Chapter 162
Yan Ruyu, the homeroom teacher, is incredibly efficient. She finished selecting all the class committee members just as evening self-study was coming to an end, without any delays.
There were exactly ten class committee members left.
Five boys and five girls.
Among the ten individuals, Xiaoqi noticed that the female committee members were all quite attractive. It seems people's first impression of girls begins with their appearance.
The ones who were selected are all quite good-looking...
The vice class monitor, Yue Lai, is tall and elegant, with handsome features and a great figure. He dresses stylishly and has a unique arm bracelet. As Xiaoqi approached him, she noticed the intricate animal pattern on it.
Surprisingly, all three roommates in Dorm 605 are class committee members.
Lin Dongqing, there's no need to mention her. She has eye-catching blonde hair and mixed-race genes. Her facial features are delicate, resembling the female celebrity Chen Hao. She has fair skin, a cute little tiger tooth when she smiles, and a lovely and charming appearance. She's the kind of girl who is instantly perceived as beautiful.
Su Li's appearance doesn't conform to traditional aesthetics, and she's relatively petite. However, when she stands among a group of people, she definitely won't be overlooked. She's 1.58 meters tall but exudes a presence of someone who is 1.85 meters tall. It seems like she didn't wear much makeup for the evening, just some bright red lipstick. But the color is vibrant and doesn't clash with her lips; it actually looks pretty and unique.
Then there's Chu Yu. Although she has a somewhat sickly demeanor, her facial features can be described as delicate and refined, though not as striking. She wears a very ladylike cotton and linen skirt and top, giving off a gentle, artistic vibe. She's probably the type that many boys like.
However, Xiaoqi can't help but feel that she's not as carefree as she appears on the surface. Perhaps it's because Xiaoqi had a bit of bias against her from the beginning. When she sees Chu Yu, she can't help but think of the old lady in the village who always took advantage of others under the pretense of being chronically ill.
Moreover, Chu Yu originally ran for the publicity committee member position, but when she saw that Chen Daen had an exceptionally high number of votes, she immediately gave up and switched to the labor committee member position. She's very concerned about being the main or vice committee member.
As for the male class committee members, the class monitor Cai Yu is quite handsome, with a sunny disposition and good taste in fashion.
The vice academic affairs committee member Mao Wenshu is also pleasant to look at. Although he wears glasses and seems a bit silly, his facial features are symmetrical, and his skin is fair. He looks like the kind of pampered baby from a good family. He wears a checkered shirt and khaki cropped pants. Surprisingly, he even wears long sleeves, and the cuffs are neatly done. His shoes are white sports shoes, exceptionally clean, with white shoelaces. He's clearly someone who values cleanliness.
Of course, at first glance, the most good-looking one is the sports committee member Li Weijin. Xiaoqi doesn't know why he decided to run for class committee. Li Weijin's attractiveness doesn't require careful observation. He's probably just like the hottest popular stars now. Whether he's slouching or sitting up straight, he immediately catches people's attention and gives the impression of being exceptionally delicate and beautiful. Yes, even though he's a boy, using the word "beautiful" doesn't sound out of place at all. Xiaoqi only glanced at him and didn't dare to look more, feeling a sense of inferiority if she were to stare too long.
As for the other two boys, the vice labor committee member, Xiaoqi's former desk mate, Mier's fellow villager, Chen Hanhe, was thin and had ordinary features, resembling an average person without leaving much of an impression.
Chen Daen was also thin and dark-skinned, but he had a striking appearance. His way of speaking was unforgettable. Although it had nothing to do with being handsome, he had a great deal of charisma.
While Xiaoqi was sizing up others, they were also sizing her up. Although they had been through a week of military training together and attended classes for a day, they were not yet familiar with each other. There were too many students in the class, and many of them hadn't even exchanged a single word.
Her serious face made her appear unapproachable, but it was merely a mask of inner nervousness and insecurity. Leaving Lushan City and coming to Enhua University, a new environment with countless new classmates and teachers, Xiaoqi felt as if she had returned to Lushan City No. 1 Middle School, feeling nervous and cautious once again.
Back then, she didn't have any specific goals, just busily adapting to the new environment and studying. It seemed like she was always busy, naturally confined to her own circle, living a life within her own circle.
