Chapter 208 The Battle for College Mate Selection Rights
"Let's organize some games for everyone first," Ning Xiao suggested.
"Okay, playing games can quickly bring everyone closer together."
None of the class leaders had any objections.
After discussing it, they decided to play musical chairs.
The rules are simple: five boys and five girls are chosen to walk around nine chairs. The referee plays music on his phone, and when the music stops, everyone starts scrambling for a chair.
In each round, one person will be eliminated because they can't grab a chair. Then, one chair is removed from the game, and the process continues until only one person is left with a chair.
Ning Xiao will serve as the referee, while Lu Yuan and the other class monitors will go to their respective classes to pick out people to play with.
People reacted differently when they learned they were going to play this game.
The outgoing students were very enthusiastic and eagerly raised their hands to sign up.
Those who are introverted remain silent; they may want to participate, but simply lack the courage to raise their hands and sign up.
"Let's pick a few highly motivated ones who are always ready to help, and a few more introverted ones who will offer attentive care. Is that alright?" Lu Yuan suggested.
"Okay, that's a good suggestion."
Everyone nodded in agreement and began to go to their respective classes to call out names and select students.
Lu Yuan's team consists of four people, which is just enough for him to choose two men and two women.
"Anyone who wants to play, raise your hand?" Lu Yuan asked, standing in front of the whole class.
"I!"
"I'll do it."
Several people showed great interest and actively raised their hands to volunteer.
Xu Lingjing did not raise her hand, but smiled and looked at Lu Yuan, probably wanting to see if Lu Yuan would choose her.
However, Lu Yuan did not intend to choose her, mainly because she was not very enthusiastic, and he didn't know if she wanted to play, and also to avoid suspicion.
After all, many people know that the two of them know each other. If Xu Lingjing is directly called out in the first game, it will inevitably make people feel that he is deliberately favoring Xu Lingjing, which may cause other students to feel dissatisfied.
Lu Yuan first picked out a man and a woman he was very interested in, then looked around, and finally fixed his gaze on Ouyang Yue.
Ouyang Yue probably wanted to play, but she didn't have the courage to raise her hand, so she sat there awkwardly, not very noticeable.
"Ouyang, count you in," Lu Yuan said.
"Me?"
Ouyang Yue pointed to herself, quite surprised.
"What's wrong? Don't you want to play?"
"No, I can do it. I want to play."
Ouyang Yue quickly nodded, got up and walked over.
Then Lu Yuan searched around and his gaze fell on his three roommates.
The three of them got together but didn't show anything. They usually fantasized about finding a partner in college every day in their dorm room, but they didn't dare to express themselves. How could they find a partner like that?
So Lu Yuan came over and asked, "Can one of you three lend a hand to me, the male class monitor?"
"I can't," Liu Yujie quickly shook his head, refusing repeatedly.
Zhong Daming lost even more confidence in himself and shook his head.
Wu Kun wanted to refuse as well, but he was too late. Lu Yuan pulled him up and said, "Brother Kun, it's you."
"I...I'm not very good at it."
Wu Kun was very hesitant, probably because he wanted to participate but was afraid of losing face.
Lu Yuanzhen couldn't stand a grown man being so coy, so he leaned closer and whispered, "Girls like guys who are willing to show off. You're always building up your muscles, but what's the point if you don't demonstrate your strength?"
"Well..."
Wu Kun seemed slightly hesitant.
Lu Yuan added, "I guarantee that if you play this game and win, a lot of girls will remember you. Wouldn't that guarantee you a perfect partner in college for the next four years?"
"Really?"
Wu Kun was very tempted.
"Would I lie to you? I've been there, I know."
"Okay, I'll play then."
Wu Kun was overjoyed and quickly went to prepare.
His change in attitude was quite comical, which drew laughter from everyone.
Soon, the three classes had gathered ten people, five boys and five girls. Ning Xiao took out her phone and selected the theme song of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" as the background music. "Listen up, everyone. Use the music on my phone as the reference. As long as the music keeps playing, you keep spinning around. As soon as the music stops, grab it immediately. But I need to remind everyone, safety first, competition second."
