Only After I Was Reborn Did I Realize That I Had Childhood Sweethearts

Chapter 65: Election and Grouping

Chapter 65: Election and Grouping

The results of this exam are out, to be honest, its hard to imagine that this is the level that students from Class A of Experimental Middle School can achieve. I dont know what else youve been listening to during the class.

After spending less than a month with everyone, the homeroom teacher, Li Shibing, had already entered scolding and complaining mode.

In the math test, only 7 people scored above 100, while Class 8 next door has twice as many as us! Isnt that embarrassing!?

Ive been teaching for so many years, and you can truly be considered the worst class Ive ever had. Each one of you needs to reflect on what went wrong. After I finish discussing the questions, each of you must submit a self-reflection Oh, by the way, Lin Youxi doesnt need to write one.

Then, Ill read out the scores of those who scored above 100. Teacher Li started reading out the scores one by one, Lin Youxi, 120 points; Mei Fang, 119; Chen Jie, 111; Huang Zhe, 107; Lu Xueqing, 104

What the heck?! Do I have to write a self-reflection even with 119 points?

Mei Fang realized that he made a mistake by writing an extra dash on one of his answers and felt extremely regretful.

When Mei Fang was in elementary school, Teacher Yu didnt place much emphasis on grades, except for major exams. She rarely did this kind of individual score reading, as it would put pressure on those who didnt perform well, but for those who did well, it was a kind of commendation ceremony.

Overall, this did indeed help stimulate competitiveness and a desire to be on top.

But the class top student, Lin Youxi, didnt need this at all.

As she walked back to her seat with her test paper, she saw everyone looking up at her with admiration and envy.

In addition, youve now been interacting with your classmates and those around you for about a month. For tonights self-study session, we wont be studying. Instead, well have elections for the class committee, and then well rearrange the seating and form new study groups. If you are interested in running for a position, please sign up over there with Lin Youxi.

Lin Youxi didnt complain on helping the homeroom teacher. After making a list, she poked Mei Fang with a pen.

Ah Fang, do you want to run for a class officer position?

Mei Fang shook his head, Im not interested. I prefer doing my own thing.

I see.

Lin Youxi lowered her head as if thinking about something, and Mei Fang understood her thoughts.

Do you want to run for the class monitor?

Lin Youxi shook her head at first, then hesitated for a while.

A little Although there are many tasks and responsibilities, I think its a good opportunity for growth. I just dont know if everyone is willing to vote for me

I definitely will.

Mei Fang was definitely encouraging Lin Youxi to make some changes. If you want to be the class monitor, just write your name down. I wholeheartedly support you!

Then you should also become a class officer. Lin Youxi started persuading Mei Fang. This way, you can also gain some experience.

Me?

Yeah. Lin Youxi nodded. If you dont want to, then I might not want to either.

Mei Fang thought to himself, Shes too much Why does she want me to accompany her in everything?

He was about to decline but then changed his mind after a moment of hesitation.

Let me think I can be a group leader. Help me write it down.

Okay!

According to the rules set by the homeroom teacher, Li Shibing, before the end of the night self-study, they first needed to elect class officers and group leaders. Each study group will have one group leader and two class officers, and they can freely choose their group members. In that case, Mei Fang could be grouped together with Youxi.

Since its the same group, the two of them wont be sitting too far apart.

After Mei Fang made up his mind, he thought that the position of class monitor might require a campaign speech. So, he discussed some campaign speech topics with Lin Youxi in advance, and reviewed what to say, ensuring that Youxi could be elected.

When night self-study started, Lin Youxi wrote down all the students names who were running for class officer positions and group leaders on the blackboard with chalk. When the homeroom teacher finished his opening speech and turned around to look, he saw that there were still many vacant positions on the blackboard, and he let everyone come up and fill in the positions they wanted to apply for.

Li Shibing hoped to have a total of eight group leaders, but only four people actually applied, which made Li Shibing very annoyed.

You dont appreciate such a good opportunity for personal growth. When you grow up, youll miss out on even more things. Think about it carefully! Self-nomination or nomination by others is both acceptable!

Li Shibing continued to lecture, and some hesitant students went up to write their names.

Mei Fang saw his deskmate Zhang Ming staring at the blackboard, and seemed like he was about to stand up but then sat back down.

Mei Fang, being helpful, asked him, Zhang Ming, do you want to be a group leader?

After hearing this, Zhang Ming quickly shook his head. Why would I want to be a group leader? There are so many troublesome things to handle, like collecting homework and dealing with difficult people in the group. I dont want to do such a troublesome thing

Are you really not interested? I saw that you seemed like you wanted to go up and write your name just now

B-because I need to go to the bathroom!

Mei Fang immediately stood up to make a way for Zhang Ming and said, Then go quickly, dont poop in your pants.

Hey, what are you doing?!

Zhang Ming was about to pull Mei Fangs sleeve, but Li Shibings gaze fell on Mei Fang.

Mei Fang, do you want to run for a class officer position too?

No, its Zhang Ming who wants

Zhang Ming grabbed Mei Fang and stopped him from speaking further, I I want to be a group leader!

Then hurry up! Dont dawdle.

Everyones gaze turned to Zhang Ming. Zhang Ming blushed and shrank his neck, too afraid to speak. He just ran to the blackboard and wrote his name on the section for the group leaders.

When Zhang Ming returned to his seat, he grabbed Mei Fangs arm and complained in a low voice, You, seriously, youre unbelievable. Did you do that on purpose? You dog!

So you actually want to be a group leader, huh? Then, why didnt you say that you wanted to go to the bathroom to teacher?

No, theres no way! Its just that Teacher Li is angry right now. If I said I wanted to go to the bathroom, wouldnt he twist my head off?

You coward.

Mei Fang pursed his lips. He did have the idea of encouraging Zhang Ming to become a group leader. Although being a group leader in middle school was just a simple job of collecting homework, it also involved organizing and arranging things, such as making blackboard newspaper for the class, coordinating cleaning duties, and more, which provided some valuable experience.

Zhang Ming retorted Mei Fangs teasing, Yes, I am a coward, so what? If you dont like it, deal with it!

After saying that, he propped his cheek on his hand and sighed helplessly. His gaze drifted to the window, and he consoled himself, Actually, whether I become the group leader or not, I dont really mind

Mei Fang patted Zhang Mings shoulder and said with deep meaning, Zhang Ming, dont forget that this isnt the era of the Four Tsundere Wonders^[1] anymore, and tsunderes popularity will soon going to fade. Besides, youre not a cute girl, so dont be overly dramatic.

Mei Fang, are you crazy?!

Zhang Ming muttered to Mei Fang in a very low voice, What nonsense are you talking about? I cant understand a word!

Then do you still want to go to the bathroom? Dont poop in your pants.

Ill hold it in!
