Chapter 119 -116: The Extra Girl (Second Update)
Isn’t it said that there are only four girls in the condensed matter physics class?

How come there is suddenly an extra one?
“It’s not suddenly an extra one,” the girl explained with a sense of helplessness, “My name is Xia Shi, Shi as in stone, so I guess the school must have thought my name was male.”
A few of them suddenly realized.
Liang Yujun suddenly ‘oh’ed in realization, “Xia Shi, how did you know which classroom our classes were in?”
“Of course, I asked at the counselor’s office.”
Xia Shi looked oddly at Liang Yujun, “Don’t you guys go and find out who the counselor is?”
Ah, this…
Indeed, they had discussed this topic, but never thought of actually finding out.
Xia Shi shook her head, looking at the others as if they were delicate girls who couldn’t fend for themselves, especially Song Jiawen.
She had just heard that a girl more beautiful than the second-year Chinese department’s campus beauty had come to the physics department, and it must be her.
Xia Shi had not expected that the only other girl in her class would be unanimously recognized as the department’s beauty.
But this made things easier.
There were other people in the dorm, but Xia Shi didn’t care, she casually leaned on Song Jiawen’s desk and said, “There will be a class meeting tomorrow, and the counselor is likely to appoint an acting class leader. I’ve already nominated myself, but it seems like he wants to pick a boy. Song Jiawen, since it’s only the two of us girls in class, I hope you can support me.”
Song Jiawen didn’t quite understand, was her support really that important? After all, she was just one person.
Seeing that Song Jiawen didn’t grasp what she meant, Xia Shi simply stated, “What I mean by support is, before the class meeting tomorrow, you come with me to the counselor and tell him that you also want me to be the class leader.”
There was a hint of command in her tone.
Song Jiawen looked up at her in astonishment, what is with this person.. her mind hasn’t gone muddled, has it?
Liang Yujun frowned, was she so desperate to be in charge?
Sha Yali scoffed, “Xia Shi, your wanting to be class leader is your business, what does it have to do with Song Jiawen? You’re asking her to take the lead in speaking to the counselor for you, does she look like a fool to you?”
“I didn’t think of it that way; since I chose to speak openly in your dorm, it shows I am being upfront. There are only two girls, it’s perfectly normal for me to ask for her support, right? And my being the class leader is only beneficial for her, no drawbacks. Especially in matters like joining the party, I would definitely take care of her first. So when you say me becoming the class leader has nothing to do with her, it’s not correct,” Xia Shi replied to Sha Yali nonchalantly, calmly refuting every point.
Of course, this ‘calm and rational’ refutation was her own opinion.
However, the main reason she wanted Song Jiawen to help her speak was because of her face, Xia Shi believed that with such a beautiful face, it would be hard for a young counselor to refuse.
Of course, this reason couldn’t be stated so bluntly.
Ignoring Sha Yali, she turned her head to Song Jiawen, “This isn’t such a serious matter, can’t you help?”
Song Jiawen said coldly, “Since it’s not a big deal, it shouldn’t matter whether I help or not, right? Moreover, I’m not interested in the position of class leader, so I won’t join in on this. Whoever the counselor appoints, I will support.”
That was a rejection.
“Fine!”
Xia Shi stood up straight, stared at Song Jiawen for a few seconds, and then turned and left.
“Crazy!”
Ding Yuanyuan slammed the door shut, “With a forest this big, you get all kinds of birds, how can there be such people?”
Liang Yujun pushed up her thick-framed glasses and snorted coldly, “If I’m not mistaken, the class advisor of Class One must be quite young. She’s using Jiajia to her advantage.”
“Damn!”
Even Sha Yali couldn’t help but swear, “We’re just in our freshman year, how can she be so dirty? It’s jealousy, she’s jealous of Jiajia!”
Whether she was actually jealous or not, Xia Shi’s assertiveness made everyone extremely uncomfortable.
“Is being the class president really that important?”
Song Jiawen didn’t understand. Jiang Yan became the acting class president only after the class advisor personally sought him out and offered him the position, but if he were to compete for it, he definitely wouldn’t be interested.
“That depends on how the individual sees it,” Liang Yujun seemed to have some insight into this matter, “After graduation, if you want to stay on campus or take a civil service exam, having these two characters on your resume looks very attractive. Even entering a big company, it’s very important; many HR departments value this, especially at the more prestigious universities. However, there are also many people who don’t care about it; it’s up to the individual.”
Sha Yali said, “I think Xia Shi acts like she’s been a class officer for a long time, probably a class president in high school.”
“How can it be the same as in high school now? She doesn’t think, with more than thirty people in a class, including her, only two girls, with so many boys, how could she carry out her work?”
Liang Yujun shook her head. Before school started, her dad knew that there were many boys in the physics department, so he especially reminded her not to try to be strong and become a class officer or join the student union. Just focus on your major and study well.
She had also been class president for many years prior.
Ding Yuanyuan said to Song Jiawen, “Even if there are only two girls in the class, don’t sit with her. It’s better to keep away from people like her.”
Song Jiawen nodded, “Don’t worry, I know what to do.”
….
On the afternoon of August 31st at three o’clock, almost all the freshmen received a notification to attend a class meeting in their respective classrooms.
Because the Physics Building was some distance from the freshman dormitories, Song Jiawen and the others got up at two o’clock, packed up, and headed downstairs with their backpacks.
On their way down, they saw Xia Shi walking ahead. She was wearing a loose white T-shirt tucked into light blue jeans, with a pair of white sneakers that sported a noticeable logo on her feet.
Even though her short hair made her look a bit like a boy, her outfit was undeniably youthful and pretty.
Ding Yuanyuan turned to look at Song Jiawen walking by her side: a black short-sleeved T-shirt, light gray sweatpants, feet in a pair of blue and white striped canvas shoes without any logo… Forget it, who cares what she wears? With that face and figure, she’d attract attention even in a burlap sack.
Whatever Xia Shi wore was of no consequence.
The road was crowded with people. Since the Mathematics Building was right next to the Physics Building, there were mostly male students walking in that direction. The dense green leaves were interspersed with a few flowers, extremely eye-catching.
Zhu Zhen was in the Mathematics Department, walking not far behind Song Jiawen. He originally wanted to call out to her, but seeing the pack of wolves following close behind, he thought better of it.
However, he would have to talk to Jiang Yan who wasn’t doing his job as the protector of flowers well enough.
They arrived at the Physics Building at two-forty and split up at the staircase, agreeing to wait there for whoever finished first.
In classroom 305, the moment Song Jiawen stepped in, the previously noisy room instantly quieted down. All the boys turned their heads towards the door like sunflowers to the sun.
Xia Shi was sitting in the front row, calmly looking at Song Jiawen.
But Song Jiawen didn’t look at her and walked past her to an empty corner in the third row…
