Chapter 793: Committee Duties Suspension
Chapter 793: Committee Duties Suspension
The class leader firmly rejected Winnie’s awful idea of making Xiao Qin the next committee member and didn’t leave any room for negotiations.
If Xiao Qin was present, she probably would have said: “The evil female protagonist number two is jealous of my talent! A talented like manga artist like me can effortlessly beat the other classes if I was in charge of the chalkboard art!”
No, I had to support the class leader’s decision. If the Xiao Qin drew on the class chalkboard, we could expect the teacher who’s teaching at the podium will find it incomprehensible, while the students will feel uneasy being started at by a monster, which will eventually lead to a drop in overall academic performance.
To prevent that from happening, it would be better to let Zhuang Ni control the chalkboard. If she draws some gorgeous girls and add decorative vines or flower patterns, at least we won’t be laughed at by the other classes.
Zhuang Ni planning to come back to class wasn’t good for me——she had a lot of hostility towards me and was definitely planning her revenge.
After discussing about the arts committee member, the topic landed on the PE committee members.
The class leader looked at me. Before we came to school, she had already contacted me and said she would likely stop my committee duties so it wouldn’t be a burden on my heart.
I didn’t really have any objections. The class leader imposed the position on me in the first place. It doesn’t affect me at all if she removes me from my position.
Though I was curious what excuse the class leader was going to use to remove me. She must have thought of an excuse that would not harm my ego and satisfy everyone, right?
“Everyone, especially Winnie, listen closely.” The class leader said a bit awkwardly, “After the third year starts, our class will temporarily go back to the single committee member system. Ye Lin has special circumstances, so he can’t be the PE committee member for the time being, and he also has to reduce his participation in PE classes…”
Everyone was stunned, and Niu ShiLi’s expression was even more puzzled.
Winnie was the first one who couldn’t hold back and complained, “Class leader, why do you keep changing it? What kind of special circumstances prevents Ye Lin from being a PE committee member? It was hard to finally have someone help me move the sports equipment, but now I’m left alone again!”
Niu ShiLi said from the side: “I don’t think any woman who addresses themselves with masculine words needs a man to help them move things, right? But what’s wrong with you, Ye Lin? The class leader didn’t let you move the desks earlier either… did you get injured?”
The class leader nodded before I could respond.
“Ye Lin, he… got into a fight during summer break and injured his lower back and needs to rest it for a while.”
What? Class leader, why are you saying I got into a fight? I thought you were going to leave me some self-respect? Why couldn’t you say I was helping an elderly woman cross the road and was beaten up by a jealous grandpa!
“He never changes…”
I don’t know who said it, but I turned around and everyone nervously avoided my gaze. The English class representative still had a still look on her face, so I bet she was the one who said it.
While nobody else said anything, they were probably all thinking: Ye Lin was a rotten apple, so it’s right for the class leader to get rid of him.
“Are, are you okay?” Gong CaiCai showed concern for me, the one who helped her chase away some hoodlums, from the bottom of her heart.
“How many people did they have?” Niu ShiLi said, “Did you win or lose? Do you need me to help you get revenge?”
“Bring me if you’re getting revenge!” Winnie was bery enthusiastic… “Anyone who hits my best friend, no my bro… I’ll KO them!”
The class leader glared at Niu ShiLi and Winnie with a look as sharp as a blade and they both immediately stopped speaking.
After everyone quieted down, the class leader continued to say:
“Ye Lin, he… was only injured because he was trying to save me. I got surrounded by three hoodlums and Ye Lin helped me chase them away——it’s not the same as his previous fights, so please don’t judge him.”
Her words caused a lot of shock and some people said, “Ye Lin actually did something good?”
However, it was not uncommon to see some people think ‘he only saved her because she was the class leader’.
“Everyone!” Gong CaiCai worked up her courage to defend me, “Ye Lin classmate once saved me too! I saw someone selling bunnies on a pedestrian bridge and stayed there for a while to look at them, but then the sellers made me buy it. Although I loved the bunny, my mom and dad wouldn’t let me have a pet, so I couldn’t buy it. The bunny’s eyes clearly wanted me to buy it, and I felt sorry for it, and even if I couldn’t buy it, I hoped it would be adopted by a kind person…”
It’s way too wordy! She was trying hard to change her reserved nature, but how long will it take you to get to the point?
The class leader also heard about it, so she helped Gong CaiCai summarize it in a single sentence: “Ye Lin helped Cai Cai chase away two scumbags who were forcing her to buy it. It happened last semester.”
