"Zhilan, 504 is here!"

Xia Minmin heard someone calling Zhilan outside. She thought of her friend Lin Zhilan, who had also applied to Peking University. She wondered if it was her.

"Class monitor!"

A gust of wind rushed towards Xia Minmin and hugged her. Ah! It really was Lin Lanzhi.

"Class monitor, I never expected to be so lucky to share a dorm room with you."

Lin Lanzhi's mother pushed her suitcase in. In such a large school, it was a happy thing to meet a familiar person and even be in the same dormitory. It also made her feel a little more at ease.

"Xiaomin, I feel at ease with you here. If anything happens in the future, you two can take care of each other. You can also fly back home together."

"Oh, Mom, don't worry! Most of our classmates are at Peking University and Tsinghua University. We can bump into many of them. No one will dare to bully us. Besides, we're here to study, not to fight. What's there to worry about?"

Duran then realized that there really was a class that could get into Peking University and Tsinghua University.

Lin Lanzhi's bed was above Xia Minmin's. Seeing that her daughter had a familiar friend, Lin Lanzhi's mother rested for a while and then left.

"Class monitor, did you bring your laptop?"

"Okay, the broadband is all set up. Do you want to go get broadband later?"

"Great! Let's have a class get-together after military training!"

"I'm fine."

Wu Yue really wanted to know where they were from? How come they were all so rich? Everyone brought a laptop; she was envious.

At 6 p.m., Xia Minmin and her classmates arrived at the classroom as instructed by their counselor.

"Squad leader!" a hearty male voice called out.

It was all familiar classmates again. Xia Minmin never expected to meet so many old classmates at Guanghua, and even be in the same class.

But thinking about it, the reason is obvious. There are many business people in Shenzhen, and many of my old classmates' parents are business people. These classmates will probably follow in their fathers' footsteps in the future.

Xia Minmin had a bad feeling.

The counselor arranged for everyone to take turns introducing themselves and also selected class officers.

Two people, a boy and a girl, went on stage to give campaign speeches for class monitor. Xia Minmin, who had served as class monitor for six years, felt utterly exhausted and decided to focus on her studies in college.

"Class monitor, why don't you go up and run for class monitor?"

"Go up, squad leader! We all support you."

There were only thirty students in the class, ten of whom were Xia Minmin's old classmates. The rest of the class stared at her.

"Little bitch, she's just relying on having a lot of old classmates. What's so great about her? She can't even accept a change of bed. What right does someone like her have to run for class monitor? She needs to be begged and pleaded three or four times to run for class monitor." Zhong Xi's voice wasn't quiet.

Zhong Xi has sparked controversy.

"This person's mouth is so dirty!"

"They want others to switch beds and they're so self-righteous about it."

"She probably thinks the whole world should revolve around her!"

"I hate people who don't follow the rules. The beds have already been assigned, why would I want to change them?"

After leaving the dormitory in a huff in the afternoon, Zhong Xi returned dejectedly, made her bed in her original spot, and then left the dormitory again.

The classroom became noisy, and the counselor stepped in to maintain order. "Quiet! Xia Minmin, all your old classmates want you to run for office, so come up here! I've looked at your resume; you were class monitor for six years, so your experience as a class monitor is quite extensive!"

Unable to resist her old classmate's encouragement, Xia Minmin had no choice but to go on stage to run for class monitor. The result was obvious: she was elected class monitor again, and by a large margin.

Many of the votes were cast by old classmates who pressured their roommates to choose Xia Minmin. However, before voting, everyone still asked their roommates about her character. Rather than voting for a stranger, they preferred to vote for someone they were somewhat familiar with, as a good class monitor would make communication easier in the future.

The students who least wanted Xia Minmin to be elected class monitor were probably Du Lan and Zhong Xi. Every time there was an extra vote, their expressions grew even uglier. They had offended her before, and who knew what kind of trouble she might cause them later.

If Xia Minmin knew what they were thinking, she would only think they were overthinking it; she didn't have time to target them.

"Class monitor, maintain order. The Youth League secretary, take a few boys and come with me to move the military training uniforms."

They noisily received their military training uniforms.

"If you're free today, go home and rest early. We'll meet downstairs at 6 a.m. tomorrow for military training. The class monitor will maintain order, and the other class officers will assist. I hope you will all follow orders and not cause any trouble."

Xia Minmin and the others rushed back to their dormitory and ran to the water room to wash their military training uniforms.

"Oh my god, I have to get up at six o'clock? How am I supposed to get up?"

"Everyone should set alarms tonight, right? With so many alarms, we should be able to wake up."

"Let's hope so!"

"I can't sleep."

"Me too!"

Xia Minmin drifted off to sleep to the sound of her roommates talking. Her schedule was always regular, and getting up at six o'clock was not difficult for her.

...

When Xia Minmin woke up, she saw on her phone that it was only five o'clock. She prepared to go downstairs for a run, a habit she picked up during her summer vacation.

Carrying the toiletries bag I had prepared the night before, I quietly went to the public restroom. The restroom was empty at the time, and any slight movement would echo, which was a bit scary.

She planned to run from her dormitory to the cafeteria, then go back to the cafeteria to buy breakfast to tide her over. She had already estimated how long it would take her to get breakfast today when she went to the cafeteria yesterday at noon.

Xia Minmin carried the eggs that Lin Lanzhi and the other three had ordered yesterday back to the dormitory. Du Lan and Zhong Xi were still asleep. It was quite impressive that they could still sleep despite the noise in the dormitory.

There are still 20 minutes until the meeting point. It will take 15 minutes to walk to the meeting point, or 10 minutes to run.

"Du Lan and Zhong Xi are going to be late. You two get up quickly."

"Are you sick?! If you want to go to military training, go by yourself. I'm not like you guys. I have connections. I don't need to do military training," Zhong Xi said loudly.

Xia Minmin wondered if her backing was reliable. She hadn't been able to change beds before, and she didn't want to be embarrassed again.

"What's the panic? Even if we don't go to military training school, they won't do anything to us. You guys are too cowardly." After saying that, Du Lan covered his head with the blanket and continued to sleep.

Xia Minmin felt that Du Lan must have had excellent grades in high school and even some privileges.

The others overheard the two saying, "Xiaomin, ignore them. Being late isn't your fault. We've all been scolded when we woke them up. If the counselor says anything to you, we'll vouch for you."

"Yes, it's getting late. Let's hurry up and go!"

If the class monitor is dismissed because of this, that would be fine too. Xia Minmin happily walked towards the assembly point.

The lively eight-person room became quiet as everyone left.

About fifteen minutes later, Du Lan and Zhong Xi finally woke up from their sleep. Faced with the empty dormitory, the two of them immediately panicked. Without even washing up, they hurriedly put on their clothes and ran to the meeting point.
