Chapter 65 You’ve Gotten the Class Monitor

Yu Tongjie went up to the fourth floor. The entire open corridor was a mess, with wet puddles all over the ground.

A cold wind blew, and he tightened his jacket.

He looked up and just happened to see the side profile of Li Qingrong entering the classroom, which brightened his mood a little.

He put down his umbrella and entered the classroom.

Li Qingrong’s seat was in the first row, not too far from his. The three-person-per-row setup made the classroom space narrow, and the aisles were extremely tight.

How should I put it? The aisles in Class Zero were wide enough for five people to kiss simultaneously.

The treatment of young masters, the top students.

After all, they were all top students with 985 university potential as a baseline, the face of Zhennan Middle School. The two classes combined had fewer than eighty people, and boarding students even had two-person dorms.

Refrigerators, washing machines, free food and accommodation, and a living allowance every month. Good test scores earned scholarships, and awards earned bonuses, all designed to exude prestige.

Yu Tongjie navigated the narrow aisle and happened to meet Li Qingrong’s gaze as she looked up. He greeted her on a whim.

“Morning.”

“Mm.” Li Qingrong responded, her gaze returning to her book.

Yu Tongjie’s face showed nothing, but his heart was already experiencing a spring after a long winter, a huge surge of joy flowing from his limbs into his heart. Thump, thump, thump, his mind went blank for a moment, unsure where to go.

Sure enough, his decision to sign up for the sports meet was correct!

Young Master Yu remained silent and reserved, his emotions hidden. Sitting in his seat, a hint of joy only flashed in his eyes as he took books out of his backpack.

He began to look forward to the sports meet, and even Jiang Nian, who was wiping the blackboard as part of his duty, seemed more agreeable.

Suddenly, Yu Tongjie realized that Jiang Nian had also signed up for the 3000-meter race.

Immediately, his expression became unnatural. Why was he everywhere? He hoped they wouldn’t be in the same heat. He wondered what Jiang Nian’s athletic ability was like?

Long-distance races didn’t have preliminaries; they went straight to the finals, but they were divided into heats.

Zhennan Middle School’s sports meet organizing committee never distinguished between sports students and non-sports students, nor between arts and science streams, only male and female groups. However, sports students were generally concentrated in the regular classes.

In fact, these rules had no impact on regular classes or key classes.

Oh, so your class has sports students?

But for classes above Olympiad Class, especially Class Zero, it had an impact.

This isn’t a stereotype, by the way.

Of course, there are also tall and strong top students, but Class Zero had fewer people and didn’t have an advantage. Olympiad Class had more people, but some were unwilling to participate in the sports meet and had resistance.

Yu Tongjie naturally felt that it was good enough if someone stepped up. Otherwise, the sports committee member, Liu Yang, would eventually have no choice but to either step up himself or ask Li Qingrong for help.

So, for the 3000-meter race, was it about ranking?

No, it was about perseverance.

As long as he could finish the entire race, what if he came in last? Looking at the essence through the problem, he wasn’t competing for class honor.

He just needed Li Qingrong to see him finish the entire race, even if he looked disheveled. Even if she wasn’t moved, at least her previous impression of him would change.

It was only for Li Qingrong; if it were anyone else, he wouldn’t bother to risk his life running.

Third group.

Early self-study hadn’t started yet. Li Hua was making a ruckus at his seat, “How did you wipe the blackboard? There’s still dirt over there, can’t you see?”

Jiang Nian put down the rag and silently went to the back row. Two minutes later, Ma Guojun, Jiang Nian, and another boy came over together and directly carried Li Hua out.

“Ah! My mistake! My mistake! Brother Nian! I’ll wipe it! I’ll wipe the blackboard today!”

In the corridor, the chubby Ma Guojun adjusted his glasses, grinning.

“This guy is just despicable, he deserves it.”

After a while, the few of them chatted in the corridor, bringing up the sports meet on Thursday, the day after tomorrow.

