He Will Come Back Before Dawn

9

The confusion on Bei Yao’s face was so obvious that Teacher Yu Qian was stunned for a moment. She was going to ask Bei Yao about her preference this morning, but since Bei Yao’s home was far away, she always came late to the class. And usually, one’s subconscious response would be that it was better to be at the same table with Fang Minjun rather than with Pei Chuan.

Pei Chuan drew a “38 line” and didn't talk to Bei Yao. Therefore, for the sake of protecting Bei Yao, they should let Bei Yao and Fang Minjun sit together. Thinking this way, Teacher Yu directly notified her after the class.

Bei Yao looked at the indifferent Pei Chuan. Her thinking was not mature enough. Although she was reluctant to leave. Bei Yao was always a good child who listened to the teacher.

She used her little hands to rub and wipe her eyes, put her textbooks and water cup into her school bag, and packed her stuff. During this time, Pei Chuan didn’t even look at her for once and just stared at the drawings of his Chinese textbook.

Bei Yao was afraid that he would be lonely. She thought about it and untied the little panda from her school bag.

She rubbed the little panda against her soft cheeks and reluctantly put it down on the Pei Chuan’s side of the desk.

Pei Chuan’s gaze shifted from the book to the round little panda sitting on his desk.

He knew that she liked this toy very much. Sometimes she would subconsciously pull the little panda’s ears in class, and every day she would make sure that the little panda was settled well before coming to the class.

When he finally raised his eyes to look at her, she looked rather reluctant to part. With such a pitiful look in her eyes, he pondered over whether she couldn’t bear to leave him or the panda.

Then he silently pushed her beloved little panda back while thinking that the probability of she couldn’t bear to let go of himself would not be much.

Bei Yao hugged her little panda while thinking sadly, neither he liked her nor her toy.

She carried her bag over towards Fang Minjun, who was looking at her arrogantly and then turned back to talk to the back table.

It took all the willpower of the five-year-old Pei Chuan to not turn around and look at her back as she walked past him.

Bei Yao sat in the bright sunlight and the golden light was gently adorning her little head. She put the bamboo dragonfly in her backpack on the opposite side of her, where the sun couldn’t shine.

The kids watching the show forgot about the seat change in a flash.

Bei Yao and Fang Minjun became the deskmates.

If Bei Yao had memories of high school, she would definitely find it awkward and weird. Fortunately, with the mindset of a child, she thought that the beautiful Minjun was also very cute.

Throughout the autumn, the first thing Bei Yao learned was to control her habit and began to drink less water. Because Fang Minjun wouldn’t give her own water as Pei Chuan did.

Fang Minjun was extraordinarily competitive. If Bei Yao’s hair was nicely combed, she wouldn’t look well all day long and would subconsciously go to fix her princess dress. In the end, she was just a child. Although her mother’s inculcated ideas kept in her mind, she wasn’t too hostile towards Bei Yao.

After all, Xiao Bei Yao was not as slender and delicate as her. Bei Yao was also easy to bully as she could be used to throw out Fang Minjun’s trash and she would also send Minjun’s homework to the group leader. Therefore, Xiao Bei Yao was very obedient and well-behaved.
