65. First Day at School

Translator: Sissy That Walk

Qi Le An was so excited about going back to school that he woke up at 6 o’clock the next morning.

And he was unable to fall asleep after that.

So Qi Le An checked his school bag again and again, then he put on his school uniform and cooked himself some scrambled eggs for breakfast.

It was still early, the boy then took out his textbook and studied until seven twenty. He checked everything one more time before he went downstairs, humming and whistling.

Chen Shan had just parked when Qi Le An walked downstairs. When he saw the aspiring young man in the stylish uniform, he nodded in approval.

“An, you look like you are shooting some idol drama with your high school uniform on,” Chen Shan said.

Qi Le An smiled, he said no in his heart, because he found himself a bit too short to cast for an idol drama.

He had only grown an inch or so or the past six months…

Qi Le An felt so downhearted on recalling the fact that he didn’t hit six feet tall, he found the young starlets were getting taller and taller these days, how he wished he could grow taller.

Chen Shan drove quickly and arrived at the school gate in less than 20 minutes. The students in the international department were all from rich families, there were so many luxury cars parked at the school gate already.

“Would you like to sneak in right before your class starts?” Chen Shan was a little shocked when he saw the large flow of people. He couldn’t help but get worried for Qi Le An, ‘What if people surround him, no, I will do my best and protect him!’

“It’s not necessary. Aren’t we all school uniforms?”

Qi Le An said that, but his tone was filled with uncertainty as well.

“Why not put on your hat?” Chen Shan suggested.

“Isn’t that more eye-catching?” Qi Le An asked suspiciously.

The car behind them started to honk as they discussed whether Qi Le An needed to wear a hat. Hearing that, Qi Le An gritted his teeth and grabbed the hat that Chen Shan had prepared for him , “All righty then, hat onn! Thanks for the ride, bye bye!”

“You…” Chen Shan said, “Feel free to call me if something comes up!”

Qi Le An nodded, he pushed open the car door and walked out.

Qi Le An was not recognized by anyone thanks to the hectic first day of the new semester. He was stopped and ordered to remove his hat when he entered the school building by the dean. Qi Le An stood awkwardly at the door of the school building, it wasn’t until now did he realize students were not allowed to wear hats on campus.

Standing next to the dean, Qi Le An hesitated for a moment and moved his hat up a little.

“Madam, I… I’m so sorry…” Qi Le An said apologetically.

The dean was a woman in her forties. When she saw Qi Le An’s face, her eyes widened. Some students who were standing behind the dean had recognized Qi Le An and they couldn’t help but scream.

The dean turned around and shot them a warning look, the kids covered their mouths in astonishment.

However, they couldn’t help but jump for joy. Seeing more and more people gazing at him, Qi Le An lower his head and asked, “Madam, can I take off my hat later, please give me a chance to explain the whole thing in your office.”

The dean hesitated for a moment and said, “It’s all right, I know your situation, but I hope you can try your best to abide by school regulations. And you need to see your head teacher before you go to your classroom.”

This was the first time they had a celebrity student at school, even the dean had no idea where the boundary was. She wanted to make Qi Le An’s life easier, but school regulations were made to be followed.

Qi Le An smiled sweetly and bowed to the dean.

The school would ring their first bell at eight o’clock. The students would do a twenty-minute morning before the classes officially started.

Qi Le An was walking upstairs when he heard the bell, he checked the time and started to dash towards the head teacher’s office. His head teacher was walking out from the office when he arrived. Qi Le An was panting when he finally made it to his head teacher’s office.

‘Oh my God, I do need to excise more, I can’t believe I’m panting from climbing some stairs!’

The head class teacher was stunned for a moment when he saw Qi Le An, “Hi, Qi Le An, can you stay in the office by yourself for a while. I need to have a look at the class briefly.”

Qi Le An quickly nodded and walked into the teacher’s office.

The international department of No. 1 High School were well-known for their excellent facilities. The head teachers had their own offices with a desk, an air conditioner, a water dispenser, a sofa, etc.

Qi Le An, who was sitting alone in the office was fascinated by everything, he looked at the office curiously.

This was the first time he was sitting in a school teacher’s office in his two lifetimes.

After about ten minutes, the head teacher came back with a pile of teaching material. Qi Le An was tutored by the teacher during the winter holiday, so they kind of knew each other already. Qi Le An enjoyed Mr. Luo’s teaching a lot, especially math. He found Mr. Luo could always approach a hard question with a plain and easy way.

Qi Le An always thought compared with Mr. Li, Mr. Luo was someone who deserved to be respected as a teacher.

