Chapter 148: I Have a Small Wish ②
She carefully put away the pink envelope in her hand and looked at Li Kai, “Thank you, I think I understand what you mean. But… I still hope we can be friends.”
“Okay,” Li Kai nodded.
She smiled, then turned and left the classroom, leaving Class 10 with her good friends. Although she said they could be friends, she thought that apart from accidental encounters, she probably wouldn’t see this boy again in her life, because they were not people from the same world.
Luo Xu and Wang Chao Lei walked up to Li Kai, smiling and saying, “Let’s go! Let’s go eat!”
Li Kai nodded, put the pink ribbon in his hand into his schoolbag, and then went to the canteen to eat with Luo Xu and the others.
After school in the afternoon, Li Kai and Huang Yan walked onto the lectern. Seeing their actions, it was clear they had something to say, so the classmates didn’t rush to leave, just sat in their seats.
Bai Ya actually had a lot of complaints about her position as Art Committee Member being taken. It was one thing for Li Kai to take it; Li Kai sang so well, so what about Huang Yan? She could play the clapper? She had never seen anyone so shameless as to vote for themselves. Perhaps it was jealousy from losing, but Bai Ya found Huang Yan unbearable.
“As everyone knows, the school is going to hold an art festival. Regarding the programs for the art festival, I want to let everyone recommend themselves first. If the program receives over eighty percent approval in the class, it will be kept. If it doesn’t exceed eighty percent, it will be rejected. If fewer than three programs are selected, the Art Committee Members will arrange additional programs at their discretion. Does anyone have any objections?” Li Kai stood on the lectern, glanced at Huang Yan, who was not planning to speak, and then continued, “If there are no objections, everyone move the tables and chairs to the sides to make space for performances.”
Nie Qiu was about to stand up to move the tables when she saw Zhang Qidi waving at her from the classroom window outside. She smiled and raised her hand, “Report, I request to leave early.”
Huang Yan turned her head and looked at Zhang Qidi outside the window. Just as she was about to nod, Li Kai frowned and shouted, “No!” Like Huang Yan, he also saw Zhang Qidi waving outside the window. He didn’t know this person’s name, but he knew this person was from Class 1, had competed against him on the basketball court, and knew this person waited outside the classroom for Nie Qiu every day. Who exactly was this person? Why hadn’t he seen anyone waiting for Nie Qiu before?
“Hey! It’s already after school!” Huang Yan frowned and shouted. She originally wanted to be the Art Committee Member herself, but this person, who was also the Class Monitor, appeared out of nowhere. She felt like she had no room to maneuver. She originally wanted to use her authority to let Nie Qiu leave, so she could prove that she had indeed become this so-called Art Committee Member!
But this person stopped her without a word. How could she swallow that? Then her previous confident declaration of wanting to be the Art Committee Member, wanting to select programs, and telling Nie Qiu what she would do after becoming the Art Committee Member, wouldn’t that all become a joke?
She could imagine that she would have no say in selecting and arranging programs this time. She had no common ground with this person at all!
She had never been a class cadre, and her grades had not been very good since childhood. After entering junior high school, she fell in love with reading novels. She also wanted to be a class cadre, to enjoy the feeling of management, and to be able to tell her parents at home that she had become a class cadre! But what was this?
“No means no. If I say no, it’s no. So what if it’s after school? Selecting programs for the class is a matter for all classmates, and no one can leave early,” Li Kai said loudly. “Huang Yan, you are the Art Committee Member, how can you be so selfish?”
“What selfishness? It’s already after school, why won’t you let Nie Qiu leave? Who do you think you are?” Huang Yan’s eyes turned red. She just wanted to use her authority to prove that she had really become the Art Committee Member. She had previously gone to Nie Qiu’s family’s vegetable stand with confidence and joy. She wanted to prove that she wasn’t a joke. She could already imagine what the classmates would think if she and Li Kai both became Art Committee Members. She wouldn’t have any say in any decisions or plans.
“I am the Class Monitor!” Li Kai also got angry, inexplicably angry. The pent-up frustration from before erupted. “Huang Yan, don’t think you can do whatever you want just because you’ve become the Art Committee Member. I can still manage you! This is a class activity, who said you can leave?”
