Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 478: Chapter 492: Cultural and Art Gala

Packing up their things, Lu Yi went to the cafeteria with Xiao Xiao for a meal before heading to the classroom for the first evening self-study session of the new term.

As soon as they reached the classroom door, they heard lively chatter inside.

No wonder, there were too many topics for classmates to catch up on after a whole vacation.

An Ran walked straight to her seat and sat down, just as the class teacher, Tang Huacheng, walked in.

Tang Huacheng looked to be under thirty, dressed in a well-tailored light-colored suit, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses that added a touch of elegance and warmth to his appearance.

It’s said that he returned from M Country after earning a PhD in Clinical Medicine from the renowned SUS Medical College, and originally had the potential to make a mark in the medical field but chose to teach in a university instead.

Their class was his first batch of students.

”Quiet down, everyone,” Tang Huacheng’s deep voice echoed, and the classroom gradually fell silent.

”Welcome back to school, everyone. The vacation is over, and what lies ahead is a more intense academic journey. Additionally, there is something very important that I believe you all already know—this semester, the Medical Department will undergo a subject division.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the classroom immediately buzzed with murmurs again.

Not rushing, Tang Huacheng waited for a while and then continued, ”As is customary, there’s a leadership inspection before the subject division. To prepare for this inspection, the school has organized a cultural performance to showcase the brilliance of our Medical Department. Each class will present an item and our class, being a key class of the department, has the privilege of having our representative deliver the speech before the performance.

Before the vacation, I had mentioned that the speaker would be selected based on academic performance. Now, I will announce the selected speaker.”

Tang Huacheng’s gaze swept over the students below, seeing their serious expressions, finally resting his eyes on Lu Yi, ”The male speaker will be our class president, Lu Yi.”

Upon hearing this news, the students all gave a knowing expression. After all, Lu Yi’s academic achievements in the class were unparalleled—not only in the class but also during the exams in the first half of the year across the entire Medical Department, he consistently ranked first without ever coming second.

The girls who heard the news were thrilled. Sharing the stage with Lu Yi, what an honor that would be?

Not to mention, just standing side by side with the school heartthrob was euphoric enough.

Remember during the freshman representative selection, Lu Yi was one of the chosen few. That selection was across the entire academy, where many girls with influential backgrounds secretly tried to pull strings with the principal just to have the chance to stand on the same stage as Young Master Lu.

This time, the selection was within the class, narrowing the scope further, and more importantly, based on academic performance. Isn’t it about whoever scores best gets the opportunity?

For a moment, the eyes of several academically excellent girls in the class sparkled with pink bubbles as they looked at Lu Yi.

Then Tang Huacheng continued, ”The female speaker will be our classmate An Ran.”

As soon as the class teacher finished speaking, the classroom erupted.

”Why is it her?”

”It might be reasonable, considering An Ran’s consistent good grades.”

”To be honest, whose idea was it to select speakers based on academic performance? It feels like someone is being sidelined.”

”Shh, don’t say that recklessly. Do you still want to stay in school? Sigh, had I known earlier, I would have studied harder last semester. Maybe I could have had a chance to share the stage with the male idol too.”

”It’s not just sharing the stage, don’t forget, the speech requires collaboration, which means rehearsals are inevitable.”

”Ahhhh... stop talking! I’m going to buy some regret medicine.”