“I’ll bring my phone then. Anyway, Old Liu won’t care those few days.” Ma Guojun adjusted his glasses, “The class should be able to watch movies.”

“The first day might not work, right?” Li Hua leaned on the iron railing of the corridor, finished gazing out, and turned to say, “The first day will probably be strictly managed. They’ll take attendance in both the morning and afternoon.”

“Old Liu will let the sports committee member, Liu Yang, be in charge of attendance. Just tell him to go easy on us.” Another person said.

Ma Guojun’s expression became serious, “I’m afraid it’ll be the class monitor.”

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Another boy, Li Jiawen, said, “Old Liu wouldn’t be so messed up, would he? If he lets the class monitor take attendance, what’s the difference between these three days of the sports meet and sitting in jail?”

“Hard to say, Old Liu hasn’t done fewer messed up things in the past.”

“Li Hua, you go deal with Old Liu!”

“Me deal with Old Liu?” Li Hua was dumbfounded.

“Then there’s no choice, just wait to die. We’re definitely going to be in jail for three days.”

“Don’t be so pessimistic, what if it’s not?” Li Hua comforted them with high emotional intelligence, “Besides, even if Liu Yang is sidelined by the class monitor, we still have Brother Nian.”

Li Jiawen hesitated for a moment, “Let Brother Nian deal with Old Liu?”

Ma Guojun chimed in, “You know, Jiang Nian might really be able to deal with Old Liu. I’m telling you, Old Liu looks unnatural when he sees Jiang Nian.”

“I always feel like there’s something going on between them that they’re hiding.”

“Don’t talk nonsense, there’s nothing going on.” Jiang Nian refuted, “Old Liu told me to be more magnanimous, not to bicker with Yu Tongjie, and that harmony among classmates is paramount.”

“Harmony my ass!” Ma Guojun was quick-witted.

As expected of a Tieba green badge holder.

“Pure idiot.” Li Hua added.

“It’s indeed quite outrageous.” Li Jiawen was a peripheral member of the small group, acting as a free agent among several groups, so he didn’t speak too harshly.

This topic ended there. Ma Guojun and Li Hua naturally wouldn’t pick up other topics, lest they be exposed for no reason someday.

“Seriously, Nian, you deal with the class monitor.” Li Hua patted his shoulder, “If it really is the class monitor taking attendance, our brothers’ well-being rests on your shoulders.”

Jiang Nian glanced at Li Hua, asking curiously.

“Why do you think my words are effective?”

“Isn’t that a fact?” Li Hua spread his hands, looking at Ma Guojun and Li Jiawen, “It’s a recognized fact, who else can go eat with the class monitor?”

“That’s an exaggeration, it was just a coincidence.” Jiang Nian said this, but in his mind, he couldn’t help but recall what Li Qingrong had said in the corridor this morning.

“The boys in our class don’t want to run the 3000-meter race, and you were the first to sign up. Long-distance running is very dependent on rhythm. If you need someone with relevant experience to run with you and set the pace—”

“You can find me.”

The class monitor was quite responsible, just a bit rigid.

Ring, ring, ring.

Early reading began, and the four of them entered the classroom one after another.

Today, the sixth group was responsible for hygiene. Due to the school’s leniency towards Olympiad Class, classroom hygiene only needed to be done casually, and the assigned cleaning area was the easiest.

So, Olympiad Class Three always had the classroom and its assigned area as one, rotating by group.

The classroom didn’t need to be managed in the morning; they just needed to take a stroll around the assigned area during early self-study. Because of the rain, the six of them could only go out with brooms and umbrellas.

The sky was gray, and the rain was falling sparsely.

Zhang Ningzhi and Huang Fang walked behind, carrying tin dustpans. The four boys walking in front each held a red plastic broom, damaging flowers and plants as they walked.

Jiang Nian suddenly asked, “Hua, how far has Dragon Three read?”
