No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 197 Electing Class Committee Members

November 2th at 16am.

On the playground, all the students from junior high to senior high school were dressed in neat school uniforms, listening to the school leaders' lectures in broken Mandarin from the podium.

"Hey…"

Luo Xiaobei, half asleep below the podium, hadn't stood in the gymnastics formation today. She lifted her little foot and tapped the back of Guan Ren's shoe on the right:
"Who's that up there? The principal?"

"The vice principal, I suppose..."

Guan Ren was also unsure.

To his shame, after being at school for so long, he realized he didn't recognize almost anyone on the podium.

Oh, except for Gu Wancheng.

As one of the representative teachers of the high school, she has to give a speech every year at the beginning of the school year or on important occasions.

Guan Ren squinted and craned his neck, very curious.

Unfortunately, it was too far away, and there was a low parapet along the edge of the platform, so I still couldn't see whether she was wearing stockings under her dress today.

Guan Ren glanced at Gu Youli to his right.

Asking her, "Did your sister wear stockings today?" wouldn't be appropriate...

……

In a gathering like this where there's no regard for positioning, Luo Xiaobei would definitely be hopping around next to Guan Ren like a little sparrow.

However, what surprised Guan Ren today was that Gu Youli also silently stood on his other side.

This actually made him quite upset.

When interacting with Luo Xiaobei, I always felt like there was a gaze fixed on my back from the left.

I was chatting with Sister Gu to the right when I felt a tugging sensation coming from the left.

……

Guan Ren suddenly realized that the school leaders on the stage were more attractive, so he simply stared at the stage.

However, this leader, whose identity is unknown, speaks such awkward and unpleasant Mandarin that the entire playground is filled with murmured laughter from time to time.

Guan Ren pursed his lips.

Actually, he felt that since it wasn't primary school education and it was a local school, the leaders didn't need to speak Mandarin.

……

Many people, especially those who came later, seem to like to make biased judgments about dialects, to the point that whether or not someone speaks standard Mandarin has become a criterion for judging them.

I don't know if it's related to the popularity of bourgeois urban art and literature.

Guan Ren did not have a subjective aversion to this.

Rather, it's an objective lack of understanding.

This may be because Guan Ren was exposed to a wide variety of literary and artistic works from a young age.

For example, it's hard to imagine a junior high school student storing pop songs on their MP3 player while also listening to Henan opera, crosstalk, storytelling, and patriotic choruses like "Defend the Yellow River."

In addition, in film and television, Shang Jing's sitcoms such as "The Story of the Cooking Squad" and "My Own Swordsman" instilled in Guan Ren a great fondness and interest in dialects, even dialects from other places, from a young age.

He also particularly liked the Qin Chuan dialect and the Shuntian dialect.

In short, Guan Ren was very versatile in the arts from a young age, and he was exposed to all sorts of things.

With more exposure and exposure, one becomes desensitized to and demystified by various things.

But then again...

Guan Ren had a lot of contact with Luo Xiaobei since childhood, and he had seen a lot of her. He was also very fond of her.

Why can't we ever desensitize or remove the mystique surrounding her?

Even though I've gotten used to many things related to her, I still always find her adorable and feel comfortable being with her.

"?"

At this moment, Qingmei, who was idly kicking pebbles with her hands behind her back and her feet raised, noticed that her childhood friend was staring at her. She looked up, blinked, stuck out her tongue, and made a face at him.

"Slightly~"

"..."

Hey, it's so cute!
Guan Ren grinned foolishly, even ignoring the gaze that should have been fixed on his back from the right, which had now turned into a tugging sensation.

Gu Youli, the one watching, also pursed her lips slightly, already pondering that when she got back, she would need to search online for "[What should I do if my boyfriend, who I'm in a relationship with, keeps peeking at other girls?]".

Just then, a student ran down from the stage and came to Gu Youli's side:
"Gu Youli, it's your turn to give a speech."

"Ah."

……

The opening ceremony speech should not only include the teachers.

High school students are usually recruited from the second year of high school because the first year students are not eligible, and the third year students usually have a pep rally or something.

Gu Youli gave the student speech in the second semester of the second year of high school.

As the most beautiful girl in Class 8 of the first year of high school, Gu Youli attracted a lot of attention when she walked towards the podium.

