Chapter 19 Are you out of your mind?
In general elections, few people will vote for themselves.
But this time is different. It involves self-recommendation, so as long as one is open and confident enough, it is perfectly acceptable to vote for oneself.
At this moment, Lu Yuan and Li Xian's votes were completely tied, and the only person who hadn't voted yet was Lu Yuan himself.
If he abstains, a new vote will have to be held, and the two candidates will have to be chosen again.
Although it's not a big deal and won't take up much time, doing it all over again makes it completely different.
Currently, at least eighteen people support Lu Yuan, which is almost half of the class. This shows that in everyone's mind, he is fully capable of serving as the class representative.
Lu Yuan is no longer the naive and immature boy he once was; he understands the weight of the phrase "the people's expectation" better than anyone else.
Gao Zhe had already raised his hand high; this vote would count as long as Lu Yuan himself did not object.
The homeroom teacher looked at Lu Yuan and earnestly asked for his opinion.
All eyes in the class turned to him, some expectant, some nervous, waiting for him to say something.
Among them, the most uneasy was Li Xian.
As long as Lu Yuan nods and acknowledges that the vote is valid, it is equivalent to publicly recommending himself and naturally winning the class representative position.
This also means that Li Xian will lose the election by a single vote.
Moreover, among Lu Yuan's supporters is the school beauty, Xu Lingjing.
This amount is self-evident.
After a moment's thought, Lu Yuan finally lived up to everyone's expectations and nodded slightly:
"Then, with everyone's support, I will lead you in the oath-taking ceremony for the 100-day countdown. At that time, we will definitely show the spirit of Class 5 and live up to our youth and our prime."
"Great! Yuan-ge is awesome!"
Gao Zhe was the most enthusiastic in stirring things up, and he was the first to clap enthusiastically in support.
The others were also caught up in the atmosphere and joined in clapping and cheering.
Li Xian clapped stiffly, feeling a tightness in his chest, making it difficult to breathe, and almost fainting from lack of breath.
Looking at Lu Yuan, the homeroom teacher felt that the child had suddenly become a different person, calm, composed, and his aura was completely different.
It's a pity his grades weren't quite there yet; otherwise, he would definitely be a great talent.
Jiang Yiqing nudged Xu Lingjing gently with her elbow and teased with a smile, "Hey, don't you think Lu Yuan is actually quite handsome now?"
Xu Lingjing's lips unconsciously curled upwards, a hint of smugness creeping into her heart, yet her words remained haughty:
"If you weren't handsome, would you have pursued me?"
Afterwards, the homeroom teacher repeatedly reminded everyone of the details of the 100-day countdown rally.
That day is the day when all senior high school students declare war on the college entrance examination. The school also hopes that parents can attend to witness it. Please remember to invite your parents to come.
Students can wear whatever they like on the day, but they must wear their school uniform jackets during the oath-taking ceremony.
……
The homeroom teacher talked on and on for a long time before finally ending get out of class.
During the break, many students gathered around to congratulate Lu Yuan.
In everyone's memory, this seems to be the first time that Lu Yuan has taken the initiative to shoulder the responsibility of the class.
Many people also asked him to take photos together on the day of the oath-taking ceremony, and Lu Yuan agreed with a smile.
For a moment, Lu Yuan became the focus of the entire class.
Li Xian saw this and felt uneasy. His eyes, when he looked at Lu Yuan, revealed an undisguised jealousy and resentment.
The morning class was still a review session led by the teacher. Lu Yuan had his own plan to fill in the gaps in his knowledge, so he didn't listen to the teacher much and instead did practice questions to consolidate his understanding.
Gao Zhe slept soundly beside him, and the morning passed just like that.
As soon as the school bell rang, Lu Yuan called Ye Yixian.
Ye Yixian obediently accepted it.
Lu Yuan told her to meet him directly at the school gate.
Xu Lingjing wanted to go up and say a few words to Lu Yuan, but as soon as she took a step, Lu Yuan and Gao Zhe walked out of the classroom together.
She opened her mouth, but ultimately, due to her inherent pride, she couldn't bring herself to call out his name in public.
Looking at her like this, Jiang Yiqing sighed helplessly: "Lingjing, what's wrong with you? Just call him over. He likes you so much, if you just take the initiative, he won't ignore you."
"I... Hmph, I'm not going to pay any attention to him."
Xu Lingjing snorted defiantly, "I voted for him, and he didn't even say thank you."
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She simply turned her head away, ignoring Lu Yuan's direction, and walked towards the cafeteria alone.
Lu Yuan and Gao Zhe walked to the school gate and immediately saw Ye Yixian leaning against the guard booth.
Her tuft of dyed yellow hair was particularly eye-catching, carrying a somewhat out-of-place, non-mainstream vibe.
Fortunately, I changed into clean clothes today, and I no longer look as dull and lifeless as before.
"Hey little lackey, what are you standing there for? Let's go."
Lu Yuan smiled and waved at her.
Ye Yixian's face flushed, feeling somewhat embarrassed. She looked around and, seeing that there weren't many people, lowered her head and walked discreetly to his side.
"Could you please stop calling me that in public?" she protested softly.
Lu Yuan laughed even harder: "Why? You've always been my little follower, and you will be for the next month."
"you……"
Ye Yixian was both angry and helpless, and subconsciously clenched her fists.
If it were anyone else, she would have punched them long ago, but she just couldn't bring herself to do it to Lu Yuan.
Even she herself found it strange that her usual sharp temper and methods were completely ineffective in front of him.
"Let's go eat."
Lu Yuan gestured for her to join him.
Ye Yixian had no choice but to follow obediently, his hand unconsciously touching his pocket, where he still only had five yuan.
She didn't know what the two of them were going to eat, and if the cost was high, they would have to split the bill, which she simply couldn't afford.
She secretly decided that if it was too expensive, she would say she wasn't hungry.
Before long, Lu Yuan had already pushed a steaming bowl of beef noodles in front of her.
She couldn't remember the last time she had beef noodles, and she had almost forgotten what they tasted like.
A bowl costs twelve yuan, which is money she absolutely cannot afford right now.
Before she could say she didn't like it, Lu Yuan spoke first:
"Eat up, I've already paid, don't waste food."
"You've already paid?" Ye Yixian was taken aback.
"Nonsense, you pay first, then eat here." Lu Yuan pointed to the sign on the wall.
It was his treat again.
Ye Yixian breathed a sigh of relief, but felt even more guilty.
Since meeting Lu Yuan, she seems to have suddenly gained many things she never dared to dream of before, and she no longer has to go hungry so often.
Breakfast is provided in the morning, lunch is provided, and you only need to worry about dinner.
After taking a couple of bites, she still felt bad and tentatively whispered:
"Please keep track of this meal cost for me. I'll pay you back when I have the money."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan and Gao Zhe, who were enjoying their meal, simultaneously stopped what they were doing and looked up at her.
Their gazes held a complex expression, as if they wanted to see right through her.
Ye Yixian felt extremely uncomfortable under their gaze, his heart pounding and his hands and feet trembling.
Did I say something wrong?
Or did I offend them somehow?
After agonizing for a while, she finally couldn't help but ask, "Why...why are you all looking at me like that?"
Lu Yuan looked at her and bluntly said:
Are you out of your mind?
