I will never give in to Miss Death

"Okay, okay, I'll go to your school first. I'll call you if there's anything."

"Uh-huh."

After hanging up the phone, I walked through the vegetable garden behind the community as before, followed the path all the way to the end, then pushed aside the bushes in front of me and poked my head out from among several green trees with a "rustle".

Really, couldn't these guys just open up another road here? It makes the road so winding.

Depressedly brushing off the flowers and plants on my body, I walked onto the cement road in front of the green belt and arrived at the entrance of Xingguang Primary School.

"Hurry up! Why are you still dawdling?"

"The entrance exam to junior high school is coming soon, aren't you in any hurry at all?"

"Swipe your card to enter, swipe your card to enter!"

Just like before, the "head of school" still stood at the school gate with majesty like a door god. Almost every student passing by did not dare to look directly into the eyes of this middle-aged woman. They all lowered their heads and walked quickly, then swiped their cards to enter the school.

After observing for a while, I soon found my previous class teacher at the school gate.

"teacher!"

I was a little nervous for some reason, so I approached carefully. I didn’t raise my hand until I was less than three meters away from the teacher. “You looking for me?”

"Ah... you're finally here!"

After a brief moment of daze, the female head teacher turned around with a look of joy on her face: "Did classmate Li Denghua tell you everything?"

"Didn't she ask me to come and see you?"

I was a little surprised: "You didn't say anything specific?"

"Oh, it's okay, I didn't tell her specifically. I thought you weren't coming."

The teacher gestured to me inside the school and said to the "dean" guarding the gate, "I'll take her to see Principal He."

"Oh."

The "Dean of Studies" just glanced at me and said nothing. Then he seemed to be bitten by a mosquito on his thigh. He bent down and slapped it a few times, cursing, "When will all these damn black mosquitoes die?" and continued to look forward.

"Come on, come in."

As if worried that I would run away, the head teacher beside me enthusiastically took me into the school and began to introduce the buildings inside to me.

"The building on the left is an office building. On the left side of the first floor is the main office, and on the right are some utility rooms and sports equipment and other things."

"The first room on the second floor is the principal's office, and the second is the academic affairs office."

"The third floor is the library, and the computer room is upstairs..."

I silently wrote down this knowledge.

"Uh... I want to confirm it again."

Seeing that I didn't say anything, the head teacher bent down slightly and asked, "Are you really the maid from that coffee shop... the Nuo girl?"

"what……"

I thought about it and said, "If you are talking about the Shangjing Maid Cat Cafe on Xingxing Road, I do work there now."

"That's great. Our principal just wants to talk to you about something... ahem, talk to you."

The female head teacher walked to the front and said, "The principal should be in the office now. Come on."

What does your principal want to see me for? Do we know each other before?

Although I had a lot of questions, I still followed the head teacher to the stairs of the office building and then went up to the second floor.

After knocking on the first office door a few times, the head teacher called out, "Principal He, that child is here at our school."

In an instant, there was a sound of someone jumping off a chair in the office and running towards this side.

With a creaky sound, the door in front opened and a young man who looked to be around thirty years old walked out.

"Principal He, this is Nuo'er, the maid who has been very popular in the coffee shop recently."

The head teacher nodded to the young man and said, "Then I'll go back first."

"Ok."

Waving to the leaving head teacher, the young man very enthusiastically motioned me to come in: "Nuo'er, sit down, come, please sit down."

I walked into the principal's office and took a general look at the environment.

A water dispenser, a very worn-looking laptop, and some filing cabinets and stuff.

Overall...this principal's office is a bit simple.

"What do you want to drink? Coffee, milk, soda, I have them all here."

The ordinary-looking young man was a little too enthusiastic towards me: "Or juice? If you want milk tea, I can go down and buy it for you."

"Orange juice, please."

I sat down on the small chair the young man pointed at me in a ladylike manner, and finally couldn't help but be curious: "Um... I want to ask, what are you doing?"

"Here, orange juice."

The young man handed a bottle of orange juice that looked expensive to me on the table and said respectfully, "Would you like anything else?"

"Wait, you're making me panic."

I put the juice aside and asked, "Are you sure you didn't recognize the wrong person?"

"Yin Nuoer from the Cat Cafe in Shangjing, you have a good relationship with Li Denghua, a sixth-grade student from our school. You even used her school badge to enter our school to look for something, didn't you?"