After a pause, making sure everyone was ready, she turned on the music and announced, "Start!"
"Don't underestimate me just because I'm a sheep; sheep are incredibly intelligent..."
The music began to echo across the playground, stirring everyone's hearts.
Everyone couldn't help but cheer for their classmates, and the atmosphere immediately became lively.
Ten seconds later, Ning Xiao suddenly stopped the music. As soon as the music stopped, the ten people rushed to grab chairs.
After a period of chaos, a rather introverted boy from Class 3 was unfortunately eliminated.
It wasn't that he couldn't get it; he could have. But a girl also wanted the same chair, and after a brief struggle, he showed his gentlemanly manners and gave the chair to the girl.
Although he was unfortunately eliminated first, his sportsmanship earned him everyone's approval and he received applause.
The game entered its second round, with nine people vying for eight chairs.
The process was the same, with another ten-second or so of music playing. When the music stopped, the chaotic scene continued, and this time a girl was eliminated.
A girl was eliminated in the third round, and another girl left in the fourth round...
In the final round, only two people and one chair remained.
The last two remaining are Wu Kun and Ouyang Yue.
Perhaps no one expected that they would be the ones left until the end.
If you look closely, you can actually see some clues.
The reason they stayed until the end was because Wu Kun was big and agile. As soon as the music stopped, he would lock onto a chair and sit down, and no one on the field could budge him.
Ouyang Yue, on the other hand, has a relatively low profile and always manages to find a position with less competition.
After she sat down, others saw that she was a frail woman sitting there, and they felt embarrassed to push her anymore.
"Kun made it to the finals?"
Liu Yujie was stunned, and in his heart he thought Wu Kun was awesome.
Wu Kun was strong and powerful, two heads taller than Ouyang Yue, and more than twice the size of her.
If they insist on taking it, Ouyang Yue has no chance of winning.
However, no one was too worried, thinking that Wu Kun would definitely show his gentlemanly manners and give way to Ouyang Yue.
Wu Kun looked at Lu Yuan with a slightly smug look in his eyes, clearly showing off to Lu Yuan that he had really made it to the finals.
Lu Yuan secretly gave him a thumbs up, acknowledging his strength, and hinted that he should go easy on Ouyang Yue.
Wu Kun has already demonstrated his extraordinary physique; if he were to finish by showcasing his gentlemanly manners, he would surely leave a very good impression on the girls.
Wu Kun looked at Lu Yuan's hint, thought for a moment, and seemed to understand. He nodded firmly, indicating that he knew what to do and would not let people down.
Thus, the final round of the competition began.
As the music started, Wu Kun and Ouyang Yue began to circle around the last stool.
Wu Kun was very confident, his steps were steady, and his eyes were fixed on the stool in the middle.
Whether it was because she was unaccustomed to being the center of attention or because she was too nervous about the finals, Ouyang Yue's steps were noticeably flustered. However, she kept her eyes on the chair, ready to grab it at any moment.
The onlookers held their breath, expecting Wu Kun to give way to Ouyang Yue, but they also wanted to see how well Wu Kun handled the situation and whether Ouyang Yue could seize the opportunity.
This time, Ning Xiao deliberately prolonged the music time, whetting everyone's appetite.
She only stopped abruptly when the time was right.
Although Ouyang Yue was nervous, she was still very competitive. Seizing the opportunity, she prepared to turn her back and sit down to grab a seat.
She was determined to win.
However, just as she was about to hit the stool, a powerful force struck from behind, and by the time she reacted, her body had already been uncontrollably thrown away.
Snapped!
Ouyang Yue staggered forward two steps, lost her balance, and fell heavily onto the grass of the playground, landing face down.
"Depend on!"
Lu Yuan was helpless, covering his face as if he wanted to cry, completely impressed by Wu Kun's "high emotional intelligence".