“Huh? So Ye Lin only saves damsels in distress?” Winnie was shocked, “Why didn’t he come save me? I also often get into trouble!”
I don’t think you need someone to save you! Also, didn’t you almost get into a fight with Tang Jiang when you beat him in a fighting game at Henderson Mall? He had a lot more people on his side, but you weren’t the least bit afraid! Although I did help out a bit my making Tang Jiang retreat, but it didn’t feel like I was ‘saving’ you at all!
The class leader didn’t respond to Winnie’s question, “Anyway, Ye Lin was hurt because he was standing up for what was right. The doctor told him not to move around too much, so that’s why I decided to stop his duties——does anyone have any objections?”
“No.” Everyone responded in unison with a monotone tone.
I suddenly realized the class leader did actually put a lot of thought into it, since I did actually help her chase away three hoodlums: In that ferocious alley battle, there was Li LaoEr, Zhao GuangTou, plus Luo Ning, so they could count as three hoodlums.
A girl running into hoodlums wasn’t something they should proclaim, but the class leader didn’t hesitate to preserve my reputation by sacrificing herself.
Thus, the resolution to suspend me from my duties as a PE committee member, and allowed me to decide when to participate in PE classes at my own discretion, was passed.
It’s a bit ironic that two of the most physically fit people in class 3-3, Xiao Qin and I, can actually “participate in PE class at our own discretion”, which would feel unbearable for people as delicate as Gong CaiCai!
Even if my position was suspended, the class leader still viewed me as a committee member and had no intention of kicking me out.
“Ye Lin, although you don’t feel well, can you still help Winnie maintain the class to the best of your abilities?”
She was asking me, not ordering me.
“Of course.” I nodded, “Everyone can think of me as a PE committee member who can’t move around much.”
“How serious is your back injury?” Niu ShiLi asked, “I heard there was an osteopathy clinic run by Dr. Zhao who’s been praised for treating injuries…”
Thanks for the reminder, I’ve already been there once because of a duel with the blacked out Xiao Qin that resulted in a broken left arm.
The memory was still fresh in my mind. Dr. Zhao from the osteopathy clinic was the younger brother of Dr. Zhao from the pet hospital… It would be easy to mistake him for a veterinarian, and both their catchphrases are ‘this is normal’.
A dislocated wrist, herniated disc, broken rib, or a misaligned sternum would all be classified as normal at the osteopathy clinic. Sick dogs at the pet hospital would also be called normal. I bet if I asked them to cure my heart disease, they will also say: “It’s not easy to cure and it could cause you to die, but it’s normal.”
“Ah!” Winnie, who was bored and flipping through her new textbooks, suddenly started to make a fuss, “How come I don’t have my new textbooks for biology and geography! I was planning on looking at the pictures to pass the time!”
Her phone was almost out of batteries, so she couldn’t play with it anymore.
“Um…” as the study committee member, Gong CaiCai kindly reminded, “We don’t have any new lessons for biology or geography in our third year. Although we do still have classes in those subjects, they only repeat what we’ve learned in the first two years, then it’s straight to final exams…”
In this regard, the regulations vary from province to province in China. Some provinces finishing the exams for biology and geography in the second year, leaving behind the subjects literature, math, English, physics, chemistry, politics, and history, a total of seven subjects, in the third year.
Although 28 Middle does have biology and geography classes, it doesn’t occur often and it’s all basically review. Those seven subjects mentioned before are still the main focus.
“What?! We still have to use the biology and geography textbooks from our first and second year?!” Winnie exclaimed, “I sold those old books when my mom was selling used goods!”
The class leader suggested, “Ask the third year class that just graduated to see if anyone kept those books——I’ll ask them for you too.”
“I’ll do it.” I said, “Captain Guo SongTao of the basketball team probably didn’t have time to get rid of those books yet. I’ll ask if he still has them.”
I said as I pulled out my phone and sent him a text.
I didn’t switch to safe mode, but used the “Fang Xin mode” where I might be spied on. It’s not like asking about old biology and geography textbooks is something that needs to be kept secret.
It was the first time I took out my phone in front of the class leader after it was repaired and modified by Dr. Yu. She noticed that the crack in the upper right corner of the screen was gone and displayed an extremely relieved expression.
Why does a crack make you sleep poorly! Class leader, shouldn’t you go to a doctor for your OCD? If you keep living like this, I don’t think I can take you to a museum! Since you would try to repair every crack you see!
