"Okay, let's end the get out of class first. We'll continue tomorrow. We'll ask Teacher Meng to speak slower tomorrow." Xu Jianlin stood up and signaled everyone to go back.

The classmates also stood up and packed their stationery and books to go back to the dormitory. Chenxi ran over first: "Xiaomeng, I'm sorry..."

"Huh? Why do you need to apologize..." I was confused.

"Are you tired?"

"A little bit. I didn't prepare well for the lessons during the day, and I didn't teach well at night."

"No, I think you could have gone to the dormitory to rest, but now you have to stay and tutor everyone. I always feel like I am the instigator." Chenxi lowered his head, looking a little self-blaming.

"Oh, what did I think you were doing?" I smiled, turned around and pulled Tang Xin over to the side, "Even if I don't teach you, I still have to teach her!"

"Hey." Tang Xin smiled foolishly and hugged my hands.

"Okay, I'll treat you to ice cream!" Chenxi thought about it, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly shouted.

"Hey, it's so late, isn't it a bad idea?" Although I really wanted to eat, I was worried that I would get an upset stomach if I ate so late.

"What's the matter? I want to eat too." Tang Xin also agreed.

"Fine…"

So, five minutes later, the three of us walked out of the canteen shoulder to shoulder, each holding an ice cream cone in his hand.

"Ah, I'm going to go buy some instant noodles. I'm hungry." Tang Xin turned around and walked back. "You two wait for me."

"Okay." I looked at her helplessly and nodded.

Seeing Tang Xin enter the store, Chenxi turned to me and said, "You really dote on her."

“It’s not the first time you’ve known this.” I spread my hands.

"Have you confessed your love?"

"No."

"Then do you know the latest rumors?" Chenxi tilted his head and looked at me.

"Rumors?"

"Yes, in the class and on the school forum, there are people who suspect that you and Tang Xin are..."

"At what?"

"Lesbian, they suspect your sexual orientation!"

"Is that so..." I felt a little nervous. What would happen if Tang Xin knew about this? "They don't have any evidence."

"What evidence do you need? Isn't it obvious enough?" Chen Xi held his forehead with his hand. "No matter how close you are to other students, it's just tutoring and helping them. Look at you and Tang Xin, you two can't wait to be together every day. What do you think?"

"It's not a big deal for girls to be a little intimate with each other, and it's not just us," I argued.

"I didn't expect you to be like this..." Chenxi shook her head. "If you ask me, you should confess your feelings to Tang Xin as soon as possible. If she rejects you, you should give up as soon as possible, so as not to fall in love too deeply and end up hurting yourself."

I was speechless for a moment, pressing my lower lip, not knowing how to answer.

"I'm back. Hey, Xiaomeng, why do you look worse again?" Tang Xin came back with a large plastic bag of instant noodles.

"It's okay, maybe I'm a little tired."

Tang Xin wanted to hold my hand, but I subconsciously took the plastic bag she was holding. Tang Xin was stunned, then smiled sweetly: "Xiao Meng, thank you."

I didn't dare look into her eyes, and answered with my head down: "It's okay, it's so heavy that I was worried you couldn't lift it."

Chen Xi on the side sighed softly: "Eat the ice cream quickly, it won't taste good if it melts."

"Yeah, it is." Because I hid it well, Tang Xin didn't notice anything unusual, and she continued to lick the ice cream cone happily.

I stared at her nimble tongue in a daze, and the strawberry ice cream in my mouth tasted a little sour.

Chapter 121: Teacher Song is Back

Half a month later, the monthly exam came. This monthly exam was different from the ordinary exams that each class managed separately. It was a joint exam for the whole school, so all classes took it very seriously. Except for our class, because Teacher Song was on sick leave, the acting head teacher Teacher Qiu could not manage it at all. The students in the class began to be more lawless. Chatting, reading novels and playing with mobile phones during evening self-study became commonplace.

"Quiet!" Because there was no substitute teacher to manage the evening study, the class monitor Xu Jianlin sat on the podium and shouted at everyone.

