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

Xiao Meng suddenly realized, "Indeed, time flies. It feels like not long ago since the first sports meet was organized in the first year of high school, and now it's already the final stage of high school."

Yes, Teacher Fang is right, it would be better to ask everyone in the class.

Xiao Meng picked up the poster and stood up: "Okay, I understand, teacher. I'll ask everyone about their preferences during break time. Let everyone decide how many people can participate in the sports meet."

"Okay, next period, Chinese teacher Chang has something to do, so it will be a self-study period instead. Just continue talking to them during class. After you're done, don't forget to maintain order and continue the self-study... Oh, by the way, Su Yuzhe is absent today. Please inform him about this separately."

"it is good."

After leaving the office.

Xiao Meng looked at the poster in her hand, feeling both happy and worried.

What's pleasing is that she enjoys organizing group activities, and it feels great to work together to accomplish something.

However, I am also worried that this may indeed affect my study habits. There are still many people in the class, like Qin Ruoke, who are wholeheartedly devoted to their studies.

No matter what I thought about it, I had already arrived at the classroom.

Luo Xiaomeng stood on the podium, which was very high. She habitually took a small stool and stood on it, instantly becoming taller so that the whole class could see her. Otherwise, if only half of her head was visible, it would look ridiculous.

"Ahem, everyone stop for a moment, there's something I need to tell you."

In the elite class, anything can pique everyone's interest.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"Xiaomeng's bakery has launched new products?"

"I hope we don't have to take another exam!"

Ignoring their guesses, Xiaomeng placed the poster in front of her: "It's the Winter Games. They've held these in previous years; our class think we won a third prize once, yeah, not bad! This year is great for us..."

This is supposed to be the last one. Anyone interested in signing up?

The discussion stopped.

Many people looked embarrassed.

Then a girl raised her hand and asked, "Xiaomeng, is there a rule that each class must send someone to register?"

Not wanting to lie, Xiaomeng told the truth: "Other classes have it, but we don't have any special privileges in this regard."

"That's good." A boy breathed a sigh of relief. "There's no limit on the number of spots, so I think we should just skip it this year. We know our own level, and we'd only make a fool of ourselves if we went on the field. It was fine to go on the field for fun before, but now that the college entrance exam is coming up, we might as well study more."

Don't be fooled by what he said; he was just stating what most people are thinking.

Seeing that everyone wasn't very enthusiastic, Xiaomeng added as a consolation prize: "The most important thing is participation, right? Think about it, even if we don't win a prize, as long as we hear that someone from Class S of the senior year is participating in the sports meet, our high school won't have any regrets, right?"

But no one raised their hand to sign up.

Everyone seemed to be in a dilemma. On the one hand, they really wanted to respond to the class monitor, but on the other hand, they really didn't want to waste this time.

Xiao Meng understood and nodded, "It's okay, it's alright if no one's around. Let's leave it at that for now. The teacher has something to do this class, so we'll have a self-study session."

Step down from the podium and return to your seat.

Looking at the sports meet poster in my hand, which was slightly crumpled from being gripped so tightly.

Luo Xiaomeng inexplicably felt a little...regretful and unwilling?

48. Goodness, that's some serious stubbornness!

Recalling the past can also make people sleepy, especially for Zixiao who wasn't feeling well. With her brother by her side, she quickly fell asleep peacefully.

When she got up again, it was already noon.

Amazingly, my stomach really doesn't hurt as much anymore. Although I still feel a little uncomfortable, it's nowhere near unbearable.

When Zixiao reached the dining table, she was stunned.

I'm very grateful that my brother helped with the cooking...

But... cabbage, bok choy, spinach.

All you can see as far as the eye can see are vegetables.

"Brother...are you going to feed the rabbits? I suggest getting a cat."

In the kitchen, Yu Zhe took off his rubber gloves: "You're awake? I don't feed the rabbits or keep cats, this is for you."

"But why are they all vegetables? There should at least be some meat!"

"That won't do." Yu Zhe walked to the table and sat down first. "The internet says that you should eat light meals during this time, and eat more vegetables. Look, there's a bowl of cabbage soup too."

"Cabbage soup..."

In the middle of the table was a large cabbage, along with cabbage soup, which was nothing but cabbage at the moment.

It's really painful.

"The internet is a terrible thing..."

"Don't be picky about food, eat well, we need to be special during this special time!"

