"The results of this exam are out. To be honest, it's hard to imagine that this is the level that the students in Class A of Experimental Middle School can achieve. I wonder what you were listening to in class."
The head teacher, Li Shibing, had spent less than a month with the class and was already in cursing mode. "Only seven people scored above 100 out of 120 on the math test. The number of people in the class next door is twice as many as ours! Isn't that shameful!"
"I've been teaching for so many years, and you can really be said to be the worst class I've ever taught. Each of you should reflect on what happened. After I finish explaining the topic, each of you should write a self-criticism and hand it in... Oh, by the way, Lin Youxi doesn't have to write one."
"Then, I will read out the scores above 100." Teacher Li began to read out the scores one by one, "Lin Youxi, 120 points; Mei Fang, 119; Chen Jie, 111; Huang Zhe, 107; Lu Xueqing, 104..."
What the hell, I have to write a self-criticism even if I get 119 points
Mei Fang discovered that his mistake was to write one extra horizontal line, and he felt very upset.
When Mei Fang was in elementary school, Teacher Yu did not pay much attention to grades. Unless there were important large-scale exams, she seldom read out the scores one by one. Reading out the scores made those who did not perform well feel more stressed, while for those who did well, it was a kind of honor ceremony.
In general, this does help stimulate a sense of competition and a desire to win.
It’s just that Lin Youxi, who is top of the class, doesn’t need this.
As she took the test paper and walked to her seat, she saw that everyone was looking at her with respect and envy.
"Also, everyone has been getting along with each other for about a month now. We won't be doing homework in the evening study session tonight. We will first run for class leaders and then divide the seats into new groups. Students who are interested in running for class leaders should first register with Lin Youxi."
Lin Youxi was not opposed to helping the head teacher. After she made a list, she poked Mei Fang with a pen.
"Ah Fang, are you going to run for class leader?"
Mei Fang shook his head. "I'm not interested. I like to do my own things."
"… so."
Lin Youxi lowered her head as if she was thinking about something, and Mei Fang understood what she was thinking.
"Do you want to be elected class monitor?"
Lin Youxi shook his head, and then hesitated for a while.
"There is one thing... Although there are many things to do, I think it is an opportunity to exercise. I just don't know if you are willing to invest in me..."
"Of course I will."
Mei Fang must have encouraged Lin Youxi to make some changes. "If you want to be the monitor, just write your name down. I support you wholeheartedly!"
"Then... why don't you be a class leader?" Lin Youxi began to persuade Mei Fang, "This way you can also get some training."
"I?"
"Yeah." Lin Youxi nodded, "If you're not suitable, I don't really want to choose."
Mei Fang thought to herself, you are too goal-oriented, why do you need me to accompany you in everything you do
He was about to say that he didn't need it, but after hesitating, he changed his mind.
"Let me think about it... I can be the team leader. Please help me write it."
"good!"
According to the rules set by the class teacher Li Shibing before the end of get out of class, the first thing to do is to elect class cadres and group leaders, and then each study group will be assigned 1 group leader and 2 class cadres. These class cadres can freely choose groups to form study groups, and at that time they can be bound together with Youxi.
Since we are a group, the two of us won’t sit too far away from each other.
After Mei Fang made up his mind, he thought that he might need to run for the position of class monitor, so he talked to Lin Youxi in advance about some issues related to the campaign speech and reviewed the content of the speech with her. He wanted to ensure that Youxi would be elected so that it would make sense for him to be the team leader.
When evening self-study began, Lin Youxi wrote the names of all students currently recorded by all class committee members and group leaders on the blackboard with chalk. After the head teacher finished his opening remarks, he looked back and saw that there were still many vacant positions on the blackboard, so he asked everyone to come up to the stage and fill in the positions they wanted to apply for.
Li Shibing hoped to have 8 team leaders, but there were only 4 people who signed up to be team leaders, which made Li Shibing very annoyed.
"You don't cherish and seize this great training opportunity. When you grow up, you will miss out on many more things. Think about it carefully! You can recommend yourself or someone else can recommend you!"
Mei Fang saw her desk mate Zhang Ming staring at the blackboard, as if he wanted to stand up and then sit down again.
Mei Fang picked up the desire to help others and asked him:
"Zhang Ming, do you want to be the team leader?"
Zhang Ming shook his head immediately after hearing this. "What's the point of being a team leader? I have to help with a lot of trivial matters, and I have to help collect homework. If I encounter someone who is difficult to talk to in the group, I have to offend people. I don't want to do such troublesome things..."
"Really? I saw you wanted to write your name just now..."
"I...I want to poop!"
Mei Fang immediately stood up to make room for Zhang Ming, "Then go quickly, and don't poop in your pants."
"Hey, what are you doing!"
Just as Zhang Ming was about to pull Mei Fang's sleeve, Li Shibing turned his gaze to Mei Fang.
"Mei Fang, why do you still want to choose a class?"
"No, it's Zhang Ming who wants to—"
Zhang Ming grabbed Mei Fang and stopped him from continuing, "I, I want to go up and choose the class leader!"
"Then hurry up and come up! Don't dawdle."
So everyone's eyes turned to Zhang Ming. Zhang Ming blushed and shrank his neck, not daring to speak. He just ran to the blackboard and wrote his name on the team leader's block.
When Zhang Ming returned to his seat, he grabbed Mei Fang's arm and complained to her in a low voice: "You are such a speechless person. Did you do that on purpose? How can you be such a bastard?"
"So... you still want to be the team leader, right? Otherwise, why didn't you say you were going to the toilet?"
"Yes, there is a ghost! I just want to say that Li Shibing is very angry now. If I say I want to go to the toilet, he will twist my head off, right?"
"You're a wimp."
Mei Fang curled his lips. He did have the idea of encouraging Zhang Ming to be the group leader. Although the junior high school group leader only had the simple job of collecting homework, he also had to organize and arrange some things, such as making blackboard newspapers together, cleaning and taking turns, etc., which was more or less a bit of exercise.
Zhang Ming shamelessly responded to Mei Fang's ridicule:
"I'm just a coward. I won't give in until I'm satisfied!"
After he finished speaking, he held his chin with his hand, sighing helplessly, and looked out the window to comfort himself: "Actually, I don't care whether I become the team leader or not. I'm not that resistant..."
Mei Fang patted Zhang Ming on the shoulder and said earnestly:
"Zhang Ming, even though this is still the age of the Kugimiya Four Moe, tsundere will soon be out of fashion. Besides, you're not a pretty girl, so stop being so pretentious."
"Mei Fang, are you sick?"
Zhang Ming cursed at Mei Fang in a very low voice, "What a mess you are talking about, I don't understand a word you say!"
"So do you still want to go to the bathroom? Stop pulling your crotch."
"Hold it back!"
The way the protagonist of this chapter was handled was a bit inappropriate in the first version so some changes were made, but the plot flow has not changed, and the viewing experience will be better, so you can take a look at it again.