Although it was full of energy and the effect was immediate, the whole class quieted down. Unfortunately, it only worked for five minutes. After five minutes, the sparse chatter in the class started again.

"Li Xiaomeng, please help take care of it too." Xu Jianlin walked to my desk with a worried look on his face.

"Of course I can, but you know what I'm doing when it comes to discipline. My classmates don't really listen to me." I was a little embarrassed. After all, I had been speaking too politely before and didn't establish any authority at all.

"Then why don't you go to the podium and tell everyone the importance of this exam?" Tang Xin suggested.

"I think it's okay." Xu Jianlin nodded.

"Shenzhouxing, you are great." I sighed and walked towards the podium.

"Quiet down." I patted the desk, and the students immediately quieted down.

"The monthly exam will be next Monday. I wonder how everyone is reviewing? Have you figured out the questions you didn't understand? Have you mastered the knowledge points? Have you memorized the text?" I threw a few questions to everyone.

No one answered, so I continued to ask, "Teacher Song is not here. What kind of results do you plan to give her? Will it be a surprise or a shock? Do you think Teacher Song will be disappointed?"

After that, I walked down from the podium and returned to my seat. Tang Xin gave me a thumbs up, and I gave her a proud expression in return.

Although I didn't say much in my speech, the effect was outstanding. Until the end of the get out of class, not many people were absent from their studies and the learning atmosphere in the class improved a lot. After class, according to the management, we had to have physics tutoring. However, more people came to today's tutoring, and more than 30 people stayed, which was unprecedented.

Standing on the podium, I said helplessly: "If you cram at the last minute, the effect will not be good. You can only study more seriously when you go home on the weekends."

However, I don’t know how many students really understood what I said. It is very likely that most of them are only intermittently enthusiastic but lack continuous motivation.

This guess was finally confirmed. After the monthly exams on Monday and Tuesday of the second week, the hot results came out on Wednesday night. As expected, the average score of the last among the three experimental classes was even caught up by the two parallel classes.

I was a little disappointed when I got the report card, because the half-month physics tutoring had basically no effect, and the average score of the whole class in physics dropped by a full 20 points. The decline in grades was so serious that it was shocking.

"Xiao Meng...you look a little unhappy." Tang Xin came over and said to me.

"Yeah, half a month of tutoring doesn't seem to be of any use." I rubbed my forehead and felt a headache. "It feels like all the efforts I've made over the past few days have been wasted. I want to help but I can't do anything."

"No! Xiaomeng has worked very hard." Tang Xin comforted her, "Look, I did pretty well in the exam, didn't I?"

"Alas, it's useless if only a few people do well in the exam." I shook my head. "Look, Chenxi didn't do very well in the exam. Bai Xilu and Zhang Xueyan's performance was also average. Although Jiang Yu is okay, look at Liu Li's results. He is about to fail."

"If you ask me, Xiaomeng, you should stop worrying." Tang Xin sighed, "You have done enough. It's hard to find such a dedicated class leader. Instead of making yourself feel upset, you should be more open-minded and pray that Teacher Song will come back soon."

-

Tang Xin's words really have magical predictive power. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Teacher Song walking into the classroom with a cane the next day. As she walked into the classroom, almost all the students cheered. Seeing this, Teacher Song was also a little surprised and blushed.

"I have received your warm welcome, students, but I have also seen your monthly test results." Teacher Song limped to the podium, took out a chair and sat on it.

The whole class was silent.

"Not only physics, but the grades in other subjects have all dropped. Is it because he was not well behaved when I was away? Did he not listen to Teacher Qiu?" Teacher Song asked everyone with a smile. She didn't seem to be very angry.

"No one can understand what Teacher Qiu is teaching in class!" Someone said this in a neither loud nor soft voice from under the podium.

Teacher Song's smile froze on her face: "Do all the students think so?"

Everyone looked at each other, confirmed for a while, and nodded.

"But, do you know that Mr. Qiu has produced provincial top scorers in the college entrance examination for five consecutive years?" Mr. Song said seriously, "Instead of blaming the problem on the teacher, it is better to think about whether there is a problem with yourself. Is it because I am not mentally relaxed? I am not disciplined, I don't do my homework seriously, and I don't study hard in my self-study classes?"

