Lin Changmao and Kong Qingfeng both signed up for the four-person relay race, but there were only two of them left. The homeroom teacher had no choice but to force two more boys who were good at running to join the four-person race.
There was one long-distance race left, which was an event that every class had to sign up for. There was no way to refuse, but no one in the class was willing to pay attention to him even though Zhao Qian called out for a long time.
He was so angry he was panting, until Tang Zhizhou's table raised their hands.
"Teacher, I'll sign up. I'm pretty good at long-distance running." Yang Xiao didn't want to participate at first, but it wasn't a good idea since no one in the class was raising their hands.
"Alright, then it's you!" Zhao Qian was overjoyed to have finally found someone willing to participate in the 1,000-meter race. He didn't care who it was. He handed the form to Yang Xiao, watched him write his name, and then quickly took the form away, afraid that Yang Xiao would change his mind.
"Alright, the registration for the sports meet is basically finalized now. As for the other things, such as cheerleaders and uniforms, you can decide them yourselves. The school will allocate funds for me. After you've finalized everything, I'll give the money to the arts and culture representative, Li Meilin. You can just ask her for it." After deciding on all the arrangements for the sports meet, Zhao Qian didn't linger in the classroom. He took the forms and left.
As soon as the homeroom teacher left, the classroom of Class 10 became lively.
"There are only nine girls in our class. After deducting Ding Kemeng who is going to participate in the competition, there are eight left. We don't have enough people. The school requires each class to have at least ten cheerleaders. So, we need two boys to participate in the cheerleading team. Which of you boys are willing to join?" Li Meilin walked to the front of the classroom with a small notebook, tapped the blackboard, and announced loudly.
"Who would want to do that? We're boys, and even if we participate in the sports meet, we're participating in competitions!" As soon as Li Meilin finished speaking, a boy below voiced his objection.
"Did you participate in the competition? I didn't see you participate." Li Meilin looked at the boy and smiled sarcastically.
The boy was speechless after being confronted; he hadn't actually participated in any competitions.
"That's right! Every time, it's us girls who cheer for you boys with all our might, but now that the cheerleading team is short of members, you boys aren't willing to help at all!"
"How shameless! All that effort we put into dancing was wasted!" The girls couldn't stand the boys' behavior and immediately started arguing.
"You girls just dance before the competition, how is that considered putting in effort? We boys are the ones who really work hard during the competition!" the boys retorted.
"You guys worked hard? When the teacher asked us to sign up, I didn't see you raise your hand!" the girls sneered.
"You!" The boys' faces darkened as the girls spoke, and they wanted to argue back, but they couldn't win the argument.
"Alright, all of you, shut up. We're short-handed in the cheerleading squad, and the boys definitely need to fill the gap. Don't even think about hiding!" Li Meilin tapped the podium again, her tone no longer so pleasant.
After Li Meilin finished speaking, the boys and girls immediately fell silent, unsure of what to do.
"Tang Zhizhou and Xie Sichen will participate." A steady voice suddenly rang out in the quiet classroom.
Everyone turned around in confusion to look behind them.
Tang Zhizhou and Xie Sichen were also completely bewildered, looking behind them.
Did they just hear their own name?
What's going on?!
Ding Kemeng met everyone's gazes, looked nervously at the person beside her, and whispered, "What did you just say?" The sudden voice startled her!
Lu Ziyin smiled at Ding Kemeng, then turned to Li Meilin and said with a serious expression, "I said, Tang Zhizhou and Xie Sichen will join the cheerleading squad."
This time everyone finally heard clearly.
"Okay... alright." Li Meilin met Lu Ziyin's gaze, still somewhat dazed, and subconsciously wanted to agree to his words.
"No... what's so good about it!" Tang Zhizhou protested. He was just watching the fun, how did he become a cheerleader?
"Lu Ziyin, what are you up to!" Xie Sichen was also furious, his eyes filled with anger as he looked at Lu Ziyin.
Lu Ziyin ignored Tang Zhizhou and Xie Sichen and continued, "Let's just have the two of them. I'll participate in the competition, and my brother will cheer me on. That's good!" He's already gone into the fire pit; these two can't stay on the shore forever.
“I think it’s great too!” Lin Changmao couldn’t help but laugh out loud when he thought of Xie Sichen dancing.
Kong Qingfeng always followed Lin Changmao's opinions, so since Lin Changmao thought it was acceptable, he had no objections.
"Does anyone have any objections?" Lu Ziyin glanced at the other boys in the class, his gaze sweeping over them, but none of them were willing to meet his eyes.
"Since no one has any objections, then we'll take that as a vote of approval." Lu Ziyin was very satisfied.
Li Meilin was initially worried about not being able to find anyone, but now that Boss Lu was offering her help, she was naturally happy. "Okay, then the two male members to be added to the cheerleading team are settled!"
Xie Sichen and Tang Zhizhou: ...Thank you so much, brother! Lu Ziyin!
Ding Kemeng pictured Xie Sichen and his two burly boys, mingling with the girls and doing cheerleading, and the image immediately came to mind, making her burst out laughing.
Afraid that the two of them would hear her, Ding Kemeng lowered her voice and whispered in Lu Ziyin's ear, "Isn't that a bit too unfair of you..."
Lu Ziyin smiled and said, "It's alright. They were treated as girls by their teachers in elementary school and dressed up as princesses in little skirts, so doing cheerleading is no big deal."
Xie Sichen and Tang Zhizhou were inexplicably chosen by the whole class to join the cheerleading team, and they were powerless to refute it. Lu Ziyin was definitely doing it on purpose!
"Everyone, please be quiet. I've already discussed with our homeroom teacher about the class uniforms, cheerleader uniforms, and marching team uniforms for this sports meet. My family will provide them because I'm not athletic and can't participate in the sports meet with everyone. But as the class monitor, I can't just do nothing, so providing these uniforms is my way of making up for it." Huang Jiji quickly stood up and explained his idea to everyone after seeing that Li Meilin had already decided on the cheerleading team members.
"Is the class monitor's family really that rich?" Ding Kemeng asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Huang Ji's mother is a very famous fashion designer, and his father is in the clothing business. Preparing class uniforms for our class is nothing to them," Lu Ziyin explained quietly after hearing Ding Kemeng's question.
"Do you know so much?" Ding Kemeng originally thought that Lu Ziyin was someone who didn't care about the students in the class at all, but after sitting together for a few days, she found that Lu Ziyin actually seemed to know the students in their class quite well.
"Half of these people are my junior high school classmates, and several of them come from families with similar backgrounds to mine. I've heard about them a lot, so I just remembered them." Lu Ziyin didn't think there was anything wrong with remembering these people's family backgrounds; they were just all in the same circle.
