Chapter 45, the first day of school

"This painting is a little too abrupt. Why is there a back view of a landscape painting?" Mu Ziyu thought that it was a little strange, and Shuishui looked at the painting differently.

"Hehe. This painting . . . I don't know. My teacher scolded me for ruining the painting with this back view." Shuishui was also helpless. In fact, she did not do it on purpose. She just wanted to give it a try and realized that it did not work aesthetically.

They went out and sat down to chat for a while. It got late, so Shuishui sent them home. Besides, she did not have anything at home and could not properly entertain the two of them. Also, she and Mu Zilin agreed to meet the next day. They would meet five days a week in school.

Shuishui tidied up the things she bought. When she was done, she began to practice her calligraphy.

The time passed until it was ten o'clock. She felt a little hungry, so she took out a snow pear from the fridge and began to eat.

After she ate, she took a shower and then looked at the time. She had to be in school the next day by eight o'clock. It was neither early nor late, so she decided to rest early.

The school uniform looked pretty good. Shuishui, however, didn't like to wear skirts, so when she bought the school uniform, she chose long pants. There were two types of long pants—one for girls in winter and one for boys in summer. Naturally, she wanted the boys' summer pants, as it also suited her better.

The next day, the alarm rang.

Shuishui turned off the alarm and lazed in bed for three minutes before she got up. She looked around, yawned, got out of bed, moved her shoulders and neck, and then went to wash her face and brush her teeth.

She moved quickly. After washing up, she changed into the school uniform. The pants made Shuishui look taller. She wore a white shirt with it, and the look made her feel confident.

She brought her school bag, which contained a notebook and a box of pens. She then took her keys and left.

She lived next to the school, so it was very convenient. She walked all the way to the school and arrived at the entrance of the third high school. Shuishui looked at the list of names, which were assigned to classes. Shuishui looked for her name. She also looked for Mu Zilin's name. Soon, she found their names under Class 13. They were very lucky to be in the same class. She thought that they would be in different classes in high school.

They were in the same class. What luck.

Shuishui shook her head and went to look for Class 13. She looked at the big map. The freshmen were in Building No. 2, Class 13. There were no other details. She found Building No. 2 and found their class on the third floor. She walked to the door and looked inside. There were a few people sitting and chatting inside. She went in and found a seat by the window at the back.

A few young girls gathered together and introduced themselves. They started to ask each other about their middle school exam scores, and soon it sounded like they were bragging about their scores.

Shuishui's arrival naturally attracted their attention. After all, Shuishui was quite good-looking and was very well-dressed. It increased her favorability.

A girl took the initiative to talk to Shuishui. "My name is Mu Qing. What's your name?"

"Qian Shuishui." Shuishui did not put on a cold face and instead replied with a faint smile.

"Qian Shuishui. Your name is very special. I heard that the food in this school's cafeteria is very delicious. Let's go together at noon." The girl invited Shuishui enthusiastically. Shuishui nodded and said, "Sure, but I have a friend who will come with me."

"En, en, let's go together. It'll be more lively with more people." This girl was very lively when she was in junior high school. She had been looking forward to high school. She had gotten into a conflict with many of her friends in junior high school, and they hadn't reconciled yet, so she decided that she should look for a good friend in high school. As soon as Shuishui entered, she felt that she was a good person, so she took the initiative and introduced herself.

Shuishui also answered her in a very friendly manner. She did not pretend to be cold, because she felt all right with it.

The girl sat next to Shuishui. "Then I'll sit here."

"Sit down. You can sit anywhere when classes have just started." Shuishui smiled gently.

"I'm so nervous. It feels different from middle school." She sat down and looked around.

Shuishui nodded and smiled. "It's okay. Relax a little. All of us don't know each other, so you know that everyone feels the same. Think of that, and you won't be nervous."

"Wow. You're so calm. Although I know this, I still can't help but be nervous." She had no choice.

Shuishui didn't say anything more. After all, she couldn't solve other people's anxiety.

Mu Zilin's arrival immediately attracted the attention of all the girls. After all, he was a handsome man, and he also looked very good when he smiled. He entered the classroom and looked around first. Then he found Shuishui and walked over to her in big strides. He sat directly in front of Shuishui because the seat next to her was already taken. "Shuishui, have you had breakfast?"

"I drank a cup of milk." Shuishui had warmed up a cup of milk that morning before she went out.

Mu Zilin took out a donut and a bottle of lemon tea from his bag. "En, I've prepared it for you."

"Thank you," Shuishui said with a smile.

"If you want to thank me, make me breakfast!" Mu Zilin blinked and teased Shuishui.

Shuishui nodded. "Sure. However, I only cook light foods."

"It's okay. I'll eat whatever you make." Mu Zilin waved his hand. He was not a picky person. Compared to Shuishui, he was much better.

Mu Qing looked at how the two friends interacted. "You two are lovers?"

"Bah!" This was from Mu Zilin.

"No!" This was from Qian Shuishui.

They had responded at the same time. They completely denied it.

Shuishui explained, "We're just good friends, not lovers. We don't look like lovers."

Mu Zilin nodded and agreed. "However, we are indeed childhood sweethearts."

Mu Qing looked at them enviously. It was rare to have such a handsome male friend.
