Chapter 320: Three hundred nineteen, start of school Chapter 320: Three hundred nineteen, start of school Song Yan Ning heard the sound of wall building from next door and glanced over to find a group of strangers helping the Zhang Family build a wall.
“They must be Lu Tingxuan’s people.” Qin Yushen handed Song Yan Ning a peeled apple.
Song Yan Ning took a bite of the apple and asked, “What do you think Lu Tingxuan’s purpose is for coming here?” With Lu Tingxuan’s capabilities, it would be easy for him to deal with her; there was no need for such trouble.
“You.” Qin Yushen looked at Song Yan Ning. Lu Tingxuan knew that he and Xiao Ning were cultivators, and his own strength was almost the same as Lu Tingxuan’s, making Xiao Ning easier to deal with. However, he couldn’t quite understand why Lu Tingxuan would go through so much trouble if he was only targeting Xiao Ning.
“It would be simple for him to deal with me.” Song Yan Ning felt that her own strength was still too weak. If she were stronger, no matter what measures Lu Tingxuan employed, she wouldn’t have to worry.
Qin Yushen took her hand, “Don’t worry, I’m here for you.” He wouldn’t give Lu Tingxuan a chance to harm Xiao Ning.
“Mhm.” Song Yan Ning nodded with a smile, fully trusting Qin Yushen.
Time flew by, and before they knew it, it was already September 1st.
Early in the morning, Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen bid farewell to Yang Lisheng and his wife and headed to school.
“Call me if anything.” Qin Yushen ruffled Song Yan Ning’s hair and gazed at her with a smile. It felt great to personally take her to school.
“Okay.” Song Yan Ning nodded, got out of the car, waved at Qin Yushen, and turned to walk into the school.
Watching Song Yan Ning’s retreating figure until she disappeared into the crowd, Qin Yushen slowly looked away and drove towards the school. To make it convenient to pick up Xiao Ning, he chose a school not far from hers.
Song Yan Ning checked the list posted on the classroom door and quickly found her name.
As she walked into the classroom, which was noisy at first, it suddenly quieted down the moment Song Yan Ning entered.
All eyes turned uniformly toward Song Yan Ning. She was stunningly beautiful!
Song Yan Ning was used to such gazes and headed toward the back row, where she had always sat since elementary school because she found it quieter.
No sooner had she sat down than a boy with a face full of acne turned around, “I’m Jiang Tao, what’s your name?” She was the prettiest girl he had ever seen.
“Song Yan Ning.” Song Yan Ning put her backpack in the desk.
“You’re Song Yan Ning?” Jiang Tao looked at her in surprise. He had heard of Song Yan Ning before because she had the highest scores from elementary to middle school. He thought Song Yan Ning would look nerdy, only interested in studying, but she was lively and captivating, challenging every preconception he had.
“Guaranteed genuine.” Song Yan Ning smiled.
“You’re nothing like what I imagined,” Jiang Tao said, smiling as he took her in. It turned out beauty and intelligence could coexist.
Song Yan Ning laughed, “What did you imagine me to be like?”
Jiang Tao scratched his head sheepishly, “Maybe I shouldn’t say. You’d get mad.”
Song Yan Ning saw the teacher walk into the classroom, “The teacher is here.”
Jiang Tao turned around. He was truly happy. Having a scholar-goddess seated behind him was like a dream come true, if only they never swapped seats.
The teacher walked to the podium, clapped her hands to quiet everyone, and once the noise had subsided, she spoke, “I’m your homeroom teacher Chen Mengyu, I hope to not only be your teacher but also a good friend. If you have any issues or difficulties, feel free to come to me. I’ll help as much as I can. Now, let’s introduce ourselves.”
Chen Mengyu turned to the first row on the left, “Let’s start with this student.”
The first student stood up shyly, her face flushed as she said, “Hello! I… my name is Wang Ling, from Yang City.” After speaking, she quickly sat back down and took a long breath.
“I am Yang Jun, from Yang City.” The boy behind her promptly stood up.
“My name is Liu Yu…”
“…”
“I’m Jiang Tao, originally from Ice City, but I was born in Yang City, so I count as from there too.” Jiang Tao expounded on his background, hoping to let Song Yan Ning know more about him.
Once Jiang Tao sat down, Song Yan Ning stood up, “Song Yan Ning, from Yang City.”
Chen Mengyu smiled and nodded; she had noticed Song Yan Ning the moment she walked into the classroom. Because Song Yan Ning was simply too dazzling, ignoring her was difficult.
“She is Song Yan Ning? It’s unbelievable how pretty she is and with such high grades too.”
“If only I were half as pretty as her.”
“I’m smitten, Song Yan Ning is my goddess from now on.”
Chen Mengyu cleared her throat and clapped her hands, “Next student, please continue.”
After everyone had introduced themselves, Chen Mengyu picked up a piece of chalk and wrote a few names on the board, “These students have the top three academic numbers in our class. Now, please raise your hands to vote for a class president among them. Let’s start with number one, Song Yan Ning. Those in favor of her being the class president, please raise your hands.”
“Rustle!” Aside from a few female students, almost everyone raised their hands.
Chen Mengyu counted the ones who didn’t raise their hands, “Thirty-two students, seven did not raise their hands, making a total of twenty-five votes for Song Yan Ning.” She wrote the number of approvers on the board, “Next is number two, Zhang Jing.”
The students raised their hands again, and this time significantly fewer did so, mainly the boys abstained.
Chen Mengyu smiled, “Zhang Jing sixteen votes, next is Liu Yu.”
After everyone had voted, Chen Mengyu tallied the votes and wrote them on the board, “Liu Yu received nineteen votes. Among the three, Song Yan Ning had the highest number of votes. She will be the class president of our class. Applaud Song Yan Ning.”
“Clap, clap, clap!” A round of enthusiastic applause filled the classroom.
Song Yan Ning rubbed her temples, feeling a slight headache. She just wanted to quietly get through the three years and had no interest in being the class president.
“Congratulations, Song Yan Ning!” Jiang Tao turned around, looking at her excitedly.
Song Yan Ning forced a smile, “Thank you!” She would tell Mr. Chen in a while that she did not want to be the class president. She had so much to do; there was no time to take on such responsibilities.
“My grades aren’t very good. Can I ask you questions whenever I don’t understand something?” Jiang Tao looked at Song Yan Ning hopefully.
