Liu Yu finished speaking, bowed, stepped down from the stage, and sat back in his seat. He straightened his chest, lifted his head, and avoided eye contact, trying to give everyone a good impression. However, he was already anxious in his heart and wanted to see how others would react.
“I should be stable now, right?”
Liu Yu thought that Pei Fei was just a worthless person and not worth worrying about.
“Next is the voting session!”
Gu Qingxiang placed a cardboard box on the lectern and handed out the prepared slips of paper. “Anonymous voting!”
“Write down the name of the person you support and come up to vote.”
“Let’s begin!”
Everyone looked at each other, and a few people looked at Lin Baici.
Lin Baici wrote down Pei Fei’s name on the slip of paper and looked around. No one moved, so he didn’t care and went up to the stage to vote.
As soon as he made a move, others started moving too.
“Three students, please come up and count the votes!”
This was to ensure fairness and prove that there was no cheating.
“I’ll do it!”
Ji Xinyan raised her hand and stood up without waiting for Gu Qingxiang’s approval. She walked towards the stage.
Compared to other students who were submissive in front of the instructor, Ji Xinyan was much calmer because she never thought that an instructor was so powerful.
Pei Fei had to avoid suspicion and couldn’t go up.
Finally, Fang Mingyuan and a girl named Tao Nai went up to count the votes.
Ji Xinyan stood in front of the ballot box and reached out to grab a slip.
She opened it and was stunned.
“Ji, count the votes!”
Gu Qingxiang urged, as she still had to go to other classes for the class committee elections, and time was tight.
“Lin Baici!”
Ji Xinyan said loudly and showed it to Fang Mingyuan and Tao Nai.
Whispers immediately filled the classroom because Lin Baici had clearly stated that he didn’t want to be the class monitor, but some people still voted for him.
But everyone understood this mentality.
It was just a class committee election, and more than half of the people didn’t care. They didn’t know that being a class committee member could easily lead to joining the student union or the party. They simply chose based on personal preferences.
Besides, it was an anonymous vote.
“Stay calm, it’s just a technical adjustment!”
Liu Yu comforted himself.
Ji Xinyan took out the second slip.
“Lin Baici!”
“Lin Baici!”
…
Five slips in a row, all with Lin Baici’s name.
Liu Yu couldn’t help it and burst out, “Damn it, are these people all idiots? He clearly said he didn’t want to be the class monitor, why did you still vote for him?”
Liu Yu was getting angry!
Pei Fei smiled bitterly and regretted volunteering.
“Liu Yu!”
Liu Yu heard Ji Xinyan calling his name and his spirits lifted.
Here it comes! The counterattack is about to begin.
He stared at Ji Xinyan’s lips, which were coated with lipstick, wishing she would say “Liu Yu” ten times in a row.
“Lin Baici!”
“Pei Fei!”
“Pei Fei!”
Ji Xinyan continued to read the names.
When the number of votes for Lin Baici exceeded 16, the atmosphere in the classroom became noisy. Everyone was discussing and occasionally glancing at Lin Baici.
There were a total of 32 students in Class 01, including 13 girls.
Lin Baici received 16 votes, which meant that even if he didn’t get any more votes, he would still be the highest vote-getter for the class monitor position. Even if Pei Fei or Liu Yu took all the remaining votes, they would only tie with him, and this possibility no longer existed.
Ji Xinyan stopped counting the votes and turned to look at Gu Qingxiang.
Because it was meaningless now.
“Lin Baici, what do you think?”
Gu Qingxiang was surprised. She didn’t expect Lin Baici to be so popular.
“Old Bai, since everyone values you so much, you should take the position!”
Zhang Zhixu shouted.
Many boys also started persuading him.
Liu Yu’s face turned awkward, and he clenched his hand under the desk.
Qian Jiahui looked at Lin Baici and understood the reason for this situation.
Everyone was a freshman, and they hadn’t even talked to each other much since the beginning of the school year. Not to mention that the boys and girls were not familiar with each other, some boys hadn’t even spoken to Liu Yu.
Lin Baici was well-known among the girls because of buying water during military training, shooting a mad dog, and reciting Buddhist scriptures at the welcome party. As for the boys, they knew him as a gambling expert when they played cards together.
Not to mention that he was also good at basketball!
And Lin Baici’s Alienware laptop worth tens of thousands of yuan was lying on his bed without a password. It was usually played by Fang Mingyuan. Occasionally, Qian Jiahui would invite people to play games on it. Everyone was initially worried that they would damage it, until Qian Jiahui said something.
