In Every Life [Jenlisa]

Chapter 15

Haishi No. 1 is a high school that values diversity. The school not only offers special classes but also holds many regular competitions every year.

This year, the school is preparing for an English speech competition for the second-year students.

Each class has two spots for registration, and the class with the first-place winner will receive an extra 20 points in the final class evaluation.

During class, the homeroom teacher, Lin Yue, announced the news and encouraged interested students to sign up with Jennie after class.

However, the students lacked enthusiasm for the competition, and by the end of the morning, no one had signed up.

December in Haishi was already in the midst of winter. The plane trees outside the classroom were already bare, adding a touch of desolation to the surroundings.

When Jennie arrived at the classroom in the afternoon, only a few scattered students were sitting inside.

The girl sitting diagonally in front of Jennie looked around and turned to her, saying, "Jennie, I want to sign up for the English speech competition."

"Okay," Jennie nodded and filled out the registration form with her name.

The girl's name was Song Xinyu, and she sat with Krystal, also a member of their clique.

Jennie didn't know them well and didn't want to talk to them much. After adding Song Xinyu's name, she silently lowered her head to review the afternoon's homework.

But Song Xinyu didn't turn away.

"Do you have anything else to ask?" Jennie asked.

Song Xinyu shook her head, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, "Um, I want to ask you, besides me, who else signed up?"

Jennie looked at the empty registration form and said, "No one, just you."

Song Xinyu's lips curled up slightly, and a hint of joy appeared on her plain face.

"Okay, thank you," she said.

Seeing her turn her head, Jennie secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The speech competition was next week, and the script needed to be written by oneself and then submitted to the teacher for revision, so time was a bit tight.

After school that day, Jennie was called to the office by the homeroom teacher, Lin Yue.

"We only have one person signed up for our class?" Lin Yue frowned as she looked at the empty registration form.

She wore a pair of oval-shaped black-framed glasses, and her black hair was always neatly combed. When she frowned, she looked terrifyingly strict.

Jennie was a little afraid of her, but just nodded silently.

"What's going on?" Lin Yue pursed her thin lips. "Each class needs to send two people. If there's no one else, then you'll have to go."

"???" Jennie was taken aback and instinctively refused, "Teacher, I can't do it. I'll get nervous with so many people. Why don't you find someone else?"

She had no interest in English speeches, and with practicing the piano and studying every day, she simply didn't have enough time to think about these things.

In her past life at this time, she had already returned to the advanced class, where her classmates were very enthusiastic about this competition, so she was not needed at all.

It was already after school hours, and most of the teachers in the office had already left. Lin Yue tapped her desk heavily with her fingers.

"You played the piano in front of the whole school before, and you weren't nervous then." Lin Yue calmly said, "The class needs you now, and since I made you the class representative, it's only right for you to go to this competition."
