In this chapter, the reader is introduced to a new character named "Tang zhong" . He is a student at Minsheng High School in Shanghai, China. He has just been elected to the class president by the other students in his class. He wants to be the president of the class, but he is afraid that he will be defeated by the best student in the class: "the best freshman" , as he calls him. He tries to make fun of this fact by saying that he is the best freshman in the whole world, and that he deserves to be elected president. He also says that he wants to make a joke about the fact that the other student, "lu yifei," is more domineering than him, and he hopes that his name will be enough to get him elected. He then goes on to say that "if there is no one else," then he can count the votes and see who gets more votes than him. The final result is that "love hua-ming" is elected as the sports committee member with 16 votes, and "julian nanxin" wins the literary and arts committee with 27 votes. In fact, "tang-zhong" has 36 votes, which is more than any other student. The two students then meet again on the tennis court, and this time, they play two rounds of tennis. This time, "su shan" defeats "tang xin" in one game. This is the first time that the two students have ever played tennis together, and they feel very familiar with each other.
