We ordinary people also need to fall in love.

"Hey Chicken Bro, what are you dressing up for?"

Yang Kun got up early in the morning, washed his hair, used facial cleanser, and changed into clean clothes.

Students return to school neat and clean on Sundays, but leave on Fridays looking disheveled.

Yang Kun didn't look at Zhao Feng; he said while combing his hair:

"Dress up? I'm representing No. 6 Middle School on this exchange trip to No. 1 Middle School. If the students from No. 1 and No. 3 Middle Schools see us No. 6 students looking listless and like wild men, wouldn't that damage the reputation of No. 6 Middle School?"

"It's alright, I'll take care of it," Wang Rui said.

"Prison King, don't make a move. Get some sleep first before you act."

Li Mubai didn't prepare much; he just carried a backpack containing a notebook and a pencil case.

When the boys arrived at the classroom, many of the girls were also wearing light makeup.

Li Mubai glanced at Xie Shu; she wasn't wearing makeup, but she was still prettier than many others who were.

At approximately 7:40, Wu Changguo entered the classroom with his hands behind his back.

"Everyone in each dormitory, check if everyone is here," he called out.

Li Mubai glanced around the classroom; all the boys were there.

It's actually quite easy to tell if everyone has arrived; just check if all the seats in the classroom are occupied.

"Who's sitting in that empty seat over there?" Wu Changguo frowned and pointed to an empty seat.

"It's Huang Lingling. She and Liu Xiao are still in the dormitory."

A series of hurried footsteps sounded, and two girls appeared breathlessly at the classroom door.

"Report."

"Don't you have any sense of time?" Wu Changguo criticized.

The two girls lowered their heads, embarrassed.

"Hurry up and go inside and sit down."

Huang Lingling and Liu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and quickly sat down in their seats.

"Xie Shu, Li Mubai, double-check if everyone is here."

Li Mubai and Xie Shu stood on the platform. Seeing that Xie Shu started counting from the right, he started from the left.

"Everyone's here, teacher," Xie Shuchao said to Wu Changguo.

"Hmm." Wu Changguo then looked at Li Mubai.

"Teacher Wu, all the students are here."

"Okay, you two will stand next to the line and maintain order in a bit."

Wu Changguo gave some instructions and then had the students of Class 3 line up and head to the back gate of the school.

Many students peeked out from their classrooms, looking on with envy.

I don't know what the school was thinking, only sending their third class to No. 1 Middle School.

Li Mubai saw on the school's confession wall that many students were already arguing fiercely about this matter, even accusing the school of favoritism and extending their hatred to Class 3 as well.

The cell phones of Class 3 were largely confiscated, so only a few people spoke out for Class 3.

You can rant online, but in real life, who wouldn't want to take their place?

Does the class monitor have the responsibility to uphold the class's honor? Li Mubai doesn't know yet.

"Don't get distracted." Xie Shu gently tugged at him to prevent him from bumping into the streetlight.

"OK, thanks."

Wu Changguo walked at the front of the group, while Li Mubai and Xie Shu walked at the back.

Upon arriving at the school's back gate, a school bus was already parked on the roadside, and Zhong Jianjun stood by the door with his hands behind his back.

"Is everyone here?" He looked at Wu Changguo.

"Xie Shu, Li Mubai," Wu Changguo called out.

He and Xie Shu walked forward, and for some reason, he felt that Zhong Jianjun had glanced at him twice.

"Count again, and when you get on the bus later, you'll all sit in the front," Wu Changguo said.

Schools and teachers are always extra cautious when taking students out of the school. The situation outside the school is different from inside the school. If something goes wrong, it will not only affect the school's reputation, but also cause them to lose their jobs.

After confirming that everyone was present, Zhong Jianjun said in his distinctive husky voice, "Get on the bus."

Li Mubai and Xie Shu were the last students to board the bus. The back of the bus was full, leaving only two seats side by side in the front. Xie Shu sat on the left by the window.

"Sit next to Xie Shu," Wu Changguo said to Li Mubai, who was standing in front, hesitating.

It seems that this is the only way.

He slowly sat down next to Xie Shu. Although he had been seated at the same table before, the seats on the bus were different from those in the Chinese painting classroom.