“If Old Bai cares, he wouldn’t casually leave it on the bed.”
Lin Baici had seen others playing on it several times, but he didn’t care. He even stood by and watched. This generosity and openness also earned everyone’s admiration.
Who wouldn’t want an excellent, open-minded, and approachable class monitor? At least it would be more comfortable than being managed by someone like Liu Yu, who was blowing his own trumpet.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Everyone applauded.
“So, the class monitor position is decided!”
Gu Qingxiang smiled lightly, making Xu Daguan, who had been secretly glancing at her, secretly think that she was indeed extraordinary. If only he could pursue her.
Damn it, he could brag for a lifetime.
“Damn it!”
Liu Yu was annoyed. He felt that these people were all blind and no different from being blindfolded.
The following positions were elected in a somewhat routine manner.
Pei Fei as the Youth League branch secretary, Fang Mingyuan as the sports committee member, and Liu Yu, who looked like a top student, became the academic affairs committee member.
As he listened to everyone applauding, Liu Yu felt ironic, but he held back. He believed that with Lin Baici’s frequent nights out, he would make a mistake sooner or later.
“When the time comes, I will take back everything I lost!”
Liu Yu secretly vowed.When it came to the position of the literary committee, there unexpectedly appeared fierce competition between Ji Xinyan and Bai Jiao. Among the girls, more people voted for Ji Xinyan, probably because they thought Bai Jiao was too aloof.
On the boys’ side, more people voted for Bai Jiao because Ji Xinyan’s dressing style didn’t match his identity as a freshman. Everyone preferred a sweet girl rather than Ji Xinyan, who was more like a tea girl.
In the end, Ji Xinyan lost by only three votes.
“The selection of class committee members is now over. Let us congratulate all the members of the class committee and hope that you can lead the class and experience a colorful college life!”
After Gu Qingxiang finished speaking, she left the classroom, leaving time for the students.
“Hey everyone, should we create a class group?”
Xu Daguan’s social prowess started acting up again, and he went straight to the girls’ side to ask for their WeChat IDs.
“Indeed, a popular anchor has confidence!”
This scene made Zhang Zhixu envious to the point of drooling.
“He has to ask for it himself. Both my Baici and Jiahui had others take the initiative!”
Fang Mingyuan teased Lin Baici and Qian Jiahui.
“Class monitor, where’s the red envelope?”
Xu Daguan smirked, “Let everyone share the joy, right?”
Lin Baici didn’t say anything and directly sent five 100 yuan red envelopes in the class group.
Xu Daguan: Class monitor is generous, wishing you good kidneys and a good appetite.
Legend23: Take it easy, don’t go wild now, drink porridge next month.
Sunrise: I can have a chicken leg tonight, thanks class monitor, I’ll kowtow to you!
“Let’s change our nicknames to our real names, okay?”
Pei Fei suggested, she looked and saw that Legend23 was Fang Mingyuan, and Sunrise was Zhang Zhixu.
“The red envelopes are too big!”
Some people felt embarrassed to snatch them. After all, everyone was a student, and they were spending their parents’ money. Being so extravagant wasn’t appropriate.
Dream Chaser: Let’s keep the excitement going.
After saying that, ten consecutive red envelopes were sent, each containing 100 yuan!
Many girls clicked on Dream Chaser’s profile picture. Although there were no clues, they felt that this person should be Qian Jiahui, the second generation.
Liu Yu also wanted to send red envelopes, but Lin Baici and Qian Jiahui had made such a big fuss that he felt small if he sent a small amount, and he felt heartbroken if he sent a large amount.
Lin Baici had also considered this issue and quickly remedied it.
Lin Baici: Oh, I was too busy thanking everyone for their enthusiasm and accidentally sent too many. Don’t learn from me, I’m feeling so heartbroken now!
Everyone heard Lin Baici’s self-deprecating words and made jokes in the chat, lightening the mood of the other class committee members.
Lin Baici: If you want to send red envelopes, at most ten yuan, just to show your intentions, don’t send more!
Lin Baici: This is the first fire after becoming class monitor, you must listen!
Because of this statement, Bai Jiao looked deeply at Lin Baici.
Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he had finally gained some advantage from Lin Baici.
Pei Fei sent a ten yuan red envelope in response to Lin Baici’s call.
Although Lin Baici had money, he couldn’t show off at this time. Otherwise, it would make the other class committee members lose face. So he called out to Qian Jiahui.
