Chapter 165: Cautious with Words
Being stared at by people is actually a kind of pressure.
The gazes usually contained expectation. You’d feel nervous if you were put under the pressure of too much expectation.
At this moment, President Wang was nervous.
What the hell should I do?
Should I stride up and make a grand speech?
Or should I be quiet and observe?
He was torn between the two options. Each had its own advantages and disadvantages, and it was hard to decide.
Wang Yan pondered as he walked up but couldn’t make a decision. He simply let nature take its course.
The classroom was not big, with only fifty sets of tables and chairs in it. It took only ten steps to walk from the last row to the podium.
It was clearly only a short distance, but for some reason, Wang Yan’s mind flashed with the scenes since he had obtained the system, as well as his life before that.
Although it was only a month, it felt like a lifetime.
The once green youth had once been sensitive, extreme, and had a strong self-esteem that was close to the sense of inferiority.
But now he was open-minded, confident, and proactive. He was growing toward the sun and had a bright future ahead of him.
The contrast was clear.
It was mainly due to the system, but his own hard work played a role in it, too. It was hard to separate the two.
All of a sudden, Wang Yan wanted to say something seriously.
He didn’t expect everyone to understand. He just wanted to be serious and talk to himself, to his classmates, and to the future.
The desire to talk was so strong that it made Wang Yan’s heart sing.
F*ck! F*ck!
Wang Yan began to organize his words.
…
In the eyes of the entire class, Wang Yan’s shoulders were straight and his steps were relaxed. His expression was neither arrogant nor pompous, looking as if he was just taking a stroll in the room.
His eyelids were slightly lowered, as if he was deep in thought. His entire person exuded a rare calmness, as if he was a smooth gem lying peacefully in the stream.
Nothing outside the stream could affect him in the slightest.
Although he was wearing a silly t-shirt, a pair of knee-length casual shorts and a pair of ordinary canvas shoes, he oozed a powerful self-confidence.
At this moment, all the girls were attracted by Wang Yan’s calmness, confidence, and serious expression, and they stared at the youth in wonder.
Their hearts were suddenly filled with anticipation… What would he say?
After organizing his words in his head, Wang Yan stepped onto the podium. He used two seconds to look around the classroom and smiled gently.
The smile disappeared as soon as it appeared, and his temperament returned to calmness.
As Wang Yan spoke in a deep and magnetic voice which conveyed sincerity to everyone present.
“Hello, everyone. My name is Wang Yan. Wang means passion while Yang means caution with words.”
He began the speech with the interpretation of his name, telling everyone his character at the same time. The eyes of those who understand the method lit up.
The most important part of the self-introduction segment was the first sentence. The best method was to introduce one’s character and personality by interpreting one’s name.
Wang Shouzhong, for example, was very good at it.
Of course, Wang Yan’s interpretation of “Passion and caution with words” was much better than Wang Shouzhong’s “Keeping one’s body as chaste as jade”.
The word “passion” spoke of his temperament, while the words “caution with words” spoke of his principles. Together, they formed his character.
The above words were enough for Wang Yan to introduce himself to anyone.
…
Disregarding people’s gazes which were either observing, scrutinizing, anticipating, or appreciating, Wang Yan continued at his own pace.
“Teacher Wu, please allow me to introduce myself.
“Fate brought us together. I’m grateful to be part of the group and I am very willing to open my heart and show everyone everything about me, good or bad.
“Also, I’ll try my best to accept everything about you guys, both good or bad.
“The time for me to speak here is short, and the next four years are long. Whether we can be friends depends on whether I am doing well or not, and it also depends on whether you are willing to accept me.
“Alright, I will leave everything to time.
“I personally think that the four years of university life is our last romance before the real adventure begins.
“We must make it warm, interesting, positive, and beautiful, otherwise we’d waste our most beautiful time of our life.
“I sincerely hope that many years later, when we recall this journey, we will smile with tears in our eyes and feel grateful.
“That’s all. Thank you, everyone.”
Wang Yan bowed and left the podium. The classroom was silent for a moment before a thunderous applause erupted.
