The school beauty is aloof? Whatever, she has a younger sister.

Chapter 222 First Day of School

Thinking of this, Zhang Muchen summoned the system interface in his mind.

[Storage Item: Memory Regulator x1]

[Do you want to retrieve it immediately?]

He stared at the familiar notification, paused for a moment, and then closed the interface.

This potion was a reward I received after completing the last mission, and I originally intended to use it to improve my combined science score.

But now Little Yuzu's task is urgent.

Zhang Muchen took a deep breath and muttered to himself, "I'll give it to Xiaoyouzi this time. Anyway, the reward for completing the mission includes memory regulators."

"And I don't feel bad about using it on Xiaoyouzi, she deserves it."

Zhang Muchen recalled the girl's soft voice and timid expression, as well as her vulnerability every time he bullied her.

He couldn't help but smile.

"Little Yuzu, consider this compensation for bullying you."

When the bell rang for recess, the homeroom teacher, Mr. Yan, left the classroom with his textbooks.

The students, who had been quiet and reserved throughout the lesson, suddenly became lively, and the atmosphere in the classroom became cheerful.

Zhang Muchen stretched and glanced around the classroom.

As expected, many people's attention was focused on Xu Ranxi.

He himself was also secretly observed by many people.

Unlike the way they looked at Xu Ranxi, the gazes directed at her were filled with a hint of jealousy and sourness.

Of all these gazes, the one from the class monitor was the most resentful.

This was originally my job!

Zhang Muchen could certainly see what the class monitor was thinking, but he chose to ignore it.

"Let's go, Xu Ranxi, I'll take you to get your school uniform and textbooks." Zhang Muchen patted the girl's desk.

"Okay." Xu Ranxi responded, stood up and followed.

The two walked out of the classroom one after the other.

The noise in the classroom paused for a moment, and everyone's eyes fell on them.

Someone muttered under their breath, "Damn, they're eating way too well."

Zhang Muchen led Xu Ranxi to the logistics department, and along the way he did not forget to act as a tour guide, pointing out and introducing the buildings along the way.

This is the dormitory building, this is the cafeteria, and this is the office building.
The two quickly arrived at the logistics office. Zhang Muchen signed the form as if she knew the way well and took a stack of textbooks and a brand-new school uniform from the teacher.

"Here you go." He handed the school uniform to Xu Ranxi.

On the way back, Zhang Muchen carried his textbooks.

"How was your first day of class?" He turned to look at the girl.

"It's okay, I can keep up."

"Tsk, that sounds quite modest. I remember you were in the top ten in your class in junior high."

“Correction, it should be the top five.” Xu Ranxi glanced at him.

"Okay, anyway, I think you should have no problem with your studies."

Hearing this, the girl's lips curved slightly, clearly pleased.

She paused, then suddenly asked, "By the way, the homeroom teacher said that the seats will be changed next semester. Will it be on the first day of school?"

"That's right. Our class is adjusted almost every semester, with a change every two months on average."

"Why do you change them so frequently?" Xu Ranxi asked, puzzled.

"Because we have to arrange seating according to ranking, we basically have to reassign seats after each monthly exam."

"Why do I see that most of the students in my class are same-sex deskmates?"

"Tsk, that's because the opposite sex is more likely to cause early romantic feelings, and teachers are afraid they won't be able to control it."

"Then why were you sitting together with Chu Jiuli?" Xu Ranxi frowned.

"The teacher assigned me to tutor her in English. But I might be replaced next semester. After all, the teacher who assigned me to tutor her resigned."

As he spoke, Liu Wuyang's image involuntarily surfaced in his mind. "Hey, why are you still walking forward? We've arrived at the classroom." Xu Ranxi stood at the classroom door, calling out to him with a hint of exasperation in her voice.

"Ah...oh." Zhang Muchen paused for a moment, his thoughts pulled back to reality.

He hugged his textbook tightly, turned around, and walked into the classroom.

The next class is physical education, and many students are already changing their shoes in the classroom.

Although final exams are approaching, physical education classes will proceed as usual due to a document from higher authorities.

Physical education teachers no longer get sick.

Xu Ranxi sat back down, folding her newly acquired school uniform neatly on the corner of the table. She glanced down at her sneakers, then at the other people's athletic shoes, and frowned slightly.

"Don't you have any sneakers?" Zhang Muchen noticed her hesitation.

"Hmm, I didn't know there was sports today."

"It's okay, I'll talk to the teacher. It's your first day here, so don't twist your ankle," Zhang Muchen said.

“I have another pair here. If you don’t mind, you can wear mine first,” Wang Shishi suddenly interjected, smiling as she leaned closer.

"Our shoe sizes must be different, right?" Xu Ranxi asked hesitantly.

"That's about right," Wang Shishi said, placing her foot next to hers to compare.

Zhang Muchen glanced down and saw that they were indeed quite similar.

Although Xu Ranxi is not tall, just over 1.6 meters, Wang Shishi is only a few centimeters taller than her, so her feet are also small.

"Shishi, let me try."

“Okay.” Wang Shishi turned around and pulled out a pair of clean white sneakers from the cabinet. “I’ve only worn them two or three times, they’re very clean.”

"Thank you," Xu Ranxi said softly, then sat down on a chair and bent down to take off her shoes.

Zhang Muchen stood to the side, his gaze unconsciously falling on her slightly bent back, then sweeping over her slender, fair ankles, and he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"Tsk, those little feet are quite delicate."

The thought had barely crossed his mind when Wang Shishi's soft voice came from beside him: "Hey buddy, what are you staring at so intently for?"

"Look at the feet," Zhang Muchen said in a low voice, without any hesitation.

"Tsk, pervert." Wang Shishi narrowed her eyes.

Xu Ranxi changed her shoes, stood up, and gently stepped on the ground a few times to test the feel of her feet.

"Shishi, it suits you perfectly and feels very comfortable." She looked up and smiled at Wang Shishi. "Thank you."

"Hehe, as long as it suits you. Let's go then." Wang Shishi smiled and pulled Xu Ranxi up, then took Chu Jiuli's hand with her other hand.

The three girls walked out of the classroom with lightness and agility.

Zhang Muchen walked behind them, looking at the three beautiful figures, and couldn't help but click his tongue.

"When will I be able to hold three children in one hand? It's a long and arduous journey."

On the playground, the physical education teacher blew a few whistles. The students in the class quickly assembled and lined up in rows according to their height.

Xu Ranxi stood there hesitantly, unsure of where to place herself. After all, the class formation had already been decided, and as a new transfer student, she felt a little awkward.

She hesitated for a few seconds in the front row when Chu Jiuli's voice rang out beside her.

"Sun Chuzhen, why don't you go stand at the back?" Chu Jiuli walked over. "Give this seat to the new classmate; she's a little shorter than you."

Sun Chuzhen paused for a moment, glanced back at Xu Ranxi, and without saying anything, silently retreated to the back row.

As she moved, several students in the back row adjusted their positions accordingly. The formation became somewhat chaotic for a moment, but Chu Jiuli quickly directed everyone to stand in their proper positions again.

Everyone cooperated well with her as the sports committee member.

In less than a minute, she had arranged the team.

As the whistle blew, the whole class jogged forward in unison.

Xu Ranxi ran a few steps with the group, then looked down at her pink sneakers and looked up at Chu Jiuli leading the group.

Sunlight fell on my shoulders, and my heartbeat and footsteps intertwined in an orderly rhythm.

Xu Ranxi let out a soft breath, her eyes softening.

On my first day of school, I was well taken care of.

Wishing everyone a happy and healthy Dragon Boat Festival! (●''●)
