DLSRWAR Chapter 42 Promoted from sports representative member to class monitor.

Qin Yumian was painting an oil painting.

She was actually more skilled in hand-drawn sketches, and she didn’t paint oil paintings often, but she was at a competent level.

Grandpa Qin glanced at the oil painting Qin Yumian had given Old Lu, lifted the teacup from the table, and took a gentle sip without saying a word.

Grandpa Lu, meanwhile, gazed at the vividly colored oil painting before suddenly speaking up, “Mian-ah, would you like to study in an art studio for six months?”

Surprised, Qin Yumian glanced instinctively at Grandpa Qin and then shook her head. “Grandpa Lu, I can still paint at school.”

It seemed that the old man had anticipated Qin Yumian’s response and did not insist further. Instead, he asked Aunt He to frame the painting and hang it in the study.

After celebrating Grandpa Lu’s birthday, Qin Yumian had to return to school.

Qin Xian had finished his exams and was on vacation, so with him at home keeping Grandpa Qin company, Qin Yumian didn’t need to make frequent trips back home like before.

Lu Jiawen drove Qin Yumian back to school. When she arrived at the dormitory, Hao Jiajia and the others hadn’t finished their evening study session yet.

Ye Hancheng’s school uniform was hanging on the balcony, having been sun-dried for two days, and it exuded a faint scent of laundry detergent.

Qin Yumian took the uniform down from the clothesline, folded it neatly, and planned to return it to Ye Hancheng in the classroom the next day.

Life in the senior year was either intense or relaxed.

There was accurate news about Chen Lanping’s transfer in the final week of supplementary classes.

Her old classmates still had some connections, and Chen Lanping was indeed transferred to No. 1 High School.

When Yang Mao heard about this, he immediately ran back to the classroom to share the good news with everyone.

“Sun Erniang won’t be teaching our class next semester. That shrew is finally leaving.”

The announcement caused an uproar in the classroom, like a nationwide celebration.

Hao Jiajia clasped her hands in prayer. “I hope the new homeroom teacher isn’t another one like Chen Lanping.”

Someone asked, “Yang Mao, did you find out who will be our new homeroom teacher next semester?”

Yang Mao waved his hand dismissively. “It doesn’t matter who it is, as long as they’re not like Sun Erniang, I don’t mind.”

Wu Yu added, “If the homeroom teacher changes, will the class committees need to be reelected?”

Big Fatty raised his hand. “If Ye Hancheng runs for class monitor, I would definitely cast my precious vote for him!”

“I’ll vote for Ye Hancheng as well,” another student added.

The current class monitor felt a bit uncomfortable hearing this but didn’t show it.

She had only been elected because no one else wanted the position. In the two years she had served as class monitor, she had never been able to keep these classmates under control. If it came to giving up the role of class monitor, she had no objections.

Ye Hancheng gave Big Fatty a nudge from behind. “Stop campaigning for me. I’m not interested in being the class monitor.”

Wu Yu looked at Qin Yumian. “What about you, sports rep? Do you want to be the class monitor?”

Since senior year, there were no more physical education classes, just morning check-ins and jogging. Maintaining the students’ physical health while balancing academics was crucial.

Before Qin Yumian could respond, Yang Mao jumped onto the podium, knocked on the blackboard, and announced seriously, “As you all know, Sun Erniang is finally leaving our beautiful class. To celebrate this great news, I declare that we will re-elect the class committees!”

Wu Yu eagerly raised his hand. “I nominate the sports rep for class monitor.”

Big Fatty added, “I’ll cast my vote for the sports rep too.”

Hao Jiajia chimed in, “And me, me!”

“…”

Yang Mao nodded gravely. “It looks like there’s a strong demand for the sports rep to be class monitor. So, I announce that our new class monitor for Senior Class 4 is Comrade Qin Yumian. Let’s give her a round of applause!”

Qin Yumian: “…”

Was this not even giving her the chance to refuse?

Ye Hancheng put on a serious face, thinking that being a class committee wasn’t such a bad thing after all, especially if it meant working with his wife.

Thus, amid the enthusiastic support, Qin Yumian was successfully promoted from sports representative member to class monitor. Wu Yu, who was among the top ten in grades, took over as the academic committee member, and Ye Hancheng was randomly chosen to be the discipline committee member.

Du Yuehe, the former academic committee member, was very dissatisfied with the outcome. She insisted that the election only had meaning if witnessed by the teacher.

However, no one paid her any mind.

Ever since the last incident where she accused Qin Yumian of hitting someone, Hao Jiajia and the others had treated her with disdain, and she had little social interaction with others.

Thus, Qin Yumian’s election as class monitor was a done deal.

Recently, Hao Jiajia had developed a fondness for having Qin Yumian draw a pencil sketch of her idol on the back of her school uniform.

As soon as the bell rang, Hao Jiajia would take off her school uniform, spread it out on the desk, and pull out a stunning image of her idol. “Sports—no, Class Monitor Qin, draw this one. I love this picture; it’s so handsome!”

Ye Hancheng walked over with the milk tea he had just swiped from Big Fatty, grabbed the back of the shirt collar of the boy sitting in front, and motioned for him to switch seats.

The boy, not daring to provoke this big shot, obediently hugged his textbooks and moved to a new seat without complaint.

Ye Hancheng set the milk tea on Qin Yumian’s desk, squinting slightly. “Who’s this in the drawing?”

Hao Jiajia, her face flushed, replied, “It’s my idol!”

Ye Hancheng thought the person in the picture looked familiar. When he noticed a small mole on the tip of their nose, he finally remembered. “Oh, it’s Lin Jiayang.”

Upon hearing Ye Hancheng’s words, Hao Jiajia’s eyes sparkled as if filled with stars. “Brother Han, you know Little Sheep too?”

“I know him,” Ye Hancheng nodded. Although he was talking to Hao Jiajia, his gaze was fixed on his wife. “You really like him?”

Hao Jiajia was thrilled. “I’m his number one fan! I even bought tickets to his concert. As soon as summer vacation starts, I’m going to attend his show.”

Ye Hancheng casually asked, “Where’s the concert being held?”

“In the capital.” As she said this, Hao Jiajia’s mood suddenly sank. “But the tickets to the capital are so expensive. I’ve saved up just enough to buy the ticket there. It would be great if he could come to City H for a concert.”

Ye Hancheng raised an eyebrow, his gaze lowering as he seemed lost in thought.

Hao Jiajia went to fetch some test papers for the math teacher and encountered Ye Hancheng on her way back to the classroom.

The young man seemed to be waiting for her on purpose.

Hao Jiajia blinked and asked, “Dad, what’s up?”

The young man, whose school uniform was always worn askew, spoke up, “You want to go to the capital to see Lin Jiayang’s concert, right?”

Hao Jiajia nodded eagerly. Of course, she wanted to go.

Ye Hancheng said, “I can take you there.”

Hao Jiajia’s eyes lit up. “Really?”

Ye Hancheng laid out his condition. “But you’ll have to convince your Mom to come along too.”

Hao Jiajia: “…”

Hao Jiajia knew it wouldn’t be that simple.

She hesitated, “Dad, you don’t know. My Mom, she will never leave Sangcheng…”

Ye Hancheng slowly threw out the bait. “If you can persuade your Mom to go to the capital, I can also get you a signed photo of Lin Jiayang.”

Hao Jiajia immediately changed her tune. “Dad, don’t worry. I’ll handle it. Even if I have to cry, make a fuss, or even hang myself, I’ll make sure to send Mom to the capital.”
