During the New Year, Ding Kemeng and her family spent a week at her maternal grandparents' house, and then went to K City, known as the Spring City, for a while. They didn't return to B City until the winter vacation was almost over.

Winter's tail hasn't disappeared yet, but the little buds of spring have already quietly sprouted.

Xiushui High School has started the new semester...

"Sister Meng—!"

Ding Kemeng had just entered the classroom when a wail rang out.

Ding Kemeng was startled by the person who rushed in front of her. His dark face made it obvious who he was without even looking.

"Sports Committee, what's wrong?" Ding Kemeng took a small step back. Lin Changmao's height was really intimidating, and it was better for her, a short person, to stand back.

"Sister Meng, you know, it's my winter break homework!" Lin Changmao, a tall and strong boy, always managed to put on a pitiful act when asking for help, and it never seemed out of place!

Ding Kemeng smiled helplessly, took out her workbook from her schoolbag, handed it to Lin Changmao, and said, "Hurry up and write, the teacher will be here soon."

Upon receiving the workbook, Lin Changmao's previously pitiful expression instantly changed. "It's nothing, I'll finish it right away!"

Back in her seat, Lu Ziyin's seat was still empty. Ding Kemeng wasn't surprised. She quickly cleaned the empty seat that had been empty all winter break and then sat down.

An hour later, Zhao Qian, the homeroom teacher, arrived at the classroom after the meeting, and the noisy class immediately quieted down. Zhao Qian wrote the theme of the class meeting on the blackboard and then began to speak.

Tang Zhizhou and Xie Sichen were late and, fearing Zhao Qian would see them, quietly pushed open the back door of the classroom. Ding Kemeng heard the sound, glanced back, and met Tang Zhizhou's furtive gaze.

"Sister Meng, please keep an eye on the teacher for us so we can come in!" Tang Zhizhou lowered his voice and gestured to Ding Kemeng.

Ding Kemeng nodded and quickly covered for them. Tang Zhizhou and his companion smiled, bent over, and quickly sat down in their seats.

Zhao Qian was speaking enthusiastically when he noticed a commotion behind him. He turned around and met Tang Zhizhou and the other man's smiling faces, saying, "You're here! Did you pretend you didn't see me?"

"Hehe, teacher~" Tang Zhizhou smiled brightly, trying to ask for forgiveness.

"What are you laughing at!" Zhao Qian remained unmoved by either soft or hard tactics, his face turning cold as he said, "Go stand outside and reflect on why you were late on the first day of school!"

That tone left no room for negotiation.

Tang Zhizhou sighed helplessly. He hadn't even had a chance to warm up before he had to go out in the wind again!

Xie Sichen also failed to escape, and the two of them went out through the back door together.

"Okay, let's continue outside. The school is preparing for the cultural festival in mid-March. Teachers and students from other schools will be visiting. The school has issued a notice that each class needs one or two students to participate in the final performance. The students will submit their programs to the student council. In addition to this student, each class must also put forward an activity for the visiting students from other schools."

Zhao Qian glanced at the group of rascals in his class and said, "Who among you is willing to represent the class in the school-level event? Those with special talents will be given priority. Whether it's piano, violin, painting, dancing, singing, or anything else, as long as you have a talent, you can be considered to participate in this event. There will be bonus points!"

Although the students in Class 10 don't study, quite a few of them are talented. They are all young masters and ladies from wealthy families, and they have been taught various talents by teachers since they were young. Performing on stage is really not a problem for them.

But the prerequisite is that these young masters and ladies have to be willing to perform. After Zhao Qian finished speaking, the classroom became quiet.

Well, none of these brats want to go on stage to perform!

"Nobody wants to go, huh? Then I'll just pick anyone! Don't blame me if you get picked!" Zhao Qian had no choice but to use his trump card.

"Then..." Zhao Qian dragged out his words, wondering who to call, when Ding Kemeng's voice rang out.

"Teacher, can I participate? I can play a little piano," Ding Kemeng raised her hand and asked earnestly.

"Sister Meng, are you crazy? This is an event that's going to be a collaboration with the student council, and those people in the student council are no good!" Huang Zhe was sitting quite close to Ding Kemeng, and when he heard that Ding Kemeng wanted to participate in this event, he wanted to stop her.

Bai Yushen frowned and turned to look at Ding Kemeng, saying, "Sister Meng, those people in the student council still have a deep prejudice against us from Class 10. Because the school is backing us up, they always secretly trip us up. We usually suffer losses when we participate in activities. You should think about it and not participate!"

Ding Kemeng knew, of course, that they were doing it for her own good. However, she wasn't really worried about what the student council members would do to her. "It's okay. Those people wouldn't dare to do anything to me. Besides, I haven't offended them. They have no reason to do this."

Zhao Qian didn't hear what Ding Kemeng and the others were saying, but he was naturally happy that Ding Kemeng was willing to represent the class in the school activity. "Since Ding Kemeng is willing to contribute to the class, then our class will send Ding Kemeng to this school activity!"

After arranging the participants for the school activities, Zhao Qian discussed the class activities with the other students. Class 10 was noisy and it took a long time for it to quiet down.

As soon as get out of class ended, Ding Kemeng took the registration form Zhao Qian had given her and went to the cultural building, heading straight for the student council.

Tang Zhizhou and Xie Sichen were standing outside the classroom when they saw Ding Kemeng rushing out. They were puzzled and asked Huang Jiji where she was going.

Lin Changmao interjected, "Sister Meng signed up for this cultural festival and is reporting to the student council now."

"Cultural Festival, Student Council?" Tang Zhizhou exclaimed, immediately becoming anxious: "Didn't you stop her? Those people in the Student Council are no good!"

"Of course we stopped her!" Lin Changmao rolled his eyes. "She wouldn't listen to us, what could we do!"

"We can't just let her go like that!" Tang Zhizhou thought about how Ding Kemeng would be bullied by the student council. If Lu Ziyin found out, he would probably skin him alive!

Tang Zhizhou shuddered and tried to chase Ding Kemeng back, but Xie Sichen quickly grabbed him.

"What are you doing, Lao Xie!" Tang Zhizhou was pulled and stumbled. He turned around and looked at Xie Sichen, saying irritably.

"Don't worry about her, she's fine."

"What? She's fine? She went to the student council, the newly elected student council president this year, that bastard from the Xu family. If he knew that Sister Meng is in Class 10 and is Lu Ge's deskmate, do you think that bastard wouldn't bully our Sister Meng!" Tang Zhizhou was extremely anxious. Lu Ziyin had told him to keep a close eye on Ding Kemeng before he left. If something happened to Ding Kemeng, wouldn't his life be in danger!

Xie Sichen slapped Tang Zhizhou on the back, amused by his stupidity: "Do you think Ding Kemeng is smart enough to be bullied? Besides, the student council members would probably welcome her. After all, they value grades above all else. If Ding Kemeng goes in as the top student in the grade, she'll be treated like a treasure. You're worried she'll be bullied?"
