Chapter 328: Chapter 156: The Second Cup of Milk Tea in Autumn [Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to Everyone!]_1

Liu Yu finished his speech, bowed, and stepped down from the stage. He sat back in his seat, puffed out his chest, held his head high, and looked straight ahead, trying to project a good image for everyone. However, his heart was already racing with anxiety—he desperately wanted to see how others reacted.

"I should be stable now, right?"

Liu Yu felt that Pei Fei was nothing more than a bug, not worth considering.

"Next is the voting segment!"

Gu Qingxiang placed a cardboard box on the lectern and then distributed the ballots she had prepared: "Anonymous voting!"

"Whoever you think fits the role, write down their name and come up to vote."

"Let’s begin!"

Everyone looked at each other, and a few even glanced at Lin Baici.

Lin Baici wrote Pei Fei’s name on his ballot, looked around to see that no one else was moving, and without further ado, he went up to the lectern to vote.

His movement prompted the others to start as well.

"Please have three students come up to count the votes!"

This was to ensure fairness and to prove that there was no fraud.

"I’ll do it!"

Ji Xinyan raised her hand, not waiting for Gu Qingxiang’s consent, and stood up, walking towards the lectern.

Compared to how most students submissively behaved in front of the instructor, Ji Xinyan was much more composed, as she had never thought an instructor was that imposing.

Pei Fei had to recuse himself and couldn’t go up.

In the end, it was Fang Mingyuan and a girl named Tao Nai who went up to read out the votes.

Ji Xinyan, unhesitatingly took her place in front of the ballot box and drew out a ballot.

She unfolded it and was taken aback.

"Ji Xinyan, read out the vote!"

Gu Qingxiang urged her on, as she had to go to other classes to oversee student council elections, and time was tight.

"Lin Baici!"

After Ji Xinyan called out the name loudly, she showed the ballot to Fang Mingyuan and Tao Nai.

Whispers immediately began spreading around the classroom because Lin Baici had made it clear he did not want to be class president, yet someone had still voted for him.

But everyone understood this mentality.

It was just a class officer election, and more than half the people didn’t take it seriously. They didn’t know that being a class officer made it easier to join the student council or become a party member. They simply voted according to personal preference, rather haphazardly.

After all, it was anonymous.

"Stay calm, it’s just a technical adjustment!"

Liu Yu tried to comfort himself.

Ji Xinyan pulled out the second ballot.

"Lin Baici!"

"Lin Baici!"

...

Five consecutive ballots all had Lin Baici’s name on them.

Liu Yu couldn’t help it anymore and cursed under his breath.

"Damn it, are these people retarded? The guy already said he doesn’t want to be class president—why do you still vote for him?"

Liu Yu was about to explode with anger!

Pei Fei forced a smile, somewhat regretting that he had nominated himself.

"Liu Yu!"

When Liu Yu heard Ji Xinyan call his name, his spirit suddenly lifted.

Here it comes! Here it comes!

My comeback surge was about to start.

He focused on Ji Xinyan’s lipstick-coated lips, wishing she would say "Liu Yu" ten times in one go.

"Lin Baici!"

"Pei Fei!"

"Pei Fei!"

Ji Xinyan continued to read out the names.

When Lin Baici’s vote count exceeded 16, the atmosphere in the classroom became somewhat noisy as everyone discussed the matter, occasionally glancing at Lin Baici.

In Class 01, there were 32 students, including 13 girls.

Lin Baici received 16 votes, which meant that even if he did not receive any more votes, he was already the candidate with the highest number of votes for class president. The remaining 16 ballots, even if all taken by either Pei Fei or Liu Yu, would only tie with him, and this possibility was now non-existent.

Ji Xinyan stopped reading the votes and turned to look at Gu Qingxiang.

Because it no longer mattered.

"Student Lin, what do you think?"

Gu Qingxiang was astonished; she hadn’t realized Lin Baici was so popular.

"Old White, since everyone thinks so highly of you, you should step up!"

Zhang Zhixu yelled out.

Quite a few boys started to persuade him as well.

Liu Yu’s face turned awkward, and his hands clenched tightly under the desk.

Qian Jiahui watched Lin Baici, understanding the root of this situation.

They were all freshmen, and school had just started not long ago. They had barely exchanged a few words; not only were the boys and girls unfamiliar with each other, but even among the boys, some had never spoken to Liu Yu.

Lin Baici, because of buying water during the military training, shooting the mad dog, and reciting Buddhist scriptures during the welcome party, was known to the girls. On the boys’ side, his reputation as a gambling god was earned during card games played together.

Plus, he was good at basketball!

Moreover, Lin Baici’s expensive Alienware laptop was lying casually on his bed without a password set. Usually, Fang Mingyuan was playing on it.

Sometimes Qian Jiahui also called people over for group gaming sessions, using Lin Baici’s laptop. Initially, everyone was worried about breaking it until Qian Jiahui made a comment.

"If Old White cared, he wouldn’t have left it lying around on his bed."

Multiple times when Lin Baici saw others using his laptop, he never minded. Instead, he would watch by the side, his generosity and openness impressing everyone.

Who wouldn’t want a class president who was exceptional, open-minded, and approachable?

At least it would be more comfortable than being managed by someone like Liu Yu, right?

If Lin Baici actually wanted to be class president, he would not say unanimously elected, but getting ninety percent of the votes would definitely not be a problem.

Lin Baici stood up: "With such affection from everyone, it would be unkind of me to refuse again. Thank you all for your support."

"Also, I don’t know what I can do, but if you have any problems, you can come to me. I will try my best to help you all!"

Lin Baici’s words were down-to-earth and sounded much more pleasant than Liu Yu’s grand promises.

Applause erupted.

"Then the class president selection is decided!"

Gu Qingxiang smiled lightly, causing Xu Daguan, who had been sneaking peeks at her, to think to himself that she was truly a gem, and if only he could pursue her.
