I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 27. School Starts
"Xu Qingfan! Aunt Yao said if you don't come downstairs, she'll hide the internet cable!" Xia Xiaoxiao poked her head into the room; the little rascal was still playing on the computer!

"Here it comes, thirty seconds!" Xu Qingfan saved the text document and quickly pressed Windows+U+U to shut down the computer.

"What's the rush? We're supposed to report at nine, it's only a little past eight now!" Despite saying that, worried about being scolded by his mother, Xu Qingfan hurriedly put on his shoes and pulled Xia Xiaoxiao downstairs.

Today is September 1st, the day they register for primary school.

However, since today is Sunday, classes will not start until tomorrow.

Xia Xiaoxiao was a little unhappy today because her uncle went to another city to wholesale crayfish again. She heard that he made tens of thousands of yuan on just one trip.

As a father, Xu Qingfan couldn't help but feel worried that his son wouldn't attend such an important day as the start of elementary school.

It's said that men with money go bad, and Xu Qingfan was afraid that his little butterfly effect would cause Xia's father to fall into depravity prematurely.

He shook hands with Xia Xiaoxiao, who was sitting next to him. The little girl turned her head, and Xu Qingfan smiled at her.

Xia Xiaoxiao smiled faintly, but quickly returned to her poker face.

Not long after driving towards the Experimental Primary School, the road quickly became congested, with cars and people coming and going, and all sorts of animals driving on the road.

Xu Qingfan was also surprised to find that there were so many rich people in such a small place as Licheng District!
Along the way, Xu Qingfan saw several Audi cars with special license plates. He wondered if he should call to report the misuse of official vehicles, and whether the case would be handled by the other party or himself.

The class assignments were posted on the bulletin board a few days ago. Xu Qingfan, Xia Xiaoxiao, and Lin Wanning were all assigned to Class 16 of Grade 1.

“This primary school is much nicer than the one we attended back then,” Yao Jinping said with a touch of emotion, linking arms with Lin Jing.

"Yes, I was quite surprised when I came to take them to their exam that day!"

Xu Qingfan had seen many extravagant schools before, but he had never seen one like Experimental Primary School with six teaching buildings, one for each grade.

We will recruit 720 students, with 36 students per class, and a total of 20 classes per grade.

According to the information they gathered, Xu Qingfan and his classmates will be taking classes in the fifth teaching building for the next six years.

He felt that this was actually quite good, as it physically separated six grades, which would reduce the probability of older students bullying younger students.

Unlike his elementary school in his previous life, where they would readily recognize each other as older brothers and sisters, and at the drop of a hat they would say things like, "You better watch out after school, I'm so-and-so's son, I'll get someone to beat you up!"
Countless people hide in toilets to smoke.

[There's a reason why it's expensive!] Xu Qingfan exclaimed again.

"The teaching building even has an elevator!" The adults were quite amazed by the school's facilities, as if they were visiting a grand garden.

There were too many people taking the elevator, so even though Class 16 was on the fifth floor, they chose to take the stairs.

When the group reached the fifth floor, there were already many parents standing in twos and threes in the corridor.

"This is Class 120, Class 16 should be on the far end," said Aunt Xu, pointing to the class sign on the first classroom at the corner.

Actually, he knew without Xu Ma reminding him, because Lin Wanning was standing right across from him.

"Brother Qingfan!" The little girl noticed Xu Qingfan and his group and ran over.

"Slow down, slow down!" Lin's parents shook their heads helplessly, following closely behind their daughter. Xia Xiaoxiao seemed thoughtful, then stepped forward and tightly grasped Xu Qingfan's arm.

"This brat insists on waiting for you guys to come before entering the classroom." Lin Qiaoshan patted Xu Qingfan's head familiarly, instinctively wanting to offer Xu Aiguo a cigarette, but remembering his wife was still there, he changed his hand from reaching into his pocket to scratching an itch.

"Good morning, little classmate!" Lin Wanning scratched his head in confusion when he found that his reserved spot had been taken.

"Good morning." Xia Xiaoxiao raised her head, like a proud rooster.

"Hurry up and go into the classroom, don't keep the teacher waiting." Wen Wanqing nudged the three little ones who were still standing there.

"Hehe, come with me!" Lin Wanning grabbed Xu Qingfan's other arm and jogged towards the other end of the corridor.

As he passed by other classrooms, he noticed that the desks were not arranged in the usual single or double arrangement.

The 36 students were divided into nine groups of four, with desks arranged in a π-shape with one horizontal and two vertical rows.

When the three arrived at Class 16, there were already more than 20 students scattered around. Because of the presence of parents, the students were generally seated in the first six groups closest to the blackboard.

There were still empty seats by the window in the back row, and Xu Qingfan pulled the two of them to reserve them without thinking.

"Hey~ kids, come and report to the teacher first. Where are your parents?" The female teacher standing on the podium called them back.

"Oh, oh, I'm sorry, hello teacher, my name is Xu Qingfan." He obediently led the two to the podium.

"Xu Qingfan, wow, you're number one! Keep up the good work!" The female teacher put a checkmark on the form and patted Xu Qingfan's head with satisfaction.

"Hello teacher, my name is Xia Xiaoxiao."

"Holy crap~ cough cough, you wouldn't happen to be Xiao Ruanwen, would you?" Seeing that Xia Xiaoxiao, number two, had also arrived, the female teacher looked at Lin Wanning and then at the form.

[What kind of magical childhood sweethearts are they, both getting top marks in exams?] She recalled the romance novel she had read a few days ago, and her mind began to wander.

"What? Teacher, my name is Lin Wanning!" Lin Wanning raised his head and looked at the female teacher who was giving him a strange, maternal smile.

"Ahem. Hello, Wan Ning. The teacher has already registered you. Please return to your seats." The female teacher immediately resumed her dignified expression, tapped the file with her pen, and said earnestly.

When the three of them reached the ninth group, they all stopped. Xia Xiaoxiao was holding Xu Qingfan's right hand, and Lin Wanning was holding Xu Qingfan's left hand. The two of them looked at him at the same time.

Xu Qingfan: How about we cut me in half?

Okay, if we can't have a win-win situation, then let's have a lose-lose situation.

Xu Qingfan did not sit at the only double table, but sat at a single table.

Xia Xiaoxiao followed suit and sat down opposite Xu Qingfan, while Lin Wanning sat down to his side.

"Hehehe~" On the podium, the homeroom teacher, who noticed this scene, covered her mouth and chuckled.

[Stop! Stop! Guanbian Yue, you need to stop!]
It's a pity, the top nine students in the class are supposed to be group leaders, so this little one is going to be eliminated first. Otherwise, should I move Wan Ning away too? That way, none of them can be deskmates!
[Stop it, stop it! Guan Bianyue, you're the homeroom teacher, you're here to manage class discipline, not to ship any couples!]
Thank you to Old Town Under the Sun for the 1000 Qidian Coins reward.
