Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

Everyone quieted down, because it meant that the opening ceremony was about to begin.

Turning their gaze toward the podium, the Mediterranean-looking principal, microphone in hand, cautiously walked up.

Huh? Aren't you the vice principal? How come you're the first one to speak?

The Mediterranean-looking principal wiped away his cold sweat and then began his speech into the microphone.

"Um... the principal isn't feeling well today, so I, as the vice-principal, am speaking on his behalf."

Just to emphasize, my position is Vice Principal!

Phew~ I can't let Young Master Su Yuzhe mistakenly think that I still want to be the principal. That damned current principal, taking leave at this time. When he becomes the principal of both schools, I'll definitely demote him to the head of the grade!

"Before we officially begin, we must thank the Su family for their investment! Without the Su family, where would we find such a venue where we can roam freely and look to the future? It can be said that..."

Su Yuzhe sat there, looking at the balding man on the stage, muttering, "Looks like he still thinks the position is too high. Maybe he should be demoted to grade head..."

The Mediterranean-style vice principal was still giving his impassioned speech: "Therefore! We must go through a stage of hard work! Alright, I'll stop here for now. Next, please welcome the teacher representative to speak and the referee representative to take the oath."

He stepped off the stage with a satisfied look on his face. Presumably, Young Master Su Yuzhe had seen his abilities this time! The position of principal of both schools was just around the corner!

Next, a young female teacher took the oath on behalf of the teachers and the referee team.

"...Fair judgment, that concludes my oath."

The host walked onto the stage and announced the next agenda item: "Next, please welcome student representative, athlete representative, and student council president, Ouyang Lizhi, to speak!"

Yu Zhe nudged Zi Xiao's arm: "Here it comes, it's time to test the results."

"Hey, when I saw her just now, she said it was fine, but I don't know if she really meant it."

Little Lychee strode onto the stage, but there was obvious tension on her face. She looked around as if she was searching for something.

The students whispered among themselves, seemingly wondering what the student representative was looking for, or if the microphone was broken.

After a long while, Little Lychee still hadn't spoken.

Until they found Yu Zhe, who was sitting in the middle row towards the back.

The tension on her face vanished instantly, and she waved happily and quickly to Yu Zhe from the stage.

"That idiot!!"

Yu Zhe quickly pressed Zi Xiao and Qi Xinye down to avoid the audience's gaze as they followed the direction in which Xiao Lizhi was waving.

Little Lychee realized something was wrong and quickly put her hand down.

She picked up the microphone and began her fluent speech and oath.

No problem, Little Lychee has never felt that she could speak so fluently in front of a crowd.

But today was different. When she saw Brother Yu Zhe, she felt a sense of peace in her heart for some reason.

And it seemed like there was a feast in front of her! As long as she finished her speech, Brother Yuzhe would be sitting across the table waiting for her. With such an opportunity, Little Lychee had forgotten what nervousness was!

"...Upholding the spirit of hard work and abiding by the competition rules, I hereby swear on behalf of the athletes. Ouyang Lizhi, the oath bearer, that's all!"

He spoke without pausing at all, which drew applause from the entire audience.

Leaving aside the initial oddities, this student council president spoke calmly and without any panic, which everyone found truly impressive!

Poor little lychee, she's been the student council president for almost half a year, and everyone is only just finding out that her school has such a student council president.

Relieved, Yu Zhe exclaimed, "Phew~ Indeed, the power of food is great. Ah, it's almost time. I still need to go and lead the team to raise the flag. Sister Zi Xiaoye, you guys just stay here and watch. I'll be back after I finish the 100-meter event."

"Okay! Good luck, brother. Zixiao is waiting here!"

"Xiao Zhe...be sure to be careful, and also, may you achieve great success."

8. Entrances with different art styles

Luo Xiaomeng and her team were already waiting downstairs.

"Honestly! Yu Zhe, you're so slow! Even if you want to be all lovey-dovey with your girlfriend, you can't let it interfere with important business!"

Xiao Meng guessed that Yu Zhe must have taken the opportunity to go on a date with Su Zi Xiao, otherwise why would he have taken so long to arrive?

There were other classmates present who were also going to participate in the competition, so Yu Zhe couldn't very well pat her head; he had to give the class monitor some face.

All I could do was clasp my hands together and apologize, saying, "I'm sorry... Anyway, it's not too late, right?"

As he said this, Yu Zhe even winked his right eye at Xiao Meng, a little gesture that charmed everyone around them.

The Knights of Yuzhe, today was definitely worth it!

Xiao Meng picked up a flag about 1.5 meters long from the side: "That's what they say... Here, take this. You can walk at the front in a bit. We don't need to form any special formations, just walk in an orderly fashion."

After glancing around, Yu Zhe could now clearly see that there were about a dozen boys and a dozen girls from Class S participating in the sports meet, which was quite a lot.

Even in lower-level classes, not necessarily this many people participate.

Apart from the sports specialty class, which is for the whole class.

Two bolder girls, blushing, walked up to Su Yuzhe on either side: "Su Yuzhe...can we...can we walk next to you for a bit?"

Of course not! If Zixiao sees this, she'll tear you all apart!

