Inside the villa.

JoJo sat on the sofa in the living room, her gaze occasionally drifting towards the stairwell, where Lin Tian was slowly making his way down.

"Xiao Tian, ​​hurry up."

JoJo stood up. "I need to take you to school to complete your enrollment procedures today. We can't delay."

Lin Tian stepped forward, looking reluctant: "Sister JoJo, can we go next semester?"

"no."

JoJo walked over and took his hand. "I'll take you to a new class today so you can get familiar with the environment."

She rarely showed her boss-like demeanor, and her authority was unquestionable.

Lin Tian was pulled down the stairs, changed his shoes, and then pulled out the door.

The housekeeper stood at the door, smiling and waving: "Young master, study hard!"

Lin Tian glanced back at her, then looked upstairs where Tangtang was still taking a nap.

In the car, JoJo sat in the driver's seat, and Lin Tian sat in the passenger seat.

The car started, drove out of the villa, and headed down the mountain road.

The street scene of Hong Kong flashed past the window: skyscrapers, neon signs, and crowds of people coming and going.

"Sister JoJo, can I not go?" Lin Tian tried to struggle again.

"cannot."

JoJo glanced at him, her tone firm, "You're eight years old already, you should be in school a long time ago. If you keep putting it off, you'll fall behind."

Lin Tian leaned back in his seat, looked out the window, and sighed inwardly.

In my past life, I went to university; in this life, I'm in elementary school.

What kind of mess is this?

La Salle Primary School is in Kowloon.

JoJo parked the car and led Lin Tian into the school gate.

The principal's office was on the second floor; the door was open, and the principal was already waiting.

The principal's surname was Chen. She was a woman in her fifties, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a cheongsam, and she looked very kind.

When she saw JoJo, she greeted her with a smile: "JoJo, long time no see."

"Hello, Principal Chen."

JoJo smiled and shook hands with her, "This is the Lin Tian I told you about."

Principal Chen looked down at Lin Tian, ​​sized him up, and nodded: "Not bad, you look very energetic. Come on, let's get the formalities done."

JoJo took a stack of documents out of her bag and handed them to Principal Chen.

Principal Chen flipped through the document, asked a few more questions, and then sent someone to process the enrollment procedures.

Lin Tian stood aside, dumbfounded.

Is this over?

No exam required?

No testing required?

We don't need to look at the grades?

He thought he would have to take a test first to see the score.

"Okay, the formalities are complete."

Principal Chen smiled and said, "Lin Tian, ​​you go to Class 2, Grade 1. Your homeroom teacher's surname is Zhang. She's a very gentle teacher. You and JoJo go to the classroom first."

Lin Tian nodded and followed JoJo out of the principal's office.

JoJo looked at him and smiled, "What? You're not resisting anymore?"

Lin Tian shook his head.

"Since we're here, let's make the best of it."

JoJo paused for a moment, then laughed: "You're quite the smooth talker."

Class 2 of Grade 1 is on the first floor, at the end of the corridor.

The door was open, and the sound of a teacher lecturing could be heard from inside.

JoJo led Lin Tian to the door and knocked.

"JoJo?"

When Teacher Zhang saw JoJo, she paused for a moment, then immediately came out of the classroom and asked, "What brings you here?"

JoJo smiled and hugged her; the two clearly knew each other.

"Long time no see. This is my younger brother, Lin Tian, ​​who's transferring to our class today. Principal Chen has already made the arrangements."

Teacher Zhang looked down at Lin Tian, ​​squatted down to look him in the eye, and said, "Hello, Lin Tian, ​​I'm Teacher Zhang. Welcome to Class 2, Grade 1."

Lin Tian looked at her and nodded politely, "Hello, Teacher Zhang."

Teacher Zhang stood up and said to JoJo, "Don't worry, I'll take care of him."

JoJo nodded and straightened Lin Tian's collar: "Xiao Tian, ​​focus on your studies. I'll pick you up after school."

"it is good."

Lin Tian said helplessly, but in his heart he was thinking of putting a mushroom egg in Xiao Rizi's pocket, since he heard that they were quite lively.

JoJo stood up, kissed his forehead, and turned to leave.

Lin Tian watched her figure disappear at the end of the corridor, then turned his gaze away and followed Teacher Zhang into the classroom.

There were more than thirty students sitting in the classroom, all wearing the same school uniform: white shirts and blue pants or blue skirts.

When they saw Teacher Zhang bring in a strange student, they all looked up curiously and whispered among themselves.

"Quiet."

Teacher Zhang clapped her hands, and the classroom immediately quieted down.

"Classmates, we have a new student joining our class today. His name is Lin Tian, ​​and from today onwards, he is a member of our class. Let's welcome him!"

Applause erupted in the classroom.

Teacher Zhang looked at Lin Tian: "Lin Tian, ​​come here and introduce yourself."

Lin Tian walked up to the podium, looked at the curious gazes below, and said generously, "Hello everyone, my name is Lin Tian, ​​I'm from the mainland, please take care of me in the future."

The classroom erupted in whispers.

From mainland China?

A country bumpkin?

Mainland boy?

Lin Tian heard it, but didn't care.

An eight-year-old body houses the soul of an adult.

He couldn't be bothered to pay attention to what the children said.

Teacher Zhang frowned and clapped her hands: "Quiet. Lin Tian, ​​sit down..."

She glanced around the classroom, her gaze settling on the only empty seat by the window in the last row. "Sit there."

Lin Tian nodded, not caring about these things.

He preferred this place, the king's hometown.

Lin Tian's deskmate was a chubby boy who secretly glanced at him and whispered, "Hello, my name is Zhu Bao."

Lin Tian nodded: "Hello."

Zhu Bao took a piece of chocolate out of her schoolbag and handed it to him: "Here, have this."

Lin Tian paused for a moment, then took the chocolate: "Thank you."

Zhu Bao grinned, revealing his two front teeth.

The girl in front of him turned her head, glanced at Lin Tian, ​​and then turned back, her eyes filled with curiosity.

Teacher Zhang began the lesson.

She was talking about math, simple addition and subtraction.

Lin Tian listened, finding it utterly boring.

He leaned back in his chair, looking out the window.

I think of Beijing, the dead, the burned-down houses, and the enemy agents.

Those things seem like they happened a long time ago.

But he knew that only a few days had passed.

Animals deserve to die!

A smile slowly crept onto his lips without his noticing.

"Lin Tian," Teacher Zhang suddenly called him, "how do you do this problem?"

Lin Tian stood up and glanced at the question on the blackboard.

What is three plus five?

He found it amusing, but still answered honestly, "Eight."

Teacher Zhang nodded: "Sit down. Good."

Lin Tian sat down and continued looking out the window.

Zhu Bao kicked his stool again and asked in a low voice, "Where on the mainland are you from?"

"The Forbidden City".

"The capital city of Beijing?"

Zhu Bao blinked. "What place is that?"

"It's the capital city."

"capital?"

Zhu Bao's eyes lit up.

"I know, there's Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and the Great Wall. My dad has been there."
