Several pairs of pure and innocent eyes stared at the boy standing beside the teacher . The boy's face could contend with their top student's looks which is Shao Boya and their second top student , Lin GenXin. Several cute girls excitedly poked their friends and chatted which one of them is the most handsome .
The whole class turned noisy whispering and talking about their new classmate. Lin GenXin just calmly watched ahead while Shao Boya is still busy spinning his cheap pencil while pondering over what's he going to do to earn more money.
The little boy in front calmly bowed to slightly to his new classmates and introduced himself. " I'm Cui Tengfei , 5 years old . From Cherry Blossom City . "
Cherry Blossom City ... That's the nearest city from Greenleaf Village . Shao Boya read in the newspaper that there's a lot of skycrapers there and it is an economically rich city . Although Cherry Blossom City isn't as amazing as the capital city at least the city was surrounded with tourist spots making it the first destination most tourists land first when going out on a vacation.
" I'll be studying here with you this 3rd semester . Please take care of me . " Cui Tengfei flashed a handsome smile bringing excited smiled upon the countenances of the little girls.
Shao Boya didn't frown from the noises the little girls did , but Lin GenXin does . The little boy glared at the little girls then slowly looked on his left . Shao Boya sat beside the window and the sunlight hit the profile of the young boy. One could see that this boy has an outstanding looks , coupled with his smart looking face , anyone who sees him will thought he's otherworldly and would alienate him .
That's what Lin GenXin is currently feeling , he wanted to be close to him but he felt inferior . Although they have the same humble origin , Shao Boya was different .
It was as if , he's a lost prince in a poor village and he wasn't supposed to be living in here. Lin GenXin once saw Shao Boya's mom and knew that they were really weren't from the Greenleaf Village . It was five years ago that Lu Meifeng appeared and was suddenly rumored to be Shao Xiaolin's partner .
Lu Meifeng is a beautiful woman and Lin GenXin couldn't understand how a fat man like Shao Xiaolin could get a beautiful woman to be his partner . There must be hiding something .
Lin GenXin immediately threw those thoughts off his head . He was too addicted to the drama series on TV that he even thought that Shao Boya must have a rich and powerful dad and Lu Meifeng was the runaway wife .
But if Lu Meifeng really ran away from their family , why would she choose to suffer under Shao Xiaolin's tyranny?
Shadow suddenly loomed over Lin GenXin . The young boy then lifted his head and saw the transfer student .
Cui Tengfei flashed a handsome smile and put his bag on top of the table just in front of Lin GenXin's chair . " Nice to meet you , classmate . " Greeted the young master .
Lin GenXin nodded and smiled faintly . " Hello , I'm Lin GenXin . "
" Lin GenXin ... Let's be friends . "
" Ok " Lin GenXin nodded then went back to staring at Shao Boya .
Shao Boya slowly lifted up his head from dazing mid-air then moved his iris towards the little boy's face . " What are you staring at . "
" You're cute . " Answered Lin GenXin honestly .
Shao Boya chuckled as a faint smirk surfaced upon his lips . " I know ... But thank you for the compliment . "
Lin GenXin felt choked up and didn't dare you to blatantly stare at his classmates anymore . Cui Tengfei curiously behind him then looked at the western direction . There he saw Shao Boya , the young boy is indeed cute as what Lin GenXin said .
He could even contend with his older brother's looks . For Cui Tengfei , Cui Manyan is the most good looking creature he has seen , but he seeing Shao Boya . He cannot deny that Shao Boya is indeed good looking . Lin GenXin too is good looking . Cui Tengfei suddenly doubted wether he unknowingly entered a fictional world , only comics contained beautiful people but this humble Greenleaf village has two kids possessing such an outstanding face .
These two boys are already eye-catching despite their shabby clothes , what if they were doned with expensive shirts, pants , watches , make up and etc .?
Cui Tengfei couldn't imagine it anymore . He suddenly felt inferior , he regretted coming here . At least in his former school , most of his classmates worship him for his wealth and looks. They said he's the most adorable kid in the kindergarten but when he came here , he instantly met two .
Unfair!
" Ok kids! Let's get back to our lesson for today. Let's recall what we have learned yesterday . Yes? What was it again? Raise your right hand if you want to answer . For the outstanding child that answered it correctly will get a good reward ." Teacher Qi officially started the class .
Most of the students in the class were busy doodling but the smart ones were obediently listening to the teacher .
Cui Tengfei too listened carefully since he still doesn't know what lesson the school was already at .
Lin GenXin rested his cheek on his palm and watched the teacher interacting with the pure curious kids .
" Ok for our math subject , we will be having a group activity . Do you want to play kids? "
" Yes!!! "
" Ok! Good children , have you brought the thing I assigned you to make yesterday? "
" Yes ,teacher! "
Hearing Qi Ru's words . Shao Boya silently picked up the cartoon clock he made last night . Lin GenXin also pulled the clock inside his desk then put it over the desk .
Cui Tengfei curiously looked behind him and saw the cartoon clock on Lin GenXin's desk .
" Since this is a group activity , obviously , all of you will have to form a group . "
Qi Ru instructed the whole class that evey column will have to group up . When Lin GenXin heard it , he felt disappointed then longingly looked at Shao Boya . He wanted to be group mates with Shao Boya .
Cui Tengfei looked at Lin GenXin then said. " We are teammates . "
" Yeah " Lin GenXin secretly pouted .
