The Lucky Farmgirl

Bai Shan looked at Wei Chen curiously for quite a while and finally dredged him from his memory of yesterday, so he was particularly curious as to how the two had managed to become friends in just one day?

However, that wasn’t important. What mattered was that this person seemed unaware that he was being targeted by the school official, to the extent that most of his classmates had also isolated him.

Bai Shanbao rolled his eyes and greeted Wei Chen warmly, "I don’t know where Brother Wei is from. My ancestors are from Longzhou, but I grew up in Mianzhou."

"Then we are both from the Jiannan Road," Wei Chen responded enthusiastically. He hadn’t had the chance to make friends since he enrolled yesterday, except for one classmate he shared a dorm with, and he didn’t know anyone else.

And that roommate wasn’t from their class C1, so...

Wei Chen introduced himself, "I come from Longzhou, which, incidentally, is not far from Mianzhou."

"Mm, it’s closer than to Mianzhou." Bai Shanbao looked at the books in his hand and asked, "Did Brother Wei skip class today to buy books?"

"Yes, and I owe it to Young Lady Zhou for helping me out, or I would probably have to spend another half day finding them tomorrow."

With a grin, Bai Shanbao said, "Actually, the teacher didn’t really teach much today. He just let us read and practice writing. There were other students from our class who didn’t come because they went to buy books too. I guess it will be another two or three days before classes officially start."

Truth be told, Wei Chen did breathe a sigh of relief.

Bai Shanbao invited him warmly to his house, saying, "My master once studied at the prefectural school and understands some matters better than most. If Brother Wei has any doubts, why not ask my master?"