Many people remarked that the older sister represented the teachers and the younger sister represented the students. In the eyes of those who knew their personalities a little, the two were like two "flowers on a high mountain," one big and one small, which was truly a beautiful story.

Of course, no one would guess at this moment that the "high-and-mighty beauty" in their eyes, with her seemingly indifferent expression, was actually troubled by matters related to puppy love.

-----------

After a long hour, the opening ceremony finally came to an end.

The new semester is magical. Even though it's only been a winter break and the classroom is still the same, there's a completely fresh smell as soon as you walk in. "New semester, new look!"

Even Zhang Chi was full of energy.

Then he took out a new phone and started reading a new novel.

Guan Ren, on the other hand, felt that the novel was not as interesting as the new textbooks for the new semester. He was already looking forward to the release of the new book, as he was feeling bored.

"Guan Ren, Liu Xiong, find a few more people to go downstairs and move the books."

"???"

When the textbooks finally arrived, Guan Ren became unhappy again.

He had been standing on the playground for most of the day, and had just sat down when Li Min called him over again.

"Teacher Li, I...uh..."

Guan Ren tried to struggle:

"I have a stomach ache."

"stomachache?"

Li Min directly addressed Liu Xiong:

"Take Guan Ren to the infirmary."

"No, no, no! It didn't hurt that much..."

Guan Ren was sullen, while Li Min simply scoffed:
"You little rascal, the moment you take your pants off, I know what kind of shit you're going to take."

"You have a really good appetite..."

"What do you say?"

"It's nothing, I just said I'd hurry up and move the books."

It's not a good habit to blurt out your innermost thoughts for no reason. Guan Ren was a little scared and pushed Liu Xiong and the others to bring up the textbooks.

"Brother Xiong, how many books are you reading this semester?"

"I don't know yet, I'll find out after I send it."

Zhang Chi volunteered to help move the books.

He wasn't trying to lose weight.

He was just taking the opportunity to get away from Li Min's threat, go outside to read a novel for a while, and tinker with his new phone.

"Hey Chi, why is your new phone still a feature phone? Why don't you get a smartphone?"

"No money."

Zhang Chi's family strictly controls his allowance, and his mother keeps his New Year's red envelopes. But Guan Ren doesn't sympathize with him at all. After all, even if he has money now, he'll buy skins instead of giving rewards to "Confucianism and Taoism Supreme".

Guan Ren was not very willing to sympathize with readers who lacked initiative.

"By the way, there's no physiology and health textbook this semester?"

Zhang Chi suddenly asked with a sly look on his face.

Guan Ren guessed that it was because he had seen the latest few chapters of the story featuring Seven Star Fish.

"Bullshit!"

Liu Xiong mocked:

"You're in high school already, and you're still reading sex and health books?"

"That's a bad word."

Guan Ren shook his head and continued:
"It seems that in some places, sex education books were never issued during the nine years of compulsory education."

"Oh no?"

"meeting."

In fact, Guan Ren only realized after entering the workforce that not all places have health books.

Although Jiangzhou County is a small county, it has relevant books from elementary school to junior high school.

Many boys used to treat that thing like a vibrator.

But actually, as I watched, I still learned some real knowledge.

----------

Textbooks cannot be distributed in one day; some less important textbooks are transported more slowly.

Finally, it wasn't until the end of February or the beginning of March that all the books were gradually distributed.

Even during this initial period after the start of the school year, Li Min didn't stop talking.

"...In just six months! You'll be seniors in high school!..."

Guan Ren was tired of hearing this.

Back in her first year of high school, she was saying, "Now I'm a high school student, and my goal is the college entrance exam. Time flies, and before I know it, I'll be a senior."

In the first semester of her junior year, she said, "I just coasted through my freshman year, but I should be serious in my junior year. Next year will be my senior year."

In Li Min's discourse, the people in this classroom are neither first-year nor second-year high school students, but are always on the path to becoming third-year high school students.

However, Guan Ren also admitted that time really flies and high school life needs to be cherished.

On the other hand, Li Min also kept her promise from the previous semester that "everything will get back on track next semester." After the first monthly exam on March 1st, she announced the first step toward a more normal routine.

"We kept putting it off last semester, but we won't put it off this semester. We should elect the class committee!"
