Chapter 328: Sour
Chapter 328
After school, student Li Weijin was not going directly to the cafeteria, but was called away by the steward.
Looking at the cart full of textbooks and exercise books brought by the steward, he felt that he would probably need to apply for another dormitory, there was simply no room to put them down.
What he was facing now was not the problem of the postgraduate entrance exam, but make-up exams...midterm make-up exams...how embarrassing.
For the first time in his life, Li Weijin experienced a kind of shame that only failing students would have, it felt very humiliating.
Just yesterday he told Xiao Qi that he also wanted to take the postgraduate entrance exam, he said he had never done anything seriously in his life, he wanted to do this well.
But the next day the midterm results came out, he failed three subjects, and he was at the bottom of the entire major...he needed to take make-up exams.
While the girl he liked was the top student of the major, he felt very proud yet also very ashamed.
Should he ask the steward to find make-up exam materials for him first now?
When the young master made this request, the steward wiped the nonexistent cold sweat on his forehead quite calmly...compared to the young master’s family, the young master was actually quite normal.
Although his ambitions were a bit high.
Xiao Shengzhou, as the student union chairman, was also the first in their major for this midterm exam.
He looked very busy but his studies had never fallen behind, he handled everything smoothly.
Today the student union cadres were having a meeting. As the retiring chairman, Xiao Shengzhou would come to some of the more important meetings, although he did not appear frequently.
The midterm exam was a big event for the school. Students with good grades would receive scholarships after the exam. Although the tuition at Enhua University was very expensive, two to three times that of ordinary schools, the rewards were also very generous if you had excellent grades.
Just for the midterm exam alone, there were various scholarships.
One of the topics of today’s student union meeting was to discuss how much money to award the top three students of each major as scholarships.
Xiao Shengzhou got the list of the top three students of each major. Although it was a long list, his eyes fell directly on the name of the first place in the Information Management major, Su Xiaoqi.
The usually composed Xiao Shengzhou actually stared blankly at this name for a while, lost in thought.
In fact, he was still a little confused.
He felt his proposal was good. He was confident that he could give Xiaoqi a safe and happy life. He always made good plans. He also felt they were very compatible through their interactions, they would not feel bored or awkward together. The problem was that they had good feelings for each other, probably...but why couldn’t they be together?
As for what the girl said about feeling suddenly infatuated, with increased heart rate, did he have that feeling? He didn’t know.
At the moment when the girl rode away on horseback, he suddenly felt his heart beating exceptionally fast, as if he was sick. Thump thump thump, even when her figure disappeared, his heart was still racing.
He had yearly physical exams, and his last one was not long ago. There could be no problem with his heart.
That feeling was very strange, it came suddenly and intensely yet was not painful, just a little sour.
He had not seen Xiaoqi these last two days, but seeing her name on the list now, that sour feeling appeared again.
It was just a name.
"Chairman? Chairman?"
"Yes?"
"Chairman, should we set the scholarship for the first place at 10,000 yuan, second place 5,000, and third place 3,000, what do you think?"
A very efficient girl in front of him held a notebook and patiently repeated what she just said.
"Okay." Xiao Shengzhou regained his usual calm composure.
They continued to discuss the agenda of the meeting. It was as if he had not just spaced out earlier.
But this bit of abnormal behavior was enough to draw Li Yu's attention.
Li Yu was in her third year. She was the best candidate to become the next student union chairman, it was almost set in stone.
She was outstanding, with not only excellent grades, but also a good family background. She could do ballet, violin and piano. She majored in Finance, handled matters steadily whether big or small, Xiao Shengzhou quite appreciated this junior student.
Now he had gradually handed many student union affairs over to Li Yu.
Basically, next semester, he would formally step down.
After discussing the scholarships and the few major events arranged for next semester, the midterm exam meeting did not last long. The students had not yet developed a bureaucratic habit of meetings. They would say what needed to be said and disband after finishing.
The meeting ended, but Xiao Shengzhou still had something to deal with, so he stayed in the office. Li Yu also did not leave. She felt the chairman must have something on his mind today, it was rare to see him spaced out like that.
Sure enough, when Xiao Shengzhou finished organizing the documents and looked up to see Li Yu still there, he suddenly asked, “Little Li, what kind of guys do you girls usually like?”
Among all the girls Xiao Shengzhou knew, Li Yu was one of the rare ones with high IQ and EQ. She was very easy to get along with, he could trust her very much with tasks, but Xiao Shengzhou really could not figure out how girls think, so he could not help asking her this question.
Hearing this problem, Li Yu was stunned for a moment first, she did not expect the chairman to ask her this. She was excited for an instant in her heart. She liked the chairman, but the sensitivity unique to girls made her feel that although she got along very happily with the chairman, he did not seem to have any intention in that direction. If she confessed rashly, it would just be awkward.
From her observation, the chairman had never treated any girl specially. To say she was special, she interacted with the chairman the most among girls. The chairman asking her this question so suddenly, she was instantly excited, but soon calmed down.
He was definitely not asking about her.
With the chairman’s personality, she felt he would not fall in love with a girl. If he really liked someone, he should directly say so instead of trying to probe carefully.
So this girl was not her, there must be someone else.
At this instant, Li Yu even hated her rational analysis a little.
But she maintained a calm appearance on the surface, and seriously replied, “Does the chairman have a girl he likes?”
Xiao Shengzhou nodded without hesitation.
Li Yu continued, “Then it depends on the personality of that girl, it can't be generalized.”
What was Xiaoqi's personality like?
Xiao Shengzhou thought about it. She liked to eat, always eating a lot with great appetite, she could eat even more than him.
Very hardworking, she seemed to always be studying whenever he saw her, running and horse riding appeared to be her breaks.
With strong perseverance, she could even complete the marathon on horseback. Very persistent. He always heard Steven praising her at the riding club for learning attentively and persistently without arrogance or impetuosity.
Were these personality traits?
They all seemed to be merits. Did she have any shortcomings?
Xiao Shengzhou thought about it. She had shortcomings for sure. The girl loved money very much in particular and had no sense of security.
She would always say she participated in competitions for money.
Then she wanted to buy property as soon as she got the money, liking to buy houses, like an old-school petty landlord. He even brought Xiaoqi to see houses.
Listening to her hopes for the future, it turned out to be buying many houses to collect rent...
That could not really be considered a shortcoming in Xiao Shengzhou’s opinion, he found it quite cute.
Seeing the chairman with a profound expression, seemingly lost in contemplation, Li Yu waited a long time for him. His mouth even showed a faint smile. Seeing the usually serious-looking face reveal such a gentle smile, he seemed especially warm, yet he said, "Nothing much, just a cute girl."
Xiao Shengzhou did not intend to discuss Xiaoqi with others, and it felt a bit strange to talk about it with a girl.
Asking so suddenly just now was also a bit vexing for him, so he dropped this topic after opening his mouth.
Then he brought up the student union’s upcoming matters.
Li Yu cooperatively followed up with the conversation, but she could not shake the chairman's earlier expression from her mind. After knowing him for so long, she did not know he could also have such a gentle smile. Seeing it made her heart feel sour.
At the same time she became even more curious about the girl the chairman liked. Was she from their school?
