Chapter 6 - First Day At School!

By the time Yan Shu reached home, it was already dark. She went straight to her room and washed up. Shortly after, dinner was delivered to her room since none at home were present.

A week past by. In the past few days she rested well, got familiar with the villa and the servants. She spent more time with her godparents and cousin and grandpa.

Finally it's the first day of another week as well as the day she was scheduled to go to school.

She actually wanted to go alone but the old Master had been persistent on going with her that she had no choice but to agree.

Yan Shu woke up early and took a shower. Then she put on a black high-low loose fitted knee length shirt dress that accentuated her skinny figure as well as her long legs and fair skin. She matched it with a pair of Black open toe flats radiating a teen girl next door aura.

When old Master Su saw her coming down, he smiled brightly. His eyes tinted making his wrinkles around the eyes more visible. He was so ecstatic today that he felt like he had never felt this happy before.

" let's have breakfast." They both had breakfast then headed out.

Ling Mo stopped the car infront of the school gate.

Two men came to recieve them as they stepped out.

" Xiao Liu,I've told you there's no need to come recieve me personally." Old Master Su's voice softened looking at one of the two men, who seems to be in his 30s.

" Master, it's no trouble but a blessing to be able to meet you. I was too impatient to see you." The man responded with a huge smile on his face.

" You are still a sweet talker. No wonder the school's prestige elevated more after you took over." The smile on old Master Su's face broadened hearing the man's word.

"ALL thanks to Master for bringing me to the right path when I was lost." He smiled winsomely looking at Old Master Su.

"You are the capable one. I just pushed you abit. Enough with these sweet talkies, let me introduce you to my granddaughter." Old Master Su pulled waved his hand to Yan Shu indicating her to come closer.

After stepping out from the other side, Yan Shu saw the old man conversing with two man. Hence, she did not walked up to them and instead stood by the car and started playing game.

She was playing among us, which she recently found very interesting. But she rarely gets to become an imposter. When the old Master Su called her, she just started a new match and even became the imposter after playing as a team member for many times and completing all the teamwork just to get killed by imposters. Hence, her face turned gloomy for a moment before she headed over to where the old Master and the others were.

"Mo Ran, this is Principal Liu also an ex-student of your grampy. And this is....." He stopped talking as he glanced at the another man standing beside Principal Liu with a questioning look.

" OH.. sorry. I was so entranced seeing Master that I forgot to introduce him. This is Teacher Yu. He is the class teacher of second year class A. " Principal Liu gave a sorry look to the man beside him. After all he completely ignored him after seeing Old Master Su.

"Hello, Principal. Hello, Teacher Yu. I am Mo Ran." Yan Shu bowed to her two teachers.

Actually she had already met them before when she was Yan Shu. She was invited as a chief guest in their annual programme, when one of her movie called "The survival of Li Zhikuan", a story of a patriot woman who fought in the war alongside others and lost her life,sore to rise, breaking records on the film industry. It was about a woman named Li Zhikuan. The woman and her family migrated abroad when she was a child. As she grew up she achieved extraordinary results that she was offered spectacular jobs there. But her love for her native country made her leave all those temptations and return to country. The country was in turmoil at that time. There was shrieking sobs everywhere, cries for hunger and life. The story portrays how Li Zhikuan came back to her country and helped people and along with her people she fought in the revolutionary War contributing in the victory.

Her film won many awards in home country and was even nominated in Cannes Movie festival. The Govt. then made it compulsory for high schoolers to must watch this movie in purpose to raise patriotism in the young kids of the country for the better future. Hence many prestigious school of Imperial Capital as well as few other cities invited her to watch it with them together and Jing Ling No.1 capital high school was one of them. She never imagined that she will become a student of this school one day.

"Let's head in." Teacher Yu led the way with Old Master Su and Principal Liu followed behind, two of them chatting happily as they walked and finally Yan Shu behind all of them walking slowly accompanied by Ling Mo who kept a stern face all the way here.

The school corridors and halls were empty as the first class of the day was taking place.

They entered the principal's office. Her admission process went smoothly and along with Teacher Yu , Yan Shu headed to her appointed classroom leaving Old Master Su in the principal's office with Ling Mo on guard.

In Year 2 class A room

"I heard there will be a new student coming to our class today. Rumor has it that she was homeschooled and a genius." Cheng Han whispered to his desk mate as he put down the book from Huan Shi's hand forcibly trying to divert his attention.

Huan Shi pulled up his book again and focused on the class giving no attention to Cheng Han's words.

Huan Shi and Cheng Han were classmates since elementary school, also childhood friends contributed from their mothers being best friends. While Huan Shi was a bookworm, Cheng Han was just a playful boy who did not care much about his studies. He'd rather gossip than studying something. Every week their seats were altered and they were designated to the last bench of middle row this week, an advantage to Cheng Han who got time to sneak into playing games during class while Huan Shi had no interest in anything except studying books whole day.

Getting no response from his friend, Cheng Han poked another student beside him from the other row and spilled the news that he collected after a much painful effort from the teacher's room.

"Really? Then do you think she'll surpass Qiuqiu?" The boy said in a low voice that only the two can hear.

"Nah!! How can she? She haven't even competed with anyone else before, how can you say she's a genius?" Another boy chided. He overheated their conversation and chimed in.

"Definitely. Our Qiuqiu has always been the second of our grade in our whole school over these all years and first among the girls. If not Huan Shi being a bookworm she would have long surpassed him. " The former boy retorted.

"You are actually right but we should not be so definite of the future. I don't expect her to be genius but rather pretty. I am so bored watching same girls since middle school. I hope I can finally witness a fresh beauty this time." Cheng Han was a fan of webnovels with dashing and intelligent female characters. Hence, he did not give much thought to academics and was rather excited to see her..

As Cheng Han and few others were debating about how the girl would be like, Teacher Yu entered the classroom..

"I have an important news to announce today. A new student will be joining us today. She was homeschooled and today is her first day of high school. I hope you all will take care of your little friend. Now, let's welcome our new friend.." He called Yan Shu over and told her to introduce herself. .

Yan Shu walked up to the class podium and lifted her face showing a glistening smile and said, "Hello, everyone, I am Mo Ran, your new classmate."

The class fell into a silence when they saw a fair delicate girl entering the classroom. Their eyes widened as they never expected to see such a gorgeous timid girl in their lifetime. They watched quietly as the girl's hair blew abit from the wind howling through the windows. Her tiny face was so fair and smooth that they had the urge to go up and caress them, her long eyelashes moved with her eyelids as she rolled them, her slender fingers clutching her tiny black backpack's belts.

"Okay, you can take your seat now. Feel free to sit in any of the three empty seats." Teacher Yu was the first one to come back to his senses as he was also stumped seeing her as he did not expect her to only say her name.

Yan Shu walked past the first rows, second rows before finally stopping at the last row and pulling out a chair from the bench beside the windows. Yan Shu did not think so much before choosing the last seat. She had always loved quietness and the seat she chose had a desk mate who seems to be in a deep sleep, she neither wanted to get attention by sitting in the front row nor wanted to be surrounded by chatters by sitting in the middle row. Hence, the last bench made perfect sense to her with a suitable deskmate. After all, she doesn't even need the class lectures.

After sitting down, she took out her wireless earphones before connecting them to her phone and falling asleep.

The whole class watched her seating in the last bench and fall asleep and were stunned once again.

' What an aura of the genius student!' They all thought unanimously.
