Li Hongying felt that Ye Linchen's decision was absolutely correct.
Now is not the time to argue with those boys; getting the books back is the priority. So he ran to the classroom without stopping.
In the classroom, the girls who were assigned to help distribute the books had already arrived and were anxiously waiting for the books to be brought back so they could be distributed according to the number of students.
When they saw Li Hongying running back breathlessly, with her hands empty and without a single book, the girls immediately surrounded her, bombarding her with questions.
"Secretary of the Youth League Committee, what's going on? Haven't the books been moved back yet? Is there some problem?"
"Yeah, yeah, why did you come back alone? Where are Ye Linchen and the others?"
Li Hongying held her lower back and panted for a long time before she finally caught her breath.
She waved her hand and said haltingly, "Don't...don't mention it, it makes me so angry!"
“Those boys…those boys were outrageous! Apart from Luo Yuanbing and a few from his dorm, no one else…not a single one of them went!”
"Ye Linchen and the others are still queuing in the textbook room. I've come to call you over to help."
The girls were immediately furious upon hearing this.
"This is outrageous! How could they do this?! It's so irresponsible!" Lin Xuemei stomped her feet in anger.
"Exactly! If you don't want to help, you can say so in advance. What kind of behavior is it to just abandon your responsibilities at the last minute!" another girl wearing glasses said indignantly.
"Hmph! If they don't want to go, we'll go! Let's see if they'll be ashamed then!" A tall girl rolled up her sleeves.
The girls discussed among themselves and finally decided that one of them would stay in the classroom to watch over everyone's things, while the other six girls would go with Li Hongying to the textbook room to help get the books.
When the group arrived, it was their class's turn to collect the books, and Ye Linchen, Luo Yuanbing, and three other boys carried the books out in trips.
Upon seeing this, the girls who arrived rushed over without saying a word and helped carry it.
This semester's coursework is heavy; each student has a total of sixteen books on essential knowledge, and each one is as thick as a brick and quite heavy.
Even with more than ten people working together, it was still very strenuous, and everyone was panting heavily from exhaustion.
Most of the students from other classes who came to move textbooks were strong and healthy boys. Occasionally, you could see a few girls, but that was because there were too few boys in their majors, so they had to bite the bullet and take their place.
It's extremely rare to see a group like Ye Linchen's, with only a few boys supporting them.
The teacher in charge of distributing the textbooks looked at Ye Linchen and the others, who were covered in sweat from exhaustion, and asked curiously, "Don't you have a lot of male students in your finance department? I remember during the last meeting, your department counselor complained to me that there were too many male students and too few female students, and the ratio was seriously unbalanced!"
"Why are there only a few girls here to move books today? Where are the other boys? Where did they all go?"
Ye Linchen didn't want to cover up for the boys in the class. He pointed to Luo Yuanbing, who was working hard on the side, and three other boys, and explained, "Only these few boys in our class were willing to come and help. The others didn't show up, so I notified the girls in the class to come."
"Just because they're not coming doesn't mean we girls can't move books! We girls can hold up half the sky too!" Lin Xuemei proudly puffed out her chest and shouted.
The students queuing up behind them heard what they said and craned their necks to find out what was going on.
"This is outrageous! Don't they need to collect their own books?"
"Yeah, that's so selfish! The books are so heavy, how can a girl carry them?"
"Excuse me, which class are you from?"
Ye Linchen wiped his forehead: "Class Two, Finance Department."
Upon hearing the words "Class Two, Department of Finance," the discussion grew even louder.
"Finance Department Class 2? There are quite a few boys there, so why are they nowhere to be seen when they were moving books?"
"This is the first time I've ever heard of someone not wanting to come to move books. These boys are just too outrageous!"
"Luckily it wasn't someone from our class, otherwise I would have felt so embarrassed!"
Ye Linchen just smiled and didn't say anything more, then called on the students who were carrying the books.
"Everyone, hurry up and move your books back to the classroom. They're coming to measure the dimensions soon."
The clothing size measurement for Class 2 of Finance is scheduled for 11:00 AM, which is only half an hour away.
Before that, I wanted to move the books back and distribute them all, but time was a bit tight.
Ye Linchen and the others hurriedly carried the books back to the classroom, and without resting, they began distributing the books again.
Before 11 o'clock, the books were almost all distributed, and the rest of the students arrived one after another.
When Ye Linchen saw that most of the people had arrived, he stood on the podium and said to the students, "After we finish taking the measurements, don't leave. I have something to say."
Sun Xueyong walked into the classroom, heard Ye Linchen's words, and walked over with a shameless smile.
"Class monitor, I'm sorry, I overslept and forgot to move the books."
"Didn't you bring the books back? It's not like you can't live without boys."
Ye Linchen didn't even glance at him, treating him like he was invisible.
The girls who knew the truth all glared at him angrily.
Sun Xueyong didn't take it to heart.
Anyway, it's not like he's the one who spent time and effort carrying the books back, so glaring at them won't hurt him.
If he does the same thing again next time something like this happens, let's see if these girls dare to order him around again.
Soon, the whole class arrived, and the teacher who was taking measurements also arrived.
Ye Linchen took the roster and read out each name before going up to measure their dimensions.
The students were very well-behaved, lining up in an orderly manner, and returned to their seats after their measurements were taken.
After the teacher who was measuring the dimensions left, Li Hongying invited counselor Teacher Wang to come over, and Ye Linchen then stood on the podium.
