Chapter 18: Where Exactly Is the Misunderstanding?

"What? You're the class monitor!"

The first one to cry out in surprise was actually Shao Ziyang; he and Yang Tianxing were far too familiar with each other, being friends who had played together since childhood, and he knew exactly which part of Yang Tianxing was made of class monitor material.

Hu Jiahao and the other classmates didn't believe it either, and Hu Jiahao even mocked, "Yang Tianxing, you kid, besides not molesting women, there isn't a single thing you don't do, like smoking or fighting. How could anyone possibly elect you as class monitor?"

University class monitors are generally chosen through an election system, requiring the dual trust of the counselor and the classmates, and a class monitor needs to run errands for many trivial matters; Yang Tianxing's personality didn't seem like the type to settle down and work on Excel spreadsheets.

"Alright, alright, Ziyang, tell us about your university."

Even if Yang Tianxing was "bragging," Tan Zhizhi didn't like seeing him being ridiculed by Hu Jiahao, so she wanted to skip past it by changing the subject.

Yang Tianxing was too lazy to argue, so he listened to Shao Ziyang talk about the Northwestern Polytechnical University while smoking; the kid described it in great detail, giving a comprehensive account of the cafeteria, dormitories, the scenery on campus, and other aspects, and the key was that the others were listening quite intently.

"They really are just a bunch of simpletons who just started university."

Yang Tianxing smiled, feeling that this atmosphere was actually quite nice, but Tan Zhizhi felt a bit unhappy seeing Yang Tianxing's gaze wandering, often lingering on the pretty senior students passing by.

Hu Jiahao's attention was entirely on Tan Zhizhi; he noticed she had lost a little weight and gotten a little darker, but she was still just as charming. There were quite a few beauties in the School of Aeronautics, but almost none were prettier than Tan Zhizhi.

After Shao Ziyang finished speaking, Hu Jiahao immediately prepared to speak; he already had a complete plan to describe his school as perfectly as possible, and then naturally invite Tan Zhizhi to come over and visit.

"Ahem."

Just as Hu Jiahao was about to speak impatiently, he suddenly heard someone call out: "Yang Tianxing!"

The group turned their heads and discovered that the person walking over was a girl with short hair; her features and figure were quite average, but there was a kind of bustling, enthusiastic competence on her face.

He Yulin had originally intended to go to the men's dormitory to discuss something with Yang Tianxing, but she hadn't expected to run into Yang Tianxing sitting on the lawn by the lake with a large group of men and women halfway there.

He Yulin was also very familiar with such a scene, because she had also just met with her high school classmates.

"Yang Tianxing, after classes officially start, the class needs to hold various activities. Do we need to gather the classmates together to have a meeting in the classroom and discuss how much class fee to collect?" He Yulin asked.

The university students from Jinzhou were all stunned for a moment, especially Hu Jiahao, who felt something was a bit off.

Yang Tianxing thought for a moment: "Fifty per person. Collective discussion isn't appropriate; there will always be people who think it's too much, which easily affects the unity of the class and the implementation of matters. We'll just set this standard directly."

"Would fifty be too much?"

He Yulin hesitated slightly.

"Not much, just this amount."

As Yang Tianxing spoke, he took 100 yuan out of his pocket and handed it to He Yulin.

"I don't have any small change to give you back right now," He Yulin said with a frown.

Yang Tianxing gave a "haha" laugh and lowered his voice to say: "I paid for Liu Jiaoyue as well."

He Yulin scrutinized Yang Tianxing, then glanced at Tan Zhizhi, who was watching the two of them talk; this girl's beauty was stunning even in the Finance Institute, which was filled with beauties. He Yulin reminded him with a pointed remark: "I hope Class Monitor Yang doesn't eat what's in the bowl while looking at what's in the pot."

After saying that, she took the money and left. Yang Tianxing looked at her back and cursed: "None of your business, you tomboy."

