Chapter 76: Second Class Cadre

  Just as Xun Yanqiu completely didn't understand Yang Chengyu's desperate state, Ji Ningning stood up in front of her. Xun Yanqiu wasn't surprised at all because Ji Ningning was naturally strong-willed and would definitely go for the class election.

  Cen Yanqiu just watched, he suddenly remembered when he was the class monitor last semester, there wasn't much to do, but he found that Ji Ningning had to work harder and did everything very well.

  "Hello everyone, my name is Ji Ningning. I'm thrilled to be in the same class as all of you and we'll be learning together for the next two years or so. To be honest, I cherish every class I've been a part of, and I think it's really not easy for us to come together like this. I hope we can happily spend our entire high school journey together! I think I'm relatively suitable for the role of study committee member, so I hope you'll vote for me."

  Ji Ningning finished speaking and walked down with great elegance. The classroom immediately erupted in a thunderous applause.

  Cen Yanqiu was shocked, he couldn't believe that Ji Ningning didn't run for class monitor. Since junior high school, Ji Ningning had always been the class monitor and did a great job. For some reason, Cen Yanqiu suddenly felt worried, this semester had just started, but he found many changes, the first one was Ji Ningning. Ji Ningning changed too much, no longer arguing with him, not being the class monitor, becoming even more indifferent.

  Cen Yanqiu slightly furrowed his brow, was this really the legendary high school? For the sake of the college entrance exams, everyone had become mature and calm. Cen Yanqiu couldn't think about the future, he just felt that things were a bit inexplicable now, did youth have to be spent in an oppressive environment?

  Yang Chengyu, who was standing beside him, had a subtle change in his expression, but he immediately regained his composure. He looked at Cen Yanqiu and said, "Qiu, aren't you going to take over Ningning's position as class leader? You know, Ningning has quit and there is no one to succeed her! Are you willing to just...?"

  "Here we go again!" Cen Yanqiu couldn't help but roll her eyes, "Last time you were like this too, what's with the class monitor thing? I don't even like it! High school is about studying, got it?"

  "Pfft," Yang Chengyu sighed with a smile, then shifted his gaze to Ji Ningning's back, unsure of what emotions he should be feeling at this moment.

  Finally, not a single person came forward to run for class president, and Jin Mingmei suddenly felt awkward. This was the first time since she became a teacher that no one had run for class president. She didn't know why, but she couldn't shake off the feeling that something was wrong, and no one wanted to be the class president.

  Helpless, Jin Mingmei immediately appointed Cen Yanqiu as the class leader and hastily left the classroom, saying that she was going to the office to fetch teaching materials for the lesson.

  Xun Yanqiu felt as if countless crows flew over his head, and even lying down would get him shot!

  "Haha……" Yang Chengyu couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Congratulations to you, Qiu! The position of class monitor, you should take over from Ningning. She needs to study hard, and you'll do a great job in her place!"

  Qian Yanqiu didn't say anything, just slightly lowered his head, and only then did he realize that the textbooks hadn't been distributed yet. Jin Mingmei had lied about going to get the teaching materials. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, as it was clear that Jin Mingmei wanted him to be the class monitor. Since the class couldn't be without a monitor, and no one else was willing to take on the role, he would have to do what his classmates were unwilling to do and become the monitor himself.

  When school was over, Cen Yanqiu and Mo Fei walked home together. The two of them were on the long campus road of Cheng Xia, and they didn't say much to each other. Cen Yanqiu had been a bit absent-minded all along, and when Mo Fei asked him about it, he just said it was because he had been appointed as class monitor. He said he liked freedom and didn't like being tied down, but as the class monitor, he had to do well in every aspect, so his mood wasn't good.