Lin Baici: Qian the tycoon, send a hundred yuan red envelope to wrap it up.
He knew that Qian Jiahui wasn’t short of money. Every night, he would spend thousands of yuan on live broadcasts. Qian Jiahui hadn’t been throwing money around in the group chat because he wasn’t a class committee member and felt he didn’t have the qualifications.
Now that Lin Baici had said this, he felt face and immediately sent a red envelope of one thousand yuan.
Dumpling: Isn’t this a bit inappropriate?
Fang Mingyuan: Don’t worry, instead of letting the rich tycoon Qian give money to those female anchors he hasn’t even met, it’s better to give us an extra meal.
Even Hu Wenwu knew that in Qian Jiahui’s eyes, spending a few thousand yuan was the same as spending a few cents. He couldn’t be bothered to remember any amount that wasn’t in the tens of thousands.
Qian Jiahui: I’ve actually met them.
This sentence made the boys envy him even more. Look at him, he didn’t care at all about how the girls saw him. No matter how he acted, there would always be someone chasing after him.
Xu Daguan: How about we have dinner together tonight?
Zhang Zhixu: That’s a great idea!
Qian Jiahui: Let’s go, my treat!
The tycoon’s words were always so domineering.
Pei Fei: Let’s wait until the weekend, today is too rushed.
Bai Jiao: We can do it on the last day of the National Day holiday.
After some discussion, they decided to have dinner together on the seventh afternoon of the National Day holiday.
There was a class at four o’clock, English.
Everyone went to the classroom in groups of two or three, and there was constant chatter in the group chat, especially from Xu Daguan, who was as active as a rabbit in heat.
Although the English teacher was not a woman, Lin Baici was very serious in his studies. He would have to go abroad to explore God’s Ruins in the future, and not knowing English would be very inconvenient.
Speaking of which, during the winter vacation, should he study Goryeo language to prepare?
Although Jin Yingzhen would definitely be his guide and she wouldn’t deceive him, it would be much more convenient if he knew some himself.
During the break, a girl wearing jeans, sneakers, and a hoodie arrived.
She was holding two cups of milk tea and sat down directly next to Lin Baici.
Swoosh!
Everyone’s gaze turned towards them.
It was Zhu Qiunan, the girl Lin Baici had saved before.
“I’m afraid of getting fat!”
Lin Baici was at a loss. What was this girl trying to do?
To be honest, Zhu Qiunan was quite beautiful. Taking the initiative to bring him milk tea greatly satisfied his vanity.
But the problem was, Lin Baici was a bit flustered. He had no idea how to respond to a girl who was making a move on him.
“I want mine sugar-free!”
Zhu Qiunan’s voice was calm.
“…”
Lin Baici turned the milk tea around. Damn, it really was sugar-free.
He should have said he liked it with sugar earlier.
“Classmate Zhu, you already thanked me last time, there’s no need to do it again!”
Lin Baici didn’t make a fuss and placed the milk tea next to him, ready to take it later.
Zhu Qiunan didn’t say anything. Seeing that Lin Baici moved, she took the milk tea first, inserted the straw, and then pushed it in front of Lin Baici.
“I swear, is this girl interested in the class monitor?”
Zhang Zhixu envied and commented in the group chat.
Zhu Qiunan, the most beautiful girl in the freshman year, and she was also a top student. Her college entrance exam score was the highest among the new students, a perfect combination of looks and talent.
Fang Mingyuan: Be bolder, remove the ‘not’!
Zhou Zhou: “Why didn’t the class president agree? Surely he can’t be turning down all girls of this caliber?”
Everyone wanted to know why.
In their own class, Ji Xinyan and Bai Jiao were both excellent, but one seemed too reserved, and the other too proud, both were the type of girls who would never chase after a man.
Zhu Qiunan had lowered her stance considerably.
“I want to invite you to dinner tonight!”
Zhu Qiunan glanced at Lin Baici.
“If I don’t agree, will you come again?”
Lin Baici was curious.
“Yes!”
Zhu Qiunan’s answer was firm and decisive.
Lin Baici was stunned, could this girl be a yandere?
[What are you afraid of? You’re not going to get pregnant!]
Food God’s comment: [Or are you saying you can’t even afford an abortion?]
[As a predator at the top of the food chain, when the prey is delivered to your mouth, you actually don’t eat it? Are your full set of teeth just for show?]
“Fine, let’s have dinner together tonight!”
Lin Baici agreed.
“Great, six-thirty, I’ll wait for you at the east gate!”
