Chapter Five, First Encounter (Five)

Cen Ning nodded and said, "I am sorry."

It is unclear whether it is due to the new students or the senior wearing the high school uniform, but the students who were originally engaged in their morning reading have gradually ceased their reading, all wearing expressions of curiosity and astonishment as they gaze at the classroom door.

Good

Cen Ning: "We have postponed the class"

Cen Ning felt that Yan Xing did not like their strange relationship, so he instinctively shook his head and said, "No."

"Hey, it's you. I didn't expect us to be in the same class." The morning reading session began again, but the person next to her occasionally cast glances in her direction, and a girl in the front row even turned around to greet her directly

Cen Ning was amused by her exaggerated expression, and Zhang Ziyi, seeing her laugh, also joined in the laughter, "Hey, are you skipping grades? You look so young."

Cen Ning felt inexplicably puzzled, yet her heart skipped a beat: "Friend?"

Is there none? But everyone says so, and Yan Xing was still standing up for you yesterday

Zhang Ziyi looked disappointed: "Alright, then let's eat together next time. I heard that a very good steakhouse has opened nearby."

The earlier gloom dissipated completely with a single sentence from him, and Cen Ning felt a surge of joy in her heart, causing her lips to involuntarily curve upward: "Oh!"

The distance from home to school is more than twenty minutes. When Cen Ning got on the bus, she was nervous due to her words and actions, and later, as they approached the school, she became anxious about entering a new environment. She struggles to integrate into new groups; in her previous school, she never understood why she was excluded by others.

"What are you doing standing there? Come here." This was said by Yan Xing to Cen Ning

Cen Ning felt too shy to look at her classmates and simply bowed to the homeroom teacher, saying: "Hello, teacher"

"Then what do you want Lao Gao to do?" After finishing breakfast, he turned back and, half reminding and half commanding, said: "Make sure your backpack is on properly, we will depart in three minutes"

Do you know which class it is

Holding her face, Cen Ning tried to cool down the heat on her cheeks, but at this moment, the image from earlier reappeared in her mind: in the dimly lit room, a refined figure, as exquisite as jade...

"Tang Zheng, what are you all doing? Wait for us!" Zhang Ziyi did not dare to be reckless in her words and actions before others, but with Tang Zheng, it came naturally. However, as soon as she bounced over, Tang Zheng gave her a playful knock on the head, saying, "Tsk, you are so disrespectful. How many times have I told you to call me 'brother'? What is this 'Tang Zheng' all about? It is impolite."

Her reasoning was quite strange, yet Cen Ning still felt a bit happy; making friends on the first day of school was something she had never even dared to imagine

However, this male god is extremely aloof, his demeanor so indifferent that most girls do not dare to approach him. Therefore, when someone is suddenly brought to the classroom door by him, everyone is filled with curiosity

Teacher, she is Cen Ning

A slight smile played on his lips as his gaze fell upon Cen Ning

Cen Ning has not yet responded, and Xu Wanying, who came out of the study, interjected: "Ning Ning is not familiar with the school, Xingzhi, I thought it would be better for her to go with you."

Then you should urge him to hurry up and set off after having his meal

After descending the stairs, I saw Cen Ning sitting properly on the sofa. As I passed by, I casually asked, "Are you still here?"

Yes

His tone remained indifferent, yet the words he spoke felt like a warm current soothing Cen Ning's heart. Cen Ning raised her gaze to look at him and slowly nodded her head.

The female teacher standing by the podium walked over after seeing someone standing at the door: "You all..."

Zhang Ziyi looked at her suspiciously and then whispered, "So, are you really in that kind of relationship with Yan Xingzhi?"

"Oh, then it's in the building ahead." Yan Xing said as he walked forward, while Cen Ning jogged alongside him, her breathing becoming tense.

Cen Ning could not understand Xu Wanying's embarrassment; she merely thought that her silence was due to her unwillingness to take her along to school.

As Xu Wanying was about to step out the door, she heard Yan Xingzhi's voice saying: "Aren't you even going to let me finish my meal?"

Cen Ning was indeed fearful of the consequences of her words and actions, but recalling yesterday's events filled her heart with joy; when someone treated her well, she always remembered it deeply.

He nodded slightly and then looked at Cen Ning: "Relax, don't be tense"

Cen Ning is small in stature, yet her mental maturity surpasses that of most children. She can sense that people are drawn to her because of their words and actions. Logically, she should feel angry about this, but for someone like her, who has always been marginalized, the feeling of having companions around her brings immense joy.

On this day, after finishing classes in the afternoon.

How does he sleep without wearing clothes

I waited in the car for a while, but I didn't see you come out

Why are you not obedient? This child is very well-behaved and even called me brother obediently, didn't he

Of course I don't like it. Zhang Ziyi snorted, "Every day showing off and flaunting, it's enough to drive anyone crazy."

Class 3

Cen Ning also got off the bus after properly putting on her backpack

Cen Ning has always been a timid, introverted girl who is not good at expressing herself and is sensitive in her thoughts. Her silence does not mean that she does not think. This silence in her words and actions is undoubtedly a blow to her, and the good impression she had of him just yesterday has somewhat faded.

With a sidelong glance, neither warm nor cold, he looked at Cen Ning and said, "Aren't you waiting for me downstairs to go to school? Are you leaving first?"

Cen Ning came to her senses: "Get up, get up!"

Arrived. The car stopped, and Yan Xingzhi opened the car door and got out.

Cen Ning looked at her apologetically and said, "Today, Grandpa Yan asked us to return home on time for dinner."