“The first class today is math, it’s my class. I know you are nervous, but it’s okay, I will introduce you to your classmates,” Mr. Luo said calmly.

Qi Le An quickly stood up from the sofa and said respectfully, “Thank you, Mr. Luo.”

Mr. Luo smiled and said, “You don’t have to be so uptight.”

Qi Le An stuck his tongue out in embarrassment.

The young teacher flipped through the teaching material before he led Qi Le An into the classroom.

Qi Le An had already taken off his hat when he was waiting in Mr. Luo’s office. When he entered the classroom with Mr. Luo there was uproar.

Mr. Luo signaled the students to be quiet for several times before he said, “It seems that I don’t need to do the introduction. You must know who this new classmate is.”

Some girls shouted Qi Le An’s name. Qi Le An looked at the smiling faces, it was such an amazing feeling to know he was going to be classmates with this lovely bunch for the following three years.

When he was a trainee, he was also in class, but most of his classmates were nowhere as innocent and friendly. Qi Le An looked around the classroom, all the desks looked so messy, he could even see some schoolbags lying on the floor, but it felt so right! All of his classmates looked so aspiring and energetic, Qi Le An had fallen in love with them immediately.

Most of them didn’t wear any makeup, but their eyes were sparkling when they looked at Qi Le An . Qi Le An couldn’t wait to become a part of this class.

“Qi Le An, sit in the third row over there please, Wang Tian Xiang will be your desk mate.”

Qi Le An looked at the third row, there was an empty seat near the hallway, that must be his seat.

So Qi Le An walked to his seat with his bag in his arms.

The layout of the classroom wasn’t much different from the classrooms in Glory. There were four sections in total, even the desks and chairs looked very similar as well.

Qi Le An gently pulled the chair and stuffed his bag into the desk. Then he took out the Mathematics textbook and the pencil case that Wei Chang Feng had prepared for him.

He could feel his every move was drawing countless gazes from his classmates, and the chitchat was heard again. Mr. Luo coughed again on the podium as a warning.

Mr. Luo didn’t introduce Qi Le An much. After he arranged a seat for Qi Le An, he asked everyone to open the textbook and started the class.

Qi Le An had already previewed the lesson in the morning, but he still was fascinated by Mr. Luo’s humorous teaching. He was completely focused on following the teacher, and he felt like the class had passed in an instant.

The students need to do daily exercise after the first class.

The international department was different from other high schools who required the students to do setting-up exercises. They allowed the students to do any exercise, basketball, baseball or even tennis. They had half an hour to do some exercise. And it was usually the head teacher who organized the exercise session.

As the bell rang, Qi Le An was hesitant about what to do. At this moment, his desk mate suddenly said, “Hello, my name is Wang Tian Xiang, the class monitor.”

Qi Le An quickly replied, “Nice to meet you, my name is Qi Le An.”

Wang Tian Xiang was a skinny and tall young man with a few pimples on his face. Qi Le An appreciated Mr. Luo’s arrangement, his desk mate looked really responsible and friendly.

“Do you want to play basketball together?” Wang Tian Xiang asked.

Qi Le An hesitated for a moment and shook his head. “Sorry, I don’t know how to play basketball.”

Wang Tian Xiang was stunned and he touched his nose awkwardly.

Qi Le An could feel that his classmates were all looking at him, he felt a little embarrassed. ‘Do I have to go downstairs as well?’Qi Le An couldn’t help but look at Teacher Luo for help.

Mr. Luo who was still standing on the podium had received Qi Le An’s pleading gaze and he nodded at Qi Le An subtly.

“Come on, class, downstairs, now!”

Thus, everyone went out one after another except Qi Le An. Mr. Luo asked Qi Le An, “Do you prefer staying in the classroom or doing some exercise downstairs?”

Qi Le An was just about to open his mouth when a bunch of students from other classes rushed towards his classroom! They were surprised to see Mr. Luo in the classroom, but they still entered the classroom.

Mr. Luo raised his head and glanced over them. Everyone had lowered their volume when they got the warning look, the leading girl looked awkward with a pen and paper in hand, obviously she was trying to get Qi Le An’s signature. The other girl beside her was holding a smartphone, it looked like she wanted to take some photos with Qi Le An.

“You’re not allowed to turn on your phone at school, right?” Mr.  Luo pulled a long face.

The girl with the phone hurriedly stuffed the phone into her pocket. The other students who were trying to say hi to Qi Le An looked at each other in dismay and together they left Qi Le An’s classroom.

Mr. Luo sighed resignedly and said to Qi Le An, “Come to my office.”

So Qi Le An visited the head teacher’s office for the second time within an hour.
