Chapter 16 Three Letters

During the afternoon self-study class, Teacher Luo and another grandson teacher from the Academic Affairs Office came and announced that Class 1 would vote to elect a new class monitor.

This decision was not unexpected to Li Ye.

The top students from the three classes are put together to form a repeat class, so it makes sense to re-elect a class monitor, which can minimize the negative impact of replacing the class monitor.

Teacher Sun wrote down the names of three candidates on the blackboard: Hu Man, the former monitor of Repeater Class 2, Zheng Qiang, the former study committee member of Repeater Class 3, and Xia Yue, the former monitor of Class 1.

Li Ye found it interesting.

Repeater Class 1 was originally a fast class. This time, more than 30 students were adjusted and merged, and the total number of students adjusted from the other two classes is less than 20. So is there any suspense in the election results?

Mr. Luo's intention to seek stability is good. Letting Xia Yue continue to serve as class monitor will indeed be beneficial to the integration and stability of the class, but the prerequisite is before Li Ye does that kind of thing.

Now that Li Ye has questioned Xia Yue's character in public, how can Mr. Luo continue to convince everyone of Xia Yue?

If Xia Yue were still allowed to be the squad leader, wouldn't Li Ye be annoyed to death all day long?

Teacher Luo was also feeling quite uncomfortable at this moment.

This morning he talked to Xia Yue about the "private opening of the parcel" incident and informed her in advance that he was going to replace the squad leader.

But Xia Yue was also courageous and knowledgeable. She went directly to the principal's office at noon and insisted that she had undisputed credibility in Class 1. She even said that Li Ye was maliciously slandering her for personal vengeance.

Anyway, she opened Li Ye's package just to "help her classmates" and it was just an unintentional mistake at most.

So there was an election for class monitor, but Xia Yue was not completely spared. She was required to write an apology letter, read it in class, and do a self-examination.

Xia Yue agreed immediately. What was the big deal about writing an apology letter? As long as she could still be the monitor, Li Ye would have plenty of time to apologize to her in the future.

[Just wait, if I don’t ruin your reputation, Li Ye, I won’t be named Xia. Do you still want to join the group or D in the future? Dream on!]

Li Ye wrote Hu Man's name on the paper, folded it and prepared to hand it to the classmate who was counting the votes, when he suddenly felt his elbow touched by his deskmate.

The little mute Wen Leyu stretched his neck and pursed his lips towards Li Ye's note. His eyes were clearly saying, "Who do you choose? Tell me."

Li Ye spread out the origami in his hand and let her take a look. Wen Leyu nodded and also wrote Hu Man's name on her ballot.

Then she poked Li Ye's arm again and pushed a piece of written paper over to him.

[Why did Xia Yue withhold your letter? Was it from Lu Jingyao? What did the letter say? ]

“.”

Li Ye tilted his head and looked at Wen Leyu's eyes thirty centimeters away, trying to judge what this little girl meant.

Could it be that this little girl has the potential to be a gossip queen?

This morning, when Li Ye and Xia Yue were arguing about Lu Jingyao's letter, Wen Leyu hadn't even entered the classroom yet! How did she know?

But the two of them stared at each other for nearly ten seconds, and Li Ye didn't detect any spark of gossip. Instead, he felt a sense of concern.

. . . . . .

"One vote for Zheng Qiang."

"Human one vote."

"Human one vote."

"Xia Yue, one vote."

Teacher Luo began to count the votes. Three students wrote the correct characters on the blackboard stroke by stroke. Xia Yue, who was sitting under the podium, was so nervous that her fingernails were digging into her flesh.

"How come my votes are less than Human's? Are the votes from Class 1 all at the back? That must be the case."

But as the votes were counted, Xia Yue's expression became more and more ugly.

There were already five "正" characters drawn behind Hu Man's name. There were only fifty people in the class. No matter how optimistic Xia Yue was, she knew that the situation was hopeless.

She really couldn't understand why there were more than 30 classmates in her class, but they didn't support her and instead supported Hu Man, an "outsider"!

