The next week's class meeting arrived. Teacher Xu had Shi Kai write a few class committee members and the names of those running for election on the blackboard. White paper was distributed, with options. Wang Muman found the options a bit difficult as there were many she didn't understand. She decided to vote for whoever looked familiar. Shi Kai and Zhou Mingyu were in the front, writing characters, seeing who got more votes. The results were out: Shi Kai remained class president, Yan Cheng vice-president, Zhou Mingyu sports representative, Li Wei labor representative, and Zhang Jiayi became the cultural representative. There were a few others she didn't recognize. Wang Muman thought it was surprising that Zhang Jiayi was the cultural representative, as she had never mentioned it in the dorm. "Alright, the elections are over. In two weeks, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the school will hold a Mid-Autumn Festival party the night before the holiday. Anyone with talents can sign up with Zhang Jiayi. The deadline is Friday, and there will be an audition next Monday. We hope everyone will participate enthusiastically."
After dinner, He Lele pulled Wang Muman along to sign up. "Jiayi Yi, Wang Muman wants to dance." He Lele sat directly in front of Zhang Jiayi. "Okay, what's the name of the dance?" Wang Muman, thinking she wouldn't have much chance to practice, reported the dance she knew best. "Manman, you're learning ballet? That makes sense, with your tall figure and elegant demeanor." "I learned it as a child, and now I teach myself." "Self-taught, that's amazing. Manman, I feel like a complete novice next to you; I don't know how to do anything." He Lele looked at herself. "You just haven't found what you truly want." "I just want to eat, drink, have fun, and look at handsome guys." He Lele scratched her head. "Haha, you'll have that in the future." "I want to go to the audition to see if there are any handsome guys in other classes. Hehe, I'll be your agent." He Lele's thoughts were beautifully optimistic; it was good that she was so simple.
During evening study, the two were diligently doing their homework. As they were in their first year of high school, they had to study nine subjects, and the combined workload was considerable. "Everyone, please put your pens down for a moment. This will only take five minutes. Next month, there will be a sports meet and a basketball competition. I know it's a bit early to say, but considering the cheerleading practice, anyone interested in participating in these competitions or the cheerleading squad should sign up with me. There are generous prizes and certificates." Zhou Mingyu finished speaking from the podium and returned to his seat.
"There are many activities recently. It's your first year of high school, seize the opportunity, seize your youth! You won't have time for this later," Teacher Xu continued from the back. "Alright, continue writing." Teacher Xu thought about how he had only focused on studying in his youth and neglected his youth, feeling some regret. Therefore, he wanted to encourage his students to cherish their youth.
After evening study, He Lele linked arms with Wang Muman and said, "Manman, why don't we join the cheerleading squad? Since you can dance, I'll just tag along. For the sports meet, I'll just participate in the 50-meter dash, hehe, it's simple." "Okay, I'll sign up for the longest one, the 800 meters. I know there will probably be few people signing up." Wang Muman thought it would be like junior high. "Manman, can you really run that far?" He Lele was astonished. "Of course, I ran that far in junior high and got pretty good results." "Manman, you're really well-rounded! I can only say that apart from social anxiety, you have no flaws." He Lele really wanted to know how to cultivate someone as well-rounded as her. "It's all childhood interests; I just like them."