Now she was still busy, but it was better than before. It seemed like she had a goal and felt fulfilled and grounded. Her purpose in studying was clear, and she had a lot of motivation. However, when it came to interpersonal relationships and socializing, Xiaoqi hadn't made much progress. Deep down, she was still the little girl who came out of the primitive village of Lumula.
That little girl still resided firmly in her heart.
Today, she was wearing a white dress with a simple red rubber band tied on her head, which she had casually picked up before leaving. In reality, she was very beautiful.
With phoenix-shaped eyes, long eyelashes, neatly aligned teeth when she spoke, fair skin, and a short hair bun, she was incredibly cute. However, she maintained a serious expression on her face, looking very serious, creating an inexplicable contrast that was adorable.
In the afternoon, Li Weijin saw her working at the horse stable, completely focused and exceptionally diligent.
It was also because of this that he impulsively stood up and ran for class representative.
Now, seeing her sitting seriously in front of him, so close that he could see her long eyelashes, he suddenly felt like it wasn't such a crazy idea after all.
Su Li was just following Li Weijin for fun. Her goal was very clear. She didn't like sports at all and didn't even want to attend physical education classes. She hadn't expected that Li Weijin would actually run for class representative, so she followed along.
Class teacher Yan Ruyu surveyed everyone in the class. She felt that these students in front of her were quite outstanding. Simply being able to stand out from over seventy students was already different.
University was different from middle and high school. It was already a transitional stage towards society. You couldn't wait for others to accommodate and flatter you. You had to be independent and know what you wanted to do.
Yan Ruyu didn't know which of these people would ultimately become successful individuals, but with four years' time, there was enough room for fermentation, settling, and growth. Bumps and collisions were all part of the process. She didn't want to interfere too much. She was a carefree and casual person herself.
"Let's create a WeChat group so that I can notify you all in the group if there's anything important. Enhua University has strict disciplinary management, and you should be aware of it. Of course, university is not for others; it's for yourselves. You are all young adults now, so take responsibility for yourselves."
After the homeroom teacher finished speaking, the class monitor, Cai Yu, took the initiative to create a group. Then they added each other on WeChat.
All of a sudden, Xiaoqi gained many friends, even Li Weijin added her.
Li Weijin seemed proud as he lazily sat on the chair, opening the WeChat QR code on his phone for everyone to scan.
Xiaoqi didn't really want to add so many friends. She still considered WeChat quite personal, and usually refused friend requests when joining groups because sometimes people would share personal things, making it feel like they were putting themselves on display.
But since everyone else scanned, Xiaoqi followed suit and scanned too. She didn't want to stand out.
In her heart, she thought that classmates like Li Weijin probably just went through the motions and wouldn't actually accept friend requests.
She sent a friend request to Li Weijin, with the nickname "Su Xiaoqi."
She also added Su Li, and Su Li quickly accepted. Looking at Su Li's Moments (social media feed), it felt like watching a live show of an internet celebrity flaunting wealth. Seriously, luxury cars, mansions, handbags, cosmetics, fashion shows, travel pictures from all over the world... It was eye-opening.
Xiaoqi genuinely felt that being born into a wealthy family was a skill, truly something entirely different.
Coming to Enhua University was Xiaoqi's first time traveling by high-speed rail. She hadn't even been on a plane before, while Su Li had been to who knows how many countries...
The homeroom teacher held a brief meeting, and I mean it was really brief. After joining the group, she said that if there was anything important, she would notify them in the group and then left immediately.
Then the class monitor, Cai Yu, unexpectedly asked everyone to stay a bit longer. He mentioned that tomorrow was Teachers' Day, and although they were freshmen, they still needed to show some appreciation.
Xiaoqi hadn't even thought about this, but as she looked at the class monitor confidently talking, she couldn't help but admire him. He truly deserved to be the class monitor.
As she watched the propaganda committee member, Chen Daen, and the labor committee member, Chu Yu, actively brainstorming and giving suggestions, Xiaoqi's mind wandered off again.
After a while, her phone vibrated, and it was actually a friend request approval.
Nanbei Chao??
There was also a reply from Li Weijin, with a cute cat avatar.
Xiaoqi was startled.
She looked up and saw Li Weijin, who was sitting not far away, still lazily sitting there. He seemed to have noticed her gaze and actually looked up and smiled at her.
Xiaoqi's heart skipped a beat. Damn, he had such a beautiful smile.
She quickly and embarrassedly lowered her head.
