Zhou Yiming was naturally disqualified.
Not only that, after this commotion, his classmates in Class One naturally became united against a common enemy, and the people in Class Two became even less welcoming towards him.
Many people harbored feelings of jealousy and envy towards Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan. Zhou Yiming's method of revealing himself to retain his position as class monitor was undoubtedly quite repulsive to everyone.
Of course, the key was Qin Tian's seemingly casual yet impactful counterattack, which was like a heavy slap to Zhou Yiming's face, proving to everyone that he was entirely worthy of Xia Nuannuan's excellence.
At the same time, it also powerfully refuted the rumors that had not yet spread.
As expected, after the roll call that evening, the boys in Class Two who had privately discussed Qin Tian mooching off Xia Nuannuan would tacitly stop mentioning the topic.
Jealousy and envy were human nature, but when people realized the vast gap between themselves and the object of their jealousy, these negative emotions would naturally transform into admiration and respect.
Due to the dissatisfaction with Zhou Yiming and their own desires, the election for Class Two's male class monitor was quite intense.
Even those who had not prepared to run for class monitor at all stepped up and gave impromptu speeches.
Finally, the position of Class Two's male class monitor was won by a boy who was well-liked in the class.
Next was the election for the female class monitor. To the surprise of many, the elected girl was the same temporary class monitor previously assigned by the counselor.
This girl had been hesitant to run for the position, but with the encouragement of her roommates, she went on stage to give it a try.
Upon taking the stage, the girl admitted that her performance as temporary class monitor over the past half month had not been good, offering no excuses or wasted words. She promised to serve everyone with even greater dedication and diligence if she were to continue as class monitor.
The girl's sincere attitude earned her forgiveness from many classmates in Class Two. Furthermore, she had indeed done a lot for everyone during the past half month, ultimately winning the election by a few votes.
Zhou Yiming, who received not a single vote, felt even more humiliated by this similar but opposite outcome, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into.
After the class monitor elections, came the elections for positions such as Youth League secretary, life committee member, propaganda committee member, and others.
Everyone was smart; the position of Youth League secretary, which could be helpful for future job applications, was also fiercely contested.
As for the remaining positions, fewer people were willing to compete, so the counselor, Shu Peng, directly appointed them.
It wasn't until eight o'clock that the class cadres for both classes were finally finalized.
As always, the counselor considered everyone and, without any unnecessary words, announced the dissolution of the meeting.
The classroom immediately became noisy and bustling. Some were still discussing the events that had just transpired, while others were planning where to eat.
"Dorm leaders of each dorm, don't forget to come and collect the schedules and course tables."
Shu Peng picked up a stack of forms from the podium and called out loudly.
"Who is the dorm leader for our dorm?"
Cao Mingliang asked with a smile.
"Don't look at me. I'm already the class monitor, you can't boss me around like that. The dorm leader is naturally the oldest one. I'm the fourth oldest."
Seeing the three looking at him, Qin Tian immediately spoke up.
"Then it's Zhuang Ge. I have no objections."
Cao Mingliang grinned and looked at Chen Zhuang.
"No objections."
Zhuang Zhe also chimed in.
"Damn, fine, I'll do it. Who asked me to be the eldest in our dorm?"
Chen Zhuang cheerfully accepted the appointment.
"What about our dorm?"
Xia Nuannuan asked her three roommates with a smile.
"Lei Jie?"
Shen Siqi tentatively suggested.
"No, please don't. I'm not good at this kind of thing."
Lu Lei raised her hand in a gesture of refusal, saying with a gentle smile, "Siqi, you are cheerful and generous. You be the dorm leader!"
"Ah? Me? I can't, it shouldn't be me!"
Shen Siqi waved her hands repeatedly, politely declining.
"I think it's great. Siqi, you go ahead!"
Xia Nuannuan said sweetly.
"I don't have any objections either."
Lu Yanran shrugged indifferently, slinging her brand-name handbag over her shoulder.
For her, being the dorm leader was just a hassle.
"Then... alright, I guess I'll have to do this troublesome job. I'll go get the forms."
Shen Siqi nodded helplessly in agreement.
"Shen Siqi, you don't need to go. I'll go get them for you!"
Chen Zhuang said excitedly, then strode towards the podium.
This was a rare commonality between them, and a good opportunity to show his attentiveness.
Qin Tian and the others looked at Shen Siqi with knowing smiles.
Shen Siqi's face turned slightly red, and she said with feigned composure, "Why are you all looking at me like that? I didn't ask him to help."
"Then you two are both dorm leaders. From now on, you'll be in charge of arranging any activities between our two dorms."
Qin Tian said with a smile.
"Right, right, right."
Xia Nuannuan nodded in agreement.
"I second that!"
Cao Mingliang echoed with a laugh.
"Darling, I'm a bit hungry. Shall we go get some late-night snacks?"
Lu Yanran affectionately linked her arm through his, her smile bright.
"Sure!"
Cao Mingliang nodded, then looked at everyone and asked, "Anyone want to join? My treat."
"You two go ahead. We won't disturb you."
Qin Tian politely declined with a light laugh.
The others naturally did not join them either, all politely refusing.
Cao Mingliang did not insist and left the classroom hand-in-hand with Lu Yanran.
"Nuannuan, let's head out too. I'll take the things you bought to your car."
"Mhm, mhm!"
...
...
After leaving the teaching building, they walked hand-in-hand towards the parking area.
"Nuannuan, can I discuss something with you?"
Qin Tian suddenly said.
"Okay, what is it?"
Xia Nuannuan looked up at him, her gaze filled with curiosity.
"Look, haven't we been dating longer than Cao Mingliang and Lu Yanran?"
"Yes, why?"
"Then shouldn't your address for me change?"
Qin Tian suggested with a smile.
"Address?"
Xia Nuannuan blinked in surprise.
"Yes, remember what Lu Yanran called Cao Mingliang just now?"
"Mm..."
Xia Nuannuan's expression turned thoughtful as she recalled what the couple had said before leaving.
Soon, her expression stiffened slightly, and a blush rapidly spread from her neck, dyeing her delicate and beautiful face red in an instant.
Qin Tian watched her with a faint smile, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Dar, darling..."
Xia Nuannuan, blushing deeply, fidgeted for a while, still too shy to say it.
After the graduation banquet, her address for Qin Tian had naturally become the more intimate "Tian Ge," but being asked to call him "darling" now was still a bit difficult.
But Qin Tian was not wrong.
She and Qin Tian had started dating earlier, and their relationship should undoubtedly be more intimate than that of Lu Yanran and Cao Mingliang, so their addresses should also be more affectionate.
"I'm sorry..."
Xia Nuannuan lowered her head, apologizing with a look of guilt.
