Chapter 37: The Decision to Participate!

  And the original C class, if following the usual rules, even if they lost once, when their main players returned, and then won all the way to the final three, according to the points, they could have entered the finals. But this time's single-elimination format made C class miss the opportunity for the championship!

  This suffocating situation, combined with S class's abandonment, didn't even give them a chance to show their strength. So when Cheng Xiaoyu represented S class in the next round of drawing lots, some C-class students blocked her way and said discontentedly: "If you're going to abandon it anyway, why bother coming over to draw lots? You might as well just forfeit directly!"

  "What does our class have to do with you?" Cheng Xiaoyou looked at the several girls in front of her with unfriendly faces, Class C had already advanced smoothly, why did they come here to cause trouble for her!

  "How can there be no connection? If it weren't for you guys, how could the rules of this competition have been changed!" a girl from Class C said indignantly.

  "Are you questioning the fairness of the game? Or do you think that the school temporarily changed the rules just to prevent us from winning?" Cheng Xiaoyou was not intimidated by their momentum, showing her strong side, and retorted against them without being polite.

  She now represents not herself, but the entire Class S. She can retreat, but Class S cannot!

  In the future, Class S will surely stand proudly in front of everyone.

  Looking at the C-class students who were stunned by her words, Cheng Xiaoyou continued to say calmly: "If you really think so, you can go and appeal to the teachers inside! Why block my way here? Or is it that in your eyes, bullying the weak and fearing the strong is a common thing?"

  "What did you say, how dare you say we're bullying the weak and fearing the strong?!" The girls in Class C couldn't believe she actually dared to fight back. Wasn't it rumored that this girl was timid and cowardly, disliked by Gong Shao, and directly transferred to Class S?! And wasn't it said that when someone poured water all over her before, she didn't dare say a word? Now she's actually arguing with them?!

  "Isn't that right? The ones who changed the rules in the end were the student council of our grade, and most of its members are from Class A. Why don't you go find Class A, which set the rules, instead of coming to us, Class S?" Cheng Xiaoyou retorted bluntly at the several girls standing in front of her with an intimidating attitude.

  。

  She initially came to Shengyu, knowing nothing about this school, and had thought of being kind to people. However, it seems that kindness is useless in Shengyu. In order to stand up straight and not be bullied, she can only learn to express her attitude strongly first.

  "Who made you give up on the competition?!" said a girl from Class C, resentful that their class didn't get to show off.

  "What does it have to do with you whether we give up or not? Will the outcome change if we don't give up? Since your class will win anyway, why bother about how they win?" Cheng Xiaoyu had enough of these people who only knew how to criticize, and pushed away the girl in front of her: "Sorry, excuse me, I still need to go draw lots!"

  "How dare you push me?!" The girl who was pushed by Cheng Xiao You hated her so much that she went forward and gave her a hard push from behind, making her stumble and almost fall to the ground.

  Seeing that Cheng Xiaoyou didn't fall, the girl was still not satisfied and followed up to push and shove her again until she pushed her down at the entrance of the lottery room.

  "You stinky girl, don't think you're safe just because you're in S class! Just looking at you makes me disgusted!" The other girls who saw her fall couldn't help but gather around to kick her a few times.

  "You...!" Cheng Xiao You suddenly turned her head to look at them, her eyes filled with intense hatred. They were really too much, resorting to violence when they couldn't win an argument! She was really about to lose her patience!

  "What about us?" The girls said loudly, one of them even squatting down and provocatively slapping her face.

  "Shut up!" The door of the lottery room was suddenly opened, and Gong Chen looked at the outside scene with impatience, his eyes cold to the point of making people tremble.

  "Palace, we didn't mean to, you're busy in there!"

  "Yes, we just saw our classmate fall and wanted to come over and help!"

  As they looked at Gong Chen's increasingly cold gaze, the girls could only stiffly smile and apologize with a nod before quickly leaving.

  "You're the last piece of the puzzle!"

  A cold voice full of blame, without any sympathy for her situation.

  Cheng Xiaoyou looked at Gong Chen incredulously, this guy was too heartless! But then he saw him finish speaking and directly turn around to shut the door, completely ignoring her miserable state of being thrown to the ground.

  。

  Getting up from the ground, dusting off the dirt on her body, Cheng Xiaoyou walked into the drawing room with a somewhat unsteady gait, her determination to win this time growing firmer by the minute. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to stay in such a school. Especially, she must let that always poker-faced Gong Chen see that things in this world are not decided by him alone.

  As it was already the third round, only 8 classes came to draw lots, with 4 classes drawing the winning lot and 4 classes drawing the elimination lot.

  After Cheng Xiaoyou came in, she heard complaints around her ears. "It was said that the lottery would be drawn at five o'clock, but she really has no sense of time and made us wait for a quarter of an hour."

  "It's all the same, since we're all going to give up in the end, why bother coming over to draw lots!"

  Accusations swirl around her ears, as if she has always been the target of public criticism. Except for the current S class, there isn't a single person in Sheng Yu who doesn't dislike him.

  However, Gong Chen, no matter where he went, was always surrounded by a crowd of admirers.

  It's just like now, although he still has a cold face, but everyone is waiting for him to draw the first lottery with great respect. It seems that no matter where he appears, it is naturally the most noble.

  Cheng Xiaoyou ignored the complaints around her and focused on watching the lottery drum, the mouth of which was just large enough for one hand to reach in, and the slips inside were also the same size, making it impossible to cheat.

  It looks like this drawing is relatively fair, everyone draws a slip from it, and there's no place to make marks.

  Gong Chen ignored the surrounding discussions, finished drawing the lottery and showed it to the teacher, then left directly. Because he drew E class, the sign of E class was taken out with A class, and the remaining two classes were naturally grouped together, omitting the lottery procedure for other classes.

  Cheng Xiaoyou was excluded by everyone this time because he was late, and the remaining three classes finally decided to cut the stone with scissors to decide on a winning class to draw lots and determine the elimination group's combination.

  Finally, Cheng Xiaoyou knew the grouping results and returned to Class S. Everyone looked at her with expectant faces, but she remained expressionless.

  Everyone's heart sank at once.
