Laura looked at the paper man who was squashed in her other hand and didn’t quite understand. “Do dead people play with paper men?”
Favian didn’t know how to reply.
He was speechless and simply said, “Forget it. The paper man is fine. I see it in advance when I am alive. Thank you on behalf of the future me who is destined for hell.”
Laura shook her head in confusion. “You’re welcome. If you like, I can make another girl figure to accompany you.”
Favian’s lips twitched. “It seems you’d better not attend any handicraft classes in the future. You might easily craft a complete set of the underworld for me.”
With that said, he lazily propped his chin with one hand. “Anyway, I appreciate your kindness. I understand your intentions, and I’ll accept the gift. You can leave now.”
Laura paused, looking at his irritated profile, evidently sensing his foul mood.
She hesitated, walking up to the desk and handing him the pumpkin lantern. “This is for you.”
Favian looked up in surprise.

Laura tiptoed, her hands gripping the edge of the desk, not quite tall enough. Peering over, she said, “I will keep my word.”
Favian was taken aback, a sudden warmth flooding his heart. “But isn’t this your assignment? If you give it to me, you
won’t get a score.”
Laura remained silent, then pulled out a paper SpongeBob watch from her pocket. “I also prepared another gift.”
Favian tilted his head, watching as Laura placed the watch on the table. “This is a SpongeBob watch I made. It’s also for
you.”
The paper watch was quite childish, just a simple folding of paper, with square blocks stuck on top of it.
On the square paper pieces, she drew a pair of big eyes and large teeth.
It wasn’t clear what cartoon character it was supposed to be.
He was puzzled, “What bob?”
Laura blinked her beautiful eyes and said, “SpongeBob. He’s a happy little sponge. When you wear it, you’ll be happy every day.”
Favian was stunned and picked up the paper watch.
It was too childish, hardly worth a second glance.
He scoffed, “You expect this thing to make me happy?”

She was particularly sincere. “Yes. It definitely will. You’ll smile more than before once you wear it.”
Favian snorted and said, “There is nothing that can make me happy in this world, let alone your watch.”
After saying that, he gestured and asked, “How do I even wear this thing?”
Laura trotted over to him and helped him put the watch on.
She inserted one end into the corresponding notch, then took out some prepared stickers and stuck them on while

putting the watch on him. As she did, she said, “If you don’t try, how will you know if it brings happiness? SpongeBob will definitely bless you.”
Favian stared at her in astonishment.
She held his wrist admiringly. “It looks. k
good, and it suits you perfectly.”
‘Does it?‘ Favian lowered his gaze, looking at the SpongeBob watch beside his Patek Philippe.
It couldn’t be more out of place.
Laura didn’t realize it at all. She admired it self–indulgently, eagerly asking, “Uncle Favian, do you like it?”
Favian remained silent.
He was simply engrossed in examining the watch.
Seeing that he didn’t answer, Laura thought he didn’t like it. She was a little disappointed and left, “Since I have sent your gift, I’ll leave now. Thank you for helping me today.”
She headed towards the door.
Suddenly, Favian spoke up, “I’ve never seen such an ugly watch before.”
Laura was confused.
She turned back in surprise, only to see him disdainfully turning his wrist. “Are you sure something like this can make someone happy?”
Laura frowned in annoyance, “It’s just an innocent watch, you can’t keep calling it ugly. It’ll get upset. If you don’t want it, then give it back to me.”
Favian looked surprised, staring at her for a moment before suddenly smiling.
His eyes, beneath the silver glasses, crinkled with a smile, and there was even a faint dimple on his thin lips. “Alright, I’ll keep it. Thanks for the gift for your new homeroom teacher.”

Laura was puzzled. “What do you mean by ‘new homeroom teacher‘?”
Favian propped his chin lazily. “You don’t have a homeroom teacher anymore, so from now on, I’ll take on that role until your class gets a new one.”

Laura was thunderstruck. “What?”
She suddenly regretted it, reaching for his watch. “Then I won’t give it to you, give it back to me.”
Favian raised his hand to dodge. “Too late.”
Laura broke down and said, “Are you bullying me?”
Favian looked down at her and said playfully, “Are you that afraid of me being your homeroom teacher?”
She nodded. “Yes, I don’t want you to be a homeroom teacher. I am afraid of you.”
“Well, that’s a pity.” He teased even more. “It’s not up to you.”
Laura was so shocked that her hands trembled. She broke down and turned to leave. “Favian, you’re now my least favorite uncle. I don’t want to be good to you anymore. I hate you.”
Favian watched her leave and heard Laura’s cries of despair echoing down the corridor, “Why am I so unlucky? The principal is my uncle and my homeroom teacher. Wah!“.
His smile widened, thoroughly amused. ‘This kid is so funny.’
Meanwhile, Laura was in the corridor, feeling helpless and regretting deeply.
She shouldn’t have tried to repay his kindness.
She never expected him to want to be her homeroom teacher. ‘What a disaster!‘
She choked back her tears as she descended the stairs, while à boy with black–framed glasses hid around the corner of the corridor, staring at her back, which looked like a little penguin.
At the same time, a message popped up on his phone.
[Elaine failed at the beginning; you must work harder.]
The boy’s eyes were intense, and the name Leroy was displayed on his badge.
They were all arranged by Carol to target enemies of their age.
Elaine was targeting Laura.
Unexpectedly, she was taken away as soon as she invaded the enemy.
He had to avenge his sister.
Leroy glanced at his schedule,
Today, there was a cooking class, where they would collaborate with first–grade children.
Laura belonged to the advanced class, falling within the first–grade range, and their class happened to be collaborating
with them.

Naturally, he could come to deal with her.
A cold glint flashed in Leroy’s eyes as he set out to do it.
Meanwhile, Laura returned to the classroom feeling listless.
After class, Sheryl excitedly told her, “You know what? The next class is a cooking class. We can have classes with senior pupils in the sixth grade.”
She became excited and asked, “You mean we can cook?”

Little fatty nodded and said, “Yes. we’ll learn to cook with them. Previously, we picked strawberries at the strawberry farm, so today they will use our strawberries to make cakes. That’s how they usually do it.”
Sheryl was very happy, “I’ve heard that Skyline Academy not only teaches language and math but also horse riding, cooking, golfing, and many other things. I didn’t expect to have it on my first day.”
Laura couldn’t help but look forward to the cooking class. “Then let’s go to the classroom first.”
Sheryl gladly agreed, “I’ll take you there.”
Hand in hand, they headed to the cooking class classroom, where the sixth–grade students were already waiting in the hallway.
Leroy was holding a sign with Laura’s name on it.
The other girls looked at him with envy and said, “Leroy, can we swap partners? I want to be in a group with Laura.”
“Yeah, please switch with us.”
He smiled and declined.
Disappointed, the girls left.
Due to Laura’s status as a celebrity, a group of girls áll wanted to be with her. The homeroom teacher was annoyed by their
clamor and decided to draw lots to decide.
He made the draw, hiding Laura’s name up his sleeve, ensuring his victory,
But unfortunately, his other teammate was Everett, Laura’s brother.
But since Everett and Laura were not on good terms, there should be no problem.
