Chapter 426 Entering Junior High School
The years do not live, the seasons flow.

Xia Yu looked at himself in the mirror wearing the first-year junior high school uniform of Youzhi Middle School, and felt very emotional.

Three years have passed since I came to Tomoeda Town. I came here in the fourth grade, and now I have been promoted to junior high school without realizing it.

Looking back, it seems like it was not long ago that it was the sixth grade Polygonum multiflorum festival.

As a result, with the turn of the page, sixth grade ended.

Time is really a strange thing. When you pay attention to it, it seems to be moving very slowly, but when you occasionally look back at the past, you realize that so much time has slipped away quietly.

Three years passed, and it has been more than six years since he came to this world. Although his past memories have not faded, they have long been replaced by new memories. Now he rarely recalls the past.

Especially now that he has a girlfriend, he has been dating Tomoyo for two years without realizing it, from being shy and nervous in the beginning to being very familiar with her now.

Thinking back on the past six years, Xia Yu reached out and patted his face. When did he become so sentimental?

This won’t do. He is still young. Junior high school means a new beginning. He has to show his sunny and cheerful side to his new classmates.

It starts from today, the first day of school!
Youzhi Middle School, at the school gate.

The shadows of the trees are mottled, and the pink cherry blossoms all over the sky are dancing and falling like snow, adding a bit of gentleness to the already lively first day of school.

"Good morning, Xia Jun."

Under the cherry tree, Chiyo, wearing her middle school uniform, waved to Xia Yu and said good morning with a smile.

"Morning."

After returning the greeting, Xia Yu asked curiously, "Are you waiting for me here?"

"Yes, because I want to walk into the classroom with Xia Jun. Once we step into the classroom, we will no longer be elementary school students, but junior high school students."

Zhishi smiled sweetly, but after she finished speaking, she noticed that Xia Yu seemed to be looking at her, and she tilted her head with some curiosity.

"What's wrong?"

“It’s just some emotion.”

Xia Yu shook her head, her eyes softened, and she said as if recalling a memory: "I just remembered the first time I saw you. It was also the first day of school, but you were just a little girl at that time."

"now what?"

Hearing Xia Yu's words, Zhishi's eyes curved, and he smiled and moved closer to Xia Yu and asked.

"Now……"

Xia Yu was not to be outdone. He moved closer to Zhishi and looked into his eyes. After dating for so long, he was no longer the shy person he used to be.

"She's still just a little girl now, hahaha——"

Hearing this, Zhishi puffed up his cheeks unhappily, raised his fist and lightly hit Xia Yu, and replied: "Not a little girl."

"Yes, yes, how could Miss Tomoyo be a little girl? Please forgive me."

Xia Yu reached out and held Zhishi's puffy little face, rubbed it, then took her hand and walked towards the school.

"Come on, let's go to the classroom first."

"Ok!"

The classroom is for Class 2, Grade 1. Compared with the classroom I used to use in elementary school, it seems smaller and more compact.

However, it may also be because the students have grown up. After all, the middle school uniforms no longer have white round hats, which made Xia Yu a little uncomfortable for a while.

How come such a cute white beanie suddenly disappeared?

In addition to this change, the school uniform as a whole has become more formal, becoming a double-breasted suit style.

This junior high school uniform is completely different from the one he remembers. The junior high school uniforms in his memory are either bright red or bright blue.

Although it is incredibly ugly, it is comfortable to wear. Although the formal school uniform of Tomoeda Junior High School looks good, it is a bit too formal to wear.

As time passed, more and more students came into the classroom. Because there were some new classmates that I didn't know, the classroom was quite lively.

"Good morning, Tomoyo, Natsu-san."

"Good morning, Sakura."

"Morning."

I don’t know if it’s because today is the first day of school, but Sakura didn’t enter the classroom on time, but arrived in the classroom early, which is rare.

After saying hello, she hurried to the seat with her name on it and sat down. Her seat here was in the back row, just like when she was in elementary school.

It just changed from the second to last row to the last row, but nothing else changed. Next to her was still Chise, and in front of Chise was Xia Yu.

"I'm so glad that I'm sitting next to Tomoyo again."

Tomoyo, who was standing next to him, heard what Sakura said, turned her head and smiled, "Me too." "This is the protagonist's law. As the saying goes, the back row is by the window, the hometown of the king. Sakura, you are the Rose Emperor of Rome, so naturally you will sit in the king's seat."

Xia Yu, who was sitting in front of Tomoyo, heard the conversation between the two, turned around and looked at Sakura, and said seriously.

"Uh hehe... Xia classmate, you really haven't changed at all."

