Eating melons

After hearing that her past was exposed, Wei Wei didn't know what to say, she just said:

"Teacher, I was just lucky, and I was able to get such a score entirely because of tutoring. The top and second place students in our school helped me get a good score.

I am usually very lazy in studying and am not suited to such a heavy responsibility."

Upon hearing this, Xie Tingxu said, "Student Wei Wei, we have great confidence in you to take on this position. Getting such a high score in the exam is not something that can be explained away by mere luck.

Even if you have classmates helping you with your studies, it would still be difficult without your hard work, not to mention that you have been working in the countryside for several years.

"To be able to study and work at the same time and still get such good grades, it's no exaggeration to call you a genius."

"Yes, yes, classmate Wei, we all believe you can do it."

"agree!"

"Student Wei Wei is indeed suitable!"

"No comment!"

"teacher."

Wei Wei interrupted the other students who were agreeing. She would never be a class leader, and she didn't want to establish herself as a top student.

Wei Wei hadn't put down her raised hand yet, and her face had an expression that was purely stating the fact.

"Thank you all for your trust, but I really can't be the study committee member. I chose to study liberal arts purely out of laziness."

……

Dead silence.

A real, pin-drop silence.

For several seconds, some people kept their mouths open and forgot to close them, while others scratched their ears, suspecting they had heard it wrong.

The eagerness on Li Yun's face froze instantly, and the corners of his mouth twitched, because... laziness?!

"lazy?"

After a while, a classmate repeated it subconsciously, as if he didn't understand the word.

In this age when everyone is scrambling and trying to split every minute into two to study, at this moment when the slogan "Contribute to the construction of the four modernizations" resounds throughout the campus, the word "lazy" is almost as harsh as original sin.

Wei Wei seemed not to notice everyone's stunned expressions and continued to explain slowly and calmly, her tone so frank that it was unbelievable.

"As a study committee member, you must be a representative of learning and a role model for everyone.

But I don’t have such a strong passion for studying. I was forced to study by my partner.

My boyfriend chose physics, so I chose literature because I was afraid he would continue to pressure me to study.

……

Wei Wei paused, her eyes swept across the incredulous faces, and added:

"Besides, I'm a person who hates trouble. If anyone doesn't hand in their homework, I have to ask them. If anyone has difficulties studying, I have to help them.

It wastes time and affects my mood. Besides, I have a bad temper and no patience at all.

So, let's let the more diligent, caring, and patient students do it. I really regret everyone's kindness."

After saying that, she bowed slightly to Li Yun and her classmates and sat down calmly.

The classroom was so silent that you could hear a pin drop.

Li Yun opened his mouth, but didn't know how to respond for a moment.

He had been teaching for so many years and had seen people humbly decline and people who refused due to lack of ability, but this was the first time he heard someone so confidently and even philosophically use the reasons of "laziness" and "fear of trouble" to refuse a glorious position.

The students looked at each other in bewilderment. Some of them who had wanted to decline the class leadership positions suddenly realized that their own reasons were wrong.

For example, heavy study pressure and family burden seem so pale and powerless and even... hypocritical in front of Wei Wei's "lazy" character.

Not everyone wants to be a class leader.

If we are selecting class leaders, why are there those who don’t want to do the job?

That's because they were recommended. Many of them come from poor families and want to use their spare time to see if they can earn more money. Therefore, they don't have time to take on this position and want to refuse, but they don't know how to refuse.

In the end, the position of study committee member fell to an equally outstanding and obviously very "diligent" male student.

The campaign meeting continued, but many people's minds were still on Wei Wei and her "lazy" character.

But this time Wei Wei became completely famous. No matter whether she chose liberal arts with a score close to full marks in science, or gave up science for liberal arts because of laziness, or did not serve as a class leader because of laziness, any one of them was enough to make her famous.

This coupled with her pretty face made her even more famous.

The first class of the new school year made Wei Wei completely famous.

