Your Highness, The Class Monitor Episode 3 Recap
> Your Highness, The Class Monitor Recap
Gu Zi Chen found himself in a difficult situation when Zhang Haiyang accused Zhu Cheng of using Gu Zi Chen to boost his own status. Gu Zi Chen clarified that he and Zhu Cheng were indeed classmates at Qun Ying University, a place Zhang Haiyang's friend disparagingly referred to as a "third-rate university."
Fortunately, another friend, realizing Su Nian Nian also attended Qun Ying, stepped in to defend the school, describing it as one that highly values student development and has strict requirements. This saved face for Gu Zi Chen and surprisingly impressed Zhang Haiyang and his friends, who then invited Gu Zi Chen to bond over drinks. Meanwhile, Zhu Cheng, after encountering Gu Zi Chen at the classy ballroom where he was working, felt the stark disparity in their lives.
He confided in his friends about the significant gap between people and questioned whether fate was predetermined. His friends encouraged him to work hard to change his destiny. Distressed, Gu Zi Chen drank heavily at the reception and became completely intoxicated. Concerned, Gu Zi Chen's mother decided against taking him home to avoid his father's wrath and instead put him in a taxi, instructing the driver to take him safely to school.
By coincidence, the taxi driver was Su Nian Nian's father, Su Dazhi, who mentioned his daughter also attended Qun Ying University. Despite Su Dazhi's attempts to converse, the unconscious Gu Zi Chen remained unresponsive upon reaching the school gate. Su Dazhi, unsure what to do, considered calling his daughter.
Earlier, Su Nian Nian had received a call from Tang Yu, who encouraged her to study hard and join him at Peiching University, solidifying her resolve to drop out of Qun Ying. Later, Su Nian Nian called her father, intending to discuss her decision to drop out and asking him to pick her up. Su Dazhi, still at the school gate, told her to come out and help him with a drunk student.
Upon arriving, Su Nian Nian immediately recognized the intoxicated student as Gu Zi Chen, her nemesis, declaring she would know him even if he were "burnt to ashes." She angrily accused him of being the hit-and-run driver who had also publicly labeled her a "con artist" in front of the entire class. She insisted on taking him to the police station. Su Dazhi, however, cautioned her against acting rashly without evidence, especially given Gu Zi Chen's inebriated state.
Su Dazhi expressed sympathy for the young man, believing he must be troubled, but Su Nian Nian countered, calling Gu Zi Chen her "enemy." Since Su Nian Nian was new to the school and unfamiliar with the dormitories, they decided to take Gu Zi Chen to the reception office. After Su Dazhi departed, Su Nian Nian decided against mentioning her plan to drop out, seeing how tired her father was.
She was then accosted by the reception attendant, who mistakenly assumed Gu Zi Chen was her boyfriend and demanded she clean up his vomit. Despite her protests, the attendant chastised her for being "cold-hearted," forcing Su Nian Nian to reluctantly comply. As she cleaned, Gu Zi Chen mumbled for water and suddenly grabbed her hand, pulling her onto him. Infuriated, Su Nian Nian called him a "rascal" and a "pervert."
In an act of revenge, she used a pen to draw on his face, prominently writing "Handsome" on his forehead. The next morning, Gu Zi Chen walked across campus, confused by the widespread laughter directed at him. His narcissistic initial thought that it was due to his handsomeness was quickly dashed when The Three Remarkable of Qun Ying—Zhao Mingyuan, Zhu Cheng, and Chen Yuan—appeared, also laughing. They sarcastically complimented his "charming" face.
Gu Zi Chen rushed to the restroom, where his reflection revealed the prank. He realized he had been "ambushed" while "blacked out" and demanded that Ye Xing Yu, who arrived chuckling, help him identify the culprit before asking for face wash. Meanwhile, in the girls' dorm, Yin Chu Xia returned, startling Su Nian Nian and Song Yuxi. Yin Chu Xia jokingly referred to Su Nian Nian as the "glasses girl who fought the cold demon," highlighting her newfound notoriety.
Later, Song Yuxi convinced a reluctant Su Nian Nian to try the Teacher's Dining Hall. There, they inadvertently overheard their future teacher, Jiang Mu, being publicly broken up with by his girlfriend, Na Na. She criticized his low salary and the simple handwritten card he had given her for her birthday.
When Su Nian Nian and Song Yuxi tried to discreetly leave, claiming they saw nothing, Jiang Mu, embarrassed, sternly told them that as students, they should "seek truth from facts." Later, Su Nian Nian had another unpleasant encounter with Gu Zi Chen, who called her "Four Eyes" and implied she was seeking his forgiveness.
She retorted that he was delusional, and he in turn accused her of being responsible for the drawing on his face at the reception office, which she angrily denied. The first class for Mechanical Class II began, and Su Nian Nian and Song Yuxi were surprised to discover that The Three Remarkable, Ye Xing Yu, and Jiang Mu, who was their form teacher and main subject lecturer, were all in the same class.
Gu Zi Chen arrived late, and Jiang Mu instructed him to sit next to Su Nian Nian, much to her chagrin. The two immediately began bickering. As Jiang Mu led the class in self-introductions, He Xiao enthusiastically shared his dream of becoming a stylist. The Three Remarkable pledged to live up to their name, and Ye Xing Yu offered a friendly greeting. Gu Zi Chen, when introducing himself, claimed he returned from abroad because he "didn't learn anything."
Song Yuxi humorously stated that she only knew how to eat. Yin Chu Xia was absent. During the lecture, Su Nian Nian tried to reclaim her space by nudging Gu Zi Chen with her elbow. He deliberately pulled his arm back, causing her to lose balance and fall onto him, eliciting gasps from their classmates. Gu Zi Chen smirked, remarking, "Girls nowadays pounce on men."
Jiang Mu, noticing the commotion, chose to focus on the class's "high energy" and continued his lecture. After class, Jiang Mu called Su Nian Nian out for a private conversation, while The Three Remarkable announced their intention to get their "boss" elected as class monitor.
