A Young Woman's Heart

“Lele…” Lu Bolun had already sat down inside.

"Hmph!" Wang Jiale turned her head away, her face flushed, and sat down as well.

"Cough... I never thought we'd be deskmates. Even though it's the first row, it's not bad."

"Humph."

It looks like Wang Jiale is angry, but it's actually a sign of a good relationship between the couple, which makes everyone else envious.

"Then in the second row, the one by the window is Sanhua Tongjue, and the one by the aisle is Huang Yuxi." Ye Wen patted Sanhua Tongjue, pointed to the seats, and communicated with her through gestures several times. The latter finally understood and sat down with a mixture of curiosity and shyness.

"Hello." Huang Yuxi smiled brightly and held up the whiteboard.

Hitomi could still read the Chinese characters. She was about to communicate in Japanese, but worried that the other person wouldn't understand, so she simply took a mechanical pencil and wrote on the table: "Hello, thank you. I can understand most of the Chinese characters."

"So communicating in Chinese is fine, right?"

"Thank you! You're such a thoughtful person!"

Actually, I can't speak.

"Huh?" Sanhua Tongjue was stunned.

"Ah...ah..." Huang Yuxi opened her mouth, explaining why with her actions.

"Oh...sorry..." she said softly in broken Chinese.

"It's okay, everyone's used to it already. It's perfect that we can both communicate by writing~"

"Uh-huh……"

Meanwhile, other students had already been assigned to seats in the back.

Mo Xueyao sat in the third row by the window, while Ai Xiuer sat by the aisle.

"Xiaoyao, please take care of her. This is Xiaoqing... Teacher Su from the medical office asked me to help arrange this." Ye Wen winked at her and earnestly instructed her.

“Okay…” Mo Xueyao nodded and gave her an awkward smile. “Hello, Ai Xiu’er, I’ve seen you several times while you were sleeping.”

"Hello~" Aishu smiled, and didn't seem like a difficult person to get along with.

Next, sitting behind Mo Xueyao was Li Wanyan, whose deskmate was Lu Chengyuan.

"You're the class monitor? That's not bad~" It seems Lu Chengyuan is quite satisfied with this position.

"Next up is Gao Yuan—"

"Is it my turn?" Gao Yuan asked excitedly.

"You and—Duanmu Ji, please sit down!"

"Damn it, wasn't it supposed to be a beautiful girl?!"

"We'll see how you behave. For now, just sit here!"

"Ah, my beautiful girl..."

"Gao Yuan, Gao Yuan, you can barely use Xiao Ji as a pretty girl, haha—" Mo Xueyao covered her mouth but still couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Isn't this gloating a bit too much?"

Next came the arrangements for the others. In the second group, Mo Zhuyou and Mo Xiaoxiao were in the first row, and surprisingly, Mr. Xue and Hua Yinyin became deskmates. What an unexpected combination...

……

Chapter Five: The Freshness of the New Semester

"Ah, Wanyan has moved behind me." The new semester and the new seat made Mo Xueyao feel very excited. She moved her chair back and leaned back, putting both elbows on Li Wanyan's desk. "Wanyan, Wanyan, this is much more convenient."

"Hmm." Li Wanyan helplessly pressed down on the desk to prevent Mo Xueyao from leaning against her and causing her to back away. "Yaoyao, I don't have a seat."

"Eh? Oh, oh..." Mo Xueyao chuckled awkwardly and quickly moved her chair forward.

After the new seats were assigned, the first class meeting also ended.

Mo Xueyao's deskmate is a new classmate named Ai Xiuer. She has dyed her hair back to pure black, which makes people feel a little unaccustomed to it.

"Aishue?"

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Ashley turned her head in confusion.

"Excuse me, I need to use the restroom."

"Oh...okay." She seemed a little reserved around strangers.

That's normal, after all, it's human nature.

Huang Yuxi and Sanhua Tongjue sat together and surprisingly got along very well, communicating through writing.

"Hey, Xiao Xi, looks like you're quite popular with girls!" Mo Xueyao chuckled, putting her arm around his neck. "Having a great time chatting with your new classmate?"

"Mmm!" Huang Yuxi nodded with a smile, looking quite happy.

Mo Xueyao had always thought he might have some homosexual tendencies, but now it seems that's not the case.

Uh... it's not really appropriate to think about your ex-descendant like that in your mind.

She stopped her chaotic thoughts, humming a song as she walked out of the classroom alone.

Hua Yinyin quickly caught up from behind.

"Little Yaoyao~! Let's go together!"