But actually, Yu Zhe, who was saying this, was also feeling apprehensive looking at the table full of vegetable leaves.

Let's not do that again...

This was definitely the lightest lunch Zixiao had ever eaten.

Half an hour later, after this difficult lunch, Zixiao fiddled with the cabbage leaves on her plate: "Brother, you can go to school this afternoon. I'm completely fine now."

"Really?"

"Well, it's not that I'm bragging, or rather, I feel like I can go to school this afternoon."

"That won't work. You should stay home and rest. Go back the day after tomorrow. Rest at home for at least three days."

Zixiao was a little surprised: "Three days? That's too long, isn't it? It will cause you to miss a lot of classes."

"Don't get one thing wrong. When I sent you and Yuche to school, it wasn't to get great grades. It was just to experience life. If you really care about grades and it affects your health, then you've put the cart before the horse."

But Zixiao felt awkward hearing this: "Brother and Yuche are right... You are both so smart, but I am different... If I don't go to school and stay at home all day, I'll be no different from a useless person."

Yu Zhe picked up the cup, took a sip of water, and said, "It's okay, so be it. I'll take care of you."

Yes, it refers to the older brother's care for his younger sister.

But Zixiao didn't hear it that way.

"Um...I...I understand, then I'll stay home for a few more days."

Her heart was pounding, but Zixiao knew she couldn't let herself get caught up in it. She couldn't become a useless person. She was still thinking about how she could help her brother share some of the burden someday!

After confirming that Zixiao was indeed alright, he also told her to call him if she felt unwell.

After lunch, I let her go back to her room to sleep, and Yu Zhe coaxed her to sleep.

Yu Zhe had just changed into his school uniform and was preparing to go to school.

Zixiao is asleep, and there's really nothing to do at home. However, there are some things at school that I need to take care of.

..................................

Because Yu Zhe didn't arrive at school at the usual class time, it was already late afternoon when he got there. It was during break time, but even after class, not many people came out in the senior year.

Especially in the corridor leading to Class S of the senior year, there was hardly anyone around, except for one "sneaky" figure standing at the door, peering inside.

As for who it is, you can tell just by looking at her signature light blonde hair from behind.

"Little Lychee, what are you doing?"

When Ouyang Lizhi turned around, Yu Zhe was somewhat surprised because the expression on her face was different from her usual carefree demeanor; instead, it was one of urgency and worry.

Seeing Yu Zhe was like seeing a lifeline.

"Brother Yuzhe!!"

"Huh? What's up?"

Why did you suddenly hug me like this?!

Yu Zhe instinctively dodged to the side.

A loud bang was heard!

Little Lychee bumped head-on into Yu Zhe's back.

wall!

"Damn it," Yu Zhe thought to himself. "I shouldn't have dodged. The impact was so solid, I'm sure I've been knocked senseless!"

Little Lychee only swayed slightly.

Then she turned around and said with a reproachful look, "Brother Yuzhe, why did you dodge?"

"No, no, no... it's just a conditioned reflex. Compared to that, is your head alright?"

"fine!"

Goodness, that's some serious stubbornness.

Yu Zhe touched his head with a slight pang of pain: "So what are you doing here, sneaking around like that?"

"Oh right! I almost forgot about the important matter!"

Little Lychee slapped her forehead: "I've been at the student council all morning! When I got back to the classroom, I found that Zixiao wasn't there! That diligent Zixiao wasn't in the classroom! And she didn't come back even after class started. My phone was dead, and I can't reach her. Oh no, Zixiao is gone!"

Later, Xiao Lizhi remembered to ask Yu Zhe, but she didn't expect that Yu Zhe wasn't in the classroom either.

Then, filled with remorse, she lowered her head and apologized, "I'm sorry! I lost sight of Zixiao!"

"..."

Do you know what the price of being stubborn is?

That's right, it rusts easily and won't turn.

Yu Zhe held up two fingers: "Zi Xiao is fine, don't panic. You've got two things wrong. First, it's not that Zi Xiao didn't go back to the classroom, it's that she didn't come at all today. Second, don't say you lost Zi Xiao. She doesn't need you to watch over her at all. Just make sure you don't get lost."

"Not coming to school? That's a line of thinking I never considered."

How narrow-minded you are!

"Is there something you need, Zixiao?"

Yu Zhe told her tactfully, "Well, it's nothing, it's just a girl's period."
