Chapter 100 New Semester

  Time slowly passed from mid-July to late August, and it seemed like half a year had passed before the start of school finally arrived.

  After Xu Mufeng left, the class got a new head teacher, Sun Qingyuan. He was an experienced teacher who had just sent off a graduating class of high school seniors. He looked like a stingy shopkeeper from the Republic of China era, always wearing a big bun on his head and a thick sweater, and he was very strict. As soon as he took office, he changed the original seating arrangement of the class.

  Xia Xi felt emotional, why did all the new and old classes start with rearranging seats, but Sun Qingyuan didn't have Xu Mufeng's open-mindedness. He was like a stubborn old conservative who adhered to feudal teachings, changing the original boys and girls sitting together to male-male-female-female combinations, with all female students sitting in the front three rows, while male students were at the back of the classroom.

  Thus Xia Xi's new deskmate became Zeng Yu, and Xuan Miao also sat near them, the connection between the three people becoming increasingly close.

  Chen Yan's height always relegated him to the back row, which hadn't changed; as soon as he entered the classroom, his eyes would occasionally sweep towards Xia Xixi, seeing that everything was normal as she chatted and laughed with Zeng Yu and Liu Xuan. He felt at ease.

  This way of arranging seats in a evasive manner has brought about universal discontent. Tang Gongzi loudly complained when adjusting the seating arrangement: "This way of arranging seats is also too unreasonable, it's simply dividing the class into two small groups, and they don't even understand the principle of boys and girls working together without getting tired."

  The people around burst out laughing and jeered: "Hey, what kind of show do you want to see?"

  Sun Qingyuan walked in at this moment, and Tang Gongzi's words were all heard by his ears. He beckoned to call out Tang Gongzi and scolded him for half a lesson like a middle-aged woman.

  Tang Gongzi came back and told everyone about Sun Qingyuan's scolding, he made an effort to comb his hair up, with his hands behind his back, imitating the tone of their class teacher.

  "Whether you want to cause trouble or what, let me tell you, no matter whose bureau chief's son or whose family's young master, no one dares to make a scene in my class."

  "What's wrong with this seating arrangement? I think it's not the seats that are the problem, but rather you have a problem in your mind. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking about right now. In my class, even a hint of puppy love is not allowed."

  Tang Gongzi's way of speaking with his neck stuck out was almost identical to Sun Qingyuan, and the people around him were all amused to laughter.

  "How did you answer?" asked Mr. Mao curiously.

  "I'm certainly invincible and will make him speechless with my refutation." Tang Gongzi said proudly, patting his chest, but everyone knew he was just bragging, because since he came back from Sun Qingyuan's place, he had been in a sulky mood, with a dejected expression on his face.

  Even the thick-skinned Tang Gongzi in class couldn't take it and retreated. The classmates were so intimidated by this new teacher that they didn't dare to speak out, but could only secretly complain a few sentences behind his back.

  A new semester, the campus has many fresh faces, high school freshmen who have just finished military training, with curious eyes looking around at everything on campus, Xia Xi walks along the small path in the campus, looking at these younger brothers and sisters, as if experiencing the first day of high school again.

  She pointed at a group of first-year high school students rushing to the cafeteria and sighed to Xian: "Although they are only one year older, seeing them makes me feel like I've already grown old."

  Xiao Mei nodded: "Is it because they saw their own silly appearance from last year in them?"

  "I wasn't this dark back then." XiXi smiled with curved eyebrows.

  The flag-raising ceremony officially kicked off the new semester, and the school attached great importance to the first flag-raising ceremony, with Su Wenxuan hosting and Cheng Mu giving a speech.

  Xi Xi couldn't help but recall the scene of the first time she saw Cheng Mu give a speech, a spirited and handsome young man standing on the stage, speaking with great passion. A year had passed since then, and Cheng Mu's level had become even more refined, his grand and passionate words now laced with just the right amount of humor, drawing applause from the audience that lasted for a long time. The new first-year students were especially filled with endless admiration for such an upperclassman.

  Mao Shao Ye looked at the two people standing under the flagpole, and sincerely exclaimed: "Cheng Mu and Su Wen Qian are truly a golden boy and jade girl."

  Xia Xi gave him a white eye, this guy was too blind, Cheng Mu Da Shen was obviously her family's Xuan Miao's person, and only with her family's Xuan Miao were they a match made in heaven.

  "Has Young Master Tang possessed you? Randomly creating rumors for others." She teased Mao Shao with a displeased tone, her eyes secretly scanning Xian Miao standing beside them.

  Xiao Mei just stood there quietly, neither looking at Cheng Mu nor paying attention to them, her gaze slightly upwards, staring in the direction of the national flag fluttering in the wind.

  "Xia Xi Xi, I don't like hearing that. What's this about me being possessed?" Tang Gongzi suddenly poked his head out from the back row.

  "Nothing to do with you." Xi Xi glared at him and ignored him.

  Tang Gongzi originally wanted to continue discussing this matter with her, but Chen Yan pulled him: "Don't be impatient, Old Sun is looking over here."

  Tang Gongzi finally calmed down.

  On the way back to class, amidst the surging crowd, I saw from afar that Cheng Mu and Su Wenxi were standing beside the flagpole, chatting happily. A gentle breeze blew by, and Cheng Mu gently helped Su Wenxi brush away a strand of hair in front of her forehead, their actions extremely intimate.

  Xin Qian seemed to have seen nothing and brushed past the two, with Xi Xi walking shoulder to shoulder with her, suspecting that she had misjudged, how could Cheng Mu be so brazenly intimate with another girl, was Xin Qian too indulgent towards him, or did they have some problem before.

  She was filled with doubts and felt uncomfortable, so she tried to probe Xianmiao indirectly: "I heard that Chengmu was admitted to Q University, how did you celebrate?"

  "We broke up." Xuan said lightly.

  "What?" Xi Xi's reaction was not calm at all, and she felt like she had been struck by lightning upon hearing the news. They were her model couple in her heart, how could they break up so quietly? Her questioning tone asked: "Why? You two were so good together!"

  "There's no need to say so much, we've broken up and that's it." The more casually Xiāo Miàn spoke, the more Xī Xī felt a sense of regret.

  She thought about Xian's words carefully, and it seemed that there was no flaw in them, but she still felt a little strange in her heart. Emotional matters may not be reasonable, but they can't change suddenly either. Objects with quality will have inertia, let alone the heavy heart that carries so many emotions.

  "Don't you love him anymore?" she asked Xianmiu.

  "This thing called love, you can't touch it, can't see through it, who knows what it really looks like?" Xuan Mi smiled bitterly.

  Indulging her own obsession, giving up such a good program, carrying the blame in her heart, she made a decision that no one would agree with.

  Think carefully, it's really stupid, Xu Mufeng may not even know her mind, but she can't forget.

  Once that person has been here, others are also good, but they all become compromises, and her stubborn heart would rather be empty than compromise.
