Chapter 9 Snowfall visits the class
"A second time? Natsu-san went there before?" Yui Yuigahama was even more curious and moved a few more inches closer.
"You're too excited..." Xia Sheng stepped back a little and reminded him.
"Oh...sorry." Yui Yuigahama realized what was happening and sat back down, feeling a little embarrassed.
"I went there the day before, on Friday night."
"Friday night... I don't think anything happened to me that night?" Yui Yuigahama rested her fingers on her chin, tilting her head back to recall.
"Why are you asking me?"
"Hehe~" Yui Yuigahama chuckled foolishly.
"Did Xia go there alone on Friday night?"
"No, someone was with me," Xia Sheng said honestly, shaking his head.
"That is..."
Tap tap tap~
Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside, followed by a classmate walking in.
Good morning.
A boy came in and greeted them warmly.
"Good morning," Xia Sheng replied.
Good morning.
Yui Yuigahama gave a hasty reply, then sat up straight facing forward and whispered a message.
"We'll talk about it later."
"Okay." Xia Sheng nodded, then took out his textbook and began to study seriously.
I've been busy writing my novel these past few days, and I haven't made any progress in my studies at all.
He's supposed to be a top student, we can't let that go to waste.
The benefits of being a time traveler are quite good. He now has an exceptionally strong learning ability; he can memorize knowledge points at a glance and easily integrate them into his understanding.
Fortunately, it's only the first year of high school, so I haven't fallen behind in too many courses. And the knowledge from elementary and middle school isn't too difficult; I can remember it by reviewing it.
However, he didn't have any junior high school textbooks, so he had to borrow them from someone. The best candidate at the moment was Yui Yuigahama.
The two can now be described as partners who have gone through thick and thin together.
Natsumi didn't know if he could borrow it from Yukino Yukinoshita, but the two of them had never met in real life, so the possibility was slim.
In Japan, classes start very late, and there's no morning self-study session. The first class doesn't start until after 8 a.m.
Xia Sheng read for a while before the other students arrived in the class one after another, and as if they had made an appointment, they all arrived very quickly.
"Yui? Why are you here so early today?" Miura Yumiko was surprised to see Yui Yuigahama already in her seat when she arrived at the classroom.
She remembered that since the start of the semester, Yui Yuigahama had always arrived later than her.
"Ah... um... I got up a little early today." Yui Yuigahama clearly made up an excuse.
Yumiko Miura didn't think much of it. She even joked with a smile, "Could it be that you're interested in Natsu-kun and want to see him as soon as possible?"
"N-No, that's not how it is!" Yui Yuigahama hurriedly denied, her face flushed.
"Hehe~ I was just kidding, why are you so excited?"
"Um... I was afraid Natsu would misunderstand." Yui Yuigahama glanced at Natsu.
"Really? Xia-kun might be very happy?"
"Good morning, Miura-san." Natsuo put down his book and greeted her.
Good morning. So, what are your thoughts?
"That's true. Yuihama is so cute. If she came earlier to see me, I would definitely be happy," Natsuo said truthfully.
"Cute!?" Yui Yuigahama was stunned.
"Did you hear that, Yui? Natsume said you're cute."
"Miura-kun is cute too," Natsuo said calmly.
"I...you, are you really the type to say whatever comes to mind?" Miura Yumiko was embarrassed by what she was being said.
"I'm just telling the truth."
"You...you might be dangerous."
"Hmm?" Xia Sheng looked at her in confusion.
"Figure it out yourself!" Miura Yumiko turned her head away, her blonde hair tossing as she looked angry.
"..."
Xia Sheng didn't understand what she meant, so he continued reading.
Of course, people come to school to attend classes and study diligently. No one can have ulterior motives, right?
The first class in the morning was Japanese history, which was the subject Xia Sheng needed to memorize the most, as he knew absolutely nothing about the history of this region.
Fortunately, it was something he had to memorize by rote, and his memory is very strong now.
However, while flipping through the textbook, he discovered many things that were not right and contradicted his understanding.
Xia Sheng had also read many anime and novels about the history of Japan, and he remembered them very clearly, but what appeared in the textbook was completely different from what he remembered.
Most importantly, many places have changed their names, but Tokyo, where we stand, remains unchanged.
But that's not right. Come to think of it, Yukino Yukinoshita and the others shouldn't be here in the first place.
Is it because the world was invaded?
Or is it because this is a mixed world, so there are many changes?
Xia Sheng didn't understand, but it was a good thing for him. With everyone gathered together, he could meet more people.
The Japanese history class passed peacefully, and the second class was Japanese language class. Natsuo saw Hiratsuka Shizuka again after two days.
However, she seemed to be in a good mood today. She didn't target him or ask him any questions, and the class ended quickly.
"Phew—" As Hiratsuka Shizuka strode away from the classroom, Natsuo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He couldn't help but feel anxious during his class, after all, his grades were questionable.
"Xia-kun, you seem... to be very afraid of Hiratsuka-sensei?" Miura Yumiko noticed his behavior.
"Miura-kun, just call me by my name. I feel awkward hearing 'Natsu-kun'."
"Really? I'll just call you Natsumi?" Miura Yumiko said without any politeness.
"Okay, that's good. Please call me that too, Yuihama-san."
"Eh? I... um..." Yui Yuigahama looked at Yumiko Miura.
"Let's just call him that. After all, Natsumi is of mixed race, and that's how they usually address each other over there," said Miura Yumiko.
"I see... Then... Natsuo?" Yui Yuigahama stammered.
"Okay, that works." Xia Sheng nodded in satisfaction.
"But you can still call us by our original names," Miura Yumiko added.
"I don't care."
"That's strange... Oh right, you haven't answered my question yet." Miura Yumiko remembered and continued to ask.
"Ah, I am indeed a little afraid of Hiratsuka-sensei."
"Huh? Why?"
"I offended her on Friday when I came to report for duty, and we had a small argument."
"A minor conflict?"
"that is......"
"Hey! Look over there!"
"That's not..."
Why did she come to our class? Was she looking for someone?
"She is indeed very beautiful, a flower on a high mountain."
"Keep your voice down!"
"Um?"
The classroom suddenly erupted in noise. Xia Sheng glanced around and noticed that everyone was excitedly looking at the back door. He followed their gaze and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
A beautiful figure walked in through the back door; she was so aloof and independent.
"Yukinoshita? What's she doing here?" Miura Yumiko frowned when she saw her, clearly in a bad mood.
"So beautiful!" Yui Yuigahama exclaimed sincerely.
Xia Sheng had a vague guess, and then his gaze met Yukino Yukinoshita's again, confirming it now.
Yukino Yukinoshita walked straight toward Natsuo with steady steps, ignoring the gazes of those around her, until she stopped in front of him.
As soon as she stopped, Xia Sheng felt the gazes of everyone in the class converge on him, a feeling even heavier than the day he transferred schools.
"Xia, classmate."
Yukino Yukinoshita spoke, staring at Natsuo, her cherry blossom-like lips parted slightly, her voice clear and proud.
"Could you come with me?"
