Confessing To The School Queen In Front Of The Whole School - Chapter 19

The next day, Xia Meng arrived at school carrying two lunchboxes.

The students of Class 8 looked at the lunchboxes, and they would not believe that there was nothing going on inside.

Now this looks like someone who is seriously pursuing someone!

Observing Xia Meng’s obvious good mood, Su Hui gathered a few people and began preparing to “marry off their daughter.” They openly started planning: “Let’s go talk to the people in Class 1 after school.”

About the dowry and bride price and all that.

Xia Meng stood in front of them: “Be realistic, friends.”

She really wanted to bang on the table, but ultimately decided against it for fear of hurting her hand, so she gritted her teeth instead.

What dowry and bride price?

Was this something they should be worrying about?

Xia Meng frowned: “How is your tutoring going?”

With money, things were easier. In the end, Su Hui really did manage to find a temporary tutor. When the tutor heard eight hundred yuan an hour, they immediately agreed, terrified that the easy mark would back out.

The easy mark would not back out, because that was Su Hui’s father.

When Su Hui’s father heard his son wanted tutoring, he was so thrilled he spent a fortune. If time had allowed, he would have even tried to hire a university professor.

With such a grand effort, if Su Hui didn’t achieve good grades, he would be severely beaten when he got home.

Su Hui wasn’t worried: “I’m doing alright.”

As the class monitor, his grades were quite good for Class 8.

The focus was on everyone else.

Xia Meng’s gaze swept across them, and before she could even ask, they started acting like ostriches, hiding their heads.

Xia Meng: When did I become so intimidating?

They wanted to spit blood: “Brothers, we tried our best. We studied together in a group last night, but when we checked the answers…”

A group of them worked on the questions together, yet the accuracy rate never exceeded sixty percent.

Sigh.

It was a struggle for them.

Su Hui remarked: “I told you all to come along, but you were too shy. Eight hundred yuan, you really think my dad is an easy mark? What’s the harm in a few more people joining?”

With that, he pulled out a stack of A4 papers.

To be able to convince Su Hui’s father to willingly be an easy mark, that tutor must have had some skill.

These papers contained the key points highlighted by the tutor, based on the question styles of the First High School’s teachers throughout history. As long as they memorized it, passing should not be an issue.

The only question was how much of this the students could actually memorize.

Today was the last day; they would have to leave it to fate. At least they had worked hard for Old Yang.

Su Hui thought for a moment, feeling a little sad: “Why is my tutor a forty-year-old middle-aged man?”

Compared to Xia Meng’s beautiful older sister, Su Hui felt insignificant.

He hesitated whether to give a copy to Xia Meng.

After all, Tao Yun was a big shot in Class 1—an absolute titan compared to Class 8. Her tutoring would certainly be very useful, but perhaps unnecessary for Xia Meng.

Xia Meng put aside her pride: “Monitor, give me a copy.”

Su Hui: “…”

Wait, you’re a campus beauty and a top student. Even with this kind of teaching, you can’t grasp it?

Xia Meng was too embarrassed to say that she had been too busy looking at the beauty. She looked eagerly at Su Hui, hoping their deep friendship would prove useful.

Su Hui silently handed her a copy.

Xia Meng was immensely grateful.

With the “Grand Experience Book,” which promised level-ups just by reading, the morale of Class 8 greatly increased.

“Worst case, we won’t sleep tonight. We absolutely must memorize this thing!”

Very good, I am very pleased.

Su Hui was moved. He nodded, his eyes filled with tears. Just as he was about to say something, the students of Class 8 quickly dispersed, acting as if nothing had happened. When he looked confused, Xia Meng signaled that the teacher was coming.

So what if the teacher is coming? Don’t the teachers know what Class 8 is like?

He turned around and saw, whoa, it was Old Yang.

He really didn’t seem to know what Class 8 was like.

No matter what happened, what people outside said about Class 8, or how other teachers teased and ridiculed them, Old Yang would always say gently: “My students are very good.”

The source of his hope and expectations for the students of Class 8 had always been a mystery.

In any case, when other teachers came to Class 8, they just taught casually.

Only Old Yang taught seriously every time, afraid they wouldn’t understand, and spoke very slowly.

Su Hui also calmed down.

This was a tough battle they were fighting for Old Yang, and perhaps a small repayment to him.

Old Yang placed the textbook on the podium: “Students, let’s begin the class!”

“In this class, we will cover Unit 6 from the previous module…”

That’s right, the oddball Old Yang was still teaching lessons from the previous semester.

Xia Meng couldn’t bear to watch.

After the four classes ended.

It was lunchtime, and Xia Meng carried the lunchboxes to the Student Council office.

She and Tao Yun were not in the same class, and it would be a bit awkward to bring the lunchboxes to the canteen, so Tao Yun simply suggested the Student Council office, since they wouldn’t mind.

The Student Council…

Yesterday afternoon was her first time there.

And on the second day, she was brazenly coming here for lunch.

Xia Meng saw the Student Council door was ajar and walked straight in.

There were quite a few people inside. Seeing Xia Meng, they greeted her warmly: “You’re eating lunch here too? The microwave is over there.”

Special privileges.

