Chapter 172 Selecting a Class Monitor
There are winners of national high school physics competitions, mathematics competitions, chemistry competitions, and English speech contests...
Speaking of which, not going to junior high school meant missing out on many opportunities to participate in competitions. It wasn't for fame or money, but mainly because I was greedy for the system rewards. Sigh, I missed out on a fortune!
The students not only excel academically but are also multi-talented, excelling in various arts such as Latin dance, folk dance, street dance, Go, singing, and painting.
Even if it's just a hobby, you can excel at it and win countless trophies.
Lin Xi sighed silently, these people are the true prodigies of heaven. Principal Dong is really something, he actually managed to gather so many outstanding students together.
When it was Lin Xishi's turn, everyone looked at her expectantly, including Du Ying.
They considered themselves to be very good, but they seemed to be a little lacking compared to Lin Xi.
She's the real genius. At just nine years old, she not only skipped grades to high school but also wrote a bestselling book of essays that became incredibly popular. I heard she's also a novelist.
They can't reach that age.
Lin Xi was unaware of what others were thinking. At that moment, she felt very insignificant, that there were many geniuses, and that she needed to work even harder.
"Hello everyone, my name is Lin Xi. Although I am younger than you, I am quite mature. I hope you will not treat me like a child and just treat me normally."
There was a long silence. That's it? That's all? Aren't you going to tell me about your glorious deeds?
When it comes to self-introductions, they're most looking forward to Lin Xi!
Du Ying was the first to react, clapping her hands, and enthusiastic applause followed.
No matter what, they will protect this little sister. She's so cute and adorable, who wouldn't love her?
After everyone finished introducing themselves, Du Ying stepped onto the podium and said, "To ensure the efficient operation of class affairs, we need to elect a substitute class monitor to assist me in maintaining discipline, organizing activities, and relaying tasks."
The self-introductions just now gave everyone a first impression of each other. Please choose the student you think is suitable for this position. Of course, this is temporary. A month later, when everyone has a better understanding of each other, we will hold another election.
A lively discussion immediately broke out in the classroom, and someone even called out Lin Xi's name.
Actually, no one is willing to admit defeat to anyone else. You may be good, but I am not bad either.
But if Lin Xi were to become the class monitor, they would be quite happy, not because they were particularly impressed, but because it would be quite fun to have a cute little girl keeping an eye on them every day.
Therefore, Lin Xi's popularity grew louder and louder, and eventually they even reached a consensus.
Lin Xi was so frightened that she waved her hands repeatedly. She didn't have time at all; she was too busy studying.
Du Ying could tell that Lin Xi seemed genuinely unwilling to accept the position, so she clapped her hands and said, "Lin Xi, everyone approves of you. What are your thoughts?"
"Thank you for your support, but I don't want to be class monitor. I'm already struggling with my studies, and I don't have the extra energy to organize class affairs. Out of a sense of responsibility to everyone, I'd like to choose a more versatile classmate!"
Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that it made sense. She was young and had skipped junior high school to go straight to high school, so she would definitely have to put in a lot of effort in her studies, otherwise she would easily fall behind. It seemed that they would have to take better care of her in the future.
Only Du Ying's lips twitched. "I don't believe you for a second. Someone who can finish a grade-skipping exam in two hours and get a perfect score would have trouble studying? Even the top scorer in the high school entrance exam didn't get a perfect score!"
The students immediately volunteered; since Lin Xi wasn't going to take the role, they would.
The class monitor election process was the shortest among all classes, with only one class taking more than half an hour.
After all, this is the top class, and everyone is outstanding. Who among them wasn't a star student in school before?
When Du Ying stated that a class monitor must have a spirit of helping others and selfless dedication, and that being more outstanding is not necessarily better, the votes finally shifted.
It was Li Xiaonuan, the first girl to greet Lin Xi.
As her name suggests, she is a lively, cheerful, warm, and kind girl. When introducing herself, she mentioned that she often accompanies her parents to nursing homes or orphanages to help out.
That alone made a good impression on everyone.
After electing the class monitor, Du Ying led everyone to collect their books, school uniforms, and military training uniforms.
Just as Lin Xi was picking and choosing, trying to find the smallest size, Du Ying handed her two sets of clothes separately, saying, "Xiao Xi, these are for you."
When ordering the school uniform, Dong Yongshu personally called the factory and specially ordered a set for Lin Xi.
This is unprecedented. When the previous overweight student wanted to order a school uniform, Dong Yongshu refused outright and insisted that the student lose weight to the standard weight.
However, Dong Yongshu was unaware that Lin Xi would set more and more precedents for him in the future, and the rules he had set would be broken one by one by Lin Xi, leaving him helpless.
Lin Xi accepted the gift with both hands, expressing her deepest gratitude.
Du Ying gave everyone a few instructions and then sent them back to their dormitories.
Lin Xi carried the clothes back, and Li Xiaonuan followed. "Xiao Xi, which dormitory do you live in?"
"501, what about you?"
Li Xiaonuan's eyes lit up. "Wow, what a coincidence! I'm also in 501!"
Lin Xi really liked this cheerful girl. "Hehe, we're quite destined to be together."
Li Xiaonuan is very sensitive to people's attitudes. At first, she felt that although Lin Xi looked soft and cute, there was always a faint sense of aloofness. But now she felt that she was overthinking it and that Lin Xi was actually quite easy to get along with.
She took Lin Xi's arm and chattered on about how difficult it was for her to get into the top high school, asking Lin Xi how she studied.
There were also various stories I'd heard about No. 1 High School, such as how abnormal Principal Dong Yongshu was, how everyone had to do morning and evening exercises every day, and how even if you took a day off, you had to make it up later, how you weren't allowed to bring snacks or cell phones, and how the dormitories were inspected regularly...
As they talked, they finally reached the fifth floor. Lin Xi looked at Li Xiaonuan, who was panting heavily, and admired her immensely. Even though she was so tired, she hadn't stopped talking.
"Xiao Xi...you, how come you're not tired!"
"I exercise regularly and have good physical strength."
Lin Xi helped Li Xiaonuan, who couldn't straighten her back, to her feet. "You, you're so strong! Xiao...Xiao Xi, what did you eat to grow up like this? Does spicy hot pot really strengthen your body?"
"Xiao Nuan, why don't you catch your breath before you speak? Won't that make you more tired?"
"No...no, I have to talk to distract myself."
Opening the dormitory door, there are four beds inside, each with a desk underneath and a wardrobe, as well as a bathroom.
To be honest, the conditions were better than I expected.
The school dormitory she used to live in was pitifully small.
There are six bunk beds, with only one narrow aisle, and a row of old wooden tables squeezed in between.
Not to mention the lack of private bathrooms; you have to queue every day to use the toilet.
Li Xiaonuan exclaimed in surprise, "Principal Dong isn't actually that abnormal."
A moment later, two girls walked in. One of them had short hair as long as Lin Xi's and had a sunny smile.
