“Little Sweetheart, Teacher Huo is right, I support you being the class monitor!”
As soon as Zhao Hongmei said this, Chu Yue, who was nearby and eager for trouble, immediately chimed in, expressing her strong support.
The reason was quite compelling: Su Xiaotian was undeniably the top student in the class.
With these two girls taking the lead, quite a few others voiced their agreement.
Su Xiaotian was speechless. What were they thinking?
Were they picking on the smallest one?
She was still a baby!
A thirteen-year-old baby!
Thinking that the culprit behind all this was Huo Sinian, Su Xiaotian couldn't help but cast a resentful glance his way.
Huo Sinian looked at Su Xiaotian's expression and was quite perplexed.
Had he said something wrong?
This was what other teachers had told him when he consulted them.
If the atmosphere was awkward and no one volunteered to be a class cadre, one could nominate the student with the best grades.
He hadn't carefully reviewed the grades of their class, but he knew that Su Xiaotian was the top student.
Or, was this class full of hidden talents, with students whose grades were even better than Su Xiaotian's, whom he had overlooked?
At this point, Huo Sinian was completely out of sync with Su Xiaotian.
The two of them were thinking about entirely different things.
Seeing Huo Sinian’s blank expression, Su Xiaotian felt that her gaze had been wasted.
This teacher clearly didn't understand where she had fallen short.
“Teacher Huo, you can’t just favor Su Xiaotian because she’s your future sister-in-law.”
Just then, someone spoke up in opposition.
The speaker was a girl of seventeen or eighteen, with long black hair tied in a ponytail, wearing a stylish white tracksuit, exuding youthful vitality.
Hearing someone voice an objection, Su Xiaotian instantly smiled.
This was more like it!
They didn't even know to look out for her, a little sprout. What were Zhao Hongmei and the others thinking!
After saying this, the girl triumphantly turned to Su Xiaotian and flashed a smug smile.
However, she didn't expect Su Xiaotian, whom she had singled out, to smile even more wantonly than she did.
Instantly, the smile on the face of this girl, named Tang Minmin, faded.
What did Su Xiaotian mean by this?
Couldn't she tell that she was provoking her?
Or was this also her proud smile?
“Hello, classmate. If you think Su Xiaotian is not suitable to be a class cadre, you can nominate someone else, but you cannot slander the teacher!” Huo Sinian said with a faint smile, but his eyes did not reach his smile.
This girl, who spoke to hurt others, was not usually favored by teachers.
Especially since she had questioned Huo Sinian's character, which made him like her even less.
Teacher Huo thought to himself, should he pretend not to see her?
Earlier, this female student had looked at him with the most fervent gaze, and when she learned he had a girlfriend, she remained unwilling!
“Teacher Huo, my name is Tang Minmin, I am eighteen years old, and I am one of the top three students in this class!”
Tang Minmin had initially intended to say that she was the best student in the class, as she had been praised as such since childhood.
Her grades were indeed good enough; even in this class, she was ranked second, just behind the detestable Su Xiaotian.
Thinking of a person who was younger than her and also had better grades made Tang Minmin’s pride feel extremely uncomfortable.
Moreover, since this girl was the future sister-in-law of the person she liked, Tang Minmin found Su Xiaotian even more displeasing to the eye.
Yin Ruyun, sitting at the very front with a pure and lovely demeanor, had a faint glimmer in her eyes.
As expected, there was someone else in this class who disliked Su Xiaotian as much as she did. She wondered if they could form an alliance in the future.
Su Xiaotian was unaware of these thoughts; she was happy that someone was actively volunteering to be the class monitor.
However, what was this "one of the top three students" situation?
“Shameless. This Tang Minmin is third in our class, only 0.5 points behind Li Yongle, who is second. Her grades are not worth bragging about!”
Chu Yue, who had already gotten a good grasp of the class situation, immediately said with disdain.
She was only third, and her grades were more than ten points lower than Xiaotian's. How dare she compare herself to Xiaotian!
“Do you know her?”
“No, but I’ve heard the name!”
At first, she thought that the top three students in this class were all girls, and perhaps the girls in this class could outperform the boys.
She hadn't expected this third-place student to be so brainless, simply saying she was the third in the class would have sufficed!
As Chu Yue thought this, she indeed heard Zhao Hongmei complain.
“Just saying she’s third in the class would have been enough!”
Instantly, Chu Yue felt that Zhao Hongmei was her soulmate!
“Classmate Tang Minmin, right? I know you. If you are interested in running for a class cadre position, you can give an impromptu speech, and then the classmates will vote.” Huo Sinian said indifferently.
As a teacher, even though he already disliked Tang Minmin immensely, he still had to express his opinion.
Tang Minmin, to her credit, cleared her throat upon hearing Huo Sinian’s words and began her impromptu speech.
She was articulate and spoke with considerable persuasive power, portraying herself quite favorably.
Of course, this was assuming that she didn't subtly provoke Su Xiaotian or compare Su Xiaotian to someone like Fang Zhongyong. In that case, the effect might have been better.
Su Xiaotian was initially listening attentively to Tang Minmin’s words, but she didn't expect this classmate to be so dishonorable, subtly provoking her.
She wasn't her competitor, so why was this necessary?
Zhao Hongmei couldn't stand it anymore and gritted her teeth, saying in a low voice, “Xiaotian, people fight for a breath of pride, and Buddha receives incense. Even if it’s not to be the class monitor, just to suppress Tang Minmin’s arrogance, you can’t back down.”
“Xiaotian, if you don’t dare to compete, I look down on you!” Chu Yue also chimed in.
Su Xiaotian: “……”
What if this baby didn’t want to compete?
“Su Xiaotian, you are the top student, that’s true, but I believe that in the upcoming midterm exams, I will surpass you, and I can also surpass you in the current class cadre election!”
Su Xiaotian really didn't want to compete with anyone.
However, the other party was practically pointing at her nose and scolding her. If Su Xiaotian could still tolerate this, she wouldn't be Su Xiaotian anymore.
“I accept your challenge!” Su Xiaotian said calmly, without even giving Tang Minmin an extra glance.
She stood up gracefully, bowed to the entire class, and then began to speak.
“I am thirteen years old this year. I did not get into university through plagiarism or any other means, as classmate Tang Minmin implied. In fact, I have been skipping grades, and my current regular grades are on record at Qizhong.”
Su Xiaotian first addressed the doubts in Tang Minmin’s words, and then said, “Classmate Tang Minmin called me Fang Zhongyong, and I do not agree with this!”
Tang Minmin had initially thought that a student who could attend university at thirteen must be a bookworm.
However, she hadn't expected that when Su Xiaotian spoke, her aura was so powerful that she couldn't help but want to lower her head.
