Right after the homeroom teacher spoke, he regretted it a little. After all, this was the little prince of the Yin family—the troublemaker of First High.
The fact that he even bothered to attend class was already a sign of respect.
The teacher sighed quietly. He was about to scold him for talking in class when, to his shock, his eyes widened.
The little young master of the Yin family actually pulled out his chair and stood up!
The teacher instinctively glanced outside. The sun didn't rise from the west today, did it?
Meanwhile, Shen Yuan panicked and called out in his mind.
[San San! San San, help! How do I solve this question?!]
D3, who had been busy playing around, was suddenly yanked out.
[???]
Seeing Shen Yuan's pale, helpless face, D3 quickly reassured him.
[Don't panic! I'll calculate it for you!]
Shen Yuan had stood up, but for a long time, he didn't say a word. The teacher's face stiffened as he let out a quiet sigh, looking as if he had expected this outcome.
Shen Yuan wasn't used to the outside world yet, and the gazes around him—whether obvious or subtle—felt like they were scrutinizing him. His whole body went rigid, as if it no longer belonged to him.
[San San, hurry up…] His normally soft voice now carried a faint tremble, tugging at D3's heart.
[Alright, alright, I got it!]
Xu Yan, sitting closest to Shen Yuan, could naturally sense the tension in his body.
More than that, when he looked down, he noticed the little young master's pale fingers tightly gripping the edge of the desk.
He was clutching it so hard that it seemed like he wanted to carve holes into the wood.
Xu Yan pursed his lips and looked away. Hidden beneath his long bangs, his expression turned cold.
Since when has Yin Yin ever been nervous about answering a question?
[Got it!]
A clear and crisp voice suddenly echoed beside him.
"4."
D3 and Xu Yan spoke at the same time.
To Shen Yuan, who was drowning in panic, it was like a life-saving rope. Without even thinking, his eyes lit up, and he blurted out, "4!"
The teacher nodded slightly and hummed in acknowledgment before shifting his gaze.
"Xu Yan, can you come up and demonstrate the solution for everyone?"
"Alright, teacher."
Shen Yuan rested his chin in his hand, watching as Xu Yan gracefully held the chalk, writing fluidly on the blackboard.
His movements were smooth and precise, without a single pause.
Shen Yuan lowered his gaze, his voice dull as he muttered, [San San, am I useless?]
Xu Yan's handwriting was neat and well-formed, and the surrounding students were paying close attention, occasionally jotting down notes.
Meanwhile, Shen Yuan's mind was a complete mess.
If he had been an animal in his past life, he would have been a little snail—slowly stretching out his feelers, only to shrink back at the slightest hardship.
Delicate and fragile.
[Of course not! This is your first time going to school. Even in the original owner's memories, he never cared about studying. It's okay, this won't happen again next time!]
D3 couldn't bear to see Shen Yuan looking so down. It flew right in front of him and hugged his small nose, rubbing against it affectionately.
[Not everyone is born knowing everything. Yuan Yuan, you have a long journey ahead! We'll work hard and improve together!]
Shen Yuan blinked his round eyes and softly said, [Okay.]
Right after saying that, something suddenly came to mind.
[San San, go rest now! Otherwise, you'll run out of energy and go into sleep mode again.]
D3's little body stiffened.
Shen Yuan noticed and looked at it in confusion. [What's wrong?]
D3 quickly shook its head.
[Just focus on class! Call me if you need me.]
Shen Yuan obediently nodded, his eyes full of concern. [Go rest now.]
D3's face turned red before it zoomed back into Shen Yuan's body.
Inside the system space, its inner angel and devil immediately started brawling.
Eventually, D3 straightened up, looking serious as it knocked on D5's door.
[D5, are you there?]
[No.]
[Let's play a game!]
[AFK. Get lost.]
[I'll buy you a new skin!]
[Shut up and send me the invite.]
