In the year since Shen Qingqing was reborn, she has regained much of her childlike innocence, but she doesn't like gossip about the petty squabbles between elementary school kids. As someone who is often referred to as a "gossip person" online in later generations, she also has her own pursuit of gossip.

Sure enough, after she asked that question, Lin Ziyang hissed and then fell silent.

Shen Qingqing raised her eyebrows, looking as if she hadn't expected it.

Unexpectedly, Lin Ziyang persisted, "You're really quite clever. Wu Fangyi has indeed stopped tattling, but she's started making things difficult for me!"

Shen Qingqing: "?"

"She was the class monitor and the subject representative. Teachers liked to give her instructions and let her handle things. She would make me do everything. If I didn't, she would threaten to tell the teacher what she saw me doing outside of school." Lin Ziyang felt a burning hatred whenever he thought about the days when he was bossed around by Wu Fangyi from the second to the third grade.

"She's the class monitor and the subject representative, so what are you?" Shen Qingqing found it strange. Normally, class officers are asked to do tasks, so there's no reason for ordinary students to do them.

"I'm the vice class monitor." Lin Ziyang emphasized the word "vice." "Hmph, if she hadn't gotten better grades than me back then, I don't know who would have been the class monitor!"

Shen Qingqing fell silent. What was wrong with this guy's thought process?

However, they didn't get to talk much more before Lin Biquan returned with the male classmate who had been carrying the books.

Because Shen Qingqing was too young among the group of ten-year-old brothers and sisters, Lin Biquan did not ask her to go up and help distribute the books. Instead, he called on Lin Ziyang and the other three students whose grades were lower than Lin Ziyang's last semester.

— Wu Fangyi was the only one who was skipped.

The students who noticed this all subconsciously looked at Wu Fangyi.

However, Wu Fangyi kept her head down this time, so it was impossible to tell what her reaction was.

The books were all distributed very quickly.

After registration, seating arrangements, and book distribution, the next step was to determine the class officers.

Because Lin Biquan taught their class English last year, he basically knew the class officers.

She first wrote the names of the class officers on the blackboard, and then asked, "Next, we'll elect class officers. Does anyone want to volunteer?"

Shen Qingqing blinked and silently lowered her head. Having seen the troublesome class committee members during her university years, she now had no desire for any class officer positions.

Lin Ziyang, who was next to her, was very enthusiastic and immediately raised his hand: "Teacher! I want to run for class monitor!"

Without a word, Lin Biquan wrote Lin Ziyang's name under the class monitor's name, and then asked, "Anyone else?"

With Lin Ziyang taking the lead, others soon stood up one after another and announced the class officers they wanted to run for.

Wu Fangyi, who had been the class monitor for the previous three years, was not listed in any of the positions this time.

This immediately caught Lin Ziyang's attention, and he muttered to himself, "She's definitely scared! She just talked back to the homeroom teacher, and she knows the teacher definitely won't let her be the class monitor. She's afraid that if I become the class monitor, I'll retaliate against her, so she doesn't dare to run for the position!"

Shen Qingqing remained silent, thinking it was truly fortunate that Wu Fangyi hadn't gone up to run for office.

After several rounds of conversation, she felt that her new deskmate wasn't very smart, not in the sense of being unintelligent.

It's hard not to suspect that, according to Lin Ziyang, Wu Fangyi's targeting of him was because Lin Ziyang had done something to provoke Wu Fangyi, which is why she was paying such close attention to him.

The candidates for the election have been basically determined. There is only one Lin Ziyang for the position of class monitor, the position of vice class monitor is vacant, and there are basically two or three candidates for the other class officer positions.

Lin Biquan immediately announced that Lin Ziyang would be the class monitor, and the remaining class officers would take turns going up to the stage to introduce themselves and explain why they were qualified for the position.

Some people went up confidently to introduce themselves after hearing the announcement, while others gave up after hearing it.

The process is progressing very quickly.

In the end, only one position as deputy squad leader remained vacant.

"Does no one want to try out for vice class monitor?" Lin Biquan asked again.

It was probably because when Wu Fangyi was the class monitor, Lin Ziyang's miserable situation as the vice class monitor was so deeply ingrained in everyone's minds that everyone subconsciously thought that vice class monitors were just that miserable, so no one wanted to step up.

"Is nobody here? If nobody's here, I'll just order it."

The audience remained completely silent.

Lin Biquan smiled, picked up the list again, and called out a name that surprised everyone.

"Then let's go with Wu Fangyi!"

When Wu Fangyi heard her name called again, she pulled her attention away from her new textbook, and her deskmate immediately told her what had happened.

After a moment of silence, Wu Fangyi bravely spoke up and refused: "Teacher, I don't want to be the vice class monitor."

Lin Biquan was genuinely puzzled. She hadn't seen Wu Fangyi this uncooperative when she was teaching the third grade.

So she asked, "Fangyi, can you tell me why? Didn't you and Ziyang work well together last year?"

Wu Fangyi firmly stated, "I want to spend more time on my studies. I was able to do it before because I thought I could manage both, but I don't think so now. I am a student, so I want to focus all my attention on my studies."

Shen Qingqing stared at Wu Fangyi in utter shock.

Is this something a ten-year-old child would say?!

No wonder he was the person who held the number one spot for three consecutive years!

And judging from Wu Fangyi's expression, was she serious when she said that?!

Shen Qingqing was once again convinced of her guess. Lin Ziyang must have done something to anger Wu Fangyi. Otherwise, how could such a studious genius do something so pointless as targeting Lin Ziyang?

Shen Qingqing's eyes darted around, and she nudged Lin Ziyang's arm, asking softly, "Lin Ziyang, what subject was Wu Fangyi best at in exams?"

Lin Ziyang hadn't recovered from the shock on his face when he heard Shen Qingqing's question, and subconsciously answered in a low voice, "All of them, she doesn't specialize in any one subject."

Shen Qingqing felt even more respectful.

For Shen Qingqing, a top student who excels in all subjects has always been the ideal woman in her heart.

After all, Shen Qingqing herself was someone who was only good at literature and not so good at science.

Fortunately, elementary school math isn't that difficult. She just needed to do more practice problems and read some explanations to learn it.

Even so, she dared not slack off and continued to diligently practice her problems.

Because in mathematics, she has difficulty applying what she has learned to other situations and making connections between different concepts.