Faced with Teacher Song’s soul-searching questioning, the students lowered their heads again.

"Pfft..." Teacher Song suddenly couldn't hold back his laughter, holding his stomach and laughing. For a moment, the students were a little confused, not knowing what Teacher Song was up to.

"Hahaha... That's so funny. Your reactions... Haha." Teacher Song finally calmed down after laughing for a long time. "In fact, the decline in grades this time was within my expectations. Even if Teacher Qiu teaches well, it is unlikely that you will get used to completely different teaching methods in half a month. In addition, the acting head teacher has to take care of his own class in addition to you. He must be too busy. I think it's good enough to maintain the current level. And this time it's also my fault. Isn't it a bit too much for me to blame everyone again?"

After hearing this, the students were a little surprised. It turned out that they were on the second layer, while Teacher Song was in the atmosphere.

"Don't you have the confidence to catch up in the next monthly exam? And return to the championship throne?" Teacher Song asked us.

"Yes!" the whole class shouted out loudly.

As expected, there is still a big gap between people. Teacher Song did not blame everyone, but instead showed sympathy and stood on the same front with the students, which narrowed the distance between teachers and students. This kind of encouragement is also unheard of. I suddenly understand why Teacher Song's academic performance was so good back then, and he was appreciated by the leaders as soon as he arrived at the school and directly served as the class teacher.

Chapter 122 Trouble

"Li Xiaomeng! Come out for a moment~" During the noon self-study period, Teacher Ma suddenly appeared at the door of our classroom.

I was so confused that he called me out of the classroom, "What's wrong, Teacher Ma?"

"Student Li Xiaomeng, due to your outstanding performance in school, the school recommends you to be the president of the student union. I came to ask for your opinion." Teacher Ma said excitedly, "This is a rare opportunity. It will be of great help to your future college career."

"Eh, I'm the president of the student union?" I couldn't wrap my head around it, and to be honest, I wasn't really interested. Being a study committee member is already busy enough for me, and being the president of the student union would be annoying.

Perhaps noticing the change in my expression, Teacher Ma quickly added, "The student union president doesn't actually have any extra burdens. It's mostly just an honorary title. At most, you'll be asked to give a speech under the national flag during certain special time periods."

"Is that so? What is Teacher Song's opinion?" I asked puzzledly.

"It was she who recommended you! She gave us a detailed report on your performance in class, which was a perfect match for the position of Student Union President. And you don't have to worry too much, you only need to hold the position for one academic year, and when you are a senior, you can step down and hand it over to the new sophomores."

"Is that so?" It was actually Teacher Song's opinion. I also knew that she was really doing this for my own good. In that case, I had no choice but to bite the bullet again. "Okay then? What do you need me to do next?"

"Well, there will be a senior student from the senior year handing over to you at the flag-raising ceremony next Monday. You just need to prepare an inaugural speech." Teacher Ma patted my shoulder and said, "Do a good job. I have confidence in you."

Back in the classroom, Tang Xin came over and asked, "What does Director Ma want to talk to you about again? Have you done something wrong again?"

I tapped her forehead gently: "You've known me for so long, do you think I'm someone who often gets into trouble?"

"It's true, I'm just a little worried." Tang Xin replied with a smile.

"Teacher Ma asked me to be the president of the student union."

"Huh?! Student Union President?" Tang Xin got excited when she heard it. "Really? I've seen student union presidents on TV before and they were so powerful. They had a lot of power and were admired by everyone. So cool!"

"You've watched too many youth idol dramas." I rubbed my forehead. "In our school, it's just an honorary title at best. To say that I'm the teacher's puppet is a bit of an exaggeration for this position.

"Ah? Is that so? That's boring." Tang Xin suddenly lost interest.

"What on earth are you expecting?"

By Friday, the news that I was elected as the president of the Student Union had spread throughout the class. Most of my classmates sent me sincere congratulations, except for the class monitor Xu Jianlin. After hearing that I was elected as the president of the Student Union, he became a little depressed and gradually lost his previous fighting spirit in class affairs.
