Chapter 496: Chapter 496: The Classmates are so Enthusiastic

When this episode was airing on television, Little Taotie and Hua Jinyan had already slung their backpacks and started their first day of school.

Little Taotie’s eyes were filled with curiosity. She looked around, occasionally lowering her voice to mutter in Hua Jinyan’s ear, “This playground is so big! And there are basketball hoops!”

“Hua Jinyan, look quickly, there’s a sandbox over there!”

“Can we play in the sand here?”

Little Taotie, with her little backpack, ran towards the sandbox, but just as she was about to jump in, Hua Jinyan grabbed her backpack, and the little one, having just leaped, was yanked back.

Little Taotie blinked her innocent eyes, looking bewildered at him, “I wanted to play in the sand, why did you hold me back?”

“Classes are about to start. On your first day of school, do you want to be late?”

“I almost forgot!”

Little Taotie grinned, a goofy smile broadening across her face, her dimples shallow, “From now on, we’re classmates. Please guide me well, Classmate Hua!”

Seeing her staring at him with wide eyes, Hua Jinyan, helpless, could only reply, “Classmate Tao, please guide me well.”

Little Taotie was satisfied, her eyes crinkling as she patted her little chest, her face serious, “Don’t worry, I will definitely protect you!”

Hua Jinyan held his forehead, grabbed her backpack strap, and urged her forward, “Hurry, we’re really going to be late!”

“Ding-a-ling-ling!” The warning bell rang.

Little Taotie and Hua Jinyan were still in the hallway, not yet having reached the classroom.

Now Little Taotie was truly anxious. She grabbed Hua Jinyan’s hand and began to sprint the hundred meters to the classroom door, nearly colliding with the homeroom teacher standing there.

The homeroom teacher got a fright, hurriedly stabilizing the desperate Little Taotie and Hua Jinyan, sighing, “What’s the rush?”

“We’re going to be late!” Little Taotie lifted her head, her large eyes brimming with tears, “It’s over, it’s over, we’re going to be late on the first day of school, the teacher will definitely scold me!”

The homeroom teacher was a round-faced woman with a baby face, looking young like a recent college graduate, but she was actually a thirty-something woman with ten years of teaching experience.

She looked down, meeting Little Taotie’s big eyes, and was momentarily stunned.

Her heart felt as if it had been hit by a soft, sweet marshmallow.

Too cute!

She had already received notice that there would be a special student in the class.

It was a little celebrity. Of course, treatment had to be the same for all, no special privileges, but they had informed her just to be prepared to handle any emergencies.

Like now, some kids excitedly stood up, pointing at Little Taotie and shouting, “Zaizai! Zaizai! My mom is your mom’s fan! You are my long-lost little sister!”

“No way! Little Taotie is my little sister, my mom is her mom!”

“My mom is her mom!”

The classroom began to get a bit chaotic.

Teacher Yuan hurried onto the podium, “Quiet everyone! If you keep making noise, the disciplinary director will transfer our Little Taotie to another class.”

Although the kids present were only six or seven years old, each was as sharp as a tack, as getting into this primary school was notoriously difficult in the area.

In addition to moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and labor education, each child possessed a special skill, incredibly sharp-witted.

“Shush!”

“Don’t speak!”

“Right, right, we mustn’t cause a disturbance!”

“Little Taotie is our classmate; we can’t let another class take her away!”

“My mom already got the inside scoop, knew I’d be in the same class as Little Taotie, and even told me to ask her for an autograph! I can’t be separated from her in classes now!”

Little Taotie looked around, and each of her classmates seemed to have little flowers blooming above their heads, fluttering in the breeze, welcoming her, expressing their affection.

Little Taotie’s face blushed slightly, and she whispered to Hua Jinyan, “It seems like they all really like me.”
