Starting from the third year of high school, students would begin attending evening self-study classes until 9 o'clock in the evening. At 8:30 p.m., the school cafeteria provided fried rice, noodles, buns, and other snacks for the students.
Sun Guotao came in during evening self-study.
He still wore that characteristic smile, and then he placed a piece of paper on the blackboard and said to everyone, "This is the new seating chart. Take a look, and if there are no issues, please change seats according to this chart."
The students sitting in the front row were already craning their necks to see.
Sun Guotao stood to the side holding a large teacup and said, "Come up and take a look, then pack up and change seats for this evening's study session."
As soon as he finished speaking, several students went up in pairs or small groups. Seeing that those students were fine, the others also went up.
After everyone had seen it, they were all puzzled. Finally, a student couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, what is the basis for your seat assignment?"
Sun Guotao smiled and said, "I won't tell you. If you're not satisfied, you can come to me to adjust it."
Interestingly, no one was dissatisfied, and everyone's deskmate was a classmate they got along well with.
Moreover, Sun Guotao mentioned that the seats would be rearranged horizontally and vertically every month, so no one would always sit in the first row or the last row.
Everyone was very satisfied.
But one person was not satisfied.
Qin Ju actually didn't care much about who her deskmate was. In her opinion, as long as it wasn't Lin Nian, it would be fine. She was concerned about having to deal with her deskmate all day, which might affect her studies.
Jiang Xiaoyue looked at her seat, went back to Qin Ju, and said happily, "Qin Ju, we're still sitting in the front and back seats!"
Qin Ju was very pleased.
Jiang Xiaoyue continued, "Hey, you actually sit at the same table with Shen Yi!"
"What?!" Qin Ju was shocked and immediately rushed to the podium. At this time, not many people were looking at the seating chart. She could clearly see the words "Shen Yi" next to her seat.
How could this be?
In fact, during senior year, many class teachers avoided having boys and girls sit at the same table due to concerns about premature relationships. Some teachers even made all the girls sit in the front and the boys in the back to prevent such issues.
But sometimes, it is better to unblock than to block.
Sun Guotao was still standing at the door with the large teacup in his hand, smiling, and saw that other students were starting to change their seats.
No one approached the teacher, and Qin Ju didn't want to go to the teacher to change seats at this moment.
She thought, let's just go with it for now and then ask the teacher privately later.
She returned to her seat in silence and began to pack her things.
As the evening self-study session was about to end, Qin Ju sat next to Shen Yi. She felt very conflicted. She had promised to stay away from him in this life, but now he was getting closer and closer to her.
Fortunately, her new deskmate had been sleeping on the table since the seat change. He looked no different from his previous lazy and indifferent self, which made Qin Ju feel a bit relieved.
However, she didn't know that, where she couldn't see, the corners of Shen Yi's mouth were slightly raised.
Sun Guotao watched with a smile as everyone moved to their seats. Before announcing the end of the class, he made one more announcement.
"In the third year of high school, there aren't many tasks for the class committee. They mostly involve study. This time, we'll use voting to select them. Each person will cast one ballot and write three names on it. You can write your own name, someone else's, or just the position the elector holds. Okay, everyone think about it, and I'll collect the ballots during the evening study session tomorrow."
-------
Qin Ju looked at the other person's squinting eyes and suddenly had a new impression of the teacher. Old ginger is still spicy.
Moreover, she recalled that it was said somewhere that people with squinty eyes are not simple.
On one hand, the students were breaking the rules and regulations set by Li Mei, and on the other hand, the students quickly developed a positive impression of the new head teacher.
Favor is the first step, and trust is the next step.
Qin Ju turned her head and saw that Li Dong and several other class leaders, promoted by Li Mei, had indeed changed their expressions.
Just then, the bell for the end of class finally rang. Qin Ju grabbed her schoolbag and walked out while thinking about the day's events.
Jiang Xiaoyue, a day student, also carried her schoolbag and caught up with Qin Ju. "Qin Ju, you really don't want to live here anymore?"
"Well, my family moved to the county town."
"Okay then, let's go together after school, and then we can go out and play on the weekend!"
"I don't know if it's on our way."
The two of them walked to the carport together and saw Chen Feng pushing a cart.
Chen Feng, pushing a black bicycle with a large beam, stood in front of Qin Ju. He frowned and said, "Qin Ju, why are you slandering Lin Nian in the village?"
Qin Ju looked him straight in the eye. "What do you mean by slandering Lin Nian?"
"You don't have to pretend. Lin Nian already said it was you who spread the rumors. Now everyone in her village thinks that she..."
"Thinks what of her?"
Chen Feng, having an intimate relationship with Lin Nian, was too embarrassed to discuss those details directly.
He looked at Qin Ju with complicated eyes and whispered, "You slandered her and put her under such great mental pressure that she couldn't survive. What is your purpose?"
Purpose?
These were the things Lin Nian had done to her in her previous life. Qin Ju didn't understand the other party's purpose at first, but she later found out.
The purpose was to seize her life.
Her originally destined life had this angry young man in front of her, but Qin Ju's eyes were filled with pity as she looked at Chen Feng.
Qin Ju knew that Lin Nian had never loved Chen Feng in both of her lives; she only wanted fame and fortune to be tied to this male protagonist.
Seeing Qin Ju remain silent, Chen Feng became even more anxious. "Why are you silent? Are you feeling guilty?"
Qin Ju's tone remained calm. "I didn't do it."
"How is that possible? Lin Nian said it!"
Jiang Xiaoyue, who was standing next to them, didn't understand what was going on but said unhappily, "Chen Feng, what's wrong with you? Why do you believe whatever Lin Nian says and not what Xiao Ju says? Is she your mother?"
Chen Feng's face turned red, but thinking about his relationship with Lin Nian, he didn't say anything back.
People of this age are still very conservative about some things.
Seeing his reaction, Qin Ju vaguely guessed something. She couldn't help but sigh, realizing that Lin Nian would do anything to live a good life.
Moreover, the reason Chen Feng came to cause trouble must be Lin Nian's instruction.
Qin Ju calmly looked at Chen Feng's slightly reddened neck and said, "If I really did this, you can ask Lin Nian to provide evidence and sue me. If there is no evidence, Chen Feng, what you are doing now is also slandering me. I am very fragile and might not dare to come to school tomorrow. In that case, you would be the culprit who ruined me."
"I…"
Qin Ju pushed the cart away with Jiang Xiaoyue. She had already decided to find a reason to see Sun Guotao the next day.
Well, just use the reason of reporting that a classmate in the class is having a premature relationship.
Chen Feng: Did you tell the teacher that Xiao Nian and I were dating?
Qin Ju: Oh, I didn't say that. Now that you mention it, it reminds me. I'll report you right away.
Chen Feng: …