The little girl who previously gave Shao Boya a doll earlier was sitting in front of Shao Boya and since they were in the same column, they become teammates automatically .
The kids excitedly formed a circle around their leaders then started practicing . Shao Boya's teammate's immediately circled their chair around him and nervously stared at the smart child silently spinning his cheap pencil .
With this aura of his , the little kids were afraid to make a single noise . Out of all five teams , only Shao Boya's team was the most silent .
Qi Ru " Team Shao gets 5 points for being obedient and quiet . "
The middle aged man immediately put a tally of 5 on the blackboard with a gentle smile then swept his eyes over the teams who started getting quiet when they saw the first team getting five points for behaving .
The previously fearful look on the first team immediately brightened when they saw their points but they still didn't make a noise . You could see how disciplined they were under Shao Boya's rule--- lead .
Cui Tengfei made an envious look then look at their leader . Lin GenXin is still staring at Shao Boya with worship. Cui Tengfei recognized the silent guy as the garbage boy he and his brother saw when they stopped by the Greenleaf Village but he doesn't know hos name .
" Lin GenXin , who's that guy? " Asked Cui Tengfei curiously .
Lin GenXin didn't alienate Cui Tengfei when the boy asked him about Shao Boya .
Lin GenXin still didn't remove his gaze and answered . " He's the top student in our class . "
Cui Tengfei nodded his head in understanding . " He's really good , even his teammates are obedient and behave . "
" That's because he's a good leader . " Lin GenXin smiled and nodded .
" But truthfully , i would prefer a leader like you . I couldn't stand being with a leader like him . He's scary . "
Lim GenXin glared at Cui Tengfei . " That's why his teammates didn't disobey him . Do you know that most of his teammates have their grades increased because everyone followed him? "
" When Shao Boya had not yet fully made these classmates obey him . Their grades aren't really good , instead ... They have very poor grades , only after following Shao Boya's lead did they improve . "
Cui Tengfei immediately nodded. " Then he's really good . "
Lin GenXin nodded . " He's really good , i even admire him . "
" You admire him? " Cui Tengfei
Lin GenXin nodded and flushed . " Stop chit chatting and focus back to the activities . "
The kids listening to their conversation immediately sobbered up and grasp their clock with thoughtful looks . Silently agreeing with what Lin GenXin said . Truthfully , one of them even have a crush with Shao Boya . The second group silently stared at the girl with flushed cheeks .
" Hey , Tian Huailing, you're blushing furiously. " Said one of the kids .
Tian Huailing blushed even more and covered her face from shyness . " S-sto~p "
Everyone in the second team covered their mouth and chuckled silently .
" Alright!!! "
The whole class immediately paid attention with face solemn expressions . Their faces brought slight smile to Qi Ru .
" We already know the rules right? Those who got the first correct answer will get 5 points , while the second could only get 4 then down to 1 for the last team who flashed the correct answer. "
" I will be saying out loud the time that i want you to adjust in your toy clock . After i count to 10 , you have to lift your clock up for me to see . "
The whole class nodded in understanding .
Then Qi Ru said out loud . " Give me the correct analog of 10:50 am . Lift up the clock in one! two! ... "
All eyes immediately locked unto Shao Boya's hands . Shao Boya then calmly said . " Watch my hand , the longer hand will be the hour . Mr. Qi said 10:50 . We have to adjust the longer hand to the 10th number . "
Shao Boya then moved the hand at 10. " Then the shorter hand to the 50th small lines . You see the small lines between the long lines circling on the frame? These are the minutes, follow my finger , 5 , 10 , 15 up to 50 . The 50th line is on the longest line on the number 10 . Both the long and short hand pointed at the number 10 . Look at the hands' position , this is the what the clock looks like when the time strikes 10:50 . "
Then the longest hand was pointed at the number 12 . Since Qi Ru only told them the hour and munite , Shao Boya only pointed the longest hand to to 12 ( seconds ) .
Shao Boya adjusted the hands so fast that the kids couldn't even start counting from 1-10 when Shao Boya immediately pointed the large hand to 10 .
Most of the kids would innocently count first to be sure , wasting their time for it . There are 60 munites on one hour , every leader in their team started counting one to ten when they moved on to the minute section . Most of them could only count from one to ten , not one to one hundred so they often made mistakes .
By the time the time is up , only three groups finished adjusting the hands . While the other group is still counting the small lines .
Shao Boya's team was the first to lift up the clock and the little girl who gave Shao Boya a doll earlier stuck out her chest with proudful face .
She has the quickest hand in their team so she was assigned by Shao Boya to lift the clock . Lin GenXin's team was only three seconds later than them .
" The first team gets 5 points for showing the correct answer . The second team , 4 points . The third team , they showed an incorrect answer , you will only get 1 point . "
Not long after , Shao Boya's team was the grand winner for the group activity . All the kids gave them a fancy round of applause with chants mixed in .
Although Lin GenXin's team got the second place , Lin GenXin wasn't disappointed because he already knew he still couldn't defeat Shao Boya .
Time passed quickly and Qi Ru dismissed the class with a good mood .
But Shao Boya wasn't destined to have a good mood today .
He heard the news ... That Shao Yu got sick .
And Lu Meifeng was still busy selling foods . Shao Boya was struck dumb and doesn't know what to do .