Xia Meng used the microwave to heat the food. Tao Yun had not arrived yet; the top student class seemed to get out of school later.

Behind her, the other members were discussing the upcoming Sports Meet.

Teachers were especially busy before and after the mid-term exams, and the Sports Meet was scheduled shortly after the exams. For the event to proceed normally, the Student Council had to take time to prepare.

Xia Meng didn’t know much about this. She had always valued participation.

She was reluctantly forced to participate in competitions, and casually managed to win one or two awards.

These were upperclassmen who had experience, so the discussion was going smoothly.

Xia Meng listened for a while, then cautiously raised her hand: “Is there anything I can do?”

After all, she was a member of the Student Council now, wasn’t she?

An older student looked at Xia Meng, wanting to say: Sweetie, just stay put. Give us some entertainment while we’re busy; that’s what a mascot is supposed to do.

Since saying that wouldn’t be appropriate, she thought for a moment: “Is the Publicity Department short-handed?”

Putting the mascot in the Publicity Department was also a good choice.

The head of the Publicity Department happened to be present, but he dared not speak!

Xia Meng was great, and he wanted her too.

However, being greedy leads to trouble. The Publicity Department already had Chu Yun… The head of the Publicity Department frantically signaled to the upperclassman to quickly switch to another department!

They would definitely be happy to have Xia Meng!

The upperclassman remembered and became silent.

The other upperclassmen quickly said: “How about the Logistics Committee? They have to buy a lot of supplies, they definitely need your help!”

Xia Meng: “Ah, sure.”

Buying things, she was good at that.

“She can’t.”

Tao Yun entered the Student Council office.

She arrived a little late, only hearing the last two sentences, but could guess what they had been discussing. Tao Yun had little expression on her face, and her rebuttal to the upperclassman was habitual.

She walked over to Xia Meng’s side.

The two lunchboxes were placed together. They had been opened for heating, and Aunt Zhang’s meticulously prepared bento was appealing in color, aroma, and taste.

Xia Meng was waiting for Tao Yun to eat together, sitting properly in her seat.

Hearing Tao Yun’s voice, she looked up at her, her eyes slightly curved into a smile. No matter what Tao Yun had just said, smiling was the answer.

She was happy just seeing Tao Yun.

Whatever Tao Yun said was final.

No bottom line, no reason, that was just how willful she was.

Tao Yun found the constant gaze unbearable. She turned to look at the others: “Xia Meng is already struggling with the mid-term exams. She can’t help, and besides, she has to be the flag-bearer later.”

The upperclassmen: “…”

Isn’t everyone like that?

It sounded as if the people present didn’t have to take exams, and as if the people present didn’t have other things to do. This was clearly protection! This was blatant favoritism!

This was clearly sugar!

They secretly observed Tao Yun and Xia Meng, and then looked at the two lunchboxes in front of Xia Meng.

They thought Xia Meng just had a good appetite.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

She’s bringing lunchboxes for someone, they’re eating together.

How could they possibly care about the Sports Meet then! Lin Ruoruo recommending Xia Meng into the Student Council must have had this underlying intention! This was bringing the person back to show everyone!

What was there to see!

Xia Meng was so obedient and cute! They approved of this marriage!

Please, get married immediately! Forget planning the Sports Meet, they’ll organize your wedding right now!

As members of the Student Council, they certainly had the means for that!

The people present in the Student Council office were overwhelmed by emotion. They watched, mesmerized, as Tao Yun sat next to Xia Meng.

And Xia Meng pushed one of the portions toward Tao Yun: “Here, let’s eat together.”

!!!

Tao Yun, seriously, please get married.

“Ahem!”

The upperclassman was forced to break the lovely atmosphere between the two.

Meeting Tao Yun’s gaze, she stammered: “We appreciate Xia Meng’s kind intentions, but we really hope that Xia Meng can have a happy experience at the Sports Meet.”

For example, giving them a short break so the couple can stroll around during the Sports Meet or something.

That would be perfect material for the Publicity Department to film.

The head of the Publicity Department also nodded: “The upperclassmen can handle it.”

Xia Meng’s attention was drawn by their voices: “Are you sure you don’t need any help?”

They repeatedly shook their heads: “No, no, no need!”

“We hope Xia Meng gets a good grade on the mid-term exam!”

Xia Meng: “…”

Thinking about the excellent students who entered the Student Council, and then thinking about the “good grade” they spoke of.

Xia Meng felt that helping out would be perfectly fine.

Not tiring at all, not at all disturbing.

Tao Yun was eating.

Aunt Zhang’s cooking was truly excellent. Even though Tao Yun didn’t prioritize food, she couldn’t help but eat a few extra bites. Fortunately, Aunt Zhang gave generous portions and didn’t worry about girls being conscious of their figures.

She ate while the corner of her lips curved up.

She watched Xia Meng happily interact with this group of silly people.

Her eyes were filled with deep affection.

Then, seeing that Xia Meng still hadn’t figured out why they were suddenly so excited, Tao Yun felt she had a long road ahead.

The one who rushed forward to confess was clearly her.

But the one who remained completely unaware was also her.

This silly child. Tao Yun pursed her lips in displeasure: “Eat.”

Xia Meng held up the lunchbox: “Mhm! Mhm!”