Aunt, I, I want to go to class now. " Cen Ning, not wanting to force her words and actions, timidly asked Xu Wanying, " Where is Uncle Gao? "

Zhang Zi noticed that Cen Ning was silent and did not ask further. She lowered her voice and said, "Alright, let's not discuss this matter at school. There are many people here who enjoy gossiping. If others find out about this, it could really make you quite unpopular"

"Hey, you girl—" Tang Zheng placed a hand on Yan Xingzhi's shoulder, adopting a posture that suggested a sense of "the difficulties of being an elder." "Tell me, why are today’s children so unruly?"

However, the initial curiosity tinged with ill intentions transformed into a sense of relief upon seeing Cen Ning in person, oh, so this is how they look, then this must be a relative of Yan Xing

Everyone thinks this way, rather than associating Cen Ning with terms like "girlfriend" or "beloved".

She is reluctant to refuse, and the result of this reluctance is that every few days someone places a love letter expressing their feelings on her desk

Cen Ning was taken aback, looking at the completely unfamiliar face in front of her, and said somewhat confusedly: "You, do you know me"

Zhang Ziyi propped her chin up and said, "We met at the court yesterday, when Xue Xiaoxiao returned your camera, remember"

This person, in terms of both words and actions, is not only handsome but also a genius in academics, making him the prized student cherished by all the teachers

At this moment, the two individuals sat in the back seat, each in silence

Cen Ning let out a sigh, feeling quite embarrassed

Oh

Compared to Cen Ning's tension, Yan Xing's demeanor is chillingly calm: "Sorry to trouble you, teacher. I'll leave Cen Ning in your hands and take my leave now"

Indeed, from now on we will be friends on the united front

"Ning Ning, have you gotten up yet?" At this moment, Aunt Chen suddenly called out.

The female teacher is the homeroom teacher of Class 3. She had already received notice that a new student would be joining the class today, so upon hearing the name Cen Ning, she immediately appeared to understand. "Oh, you must be Cen Ning. Hello, I am Teacher Luo, the homeroom teacher of our class."

After Yan Xing left, the homeroom teacher led Cen Ning into the classroom. After completing a brief self-introduction, she was assigned a seat in the fourth row

Xu Wanying also felt a bit uneasy: "Uh... then, I will go call Lao Gao"

Xu Wanying came to a stop, and Cen Ning also looked at Yan Xing with a puzzled expression

There was a slight pause in his words and actions; he did not respond to Xu Wanying's remarks but went straight to the dining room for breakfast

The other students in the class may still be curious about the relationship between Yan Xingzhi and Cen Ning, but Zhang Ziyi, as a child from the same courtyard, has heard about it. The young girl in her teens is still somewhat naive about love, yet she is beginning to awaken to it, and when it comes to such secret topics, girls are always quite passionate.

When Cen Ning came out of the room, she stood on the stairs with a look of panic on her face, wondering what she had just seen.

Xu Wanying stood awkwardly in place, watching the back of Yan Xingzhi.

Cen Ning did not expect to see Yan Xingzhi right after leaving the classroom. He was standing at the bottom of the steps, wearing a school uniform, with the first button of his shirt undone, tall and upright, looking quite striking.

Cen Ning was taken aback: "No, you, you—"

This school is quite large, but even a person like Yan Xingzhi is recognized by the teachers. Although the homeroom teacher finds it strange that this student was sent by Yan Xingzhi, they will not ask too many questions at this moment. "Alright, she has been entrusted to me."

Cen Ning shook her head: "... ... No."

Zhang Ziyi rolled her eyes at him: "Ugh, just because you are a few years older than me, you think you are impressive, acting all high and mighty."

Yes

On the first day of class, the new students were personally escorted to the entrance by Yan Xing, and this news quickly spread throughout the middle school department

In fact, Cen Ning is not unattractive; she simply developed a bit later. Not only is she smaller in stature, but her complexion is also quite dull. Therefore, in a school filled with beautiful girls, she is truly unremarkable. In fact, female classmates, feeling less guarded, often take the initiative to approach her, subtly probing for information about her words and actions.

Hi, it's nothing, let's go home

"I am here, but there are many people, so it is quite normal that you didn't see me." Zhang Ziyi raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Hey, you really made my day that day. I can't tell you how happy I was to see Xue Xiaoxiao in a tough spot. Hmm... the enemy of my enemy is my friend, Cen Ning, so we shall be friends from now on."

Cen Ning: "... ..."

Are you there

Cen Ning let out a sound and stepped forward: "What are you doing here"

You do not like Xue Xiaoxiao

To the east, I approach the Qieshi Rock to gaze upon the vast sea. The water is tranquil and the islands rise majestically. Trees grow densely, and the grasses flourish... Passing through the corridors of two classes, Yan Xing and Cen Ning arrived at the door of Class Three, where the students inside were engaged in their daily morning reading.

Such a person, who is both good-looking and intelligent, is naturally revered by the girls at school as a figure of male divinity

A few people turned and walked towards the school gate, while passing students either boldly or sneakily glanced at them. However, at this moment, Cen Ning was not focused on this; she touched the several love letters in her pocket and looked somewhat troubled at the back of Yan Xingzhi.

"Ning Ning, let's go out to eat today. How about we go home after dinner?" Zhang Ziyi finished packing her backpack and stood by her desk

How should I hand this over to him

Finally, Cen Ning and Yan Xing boarded the bus to school together. This bus is usually arranged to pick up and drop off Yan Xing for classes. The driver, a middle-aged man in his forties, is a serious and unsmiling individual.
