“Your class leader is getting more and more beautiful.”

Liu HuaiShui, who sat to my left across the isle, said in admiration.

“Of course.” Eunuch Cao, who was sitting in front of me, replied, “Shen ShaoYi from class 2 is the prettiest boy in school and the class leader from our class 3 is the prettiest girl in school.”

Liu HuaiShui clapped his thigh and agreed: “That’s right. The previous prettiest girl graduated, so it’s time for 28 Middle to select a new prettiest girl. I’ll hold a vote officially tomorrow after school.”

“Why do we need a vote?” Eunuch Cao mumbled, “The prettiest girl will be from our class. Even if Shu Sha isn’t selected, then it would be Gong CaiCai…”

“Gong CaiCai is a bit short…”

“It’s fine because she has large breasts.”

Eunuch Cao and Liu HuaiShui began an immoral conversation. Xiao Qin went silent due to her androphobia.

Shu Sha already began to speak as the representative of the third years.

“The new semester begins. We all walked into campus after many days of absence with hope, longing, and excitement…”

A bookworms thought process is different than an average person. When other students heard school was about to start, they felt their lives were over. Who felt emotions of ‘longing’ or ‘excitement’?

The content of the class leader’s speech seems to have been instructed by the school leadership to make sure that it centers around telling everyone to study hard, so it also seemed like she was reading from a script.

Although the class leader held a two-page speech in her hand, she didn’t read from it often so she probably had memorized it.

“…everyone should be brave enough to correct their own shortcomings. Regardless of how you used to be, as long as you keep challenging yourself and perfecting yourself, I believe you will definitely recreate a new you…”

Am I imagining it? It seems like the class leader looked at me when she said those words! Did you say those words specifically for me? That’s an abuse of authority, I’m going to report you!

Xiao Qin mumbled: “Recreate a new you… why does the secondary female protagonist sound so similar to Ye Lin classmate. Isn’t the purpose of Ye Lin classmate’s star system to remodel your childhood friend?”

It’s just a coincidence! The star system was made to discipline you, but the class leader plans to discipline me… who’s going to be disciplined by a girl? I’m a metal blooded lone wolf and I won’t yield to anyone.

When the class leader was speaking, the auditorium was much quieter than earlier. Especially many of the small perverts who just entered the first year and were staring their eyes out.

“… the high school entrance exams are the first crossroads of life. It is often said that first year is the preseason, a warm-up, the second year is the regular season, an accumulation, the third year is the playoffs, a sprint…”

Eunuch Cao followed up and said, “The first year is the foreplay, the second year is parting your legs…”

I gave his chair a hard kick and he quickly shut up.

Liu HuaiShui was quite impatient and already began tallying votes votes for the new prettiest girl in school.

“Hey, Ye Lin, who are you voting for?” Liu HuaiShui turned on the phone’s recording function and held it out towards me like a microphone.

“Who are the candidates?” I asked.

Liu HuaiShui read from his phone screen: “Currently on the list is your class leader, Shu Sha, and Gong Cai Cai, also the host Xu Yan…”

Eunuch Cao said in anger: “Xu Yan is a mere firefly, how dare she try to compete with the sun and the moon?”

Liu HuaiShui licked his lips, “Well they show their face a lot, so it’s normal for her to have some supporters…”

Eunuch Cao was still not convinced, “Who cares if they show their face a lot? I might support her if she reveals herself more…

“Well, green leaves bring out the shine of red flowers, it’s fine to have some company. I think Shu Sha from your class still has the highest chance of winning.”

“No shit, our class is outstanding. The most beautiful girl in 28 Middle is our class leader, and then the most handsome is my master Ye Lin…”

Eunuch Cao, do you think I would be happy if you kiss up to me like that? I have neither the will nor the qualifications to fight Shen ShaoYi for that title!

“Damn.” Liu HuaiShui was flustered, “If Ye Lin was a candidate, then I’ll also sign up since I’ll also have a chance.”

Since Liu HuaiShui is a member of the school basketball team, he treated me as a friend and joked around with me.

“Tsk. Let’s leave my master aside for now. Since class 2 put Xu Yan on the list, it shows you guys have zero taste. If I was in charge of tallying votes, I would kick Xu Yan off the list. I would rather put my master’s wife on there instead of her!”

Liu HuaiShui immediately turned his gaze to Xiao Qin. He knew that when Eunuch Cao said ‘master’s wife’, it referred to Xiao Qin.

“If it’s Ren Xiao Qin, there are really people who voted for her.” Liu HuaiShui said, “But they voted anonymously, so it doesn’t count. They were probably afraid of Ye Lin, so they didn’t use their name.”