Whether a person was handsome or not was the first impression. It depended on the person’s face and figure.
To decide whether a person was cool or not took much more time. It depended on how the person behaved and talked.
Wang Yan’s maturity and wisdom, as well as his passionate attitude for life, were like a chocolate bomb. It exploded with a bang, and a rich fragrance immediately engulfed everyone present.
Immediately, the shock wave swept over them, stirring their hearts.
The boys from Room 303 did not know how to express their excitement and joy. They immediately started cheering, clapping wildly, and whistling.
“Brother Wang is the best!”
“…”
The girls gathered in small groups, whispering to each other.
Pah Pah Pah!
It was only the first day of school, and everyone was innocent, so were their whisperings.
All in all, their impression and curiosity for Wang Yan skyrocketed in an instant.
People used to say that “Woman have no interest in men who are not bad”. In fact, what it really meant was that “Women have no interest in men who are not strong”.
Being bad meant being strong, aggressive, and easy to provoke girls’ emotions.
Being strong was the core of attraction, which was a much stronger attraction than being bad.
…
Wang Yan returned to his seat and sat down. As expected, he was warmly welcomed.
The other guys from Room 303 felt so proud as if they were also in the limelight.
Xu Tianci from Room 304 felt a little bitter. He wailed in his heart: why put me and Wang Yan in the same room?!
He was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred… uh, hatred was something he didn’t dare to have. He was afraid.
He congratulated with some resentment and bitterness, “Brother Wang, you’re awesome!”
And he could not say another word after that.
SOB, sob, sob, he just wanted to cry!
Beside the podium, Wu Chengjian finished clapping and took the opportunity to give another round of summary.
“Wang Yan’s speech was very good. He described the essence of our university life in a language as beautiful as a poem, conveying a simple but sincere emotion…”
Bala Bala, Bala Bala.
Brother Jian, you’re a f*cking graduate of the Chinese Language major and the main force of the school debate club, right? !
After a long time lecture, he finally got down to business. “Girls, who wants to run for the other positions to serve the class? Please come up!”
He had thought that girls would be more introverted, reserved, and shy. However, perhaps inspired by Wang Yan’s speech, the girls were all quite eager to participate.
The first girl who came up to the podium was a round-faced cute girl who looked very outgoing.
“My name is Lou Lou. I want to run for vice class monitor. Student Wang Yan’s speech just now touched me deeply…”
After her finished, a beautiful girl with long legs and slim waist came up.
“My name is Bai Zijiao, Zi as in Ziyan. Jiao means beauty. I’ve studied ballet and piano since I was little, and I want to run for the Arts Committee…”
After that, another beautiful girl with an astonishing height and figure walked up.
“Hello, everyone. My name is Tang Butian. I’m a quiet and introverted person who loves calligraphy. I want to… I want to run for the Arts Committee. I didn’t have the courage to go on stage initially, but Wang Yan’s words just now touched me deeply…”
The boys were stunned, their eyes widened.
On one hand, they were surprised at the quality of the girls in their class.
The three girls went up one after another. In different aesthetic systems, the evaluation standards might be different, but one thing that was certain — the three girls were all great beauties.
On the other hand, they were surprised at the situation.
Why did it feel like..,
“Eh… Why does it feel like a fancy flattery show?”
Like Jade scratched his chin and fell into deep thought.
The Dutch Potato curled his lips and snorted disdainfully. “Look at that Bai Zijiao. Zi as in Ziyan… Ziyan can represent many characters, which one does she mean? B*TCH, B*Tch!”
The others also looked at Guo Ziyi with a strange look in their eyes.
Potato, why does it sound a little weird?
Anyway, every girl on stage was full of emotions, and many of them mentioned Wang Yan.
It was obvious that Wang’s words were a great encouragement for them.
In the end, after everyone who was interested to run for the class cadre finished expressing their intent, Brother Jian came up to speak again.
“Class, so our class monitor should be…?”
Director Wang suddenly had a bad feeling.
Immediately, 80% of the students shouted in unison…
“Wang Yan!”
…
