It was time for lunch, and He Lele pulled Wang Muman along. "Manman, I have to eat that grilled sausage today. I've been thinking about it for days. Manman, hurry up, we have to fight the seniors for it." Wang Muman was pulled forward, fortunate not to be wearing a skirt with her school uniform. Looking at the grilled sausage in her hand, Wang Muman was momentarily stunned. "Here, for you. Taste how delicious it is." He Lele had already started biting into it impatiently. Indeed, anything with meat was delicious, and this was a great delicacy. "Manman, are you good at English? Is it particularly outstanding?" He Lele remembered the matter of the English class representative. "I'm pretty balanced, perhaps nothing stands out." Wang Muman thought about her middle school entrance exam results. "For me, it doesn't matter what representative I am." "I just like doing nothing, I like freedom." After finishing the grilled sausage, He Lele began to feast on her chicken cutlet rice. Watching He Lele still devouring her food, Wang Muman wanted to stop her but didn't know where to begin. It was as if she hadn't eaten in days.
"Xiao Chengzi, this is for you. Get some extra calcium," Zhou Mingyu placed a pack of milk on his desk. "Why so kind? Is something up?" Yan Cheng ate his meal and looked up at him. "I want... I want you to help me play a basketball game." Zhou Mingyu said shyly. "What's wrong?" "A senior asked me to play basketball. If I win, he'll give me a collectible Transformers. I know my skills aren't as good as yours; you're the main player on the basketball team. Help me out, big brother. I'll bring you milk every day from now on so you can grow taller!" Zhou Mingyu loved Transformers and cherished them dearly. Almost all the New Year's money he received was spent on them. "Agreed." "After school tonight, on the basketball court. I'll call you then."
"Wang Muman, right? Li Wei was just here. I'm mainly here to talk about assigning homework, which is distributing tasks. It mainly involves collecting and distributing assignments and addressing homework questions. Since the office is quite far from the classroom, it's a bit tiring. Li Wei just said he would discuss it with you later. You can arrange it by week or by day, or you can distribute the assignments and he can collect them, etc. You need to discuss these things with him, okay? That's all. You can go back now." Teacher Li finished giving instructions and let Wang Muman leave.
"Classmate Wang Muman, Teacher Li should have told you just now. For collecting and distributing assignments, you can handle that. I'll transport assignments to and from the office. For homework questions, I'll handle Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and you can handle Tuesday and Thursday, okay?" Li Wei said as soon as Wang Muman returned. "Just call me by my name, no need for 'classmate.' Will it be too much work for you? Don't worry about gender." Wang Muman thought about how far the English office was and that she could carry assignments herself. "Then I'll mainly move the assignments. If you have time, you can join me." "Okay, okay." Li Wei asked and then turned back to his book.
The lunchtime period consisted of an hour of nap followed by half an hour of math tutoring. The summer heat had not yet dissipated, and the cicadas outside continued to chirp, the leaves rustling. The classroom was dim, with only occasional sounds of shifting bodies. Wang Muman couldn't sleep, and lying on the desk felt uncomfortable, but she liked the feeling of having people around her. She closed her eyes. Drowsily, she heard the bell ring. Wang Muman opened her eyes to the sound of yawning all around. Teacher Xu had already appeared at the door. "Everyone wake up. Take out your small practice books and do the first page. Put them away after class. Oh, the first two students in each group will be group leaders. After collecting the assignments, hand them to the class representative. Everyone has to submit them." Zhou Lele grumbled softly, and Wang Muman whispered, "He won't ask me."
