Seeing the way Guo Ming looked so proud, Gu Chen felt ashamed for him.
If it were him coming in last every time, he would definitely find a manhole, jump inside, close the cover, and vanish from the face of the Earth forever…
“Hey, fatso, what are you staring at?”
Once the guy returned to his seat, although his wretched expression remained the same, there was something unsettling about his gaze.
Gu Chen felt strangely creeped out, especially after that bizarre dream he’d had.
“Hehe, nothing.”
“I just feel like… Big Brother, you look, uh, more delicate this semester. You look even more like a woman than before.”
Guo Ming continued to size him up.
He had actually felt this way back in the dormitory, but he hadn’t been entirely sure.
After all, having lived together for two years, they basically had no secrets, so he hadn’t really thought in that direction.
But as time went on, he could more or less sense a difference.
“If you want to die, I can grant your wish right now!”
Gu Chen snapped, his eyes sharp enough to kill and his voice ice-cold.
“I was just joking! Not another word, I won’t say another word!”
Guo Ming shrank back in fear and suppressed his doubts, quickly changing his tune.
Otherwise, he really might get thrown into the school pond to feed the fish.
Although he didn’t show it on the surface, Gu Chen couldn’t stop the shock in his heart.
This beast’s perceptiveness really wasn’t something an ordinary person could possess.
He was naturally gifted—that saying about his eyes being like a ruler wasn’t just a boast.
If this was true, wouldn’t he eventually be exposed in the dormitory?
Recalling that nightmare again, Gu Chen nearly gagged on the spot…
‘No, I have to find a way. Ideally, I need to get rid of Guo Ming. I can only keep my secret if I live alone,’ Gu Chen plotted, a frown creasing his brow.
On the podium, after Li Yanqiu finished announcing the grades, she continued to explain the study plan for the semester.
It had to be said that she was a truly competent homeroom teacher.
Simply being beautiful wasn’t enough to make the entire class behave.
The key was that she had a wonderful personality and great respect for her students, often taking their side.
Not to mention the boys; even the girls supported Li Yanqiu.
She was basically the legendary “other people’s teacher.”
“Next is the appointment of class officers for this semester.”
At this final stage, everyone held their breath.
All the boys looked on with anticipation, hoping their applications would be approved.
The reason was simple: once you became a class officer, you had to report to her daily with work summaries.
To put it bluntly, it was a chance to spend more time around Teacher Li.
Just talking to her felt like pure bliss.
“Wow, I wonder if my application for the Art Class Representative will be successful. How has Teacher Li not discovered my talent yet?”
Guo Ming rubbed his hands together, actually looking forward to something for once.
‘If you become the rep, every single piece of art in the class will end up being eighteen-plus!’
Gu Chen knew exactly what was on the guy’s mind.
This representative was responsible for the weekly classroom blackboard posters, which were uploaded to the school forum.
The most popular ones not only received rewards but also served as a criterion for the weekly model class evaluation.
Therefore, the themes were generally positive and uplifting.
If it were truly handed to him, the school would probably be investigated for distributing pornography!
“First, the position of Class Monitor will continue to be held by Tang Ziya.”
As Li Yanqiu made the announcement, the position was settled without question.
After all, she was the only one in the entire class qualified for it.
Next were the Vice Monitor and the various subject representatives, which were mostly filled by the students with the best grades.
When it was announced that the Art Class Representative was not Guo Ming, the guy nearly collapsed his entire mass of fat onto his desk.
“The heavens are unjust!”
Guo Ming complained, his eyes welling with tears.
After a full round, the roster was basically the same as last semester’s.
Only two positions had changed people.
Gu Chen had absolutely no interest in listening to any of this.
It had nothing to do with him.
He stared at his palm and clenched his fist.
After his conflict with Tang Ziya before class, he had discovered an even more troublesome matter: his strength was beginning to drain away.
Over the past two years, Gu Chen had been more than capable of handling any attacks.
But ever since the heavy bleeding incident and his complete transformation, his physical strength had actually begun to shift toward female attributes.
Just exchanging a few moves with Tang Ziya had left him feeling physically exhausted.
Although his speed and reflexes remained, his hardware was definitely struggling to keep up.
‘Damn it, if this continues, will even a fatso like Guo Ming eventually be able to push me around?’
Realizing this, Gu Chen’s fists trembled slightly.
He had to find a way to compensate, or he would be exposed sooner or later.
“Holy crap!!”
A sudden exclamation from the classroom made him look up from his deep thoughts.
Scanning the room, he saw that the eyes of every student in class were fixed on him.
He was instantly confused, having no idea what was going on.
‘Strange, did I get blamed for something again?’
“Gu Chen, well? Do you agree?”
Li Yanqiu asked from the podium with a beaming smile.
“What was that?”
Gu Chen blinked.
He had been spacing out the entire time and hadn’t heard a word.
But out of habit, he stood up and shouted, “Teacher Li, I’ve been framed! I didn’t do it!”
Usually, nine times out of ten, Tang Ziya was framing him for something.
He definitely wasn’t going to admit to anything.
During the summer break, that woman had even told the class group chat that the exhibitionist flashing women was Gu Chen.
It seemed she was going to complain in front of the teacher this time.
Naturally, Gu Chen denied it resolutely.
Never mind the fact that he would never do such a thing; even if he wanted to, he no longer had the equipment to pull it off…
*Pfft —*
Li Yanqiu couldn’t help but let out a laugh.
She explained, “I said that you will be serving as the PE Class Representative this semester. Do you have anything you’d like to say?”
“Me?”
Now that he understood the truth, Gu Chen was incredibly shocked.
He would have preferred to believe that Tang Ziya was framing him as an exhibitionist.
With his reputation as the school’s demon king, who would dare appoint him as a class officer?
Even getting a student ID card was only because the school was obliged to provide a compulsory education!
“That’s right. If you have no objections, then it’s official,” Li Yanqiu confirmed again.
Before Gu Chen could refuse, Tang Ziya couldn’t take it anymore and suddenly stood up.
“Teacher!” she said angrily.
“How could someone who bullies his classmates, collects protection money, forces himself on girls, commits arson and murder, does every evil imaginable, and acts as an exhibitionist outdoors possibly become a class representative?!”
(Well then, she really did pin the perverted exhibitionist thing on Gu Chen.)
*Siss —*
Hearing Tang Ziya list his crimes, even Gu Chen couldn’t help but hiss in surprise.
“Tang Ziya, why don’t you say I used a cigarette to burn an alien’s butt on the moon?”
Even though Gu Chen was used to it, it didn’t mean he accepted it.
“What? You did that too?”
Tang Ziya was stunned.
She actually… she actually believed him!
