Chapter 61: Green Tea Behavior

***

There weren’t many people standing at the flag-raising platform.

By the time Yu Chuyao and Tang Xiaorou went over, there were only two teachers and six or seven alternate students.

Getting selected seemed to be quite difficult.

Su Yingying and Xie Jin were already standing there, keeping quite a distance from the remaining teachers and students, as if isolating others.

Birds of a feather flock together, regardless of how others saw it, this remained Tang Xiaorou’s assessment of the two.

Seeing the two walking slowly, Xie Jin couldn’t help but mock: “What great faces you have, making so many of us wait for you two.”

Su Yingying remained unmoved beside him, clearly using Xie Jin as her weapon, but this fool was still stupidly trying to curry favor with the goddess, not noticing it at all.

Hehe, what a coincidence, Tang Xiaorou used to be like this too, so she was all too familiar with these tactics.

“Well, there was no specific time set for gathering here, and we came as soon as we got the sudden notice, didn’t we?” Tang Xiaorou calmly retorted.

The others also shifted their attention to the two’s confrontation, while the two teachers in charge were busy on the phone with leadership, unable to attend to the situation.

They actually didn’t mind whether Yu Chuyao and Tang Xiaorou came late or not, as they were all students with similar or even excellent academic performance, and naturally wouldn’t think that being called out for a class or two would affect their studies.

“Look at Yingying, as soon as she heard about coming here, she quickly ran over, unlike you two strolling here like you’re shopping!” Xie Jin said righteously, as if the two were some unforgivable criminals.

This kind of inexplicable sense of justice really made Tang Xiaorou speechless, and even Yu Chuyao beside her couldn’t hold back anymore.

“The teachers are still discussing matters, even if we came faster, we’d still have to wait, so what’s the difference?”

Xie Jin had been focusing only on Tang Xiaorou, and when suddenly someone else refuted him, he was a bit lost, scanning around before finally spotting Yu Chuyao behind Tang Xiaorou.

“You’re changing the subject!” Xie Jin felt something wrong with Yu Chuyao’s words, what if the teachers weren’t discussing but were ready and just waiting for them?

This made Tang Xiaorou even more annoyed, grabbing onto tiny matters and not letting go, simply unreasonable.

“Will you ever stop? The homeroom teacher didn’t tell us to arrive at any specific time, whether Su Yingying walks fast or slow has nothing to do with us! Don’t act like you have authority when you don’t!”

Did he think mentioning the teachers behind them would scare her? No way.

“If we had seen that everything was ready and they were just waiting for us, we would naturally have hurried over,” Tang Xiaorou said irritably.

Isn’t this everyone’s attitude? They’d all been worn down by the school’s various annoying activities, who wanted to be so enthusiastic about doing things for the school? What she said wasn’t false; if it were any of the other students, they would probably have done the same.

So Xie Jin’s moral accusations against Tang Xiaorou and Yu Chuyao were really useless.

“You!” Xie Jin once again failed to gain an advantage from the two, and adding to that his previous “humiliation” by Tang Xiaorou at the pool hall, he was about to explode with anger.

This was when Su Yingying needed to step in, quickly pulling Xie Jin and comforting him: “It’s okay, Xie Jin, everyone knows you’re thinking of the collective good, unlike certain people who only think of themselves.”

Oh my, that was quite strong. Yu Chuyao, who considered herself well-read in novels, still found it hard to handle seeing this real-life demonstration.

Too dramatic.

If looking solely from the female protagonist’s perspective in novels, this would be the protagonist being understanding and kindly trying to avoid conflict between classmates. But facing the person herself, it was clearly a case of “using others as weapons” and then showing off her own “kindness and gentleness.”

Pah, now she could see the true nature of it.

She really didn’t know why her annoying roommate recommended this kind of novel to her, was it just for this anti-setup that twisted the female protagonist’s personality?

This male and female pair’s performance was so masterful, it was like watching a TV drama.

“Hmph!” Tang Xiaorou also stopped paying attention to the two; she couldn’t even be bothered to criticize Su Yingying’s behavior anymore.

At this point, the teachers finally finished discussing details with the leadership and called everyone over.

“It’s like this,” the teacher began to explain the details of this pledge-reading announcement to them: “Essentially it’s just a recitation, and finally leading the students in shouting together, not very difficult.”

“There are still some details to pay attention to though,” another teacher added. “First, your standard Mandarin must be good, otherwise if it’s all in dialect, it won’t look good in front of the education bureau leaders and parents.”

This… some students scratched their heads. Although schools had promoted standard Mandarin since childhood, it obviously hadn’t worked in this small county town. Many teachers and students communicated in dialect both in daily life and studies, with no awareness of this at all.

If you require this, how is it any different from directly eliminating us?

But this was still okay, it wasn’t really a hard requirement, if you were selected and couldn’t speak it well, they couldn’t do anything about it.

Tang Xiaorou and Yu Chuyao didn’t mind this either. Before her rebirth, Tang Xiaorou had experienced many things, and her parents’ dialect accent wasn’t very strong, so she didn’t have much of an accent. As for Yu Chuyao, it was similar. Before transmigrating into the book, her parents had influenced her this way since childhood.

This is a bit forced! Isn’t this plot setting a bit forced! Yu Chuyao strongly suspected that the original author just wanted to set up Su Yingying, Xie Jin, and Tang Xiaorou, while she was just a coincidence, after all, she had no scenes in the original book plot.

“Tang Xiaorou.” The teacher suddenly called Tang Xiaorou’s name, and everyone’s attention immediately converged on her: “The grade director specifically named you to go up, as a representative of academically excellent female students, there shouldn’t be any problem, right?”

No problem. Tang Xiaorou shrugged, indicating she didn’t care. If they gave it to her, she’d take it; if not, she’d just walk away.

She was probably the only undisputed candidate here who didn’t need to be an alternate.

As for Xie Jin… the teacher looked at him, he was originally also an obvious choice, but recently he had been getting quite close to Su Yingying, even overly intimate, causing quite a bit of talk in their grade, so whether to choose him was still under consideration.

Xie Jin hadn’t expected the teacher to have doubts about him, and immediately wanted to show off.

“Then for the representative of improved female students.” Before he could continue his performance, the teacher’s next words attracted Su Yingying’s attention, and she quickly held him back.

Jumping out now wouldn’t that ruin my chances!

The teacher’s gaze swept back and forth between Yu Chuyao and Su Yingying several times, but didn’t directly express an opinion, making someone feel itchy inside.

Just say who you’re going to choose, stop keeping us in suspense!