But Li Ye understood.

【The wicked are themselves wicked, but they do not know it.】

Looking at the sense of superiority Xia Yue displayed today, one can guess how strong her usual style is. It is estimated that many students in her previous class have suffered a lot from her PUA.

Now that she has the opportunity to run for re-election, how can she, a plain-looking girl with a domineering temper, compete with Hu Man, who has a gentle personality and outstanding appearance?

Was the male to female ratio among high school students in the 1980s one to one?

Just kidding, most of the "money-losing" girls are asked to go home to work after junior high school, and high school girls must be in the minority.

Boys aged seventeen or eighteen are very emotional. A powerful class monitor is indeed easier to collect homework, but a beautiful and gentle class monitor is what everyone expects.

"Well, welcome Hu Man to be the new monitor of our class."

"There is one more thing. Xia Yue realized her mistake and took the initiative to apologize to Li Ye. Now, please invite Xia Yue to the stage."

Teacher Luo looked at Xia Yue meaningfully and made room for him behind the desk.

Xia Yue didn't know how she walked onto the podium, nor did she know how she finished writing the apology letter in her hand.

At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind - what a shame, what a shame, what a shame.

. . .

In the teaching department of the County No. 1 Middle School, Lu Zixue wrote furiously with tears in his eyes.

After Li Ye stole his bicycle last week, he was waiting for his sister to settle the matter for him.

But before his sister could show her anger, Director Yao from the Education Department called him over and asked him if he had brought the bicycle license for the Phoenix bicycle.

What the hell does Lu Zixue have a bicycle license?

A few days have passed, and he thought Director Yao had forgotten about it!

Director Yao did want to forget it. After all, he had been a teacher for so many years and he knew that a student's fragile heart needed to be protected.

But this morning, the West City Police Station called directly and asked whether there was a bicycle robbery in front of the school last Saturday?

This was such a disgrace that he had to vent his anger. If he didn't vent it, he would ruin his health. So he dragged Lu Zixue over to vent his anger.

Lu Zixue had no choice but to start writing a self-criticism on the spot, roaring in his heart as he wrote.

[It is a great shame, a great shame, Li Ye and I will never forgive each other! ]

But things like revenge require strength, which neither Lu Zixue nor Xia Yue can do now, so they both thought of someone "powerful".

That evening, the two letters were dropped into mailboxes near the No. 1 and No. 2 Middle Schools in the county respectively, and then flew all the way to Beijing University of Foreign Languages.

During evening study, Li Ye also opened the letter written to him by Lu Jingyao.

[Li Ye, long time no see. You make me feel strange. Where is that kind, generous and responsible man? ]

[Give the bike back to my brother. He is still young and cannot stand the rumors. Don't worry, I will definitely pay you back the money for the bike with interest.]

Li Ye finished reading Lu Jingyao's letter in surprise, then shook his head vigorously to make sure that he was still in 1981, and not back to the 1923 year when the boxer was so powerful.

He originally didn't want to have anything to do with Lu Jingyao anymore, but now he couldn't help but pick up the pen and wrote a reply on the back of the letter paper.

[Your brother can't stand the gossip? I can stand the gossip? My family can stand the gossip? ]

[Do you know what the school calls me now because you sent money to the school? I just took back the money that belongs to me, how come I became Huang Shiren? If you don’t pay me back, I will ask you to pay off the debt? Are you so cunning that you will let me pay off the debt? ]

[When my family helped you renovate your house, why didn’t you say I was Huang Shiren? When my family helped your father transfer jobs? Why didn’t you say I was a dog landlord?

Since you accepted our family's benefits with a clear conscience, why do you confuse right and wrong and pretend to be an innocent victim? 】

[Since you have chosen to pursue your freedom, why do you interfere in my life? Why do you ask me to be generous and give the bicycle to your brother? Don't you feel shameless for being so hypocritical? ]

[Don't contact me anymore. The swan flying up to the sky, please don't bother the frog at the bottom of the well. Even if he becomes a prince one day, it has nothing to do with you.]
