Chapter 10: Desk Mate Fan Xia

New semester, new vibe.

Refusing Comrade Ning Jianguo's request to personally escort him to school, Ning Xiaobei, dressed in elementary school uniform, carried his backpack and walked into the No. 4 Elementary School, just across the road from Jiande Lane.

A few days ago, when he returned to school to pick up books, Ning Xiaobei wandered around for a long time before finding his classroom, arriving late directly. Fortunately, he wasn't the only confused child. Standing in the corridor, the homeroom teacher, Teacher Qiu, recognized him and took him back to the classroom.

Teacher Qiu was a kind and gentle old lady, around fifty years old, speaking softly and kindly. She didn't seem like a teacher but more like a grandmother, and students liked to be around her. If Ning Xiaobei weren't already in his thirties in his heart, he would have wanted to hold Teacher Qiu's hand.

Sitting at his desk, listening to the almost ear-splitting screams around him, and watching the energetic children who hardly ever calmed down, Ning Xiaobei sighed for the nth time in frustration.

The thing he feared most in his life was children.

Whether it was eating or occasionally taking the bus, he always avoided families with children. Now, surrounded by elementary school students, he felt like he was in a noisy hell.

As the bell for class rang, the previously boisterous classroom finally quieted down.

Ning Xiaobei removed the paper balls from his ears and watched as Teacher Qiu walked in with a gentle breeze, accompanied by a defiant-looking child.

"Hey, who is he?"

"Is he a transfer student?"

"Why isn't he wearing a school uniform?"

"Why is he so dark? Is he African?"

"Do Africans speak Chinese?"

Seeing this unfamiliar child, the classroom immediately erupted into discussions. Teacher Qiu clapped her hands forcefully to silence the chatter.

"Students, this is our new classmate, Fan Xia. He transferred to our class this semester. Let's welcome him."

The elementary students were good at showing enthusiasm. As soon as Teacher Qiu finished speaking, the children began to clap.

Except for one person.

It was Ning Xiaobei, the class monitor of Class Four, Grade Five, sitting in the last row.

"Fan Xia..."

Watching the dark-skinned boy walking straight towards the empty seat next to him, Ning Xiaobei thought to himself, 'The inevitable has finally arrived.'

Fan Xia walked up to him and threw his backpack onto the desk.

"Hmph!"

Before Ning Xiaobei could even greet him, the dark-skinned boy proudly lifted his chin, showing off his two outstanding nostrils to Ning Xiaobei.

To assert dominance over his new desk mate, Fan Xia, as soon as he sat down, took out an art knife and drew a line across the desk, creating a "38th Parallel" between them.

Of course, Fan Xia wasn't being polite at all. His 38th Parallel almost exceeded one-third of the midpoint, barely leaving enough space for Ning Xiaobei's arms.
