Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander-Chapter 1171 - 775: Back to School (2)

To be honest, he was really worried about his buddy. If he really ended up with a woman like that one day, you can imagine what his life would be like.

Based on what he had seen before, he thought Zuo Qian would help Lin Mengye without hesitation. Therefore, he was a bit surprised when Zuo Qian flatly refused to help Lin Mengye deal with Lin Mengran. But it also made him appreciate Zuo Qian more. In making friends, it’s about character. A friend who would never betray you under any circumstances is worth having.

He originally thought that by staying away, he could gradually let it go. Who knew that the woman would come chasing after him. Hopefully, this old friend can clearly see through that woman this time and make the right decision.

In the back row, Lin Mengran bit her lip hard to suppress the urge to stand up and question Lin Mengye at the front.

At this moment, trying to persuade was useless. Moreover, they were in the classroom, crowded and full of curious onlookers. So, Chuxia and others just fell silent, occasionally glancing at Lin Mengran with worried eyes.

"I’m very happy..." Lin Mengran murmured with her head down, forcing a smile, "Her coming here means she feels insecure, that she fears me. Being valued like this, I’m very happy."

The few good friends said nothing, but reached out to pat her gently, conveying worry, comfort, and encouragement.

"Hello, students..." The homeroom teacher’s arrival timely eased the slightly stifling atmosphere, and the room quieted down immediately. He glanced around and smiled at everyone, "I’m Fang Zhenhong. You can call me Teacher Fang. I’m quite excited. I’m not sure if you’re all as excited as I am. To calm my nerves, let’s start with our first task, getting to know each other."

In his fifties, of medium build, with graying hair, almost in an instant, everyone liked this kind and approachable elder. Naturally, they responded with enthusiastic applause.

Watching everyone stand up properly like elementary school students and introduce themselves nervously, Chuxia felt a sense of emotion; today’s students are really so pure.

Fifty-two students, thirty boys, twenty-two girls, each introduced themselves. Teacher Fang then appointed the class monitor, learning committee member, living committee member, sports committee member, etc., according to exam results.

The learning committee member, naturally the top student, was Lin Mengran’s crush, named Zuo Jiang, seemingly in his early twenties. As for his looks, even Chuxia, who came from the future and had seen many handsome men, had to admit he was quite handsome, no less than future celebrities.

When he stood up to give his inauguration speech, most of the girls blushed. Girls of this era weren’t as direct as those from the future. Even if they had a crush, they were too shy to keep staring. They mostly stole glances and quickly looked down. If observed closely, you’d notice their heads were down, but their eyes were drifting toward a certain direction.

The class monitor was a man in his thirties named Li Xinlou, thin, tall, and pale. In contrast to Zuo Jiang’s brief inaugural speech, he delivered a lengthy monologue, clearly a person used to being in the council.

The sports committee member was Ou Yi, over one meter eighty tall, sturdy. Though not as handsome as Zuo Jiang, his good looks made him stand out among the boys.

The living committee member was a girl named Li Meifang, looking as ordinary as her name, yet approachable.

Then, each subject representative was assigned, naturally based on grades. There were two chosen from Chuxia’s small group: Li Xinli was the language representative, and Wu Jingbo was the math representative.

Everything was arranged. It was time for the class to end. Then, the class officers and a few boys went with Teacher Fang to collect textbooks. Next, the textbooks were distributed, and each subject teacher came to introduce themselves. Class by class passed, and just like that, a day went by.

Chuxia felt that the feeling was quite similar to the start of a new term in middle and high school.

What made her happiest was that Elder Yuan had been transferred here. No wonder Elder Yuan mentioned a surprise for her. She never expected this kind of surprise. So, her first task after school was to find Elder Yuan. Lin Mengran, Yang Xiaoli, Wu Jingbo, and even Li Xinli, entrusted by Zhao Yulan, naturally all went together.

Only Elder Yuan was left in the office. Seeing Chuxia and the others enter, he smiled and said, "So, were you surprised to see me?"

"Were you waiting for us, Elder?" Chuxia sat smilingly opposite the old man, "You really kept it a secret, not even a hint. So, where do you live now, Elder?" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Elder Yuan smiled and shook his head, "With so many questions at once, how do I answer?"

"Then don’t answer yet. Come to my house, we can talk over dinner..." Chuxia looked seriously at the old man, "You can’t refuse. This is a welcome feast for you."

"Sure, how could I refuse a free meal?" The old man said as he stood up, "Let’s go. If Zhou Mikang knows I’ve left his wife hungry, he won’t give me a good face regardless of my age."

Chuxia felt exasperated; the image of the Division Commander in everyone’s mind was truly frustrating...

As they left the door, Yang Xiaoli gently tugged on Chuxia’s sleeve, "I’ll not be going." Chuxia glared at her, "It’s a welcome feast for Elder Yuan tonight; you’d feel okay not going?"

"But it’s not right to keep running to your house for meals..." Yang Xiaoli looked at Wu Jingbo and Lin Mengran, Li Xinli, "What do you guys think?"

"Go, it’s not the day to be polite..." Wu Jingbo nodded towards Elder Yuan, whispering, "Do you want the old man to misunderstand that we don’t like him?" (To be continued.
