Once the class meeting started, the Headteacher pointed to the blackboard and said, “These are the class positions. Make sure they are all selected by tonight. Also, each position is limited to one person and will be determined using a voting system. If you want to apply for the position, go up to the front and say a few words and let your classmates decide who is most suitable for the role. Fang Yu, you are responsible for facilitating the selection.”
After speaking, the Headteacher went to a corner of the class and stood there as if what was happening in the class did not concern him.
Fang Yu went up to the front of the class, saying a few casual words before jumping straight to the point, announcing that he wanted to run for the position of class secretary.Lin Moyan was astounded. This was exactly the position he was running for! He didn’t expect a strong opponent when running for the position, but he was unwilling to back down. A good performance is the last word, Lin Moyan thought.
When Lin Moyan announced that he also wanted to run for the party secretary, Fang Yu’s eyes flashed and he couldn’t help but look at Lin Moyan a few more times. Fang Yu turned over the slip of paper for the class secretary with his name written on it and replaced the name with Lin Moyan’s.
Lin Moyan’s speech was quite good. He started by explaining that he had held a similar position in high school and had experience fulfilling the responsibilities of the class secretary. He firmly stated that he would take the role seriously and finally expressed his hope that everyone would support him. Lin Moyan was quite satisfied with his performance. He did not forget his words, did not stumble, did not flush with nervousness, and his words were organized. Anyone who heard his speech would be convinced that Lin Moyan was the ideal candidate for the position of class secretary.
However, the results made Lin Moyan’s heart fall to the ground.Three people were running for class secretary, Fang Yu, a rather cheerful girl and lastly, Lin Moyan himself. Fang Yu had the highest number of votes in 20, followed by the girl who had 10. Lin Moyan had only 2 votes and one of them was even his.
This kind of result was difficult for Lin Moyan to swallow. It was obvious that Fang Yu didn’t even say a word of seriousness, and he didn’t even show a sense of responsibility yet he received such a high number of votes. 20 votes were nearly two-thirds of the class, letting Fang Yu sit firmly in the position of class secretary.
What was so good about him? His expression was not earnest and his attitude not serious. Smiling without care all day, mixing with male and female students and Lin Moyan didn’t even know where Fang Yu came up with so many topics to talk about. Every time Lin Moyan saw him, he was either laughing or playing with people.
When Lin Moyan was in high school, he was the secretary of the class and was also the President of the Student Union.His work attitude was also serious and responsible. Although he was not as active as Fang Yu, he would not just sit back and watch if the students were in trouble.
But what kind of situation was this? Fang Yu’s support only relied on the fact that others were more familiar with him, an idiot who only sells laughter.With more time, Lin Moyan would be able to get to know his classmates better and prove that he was the most suitable for the position of class secretary.
Today’s unfair treatment only made Lin Moyan more disgusted with Fang Yu.However, Lin Moyan didn’t know that university life was like this. There were not many opportunities for people in the class to meet. If you didn’t take the initiative, no one would remember your name after a semester. Lin Moyan’s face was stretched taut until the end of the class.
After everyone left, he walked back slowly to the dormitory by himself. He was reluctant to return to the messy dorm room. If it wasn’t for the fact that the school would count the number of people every night during military training, he would have rented a house outside by himself. He had also heard that the school forbid students from staying outside the university in their first year.
After a few nights, Lin Moyan realised that several of his roommates, except for Fang Yu, had unbearable bad habits like snoring and smelly feet.
It has only been 10 days since school started, thought Lin Moyan bitterly.
When Lin Moyan opened the dormitory door, there was a strange smell mixed with the foul stench of smelly feet and the sourness of sweat. Lin Moyan had never lived in a dormitory. He either lived at home or rented a house outside the school. Initially, when applying for the college entrance examination, he wanted to apply to the local school, but his stepfather’s attitude towards him became more and more presumptuous.
His stepfather’s gaze frightened him every time and he would also confront his mother. As a result, Lin Moyan could only move his hands and feet and suffer for the sake of his mother’s feelings.
To escape his stepfather’s clutches, he could only flee from the city and come to University A. Having never experienced dormitory life, it greatly inconvenienced him.
E/N: The original translation says, “escape his stepfather’s coveting of him” which I interpreted as his stepfather had ill intentions towards Lin Moyan.
There was no shower in the dormitory so he could only go to the public bath to shower which was impossible for him. In the end, he could only flush himself with cold water in the toilet every night.
It was still hot now, but the night would surely turn colder as autumn progressed. It was alright to wash with cold water now at the risk of catching a cold.
Because of his unusual body, his life in the dormitory could now be described as frightening. Every time he went to the toilet, he had to lock the door, and every time Lin Moyan changed his underwear, he had to enter the bathroom.
Several of his roommates suspected that he was doing “right-hand exercises” and even premature ejaculation inside! After all, it didn’t take long to go to the toilet and change underwear.
Lin Moyan thought of Fang Yu’s new position and was even more annoyed. He trudged back to the dorm, ready to face the idiot who only smirked with a haughty look. Lin Moyan knew he had to adapt to the new life at university. He sighed in exasperation, “When will this end?”
