Chapter 139: one hundred thirty-nine, do not want to be Chapter 139: one hundred thirty-nine, do not want to be Song Yan Ning slightly frowned, as she didn’t want to become the class leader at all and was just about to decline.
“Teacher, I was the first to say I wanted to be class leader, why did you choose her? This is not fair.” Fang Ya stood up, looking dissatisfiedly at Teacher Tong. The teacher was clearly showing favoritism, how was she any worse than Song Yan Ning?
A hint of displeasure appeared on Teacher Tong’s face as she looked at Fang Ya, “Fang Ya, if you think you’re more suitable to be the class leader, then tell us, what qualities make you suitable for the role?”
After thinking for a moment, Fang Ya said proudly, “I’m beautiful, intelligent, my family is wealthy, and my classmates all like talking to me. Song Yan Ning is different, she’s not good-looking and seems dumb, and she just bullied a classmate. Looking at the clothes she wears, her family must be very poor. How could someone like her be suitable to be class leader?”
Teacher Tong’s expression darkened, “Fang Ya, the teacher thinks that the qualities you mentioned have nothing to do with being a class leader. Please, take a seat.” She wondered how Fang Ya’s parents had raised her, constantly boasting about living in a mansion and being wealthy.
Frustrated, Fang Ya stomped her foot and sat down heavily. Her mother had told her that the world belonged to the wealthy, and the poor could only work for the rich, so she could not lose to Song Yan Ning, she had to be the class leader.
Teacher Tong turned to Song Yan Ning, “Song Yan Ning, from now on, you will be the class leader of this class.” She believed Song Yan Ning must be an intelligent child; otherwise, she would not have calmly taught that boy the Heimlich maneuver in such a critical situation.
Song Yan Ning stood up, “Teacher, I don’t want to be class leader.”
Fang Ya turned her head towards Song Yan Ning, a hint of smugness in her eyes. It was good that Song Yan Ning knew her place; otherwise, she would have made sure to show her. Her mother knew the principal; a word from her and the position of class leader would still be hers.
“Why?” Teacher Tong looked at Song Yan Ning, bewildered. So many students were fighting to be the class leader, yet Song Yan Ning was outright refusing. Don’t all children love honor? Being a class leader is such a glorious thing!
“I’m not suitable,” Song Yan Ning said calmly. In the future, she would often take leave due to her training and didn’t want to be the leader of these annoying kids—too much hassle for too little appreciation.
“The teacher thinks you are very suitable, so it’s decided, please take a seat,” Teacher Tong said with a smile.
Song Yan Ning shook her head helplessly and sat down. Well, it was only temporary, after all.
“Hmph!” Fang Ya glared fiercely at Song Yan Ning. Song Yan Ning, how dare you steal my position as class leader? Just wait! If my mom finds out you’re competing with me for the class leader position, she will definitely teach you a lesson.
Seeing Fang Ya glare at her, Song Yan Ning gave a bitter smile. She didn’t want trouble, but trouble seemed to find her anyway.
“Song Yan Ning, congratulations!” Yu Xiaoyan said with a smile as she looked at Song Yan Ning. Song Yan Ning was really amazing, becoming the class leader as soon as she entered the school, and the teacher seemed to really like Song Yan Ning. If only she could be like Song Yan Ning.
Song Yan Ning smiled. Whoever wanted to be the class leader could go ahead, she didn’t care at all.
After Teacher Tong had carefully explained the school rules and regulations to the students, she looked at Song Yan Ning, “Song Yan Ning, please pick two classmates to come with me to the office to bring over some new books.”
“Okay.” Song Yan Ning responded helplessly, glancing around the classroom. Seeing that everyone avoided her gaze, she knew they were unwilling to go with her.
“I’ll go with you,” Yu Xiaoyan spoke up. Song Yan Ning was her friend, so she naturally stood by her side.
Song Yan Ning smiled slightly and nodded, then looked at Gu Xiaoyu, whom she had previously thrown out, “Gu Xiaoyu, come with me to the office to move some books.”
Gu Xiaoyu glared fiercely at Song Yan Ning. He wouldn’t go with her.
Song Yan Ning’s gaze turned cold, “Gu Xiaoyu, do I need to repeat myself?”
Gu Xiaoyu wanted to refuse, but when the words reached his lips, he lacked the courage to say them, “I heard you.” He stood up resentfully and followed Song Yan Ning and Yu Xiaoyan.
He really wanted to refuse, but seeing Song Yan Ning, he didn’t dare. He didn’t know why he was so afraid of Song Yan Ning. Perhaps it was because her strength had scared him just now. Despite his size, Song Yan Ning had picked him up effortlessly and tossed him out as if he were a bag of vegetables.
“Gu Xiaoyu,” Fang Ya called out Gu Xiaoyu dissatisfaction. Her mother and Gu Xiaoyu’s mother were close friends, and she knew Gu Xiaoyu well. Normally, he was fearless and hardly listened even to his mother. She really couldn’t understand why, after Song Yan Ning had just bullied him, he was still listening to her.
Gu Xiaoyu was also frustrated, not wanting to show weakness, but he was afraid that if he refused Song Yan Ning, she would throw him out again. He couldn’t afford to lose that face, especially since his back still hurt.
Seeing Gu Xiaoyu ignore her, Fang Ya’s face turned red with anger. She definitely had to tell her mother about Song Yan Ning bullying Gu Xiaoyu, so her mother could inform Aunt Gu. Aunt Gu doted on Gu Xiaoyu the most, and knowing that he was bullied at school, she would surely confront Song Yan Ning.
After moving the new books to the classroom and distributing them to the students, Song Yan Ning was about to return to her seat when Teacher Tong called her again, “Song Yan Ning, come with me to the office.” Song Yan Ning had saved her son, and she hadn’t properly thanked her yet. She had some new stationery in her office, which she planned to give to Song Yan Ning. Although the stationery couldn’t compare to saving a life, it was a token of her appreciation. She and Song Yan Ning were going to be together for six years, and there would be plenty of opportunities to repay her.
“Okay.” Song Yan Ning could only nod helplessly and follow Teacher Tong. If she had known that saving Teacher Tong’s son would result in so much trouble later on, she would not have intervened and told Yushen the method, letting Yushen do the rescue instead.
“Teacher Tong seems really nice to Song Yan Ning. Could they possibly know each other?” As soon as Song Yan Ning and Teacher Tong left, a classmate speculated.
“They must know each other; otherwise, why would Teacher Tong appoint Song Yan Ning as the class president? How is she better than me?” Fang Ya huffed discontentedly.
“Actually, Song Yan Ning is okay, just not very good-looking.”
“She’s not just not good-looking; she’s outright ugly,” Fang Ya huffed. The more she thought about it, the more depressed she became. It was bad enough to lose, but losing to a girl who was both ugly and poor was even worse.
Song Yan Ning followed Teacher Tong to the office, which, besides Teacher Tong, contained three other teachers who taught their class.
Since Song Yan Ning had previously come in to move books, nobody found it strange when Teacher Tong brought her into the office.
