  *****************

  At exactly eight o'clock, the bell rang. Qian Duoduo rushed into the classroom panting, and had just sat down when the teacher arrived.

  The first lesson was Chinese class, and the Chinese teacher was an old man with white hair named Mr. Zhou. He had already retired but was rehired by the school to continue teaching first-grade students for another year. Mr. Zhou loved children very much, and his face always wore a kind smile.

  The language class started with learning pinyin letters, from a, o, e. For Xiaojingdian who could recognize simplified Chinese characters at the age of three, it was like an alien script. However, following the teacher's recitation was still manageable. Children with excellent auditory memory can't be hurt, right? But once she had to copy or read by herself, Xiaojingdian could only stare blankly with her big eyes wide open, and in her empty gaze, all that appeared were question marks.

  Several phonetic letters, the teacher led everyone to read a lesson repeatedly, then drew four horizontal lines on the blackboard, teaching everyone how to write. After teaching several times, in the second lesson, only let classmates write the new phonetics learned last time on their own phonetic books, and hand them in after class.

  Xiao Jingchen's notebook was a neatly cut white paper with no grid, allowing her to draw freely. However, Xiao Jingchen could only stare blankly at the notebook, holding a pencil and spacing out. She really couldn't write, let alone understand the correct paths of those twisted lines.

  She puckered up her small mouth, looking as if she was doing some major research that affected the livelihood of the people. Her big eyes would look at the textbook for a while, then glance at the blackboard. Finally, she started writing - "Pa!" As soon as the pen touched the workbook, the tip broke due to excessive force. Xiao Jingchen was stunned for a moment, calmly put the broken pencil back in the pencil case, took out a new one, and continued to poke at the workbook - "Pa!" It broke again, and she changed it again!!

  "Slap..."

  "Slap..."

  Listening to the continuous snapping sound of pencil leads beside him, Wei Shu couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache. How many words could these leads have written? They were wasted so carelessly... Wei Shu's writing speed slowed down noticeably, his fingers sliding up and down on the pencil as he finally couldn't resist turning his head to whisper, "If you use less force, it won't break."

  Xiao Jingchen: "......" She knew that the pen core broke because she used too much force, but she had already been reducing her strength. Who would have thought this pen was so fragile? She still liked the brush made by her master the most, at least the long hair on the tip wouldn't suddenly break off.

  It wasn't until she had gone through seven pencils that Xiao Jingchen found the most suitable force, which wouldn't break the lead but could leave clear marks on the paper. Her smooth forehead was covered with a layer of fine sweat, and writing was actually more tiring than practicing martial arts! What's going on here?!

  She carefully writes the pinyin letters on a piece of paper, drawing a small circle with a slanted line underneath to represent "a". A single small circle represents "o". A small circle with a horizontal line added underneath is "e", and a vertical line with a dot above it is "i". Drawing a small circle and then erasing the top half with an eraser creates "u". Erasing the top half of a small circle and adding two dots is "ǘ".

  Not to mention how hard it was for Xiaojingchen to draw and erase with an eraser, let's just say that after class, when Teacher Zhou received Xiaojingchen's homework, she was extremely perplexed. She had never seen a student who could turn phonetic alphabet letters into abstract geometric paintings, especially since Xiaojingchen's workbook was plain white paper without any grids. A single A4 sheet of paper was only enough for her to write six phonetic alphabet letters, and it can be imagined how large she drew them.

  After class, Teacher Zhou floated away like a ghost, carrying her homework book.

  The third and fourth lessons were math classes, and the math teacher was also the class teacher, Ruan. Since he had witnessed Xiao Jingchen's "smartness" and "seriousness" on the first day, Ruan paid special attention to him for a while during class. However, unexpectedly, Bai Jingchen seemed not to be a troublemaker, nor a naughty kid, nor a curious child who liked to challenge the teacher's patience with "why".

  The math lesson was about Arabic numerals, and the strokes of the Arabic numerals were very simple. Xiaojingchen wrote them very smoothly: "1" was just a straight vertical line, "2" was two horizontal lines with a vertical line in between, "3" was three horizontal lines with a vertical line, "4" was one horizontal line with two vertical lines, and "5" was three horizontal lines with two vertical lines... Okay, Xiaojingchen had turned the Arabic numerals into angular Russian blocks. When Teacher Ruan received Xiaojingchen's homework, she almost thought she was looking at some kind of confidential engineering drawing - the lines were too neat and dense!

  Although Xiao Jingchen was good at drawing numbers, the simple twisted digital symbols were completely inconsistent with the Chinese characters in her mind. As a result, when she learned addition and subtraction within ten, Xiao Jingchen's math also followed in the footsteps of learning Chinese pinyin.

