Chapter 1 Goodbye, Otaku 2
"The above is all the content of this sports meeting. Huang, I leave everything to you." Our homeroom teacher, Mr. Lin, solemnly placed the blue folder in my hand, with an expression as if he was handing over a sacred mission.
I said confidently, "Teacher Lin, please rest assured."
Teacher Lin quickly glanced at the other end of the office. The desk there was empty, but I knew that the owner of that desk was Teacher Su, the head teacher of our biggest rival class.
I heard that Teacher Lin and Teacher Su entered the school to teach in the same year, and the competition between the two was fierce, but Teacher Lin's luck was always a little worse than Teacher Su's, which led to him always falling behind at critical moments.
But this rule was broken since I entered the school. Whether it was academic performance or various competitions, I was always the first, easily turning the top student in Teacher Su's class into the perennial runner-up, so Teacher Lin doted on me and trusted me immensely.
Even though this sports meet is about sports, as long as I'm here, those stupid common people will definitely work harder to please me, and maybe we can win first place in the team.
In my, Huang Yaxi's dictionary, there is absolutely no word "lose"!
After returning to the classroom, I walked straight to the podium and clapped my hands: "Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me."
The noisy classmates quieted down and turned their eyes to me.
I picked up the chalk with a smile and wrote a line of big words on the blackboard: Sports Meet NO.1!
"Classmates, the teacher just told me that the school will hold a sports meet at the end of the month. I believe that everyone has enough ability to help our class win first place in the grade. Now please tell me, do you have the confidence?"
To my surprise, everyone looked troubled: “It’s so difficult…”
"I don't have confidence."
The corners of my mouth almost twitched: "Why don't you have confidence? Obviously everyone is very strong. Izumi, you were a member of the track and field team in your previous school; Xiaochun, although your physical fitness is not good, your three-point shooting rate in physical education class is close to 100%; Yuanqing and Longjia are very strong..."
I listed the advantages and strengths of most of my classmates in one breath, and immediately received bursts of exclamations.
"Student Huang, how do you know these things?"
I narrowed my eyes and smiled: "Because I'm the class monitor, I usually pay attention to everyone."
"Wow, I'm actually being noticed by Huang? I'm so happy! Huang, please rest assured, I will definitely try my best."
"That's right, we are the first in the grade!"
Hearing their excited cheers, I struck while the iron was hot: "Then please start signing up for the events. Oh, by the way, this sports meet is a little different from the previous ones, and it requires full participation. In other words, all students in the class must sign up for an event, otherwise even if everyone wins first place in a single event, they will not be eligible to participate in the group award. So everyone should sign up for the event they want to participate in first, and then combine according to their strength to achieve the best effect. Our goal is..."
"First in the class!" The deafening cheers almost blew the roof off.
After happily recording the registration form, I counted the names and said, "Hey, why are there only 47 names? Who didn't register?"
But a strange thing happened. The memory that I was so proud of turned out to be wrong. I couldn't remember who the missing name belonged to.
If you can't remember, just check them one by one! I quickly compared the registration form with the class roster and finally found that all the people on the class roster had checked the box.
That is to say, all 48 people on the class roster should have signed up for the competition, but why are there only 47 people on the registration form no matter how we count them?
I picked up the roster and registration form, and started asking the first student in the first row: "Liu Zhen, which event did you sign up for? I need to check... Shirakawa is in the shot put and 800-meter relay, and the next one is..." I looked at the empty desk and turned to ask Shirakawa, "Where is your deskmate?"
Baichuan scratched the back of his head and frowned: "He seemed to be here just now, maybe he went to the bathroom now."
"Oh, well, I'll come see him later."
I ticked the name as I spoke, but suddenly I froze: "Mi Lin? Weird, is there such a person in our class? Why don't I have any impression of him?"
Was this a particularly inconspicuous person, so I never noticed him at all? Had I never heard of this name?
I took out the registration form and the roster and checked them quickly: "It turns out that the missing name is his. I didn't expect that I would make mistakes sometimes. Shirakawa, do you know what Mi Rin's specialties are?"
"Specialties?" Bai Chuan thought hard for a while while spinning his pen and said, "I don't think so. I'm not familiar with him."
I was both angry and amused: "Aren't you guys desk mates? How come you're not familiar with each other?"
Bai Chuan said with some distress: "He doesn't talk much and his presence is very weak. I often forget that there is a classmate sitting next to him." He smiled and said, "He is the complete opposite of Huang."
I tapped the watch lightly with my pen and said in a rather disapproving tone, "Shirakawa, don't think of your classmates like that. We are all classmates, we should unite and love each other. If Mirin comes, please ask him to find me."
"Yes, sir. I will complete the mission." Baichuan placed his left hand flat on his forehead and saluted. "If he hears this news, he will definitely faint from surprise. Haha."
I returned to my seat with a smile on my face, and heard people talking about how lucky Mi Rin was. It seemed that Mi Rin must be a "marginal person", so pitiful.