“How dare you think about the school boss’ woman?!” It seems that many of the skirt-chasers who tried to approach Xiao Qin were deterred because of this reason.

“Ye Lin, if you don’t mind, I’ll vote for Xiao Qin.” Liu HuaiShui said to me with a big grin, “Xiao Qin has been neglected for too long and you don’t even let her talk to other boys…”

Who doesn’t let her speak to other boys? She doesn’t speak to them because of her androphobia!

“Well, if master does not mind, then I also vote for the master’s wife. The beauty of the master’s wife is miles ahead of Xu Yan… why can Xu Yan become a candidate simply because she shows her face more?”

I looked over at Xiao Qin to ask for her opinion. She shook her head with a look of trepidation which meant she did not want to participate in this election process.

In order to cure her androphobia, it wouldn’t be bad for her to participate in these events.

“Alright, you guys can vote for Xiao Qin. I don’t mind, I’ll also vote for her.”

Xiao Qin’s face became bright red. She pulled on her uniform with excitement, but also a bit of worry.

To be honest, I initially wanted to vote for Shu Sha, but then I realized she wasn’t lacking my one vote anyway. I bet she would be elected as the new prettiest girl in school by a wide margin (even if she didn’t want it).

The reason I voted for Xiao Qin was one, because I wanted to encourage her to build up confidence and not be too timid in front of other boys, and secondly, well… Xiao Qin doesn’t really have a strong presence in 28 Middle. It’s certain she would lose to the class leader, but she is definitely more beautiful than Xu Yan. If Xu Yan can be on the list, why can’t Xiao Qin be on the list? The people who chose Xu Yan must be blind.

“Wait.” Eunuch Cao said, “If Xu Yan has votes, then Zhuang Ni and Xiong YaoYue from our class should also be able to get some?”

“Xiong YaoYue is a tomboy. We will be laughed at by other schools if we chose a tomboy to be the prettiest girl in 28 Middle.”

“That’s true… what about Zhuang Ni.”

“Isn’t Zhuang Ni not attending school? She didn’t come to today’s opening ceremony, right?”

It’s true Zhuang Ni wasn’t here. The class leader said yesterday that Zhuang Ni might attend the opening ceremony, but looks like she went back on her words.

“How about the captain of the cheerleaders of class 6.” Liu HuaiShui suggested, “Since there are more people, why not make it more lively, what’s her name again, I think it was Fu…”

As Liu HuaiShui and Eunuch Cao were discussing the election for the new prettiest girl in school, Shu Sha had finished speaking and walked off the stage.

Xu Yan looked at Shu Sha’s back as she stepped down from the stage, and there seemed to be a fire burning in her eyes. She hesitated for a second before announcing into the microphone:

“We will proceed to the fifth item on the agenda: to commend the teachers and students who have achieved good results in the last semester.”

First, a list of outstanding teachers and teachers-in-charge were announced. The winners had to go on stage to give their acceptance speeches, thanking everyone, it was all very clichéd with no new ideas.

The teacher awards don’t really have anything to do with teacher Yu. He sat to the right side of Shu Sha and looked quite lonely.

After the teachers received their awards, it was the students’ turn. Xu Yan read out the list of students who won the awards, which was based on the year they were in. Shu Sha won the discipline star and went on stage to receive the award.

Shu Zhe, who has been promoted to the second year, and won the title of the best overall student.

The sixth item on the agenda was for the parent of a certain student to be the parents representative and speak on stage. It seems that certain student seems had his grades suddenly improve the last year and won the improvement star.

I felt it would have been more suitable for the class leader and Shu Zhe’s mom to be the representative since they both won awards.

But I heard that the class leader’s mother was still on the plane, she can only barely make it to the afternoon parents meeting and wasn’t able to participate in the opening ceremony.

She’s so busy. It looks like she’s just as busy as a researcher compared to a police officer. The class leader inherited her workaholic nature from her mother.

Soon we proceeded to the seventh item on the agenda, it was a bad play put on by the students about a student who goes through three years of hard work, but ends up getting a poor score on the high school entrance exams.

The writing was poor and the actors were also very bad. It seems that one of the actors was Xiao Hei, one of the disciplinary committee members who searched our class for contraband. If you don’t have any talent, then get out of the way and let professionals handle it!

After the play, the opening ceremony finally came to an end.

Everyone stood up half-dead and followed along to Xu Yan’s oath. In the oath, regardless if we were in our third year or not, we all expressed our determination to strive for improvement and work hard for the high school entrance exams
