The young man had a pair of long legs that were particularly eye-catching. He wore a school uniform that looked like it was high-end. There was a faint smile on his face, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
Especially after seeing a certain someone, that smile deepened.
“Good morning, Merit Student.”
He Jing ignored him and walked past him.
Yan Hanxi quickly grabbed her wrist. “Where are you going in such a hurry?”
“To the teaching building.”
“Hmm?”
He Jing pushed his fingers away and left in a hurry.
Yan Hanxi, who thought that their relationship had improved, was speechless.
He Jing arrived at the class teacher’s office. The class teacher had been waiting there for a long time. He was very excited to see her. He Jing asked directly,
“Teacher, you were looking for me?”
The class teacher said, “Student He Jing, I have an important task for you. You’ll be giving the speech for the flag-raising ceremony this morning as the student representative.”
“Why?”
Usually, these things were pre-arranged.
Moreover, the school leaders seemed to be conducting an inspection today.
The official notice on the school forum had been released as early as last Thursday. It also asked the students to pay attention to their appearance and to present themselves in high spirits on Monday.
“The originally planned student representative is not feeling well and can’t go on stage. After a serious discussion, the academic affairs team unanimously agreed that you are the most suitable.”
He Jing was expressionless. She felt that something was wrong.
Then, the class teacher said, “Also, other than the school leaders, the city leaders are bringing foreign education experts for a visit today. Therefore, the higher-ups hope that the student representative this morning will give an off-script speech in English. Student He Jing, you are the number one student in the school and the pride of the entire Yin High School. Other than you, no one else can shoulder this heavy responsibility.”
He Jing was speechless.
She thought, “Giving an impromptu speech in English in front of foreign education experts? Did the academic affairs team consider her some kind of deity?”
“Student He Jing, I know that this request puts you in a difficult position, but other than you, the teachers can’t think of anyone else. You can keep it short, even if you can’t speak well, it doesn’t matter…”
He Jing took a deep breath and sighed. “Okay, I understand.”
Wasn’t it just an impromptu speech in English? She had passed CET-6 before she transmigrated, so her ability shouldn’t be wasted.
At this moment, there was a knock on the office door. A young and clear voice lazily came from outside. “Teacher, you said that other than Student He Jing no one else can shoulder this heavy responsibility. Have you forgotten about me?” The class teacher and He Jing turned their heads to look.
They saw the young man leaning against the office door frame with his school bag slung over his shoulder, his long slender legs crossed, displaying a leisurely and carefree posture.
He smiled, a lazy and elegant smile that resembled a rich playboy.
The class teacher was stunned for a moment before he was overjoyed. “Yan
Hanxi, are you willing to give a speech on be of half Student He Jing?” Yan Hanxi looked at He Jing and raised his eyebrows. “Hmm?”
The class teacher was so touched that he was about to cry. Although He Jing was the new top student in the school and had the experience of giving speeches in Chinese as a student representative, she wasn’t sure about her English proficiency.
However, Yan Hanxi had actually won an English speech competition trophy. English was like his second mother tongue. Not only was he fluent, but his refined London accent was delightful. If it weren’t for his special status, the academic affairs team would have probably considered him the first choice.
Unexpectedly, Yan Hanxi was willing to step forward.
Too touching!
