Just like a girl who keeps saying "I hate you, I hate you the most", deep down she may actually like you.

………………

The next day, morning exercises.

Actually, what's called morning exercises isn't really doing any exercises; instead, it's a morning run on the playground by class.

Generally, it involves running two laps of the track (800 meters). If the weather is bad, you will have to wait for further notice from the school or college.

On an autumn morning, the dew is heavy, and the air is slightly chilly and hazy.

Jiang Tang had just eaten a bowl of plain noodles with two eggs at home when he carried a backpack containing his thermos and textbooks to the playground under the gloomy sky to prepare for morning exercises.

The place was already filled with students sighing and complaining, most of them staying in their own small groups, but there were also loners like Jiang Tang who didn't have any good friends.

Jiang Tang's mood didn't fluctuate much, unlike other students who seemed to be struggling to run 800 meters.

After all, he is in good physical condition, so getting up early and running exercises are things that are easy for him.

Even so, he still stood in a corner of the classroom, opened his thermos, drank goji berry and red date tea, and felt the warm liquid flowing comfortably down his throat.

It was warm as it was, but it also attracted some... strange looks from him.

Some girls whispered shyly.

"Jiang Tang is so handsome... how come he's so weak? Why is he already drinking goji berries in a thermos..."

There were also boys who weren't on good terms with Jiang Tang and didn't have much interaction with him, making sarcastic remarks.

"I think he's overindulging in excessive sexual activity!"

However, a moment after he said those words, the boy felt as if he had swallowed a bitter pill, unable to express his suffering, and the people around him also had mixed feelings.

Because if Jiang Tang was indulging in excessive sexual activity, then they simply wanted to indulge in it... but they had no opportunity or means to do so!

Jiang Tang has once again successfully made people envious to death.

But he wasn't particular about what he drank; even plain water was fine with him.

The goji berry tea was entirely Shi Xue's own idea; she felt that after "squeezing" her master, it was only right to give him some nourishment.

Not only does she drink tea to nourish her body, she also goes to the supermarket in the school community early in the morning to buy an old hen, preparing to stew a pot of soup for Jiang Tang at noon with ingredients such as ginseng, shiitake mushrooms, and goji berries. The process takes at least two or three hours, and that's how you make the essence of the old hen soup.

Jiang Tang ignored the rumors and gossip; he always managed to live a carefree and resilient life.

As the saying goes, sometimes caring too much about other people's feelings can lead to losing yourself.

He stood quietly to the side, waiting for the class monitor and the Youth League secretary to organize morning exercises.

The class monitor of Class 1 in the Department of Genetic Engineering is a girl, and the secretary of the Youth League branch is a boy. They were both selected by the senior students who were teaching assistants at a class meeting held before the end of military training.

What impressed Jiang Tang and all his classmates most was...

After the class monitor candidates were initially decided through self-nomination, the senior student who was the teaching assistant suddenly asked a question.

"Jiang Tang, are you running for class monitor?"

Jiang Tang was stunned. He never expected anyone to ask him such a question, especially in front of everyone.

He immediately shook his head, looking suspicious.

Seeing his reaction, the senior student said helplessly, "Alright then."

Then came the election for class monitor. The senior students wrote the names of several volunteer candidates on the blackboard and then began distributing ballots. All you had to do was write the name you approved of on it; it was an anonymous, open vote.

Jiang Tang voted for the boy he knew; in this respect, he couldn't escape the common practice.

This also shows that sometimes, election results cannot be entirely determined by the people's spontaneous votes. However, if this is not the case, then a strict supervision and self-inspection system is necessary.

The senior students who were teaching assistants collected the votes and then read out the results one by one. Under the names of the candidates on the blackboard, they wrote one tally mark after another.

In the end, a girl named Song Yu won the election by a narrow margin and became the class monitor of Class 1, Department of Genetic Engineering.

To secure her position as class monitor, she started building relationships with her classmates early on, such as by giving them small gifts or showing them other forms of care. In addition, there were indeed more girls than boys in the class, so even though the boys were more united, they still lost to the girls.

As for the boy who lost, he later became the class monitor, Li Yang's good friend, a calm and quiet boy named Chen Siwen.

It is worth mentioning that when he ran for the position of branch secretary again...

This time, it was the senior student among the teaching assistants who asked Jiang Tang again, with a sense of helplessness.

"Jiang Tang, aren't you running for Youth League branch secretary either?"

Chen Siwen couldn't hold back her emotions any longer, and Li Yang was caught in the middle, torn between Jiang Tang and Chen Siwen.

"..."

Jiang Tang's feelings at that time were also extremely complicated.

Without a doubt, this was Mu Qimei's arrangement.

He had already said that he would not run for class monitor or Youth League secretary, but Mu Qimei still had her students, who were now acting as their class's teaching assistants, ask for his opinion repeatedly.

This was practically telling the whole class that Jiang Tang was the originally chosen candidate for class monitor and Youth League secretary.

How is Jiang Tang supposed to get along in class now... He just wants a peaceful college life.

