I am Chen Bing, not Chen Bing, right?
After a tired joke flashed through her mind, Chen Bing stood up and answered yes, and was immediately showered with praise from Teacher Lin.
After that, he used the same words to praise the other two people in the room, one of whom was Shang Yunmiao, and the other was not Shang Yunmiao.
Ahem, enough of the small talk. After the pleasantries, Principal Lin... Principal Liu brought up the purpose of calling the three of them here today. As Chen Bing had expected, it concerned tomorrow's military training commendation ceremony and opening ceremony.
As the top three students admitted, one of them, according to the usual practice of the Product Experimentation Center, is to give a speech on stage. In addition, there is a segment where they go on stage to receive their scholarships, which also needs to be rehearsed in advance.
"Look around, which of you would like to come up and say a few words? The speech has already been prepared for you by the grade level."
The person who said this was the head of the new first-year high school department, named Xiang Qianjin, whose status in the grade was second only to Principal Liu.
He had a standard, exemplary bald patch that was rare even among middle-aged male teachers. His shiny scalp, exposed between his hair strands, was reflecting the sunlight outside the window, so bright that it was almost blinding.
Oh, it's you, e on.
While recalling the other person's nickname in her mind, Chen Bing noticed that Teacher E-On, who liked to use English when checking for lateness and would speak to returning students, was smilingly sizing her up.
Hmm... Judging from his current expression, it's not hard to tell that he probably really wants me to have sex with him.
Just then, Su Liying, who was standing to the side, timidly raised her hand and asked, "T-Teacher, may I go up?"
Upon hearing this, the two teachers smiled kindly and encouraged her, saying, "Of course you can. Why don't all three of you come? Let's discuss how to divide the roles. Should we have one person as a emcee and two people as speakers, or should we take turns saying a few words?"
As they spoke, the teachers beckoned the three of them to walk toward the desk, clearly indicating that all three of them would be on duty.
Compared to Su Liying's eagerness and Shang Yunmiao's obedient behavior, Chen Bing was rather uninterested.
He was just a minor student representative; he didn't care about it.
As the saying goes, it's not that becoming a student representative will automatically make others know, admire, or recognize you; rather, you become a student representative only after you have proven your abilities and earned their recognition, admiration, and approval.
Chen Bing had done similar things many times since childhood, and had long since gotten rid of the low-level interest in showing off. He had also lost interest in showing off and speaking out.
For now, he is a pure person, detached from vulgar interests. What Chen Bing is more concerned about now is whether she can skip military training and marching in formation if she gives a speech.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Chen Bing became very excited and participated in the discussion with great enthusiasm.
About ten minutes later, the two teachers finished their discussion and finalized a plan for the three of them to share a single speech and take turns delivering it.
This plan seems a bit redundant, but who cares? As long as we don't have to do military training and march in formation, that's fine.
After chatting with the two teachers for a while about their learning experiences and family situations, Chen Bing and the other two left the office.
As soon as he stepped outside, he grabbed Shang Yunmiao, who was about to return to the classroom.
Seeing the girl's question, Chen Bing smiled and said, "Let's go eat first, otherwise there will be a lot of people after the military training ends."
Shang Yunmiao initially obeyed Chen Bing's suggestion unconditionally, but only expressed her doubts on the way there.
"Chen Bing, there's still half an hour until lunchtime. Has the cafeteria opened yet?"
"You don't know this, do you? The cafeteria prepares the food about 40 to 50 minutes before meals, because the staff usually eat half an hour before the students' meals."
Hearing this, Xiao Shang felt even more puzzled, and she asked Chen Bing how he knew all this.
Chen Bing's unintentional remark caught Shang Yunmiao's attention. She first thought to herself that something was wrong, and then began to think carefully.
Hmm, it seems that the various details of their daily interactions have already made Xiao Shang suspicious. I remember on the first day of school, she asked herself how she knew so much about the school.
After coming up with a solution, Chen Bing adopted her usual joking tone, turned around, and replied with a smile, "Because I was reborn once. In my previous life, I studied here for three years."
Shang Yunmiao didn't believe such an outrageous lie. She covered her mouth and giggled charmingly, then asked half-jokingly, "Did you know me in your past life too?"
Chen Bing nodded shamelessly and replied, "Of course."
Upon hearing this confident answer, an idea suddenly popped into Shang Yunmiao's mind.
That is, even though Chen Bing is talking nonsense, can't the content of his nonsense still reflect his inner thoughts?
Thinking of this, Shang Yunmiao asked meaningfully, "Then, what was our relationship in our past lives?"
"A married couple, of course."
"Hmm!"
Chen Bing, who could spout nonsense without batting an eye, spoke casually, which greatly shocked Shang Yunmiao.
She stammered, intending to trick him into using a basic attack but instead drawing out his ultimate move. Then she thought again, they'd already kissed, they were practically a couple, so why was she so distracted by something like this?
After thinking it over and over again, Shang Yunmiao, who was immersed in her own world, thought it was probably because Chen Bing had never said anything like confessing his feelings to her, not to mention that what he just said had a hint of proposing marriage.
He wants to propose?!
No, no, I'm still young, just started high school. Marrying you is too early. Can, could we wait a few more years...?
"Hey! Are you still online? Snap out of it? What do you want to eat?"
A pair of large hands waved back and forth in front of Shang Yunmiao's eyes. Only then did the little girl come back to her senses from Chen Bing's marriage proposal.
She first exclaimed "Huh?" before realizing that she was already standing in front of the food serving window.
She quickly said "Anything is fine," and then followed Chen Bing to the dining table with the food and sat down. Only then did Shang Yunmiao come back to her senses from her daze.
She had originally planned to continue the conversation about their "past life as husband and wife," but Chen Bing had already moved on to other topics. Shang Yunmiao didn't want to interrupt, so she could only suppress her thoughts and listen quietly.
Her actions naturally fell into Chen Bing's notice. The wicked man smiled to himself, thinking that he was indeed worthy of the title, and he had resolved the crisis of doubt with just a few words.
Shang Yunmiao is just a little white rabbit, destined to be completely under my control.
