“Old Xie, what you’re saying actually makes a lot of sense…” Lin Changmao stroked his chin and said seriously.
Apart from the student council president and that kid from the Xu family who don't get along with their brother Lu, the other members of the student council don't seem to have any issues with brother Lu. So, the others probably won't bully Sister Meng because of her relationship with brother Lu.
In addition, given how obsessed those people are with grades, if Mengjie, who is first in the grade, goes there, these crazy people will probably really worship Mengjie, this academic genius!
"But Sister Meng is in Class 10. Are you sure that guy surnamed Xu won't make things difficult for her?" Tang Zhizhou was still a little worried.
Xie Sichen rolled her eyes: "I'm sure he won't!" Although Xu Yi is stingy, he's not so heartless as to bully girls.
While Tang Zhizhou and the others were getting anxious, Ding Kemeng had already reached the door of the student council office.
Ding Kemeng held the registration form in her hand, glanced up at the sign on the door frame, and was about to knock on the door.
"Excuse me, is there something you need?" A boy's voice sounded from behind her. Ding Kemeng immediately withdrew her hand, turned around, and looked over.
The boy had a handsome appearance and a polite smile. Ding Kemeng didn't miss the red student council armband on his arm; this boy was a member of the student council.
"Hello, I'm Ding Kemeng from Class 10. I've come to the Student Union to submit my registration form to the Minister of the Arts and Entertainment Department and to discuss the performance." Ding Kemeng waved the registration form in her hand and smiled.
"Oh, I see." The boy nodded and said, "I'm the head of the Arts and Entertainment Department. Come in with me first. The students selected by each class should be here soon, so we can discuss things together." With that, the boy opened the office door and went inside.
Ding Kemeng was a little surprised that the head of the entertainment department was a boy, but she didn't say anything and went inside.
The boy was right; soon, students from all classes arrived, numbering about a dozen in total.
Several classes sent two people each. They knew each other from other classes and arranged to form teams to perform. As a result, Ding Kemeng didn't know anyone and was left out.
The head of the entertainment department glanced at the group that had already formed teams, looking somewhat troubled. He then looked at Ding Kemeng, who was standing to the side, and asked, "Can you perform a show by yourself?"
A girl who knew Ding Kemeng glanced at Ding Kemeng standing alone to the side, secretly amused, and said, "Minister Sun, since Ding Kemeng doesn't have any teammates, then we'll just have to let her perform all by herself. Anyway, she's the top student in the grade, her grades are so good, her talents must be pretty good too!"
The girl's words were clearly malicious, and everyone could hear it, but no one spoke up for Ding Kemeng.
Ding Kemeng wasn't quite sure when she had offended this girl, but it was indeed inappropriate for her to perform alone at such a big event, and she was in a bit of a dilemma.
Sun Yanzhi didn't know if there was any entanglement between the girl and Ding Kemeng, but this event was very big, and he was in charge of organizing it. If something went wrong, he would definitely be the one to suffer. So, in order to prevent any problems from happening, he decided to take charge himself.
Moreover, Sun Yanzhi was quite happy to help such a beautiful girl as Ding Kemeng!
“How about we perform a piece together? I saw on your form that you can play the piano, and I happen to play the violin. We can play a duet together,” Sun Yanzhi suggested.
Ding Kemeng was already thinking about who to team up with, and since Sun Yanzhi was willing to help her, she naturally wouldn't refuse.
"Then thank you, Minister Sun."
Seeing that Ding Kemeng agreed, Sun Yanzhi smiled and immediately added his name to the list submitted to the school.
The girl was only feeling resentful and wanted to verbally bully Ding Kemeng. Now that Sun Yanzhi was ignoring her and even siding with Ding Kemeng, she felt even more uncomfortable, but she wasn't foolish enough to continue mocking Ding Kemeng and offend Sun Yanzhi. She glared at Ding Kemeng fiercely, then pulled the girl in her group beside her and immediately left the office.
Ding Kemeng didn't mind the malice directed at her by the girls. Since joining Class 10, she had received quite a bit of malice from various people. As long as it didn't cause her any real harm, she wouldn't take it to heart.
Getting glared at by them a few more times won't hurt you, will it?
Aside from knowing that she was the top student in the grade who voluntarily went to Class 10, the others didn't know anything else, so they didn't have any particular malice towards Ding Kemeng.
Now that the program was scheduled, and they had nothing else to do, they all dispersed.
After Ding Kemeng and the others had mostly left, they discussed the piece they would be performing with Sun Yanzhi, exchanged contact information, and then departed as well.
When Huang Jiji returned to Class 10, the classroom was noisy. Tang Zhizhou and others were playing cards together. Huang Jiji couldn't control them, so he simply joined them in playing cards.
Ding Kemeng glanced up at the classroom monitor, looking at the red light flashing around the dark lens, and sighed helplessly, "Aren't you afraid the homeroom teacher will punish you for being so arrogant?"
"Bomb!" Tang Zhizhou threw the bomb in his hand with force, looked up and saw that it was Ding Kemeng. He instantly lost his interest in playing cards and quickly stepped forward and said, "Sister Meng, how are you? You weren't bullied by those people from the student council, were you?"
"Tang Zhizhou, you son of a bitch, you only have three cards, what are you going to do with them?!" Lin Changmao glanced at the cards Tang Zhizhou had thrown on the table and immediately got angry, looking up as if to curse.
Unexpectedly, Lin Changmao's curse words immediately stuck in his throat when he met Ding Kemeng's gaze. "Haha... Sister Meng, you're back!"
"You should put the cards away. If you get caught playing cards in the classroom, you'll get a demerit!" Ding Kemeng didn't mind Lin Changmao's swearing; she just pointed to the playing cards on the table and advised him.
Seeing Lin Changmao's cowardly appearance, Tang Zhizhou couldn't help but chuckle to himself. He only stopped after being kicked by Xie Sichen. He continued to press Ding Kemeng, "Sister Meng, you still haven't told me about your time in the student council. How did it go? No problems, right?"
"I'm fine, it's just that no one wanted to team up with me. Sun Yanzhi, the head of the entertainment department, had no choice but to personally team up with me to perform." Ding Kemeng was afraid that the teacher would see them playing cards and punish them, so she kept playing and helped Lin Changmao tidy up the scattered cards.
Ding Kemeng was fast; before Lin Changmao had even taken a few cards, Ding Kemeng had already prepared a deck of cards.
"Sister Meng, your hand speed is amazing!" Lin Changmao took the cards from Ding Kemeng, his face full of surprise.
"It's alright." Ding Kemeng felt relieved after seeing that the cards were almost all collected. She smiled indifferently, sat back down, and looked at Tang Zhizhou, saying, "You don't need to worry about me so much. The student council isn't some kind of cannibalistic place. They won't bully me."
Tang Zhizhou chuckled and scratched his head, "I was just worried about something going wrong!" Knowing that Ding Kemeng hadn't been bullied, Tang Zhizhou felt relieved.