After Zhu Qiunan finished speaking, she got up and left.
Liu Yu: “Class president, seize the day, it’s time for you to get a girlfriend!”
Liu Yu did this on purpose, with this remark, other girls, especially Bai Jiao and Ji Xinyan, would definitely have a significant drop in their affection for Lin Baici.
When class was over, Lin Baici packed up his books and headed straight for the east gate.
“Envious, the class president might have a fiery night tonight!”
Xu Daguan sighed, money is a good thing, but some girls still don’t understand the power of money, they value looks more, and this is something Xu Daguan lacks.
…
At the east gate of the school, Lin Baici arrived fifteen minutes early, but when he arrived, he found that Zhu Qiunan was already there.
“I’ve booked a dumpling restaurant, if you don’t like it, we can change to another one!”
Zhu Qiunan looked at Lin Baici.
The sky was getting dark, the street lights and moonlight mixed together, shining on Zhu Qiunan’s melon-seed face, making her black pupils look like water.
“This one is fine.”
Lin Baici found that when Zhu Qiunan looked at people, her gaze never dodged, it was always direct, sharp, like a knife.
This was a girl with a rather tough personality.
The two walked to the dumpling restaurant without saying a word.
Zhu Qiunan was used to the silence, while Lin Baici didn’t know what to say.
After all, the girls he knew were all good at expressing themselves, so they always led the conversation.
The two entered the dumpling restaurant, went to a private room, and ordered.
Two dishes, a pound and a half of dumplings, two bottles of drinks.
“Is it enough?”
Zhu Qiunan didn’t ask if Lin Baici liked the food, but if it was enough.
“It’s enough!”
Lin Baici didn’t like to waste.
Soon, the food was served.
Lin Baici thought it would take more than an hour to eat, but it was done in fifteen minutes. During this time, Zhu Qiunan didn’t say anything extra except for refilling Lin Baici’s tea.
This left him completely baffled.
“It seems I was overthinking, she didn’t plan to chase after me, she just wanted to invite me to dinner, to thank me!”
After Lin Baici had this realization, he felt much more at ease.
They paid the bill, left, and walked back to school.
When they reached the school gate, Lin Baici stopped: “I’m planning to go to Yonghui Supermarket to buy some things, do you want to come?”
Lin Baici felt that it could end here, he couldn’t possibly escort Zhu Qiunan back to her dormitory, could he?
“No, I’m going to evening self-study!”
Zhu Qiunan’s words made Lin Baici feel a bit embarrassed.
As expected of a top student, she was much more disciplined than him, who was just muddling along.
“Then, goodbye!”
Lin Baici left, he had walked more than thirty steps, when he subconsciously looked back, and saw Zhu Qiunan still standing there, watching him.
Zhu Qiunan waved at Lin Baici when she saw him turn his head.
“What on earth does this girl want?”
Lin Baici didn’t understand, he was just humoring Zhu Qiunan, but she didn’t leave, so he had no choice but to go to the supermarket.
He pushed a shopping cart and started a big sweep.
When he passed by the liquor section, he unexpectedly saw Ji Xinyan.
The tea girl had put two green bottles into her shopping cart.
The bottles were labeled in Korean, which Lin Baici didn’t understand, but he knew it was called soju.
What was this for?
Was she upset because she didn’t get elected as the art committee member?
“Ji Xinyan!”
Lin Baici walked over.
The tea girl was buying alcohol and was caught by Lin Baici, but she wasn’t embarrassed at all: “Weren’t you having dinner with the top student girl?”
“We’re done!”
Lin Baici also casually picked up a bottle of soju: “Is this stuff good? Is the alcohol content high?”
“You’re done?”
Ji Xinyan was shocked, she subconsciously glanced at Lin Baici’s lower body, she really wanted to ask, class president, you’re not impotent, are you?
It’s only 7 o’clock?
You’re done eating? And after dinner, you didn’t even go for a walk or something?
The top student girl gave you a chance,
And this is how you respond?
Damn!
Could it be that Lin Baici likes men?
“Let’s go, I’ll treat you to milk tea!”
Lin Baici wanted to repay Ji Xinyan for helping him choose clothes.
“Milk tea is too sweet, let’s drink this!”
Ji Xinyan picked up a bottle of soju and shook it, she originally planned to find a restaurant and drink alone, but since Lin Baici came to her, they might as well drink together.
Ji Xinyan didn’t care about being a class committee member or not, but being outdone by Bai Jiao made her unhappy.
Baby is sad, baby needs a drink!
