"Nobita, why are you up so early today? You actually came to school on time; you've improved. I'm impressed with you."
As Hiro and Nobita were about to enter the school, a sweet and soft voice suddenly came from behind.
Looking in the direction of the voice, it was a beautiful little loli, standing there with a surprised expression, her spiritual big eyes looking at Nobita and the stranger beside him.
She was wearing a pure white short skirt with a pink collar, carrying a pink backpack, her smooth face was rosy and tender, and her small short legs walked steadily beneath her skirt.
It turned out to be Tian Mei, Shizuka. When she got closer, Hiro could still smell a fresh scent on her, a pleasant aroma unique to a budding lotus.
"Oh, it's Shizuka!"
"Actually, coming to school early sometimes isn't that hard. I won't be late anymore."
Facing his beloved goddess, Nobita naturally had to make a good impression, patting his chest in assurance.
Coming to school on time is merely a student's duty, but when applied to different people, its meaning varies greatly.
"Really? Then I'll look forward to it."
After hearing Nobita's promise, Shizuka covered her mouth and chuckled softly.
Even though she was a bit skeptical, she didn't expose him on the spot. She still hoped that Nobita could truly do it.
They were all good friends, and the girl naturally hoped her friend could become better.
"Oh, by the way, Nobita, who is this boy next to you?"
Shizuka looked at Nobi Hiroshi curiously. For no other reason, what attracted her at first sight was his appearance; she felt that even Demusugi, the prince of the class, was far inferior.
"He's my cousin, Nobi Hiroshi. Because his parents passed away, he came to live with us and will be studying here from now on."
Nobita rattled on, eager to show off in front of Shizuka, a bit carried away.
But after he finished speaking, he immediately regretted it.
He saw that Shizuka's attention was completely drawn away, not caring about him at all.
"Hello, Hiro-kun."
"Hello, Shizuka-chan. You're just as cute as I remembered."
Nobi Hiroshi mumbled the last sentence, expressing his feelings from seeing her on screen in his previous life.
However, Shizuka accidentally heard the word "cute," and the girl's ears immediately turned red.
Little girls are still more prone to shyness, especially with direct compliments from unfamiliar peers.
But she didn't dwell on it too much, just felt a little sympathy for the new classmate's situation and decided to help him more in the future.
"Damn it, Hiro, that guy, he's chatting so well with Shizuka."
Feeling ignored, Nobita was a little jealous. She was going to be his wife in the future, how could she chat with other people?
Frowning, Nobita rudely cut between the two, while also finding an excuse.
"Hurry up, stop chatting, we're going to be late!"
"Right, I almost forgot! Well, Hiro-kun, I'll take you to the teacher's office to report. You must not know where the office is since you just woke up today."
"Alright, then I'll trouble you."
Nobi Hiroshi didn't pay much attention to Nobita's childish antics.
Actually, he didn't have many thoughts about Shizuka right now, but it might be different in the future, after all, it was a unique sentiment.
Nobita could only swallow his frustration as he watched Nobi Hiroshi being led to the office by Shizuka. He shouldn't have been so impulsive just now; the situation seemed to have gotten worse.
… …
… …
"Dong dong dong dong ~"
As the bell rang, the classroom, which had been as noisy as a market, instantly quieted down. Even Nobita sat up straight.
The teacher's authority was simply every student's nightmare.
A strict middle-aged man in a brown suit with a center part walked into the front door of the classroom, his expression stern without needing to be angry.
Behind him followed a slightly younger boy, who was, of course, our Nobi Hiroshi.
Hiroshi looked at Terakoya Eiichirou's strict demeanor, no wonder Nobita was so scared.
"Today, I'd like to introduce a new classmate to everyone. This classmate is named Nobi Hiroshi. I hope everyone will take good care of him and get along peacefully in the future."
The teacher looked at the students below the podium, his expression still gentle as he welcomed the new classmate.
Nobi Hiroshi gave a simple self-introduction, and the audience immediately began to whisper.
Nothing else, just that the new classmate had the same name as Nobi Nobita. Looking at Nobita's expression, they must know each other.
"He has the same last name as Nobita! He couldn't be an idiot who only gets zero scores, could he?"
"Exactly, I think so too. What's the use of being handsome if he's still an idiot?"
"Wow, the new classmate is really good-looking! Sorry, Demusugi, my Prince Charming has changed."
"You can forget about it. I'm definitely going to be good friends with Hiroshi first."
The male and female students were divided into two factions, with varying opinions on Nobi Hiroshi. Clearly, everyone had lost their reason and their fundamental judgment of the situation.
"Quiet!"
Listening to the noise from below, Terakoya Eiichirou slammed the desk, and the classroom became exceptionally quiet again.
"Alright, nobi, you can find a seat now."
"Okay, Teacher, but can I sit next to that classmate? I feel that position is more suitable for me, and I can see the blackboard better for studying."
Nobi Hiroshi pointed to the seat next to Shizuka, but it was already occupied by a well-mannered boy.
"This…"
Hearing Nobi Hiroshi's request, the teacher was a bit troubled, but luckily, the considerate Demusugi spoke up.
"Teacher, I think the new classmate can sit in my seat. If it helps his studies improve, isn't that a good thing?"
The good-natured Demusugi immediately gave up his seat, thinking it was a very good suggestion.
Shizuka also thought there was no problem; being able to sit in this prime spot was a good thing for a student who loved to learn.
Indeed, Hiroshi is a proactive and progressive person.
"Thank you, classmate."
"No problem, it's only right for classmates to help each other. My name is Demusugi Hidetoshi, please take good care of me."
"Mm-hmm, please take good care of me from now on."
Demusugi's good impression of this polite new classmate doubled. He heard he was Nobita's cousin, but he looked much more reliable than Nobita, at least he was pleasing to the eye.
After the two shook hands, Demusugi packed his things and moved to the back row, while Hiroshi put down his backpack and sat next to Shizuka.
The eyes of the surrounding classmates all turned to Shizuka and Nobi Hiroshi. Both male and female students showed expressions of envy, jealousy, and hatred, especially Nobi Nobita, whose back molars were almost ground to dust.
Looking at Shizuka's somewhat shy appearance, he felt as if his head was being weighed down by something, making it hard to breathe.
Why didn't he think of this reason earlier? If he had, Shizuka's deskmate would have been him.
