Chapter 157 - 157 154 Did Someone Dig Up Your Ancestral

Chapter 157: Chapter 154 Did Someone Dig Up Your Ancestral Grave? (Third Update) Chapter 157: Chapter 154 Did Someone Dig Up Your Ancestral Grave? (Third Update) Hearing the question about boys and girls once again, Xia Shi was absolutely furious!

What’s wrong with having fewer girls?

Does having fewer girls mean they can’t be officers?

Who made that rule?

Because she was so angry, she couldn’t help but once again drag Song Jiawen into the comparison as she spoke.

Actually, she didn’t want to, but she couldn’t help it—her words just blurted out quickly, and she felt somewhat regretful after speaking. After all, it wasn’t long ago that Song Jiawen had just warned her. Considering her gaze back then, Xia Shi was still a bit wary.

But what was said was said, could she really be afraid of her?

Xia Shi glanced at Song Jiawen, sitting silently in the corner with her head down out of the corner of her eye, and snorted disdainfully inside.

What’s the big deal?

Lately, their girls’ dormitories had all been talking about Song Jiawen, especially since almost everyone got tanned during military training, except for her.

It just seemed like her face… how could it become even whiter after sun exposure?

Some girls went to ask Liang Yujun and the others, inquiring if Song Jiawen had used some special sunscreen.

Special sunscreen, Ding Yuanyuan was very direct about it—if it wasn’t for their insistence, she wouldn’t have wanted to apply anything at all.

Xia Shi was actually aware that, being in the same class, she had seen Song Jiawen wash her face with water during the breaks and then stand directly under the sun to continue with the military training…

But she just didn’t want to talk about it, out of jealousy, pure jealousy. How could someone possibly have skin like that?

So even though she had initially intended to live and let live with Song Jiawen, it was this undercurrent of jealousy that inadvertently made her compare herself to Song Jiawen in everything.

So what if you look better than me, does that mean you’re also more capable than me?

But now, saying this sounded strange. Weren’t you competing with Shen Mengfei for the position of the Youth League Secretary?

What did that have to do with Song Jiawen?

Tang An frowned unhappily and was just about to say something when he heard a loud “bang.” Everyone turned their heads towards the source of the noise.

Song Jiawen had slapped her book heavily on the table.

She turned her head to look at Xia Shi standing in the second row, her expression very solemn, “Xia Shi, did I somehow desecrate your family’s graves in a past life?”

“What?”

Xia Shi turned her head and asked almost reflexively.

Xue Weisong, who was sitting next to Song Jiawen, heard it most clearly. His mouth curved slightly, trying to suppress his laughter.

“I think so, otherwise I can’t understand why you’re always pestering me. It’s things that don’t have anything to do with me, yet you always have to drag me into it? Otherwise, give me a reason, and let me hear if it makes any sense.”

“Pfft!”

Someone in the back, who had just caught on, couldn’t help but laugh out, followed by others snickering.

Xia Shi’s face turned red, and she glared fiercely at Song Jiawen before sitting down huffily.

“Alright, no more laughing, keep it quiet!”

Tang An spoke while tapping the table with the blackboard eraser but didn’t gloss over the incident because of Xia Shi’s embarrassment, “Student Xia Shi, I hope in the future you can address specific issues specifically and not arbitrarily involve innocent classmates.”

After finishing, he swiftly redirected the conversation back to the evening’s topic, “We now have two students who have nominated themselves for the position of Youth League Secretary. Is there anyone else who would like to self-nominate?”

Actually, Shen Mengfei was the candidate he favored for the position of Youth League Secretary, and he had discussed this with Xue Weisong before, who also seemed to favor him.

Xia Shi…

Tang An swore he truly didn’t have gender bias, it’s just that there were too many boys, and some jobs really couldn’t be carried out well by girls.

This wasn’t an excuse or a reason; it was a fact!

But Xia Shi just didn’t understand, and he was quite helpless about it.

If that’s the case, then let’s vote.

No student stood up, and Tang An said, “Since it’s just the two of them, let’s just raise our hands to show our stance.”

After he finished speaking, he first glanced at Xia Shi, then lifted his head and said, “Those who choose Shen Mengfei, please raise your hands.”

Song Jiawen raised her hand without hesitation.

Tang An counted and nodded, “There are twenty-eight students who raised their hands, please put them down. Now, those who want to choose Xia Shi, please raise your hands… Wang Xu, you want to pick two committee secretaries? Why are you raising your hand twice? Who do you really want to choose?”

The boy who was called out sat in the corner of the last row, thinking he could muddle through unnoticed, only to be caught by Tang An.

He put down his hand resentfully and glanced at Xia Shi who was sitting in the middle of the second row, feeling guilty. Before, she had invited their dorm to dinner, and they all promised to vote for her, but he was also very close with Shen Mengfei. It wasn’t his fault for being indecisive; he simply didn’t know Shen Mengfei wanted to be the committee secretary.

Finally, between brotherhood and a meal, he chose brotherhood.

“There are… eight in total who have chosen Xia Shi,” This included Xia Shi herself.

Tang An cleared his throat and concluded, “In that case, our class committee secretary will be Shen Mengfei. I hope you can cooperate with Xue Weisong and actively complete class tasks and work…”

Tang An wanted to say a few more words of encouragement, but his eyes unintentionally swept over the front row and found that Xia Shi was actually shedding tears!

Her head was lowered as tears plopped down onto the desk. It wasn’t obvious at first, but as Tang An’s gaze lingered on her, the student sitting beside her noticed, and he hastily nudged the student next to him with his elbow. One person passed it to another, and soon nearly everyone knew Xia Shi was crying because she lost the election.

As one of only two girls in the class, Tang An sighed inwardly, finished the class meeting, and called Xia Shi out of the classroom.

….

As soon as Tang An and Xia Shi left, the classroom erupted with chatter–

“She cried? Did she really cry?”

“Sigh, there are only two girls in the class, and one of them you guys made cry…”

“What do you mean ‘you guys’? Aren’t you included? Don’t think I didn’t see it, you voted for Shen Mengfei.”

“I was just thinking… girls are delicate, so I thought to spare her some hard work. You know, the committee secretary’s job is both numerous and assorted, the responsibility is no less than the class leader’s. If that son of a gun Shen Mengfei wants to do it, let him. Who knew she wouldn’t appreciate it.”

“Bullshit, as if I didn’t hear you just now saying she’s crazy for picking on Song Jiawen.”

“Why are you dragging Song Jiawen into this again? Did Song Jiawen dig up your family’s ancestors’ graves?”

“…”

The voices discussing were not quiet, and some reached Song Jiawen’s ears. Her mouth twitched as she thought, who says gossip is women’s nature?

If men get into gossip, women can’t even compare.

Listen to them go on, with the topic veering further and further off course until Xia Shi, the central figure of the conversation, was completely forgotten, as they jokingly urged Shen Mengfei to treat everyone.

“Speaking of which, I’ve never treated everyone to a meal either. How about this—after school tomorrow afternoon, I’ll join Shen Mengfei in treating everyone at ‘Jinkuaizi’ by the school gate. How does that sound?”

The speaker was Xue Weisong, who was leaning back comfortably, facing the rear of the class.

And as soon as everyone heard the words ‘Jinkuaizi’, they immediately cheered.

It was a restaurant with a very good reputation near the school gate. It wasn’t particularly expensive, but difficult to book with a large group.

By saying they would go there, it was clear Xue Weisong meant they would have to book in advance.