The young man, who should be the principal of Xingguang Elementary School, sat opposite me and said, "How could we have made a mistake? You are probably the only girl as cute as you in the entire Kamihama City... No, I doubt there are any girls as cute as you in the whole country."

"Stop, stop, stop. I don't really like this kind of flattery."

I smiled bitterly: "From the looks of it, it seems like you have something to ask of me, right? Can you tell me a little bit?"

"Okay, I like straightforward things."

The young man clapped his hands and cleared his throat: "In that case, then... Miss Nuoer, I will be frank with you."

"Are you... interested in becoming a student at our school?"

"..."

……

No. 161 Angel Street No. 23

My first impression of the principal's office of Xingguang Primary School was that it was simple, or... retro.

Many things here seem to be quite old. The tables and chairs are shiny from being sat on, the bookshelves are filled with yellowed books, the laptop on the desk is full of wear and tear, and even the desktop computer next to it... well, this should be a desktop computer, right? It's hard to tell what year the computer case is, and it's paired with a big-headed TV.

This has to be from at least the year 2000, right?

It was almost the time when I just started to understand things and began to have memories.

At that time, computers had just entered thousands of households. We had only one computer class every two weeks in elementary school. The computer room was full of big-headed TVs, and there was no Windows system when we turned on the computer. Instead, we had to enter a lot of strange characters in a black command set to enter an interface. Once we entered the interface, we could start "learning" according to the requirements in the computer book.

However, we didn't actually learn much computer knowledge at that time, because the computer teacher in the school was only half-baked at computers. Every time he turned on the computer for us, he would just let us play games and we would play for 40 minutes before get out of class was over.

Later, I don’t remember how many years it was, but the computers in the school started to install Windows 98, and then Windows XP. And it was from this XP system that a lot of computer viruses appeared, such as Iceberg Worm and Panda Burning Incense...

I didn't expect that in 2022, I could still see this kind of old big-head machine in elementary schools.

I guess this thing should be thrown to Tualatin. The garbage guys there will all despise it when they see it.

What I didn’t expect was that… this young man in front of me, who looked only a few years older than my previous life’s “uncle” self, asked me, as his first question, whether I wanted to become a student of this school.

Become a primary school student?

For some reason, my first reaction when I heard this was the gender-swap yuri manga "From Today You Are an Elementary School Girl" drawn by Mio Ushino that I had read before. Then I was confused - why did he ask this question?

From the conversation just now, I know that this school has some understanding of me.

The sixth-grade teacher contacted me through Li Denghua and asked me to come here today, claiming that they "had something to look for me". On the way here just now, he repeatedly confirmed whether I was the "Yin Nuoer" in the coffee shop.

After the head teacher took me to the principal's office, through a brief contact with the principal, I could guess that the principal should also be aware of the general situation on his side.

I, Yin Nuoer, am very short, look very "young", have a very cute voice, and look like a child no matter how you look at me when I put on a primary school uniform. My background is also very simple: I am an orphan without a father or mother who came from an orphanage and grew up with my brother. My brother suddenly passed away half a month ago, and I have no relatives in the world since then.

Since the principal knows about this situation, what’s the point of him asking me this?

You can't... your school recruit an adult who is over 18 years old on his ID card to compete with a group of children? Even if the school really wants to do this, the law doesn't allow it, right?

"Feel sorry."

After nearly ten seconds of silence, I sat on the small chair, put my legs together, adjusted my skirt a little, tried to make myself look more ladylike, and then took the juice handed to me by the principal: "I don't quite understand what you mean."

To be honest, for a moment just now, as a little girl, I felt a little bit uneasy, just a little bit.

I don't know when it started, but I gradually put myself into the identity of "little loli". Not only in the interactions with passers-by and customers in daily life, but even in normal situations that are very common for uncles and there is no need to be on guard, I began to be wary.

My thinking seems to have been changed by this body.

For example, just now I walked along the vegetable garden behind the community, crossed various paths, and finally came to the entrance of Xingguang Primary School. That section of the road was sparsely populated. If I were still an uncle, even if it was completely dark, I would not think "should I be careful" or "there won't be any bad people".

But it seems different when I am "Yin Nuoer".

