Chapter 121 -118: Bought as Insoles (Second Update)

On one side, Tang An made a final decision and directly settled on the candidate for acting class leader.

Meanwhile, in Computer Science Class Two, Chi Zuo was using the phrase “How can one sweep the world clean if one cannot even clean one’s own house?” to justify his reasoning. Based on this saying, he launched into an elaborate speech, referencing ancient poetry, citing examples of great figures, one complete set after another…

For a moment, the students of Computer Science Class Two felt as if they had wandered into the Department of Chinese Studies.

They even wondered if Chi Zuo had minored in Chinese Language and Literature?

In the end, Chi Zuo asked, “So, I propose Jiang Yan as our temporary acting class leader. Nobody has any objections, right?”

“None!”

The response was unified and resounding, as if they were utterly satisfied with Jiang Yan.

Chi Zuo was quite pleased as well. It was his first year as a counselor, and he felt the freshmen were easy to manage.

Even Liu Wenhui, whom he initially perceived as a troublemaker, was surprisingly quiet and didn’t raise his hand to express any dissent.

After that, he talked about precautions for the next day’s military training and then asked Jiang Yan to stay behind. Once that was done, the meeting was adjourned.

Little did he know, their class was the last one to leave the Computer Science building, with the others having already returned to the dorms half an hour earlier.

So by the time things wrapped up for Jiang Yan, it was nearly six o’clock and time for dinner.

As he exited the building, he was surprised to see Tian Xiaohui and Dai Lei sitting idly on a bench by the roadside downstairs.

Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow, not expecting that the two would wait for him.

In fact, since starting school, he had advised Song Jiawen to interact more with her roommates and be on good terms with them, so staying in the dorm would be more comfortable.

But when it came to himself, he became quite nonchalant, adopting an attitude of ‘as long as you don’t bother me, I’ll get along with you. But if someone blindly seeks to provoke me…’ The other night, Liu Wenhui was an example of this.

Speaking of Liu Wenhui, he initially wanted to be the class leader too, but when he heard that the counselor’s preferred candidate was Jiang Yan, he didn’t know what to say.

It just felt… too presumptuous.

Even more presumptuous was the fact that he had just spent over six thousand on a desktop computer at a nearby Computer City that morning, brought it back to the dorm, and was getting someone to install internet cables, when, in an unruffled manner, Jiang Yan pulled out a sleek black laptop from his bag.

Even though he didn’t see the brand, it looked obviously high-end, shiny and black, making him itch with envy.

Tian Xiaohui and Dai Lei were quite envious of his desktop computer at first, but upon seeing Jiang Yan’s laptop, they immediately gathered around it.

What annoyed him even more was that while he was getting someone to install internet cables, Jiang Yan even asked him to have a cable pulled for him too.

Was that a mere matter of pulling a cable?

This was a matter of dignity, right?

Liu Wenhui sulkily arranged for two cables to be installed.

…..

On the other side, after the class meeting of Physics Class One ended, Song Jiawen picked up her books to leave, only to be stopped by Tang An after just a couple of steps.

With a form in his hand, Xue Weisong said to her, “Song Jiawen, register your dormitory’s phone number so it will be easier to contact you in the future if needed.”

Song Jiawen turned and walked over to the podium, took the pen Xue Weisong handed her, and neatly wrote down the number.

Then, she nodded politely to Tang An and turned to leave.

Tang An had a very good impression of Song Jiawen, quiet and polite, and of course, her beautiful and well-behaved appearance was also part of the reason—who doesn’t like beautiful things, after all?

Xue Weisong looked down at the number Song Jiawen had just written, committing it to memory.

Then he started calling others up to write down their numbers.

Sitting in the first row, Xia Shi watched the scene with a sneer in his heart.

When she finished registering her number and came out, he saw Song Jiawen standing at the corner of the corridor near the stairs. She was leaning on one shoulder against the wall, one leg slightly bent, head half-drooped, holding a book in her hand.

