Chapter 34: I'm Sick, I'm Very Sick (3k, please follow for reading)

After a simple dinner at QQ-e Home, Chen Yansen walked toward the classroom at a leisurely pace.

Strolling along, he thought about his meeting with Zhao Maolin tomorrow.

'I hope that old fool doesn't do something stupid.'

Chen Yansen narrowed his eyes, a trace of ruthlessness flashing in his gaze as he pondered silently.

"Eh? Senior, it's you! Are you going to Building D too?"

A clear, melodious voice came from not far away, drilling into Chen Yansen's ears.

Chen Yansen came to his senses and looked up; it was Su Meiling, whom he had met during the day, accompanied by several vibrant girls, obviously her roommates.

"Yes, Junior Sister Su," Chen Yansen replied calmly, forcing back a smile.

Su Meiling's roommates had mostly also handled their campus cards through Chen Yansen, and seeing him, they greeted him with equal enthusiasm.

Chen Yansen responded to each one, chatting as they walked, and before long they arrived at their destination—Classroom D408.

To the surprise of Su Meiling and the others, Chen Yansen actually followed them inside.

"Senior, you..."

Su Meiling had just opened her mouth to ask when she was cut off by Meng Xibo's shout: "Brother Sen, we're over here."

"Junior Sister, I'll go over first; we'll talk later."

Chen Yansen waved goodbye and walked toward Meng Xibo and the others.

"The liberal arts major is so great; there are so many girls in our class. What's the name of the girl walking with Brother Sen? She seems the most beautiful!"

Zhu Xiaopeng adjusted his glasses and commented in a low voice.

"Don't stare! She might be our future big sister-in-law!"

Meng Xibo pushed him, reminding him seriously.

"What's the use of just looking? If you like her, go chase her! Don't think your only competitors are the boys in our class; the seniors from the second and third years are all like wolves and tigers. If you act late, you might stay single for all four years of university."

After sitting down, Chen Yansen reminded them earnestly.

"Ah? What if she already has a boyfriend?" Song Yang shrank his neck, acting somewhat cowardly.

"A boyfriend is just a boyfriend, not a husband. Having a boyfriend is even better; there's only one competitor, so the probability of winning her over is actually higher."

Chen Yansen hooked his arm around Song Yang's neck and threw back at him the exact words the other had spoken in his past life.

"Brother Chen, y-you're too scummy."

Song Yang's face flushed with embarrassment; he deliberately created distance from him, then praised him against his conscience.

I'm scummy?

Those words were spoken by your own mouth!

Chen Yansen spat inwardly.

Since Chen Yansen entered, surrounding students frequently cast curious glances, wondering in their hearts: Why is Senior Chen appearing at their class meeting?

Chen Yansen sighed lightly, realizing his 'senior' identity was probably played out; rather than being exposed, he might as well take the initiative.

"A-Zhe, move over; I'll go up and help you campaign."

Chen Yansen patted Tang Zhenzhe's shoulder, signaling him to pull his feet back and make a path for him.

"Brother Chen Sen, don't joke; I really don't want to be class monitor."

Tang Zhenzhe grabbed Chen Yansen, shaking his head helplessly and speaking with a bitter smile.

"No! You do!"

Chen Yansen shook off his hand and strode confidently onto the podium.

That dog Tang Zhenzhe had once dragged him into a business KTV, wiping his nose and tears, saying that if he had known being class monitor meant spending every day with Su Meiling, he would definitely have run for class monitor.

It's just that back then, he was too pretentious!

Brother, this time, I'll take you to the peak!

He knew Tang Zhenzhe's capabilities; being class monitor would be a piece of cake for him. In his previous life, Tang Zhenzhe didn't run for election mainly because some unpleasant experiences in high school made him underestimate the resources a university class monitor could control.

Moreover, if Tang Zhenzhe became class monitor, there would be no need to worry about dorm inspections and roll calls in the future.

"Hello everyone, I am Chen Yansen. Let me reintroduce myself: like everyone here, I am a freshman in Class 10 Journalism. First, thank you all for trusting me and handling your campus cards through me..."

Chen Yansen stood on the podium, speaking with calm composure.

"What? Senior Chen is actually in the same major and the same class as us?"

"What senior? He's also a freshman! So he's a liar!"

"How can you speak like that? What did the senior lie to you about? Was your campus card plan wrong or the price wrong?"

"Wow! The senior is in our class! We can see him often."

As soon as he finished speaking, the classroom instantly erupted into chaos, with everyone discussing it fervently.

"He's a freshman? In my class!"

Su Meiling stared blankly at Chen Yansen, her brain crashing repeatedly, then suddenly realized what had happened, wishing she could bury her head under the desk.

In the morning, she had called him 'senior' again and again, even wanting to be his girlfriend.

She thought it was a matter of the past, but now she was told she had to endure it for another four years; the cruel reality made her instantly collapse.

More than half of the Class 10 Journalism campus cards were handled through Chen Yansen; hearing him say this, there were no bad feelings. Everyone had no complaints, after all, the cards were real, the plans were real, and now they had an additional student general agent on campus.

"... Secondly, regarding tonight's class monitor election, I recommend student Tang Zhenzhe. There are three reasons: First, Student Tang is experienced, having served as class monitor for fourteen years since kindergarten; Second, Student Tang's organizational and coordination skills are outstanding; in the future, whether it is applying for financial aid or scholarships, he will do his best to fight for everyone; Third,..."

