Rather be a prince than have a kingdom

  You weren't at morning self-study, you missed a good show! Xia Xiaoyan said, "Someone even sent her breakfast to the classroom, don't be too romantic!"

  "Who?" I said.

  "Hey, handsome Ji Tao from high school!"; Xia Xiao said in a low voice to me, "This is what they mean by 'rather have the prince than the kingdom'." After that, she burst out laughing loudly. I really wanted to cover her mouth, but was afraid of drawing more attention, so I could only say softly to her, "Don't talk nonsense, okay?"

  "Am I that kind of person who speaks nonsense?" Xia Xiaoyan said, "This secret will soon become a secret known to the whole school."

  Xia Xiaoyao's intelligence was indeed reliable. In just a few days, Lu Wei and Ji Tao began to openly appear together on campus, and the two would even squeeze through the crowded corridors after finishing their physical education class, only feeling satisfied after taking a couple of steps together.

  To quote Lao Liu: Luo Wei has been bewitched.

  Is this really love?

  I don't quite understand. My thoughts are different from Lu Wei's, and I don't like boys who are too handsome like Ji Tao, it's inevitable that they appear too superficial. The boys I like don't have to be too tall or too fat, but they must have rich inner qualities, and when speaking, they don't have to be too fast, just being clear and logical is enough.

  For example, someone like my father.

  And I will never wave to him in public, that's so uncool! I think Old Liu is absolutely right, Luo Wei has gone crazy.

  The democratic election was held after school in the afternoon, with four names on the blackboard, including mine. Old Liu said that this time we didn't campaign, anyway, everyone should be very familiar with each other after so long in school. We adopted a secret ballot system, whoever got the most votes would win.

  The four candidates were all set by Old Liu herself, I think she's really got some sinister intentions because the other three don't pose any threat to me at all. Looks like she's determined to make me the class monitor.

  As expected by everyone, I was elected with an absolute majority of votes.

  Xia Xiaoyao made an OK gesture from far away for me.

  But I couldn't get excited at all.

  After the election, Old Liu called me to her office again and talked for a long time. I looked at her mouth opening and closing, but couldn't hear what she was saying at all, only knowing that she said I would definitely make her feel at ease, and Lu Wei's affair really made her lose face. I spoke up and said that actually, being in love and being the class monitor had nothing to do with each other, besides, can't we still work on Lu Wei? She is such an excellent student.

  Old Liu looked at me and said: "How did you know I didn't do the job, my mouth is almost worn out. She herself insisted on resigning."

  "Okay, I'm so hungry that all I can say is, I will do my best to be a good class monitor and not disappoint my classmates and teachers."

  That's right. Old Liu said, Don't let me suffer another blow.

  I rode my bike home in a bad mood, and when I passed by the city square, I saw Lu Wei and Ji Tao holding hands and ice-skating. Their skates were very beautiful, and as they glided across the ice, it was a very bright and beautiful scene.

  I involuntarily stopped the car.

  Lu Wei saw me, smiled and pulled Ji Tao over together, introducing to Ji Tao: "This is our class's talented girl, from today on she will replace me as the class monitor."
