Yu Tongjie went up to the fourth floor, the entire open corridor was a ss, with wet water stains all over the floor.
The cold wind blew, and he tightened his coat.
He looked up just in ti to see Li Qingrong’s silhouette entering the class, and his mood improved sowhat.
He put away his umbrella and entered the classroom.
Li Qingrong’s seat was in the first group, not far from his own seat. Due to the three-person per row setup, the classroom space was cramped, and the aisle was super narrow.
How to say it, the zero class’s aisle was wide enough for five people to kiss.
The privileged treatnt for the top students.
After all, each of them was outstanding with scores starting at 985, the pride of Zhenan Middle School. The two classes together had fewer than eighty people, and even had two-person dorms for boarding students.
Fridge, washing machine, als and lodging included, and a monthly living allowance. Good exam results co with scholarships, and winning prizes ans bonuses, emphasizing exclusivity.
Yu Tongjie walked through the narrow aisle and happened to see Li Qingrong looking up, instinctively greeting him.
"Morning."
"Mm." Li Qingrong responded, then withdrew his gaze.
Yu Tongjie kept a straight face, but internally he was ecstatic, a huge joy flowing from his limbs to his heart. Thump, thump, thump, his mind went blank for a mont, unsure where to go.
Sure enough, his decision to sign up for the sports et was correct!
Yu maintained his silence, showing neither happiness nor anger. Sitting at his desk, he lowered his head to take out books from his bag, a slight joy flitting through his eyes.
He began to look forward to the sports et, even finding Jiang Nian, who was erasing the blackboard and doing his duties, pleasing to the eye.
Suddenly, Yu Tongjie realized that Jiang Nian seed to have signed up for the 3000 ters too.
Instantly, he felt unnatural. Why was he everywhere? Hopefully, they wouldn’t be in the sa batch. He wondered about Jiang Nian’s athletic ability.
Long-distance running had no preliminaries, participants went straight to the finals, but it was organized in batches.
Zhenan Middle School sports et organizers never separated sports students from non-sports students, nor science from arts students, only boys from girls, but most sports students were in parallel classes.
This rule didn’t really affect parallel or key classes.
So your class has sports students?
But it did affect classes above the Olympic class, especially zero class.
Not to stereotype.
Sure, there were tall and strong nerds, but zero class had fewer people, lacking an advantage. The Olympic class had more people, but so were unwilling to join the sports et, having a bit of resistance.
Yu Tongjie naturally thought, if there was soone to take the lead, that would be good. Otherwise, sports commissioner Liu Yang wouldn’t have a choice but to either step up himself or find Li Qingrong for help.
So, was the 3000 ters about ranking?
No, it was about perseverance.
As long as he could run the entire course, even finishing last wouldn’t matter. Seeing beyond the problem, he wasn’t there for class honor.
As long as he let Li Qingrong see that he finished the entire course even if in a sorry state, even if not moved, at least her previous impression would change.
It was Li Qingrong after all. If it were soone else, he wouldn’t go through the trouble to run.
The third group.
Before the morning reading session began, Li Hua was causing a ruckus at his seat, "How’s the blackboard being cleaned, there’s still dirt over there, can’t you see?"
Jiang Nian put down the cloth and went to the back silently. Two minutes later, Ma Guojun, Jiang Nian, and another boy ca over, directly carrying Li Hua out.
"Ah! I was wrong! I was wrong! Brother! I’ll clean the board today!"
In the corridor, the chubby Ma Guojun adjusted his glasses, smiling.
"This guy is just cheap, deserves it."
After a while, they were chatting in the corridor, talking about the sports et the day after tomorrow, Thursday.
"I’ll bring my phone then, anyway, Lao Liu won’t care those days." Ma Guojun adjusted his glasses again, "We could probably play a movie in class."
"Not the first day, right?" Li Hua leaned against the corridor’s iron railing, ending his gaze, turned around and said, "The first day will probably be strict, roll call in both the morning and afternoon."
"Lao Liu will probably have sports commissioner Liu Yang handle roll call, let him be lenient." another person said.
Ma Guojun beca serious, "It’s likely the class president."
Everyone fell silent upon hearing this.
Another boy nad Li Jiawen said, "Lao Liu wouldn’t be that outrageous, right? If the class president did roll call, wouldn’t it be like being in jail for three days during the sports et?"
"Hard to say, Lao Liu doesn’t shy away from doing absurd things."
"Li Hua, you go deal with Lao Liu!"
" deal with Lao Liu?" Li Hua was bewildered.
"Then there’s no helping it, just wait to suffer, it’s destined to feel like being jailed for three days."
"Don’t be so pessimistic, what if it isn’t so?" Li Hua comforted with high emotional intelligence, "Besides, even if Liu Yang is overpowered by the class president, we still have Brother Nian."
Li Jiawen hesitated for a mont, "Have Brother Nian deal with Lao Liu?"
Ma Guojun joined in, "You never know, Jiang Nian might just be able to handle Lao Liu. I’m telling you, Lao Liu looks off when he sees Jiang Nian."
"It always feels like there’s sothing between them, but they’re keeping it secret."
"Don’t talk nonsense, there’s nothing." Jiang Nian debunked, "Lao Liu told to be more generous and not mind Yu Tongjie, harmony is precious among classmates."
"What the hell with harmony!" Ma Guojun blurted out.
No wonder he’s a green card on Tieba.
"Pure idiot." Li Hua added.
"Definitely quite absurd." Li Jiawen, who was a peripheral mber of the small group factions, didn’t speak too heavily.
The conversation ended there, and Ma Guojun and Li Hua naturally didn’t pursue other topics, to prevent any unknown exposure one day.
"Serious talk, Nian, handle the class president." Li Hua patted his shoulder, "If the class president really takes roll call, the welfare of the brothers depends on you."
Jiang Nian glanced at Li Hua, curiously asked.
"Why do you think my words will work?"
"Isn’t it a fact?" Li Hua spread his hands, glanced at Ma Guojun and Li Jiawen, "A recognized fact, who else could go have als with the class president?"
"Exaggerated, just a coincidence." Jiang Nian said casually, but his mind involuntarily recalled what Li Qingrong said in the corridor this morning.
[Our class boys don’t want to run the 3000 ters, you signed up first. Long-distance running relies heavily on rhythm, if you need soone with experience to run alongside and set the pace...]
[You can ask .]
The class president was quite responsible, just a bit rigid.
Ring, ring, ring.
Morning reading started, and the four of them gradually entered the classroom.
Today was group six’s turn for cleaning, and the school was lenient with the Olympic class. So, classroom cleaning was rather casual, and the designated cleaning area was the lightest.
So the Olympic class three always had a combined classroom and designated area, rotating by groups.
In the morning, the classroom didn’t need attention, just required a quick check during morning reading in the designated area. Due to the rain... the six of them could only take brooms as umbrellas when going out.
The sky was gray and it was drizzling lightly.
Zhang Ningzhi and Huang Fang carried the tin garbage pans at the back, while the four boys ahead each carried a red plastic broom, destroying flowers and plants as they walked.
Jiang Nian suddenly asked, "Hua, where is Long San reading up to?"