Xiaoying smiled awkwardly. Since elementary school, Xia Yu has been saying that she is the Rose Emperor of the Roman Empire or something like that, and he still says that now.

During this period, she also asked what this meant, but Xia Yu just said mysteriously that this was the so-called voice actor meme.

However, she had no idea what the voice actor meme was, so she just let it go.

"But it's lucky that Xia happens to be sitting with us."

"Lucky..."

Xia Yu's eyes were dim. If he hadn't done something secretly, he might have been transferred to the next class by now, let alone sitting in front of Zhishi.

The composition of the new class was already full of uncertainty, and thanks to the fact that he had anticipated this, he was able to successfully sit back next to Tomoyo.

However, Sakura did not hear the hidden meaning of Xia Yu's words, and still nodded happily and said: "Of course I'm lucky, because in the new class, apart from you and Tomoyo, only Chiharu is still in the same class."

"Naoko and Yamazaki both went to the next class, but they are still in the same school. It's a pity that Rika went to another school, so we can't meet often."

"Rika..."

When Xia Yu heard Sakura mention this name, he recalled the girl with slightly curly hair who always had a gentle smile on her face. It was a pity that the original Five Beauties of Tomoeda had now become the Four Beauties of Tomoeda.

"But even though Lijia has gone to another school, we can still contact each other via email and phone, and we can still go out together if we have the chance."

Tomoyo nodded in agreement with what Sakura said, "That's right."

"Students, please return to your seats. Classes are officially starting today."

Just as they were chatting, a short-haired teacher wearing glasses walked in and smiled at the students who were still chatting in the class.

"Yes!"×N
After hearing the teacher's words, the students who were originally standing around chatting, immediately sat back in their seats.

After everyone was seated, the teacher came to the podium and said, "Everyone has just entered junior high school. If you have any questions or worries, please come to me, the homeroom teacher, or Mr. Mori, the deputy homeroom teacher."

The deputy head teacher who followed in also smiled at the students.

"Yes!"×N
Looking at the energetic students in front of him, the head teacher smiled and said, "Then let's introduce ourselves first. After all, there are still some classmates in the class that we don't know each other yet."

After hearing what the teacher said, the students in the class had different expressions. The extroverted students looked excited, as if they could no longer contain themselves, while the introverted students blushed and seemed a little nervous and shy.

At this moment, a certain social terrorist had strode to the podium, clapped his hands on the desk, and introduced himself in a very loud voice.

"Hello everyone! I am honored to be in the same class with you all. In order to let you all remember me as your junior high school classmate forever, let me introduce myself first!!"

After that, under the surprised and even admiring gazes of all the classmates, the socially anxious person slid out a piece of chalk and wrote two artistic Chinese characters on the blackboard in a flamboyant manner.

"My name is Xia Yu. From the day I was born, I knew that I was destined to be the one who bears the name of China and rules the universe!"

Classmates: (⊙o⊙)
Sakura, Chiharu: (⊙x⊙;)
Chiyo: ╮(ω)╭

"As the saying goes, if I were not born, the world would be dark forever. My existence is as dazzling as the brilliant sun. If any of you are aliens, people from the future, people from another world, or people with super powers, you can come and seek my help!"

At this point, Xia Yu smiled and said, "Of course, ordinary people can do it too. After all, everyone is equal under the sun, and the sun shines on everyone regardless of their status. It's always the same!"

"Thank you everyone, my introduction is over."

Bang bang bang——!
As soon as Xia Yu finished speaking, there was silence for a few seconds, and then Zhishi started to applaud first. Hearing the applause, others also reacted and applauded quickly.

As the applause rang out, the head teacher gradually came back to her senses. She adjusted her crooked glasses and forced a smile, "Very interesting self-introduction, but Xia, you don't need to be so... um, excited when introducing yourself."

"no!!"

As soon as the head teacher finished speaking, Xia Yu shook his head and retorted: "If I don't show off my personality, how would the world know that I am sunny and cheerful and like to help others."

"Ah this..."

The head teacher was stunned. Was his understanding of being sunny and cheerful wrong? Or did today's students think that this was the sunny and cheerful personality?
But there was at least one thing she was very clear about: she probably would never forget this classmate.

Maybe every time she asks new students to introduce themselves in the future, she will think of Xia Yu who compared herself to the sun.

After a moment of distraction, the head teacher quickly came back to his senses, coughed and said, "Okay, okay, then Xia, you can go down first. We still have to continue the self-introduction."

"Yes!"

Xia Yu nodded, and without any embarrassment, he faced everyone's mixed gazes and strode forward.

After he sat back in his seat, the head teacher continued, "Okay, who wants to introduce themselves next?"
