Chapter 9 The First Clash in the Girls' Dormitory
The first thing Class Monitor Chen did after taking office was to send a notice in the class group chat.
"@All members, those who do not wish to order textbooks, please message me privately."
Chen Che decisively clicked on Chen Sui's profile picture.
"Class monitor, I'm not ordering."
"OK."
Chen Che's reason for not ordering textbooks is simple: he doesn't have a mental obsession with cleanliness, and choosing to spend some time finding second-hand ones can save him at least half the money.
Not to mention that some professional course textbooks are compiled by the college's own teachers, and the student publishing house profits from both ends while selling them at exorbitant prices.
For general courses like advanced mathematics, the secondhand textbooks you buy are often spotless, with not even a crease on the corner.
If you buy one with marks on it, then congratulations! You don't even need to take notes in class anymore. After all, college students are past the age of being childish and won't try to mold Du Fu into whatever they want with a pen.
A few days later, the counselor notified Chen Sui to take the students in the class to Renzhi Building to move the textbooks.
Chen Sui first sent a notice in the class group, and then contacted Bai Mu, the secretary of the Youth League branch, asking him to call the boys in the dormitory to gather at the classroom door. Bai Mu readily agreed.
Then she looked around the dormitory and found that there were five girls, including herself, in the dormitory.
Their family's educational philosophy is to be self-reliant and self-strengthening, to rely on oneself first, to lead by example, and not to just tell others what to do.
Chen Sui smiled and said, "Everyone, let's go to Renzhi Building and move some textbooks."
Then put the slippers aside, put on the sneakers, and started tying the shoelaces.
"Move textbooks? What are we going to do there?" Guo Mei, who was watching a TV series on her iPad, asked in bewilderment.
"Let's go move the textbooks too." Chen Sui was taken aback, just as confused as Guo Mei for asking this question.
"Why not just let the boys go? Besides, we have so many boys in our class," Guo Mei said matter-of-factly, still wearing her pajamas and showing no sign of preparing to leave.
"In the past, it was always the boys who carried the textbooks."
Upon hearing this, Chen Sui became unhappy: "We should just get our own textbooks ourselves. Why should the boys do it for us? It's not their obligation."
"I couldn't control what happened before, but now I think that kind of thinking is wrong," Chen Sui said seriously.
"Everyone, change your clothes and shoes. The boys will be waiting for us soon," Chen Sui urged again.
"Sigh," Guo Mei was also put in a difficult position by Chen Sui's stubbornness. She didn't want to make the atmosphere in the dormitory too tense from the beginning, since they were going to spend four years together.
So he conceded and said, "Okay, I'll find a boy to help me carry my textbooks, and I won't go. Is that alright?"
There were plenty of boys in the class eager to fawn over Guo Mei. If she just casually spoke to any of them, there was a 99% chance she wouldn't be rejected. Then, if she simply said thank you, they would think it was a good opportunity to talk to her.
Before Chen Sui could even speak, Guo Mei said to her, "I've already found it, you can go by yourself."
Several other girls followed suit. Although they weren't as eye-catching as Guo Mei, they could still ask a boy they could talk to for help without being refused.
After all, the quality education is quite in place, and boys naturally feel that girls are weak and they should provide help.
After all that trouble, in the end only Chen Sui needed to go.
Guo Meiyi then advised, "Why don't you find a boy to take your textbooks first?"
Chen Sui couldn't help but picture Chen Che's image in her mind, but it quickly faded away.
It has nothing to do with who it is; I just don't want someone else to do it for me.
So he left the dormitory without saying a word.
Guo Mei glanced at Chen Sui's seat and suddenly felt that their future dormitory life might not be as harmonious as she had imagined.
I was reminded of Chen Sui's speech when she ran for class monitor; wasn't that just a formality?
Ugh, what a hassle.
…………
When Chen Sui arrived at the classroom door, Bai Mu and the boys had already been waiting there for a while.
Upon seeing Chen Sui approach, Bai Mu immediately greeted her warmly: "Class monitor, I've called all the boys in the dorm over."
"Okay, thank you." Chen Sui nodded, glancing around the crowd. She didn't see Chen Che and felt a little disappointed.
"Actually, you could have just told me, and I would have brought the textbooks for you. You wouldn't have had to come all the way here yourself." Bai Mu tried to get closer to him.
Chen Sui shook her head: "I'm the class monitor, so it's better for me to set an example. I'll get it myself when I have time; there's no need for others to do it for me."
Doing things for oneself is a lesson learned from childhood.
The matter itself is not complicated. It's just a matter of going into the classroom in class order, checking the quantity on the textbook order form with the teacher, and then taking the textbooks according to the quantity.
At this moment, Chen Sui realized that Chen Che was the only one in the class who hadn't ordered textbooks.
So that's why he didn't come?
Or is there something else going on?
Or is it just that you want to do something to attract attention?
Who knows?
Every class needs someone who stands out, and the bad news is that in Chen Sui's mind, that seat currently belongs to Chen Che.
The worse news is that Chen Che's image is still negative.
Even though the counselor had clearly stated that evening self-study sessions would be held regularly from Monday to Friday before National Day, Chen Che consistently failed to attend, even without a valid reason.
Once or twice, but not a third time.
What you do is not important, what matters is that you get it.
The counselor also said they would conduct random checks, but I haven't seen him yet tonight.
However, as the class monitor, I always have to implement and supervise the college's requirements.
On the way back to the dormitory, Chen Sui took the initiative to say a few words to Bai Mu.
"Um, Bai Mu."
"What is it?" Chen Sui had something to tell him, and Bai Mu immediately put on a serious listening posture.
"We have evening self-study sessions now. All the girls come, but some of the boys are always absent, and they're absent without any reason. I think you should pay attention to this."
Bai Mu was taken aback, not expecting it to be like this: "How should we pay attention to this? We're all adults. Although it's expected that they'll come, we can't force them to.
"As the class's Youth League secretary, you represent the organization in the class. If any student has a skewed mindset, you have an obligation to talk to them and correct them," Chen Sui said earnestly.
"Uh..." Bai Mu hadn't considered this at all. He simply felt that he had to form a class committee. If you're the class monitor, then I'll be the Youth League secretary. These two positions are a perfect match.
"I'll try my best," Bai Mu said reluctantly.
After finishing her sentence, Chen Sui didn't say anything more, thinking to herself that if Chen Che was absent again that night, she would definitely have to have a serious talk with him.
