"Maybe......he picked it up."

"Picked it up?"

Something so small could be picked up?

"As if I'd believe that!" Jiang Yufan frowned. He followed Yue Zhishi to the second floor of the junior high school building and continued asking, "Even if he picked it up, how would he know that you're Yue Zhishi?"

Yue Zhishi asked back, "Am I not recognisable enough?"

"That's true......" With that mixed face, Yue Zhishi was a popular topic of discussion when he first came. Jiang Yufan however felt that it was strange, "I was scared to death just now. When I saw Song Yu wearing that arm band, I thought you were finished."

Yue Zhishi leaned against the handrail to catch his breath, "So extreme?"

"Why not? Breaking the rules on the first day back to school and even running into the cold and aloof Song Yu who is on duty. When he grabbed you, I thought he was going to reprimand you on the spot."

Almost reaching their classroom, Yue Zhishi turned and shushed him before quickly walking in.

It was very good timing. At this moment, the class leader was calling attendance. Yue Zhishi tried his best to hide his heavy breathing and stood at the door with his hair slightly curled up from the running, "Teacher........."

The head teacher Wang Qian was a young male teacher in charge of teaching Chinese. He got along with the students well but also wouldn't hesitate to be strict when necessary. Fortunately, Yue Zhishi had always had a good student reputation and his grades were also good so Teacher Wang didn't make it difficult for him, "Come in."

But Jiang Yufan was not so lucky.

Wang Qian had a playful smile on his face, "Why, isn't this our class's regularly late guest?"

"Teacher Wang," Jiang Yufan rubbed his head, "I was only later than Yue Zhishi by two steps."

"Yes, and I think this standard is pretty good." Wang Qian raised his hand, "From today onwards, you are only allowed to be two steps later than your desk mate or you will stand for the entire morning study session."

"Huh?" Jiang Yufan's scrunched up his face as the rest of the students in class 8 laughed.

"What are you huh'ing for? Get in." When Wang Qian was done saying this, he began knock some senses into the other students, "Small matters are fine, but you better be good during the opening ceremony. If you're caught by the director, I won't be able to save you. After being publicly sentenced, you will make a name for yourself before you even enter senior high. I guess that can be a way to make sure you didn't attend junior high school for nothing."

Everyone secretly laughed. Only Yue Zhishi who still hadn't recovered running earlier was in a state of confusion as he tried to stuff his bag under his table. No matter how he tried, it just didn't go in. He eventually reached in and pulled out a delicate royal blue gift box.

Strange. He took a closer look.

"Who gave it to you this time? How great, already getting a gift on the first day back to school." Jiang Yufen whispered from his table, "It's nice being handsome."

"That's not it." Yue Zhishi raised his head and glanced at Wang Qian before opening the gift box. Inside was a exquisite white pen and a bottle of ink and there was also a card. He didn't touch the pen and just opened the card to read the contents before putting it back under his table.

The gossipy Jiang Yufan shuffled over, "Which class? That pen doesn't look cheap."

Yue Zhishi pursed his lips and seemed to be in thought.
