The classroom fell silent for a second, and then erupted. "Damn it, Class Monitor, you're giving one - on - one tutoring now. How come you don't give me such a good deal? My hand is numb from copying."
"You just don't get it. Do you know what this is called? It's called 'The Bossy Class Monitor Falls in Love with Me'. Hehe, it's so sweet. I wish there were more sugar in this ship."
"Oh my god, it's so sweet. The Class Monitor is so good at this. I declare that I'm going to be a die - hard fan of their ship."
"The Class Monitor protecting Lin Jinran some time ago already made me cry. I believed that there's still true love in this world. Now seeing them on the live - stream connection, it's so visually impactful."
"Gossiping vigorously makes people happy, and munching on juicy gossip makes people look radiant."
"..."
Zhang Qiaozhi, sitting under the podium, was so angry that she laughed. She tightly squeezed the fragile ballpoint pen in her hand. Unwillingly, she said, "Class Monitor, you're blatantly abusing your privilege!"
Su Qinian tilted his head slightly, casually glanced at her, and said calmly, "You were the one who said it was a waste of everyone's time, and now you're the one saying I'm abusing my privilege. Zhang Qiaozhi, then tell me, what should I do?"
"Yeah, what should I do? I just copy slowly. It's not a big deal." Lin Jinran said innocently, holding her books.
"I, I, you, you..." With so many people watching, Zhang Qiaozhi couldn't say a word for a long time. She angrily threw down her ballpoint pen.
Lin Jinran ignored her. She walked straight forward, pulled out a chair, and sat next to Su Qinian.
"If you're not satisfied, you can report it to the head teacher. This is everyone's time. Let's talk about other things after class."
Su Qinian spread out the test paper, putting half of it in front of Lin Jinran. He lowered his head and read it out again.
The students in the class who had been watching the show picked up their pens and continued to copy.
"Material Two first puts forward a similar view that in ancient China, paintings and poems have different essences. Then it argues..."
Sitting next to Su Qinian with the test - paper answers right in front of her, Lin Jinran no longer copied in a flurry. After copying this sentence, she immediately picked up Su Qinian's test paper and copied from it.
While waiting for everyone to finish copying, Su Qinian's eyes flickered slightly. He naturally noticed that the test paper in Lin Jinran's hand was his. The corner of his mouth curved up imperceptibly, and his eyes and eyebrows softened, looking like the hazy beauty after a rain in the south of the Yangtze River, veiling everything in a gentle mist.
After class, Su Qinian completed his task successfully. Lin Jinran also finished copying two test papers. She gave Su Qinian's copy back to him and said, "Here you are. I've finished copying it for you. See, I've lightened your burden."
Su Qinian took it and smiled faintly. "You don't have to be in such a hurry. You could finish yours first, and then I'll copy from yours. Then we wouldn't be in such a rush."
"It's just a piece of cake. Don't thank me too much." Lin Jinran said with a sly smile. "Besides, your arm was injured before. You should move the pen less and rest more. This can also ease my guilt a bit."
"I knew it. No wonder Sister Lin was copying so slowly. It turns out you copied a paper for Brother Su." Lu Youchuan bounced onto the podium, walked around the two of them, and suddenly realized.
Suddenly, a test paper was stuffed into his arms.
Lu Youchuan took it out and saw that it was the test - paper answers. He was stunned.
Su Qinian patted the back of his head, coaxing him like a child. "Be good. Help me take this to Class Two next door."
Lu Youchuan: "..."
So he came here just to be a errand boy for Su and Lin's love story?
Lu Youchuan endured the pain and carried out his task.
During the last evening self - study session, the PE monitor came onto the podium again to announce an unfortunate piece of news. "The school requires us to fill in all the events. The girls' 3000 - meter race, the boys' 4000 - meter race, the caterpillar race... These events haven't been filled yet. Is there anyone who wants to sign up?"
"What's the caterpillar race?" Someone raised their hand and asked.
"The caterpillar race is where we sit on a caterpillar - shaped prop and compete with other classes. The first one to reach the finish line wins. It requires six people. It's a new event. Is there anyone who wants to sign up?"
Everyone chose to remain silent.
It sounded simple, but was it really that easy?
It was a new event. Who knew what kind of thing it was? What if they made a fool of themselves?
"This sounds so much fun." Lin Jinran rubbed her hands together, her eyes shining. "Wanna play? This is the last school sports meet in high school. If we miss this, we won't have another chance."
"Do you want to play?" Su Qinian asked. Seeing Lin Jinran nodding vigorously, he couldn't help but smile. "Then I'll participate too. But we need six people, and it also requires a good sense of teamwork."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Jinran immediately reached out and patted the two people in front of her. She smiled brightly. "Hey, wanna play the caterpillar race with us?"
"Since Jinran wants to play, I'll join in." Tao Wan laughed heartily. "It's just right. I haven't participated in any competitions yet."
One down. Lin Jinran stared eagerly at Jiang Xiubin.
Jiang Xiubin smiled helplessly. "Since the three of you are participating, I'll join too. We'll be six people together. Four of us already make up more than half. I just don't know who the other two will be."
While Lin Jinran was persuading the two in front of her, Su Qinian had already convinced Lu Youchuan and Xie Wanyu.
The six of us should be together as one.
In the end, the six of them signed up for the caterpillar race as they wished.
There was still one spot left for the girls' 3000 - meter race. The PE monitor was in a dilemma. At the suggestion of other classmates, he wrote down the names of every female classmate on pieces of paper and then drew lots.
There were more than twenty paper balls on the podium. The discipline monitor helped to mix them up, and the PE monitor randomly drew a lucky one. He opened the paper ball and read out, "Zhang Qiaozhi."
All the girls present breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Qiaozhi's face immediately turned pale.
"Zhang Qiaozhi, do you have any problems? If not, it's settled that you'll participate." The PE monitor asked.
"She's so unlucky." Lin Jinran said, holding her chin. "3000 meters! Running that would take half of one's life."
Zhang Qiaozhi raised her hand tremblingly. "Actually... I'm sick."
"Ah, you're sick?" The PE monitor repeated. "Is it true or false? I never heard you mention it when we ran the 800 - meter race before. Don't make up lies to avoid it."
"Really, really. I just can't do strenuous exercise for too long. Do you want proof? I'll go back and get it for you this weekend during the holiday."
Zhang Qiaozhi sounded so convincing that the PE monitor didn't continue to doubt. He waved his hand, put Zhang Qiaozhi's paper aside, and drew again.
All the girls' hearts were in their throats.
"What should I do? I have a feeling it's going to be me this time. I'm so worried." Lin Jinran patted her chest, trying to calm herself down.
"It's okay. There's only a 5% chance. You won't be that unlucky." Su Qinian comforted her.
But the next second, the PE monitor announced, "Lin Jinran."
Lin Jinran fell silent on the spot.
"Can you run?" The PE monitor asked with concern.
Su Qinian turned to her and asked, "Do your best. Don't push yourself too hard. If you really can't, just forget it."
"No problem." Lin Jinran managed to squeeze out these three words after a long silence.
Sure enough, what you fear the most is what will come.