Yu Zhe pulled Luo Xiaomeng over: "Xiaomeng, walk next to me! Hey, look, she's the class monitor, it's so pitiful that she can't carry the flag, she should at least walk in front, right?"

The two girls were a little embarrassed: "Ah...you're right, then Xiaomeng should go first..."

Xiaomeng, it's all thanks to your class monitor!

Xiao Meng, who was pulled aside by Yu Zhe, sighed helplessly. She had learned something new; it was the first time she had seen someone like Yu Zhe who was troubled by being too popular.

Maybe that's what being a "normie" is all about.

"Athletes' entrance ceremony! Begin now!"

rousing music blared from the loudspeakers, accompanied by the whooshing sound of waving flags, and classes were already entering the field.

The order of entry starts from the first year of high school.

In the first year of high school, Yu Zhe is basically...

I don't know anyone there.

Observing the somewhat stiff steps and nervous faces of the first-year high school flag bearers, Yu Zhe smiled knowingly. Yes, that's how kids should be. It really feels like the days of youth.

Xiao Meng stared at Yu Zhe in a daze: "Yu Zhe... are you nervous? There are about five minutes left before we enter."

"Nervous? Oh, no, no, I was just thinking about something. Xiaomeng, are you nervous?"

"A little bit... After all, I feel a bit of pressure walking ahead of you..."

That's true. Xiao Meng had seen Yu Zhe sing "Gurenhua" on stage at a comic convention under the pseudonym Yu Fei, and he wasn't nervous at all. This is nothing.

As for herself, she was about to walk next to Yu Zhe, and wow... she was worried that she would be completely invisible. After all, with Yu Zhe as her foil, her sense of presence would be overshadowed.

The first-year high school students finished walking at this point.

The host's voice came from the main speaker again: "Now marching towards us is Class S of Grade 11! As the strongest and most promising force in Fenghai No. 1 High School, they have overcome all obstacles and are marching in with their heads held high! Leading the way is Ouyang Lizhi, the student council president of Fenghai No. 1 High School! Let's welcome them in!"

This time, the cheers at the scene were louder than before, partly because of the support from Class S, and partly because of the halo of Little Lychee, the student council president. Although she may not be very useful in practice, the title of student council president is highly respected at Fenghai No. 1 High School.

Little Lychee was holding a flag and walking with carefree steps, as if she were taking a stroll, and it seemed like she was looking for something around her.

What else could I be looking for?

Yu Zhe quickly hid behind one of his classmates. If she found him, it would be terrible. She could wave at him on stage, but now that she's offstage, she might lose her mind and drop the flag to run over. That would be the end of her.

The second-year students' procession passed by one by one until they reached the last class of the second-year students.

What followed was not the senior year of high school, but the school's art classes and sports specialty classes.

The art class was fine; I got through it normally.

The sports specialty class, on the other hand, put together the most elaborate and flamboyant formation, constantly changing their arrangement. It seems they've made a lot of preparations for the sports meet, since this is their home turf and they can't just follow the same pattern as the other classes.

The person leading the team was Feng Yang. As the president of the basketball club, it was not surprising that he could lead the sports specialty class.

However, their entrance was accompanied by screams and exclamations from a group of girls in the audience, who chanted slogans such as "Feng Yang, Feng Yang, the strongest on the field."

I must say, these fangirls are surprisingly loud.

Feng Yang smiled contentedly and waved to the group of pretty boys.

As they disappeared at the end of the entrance track, Feng Yang turned around, glanced in Su Yuzhe's direction out of the corner of his eye, and smiled smugly, as if he had already won.

Yu Zhe, of course, didn't see it; he was just thinking about what to eat for lunch.

After the sports specialty class, it was naturally the turn of the senior year S class.

At that moment, the Mediterranean-looking principal on the stage gave the student in charge of the sound system a gesture that said, "You can start now."

Yu Zhe took the first step.

At the same time, the background music, which was originally instrumental, suddenly stopped and was replaced by a more exciting song with lyrics!

And it wasn't just the main speaker; there were also many small speakers and portable subwoofers that were temporarily moved in, all playing exciting music at the same time.

In an instant, a passionate atmosphere filled the entire venue.

The host, in his deepest voice, read out the lines that Mediterranean had prepared for him.

"Next up is the magnificent Senior 3 Class S! This magnificent class boasts the most diligent and studious students. Even in sports, which they are not particularly skilled in, they are not to be outdone and fight bravely! And the flag bearer, Su Yuzhe, needs no further introduction; he is a shining star, radiant and dazzling!"

The hand holding the flag trembled slightly with anger. Who is this person who messed up the entrance background music and even changed the lyrics!

Yu Zhe is so embarrassed by this word!

However, the effect on site reached a peak.

Yu Zhe's whereabouts are usually very mysterious, but everyone knows that the eldest son of the Su family studies at Fenghai No. 1 Middle School.

Now he walks at the very front of the senior class S line.

Even the Yu Zhe Knights, who were lurking in every class regardless of whether they were boys or girls, played a leading role.

"Master Yuzhe!"

"Ah, Young Master Yu Zhe, we love you!"

Cheers erupted everywhere, as if this were not a sports meet but some kind of idol event.

Some people even started chanting strange slogans: "Long live Miss Yu Zhe!"

Yu Zhe really wanted to throw the flag he was holding at that moment!