"They even have to go to the toilet together, really..."

"What? We were together all last semester! You've already forgotten after just one summer vacation?"

"He's a high school sophomore, after all."

"You're only a year older, it's practically the same as not being older at all," Hua Yinyin said, linking her arm with Mo Xueyao's.

"I can't believe you said that..."

"Tsk tsk, they actually assigned me a male deskmate this time, how annoying."

"Isn't Xiaoxue nice too?"

"Tsk, this feels so boring. It would be better if it were Xiaoxi instead..." Hua Yinyin muttered as she walked to the bathroom door, tidied her bangs in front of the large mirror, and then went into the bathroom.

Seeing that she did that, Mo Xueyao couldn't help but straighten her bangs as well—although there seemed to be no difference before and after straightening them.

The second period was geography class. Last semester, this course was combined with history, but this semester it has been separated.

I don't know if the teacher has changed.

Just as Mo Xueyao was thinking this, the head teacher, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, slowly walked into the classroom. As soon as he entered, he brought a strong aura, which immediately quieted down the somewhat noisy classroom.

At first, everyone thought it would be Teacher Guan Peng, but unexpectedly it was the Dean of Students who came to teach the class.

This sense of pressure is much stronger than that of a homeroom teacher.

After all, I see the homeroom teacher every day, and Ye Wen is very approachable, so I feel quite relaxed during Chinese class.

But the head of student affairs is a different story...

"Good morning, everyone. This is my first geography class with you. From today onwards, I will be teaching all geography classes." Yinling pushed up her glasses, and although she had a smile on her face, her tone was still very serious.

"I feel like the head of the teaching department's classes are going to be really boring..." Mo Xueyao muttered softly.

Aishuer didn't respond to her words, but instead sat up straight.

Looks like this is a deskmate who can't chat during class.

Just as Mo Xueyao finished thinking this, she heard Ai Xiuer say in a low voice without looking at her, "Teacher Yinling is not difficult to get along with."

"Really? I have a feeling it'll be like what happened to Ms. Jing..."

It's unclear whether Aishuer didn't recognize Jingdie, as she didn't respond.

"My name is Yinling. You might recognize me, as I am also the Dean of Students. But don't be nervous in my class. Of course, I won't take you to the administration office for punishment just because you're daydreaming." Yinling smiled slightly. "Alright, let's begin the class."

After a brief silence, Yinling pushed up her glasses again: "Don't you usually have your class monitor call out 'Stand up' in class?"

"Huh? I don't think so?" Hua Yinyin muttered.

"Our class doesn't have this habit! Teacher, can we be more casual about it?" Gao Yuan shouted.

"Let's make the first class a little more formal. Who's the class monitor?"

Li Wanyan silently raised her hand, then shouted in a strong voice, "Stand up!"

The whole class instinctively stood up.

"Teacher—" she said, bowing first.

"Okay—" the other students shouted in response.

"Tsk, all for show." Liu Xiaowei muttered under his breath after sitting down next to the trash can.

This semester, Class 2 of Grade 11 no longer has the "left and right protectors" next to the podium. The only one who has been allowed to sit alone is Liu Xiaowei, whose "throne" is right next to the trash can.

That is, the position next to the back blackboard.

Because the space behind him was very spacious, he could even place the desk at an angle and sit crookedly, looking quite comfortable.

This guy was last in the class last semester. Ye Wen put him in this position hoping he would reflect on his mistakes, but so far he doesn't seem to have any intention of doing so...

Yinling's geography class was indeed not as oppressive as Jingdie's math class, but it was still just average, the kind of teaching style that ordinary teachers use.

Perhaps everyone was used to the very interesting classes taught by the other teachers, so they found this ordinary teaching style particularly boring.

But Yinling's explanation was indeed very detailed, and for students with particularly high concentration, this is probably the most efficient way to attend class.

While other teachers' courses are certainly interesting, they generally slow down the pace of their lectures.

After the second period, there's a long break between classes. Although it's not particularly long, some boys still choose to use this time to play basketball.

But today is a little different, because it's the first day of school, so during the long break, as usual, we still have to move things.

"All men, come with me! Let's move the books!!" Li Hongran stood up, waved her hand forcefully, and shouted.

Textbooks have been distributed, but workbooks and exercise books have not yet been distributed, especially workbooks. Each student needs more than twenty workbooks, since the consumption of these is quite high. In addition to being used for copying, they are also used as draft books and so on.

When she first enrolled, Mo Xueyao heard Li Hongran shout the same thing, and she even stood up.
