Chapter 5: Class Cadre Election

  It was time for morning reading. Classmates of Class A all entered the classroom one after another. For a while, the classroom was filled with the sound of books being read aloud. Everyone was focused on their textbooks and didn't pay attention to others.

  At this time, a basketball flew in from outside the classroom door. The basketball "slammed" into the classroom several times, and in an instant, all the reading sounds in the class stopped abruptly, replaced by the shrill screams of several girls...

  Cen Yan's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, his face looked uncomfortable. Can't this world be less contradictory? The most pleasant sound is a girl's voice, and the most unpleasant sound is also a girl's! He couldn't stand girls who were easily startled, without even lifting his head, he continued reading.

  While the other students looked towards the classroom door, they saw a thin boy walking in slowly with an embarrassed smile on his face and hastily ran to pick up the basketball.

  Cen Yanqiu just glanced at the boy and didn't think much of it, then continued reading. However, she heard a girl whispering behind her: "Oh my, he's late and still so arrogant! Scary!"

  Cen Yanqiu slightly turned his head, but saw the two girls next to Ji Ningning whispering to each other. He frowned and secretly sighed in his heart: Girls are really gossipy!

  Ji Ningning seemed to have noticed Cen Yanqiu's gaze, and also raised her head, looking at him lightly with a hint of disdain, before lowering her head again to read.

  Cen Yanqiu was shocked and quickly turned his head back. How could he have forgotten that the person sitting behind him was none other than Ji Ningning, the arrogant Ji Ningning! He had always been most annoyed by arrogant people, and didn't want her to think that he had turned around because of her, or else she would be too pleased with herself!

  The boy who picked up the ball sat down in his seat and also picked up his language textbook. A cute boy next to him hurried over and whispered, "You like basketball too?"

  The boy who picked up the ball narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly, but there was something indescribably special about him. "I really like basketball!"

  "Really!" The cute boy, like a kid who hadn't grown up yet, cheered softly, revealing two small tiger teeth, and was very cute. "I also love basketball! My name is Zeng Xiao Hai, what about you?"

  "My name is Tan Shizhe, please advise me!" Tan Shizhe stretched out his right hand, and when he smiled, his eyes narrowed, so special that Zeng Xiaohai saw it for the first time.

  Two boys secretly shook hands during morning reading time, the girl next to them glanced over unintentionally, then lowered her head to read again, no one knew, and no one noticed, what would happen in the next second.

  Just then, Class Teacher Jin Mingmei walked in wearing seven-centimeter high heels and saw that her classmates were all very self-conscious. She felt a little sweet in her heart, "Classmates, stop for now!"

  When Kim Myung-mi spoke, the reading sound in the class stopped again.

  Jin Mingmei smiled satisfactorily, "The new semester has also started for a few days, I suppose everyone has already gotten to know each other. Today, the teacher will take advantage of this morning reading time to elect our class cadres together with you!"

  As soon as they heard the words "class cadre", half of the students in the class suddenly lost interest, and those who were originally staring at Jin Mingmei with rapt attention also looked down impatiently and began to read their books.

  On the other hand, half of the students' eyes were still shining brightly and intently staring at Kim Min-ah.

  Jin Mingmei saw that no one in the class was speaking up, so she picked up a marker and listed several class cadre positions on the blackboard:

  Class Monitor

  Deputy Class Monitor

  Study Committee

  Sports Committee

  Literary Committee

  Committee of Living

  ……

  At this time, the class suddenly became noisy, and the students whispered to each other, discussing in a low voice.

  Jin Mingmei wrote down several class cadre positions, then turned around with a smile on her face. "Alright! Let's get started now! Students who are interested in running for office, be bold and courageous to come up and campaign! Classmates, prepare white paper, write down the class cadre positions on the whiteboard, and write down the classmates you support behind them!"

  As soon as the voice fell, no one came up to the stage to campaign for a long time. Jin Mingmei's heart suddenly hung up, if no one came up all the time, wouldn't the class be without a leader?

  "Isn't anyone coming up? The teacher knows that many of you want to challenge yourselves, so be bold!" Jin Mingmei couldn't help but add another sentence.

  As soon as Jin Mingmei finished speaking, a boy suddenly stood up in the classroom. She adjusted her thick glasses and recognized the boy - it was the same boy who had been caught reading comics during yesterday's class and was punished to write a self-criticism essay.

  "Hello, fellow students! I'm Ge Jinghang. I suppose everyone knows that by now? Just a moment ago, when I saw the four words 'Sports Committee Member', my heart was racing and blooming with excitement! In the heat of the moment, I couldn't help but step up here, so please cast your vote for me to be your Sports Committee Member!"

  Ge Jinghang finished speaking in one breath, and didn't even remember what he had said. He hurried back to his seat. He wasn't a person who dragged things out, when he saw the position he wanted, he wouldn't hesitate, although he still looked careless, but was actually a boy who became more handsome than anyone else when he got serious.

  "Great! Well said! Absolutely support!" At this time, a boy in the class applauded hastily, with a smile all over his face, giving Ge Jinghang an encouraging look.

  The classmates in the class were also infected by the boy who applauded, and they all applauded.

  Jin Mingmei saw him and her heart was filled with joy.

  At this time, Ji Ningning also stood up and slowly walked towards the podium.