  At noon, after school, Xiao Jingchen put on his backpack and saw Bai Xijing's car across the street. He immediately ran over, opened the door and got in. Xiao Jingchen fastened his seatbelt by himself and looked at his silly dad with sparkling stars shining in his eyes.

  Bai Xi Jing's mood suddenly became much better, "Was today's class fun?"

  "Happy." Xiao Jingchen nodded vigorously, a small smile playing on her lips, and in fact, she had drawn very well today on the white paper.

  Afternoons are almost all elective courses, and on the first day there is one art class and one music class.

  Bai Xi Jing had specially prepared a set of 108 colored wax pencils for Xiao Jingchen, more complete than those used by professional painters. Unfortunately, the little guy seemed to have no talent at all. In the first art class, the teacher didn't say much, just letting everyone draw a picture of their whole family.

  After figuring out what "Fu" is, Xiaojingchen happily started drawing. She drew her dad first, then Mantou, Chaobao and herself. Xiaojingchen liked the different colored lines made by crayons. Then the whole picture began to distort like Picasso's style - triangular-headed Mantou, triangular-headed Chaobao, plus triangular-headed Dad and triangular-bald headed herself. After finishing the basic outline, Xiaojingchen started polluting the paper with messy colors. When class was over, the art teacher collected all the students' work.

  That night, the art teacher was reviewing student artwork at home and silently wept in front of a full album of Avatar Slurpee, even an idiot knows that normal human skin can't be blue or green, right?

  First music class, teaching the simplest school song, teacher sang a sentence, students followed one sentence, until they all learned it, then let the students sing by themselves. However, Xiao Jingchen didn't know which nerve was wrong, the teacher sang very nicely, but when she repeated it, it became like reciting scriptures. In the end, Xiao Jingchen somehow turned the children's song "I go to school every day on time, love learning, love labor, grow up and make contributions to the people" into a Buddhist scripture with infinite meaning, Weiguo felt as if there were a hundred flies buzzing around his ears, the rhythm was extremely strong, and he even faintly heard the implication of Buddha's light shining everywhere. Weiguo was defeated, the teacher was desperate, and Miao Miao classmate laughed so hard she almost knelt down.

  Two classes were over, and the school was dismissed. Xiaojing continued to see her father's car outside the campus, got in by herself, fastened her seatbelt, and replied "happy" to her father's inquiry with a silly expression. She had no idea that she had made all the teachers who taught her that day very unhappy!

  The next day, looking at Xiaojingchen's simple and happy smile, clear and innocent big eyes, as well as the curiosity and trust overflowing in his eyes, the teachers once again abandoned their depression from the previous day and jumped into Xiaojingchen's sweet trap without hesitation.

  Xiao Jing dust was used to quietness, although she always looked at the people and things around her with a pair of curious eyes, but she almost never took the initiative to ask questions, nor did she take the initiative to talk to others, let alone provoke trouble. However, even if she sat quietly there, she exuded an aura that unknowingly attracted people, as if she was always radiating auspicious and peaceful vibes!!

  In the past few days, almost every teacher who has taught her has fallen in love with this well-behaved child. Even Ruan Laoshi couldn't help but have a few more points of favor and tolerance for her. Although this favoritism wouldn't show on his face, you could tell from his eyes how much the teachers adored this little darling.

  In the process of getting along with each other, the characteristics of the children also gradually emerge.

  Qian Duoduo is the biggest troublemaker in class, he exudes a strong aura of gangsterism and has a lot of pocket money. He quickly gathered a group of hooligans around him, although they wouldn't commit any serious crimes like bullying boys or girls, they would still bully their classmates. The girls in the class generally don't like them.

  The most popular among girls is Shangguan Zhe, not only his hairstyle is cool, but also his personality is very cool, sweet words come out of his mouth, don't know how many little girls' hearts he has cheated; The most popular among boys is Luo Jiani, the little girl has red lips and white teeth, her hair is black, shiny and long, now she's still young, when she grows up, she'll definitely be a school beauty queen.

  However, the most popular one in the class is actually Xiao Jingchen. Xiao Jingchen isn't the most handsome kid in the class, but she's absolutely the cutest, and her charm knows no gender. As soon as class is over, everyone likes to call her out to play. The little girl looks adorable, with pure and innocent eyes, a sweet and soft voice, and a good temper. As long as you don't swear or ask her to do anything bad, she'll listen to whatever you say.

  Recess only lasts for ten minutes, not enough time to play games for too long. First graders don't have that many ideas either, the vast majority of them just run around in the courtyard, laughing and playing, going to the bathroom or splashing water... The bathroom is right there in the courtyard, once the ten minutes are up, they have to go back to class again.

  Xiao Jingchen seems to have gradually gotten used to this kind of regular campus life, but it's only "seems" after all.