In the classroom, there was enough space between deskmates to allow one person to stand, but on the bus, the two of them were very close together. To his right, across the aisle, were Wu Changguo and Zhong Jianjun, making it a real dilemma.

The school bus started and gradually drove away from the school.

Li Mubai felt a poke in his left arm. He turned his head in confusion and saw Xie Shu quietly looking out the window.

Ok?

He shifted his gaze back to the road ahead.

Not long after, noticing that the person next to him was looking at him, he turned his head and asked:

"What's wrong, class monitor?"

"Did you just poke me?"

Ok?

Li Mubai leaned out and looked back. Chen Qiuhe, sitting in the back, was pretending to chat with Deng Yi.

"It's Chen Qiuhe," he said, shrinking back.

"it is good."

Xie Shu nodded, and the two sat down as if nothing had happened.

Li Mubai felt a poke in his left arm again, and this time Xie Shu grabbed the finger directly.

"Ahem." The person sitting behind Li Mubai coughed lightly.

Li Mubai looked down and saw Chen Qiuhe's hand stuffed into the gap between the two seats. Her index finger was grabbed by Xie Shu, who pulled it slightly and the grabbed finger disappeared instantly.

Li Mubai turned around, and Chen Qiuhe gave him a giggle.

"We still have an hour to go," Xie Shu said.

"It's been quite a long time."

"Well, one is in Cuiping District in the southwest, and the other is in Zhongshan District, which is in the north of the city center," Xie Shu explained.

"Class monitor, you're really good at geography."

If it were Li Mubai, he probably wouldn't even know the location of the two districts in Pingyang City.

Xie Shu gave a soft "hmm" and didn't say anything. Seeing this, Li Mubai also didn't speak.

Zhong Jianjun and Wu Changguo, who were standing nearby, were still talking about school matters.

Li Mubai stared straight ahead, his eyelids growing heavy without him even realizing it.

When he opened his eyes again, a strand of hair was hanging on his left shoulder, and Li Mubai stiffly tilted his head slightly.

Xie Shu had also fallen asleep. She leaned back in her chair, her head tilted slightly inward, and strands of hair from her temples fell onto Li Mubai's shoulder.

……

The car stopped, and he gently nudged Xie Shu.

"Squad leader, we've arrived."

The person next to him looked up and rubbed their sleepy eyes.

"Get off the bus and line up," Wu Changguo said, standing up.

The school bus stopped directly inside the No. 1 Middle School campus. After Li Mubai got off the bus, he looked back and saw the magnificent school gate behind him, and in front of him were rows of buildings.

"How impressive!" he thought to himself.

Zhong Jianjun and Wu Changguo walked at the front of the group, while Li Mubai and Xie Shu remained at the back.

Along the way, Yang Kun, who was standing at the front, kept saying "Damn it!"

Upon entering the stairwell of the teaching building, the walls are adorned with introductions of famous figures from various fields who graduated from the school.

There is a lecture hall on the fifth floor, which is where we will be exchanging ideas and learning today.

The space is small, but very clean. The tables and chairs are clean and brand new, the desktop is wide, and there are hidden cup and pen holders along the edges.

In front of us was a frameless electronic blackboard with clear image quality, displaying the theme of the event: Working Together to Forge Ahead – A Lecture on Learning Experience Exchange among Three Schools.

One side of the classroom was already filled with students from the two top liberal arts classes of the school, who all turned around to look at the students with curiosity.

Zhong Jianjun and Wu Changguo invited the students to sit down in the front row on the other side.

A few minutes later, the students from No. 3 Middle School arrived and sat behind No. 6 Middle School.

Li Mubai sat by the aisle, with five boys to his left, and Xie Shu, Deng Yi, and Chen Qiuhe sitting in front of him.

He looked around curiously at his new surroundings.

Suddenly, a gaze flew over from one of the seats at No. 1 High School...

Good morning, teachers and students!

"I am Principal XXX of No. 1 Middle School. On behalf of No. 1 Middle School, I warmly welcome Pingyang No. 3 Middle School and Pingyang No. 6 Middle School to participate in this learning and exchange activity!"