She radiated an air of transcendent and solitary beauty.

Even though Xia Shi was not fond of her now, he had to admit Song Jiawen was distractingly beautiful, uniquely so.

At this moment, Liang Yujun and two others came out from their respective classes and the four of them went downstairs.

“Did Xia Shi give you any trouble during the class meeting today?”

Sha Yali glanced back at the stairway entrance and curled her lip, “I just saw her staring at you with such a gloomy face, as if you owed her eight million. What’s with her?”

Song Jiawen said, “She tried to trap me with her words during the class meeting, but I didn’t give her face, so it’s only natural for her to be annoyed.”

Without waiting for the three to ask, Song Jiawen briefly recounted the incident.

In the end, she said, “Teacher Tang already had someone in mind, so no matter how much she jumps around, it’s useless.”

Liang Yujun nodded, “That’s right, our class really has too few girls, there’s no advantage in being the class president.”

Song Jiawen didn’t want to continue on this topic and asked the others, “It’s already five o’clock, do you want to go check out the cafeteria?”

They had sorted out their meal cards that morning, so they could eat at the school.

Ding Yuanyuan suddenly leaned in and whispered, “Military training starts tomorrow, should we buy a few more packs of sanitary pads? Just in case we run out later.”

Song Jiawen was surprised, “What do you mean ‘run out’? Can these actually become scarce?”

“Of course they can, the yellow rubber shoes for military training are too thin. Later on, you can pad them inside; they are even better than shoe insoles. A lot of boys buy them too.”

Boys buy them too?

Aside from Ding Yuanyuan, the other three felt it was quite unbelievable.

However, in the end, they followed Ding Yuanyuan’s advice and each bought four packs of sanitary pads at the school’s mini supermarket.

But when paying, Song Jiawen quickly went back and grabbed two more packs.

At eight-thirty that evening, she called Jiang Yan and asked him to come down.

Because the business license for the repair shop would take a few days to process, Jiang Yan wasn’t going there tonight and was just lying around in the dorm reading.

His computer was being used by Tian Xiaohui and Dai Lei for gaming, while Liu Wenhui occasionally turned his head to take a peek. The game was something he had never seen before, and he was itching to ask where they downloaded it from.

But even though he turned his head so frequently, none of the three of them on the other side bothered to address him.

Can’t they see the obvious?

Liu Wenhui was really annoyed.

It was at this time that Jiang Yan received Song Jiawen’s call.

As he changed his clothes, he muttered to himself that he needed to get a mobile phone soon for convenience, otherwise, he’d have to rely on the dormitory phone… Who could stay in the dorm 24 hours a day?

It didn’t need to be too expensive; a simple, flat phone for a few hundred yuan would do. It was practical and convenient, and many people in the school were using them.

The distance from Dormitory Building 8 for boys to Dormitory Building 4 for girls wasn’t far. With Jiang Yan’s long legs, it took him just five minutes to get there.

After waiting for three more minutes, he saw Song Jiawen come down holding a black bag.

When she reached him, she handed the bag over directly.

“What is this?”

Jiang Yan, puzzled, took the bag and opened it, then froze when he saw what was inside.

“Did you grab the wrong thing?”

He handed the bag back to her, but Song Jiawen didn’t take it and instead said, “It’s for you.”

Seeing his awkward and odd expression, she couldn’t help but laugh and deliberately said, “It’s for you to use.”

Jiang Yan snorted coldly and gently knocked on her forehead, “Explain clearly.”

“Ding Yuanyuan said that you could place them inside the yellow rubber shoes as insoles. That way, standing all day will be more comfortable, and you’ll be less likely to get blisters.”

Use sanitary pads as shoe insoles?

Jiang Yan understood what she meant; he treated military training like a game in his past life and finished it in less than ten days, with none of the boys in the class fussing over such things.

But not having used them didn’t mean he didn’t understand their usefulness… somehow, he was quite looking forward to it.
