Lu Haoran gave an embarrassed smile, not daring to make a sound.
He could feel that Tang Yan was a bit angry, but he didn't know what he had done to upset her.
Didn't I follow Zelin's advice and come early to wait for her? What did I do wrong?
Tang Yan raised an eyebrow, about to say something.
"Xiaoyanzi, Lu Haoran!"
A graceful figure approached from afar, it was Qin Shiqing.
Seeing her good friend, Xiaoyanzi forgot to scold the honest guy and happily said, "Shiqing!"
"Sorry, have you been waiting long?"
Several parties agreed to meet at eight thirty, Qin Shiqing came ten minutes early, yet she didn't expect Lu Haoran and Tang Yan to arrive even earlier.
"It's fine, we just got here too!"
Tang Yan linked arms with her best friend and started chatting warmly, her previous annoyance quickly forgotten.
After another ten minutes, it was already past eight thirty, and there was still no sign of Su Zelin.
"Why is that guy so slow?"
Tang Yan grumbled discontentedly.
"Maybe he got stuck in traffic."
Qin Shiqing speculated.
"Hmm, possible. Why don't we find a payphone and call him to ask?"
Xiaoyanzi nodded in agreement.
"Let me go, let me go!"
Lu Haoran hurriedly ran to the nearby phone booth.
But just as he took out the IC card and was about to dial, the figure of Su Zelin appeared in the distance.
The slacker was too easy to recognize, just the way he swaggered with his hands in his pockets was already annoying.
"Hey, you're early!"
As he greeted them, Su Zelin's gaze instinctively fell on Qin Shiqing.
Today, his childhood friend was wearing a diadora hooded sweatshirt in a primrose yellow color, casual yet stylish, paired with matching brand sneakers full of girlish charm.
Since there were many places to visit today, sportswear was more convenient.
Girls these days weren't like those in later generations who always thought about posting photos on social media and demanded to dress beautifully no matter the occasion, even wearing tight clothes and high heels for hiking.
Qin Shiqing mainly valued comfort in her attire, but with her tall and good figure, even loose sweatshirts still looked pleasing.
"Early my ass, look at the time! Su Zelin, we agreed on eight thirty, you're five minutes late. As a guy, you're making us girls wait for you, don't you feel ashamed?"
Tang Yan complained with an annoyed look.
Su Zelin withdrew his gaze and shrugged, "What's wrong with waiting five minutes? Didn't you say men and women are equal? If guys can wait for girls, why can't girls wait for guys?"
"Uh, well..."
Xiaoyanzi was at a loss for words.
Her seventeen years of expertise were met with an unexpected martial arts master who deflected her argument back.
"Besides, if someone is late, there's definitely a reason. You didn't even bother to understand the situation before scolding me! Do you know what happened to me this morning? Can't you first care about why your friend was late?"
Seizing the advantage, Su Zelin continued to bombard Xiaoyanzi, who instantly lost her momentum.
Could it be that he encountered some trouble?
"What happened to you this morning?"
"I forgot to set my alarm last night, so I woke up late this morning!"
"You... drop dead!"
Xiaoyanzi nearly fainted from anger.
She thought he had run into a big problem, which caused his tardiness today.
If I, Tang Yan, ever care about this person again, I'm a dog!
"Alright, Xiaoyanzi, it's just a few minutes late, don't let it ruin the good mood for today!"
Qin Shiqing felt speechless.
Xiaoyanzi knew she couldn't win against her childhood friend, but she just liked to spar every time they met.
She was asking for trouble.
The honest guy also defended his buddy, "After all, Zelin is the class monitor now, he has to handle many things for the class, it's understandable he's a bit busy."
"What, class monitor?"
Qin Shiqing and Tang Yan widened their eyes in surprise.
"Yeah, Zelin is their class monitor, didn't he tell you?"
Lu Haoran was puzzled, thinking Su Zelin must have told Qin Shiqing, and Qin Shiqing would tell Xiaoyanzi. He didn't expect both of them to be clueless.
"Su Zelin, you as a class monitor, is this a joke?"
Xiaoyanzi forgot her anger, her face had an expression like the sun rose from the west.
Any person from the high school senior year class 2 who heard this news should react the same way.
"If you can become a teacher, why can't I be a class monitor?"
Su Zelin's rhetorical question confirmed Lu Haoran's words in front of the two girls.
Qin Shiqing and Tang Yan finally accepted the fact, although a bit incredulous.
"Are the students in your class blind?"
Xiaoyanzi shook her head continuously.
One couldn't blame her for doubting Su Zelin.
Anyone familiar with the slacker would probably have the same mindset.
Including Su Zelin's own parents.
After all, their son really didn't seem like someone who could be a class monitor.
"What made you want to be a class monitor?"
Qin Shiqing was quite curious, "It doesn't seem like your style."
She knew Su Zelin well, as a childhood friend he was carefree and hated trouble.
Being a class monitor, aside from enjoying others' respect, meant taking on responsibility for all the affairs of the group.
Clearly, this went against the slacker's free-spirited nature.
Su Zelin shrugged, "In college, there's more free time, so I just wanted to find something to do in my spare time!"
"If someone like you can be a class monitor, I really pity your classmates, they might have a chaotic class under your lead!"
Xiaoyanzi mocked.
Not caring how Su Zelin got to this position, she didn't think the slacker had the ability to manage a class.
"Let's wait and see then!"
Su Zelin smiled slightly.
If he couldn't even manage a class of dozens, then President Su might as well give up.
Qin Shiqing was full of expectations.
From childhood to now, as long as Su Zelin wanted to do something, he never failed.
Now that he's a class monitor, she wondered if he would achieve something remarkable once again.