  The whole class held their breath and stared blankly at this campus belle-like figure stepping onto the stage.

  "Hello everyone!" Ji Ningning rarely had a smile on her face, and her beautiful big eyes fell on Cen Yanqiu. Her smile remained unwavering, "I am Ji Ningning, I'm running for class president today, hoping for your support!" She spoke briefly and to the point, then slowly walked down, without losing any elegance.

  When she walked over to Xun Yanqiu's side, she deliberately turned her head away and returned to her own position with a proud face.

  Cen Yanqiu's anger was still simmering, and she exchanged a glance with Yang Chengyu, both of them looking bewildered. Then they lowered their heads again, each engrossed in their own textbooks.

  At this time, a girl walked between Cen Yanqiu and Yang Chengyu, and the two couldn't help but look up at her. The girl was slender, with regular features, bright eyes and white teeth, wearing a fitted school uniform, looking very cute.

  "Hello everyone!" The girl's voice was sweet and her eyes sparkled, "My name is Ouyang Yunqing, I'm not here to run for class officer, but to recommend a classmate!" As she spoke, her eyes mischievously blinked again, looking at the boy sitting below the podium, close to her, and continued: "I recommend Leng Yiyang as our class monitor! I was in the adjacent class with him in junior high school for three years, he has excellent grades, is meticulous in his work, and has principles, such a classmate, I trust!"

  As soon as Ou Yang Yun Qing's words fell, a surprised cry was heard from the class. This seemingly gentle and weak cute girl unexpectedly turned out to be so brave. On the surface, it seemed like she was making a recommendation, but everyone knew her true intentions, which were driven by youthful emotions.

  "I don't know you!" Leng Yiyang reluctantly stood up, looking at the person on stage with a helpless expression. Who did he offend, why did this stranger suddenly appear and recommend him as class monitor? Heaven knows how much he hated being in charge.

  Ouyang Yunqing heard Leng Yiyang's indifferent words, the tension in her heart instantly vanished, and she felt a pang of sadness. She lowered her head and remained silent, with a hint of sorrow clearly visible on her face.

  Leng Yi Yang couldn't help it, he really didn't want to hurt this seemingly innocent person. "I think being the class monitor is quite busy, I'm a lazy person, so just vice-class monitor will do! I'll run for vice-class monitor, okay?"

  Upon hearing this, Ouyang Yunqing's face suddenly flushed slightly red, a hint of pink gradually spreading, adding to her cuteness. She nodded, "Mm, okay!" and then quickly ran down.

  The class suddenly erupted into a commotion, followed by thunderous applause.

  Leng Yi Yang's face was filled with helplessness, and he slowly sat down. What's the point of this? Everything is fine as it is, yet they still want to hold elections for class positions! He let out a quiet sigh and didn't say anything else.

  At this time, a girl was already standing on the stage, with her ponytail tied high up, looking smart and capable, with a few points of elegance. "Hello teachers and classmates! My name is Li Yu Chen, I also introduced myself to everyone on the first day of school, I like music and dance, I hope to be our class art committee member, I hope you all support me!"

  Leng Yi Yang glanced at Li Yu Chen with a faint gaze, then lowered his head. Perhaps he would prefer this type of straightforward girl.

  After a round of applause, Jin Mei looked around the class for about three minutes, but no one else came on stage. Her heart sank again, and her face turned serious. "I see that Zhou Zhanling and Ge Jinghang are probably sworn brothers... Ge Jinghang was so brave, is Zhou Zhanling just a bystander?"

  Jin Mingmei said that, and the whole class looked at the boy who had applauded first, only to see him looking tense and embarrassed at being stared at.

  Before long, he secretly took a deep breath, hastily stood up, and walked onto the stage. His appearance was unclear whether it was tension or helplessness, looking somewhat awkward. He walked onto the stage, picked up a pen, and heavily drew a horizontal line on the four characters "Life Commissioner". Then, he turned around with a serious face, "This position is mine! Don't fight for it!" After finishing speaking, he quickly came down.

  The applause in the class was like thunder, and Zhou Zhanling didn't listen carefully either. Maybe it was too tense, and he simply had no mood to attend.

  Then several more classmates came up one after another.

  Yang Chengyu turned his head, picked up his textbook to cover his face, and sneered at Cen Yanqiu, "Hey, Ball, aren't you going up? Are you willing to let Ji Ningning bully you as the class monitor?"

  "Ji Ningning is the one you have a crush on, what does it have to do with me? Besides, can she bully me?" Cen Yanqiu put down the textbook in his hand and looked at Yang Chengyu with disdain.

  Yang Chengyu's smile remained unchanged, and he sneered, "Are you willing to surrender to her?"

  "Your tricks won't work on me! Spare yourself the effort!" Xun Yanqiu's mouth curled up, and he smiled smugly. He was not someone who would bother to argue with a girl anyway. Besides, his mind was preoccupied with forming a club.

  At this moment, the girl behind him raised her head, took a look at Yang Chengyu, and said with disdain, "He's not my opponent!"

  "What did you say?!" Xun Yanqiu turned back in indignation, saw Ji Ningning's face full of disdain, and his calmness vanished instantly. He sneered coldly, "I really took down the class leader!" After finishing speaking, he suddenly stood up and strode towards the podium with a fierce momentum.
