Why did you make me reincarnate?

She noticed that when Xu Chaoyang went on stage, the students below were very natural and there was no sense of distance between them.

It seems like I've become the one at a disadvantage.

After writing the last stroke on the roster, Ouyang Ting looked up and glanced in Xu Chaoyang's direction.

This student is interesting. He's not in a hurry to show off, but once he opens his mouth, the whole class remembers him.

After the self-introductions, Ouyang Ting closed the roster. "Next up is the class officer election. Everyone is welcome to come up on stage voluntarily. I hope everyone will participate enthusiastically. Each person will have three minutes."

Zhang Jian was the first to rush forward. He wasn't confident he could compete with Xu Chaoyang for class monitor; he just wanted to become the sports and arts committee member.

He was physically fit and academically excellent, and he could also organize ball games. The boys below cheered him on, and there was no need for further voting. He won the position on the spot.

The publicity committee was taken by a girl named Fang Wenjing. She carried a stack of certificates and spread them on the podium. She had won awards in blackboard design and calligraphy competitions, and was unanimously approved.

When it came to the election for class monitor, Xu Nuonuo was the first to step forward, as expected.

"I was the class monitor for three years in high school and organized New Year's Eve parties and sports meets, so I have some experience. I know that college is different from high school, but I learn things quickly and am willing to spend time."

She spoke calmly: "If you elect me, I will establish a class opinion collection mechanism to regularly understand everyone's thoughts and needs, ensure that everyone's voice is heard, and create a warm and cohesive group."

The girls below nodded frequently, and several boys also showed serious expressions.

Xu Nuonuo's advantages are indeed obvious; her image is too gentle, she's practically a modern version of Zhuang Jiang.

She kept her eyes on Xu Chaoyang as she spoke, a subtle smile playing on her lips. She had practiced these words many times and was confident she could defeat all her competitors.

Then Xu Chaoyang went up and stood on the podium, supporting himself on the edge of the podium with both hands.

"I forgot to mention something during my self-introduction: I will definitely keep my promise."

The classroom fell silent after hearing his words.

"When I run for class monitor, I'll just say one thing: I'll be the first to arrive if any of my classmates are in trouble. This isn't just empty talk."

Applause erupted from the back row. The boys were shouting "Brother Chaoyang is awesome!" and several girls, caught up in the excitement, also joined in the clapping.

Seeing that the two sides were evenly matched and many students were undecided, Ouyang Ting rolled up the class roster in her hand and tapped it in her palm.

"The rest of the people have been decided today. As for the class monitor, everyone should think about it when you get home, and we'll vote on it at the next class meeting."

After the class meeting, Zhang Jian followed Xu Chaoyang.

"Third brother, you're the most honest one. All that talk about belonging that Xu Nuonuo talks about sounds so unrealistic to me."

"Xu Chaoyang, wait a moment."

At this moment, Xu Nuonuo walked up from behind. She had obviously heard what Zhang Jian said, and she glared at him.

Zhang Jian chuckled and scratched his head. Xu Nuonuo didn't argue with him, but instead looked at Xu Chaoyang.

"We'll compete fairly; you're not allowed to use any underhanded tactics."

She thought that Zhang Jian's words were deliberately instigated by Xu Chaoyang.

Xu Chaoyang glanced down at her. This girl was quite cute when she got serious. Her face had changed just now when she was standing below the podium, but now she was smiling and coming up to declare war.

"No problem, it doesn't matter who wins, it won't affect the team's friendship."

Xu Nuonuo was somewhat surprised by this attitude. She hadn't expected Xu Chaoyang to be so amiable. However, she thought it was good that way, as a gentle person posed no threat to her.

After Xu Nuonuo left, Zhang Jian glanced at his watch, and his expression suddenly changed.

"Damn, it's almost six o'clock! Third brother, I'm off!"

He was going to see He Lu that night, and being late for their first date was a death sentence for him.

