Chapter 32: Chapter 32: Young Pioneer Induction Ceremony
“Honey…” Mengmeng was trying to talk to him when Gu Zhihan poked her shoulder and gestured towards the classroom door, “Stop talking, the teacher is here.”
“The teacher is here already?”
As Mengmeng asked and looked up, her eyes hadn’t yet caught sight of the teacher when her ears were assaulted by a roar like that of a lioness.
The deafening shout silenced the once noisy classroom in an instant, and even the usually fearless Mengmeng was startled into closing her mouth and staring unblinkingly at the newcomer.
An old teacher in a black suit, looking stern and precise, walked from the classroom door to the podium, her face cold, scanning the students below her.
Her facial features were rigid, with black-framed glasses perched on her nose and her arms crossed, projecting an “I’m not to be trifled with” aura.
The little ones below couldn’t help but swallow nervously, Mengmeng included.
This teacher looks so scary…
“I will be your homeroom teacher from now on.” After a brief introduction, the homeroom teacher got straight to the point, “I won’t talk nonsense, now I’m going to rearrange your seats. To prevent early romances, boys will only sit with boys, and girls will only sit with girls!”
“Teacher, aren’t you worried that boys might fall for boys and girls might fall for girls?”
Mengmeng didn’t know what came over her, but that question just popped out of her mouth, drawing everyone’s gaze.
Tong Mo and Lu Zichen were already mentally lighting candles for her.
Daring to challenge the old witch… truly a brave soul!
“This…” Just when everyone thought the homeroom teacher was going to explode in rage, to their surprise, she furrowed her brow, displayed a thoughtful expression, and even nodded in agreement, “That makes sense.”
So the seats were slightly adjusted based on height, Mengmeng and Gu Zhihan’s seats remained unchanged, still beside each other.
Tong Mo and Lu Zichen, who had just been talking with them, became desk-mates.
After rearranging the seats, the homeroom teacher allocated class positions based on the scores from the entrance test.
“The class president is Gu Zhihan, the vice president is xxx… the Chinese representative is xx…” She listed them one by one.
“Honey, you’re the class president now!” Mengmeng shook his arm excitedly when she heard his name, seemingly happier than if she had been appointed class president herself.
Gu Zhihan responded flatly.
“Why such a lack of reaction?” Mengmeng couldn’t help but stare at his face for a few seconds.
Gu Zhihan countered, “Then what kind of reaction should I have?”
“You should be happy, excited! Isn’t this your first time as class president? Aren’t you thrilled?”
“Not thrilled.” Gu Zhihan’s expression remained blank, he even harbored thoughts of not wanting to be class president at all.
This time, it was Luo Mengmeng’s turn to experience the taste of speechlessness.
During the big break, the school’s loudspeaker announced: “All first-year students, please assemble on the sports field quickly for the Young Pioneer induction ceremony!”
“Honey, what’s this Young Pioneer induction ceremony about?” While following Gu Zhihan out of the classroom, Mengmeng tilted her head and asked him, puzzled.
“It’s where the seniors put red scarves on us,” Gu Zhihan explained concisely.