Returning to the group of high school classmates, everyone's look at Yang Tianxing was different now.

"Little Yang, did you really become the class monitor?"

Shao Ziyang asked in disbelief.

Hu Jiahao was even more excessive, saying directly: "How could someone like you become a class monitor?"

Yang Tianxing grinned: "Not convinced? Then bite me."

However, Tan Zhizhi seemed quite happy, and in the evening, she took the initiative to offer to treat everyone.

He Yulin had just been like an effective actor, helping the male lead Yang Tianxing win back a round before exiting the stage, which also disrupted Hu Jiahao's rhythm.

Facing Yang Tianxing, who had become class monitor just two weeks after starting school, Hu Jiahao no longer had the interest to introduce his own school and said sourly: "In university, the class monitor is actually just there to serve the crowd; the Student Union is the important position. I plan to run for the Student Union after I go back."

"What a coincidence, I have that plan too," Yang Tianxing added.

This time, everyone was even more surprised; the inexplicably serious Yang Tianxing made everyone feel very uncomfortable.

When eating in the evening, Shao Ziyang called Yang Tianxing out and said with a worried face: "Little Yang, I thought you really didn't like Tan Zhizhi anymore. I didn't expect you just changed the way you pursue her, turning extroverted liking into deep love."

Yang Tianxing opened his eyes wide and looked at Shao Ziyang, and after a while, he cursed: "There weren't many dishes tonight, so what got you this drunk? Why are you just spouting drunken nonsense?"

Shao Ziyang was very unhappy: "We've been friends for so many years, can you really hide these thoughts from me?"

"What thoughts?"

Yang Tianxing looked blank.

"You becoming class monitor and wanting to run for a spot in the Student Union, isn't it to attract Tan Zhizhi's attention? Everyone knows she has good grades, so naturally, she likes ambitious boys."

A confident glow shone on Shao Ziyang's dark face, but after he finished speaking, he noticed Yang Tianxing was looking for something everywhere.

"What are you looking for?"

Yang Tianxing glanced at Shao Ziyang: "Nothing, you keep talking, I'm looking for a knife."

"What are you looking for a knife for?"

"I'm preparing to hack you to death, you idiot. Who told you to talk nonsense here, damn it."

Once Shao Ziyang heard this, he didn't even finish his meal and ran away at full speed; it was impossible for Yang Tianxing to actually hack someone, but he would definitely suffer for it.

However, after this kid ran to a safe distance, his courage grew again, and he shouted loudly: "Little Yang, I advise you not to force yourself so much. You should do things that make you happy. Being a class monitor doesn't suit you, and the Student Union doesn't suit you either!"

……………

After finally sending off this group of high school classmates, Yang Tianxing took Tan Zhizhi to the bus stop; in reality, it wasn't a special trip to send her off, just a convenient way to buy some snacks around the school.

Along the way, Yang Tianxing was sullen; after all, no one feels good when they are wronged, but Tan Zhizhi was very happy. Her exquisite melon-seed face was filled with smiles and charm, her slightly upturned corners of her mouth hung with full joy, and the dimples on both sides were faintly visible. Along the way, many boys were attracted and kept looking back.

"Inexplicable woman."

Yang Tianxing shook his head and muttered.

At the bus stop sign, Yang Tianxing didn't intend to see Tan Zhizhi onto the bus and waved his hand, preparing to say goodbye.

"Little Yang."

Tan Zhizhi suddenly called out.

"What is it?"

Yang Tianxing was a bit impatient.

"I am very happy that you are willing to work so hard for me, thank you, but you must persist."

After Tan Zhizhi finished speaking, she felt a bit shy, then stepped with light, nimble paces into the car to return to school.

"Damn it..."

Yang Tianxing suddenly felt a stifling tightness in his chest and had to smoke several cigarettes before he recovered.

"Where exactly was the misunderstanding that led to this idea????"