Xu Chaoyang shook his head at his impatient look, then decided to go to the library. He had a plan in mind, but he needed to secure a work-study position there first.

Upon arriving at the library, Xu Chaoyang went directly to the librarian, a retired faculty member surnamed Wu, who was in his early sixties and wore reading glasses.

When he knocked on the door and went in, Old Wu was organizing the library cards. He glanced at him before handing over the registration form.

Upon seeing the message Xu Chaoyang wrote, Old Wu asked curiously, "From Wenzhou?"

"Yes, Longwan District."

"Vancouver is a great place, lots of business people there. Do you know anyone in the finance department?"

"No, I decided to sign up myself. If it's through an acquaintance... well, you are one now."

Old Wu was taken aback at first, then laughed and took out a bunch of keys from the drawer.

"Your shift is from 2 PM to 6 PM every weekend. Someone will be there to mentor you. If you do well, you can continue next semester."

"Oh, thank you, Teacher Wu."

Xu Chaoyang took out his key and strolled around the library. He walked along the aisles between the bookshelves, where the air was filled with the aroma of old books and wood.

As he reached the corner of the literature section, he saw a slightly surprised face and stopped.

Unexpectedly, I ran into Ning Qiushuang, Ke Xin's roommate and the goddess of room 402, at this time.

She was standing between two rows of bookshelves, holding a novel in her hand, but her gaze was clearly not on the book.

Ning Qiushuang's gaze kept drifting behind her, and her expression was somewhat strange, as if she was troubled by some problem.

Xu Chaoyang looked over and saw a boy standing at the other end of the bookshelf, his eyes fixed on Ning Qiushuang.

He stood there motionless, as if rooted to the spot, but the conflict on his face betrayed him; he clearly wanted to approach her, but couldn't muster the courage.

Instead, he made himself look a bit like a stalker.

Xu Chaoyang leaned against the bookshelf, watching the fun, thinking to himself, "Brother, you're going to scare the girls like this."

Ning Qiushuang also saw Xu Chaoyang at this moment. A brief look of surprise flashed across her face, then her eyelashes fluttered, and she walked straight towards him.

Under Xu Chaoyang's surprised gaze, she reached out and took his arm.

"Have you been waiting long? Let's go."

The sound was just loud enough for the boy on the other side of the bookshelf to hear, and his expression visibly changed.

His gaze swept back and forth between the two men before finally settling on Xu Chaoyang. He sighed, turned, and walked away, his back view appearing somewhat forlorn.

Ning Qiushuang then released her grip and took half a step back.

Xu Chaoyang realized he was being used as a shield, and crossed his arms: "Hey, you have to pay me to perform for you."

Ning Qiushuang giggled: "Okay, I'll treat you to lunch this afternoon, at the second-floor stir-fry restaurant."

"You think you can just give me the cafeteria stir-fry?"

"What would you like to eat?"

"At least add a chicken leg."

"make a deal."

The two chatted and laughed for a while before choosing a seat by the window.

Xu Chaoyang asked, "How can you be so sure that boy will leave?"

"If he doesn't leave, I'll tell him you're a third-degree black belt in Sanda (Chinese kickboxing)."

Ning Qiushuang stared at the boy opposite her for a while, then suddenly asked, "What are you doing in the library? Didn't any girls ask you out?"

Xu Chaoyang shrugged: "Weren't you here too? Logically speaking, you should get even more guys asking you out."

Ning Qiushuang waved the novel in her hand. "This is my biggest hobby. You might not believe it, but I came here because I heard that the newly built library at Zhejiang University is very impressive."

Xu Chaoyang answered honestly, "I'm here to apply for a job. I just got the key to the duty room."

Ning Qiushuang paused for a moment as she turned the pages of her book. She had assumed that Xu Chaoyang came from a well-off family, since he had a cell phone and dressed quite fashionably.

I never thought I'd need to rely on this to earn tuition fees?