After they quieted down slightly, Chen Yansen continued speaking.

Who is Tang Zhenzhe?

To make Chen Yansen, the general agent for Telecom campus cards, trust him so much?

Everyone turned their heads, looking toward the direction of Dormitory 8302.

"A-Zhe, come up and say hello to everyone!"

Seeing the situation, Chen Yansen beckoned to Tang Zhenzhe, treating the classroom entirely as his own domain.

"That damn Chen Yansen, he won't be class monitor himself, yet he uses his influence to push someone from his dormitory."

"Wenhao, why don't you go up too? We aren't familiar with the girls over there; if he finishes gathering votes and the counselor arrives, you'll be at a disadvantage."

"Li Ge, take them on! We all support you!"

In another corner of the classroom, several people from 8316 gathered, eyes blazing with fire, whispering plans.

"Forget it, let's see how things develop."

Li Wenhao looked at the podium, a hint of unwillingness flashing in his eyes; he waved to his roommate and pretended to be magnanimous.

Actually, he wanted to go up, but he didn't dare confront Chen Yansen head-on; besides, he wasn't as socially bold as Chen Yansen!

Tang Zhenzhe forced his way up to the podium, muttering constantly in his heart: When did I ever serve as class monitor for fourteen years? I damn well don't even know it myself!

"Fellow students, I am Tang Zhenzhe, from Luzhou. Thank you to classmate Chen Yansen for the recommendation. Speaking of being class monitor, I indeed have rich experience, especially in organizing class activities, such as hiking, camping, and karaoke; I know the tourist spots around Xucheng very well..."

Tang Zhenzhe spoke slowly; when mentioning eating, drinking, and playing, his eyes lit up, and he spoke vividly.

What teenager of seventeen or eighteen doesn't love to play?

Those who love to play can't even come to Xucheng Academy.

Hearing him say this, the students below felt that having him as class monitor seemed not bad.

"Classmate Tang, if you can organize a movie for me and Chen Yansen, I guarantee I'll vote for you!"

A bold girl shouted with a grin.

"Me too!"

"Senior, I also want to watch a movie with you!"

Several girls chimed in with chatter.

"No problem, I'll look into which movie to watch later."

Chen Yansen nodded and agreed readily; watching a movie was easy for him to solve, as there was a projector in the classroom; he would organize the whole class to watch together, ensuring not a single student was left out.

"Yo! You're quite self-disciplined, already doing self-introductions on your own."

Just then, Guo Dongchen pushed the door open and walked in; seeing the two on the podium, he thought they were spontaneously breaking the ice and exchanging greetings.

Chen Yansen and Tang Zhenzhe exchanged smiles, greeted the counselor, and then returned to their seats with smiles on their faces.

Afterwards, Guo Dongchen first made a self-introduction, then took out a list and asked everyone to come up one by one to introduce themselves; in passing, he casually asked, "Among you, who has experience as class monitor?"

Unexpectedly, everyone turned their gaze squarely toward Tang Zhenzhe!

Learning that Tang Zhenzhe had fourteen years of class monitor experience, Guo Dongchen almost laughed out loud at first, clearly not believing it.

But when Tang Zhenzhe stood on the podium and fluently delivered his campaign speech, he began to believe it a bit.

How could he know that Tang Zhenzhe, having recited the campaign speech twice in a short time, was naturally well-versed in it?

Besides Tang Zhenzhe, Li Wenhao and Su Meiling also participated in the class monitor election, but Tang Zhenzhe's vote count was far ahead.

Among the 18 boys in the class, 8302's votes went to Tang Zhenzhe, 8316's votes went to Li Wenhao, and the remaining 8324 voted randomly, but the 41 girls' votes mostly went to Tang Zhenzhe.

Su Meiling's vote count was surprisingly low!

This shows that few people in university are keen on the class monitor position, and at the same time, girls are not particularly fond of pretty female classmates.

Guo Dongchen pondered for a long while, then announced that Tang Zhenzhe would serve as class monitor and Su Meiling as the league branch secretary.

After speaking, he specifically glanced at Chen Yansen; this troublemaker not jumping out to run for class monitor truly made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Subsequently, he continued, saying that in the next five days, everyone needed to actively participate in orientation education, such as learning the school history and singing the school song.

In plain terms, it was actually giving this group of semi-grown children a buffer period, letting them relax for a few days first, so they could adapt to university life as soon as possible.

And from September 9th to September 25th, a two-week military training will be conducted; students with physical discomfort can request leave from him in advance.

"Teacher Guo, I'm sick, very seriously sick."

As soon as Guo Dongchen finished speaking, Chen Yansen's hand immediately shot up.

Standing at attention, standing at ease, standing in military posture, baking to death under the sun?

Chen Yansen had no interest; learning that Meng Yaqin's younger sister was the school doctor at Xucheng Academy, he stubbornly pestered until he got a few sick leave slips.

"You? Lumbar disc herniation?"

Guo Dongchen stared at the sick leave note, reading it twice; it bore the school hospital's seal, proving no problem, but his intuition told him Chen Yansen was definitely faking illness.

"It's good that this troublemaker isn't participating in military training; saves me from worrying he'll clash with the instructor."

Thinking this, Guo Dongchen earnestly instructed, "Classmate Chen, then you must pay extra attention to rest."