After the meeting, Liu Lin asked quietly, "Weiwei, was what you just said true? Just because... I'm lazy?"

Wei Wei nodded, "Yeah! Otherwise, what's the point of lying about this?"

Looking at Wei Wei's extremely frank look, Liu Lin paused and smiled awkwardly.

"No no."

On the other side, the Department of Physics.

As soon as Xiao Xuemu arrived at the classroom, he found a seat in the corner. Coincidentally, everyone in their dormitory was nearby. When they saw Xiao Xuemu, they immediately surrounded him.

Liu Lanfen was sitting in the first row. When she saw Xiao Xuemu, she wanted to come over and sit next to him, but as soon as she stood up, a group of boys sat around Xiao Xuemu, so Liu Lanfen had to give up and sit down.

When the roommate next to her saw Liu Lanfen like this, she thought something happened to her.

"Lanfen, what's going on?"

Liu Lanfen shook her head and said softly, "It's okay, I just saw a brother from the same compound."

Hearing this, several roommates around immediately looked at Liu Lanfen jokingly, "What brother? Sweetheart brother?"

Hearing this, Liu Lanfen blushed and said, "Don't talk nonsense."

A few people wanted to continue asking useful questions, but the bell for class had already rung and the counselor walked into the classroom.

The first class of the new semester, no matter which department or major, is the same: self-introduction and selection of class leaders.

The counselor was a kind middle-aged man. After introducing himself and saying a few words of encouragement, he smiled and said.

"Okay, classmates, now let's elect class leaders. Please nominate yourselves or recommend someone close to you..."

Before he finished speaking, a girl sitting in the first row stood up.

It’s Liu Lanfen.

She was wearing a brand new army green cotton coat made of obviously good material and a bright red wool scarf, which made her face, which was a little rough due to her long life in the frontier, look brighter.

She stood tall and straight, her eyes looking over the crowd, landing precisely on the man in the back corner who was reading a book called "Principles of Electromagnetism".

"Teacher, classmates, I recommend Xiao Xuemu to be the study committee member of our class."

Liu Lanfen's voice was loud and full of unquestionable confidence.

"Brother Xuemu and I have known each other since we were young, living in the same compound. I know his learning ability and sense of responsibility very well. He will definitely be able to do the job!

He was the top scorer in this year's college entrance exam, with only two points deducted from his Chinese language score; everything else was a perfect score."

The words "Brother Xue Mu" show full affection.

The eyes of the whole class, with all kinds of meanings, curiosity, scrutiny, and cheering, were instantly focused on the corner where Xiao Xuemu was.

Everyone has a deep impression of Xiao Xuemu, mainly because his self-introduction is different from others.

Xiao Xuemu came up and said a few words briefly, "Hello everyone, my name is Xiao Xuemu, I'm 23 years old, and I'm from the Beijing Military District compound."

Another thing is that Xiao Xuemu's appearance and image are still very good. Moreover, as someone who came from a military compound, it is impossible for everyone not to be impressed by him.

In his previous self-introduction, Xiao Xuemu only said his name and where he came from. He didn't even mention that he had the highest score.

Liu Lanfen's voice completely lifted him up.

But the counselor was very satisfied with Xiao Xuemu. He not only knew that Xiao Xuemu was the top scorer in the college entrance examination, but also knew that Xiao Xuemu's parents were both physics professors in their college.

"Okay, does anyone have any objections to Xiao Xuemu being the study committee member?"

"No."

"agree."

Xiao Xuemu, who was being held up, frowned in disgust, stood up, and didn't even look at Liu Lanfen.

"Teacher, I don't agree. I'm not interested in being a study committee member.

and……"

Xiao Xuemu glanced at his classmates who were looking at him curiously and smiled.

"I'm not some good student. Fighting, making trouble, and brawling are all things I wouldn't do.

If you go to the military compound and ask around, I guarantee that no one doesn't know my reputation, which of course is not a good one.

If you don't want me to lead the class like this, it's better not to let me be a class leader."
