Your Highness, The Class Monitor Episode 9 Recap
> Your Highness, The Class Monitor Recap
Mr. Jiang Mu, considering Su Nian Nian's health and her request to withdraw, granted her an extended leave so she could fully consider her decision. After receiving his approval, Su Nian Nian returned to her dormitory to pack. Her roommates, Song Yuxi and Yin Chuxia, felt something was amiss, noticing she had an unusual amount of luggage, as if she wouldn't be returning.
Just before she left, Song Yuxi saw shocking news on her social media: Gu Zi Chen had publicly admitted that Su Nian Nian was his girlfriend. In a video message, Gu Zi Chen announced, "Su Nian Nian and I are indeed lovers. We broke up once due to a small misunderstanding, but now we've happily reconciled. Thank you all for your concern. When we get married, I'll be sure to give you wedding candy."
Su Nian Nian reacted with indifference to the news, not understanding Gu Zi Chen's intentions, but she no longer cared, as she was leaving the school anyway. Her roommates worried she wouldn't come back. As Su Nian Nian walked out of the school gates, she felt a pang of sadness about leaving. Suddenly, Gu Zi Chen emerged from behind some bushes, startling her. Su Nian Nian immediately questioned him about the video.
Gu Zi Chen explained his strategy was to "fight poison with poison" to get rid of the snooping reporter, Xiao Huang. He elaborated, "We're always in the limelight and gossiped about. That's why Xiao Huang was trying so hard to find evidence. But now that I've confirmed the news, he has no reason to search for evidence anymore." Su Nian Nian retorted that she was indifferent, saying, "I'm leaving this lousy place anyway.
Even if they say I'm an alien, it has nothing to do with me." She then hailed a taxi and departed, with Gu Zi Chen following in another. After a short while, Su Nian Nian got out, and Gu Zi Chen followed. Su Nian Nian quickly spotted him and demanded to know why he was following her. He awkwardly claimed he was just "walking around" and had gotten lost.
As they argued, a car sped toward Su Nian Nian, and Gu Zi Chen quickly pulled her into his arms, saving her from danger. Furious, Su Nian Nian broke free and hurried away, warning Gu Zi Chen not to follow her again. Gu Zi Chen watched her go, smiling at her spirited reaction. Meanwhile, Mr. Jiang Mu entered the classroom, creating a tense atmosphere for The Three Remarkable of Qun Ying.
They feared the school had discovered their involvement in Su Nian Nian's predicament. However, Mr. Jiang Mu gravely informed the class that Su Nian Nian was taking a long leave to recuperate at home. He also revealed that the school had intended to thoroughly investigate the incident in the equipment room, but Su Nian Nian had repeatedly requested them to drop the matter. He then addressed the students, saying, "I'm not stupid. I believe this incident was man-made.
So, I hope the students responsible feel a troubled conscience. Don't take Su Nian Nian's kindness as an excuse for your misdeeds, and don't make her pay the price for them!" The Three Remarkable were astonished by Su Nian Nian's magnanimity, something they hadn't anticipated. Her generous actions filled them with immense guilt. Despite this, Zhao Mingyuan, ever protective of his pride, asserted that it was merely Su Nian Nian's cunning plan to make them feel uneasy.
Earlier, the news of Su Nian Nian's departure spread through Xiao Huang's social media post, which showed her leaving with luggage. Many students in the class, particularly some boys, celebrated their "freedom." However, upon hearing the news, Ye Xing Yu realized that Su Nian Nian's words to him the day before had actually been a farewell, and he felt foolish for not noticing.
Later, Gu Zi Chen confided in Ye Xing Yu that he believed her leaving was a better choice, suggesting she never truly belonged there. Ye Xing Yu expressed sadness that a "simple and kind girl" like her, who only cared about studying, couldn't endure such a prank. Back home, Su Nian Nian's accumulated grievances burst forth, and she tearfully told her father, Su Dazhi, that she didn't want to study at Qun Ying University anymore.
Su Dazhi was heartbroken but knew she couldn't handle the high-intensity stress of re-studying for the entrance exams. He comforted her and then went to the kitchen to prepare a meal. Su Nian Nian observed him eating a simple meal of pickled vegetables and rice, realizing his own hardships. This spurred her decision to earn her re-study tuition fees herself. Meanwhile, Zhao Mingyuan and Zhu Cheng were engaged in an arduous part-time job, moving heavy boxes.
After hours of strenuous labor, their boss tricked them into believing the boxes contained cultural relics and that the police were coming, causing them to flee without payment. The next day, Su Nian Nian set about searching for tutoring jobs online. During breakfast, she informed Su Dazhi that she had applied to drop out and planned to work to earn her tuition for re-studying.
Su Dazhi strongly opposed her working, offering to sell their car to support her, but Su Nian Nian was resolute in her decision to be self-reliant. After she left, Su Dazhi called Mr. Jiang Mu to confirm her withdrawal. Su Nian Nian's job search proved challenging; she was often rejected once companies heard she was from Qun Ying University.
At a job agency, she was told they couldn't help high school students, despite her excellent academic record from Dong Zhou High School. With no other options, a disheartened Su Nian Nian resorted to distributing flyers on the street. While distributing flyers, she was spotted by her friend He Mei. He Mei expressed concern, offering her financial help and promising to look for tutoring jobs for her.
Su Nian Nian accepted the offer of help but asked He Mei not to tell Tang Yu about her situation. Determined, Su Nian Nian resolved to continue working. As she was heading home to cook for her father, she encountered Su Dazhi on the road, involved in a minor car accident and being pressured by the other car owner to pay for damages.
