Remember to do the exercises after class, and go out for a walk, catch a breeze, and wash your face to wake up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bald middle-aged teacher adjusted his black-framed glasses, scanning the listless students below him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quite understood the kids whose eyelids were battling sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the first class in the afternoon…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no lunch break in autumn and winter, it’s normal for students to feel sleepy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially in the high-pressure environment of high school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, today was much better than usual. Normally, over half the class would “go fishing” during class, nodding off, but today, although they were still drowsy, not many fell asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it was because it was the end of the month, and it was Friday, perfectly coinciding with the two-day big break of the month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged teacher didn’t linger in the classroom; he put down the infrared electronic pen, then picked up his lesson plan and the old glass thermos he had used for seven or eight years, and left the classroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the classroom door opened, a cold wind rushed in, acting like a wake-up call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Achoo——!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy sitting by the door sneezed instinctively, then deftly pulled a tissue from his deskmate’s table, as skillfully as an old man flipping pancakes at the market for decades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He blew his nose vigorously, earning an eye-roll of disdain from his deskmate:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bring your own next time!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it, got it. I’ll bring it next week, for sure, for sure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A series of apologetic chuckles followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just another ordinary daily conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The valuable break time had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some students couldn’t hold it any longer and collapsed onto their desks for a quick nap, while others, having held it for half a class, dashed out of the classroom, disappearing from sight…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, more students gathered in threes and fours, starting an ordinary yet slightly peculiar break “gathering.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s normal because it’s typical for the boys and girls to chat in groups during breaks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet it’s peculiar because as the first class after lunch in the autumn and winter, it shouldn’t be this lively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially with the heating on, making people feel lazy. Even if it’s the end of the month on a Friday, there should be many asleep…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But today, it was particularly different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have you connected to the internet? Have you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait… the speed is a bit slow. My phone is my dad’s old one, and the signal’s not great.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hurry up! There are two more people waiting after you! Why not refresh again? Try switching it to airplane mode and back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t rush… Wait, I’m on it… Okay, I’m in, I’m in! Hold on, let me register an official account first…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hurry! Hurry!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoa! How long has it been? Over ten million sign-ups already?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did you think this game was? This is ‘Elf Kingdom’!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Conversations like this could be heard all around the classroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was one tall and thin boy, playing with his phone, his gaze wandering leisurely throughout the classroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t be called handsome, but he was quite fair-skinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s often said that Tianchao’s school uniforms are a measure of attractiveness. Although the boy’s looks were average, he was quite a clothes horse, giving off a cheerful and energetic vibe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the anime-styled book covers and the cute decorations on his pencil case seemed a bit peculiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He occasionally stretched, shook his head, and hummed odd little tunes, seemingly in a great mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his classmates’ excited and expectant expressions, he couldn’t help but grin broadly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His slightly raised chin exuded a little pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the occasional glance around and his eyes shining, he seemed to say— “Come over and talk to me, someone come over and talk to me”…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until a small pale hand landed heavily on his shoulder:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xu Ge! Let me borrow your phone!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ouch!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy couldn’t help but cry out in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his head, rubbing his shoulder while looking at the pretty little face that was so close, and said sullenly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Zhao Linqian, can you please be gentler next time?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, not very tall, quite petite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her features weren’t exactly delicate, but she had a vibrant and approachable aura that gave her a girl-next-door charm, the kind that grows on you. Her simple bob haircut made her look even more lively and cute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She chuckled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, I’ve been hitting you since we were kids, just a habit… Ahem, alright, alright, I’ll be gentler next time, Brother Xu~ Quickly, give me your phone!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the latter part said in a somewhat coquettish tone, Xu Ge almost got goosebumps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By this time, the girl also saw the phone on his desk, and her eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She held onto his shoulder, quickly leaned over, and skillfully grabbed the phone:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, got it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ge: …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the warmth on his shoulder, and smelling the unique fragrance of the girl, the boy felt his cheeks getting hot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the softness he accidentally touched, made him realize that the girl he grew up playing with was no longer the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Be careful, acting so carefree all the time. You might have trouble finding a boyfriend in the future.”\u003C\u002Fp>",907,"2026-06-03T12:38:41.247Z","2026-06-03T12:38:48.664Z",1,"novelbin.me","ab2e9bf527dc212a3fc6c7a4596e7af6c94c0be02e4090a41e969085c9c6fc99","elf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-chapter-858","elf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-chapter-856",1431,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Felf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-cover.jpg"]
