"I always say, how could a bourgeois young lady have much awareness? She probably spends every day thinking about dressing up and enjoying herself, right?" Liu Xuelian said gleefully.
"And to think, if it weren’t for our beloved soldiers fighting hard at the front, could a bourgeois lady like you live so comfortably? Truly heartless!"
Liu Xuelian, gleefully stabbing at Sisi, kept calling her ’bourgeois lady’, which ignited a fire in Sisi’s heart. Narrowing her eyes at Liu Xuelian, she thought, ’First, I’ll deal with Chang Yunhuan, and then I’ll take care of you, you wretch.’
Other classmates like Song ngshi echoed similar sentints, mostly criticizing Sisi for her lack of awareness and pursuit of pleasure, which was deed shaful.
Chang Yunhuan looked on proudly as the class collectively denounced Sisi. He Sisi, you’re getting your couppance today! This is what you get for opposing !
"Classmate He Sisi, having heard what everyone said, do you really feel nothing? Are you really so selfish and cold-hearted?" Chang Yunhuan said, not mincing his words.
Zhu Yunxiu and Mo Liu anxiously watched Sisi. Yun Xiu tugged at her clothes and whispered in her ear, "A wise man does not fight when the odds are against him; just agree for now, there’s no need to provoke everyone."
Sisi gave her a reassuring smile, stood up, and asked Chang Yunhuan lightly, "Then may I ask Class Leader Chang, how do you plan to conduct this eting?"
"Of course, it is to praise our brave soldiers. Don’t those respectable and lovable soldiers deserve to be praised?"
"Surely they deserve it, but, Class Leader Chang, no matter how loudly you sing their praises here, those respectable soldiers can’t hear you. Isn’t this just a waste of everyone’s ti?" Sisi scoffed.
Chang Yunhuan was taken aback, "This is a gesture of our goodwill, the soldiers at the front will feel it."
"I suggest, Class Leader Chang, that you could go to the front line yourself to convey your heartfelt reverences to those soldiers; they would definitely deeply feel the admiration from student Chang Yunhuan."
Our soldiers are fighting bloodily at the front, what use are your few songs of praise? Better if you went to the battlefield and sang a few lines yourself!
Chang Yunhuan was stunned, this was not going the way he expected!
"What? Do you, Chang Yunhuan, think it’s inappropriate to personally go to the front and sing praises for our respectable soldiers? Could it be that Class Leader Chang only dares to sing from the rear? Are you afraid of death?"
Sisi pressed on, each word landing with weight, leaving Chang Yunhuan speechless and his face flushed, stuttering in defense, "How could that be? I’ve submitted a petition; how could I be afraid of death?"
"Then why are you still standing here, Chang Tongchang? Was your petition written only in red ink?" Sisi mocked.
"How could that be? It was written with my own blood. I’m not at the frontline because the school did not approve my request."
"Tsk, tsk, Class Leader Chang can’t possibly be just two years old. If you truly have a heart filled with passion, nothing can stop us from stepping forward to defend our nation. Class Leader Chang, it seems you’re only good for show, aren’t you?"
Chang Yunhuan found himself unable to advance or retreat, caught because he had written that petition knowing well that the school would never send students to the battlefield; it was a way to show stance without any personal loss—such a profitable deal, yet now brightly exposed by Sisi. Chang Yunhuan felt like a naked clown standing there for everyone’s amusent and ridicule.
Sisi’s words resonated with many male classmates, leading them to a mont of contemplation, although Sisi herself did not notice this.
Having dealt with the Phoenix man, next was Snow Lotus. She walked up to Liu Xuelian, standing 10 centiters taller, allowing her to look down upon this Snow Lotus, feeling quite good.
"Liu Xuelian, what right do you have to talk about ? One of my uncles and six of my brothers are currently fighting in the front lines, their life or death unknown. I care about this war more than anyone! I am concerned about the situation at the front, how many of our soldiers are injured or dead? Are my relatives still alive? Who among you can understand this feeling?"
Sisi’s words earned solemn respect from all her classmates, none of them had imagined that He Sisi’s family had so many mbers on the front lines, truly a family of heroes!
"He Sisi, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have spoken about you like that, I apologize to you, and I also express my respect towards your uncle and brothers!" A male student first apologized to Sisi, and other classmates followed suit, their faces also showing a hint of sha.
Sisi didn’t make a big deal out of it. What she despised more were the two contemptible people, Liu Xuelian and Chang Yunhuan, especially Liu Xuelian; this ti, she must utterly destroy her.
Liu Xuelian was shocked by Sisi’s words; she hadn’t expected Sisi to have so many relatives in the war. At this ti, having family mbers on the front lines was highly respected.
She was just about to say sothing to ease the situation, but Sisi did not give her a chance to speak, "Liu Xuelian, may I ask how many people from your family are on the front lines? From what Liu said earlier, it seems the n in Liu’s family must be quite the heroes?"
Liu Xuelian felt ashad; could she admit that no one from her family had joined? How could she even say it?
Seeing the look on Liu Xuelian’s face, the classmates naturally guessed the answer; thinking back to how Liu Xuelian had righteously criticized Sisi earlier, they felt sowhat disdainful towards her.
Sisi sneered, "It seems like not a single person from Liu’s family has joined! Tsk, tsk, this is Liu’s patriotism, truly eye-opening!"
"My family has no one in the war because we don’t have any soldiers, but that doesn’t an we aren’t patriotic, He Sisi, don’t talk nonsense."
Liu Xuelian for once spoke cleverly, and her explanation was very reasonable, with so classmates in the class nodding in agreent, thinking that their families too had no one fighting in the war.
"Hmph, protecting the country is not just the responsibility of soldiers, as mbers of this great family, everyone has a duty to defend the territory and repel foreign enemies. Is Liu just paying lip service?"
Liu Xuelian was pushed to a state of confusion by Sisi, "Of course not."
"Then show it with actual actions, don’t just say pleasing words!"
"Let’s do it then, isn’t it just going to the battlefield to kill enemies? I can also hold a gun and defend my holand," Liu Xuelian blurted out in a rush of blood.
Only after speaking did Liu Xuelian realize she had played right into Sisi’s hands; what was she, a girl, doing talking about entering the battlefield? She had never even touched a gun before! Wouldn’t she just be going to her death? Could she take it back?
"I look forward to seeing Liu bravely fighting the enemy on the battlefield, let’s all applaud Liu’s righteousness!"
Sisi wouldn’t give Liu Xuelian a chance to back out, clapping first, with other classmates dumbly following suit.
Liu Xuelian, cornered, shouted loudly: "He Sisi, don’t just talk the talk, show so sincerity too!"
Sisi scoffed, articulating each word: "As long as Liu dares to go to the battlefield, I, He Sisi, will definitely accompany her to death!"
Liu Xuelian, it’s on you to see if you dare to follow through?
