Chapter 411: Chapter 377: Entrance Ceremony

The security booth’s old man clearly didn’t realize the seriousness of the situation, he was still greeting people.

"Hello there, kiddo, you’re going to be late for school if you don’t hurry up."

Jiang Xiao responded with a sweet smile, stepping into the school gates with an easy stride.

There were a lot of students coming and going.

Everyone’s faces were brimming with the lively colors of youth, with many acquaintances laughing and horsing around together.

"Xiaozi! What are we going to do?"

Accompanied by a voice of utter despair, Jiang Xiao felt a weight on his back.

A chubby hand had wrapped around Jiang Xiao’s neck.

Had it been anywhere else, Jiang Xiao would have delivered a powerful elbow strike followed by a wrestling throw.

But... this seems to be a little fellow with no intention of harming him.

"Alas, having become a father, this exemplary feeling is truly unbearable~"

He didn’t only feel embarrassed about hitting a classmate, even the thought of blowing up the school felt a bit unworkable for Jiang Xiao.

What if he really blew up the school?

What would Mu Xitang and Bai Yi do then?

That would really be the end of it...

"Dude, who are you?"

"Huh?"

The round-faced chubby kid was startled, then incredulously asked back.

"Me? Wang Qiang! Your neighbor Strong Boy, who you’ve played with since we were little. Didn’t we have a snowball fight just a few days ago, remember?"

Seeing Jiang Xiao’s still expressionless face, Wang Qiang murmured to himself.

"I admit I ate a little more after the New Year, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t recognize me, right?"

Okay, okay...

Not only had his body shrunk, but even the original owner’s memory hadn’t been arranged for him.

That being said.

Am I still myself?

Or did I travel into someone else’s body?

After briefly pondering, Jiang Xiao figured he probably hadn’t taken over someone else’s body.

First off, he could see from the reflection in the big iron gate that his current appearance was that of his younger self.

Secondly, if it was a time travel, why didn’t he have the original owner’s memories?

This wouldn’t make sense even in a novel.

So, this Wang Qiang must have, like the previous weirdness, had memories implanted in his brain that didn’t exist—meaning he didn’t actually know Jiang Xiao. The rules made him "remember" Jiang Xiao as a friend he had played with since childhood.

With no response from Jiang Xiao, Strong Boy couldn’t help but ask again.

"Hey, did you finish your winter homework?"

"You must have finished it! I knew it, you’re always like this! Otherwise, you wouldn’t be so cool! Oh my god!"

Looking at Wang Qiang’s face full of worldly sorrow, Jiang Xiao scratched the back of his head honestly.

୧(๑•̌～•̑) "Winter homework? Don’t know, I didn’t write it."

Huh?

The melon-faced Wang Qiang upon hearing this immediately grinned like a sunflower (sleazy version).

(#՞̫՞) "Oh ho, you haven’t finished it either?"

ʅ(･´‸･｀)ʃ "No, I’m not sure, to be precise, I probably didn’t write it."

Didn’t write it?!

Wang Qiang was stunned, then he kept backing up as if he couldn’t believe Jiang Xiao dared.

"Xiao, you didn’t write it? Aren’t you afraid of Master Extinction? She hits people so viciously!"

"By the way, you didn’t mistake winter homework for summer homework, did you? It’s not time to move up a grade yet, and besides, with Master Extinction’s temper, she might just move up with us..."

Strong Boy kept rambling on, stressing the severity of the matter.

Jiang Xiao listened, somewhat understanding, yet not entirely...

He’d never been to school before, so he didn’t know there were so many twists and turns to reading books and doing homework.

But it was also fortunate that this little fatty talked a lot, which allowed Jiang Xiao, who had no memory, to learn quite a bit.

He was a student in the second semester of the seventh grade.

Master Extinction was the homeroom teacher for Jiang Xiao and Wang Qiang, teaching language arts with a fierce and formidable approach.

The reason why the winter break homework had to be done was that when moving up from seventh grade to eighth grade, they would be promoted and the classes would be reshuffled.

That meant even if Master Extinction followed up, there was a very high chance of avoiding her...

"Can you believe that even a little holiday homework has such tricks behind it?"

"Yeah, right?"

Wang Qiang held his head up proudly and then asked uncertainly,

"But wait, Xiao, didn’t you tell me about this trick? Back in elementary school, thanks to this, we never did our summer homework, remember?"

"What?"

Jiang Xiao was shocked and felt that he wasn’t the kind of child who didn’t like studying.

In his heart, he just thought that because he grew up in a psychiatric hospital, he hadn’t had the opportunity to study.

If he had the chance to study, no kidding, taking on top universities like 985 and 211 would be a piece of cake, to say the least.

"What what? I still admire your bright ideas to this day. Pretending to fight when moving up a grade so we could 100 percent get into different classes and then..."

"Stop, stop, stop! Don’t talk about that bright idea anymore!"

Jiang Xiao quickly interrupted Wang Qiang.

If all went as expected, Mu Xitang and Bai Yi were watching the live broadcast, were they not? What if they learned it?

"Alright, alright, won’t talk about it. Do you want a bun? My mom bought too many."

"Yes."

He took a bite of the bun, hmm, it was soup-filled.

To avoid feeling too saturated, Jiang Xiao unceremoniously grabbed the unopened millet porridge that Wang Qiang had for a palate cleanser.

"Jiang Xiao, Wang Qiang! What are you two doing eating buns at the school gate? The new term assembly is about to start! If you’re late, I’ll definitely put both of your names down!"

A tall girl with a red scarf tied around her neck and a high ponytail frowned and looked at Jiang Xiao and Wang Qiang, her tone nearly scolding.

"This is..."

"Let’s go, let’s go, we’re going now!"

Before Jiang Xiao could ask, Wang Qiang had dragged him to the playground.

"That Xin Yi really gets on my nerves, always taking names. Master Extinction gave her a position on the discipline committee, and she acts like she’s holding the imperial sword."

Wang Qiang spoke in a tone filled with resentment... and grievance.

It was evident that he often stumbled over this discipline committee member, Xin Yi.

"Truly revolting."

Jiang Xiao concurred. After all, they were on the same student team; they should be united against Master Extinction.

No, no, no!

As an excellent successor to socialism, Jiang Xiao thought he shouldn’t harbor any thoughts of defying the teachers.

Lucky for him, he had Qiang. Otherwise, Jiang Xiao wouldn’t even know where the classroom was.

They had just stopped walking when they heard the complaints of their classmates.

"Are they out of their minds? Who would hold a mobilization meeting right before the start of a new term?"

"Damn, doing this in the midst of winter? Absolutely revolting."

"I’ve never heard of such a thing... it’d be fine to accept a mobilization meeting, but why can’t Master Extinction just talk in the classroom? Why do we have to come out to the big playground, jeez."

It was clear many people in the front rows were very displeased.

But the students in the back had a different mindset.

Even though they were similarly huddled and stamping feet to ward off the cold, they were enjoying themselves.

Many people, just like Jiang Xiao and the others, were having breakfast, with even more eating candies and spicy gluten strips.

"Let’s start, let it last the whole morning~"

"Heh heh heh, as long as there’s no class, I could stay here all day."

"Ugh, I haven’t finished my winter break homework yet~"
