in a long row like before. Ever since they discovered that Wen Zhixia could still benefit even if she sat opposite the stinky Taoist priest, Lin Mengqiu's understanding of the annoying cicada head had been completely refreshed...

Who's so unreserved! They'll sneak in at any opportunity; it's impossible to guard against them!

To avoid seeing their legs shamelessly pressed together again, Lin Mengqiu was quick-witted and managed to sit down opposite Chen Shi'an first.

Wen Zhixia didn't mind, since it was just part of her daily routine anyway, and it was a rare occasion for her to sit next to the Taoist priest.

Lin Mengqiu, wanting to avoid seeing the problem, focused solely on eating.

In a place out of sight, she nervously, tentatively, and cautiously moved her legs under the table little by little to the opposite side...

Until her left leg touched Chen Shi'an's leg first.

Feeling the warm touch of their legs pressed together, Lin Mengqiu felt her heart skip a beat. Even though the dishes she ordered weren't spicy, her cheeks flushed uncontrollably.

In front of those annoying cicadas...

Like this with him...

"~~~"

He secretly glanced up at Chen Shi'an again, but the stinky Taoist priest seemed completely unfazed.

"×!"

Is there anything this annoying cicada hasn't tried yet?

What have you done to him?!

The thought of how annoying the cicadas were made Lin Mengqiu even bolder.

After pressing her left leg against the wall, she then pressed her right leg against it.

Only when she felt another warm, tight touch against her calf did she finally let out a soft sigh of relief...

"~~~"

and many more……

Something doesn't feel right with this leg?
Lin Mengqiu was startled and quickly looked down.

She should have kept quiet, because once she did look, she almost got so angry she died.

Sitting opposite Chen Shi'an, Wen Zhixia pressed her leg closer to him, and after a long time of trying, she finally managed to press the leg against Chen Shi'an's short legs!

When she looked up again, Wen Zhixia, who was sitting opposite her, was also staring at her blankly.

"...Lin Mengqiu, what are you doing?"

"×!"

Lin Mengqiu felt a tingling sensation in her calf, and goosebumps appeared on her skin. She quickly pulled her leg back, blushed, and lowered her head to eat, pretending that nothing had happened.

Wen Zhixia looked suspicious and leaned down to look under the table.

It wasn't until he caught a glimpse of Lin Mengqiu's other leg still pressed against Chen Shi'an's leg that he understood what was going on.

This ice cube spirit...!
Don't you have your own ideas? Why do you always copy me?!
"What are you doing..."

Chen Shi'an also looked down under the table.

The two girls' legs moved apart in a flash.

Keep cooking.

As always, it was mostly Wen Zhixia and Chen Shi'an who were talking.

"Taoist priest, did you mention the school anniversary performance during your class meeting just now?"

"Hmm, I was just about to ask you, is Xiao Zhi going to sign up for the show?"

"Hehe! I want to sign up! I want that souvenir and prize, it only happens once every ten years, it's a rare treat! But I haven't decided what to sign up for yet, Xiaoyan and the others said they invited me to perform in a campus skit!"

"Do you want to sign up for singing with me? You sing so well, we can sing together."

Hearing Chen Shi'an's invitation, Wen Zhixia's eyes lit up: "Really?! Taoist priest, you also want to sign up!"

"Yeah, I just made plans to sing with the class monitor. How about the three of us do a choral performance together?"

Seeing that Wen Zhixia and Lin Mengqiu wanted to sign up, Chen Shi'an took the opportunity to invite the two girls.

Unexpectedly, the two women glanced at each other, then simultaneously turned their heads away and said:
"No."

"..."
