Lanxi's first day of transfer student life was, unexpectedly, a little adorable.
Although he couldn't solve a single math problem in class and his wildly imaginative essay earned him a lecture from the teacher that lasted the entire period, his physical education scores were off the charts. He even accidentally leaped out of the long jump sandpit, almost flying over the school fence – but because of this, he earned the nickname "Athletic Fairy" in his class.
"Did you practice martial arts when you were little?"
"I practiced… the kind where you scale walls and walk on roofs."
"Seriously? Are you from the Lingnan or Northern school?"
Lanxi smiled without saying anything, thinking to himself: I'm from the Fox school. Scaling walls is done with my tail, not martial arts.
During lunch break, he sat alone in the school's back garden, eating his bento.
The bento was made by Ms. Lin herself that morning – stir-fried udon noodles, warm tea eggs, and a bottle of milk. A small fox was embroidered on the bento wrapping cloth.
He opened the milk and took a small sip. In that instant, the subtly sweet taste seeped into his heart, as warm as the aroma of hot soup wafting from the hotel kitchen.
Suddenly, a girl squatted down to look at him. "Hey, are you not very good at socializing?"
"Huh?"
"I see you always eat alone. Don't you have any friends?"
Lanxi blinked. "My friends… don't come to school very often."
"Is it the introverted transfer student setting?" she asked with interest, taking out a bag of potato chips and offering it to him. "Want some? It's on me!"
Lanxi took one, bit into it, and his eyes widened instantly. "Wow! This is a human snack!?"
A boy nearby couldn't help but interject, "That's just a potato chip… you're acting like you've never had one before."
Lanxi looked serious. "I used to… live in the mountains. The wind was strong, and the demonic energy was thick. I didn't come down the mountain often."
Boy: "…So your family is doing deep mountain cultivation?"
Lanxi smiled. "You could say that."
After the lunch break, those few of them became something like friends in a "Yokai Conservation Club."
The girl brought different snacks every day to "develop Lanxi's taste buds," and the aloof boy who could see dream mist gradually became less cold, sometimes even voluntarily helping Lanxi with his homework (because Lanxi really couldn't do it at all).
After school that day, Lanxi stood at the school gate, waiting for the yokai taxi sent by the hotel (which was actually a demon lizard that had transformed into a taxi).
His classmates watched him get into that "strangely wonderful" old yellow car without asking too much, simply waving goodbye. "Hey, Lanxi, remember to come to school tomorrow! We still need to eat squid shreds together!"
Lanxi smiled and nodded from the car window, his heart as warm as if sunlight was shining into it.
He had never thought that he would be slowly accepted by strangers in such an ordinary school.
On the way back to the hotel, he whispered softly, "So the human world… isn't that cold after all."
