Ch 25: They left as if they hadn’t seen anything.

The voting process was simple—

Students went one by one to Facebook, quietly telling Facebook their choice, and Facebook finally announced the result.

When it was her turn, Rui Bu Si froze for a moment, turning her head and coincidentally meeting Xia Guanglei’s gentle smile.

She reached out and rubbed the ends of her hair, then quietly said a name.

Returning to her seat, Jian Ni glared at her, as if looking at some unforgivable traitor:

“You hesitated just now!”

“I couldn’t help it,” she said, waving dismissively, and nudging her mouth towards Ya Ya, lowering her voice, “After all, Eric wasn’t here yesterday, Ya Ya might really faint from hunger.”

Finally, she added:

“But don’t worry, Ya Ya and I ultimately voted for Big Brother!”

She didn’t want to let her go so easily for her almost “treasonous” act.

But the cheers for Eric from behind were growing louder.

Under the threat of the powerful “enemy forces,” he had to focus on more important things—

Pulling Lan Bao to actively cheer for Xia Guanglei.

The noise on the scene grew louder second by second. Rui Bu Si poked Ya Ya:

“I’m so sleepy, I’ll go back to the dormitory.”

The other party was half-asleep, probably didn’t hear clearly because of the noise, and nodded after a long while.

Rui Bu Si suddenly felt that among the few people, she seemed to be the most energetic one.

Well… it seemed that she was also the least enthusiastic about cheering.

“Don’t you want to wait for the results before leaving?”

At the corner, she encountered Mi Ya Xing. He was somewhat surprised, but not too unexpected.

In her impression, he always seemed to stand outside the crowd and rarely participated in everyone’s activities.

She yawned:

“No, whether the final Student Council President is Big Brother or Eric, it feels pretty good either way.”

She was originally curious, but now she wasn’t anymore.

“Mm.” Mi Ya Xing nodded slightly.

Indeed, no matter who it was, it was a good outcome on the surface. He looked at Xia Guanglei thoughtfully.

The two people participating in the election on stage were trying to control the increasingly unruly order at the scene.

The voting was not yet over, the noise was not conducive to the event, the two candidates failed to control the situation, and finally Director Pa saved the day.

His gaze never left that person.

Xia Guanglei…

In just a few days at Meng Academy, his popularity was already comparable to Eric’s…

Seeing Mi Ya Xing staring at the election stage, his thoughts drifting elsewhere. She lowered her eyes, glanced at the rotating Magic Cube, covered her mouth and yawned, and left lightly.

She was really sleepy; she had been copying things until the middle of the night.

As one of the major annual events, almost no one left the Student Council President election after voting, which means that the students of the Higher and Lower Divisions are basically all at the event site now.

The farther away from the election site, the quieter the noise became. Walking on the road, besides her own footsteps, she could no longer hear any other sounds.

It seemed that the whole school was quiet except for herself.

She took two hamburgers from the cafeteria, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes that kept welling up from sleepiness. It seemed that she was too sleepy and had wandered off course; she wasn’t walking towards the Girls’ Dormitory.

In the campus where few people could be met, Mi Ya Xing frowned, his steps did not stop, but the Magic Cube in his hand had not been turning for a long time.

The Student Council President election was not smooth; due to an accident, the result was originally indistinguishable, but…

By this time, the election had ended, and most of the students were still chattering at the scene.

Leaving the scene early and walking back to the dormitory building, seeing the person coming down the stairs at the corner, Mi Ya Xing’s rapidly operating brain suddenly crashed.

This is the Male Dormitory, right?

Right?

Is… it?

He had been thinking about things all the way, the possibility of going wrong was small, but it didn’t seem impossible.

A rare self-doubt stemmed from the confidence of the person opposite him.

It wasn’t just confidence. Holding a hamburger that she had taken two bites of, Rui Bu Si stopped chewing when she saw him, then surprise, confusion, disbelief, a series of expressions flashed across her face.

Finally, she left as if she hadn’t seen him.

After finishing the election’s closing work and arriving at the dormitory building, Eric saw Mi Ya Xing standing at the dormitory entrance for a while, staring at the wall as if looking at something.

“Why don’t you go in?”

The wall only had simple words: “Male Dormitory, Females Keep Out.” He really couldn’t see anything different about them from usual:

“Is… there anything special?”

Mi Ya Xing shook his head after coming to his senses:

“No.”

He was simply shocked by Rui Bu Si’s composure after discovering that he hadn’t made a mistake.

“By the way, Eric, you…” Mi Ya Xing paused, changing the subject, “Is there any progress on the Facebook poisoning?”

He originally wanted Eric to pay attention to Xia Guanglei, but if he suddenly said that—

He currently had no evidence to prove Xia Guanglei’s strangeness, evidence… he had to find evidence first.

“By the way, is Xia Guanglei still at the election site?”

Unaware of the considerable temporary distress her actions caused Mi Ya Xing, back in the dormitory and just sitting down, Rui Bu Si suddenly heard electronic static in her head.

【To complete the plan to save Princess Naiya and defeat the Dark Forces more perfectly, smoothly, and efficiently, a Temporary Mission is now issued, please check.】

Close call, she almost thought she was suffering from sleep deprivation and a brain malfunction.

It was such an annoying sound. She said impatiently: “Reject.”

【Your Temporary Mission has been received—successfully pass the New Student Advancement Exam.

Mission success has no reward, mission failure results in Merit clearing.】

As she knew, whenever this sound appeared, it wasn’t to trick her out of her Merit, or it was a threat to her life.

Now both conditions were met at once.

Thankfully, she had finished the hamburger; otherwise, who could still eat after hearing such frustrating words?

After taking a few sips of water to recover her mood, the dormitory door was opened again.

Rui Bu Si lowered her water cup in some surprise.

It seems the election’s outcome wasn’t to their liking?

Ya Ya, with her “ditzy” attribute, was mostly too sleepy and couldn’t open her eyes, but the specific good or bad mood could still be seen.

For example, now, she could tell that Ya Ya’s mood was very calm, and even a little disappointed.

“Wasn’t the Student Council President selection exciting enough?”

Whatever the result, this shouldn’t be the reaction.

“Facebook malfunctioned, Big Brother gave up running for Student Council President, and Eric is still the President this term.”

Huh?

“Ah, it must have been lively at the scene.”

What a pity to have missed it. I should have stayed a little longer.

Forget it, let’s not think about it for now. The New Student Advancement Exam is coming soon. She should take a nap first and then check the previous years’ results on Facebook—

Oh, right, Facebook is broken.

It’s probably not going to be fixed for a while.

“Yeah, it was lively,” Ya Ya said unhappily, “I voted for Eric.”