In fact...even though it was still daylight and a big ball of fire could be seen from the sun in the west, and there were many grandpas and grandmas in the vegetable garden who had not returned yet, I was instinctively alert as I walked along in my little skirt, carefully observing the surrounding environment. Generally, no one would target an uncle, but it would be different if I were a very cute little girl.

Similarly, when I was brought to the principal's office by the head teacher, I instinctively became alert to my surroundings.

Xingguang Primary School seems to be the only primary school within dozens of kilometers. It is said to have a history of several decades. In addition, the people in Nannagi District are "simple and honest", so theoretically it is unlikely that I will encounter any danger in school. However, I still try my best not to be so lax.

Ah...if you think about it this way, it seems that the only way to be absolutely safe is to stay with Yin Xiamo.

As long as Xiaomo is around, I can sleep peacefully for half an hour and have a sweet dream, not to mention in an elementary school, but even in a public place with not many people or in a small woods in a park.

Am I... becoming dependent on Xiaomo?

"You should also know that I am an adult."

I unscrewed the cap of the juice bottle and took a small sip: "I can't come here to study."

The reason why I said "I only had a slight" sense of caution is because this school has given me a good impression so far.

Whether it is the environment or the teachers and students here, they all give me a very familiar feeling.

It is just like the primary school I attended more than 20 years ago. Although all the equipment and facilities are very backward and there is not even a decent cement road in front of the main entrance of the school, it still constitutes my complete childhood and brings me many fond memories.

The internal structure of Xingguang Primary School is the same. The sports equipment and some of the chairs next to it are very old. Some of the sports equipment even have their paint peeled off. But it can be seen that the teachers responsible for their maintenance are very serious. The floor is cleaned very well, and the green belt next to it is also beautifully built.

The bottle of juice in my hand was obviously unopened, so there was no big problem - the most important thing was that after I entered the door, the principal did not close the door of the office at the back. My seat was behind the door, so I could leave at any time if I wanted.

"Ah... I'm sorry for being so abrupt. When I said 'become a student here', I didn't mean it literally. I didn't mean for you to come here to study."

My puzzled look made the principal in front of me feel embarrassed. He coughed and said, "It's like this. I want to invite you to our school as a special guest. You can be announced as a student here, but this student is different from ordinary students. You don't have to come to school every day, and you don't have to take exams. That's what I mean."

Eh?

After listening to the explanation of the young man in front of me, I was still a little confused: "Can you explain it in a little more detail? I still don't quite understand."

Being a special guest of this school? Claiming to be a student here?

What is this going to do?

Are they shooting a commercial? Or do they want me to be their spokesperson?

If I become an image spokesperson, it won't be too troublesome and I can make money, so I might consider it.

I am indeed a little short of money now - Yin Xiamo bought me so many strange clothes during this period because of the compensation money, which made me think that "money is not everything, but not having money is absolutely impossible."

Currently, the money I have on me, plus the money in my online banking, only totals about a thousand yuan, which is enough to help me do nothing.

And now it’s still a long time before the salary is paid at the end of May or the beginning of June. If I want to have some say in the family with Yin Xiamo, I have to make as much money as possible to support the family... Bah, bah, bah, just make money for yourself.

"I'm sorry, I was in such a hurry that I couldn't explain anything clearly."

Facing my increasingly confused look, the young man in front of me pulled the small fan behind him over, pressed the "shake head" button, and then took a deep breath: "First, let me introduce myself. My surname is He, and my full name is He Yuanyi, which means "Yuan" in "distant" and "Yi" in "perseverance". You can call me Uncle He, or you can call me Principal He like the teachers and children here."

"Hello, Principal He."

I nodded and obediently held the juice up to my skirt with both hands: "My name is Yin Nuoer, the Nuo of promise, I'm already...already grown up...ahem, I graduated from high school, and I taught myself a lot of college knowledge at home with my brother, college English, college politics and so on."

The reason why I deliberately emphasized "high school graduation" is that I hope the principal can understand the fact that he is already an "adult."

"Yes, yes, I know, I know. When the head teacher of Class 63 told me about this matter, I confirmed it with her. We held a meeting this morning about you."

The principal who called himself He Yuanyi said excitedly, "Yin Nuoer, you are a big celebrity on the Internet. My nephew went to your coffee shop yesterday and spoke highly of you. He also said that the Nannai District Government is planning to build a large-scale project there. Nannai District is going to get better."