If Jiang Tang wavers at this point and says he wants to run for the position of Youth League branch secretary, wouldn't that completely confirm his image as someone who got in through connections and is hypocritical?

So, of course, he gave another negative answer with a livid face.

"I am not running for class monitor, and I have no interest in any position in the class."

“…Alright.” The senior student gave up trying to persuade Jiang Tang.

Anyway, they did their best, so their counselor, Ms. Mu Qimei, shouldn't blame them.

After that came the elections for other class officers, which were basically just tools, meant to be used for training, and didn't offer much benefit, such as vice class monitor, arts and culture representative, academic representative, sports representative, etc.

For these unimportant positions, the senior students never asked Jiang Tang for his opinion.

After the class meeting ended, Jiang Tang could clearly feel that the atmosphere between him and his classmates had become much more awkward.

Whether it's the female group or the male group.

So it's all because of that hateful woman, Mu Qimei...

Speaking of Mu Qimei, as a counselor in the School of Biological Sciences, she was nowhere to be seen when Jiang Tang went for morning exercises.

After everyone had finished running, she finally came to the playground, carrying a jianbing (Chinese crepe) in a very down-to-earth manner.

Today she was wearing a white long-sleeved knit sweater and a red scarf, a common combination among girls in autumn and winter. She had a gentle and kind temperament like a girl next door. Her tight pants accentuated her alluring figure. She took small bites of the jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe), completely unaware that sesame seeds were stuck to the corners of her lips.

After Jiang Tang's class finished their morning exercise, the group of students were all leaning forward and backward, panting heavily, saying that they were about to collapse. Only Jiang Tang's breathing was even and calm, as if he hadn't run at all.

To be honest, if running exercises only involves running two laps around the track (800 meters), then for Jiang Tang, it's really just a warm-up.

The counselor usually only comes to supervise; she doesn't even need to take attendance. Instead, the sports department officers of the student union organize it.

But since she was there, the class monitor and the Youth League secretary would instinctively look at the counselor, wanting to hear what the counselor's next plan was.

Or if not, choose to disband.

Mu Qimei did not disappoint everyone. She said a few words, praising the students' hard work and perseverance in getting up early for morning exercises, and then continued.

"Then let's call it a day this morning!"

"However, Jiang Tang, stay behind for a bit, let me see you run another lap~"

"?"

252 I feel like I've seen you before.

What does it mean to say, "Run another lap and see what happens"?

You've never eaten a handsome man's flesh, but you want to see a handsome man run away, right?

Jiang Tang was amused at the time, and he originally intended to just leave.

But Mu Qimei narrowed her alluring crimson eyes, the beauty mark under her eye standing out, her gaze half ambiguous and half threatening.

Then he thought about how she was still his counselor, and how she would have plenty of opportunities to make things difficult for him in the future.

Jiang Tang sighed helplessly and finally had no choice but to stay. He came to Mu Qimei's side, lowered his head, but not to show weakness, but to look into her eyes.

When eyes meet, it's easy to tell who's bluffing.

The other students all walked out of the playground in groups through the small gate, either going directly to the classroom or to the cafeteria for a meal first.

Faced with Jiang Tang's plight, some laughed, while others envied him, even though Jiang Tang had no idea what was so enviable about being left behind and tortured.

As Li Baiwei, the class monitor from the next class, walked out of the playground with her roommates, she looked at Jiang Tang, who was still there, and their counselor Mu Qimei with a complicated expression, seemingly lost in thought.

Mu Qimei tilted her head, her narrow eyes reflecting the girl's figure, clearly noticing Li Baiwei's gaze.

"Hmph, flirting with other women~"

As soon as she finished speaking, she naturally handed over her own jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe).

"Hey, I can't eat anymore, here you go."

"Who wants to eat your leftovers?" Jiang Tang refused without hesitation, his brows furrowing slightly as he thought to himself, "This woman is far too familiar with me."

"But I don't want to waste it~"

Mu Qimei's coquettishness was perfectly natural. Although her identity was that of a counselor, she was young and beautiful, and it would not be surprising to say that she was a freshman this year.

"If you don't want to waste food, order less of these side dishes. Chicken strips, bacon, shredded potatoes, eggs... You're really something, that's quite a luxury."

Seeing that Jiang Tang remained unmoved, Mu Qimei sighed helplessly and could only take small bites of her jianbing guozi again. The way her red lips opened and closed was incredibly alluring and captivating.

Jiang Tang never imagined that a rich young lady would actually force herself to eat the rest of the jianbing guozi just to avoid wasting food.

This made Jiang Tang look at her with even greater respect.

I feel that Mu Qimei might be a special woman.

He continued.

"Why are you keeping me here? You're not really going to make me run a lap, are you? I'm in a hurry to get to class. Don't kid me."

"Running a lap is a piece of cake for you, right? The school sports meet is coming up soon. With your physique, it's a pity you can't represent the School of Biological Sciences."

"Jiang Tang, although I know that you don't like to get involved in troublesome things and want to keep to yourself."

"But you must also remember that you live in a community, and sometimes you must contribute your share to the community. In return, the community and the big family will be proud of you and will do many things for you within their power."