In the past, I thought that this kind of creature only existed in legends, because their definition is: no outstanding talents, no excellent grades, no beautiful appearance, taciturn or clumsy. In short, they are useless and have accomplished nothing. They are the eternal ants living at the bottom of the world.
He and I are from completely different worlds.
Since he is also a "legendary figure", I will talk to him more when he comes to see me later. I guess this scene will become a rare rosy memory in his life? Maybe he has been secretly in love with me for a long time, so he may become more clumsy in front of me...
"I have to take a leave on the day of the sports meet, so I don't plan to sign up." A familiar voice sounded in my ears, interrupting my thoughts.
I smiled and looked up to the side, and when I saw the other person's face clearly.
Snapped!
My beloved pen fell to the ground, but I was completely unaware because I had just discovered something terrible.
"Why are you here?" I looked at the person in front of me with a horrified face, almost unable to speak.
Messy short black hair like a bird's nest!
Huge old fashioned black frame glasses!
Isn't this the same nerd who saw me wearing an old lady's underwear?
Oh my God! I had finally forgotten about that terrible zipper incident, why did you throw the only witness in front of me? What's even more terrifying is that this guy was wearing our school uniform!
I seemed to hear the laughter of countless people.
"Hahaha, have you heard? The most elegant Huang Yaxi is actually wearing old lady's underwear."
"What's the big deal about wearing auntie panties? I heard she never zips up when she goes out. She's actually an exhibitionist."
"So she was just pretending. What kind of princess is that? Pah!"
No, I can't let this horrible thing happen!
Seeing that he was about to speak, I immediately stood up and prepared to drag him out. At this time, Baichuan appeared from behind him: "Huang-san, this guy is Mi Lin. Mi Lin, you have to talk to Huang-san properly."
He is Mi Lin? My classmate?
Oh my god! That means he knew me that day and came to chat with me on purpose, but he didn't expect to catch me accidentally? Then he appeared in front of me now, he must want to threaten me! Next, he will definitely ask me to be his friend, maybe even more excessively, asking me to be his girlfriend, asking me to date him, accompany him to eat, watch movies, and study!
Yes, that's right, this must be the truth!
But I won't give in.
It is impossible for someone like him to be friends with me.
But now he has the upper hand over me, and I must calmly think of a way to solve this big problem.
But... wow, how can I solve this problem?
Just when I was about to cry out of anxiety, Mi Lin spoke expressionlessly.
"There seems to be something wrong with your appendix. You'd better go to the hospital for a check-up. Have you been having trouble defecating recently, and sometimes you fart a lot?"
His words stunned me.
"What are you talking about? How can you say 'let go, let go...' to a girl?" My face turned red and I couldn't utter those two vulgar words at all.
Mi Lin said seriously: "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. All living creatures will poop and fart, and you are no exception. If these are abnormal, it means..."
Baichuan covered Mi Lin's mouth tightly with his hands and said awkwardly: "Mr. Huang, please don't mind what this guy said. And, I'm really not familiar with him..." As he spoke, he dragged Mi Lin back. When he finished the word, he and Mi Lin had disappeared from the classroom.
I stared stupidly in the direction where they disappeared. After a few minutes, I finally reacted and jumped up from my seat: "Ah, hey, wait a minute..." I stopped talking halfway. Facing the surprised or confused eyes of my classmates, I suddenly realized that I had just done something rude that was contrary to my perfect and elegant image.
Oh no, what should I do? It's all Mi Lin's fault! Not only did she see me in such an embarrassing state, but she also said such vulgar words to me in public, which made my mask fall off. How can I make amends now?
Just as I was desperately trying to find a way to get away with it, my classmates came over to me warmly:
"Yashi was so cute just now."
"Yes, Huang is usually too elegant and too calm, like an unattainable flower on the mountain top, and she is far away from us. I didn't expect that Huang would also have a childish side."
"As expected of Huang-san, you are so beautiful even when you frown or pout."
Faced with the blind admiration of my classmates, I would have been excited under normal circumstances, but now I just feel annoyed because I have to quickly ask Mi Lin what she is trying to do.
Judging from Baichuan and everyone else's reactions just now, he didn't seem to tell the embarrassing story in class, but this might be his conspiracy. Maybe he was waiting for me to notice his presence, and then took the opportunity to make all kinds of rude requests, but I didn't expect that because his presence was too weak, I didn't realize that he was actually my classmate.
That's why he deliberately didn't sign up, leaving me to stupidly go find him on my own.
Yes, that's definitely it.
He is so mean and shameless! I must... Hey, my stomach starts to hurt, and it hurts more and more.
"Student Huang, why do you look so pale?"
"Yashi, you're sweating a lot, what's wrong with you?"
I covered my stomach with my hands and tried to force a smile: "My stomach hurts so much, please call an ambulance for me..." Then everything went dark and I knew nothing.
