"It's getting late, let's call it a day," Bai Qianlan said faintly, glancing at the watch on her wrist.
After speaking, she stood up:
"Ye Chuan, come with me to the student council activity room."
"Okay." Ye Chuan nodded.
Seeing Ye Chuan follow Bai Qianlan away, many people's faces were full of confusion. Was Ye Chuan bad? No, he wasn't. He was the top scorer in the entrance exams. But Bai Qianlan's actions just now made many people think that Ye Chuan would also be directly dismissed. The discrepancy between their expectations and reality made some of the originally jealous students even more sour.
However, with his grades speaking for themselves, they really had nothing to say.
On the other side, Ye Chuan had already followed Bai Qianlan to the corridor.
Looking at Bai Qianlan walking ahead, her height probably only reached his chest. Ye Chuan followed her to an activity room. After she pushed the door open, Bai Qianlan said without turning her head:
"Close the door and lock it."
Hearing her say that, Ye Chuan turned around and locked the activity room door.
The atmosphere was quiet for a good while.
Bai Qianlan walked to a sofa and then directly threw herself onto it, letting out a groan:
"Ugh, I'm so tired! One after another, those guys were both bad and lacked self-awareness, it was a complete waste of my time."
Seeing Bai Qianlan's sudden change in demeanor, Ye Chuan, looking as if this was normal, sat down on the sofa and said:
"Sister Qianlan, it's clearly because the benefits you offered were too good, that's why so many people came."
"If we don't offer better benefits, the student council will have no one next year," Bai Qianlan suddenly raised her head from the sofa and looked at Ye Chuan, reaching out her hand:
"Little Chuanzi, come give your big sister a hug."
"No way," Ye Chuan said speechlessly.
Bai Qianlan, a second-year student at Silver Mountain Middle School, the current student council president with the formidable nickname "Mini Tiger," perfect academic record, perfect athletic record, just this kind of person—
Was Ye Chuan's own cousin.
Although they were the same age, because she started school earlier, Ye Chuan was a year behind Bai Qianlan.
"What? I even let you into the student council, and you won't even let me have a hug?" Bai Qianlan muttered:
"Remember when we were little, you used to call me 'Sister Qianlan' so sweetly, always wanting kisses and hugs."
"I don't remember any such thing," Ye Chuan rolled his eyes. And in his memory, it was clearly Bai Qianlan who wanted kisses and hugs.
Bai Qianlan hummed, then took out a lollipop from her school uniform skirt and started eating it. Her black gem-like eyes didn't forget to look at Ye Chuan, as if she was planning something.
"What do you want to do?" Ye Chuan had a bad premonition.
"Little Chuanzi." Bai Qianlan scooted closer, then put her hands together and looked at Ye Chuan with sparkling eyes:
"Are you interested in being the student council president?"
What she got in return was Ye Chuan's speechless gaze:
"No."
"When will these hard days end?" Seeing Ye Chuan's refusal, Bai Qianlan hugged her own legs and sank into a state of self-isolation again. Ye Chuan could even feel the pressure of negative energy swirling around her body.
"Since you didn't want to be the student council president, why did you run for it in the first place?" Ye Chuan asked.
"I didn't want to either! I was tricked by the previous president. He even said that as long as I signed my name, he would teach my Pokémon the move Explosion," Bai Qianlan said with a lifeless expression:
"Being tricked is one thing, but this move..."
"He didn't teach you the move?" Ye Chuan looked at Bai Qianlan's expression, as if understanding something.
"Of course he taught me the move," Bai Qianlan turned her gaze away and muttered softly:
"It's just that what he taught me was Self-Destruct..."
The corner of Ye Chuan's mouth twitched.
"Little Chuanzi, I'll teach you Self-Destruct, you become the student council president!" Bai Qianlan hugged Ye Chuan's waist and pleaded loudly.
"No way! Are you trying to harm my Charmander?!"
At this moment, a knock suddenly sounded on the door:
"President, are you inside?"
Hearing the sound, Ye Chuan glanced at Bai Qianlan, then got up to open the door. Standing outside were a boy and a girl, who both gave him friendly smiles when they saw him.
"You're here." Behind him, Bai Qianlan's faint voice came. Ye Chuan turned around and found Bai Qianlan already sitting at the desk, slightly lowering her head and writing on a document with a pen.
Ye Chuan: "..."
Your pen is upside down.
"President, regarding tomorrow's interviews, do we need to extend the time?" the boy asked:
"After all, there are still many people who haven't been interviewed."
"No need. The lunch break time these few days is enough. There's no need to waste our extra work time on this," Bai Qianlan said, then spread out a palm:
"The more important thing right now is the preparations for the sports festival. We don't need to rush about recruiting new members."
"It's my fault for not distinguishing the priorities," the boy lowered his head and said.
"It's okay." After Bai Qianlan finished speaking, she looked at Ye Chuan: "Speaking of which, I haven't introduced you to each other yet. Ye Chuan, please introduce yourself."
Ye Chuan glanced at Bai Qianlan and then said, "Hello seniors, I'm Ye Chuan from Class 1 of the first-year Pokémon Department."
"My name is Liu Xuan." The boy was the sunny type, with a kind smile on his face.
"My name is Jiang Xue, oh, and I'm not a senior. I'm also a first-year student, from Class 2 next to yours." The girl had squinted eyes and spoke in a slow tone, with a gentle and sweet smile on her face:
"Let's work well together in the future."
"Okay." Ye Chuan also smiled slightly.
"Then, this is the silver badge and school ID for student council members." Bai Qianlan took out a black card and a silver pin from the drawer:
"I've already recorded your information on the card. Your cafeteria expenses will be reimbursed by the school in the future, and this card also allows you free access to the virtual training room."
"Okay." Ye Chuan took the new school ID and pin and carefully kept them.
"Well, the lunch break is almost over. Everyone go back to your classrooms for the afternoon classes. Because I have other arrangements after school today, we'll talk about the rest tomorrow," Bai Qianlan said slowly.
"Okay, President."
After saying that, everyone prepared to leave. Before Ye Chuan left, he glanced at Bai Qianlan, who was working seriously at the moment, her eyes never leaving the documents on the desk.
However, when Ye Chuan was about to close the door, he saw Bai Qianlan visibly slump down, finally resting her face on the desk like a lifeless salted fish.
Ye Chuan: "..."
But no matter what, he could now use the virtual training room.
Ye Chuan took out the black card, looking at the Silver Mountain Middle School emblem on it. He would go take a look after school in the afternoon.
