“Alright, got it. But I don’t like Yan Shen. Since she likes him, then she can courageously pursue him. I’ll take the initiative to give way.”
Chu Ning spread her hands nonchalantly. She really did not understand what kind of charm Yan Shen possessed to be able to be surrounded by so many girls. She clearly did not have any feelings for him? Alright, he was indeed a little handsome, but he was not her type!
“Huh? You don’t like Yan Shen? Then you guys…” Before the deskmate could complete her sentence, Chu Ning ruthlessly cut her off.
“I’ve never taken the initiative to look for him,” Chu Ning said indifferently.
Her deskmate was speechless.
“Alright, as a bystander, I’m also a little shocked. But this time, it’s going to be very lively. If Luo Yu wants to become a host, then the school will be in a bit of a dilemma. After all, as the school’s recent rising star, Ye Ting will definitely not let go of this opportunity to show off. And there will only be two female hosts for the Dragon Boat Festival Gala. This year’s competition for places will definitely be very interesting.”
Her deskmate rubbed her hands in anticipation.
“Xiao Mi, can you focus on your studies instead of focusing on these useless things all day long? What’s the point?”
Chu Ning was dumbfounded. It wasn’t just her deskmate. She felt that these fellows were especially free every day. When she had previously been in high school, she used to work hard on her internal exams. There were even people who would go home at night and secretly do practice papers under the covers; as for them… Forget it, they were pretty good too. At least their family conditions were not too bad and their starting point was relatively high.
“You’re the main character and you’re acting like it’s nothing. Actually, I feel that if you dress up a little, you’ll be comparable to them. You might even be better looking than them. You could even be the school belle.” The deskmate suddenly suggested seriously, looking at Chu Ning’s profile.
“There’s no need.” Chu Ning shook her head gently.
She felt that the evaluation of the school belle and the school beau was extremely boring. It was completely meaningless. Other than satisfying the curiosity of these students, it didn’t have any practical function.
“As your older sister, I don’t want to compare my beauty with you fellows.” Chu Ning thought to herself.
“Why is it not necessary? Think about it. You are so good at your studies, and you are so beautiful. If you were in a novel, you would be the very model of a female protagonist!” Her deskmate said excitedly, waving her cute fist.
“Uh, have you ever seen a female protagonist who is as poor as me? Aren’t they all very rich?” Chu Ning said with a smile. She still owed the school a million!
“Your looks and talent are your assets. Besides, don’t female protagonists have to go through some hardships?” The deskmate said matter-of-factly.
“I think you have a lot of ideas; it would be great to write a novel.”
Chu Ning teased, as the two of them continued to chat in this manner. The first two classes in the morning were physical education classes, so the whole class was very active before class. Everyone was waiting to go to the sports field under the guidance of the physical education teacher.
After a while, as the entire class waited with anticipation, the physical education teacher finally arrived. At the same time, he was holding a very thick rope with a red cloth tied in the middle.
Immediately, a sharp-eyed classmate opened his mouth and asked, “Teacher, will we be doing a tug-of-war for this lesson?”
“Yes, to release your physical strength.” The physical education teacher stood at the podium and answered with a smile.
“Moreover, the timing this time is quite coincidental. It just so happens that another class is also having their physical education class, so today our class will have a tug-of-war with Class Three.”
As soon as the physical education teacher finished speaking, the crowd of boys and girls below the podium erupted into cheers.
The girls were happy as Yan Shen was in Class Three. As long as they won the tug-of-war, it would be the same as “snatching” Yan Shen over. The boys were similarly happy for a very simple reason — Luo Yu, who was recognized as the school beauty of Jingyuan High School, was also in Class 3!
This was a competition that they had no choice but to win!
“Alright, everyone, stop the racket. I know that all of you are very enthusiastic. Now, listen to my command and line up properly. Gather at the sports field!”
…
A few minutes later, all the members of Chu Ning’s class had gathered at the sports field.
It was only then that Chu Ning noticed Ye Ting. Perhaps it was because she knew in advance that there would be a physical education class today, but Ye Ting was wearing very cool clothes, the short sleeves on her upper body cleverly highlighted her figure, paired with a cute little louvered skirt and sports pantyhose. For a time, she attracted the attention of many male students.
