Chapter 43 The squad leader is actually him! ?

After the voting was over, the head teacher began to count the votes on the stage: "Lü Yuan 12 votes, Qi Yu 11 votes, Zhang Dongyang 8 votes..."

Li Pingan was indeed shocked.

How come Lu Yuan got the highest number of votes?

She thought the candidate for class monitor would be either Zhang Dongyang or Qi Yu, but she didn't expect that both of them were eliminated.

In the eyes of everyone, Lu Yuan is just a little boy with average grades and average looks, but he can often be seen taking part in various group activities.

But in Li Ping'an's eyes, the light in him was warmer than that of Brother Xiao Qi, and as full of vitality as a little sun.

Li Pingan felt that he would definitely become a good class monitor.

The head teacher was still reading on the stage: "... Li Pingan, um, Li Pingan 2 votes?"

When he suddenly heard his name, Li Pingan looked up in surprise, his eyes widened, "Someone actually voted for me. Could it be that I wrote it wrong?"

She didn't even participate in the election for class monitor. Is there something wrong?

The head teacher also thought he had read it wrong and confirmed it several times, but there were indeed three big words "Li Ping'an" written in black and white on the paper.

Not knowing which two students actually voted for Li Pingan twice, the head teacher had no choice but to say, "These two votes are invalid. Li Pingan did not participate in the election of class leaders, so his vote is invalid."

Zhang Dongyang was also surprised when he heard the voting results announced by the teacher.

In the class monitor vote, Li Pingan actually got two votes. What happened? Shouldn't he be the only one voting for Junior Sister? Who cast the remaining vote?

That’s right, in this vote, Zhang Dongyang cast his precious vote for Li Pingan, even though Li Pingan was not on the list of candidates.

He originally wanted to give Li Ping'an a surprise, but he didn't expect that there was someone in the class who had the same idea as him.

Who is this person?

Zhang Dongyang looked at Li Pingan who was puzzled.

Well, the junior sister looks silly, it shouldn’t be her.

Since it wasn't her, then it could only be——

He turned his head, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Hey, Qi Yu, this is the first time I feel that you are not so annoying."

Qi Yu had obviously also heard the voting results read out by the head teacher, and immediately guessed who had cast the other vote for Li Ping'an.

He put his hands in his pockets, raised his chin and said to Zhang Dongyang: "Ha, this is the first time I think you are not that stupid."

The two looked at each other for a second, then turned their heads away in disgust.

Zhang Dongyang: He is still as annoying as ever.

Qi Yu: He is still so stupid.

snort!

After the head teacher on the podium finished counting the votes, he announced the final candidate for class monitor on the spot. Unsurprisingly, Lu Yuan, who received the highest number of votes, was elected.

Lu Yuan stood up from his seat excitedly.

He took a few steps to the podium, moved to tears, and said, "Thank you all for believing in me! I will definitely not let you down, and will try my best to make our class the most united one, woooooo..."

Looking at the new monitor who was giving a passionate speech on the podium, Zhang Dongyang poked Qi Yu and said, "You were only one vote away from the first place. You voted for the junior sister and didn't become the monitor. Do you regret it?"

Qi Yu dodged his finger and shrugged nonchalantly: "It's already too much for me to be the first place. It's just a class leader vote. Is it worth making such a fuss about it?"

Besides, he didn't really want to be the squad leader.

Tsk, you are really good at pretending~

Zhang Dongyang cursed inwardly, then looked at Li Pingan and said expectantly: "Junior sister, now can you tell me who you voted for? Is it me or Qi Yu?"

Although Qi Yu didn't turn his head, his eyes were clearly drifting over here.

It seems that he also wants to know who Li Pingan voted for?

Li Ping'an looked at Zhang Dongyang, then at Qi Yu who was eavesdropping with his ears perked up, racked his brains to think about it, and his little face wrinkled.

"Actually..." She glanced at the clock on the wall and said slowly, "I'm a little hungry."

The next second, "Ding-ling-ling~~" the bell for the end of get out of class rang.

She said quickly: "I'm going to the cafeteria to eat first."

Then he rushed out of the classroom like a cannonball.

Zhang Dongyang was dumbfounded. It was still early for dinner.

The junior sister refused to answer him and he must have something to hide.

Could it be that she really voted for Qi Yu instead of him?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel sad. He chased out of the door, looked up at the direction where Li Pingan was going, and shouted: "Junior sister, I didn't expect that the friendship between you and me for many years is not as good as that of a boy I have known for less than a week. You actually voted for him instead of me. Where is your conscience?"

As he spoke, he fell to his knees, covering his face and crying bitterly.

True heartbreak is never expressed in shouting, and true disappointment is never expressed in tears. His heart is like a flower blooming in winter, which withers before it blooms.

Qi Yu stepped out of the classroom, walked up to him, frowned and said, "Just shut up, aren't you ashamed?"

Zhang Dongyang raised his head and glared at me: "You think I'm embarrassing? You think I'm embarrassing at this time? Qi Yu, are you still a human being?"

Qi Yu: "Don't be unreasonable."

Zhang Dongyang: "Who are you saying is unreasonable? Who are you saying is unreasonable?" He got up from the ground and pointed at the other party and accused: "I want to duel with you!"

Qi Yu: “Heh…”

He might as well go to the cafeteria to eat with Li Pingan.

***

On the other side, Li Ping'an rushed out of the classroom and ran into the cafeteria at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.

Good, no one was catching up with her, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

It was still early and she was the first one to arrive at the cafeteria to get her meal.

She went to the food window and said to Li Chengfeng, "Uncle, two taels of rice, thank you."

While getting their meals, the uncle and nephew had a low conversation.

"get out of class is over so early today?" After Li Chengfeng got his meal, he considerately scooped an extra spoonful of vegetables for Li Ping'an.

Li Ping'an's face turned green with joy, and he said listlessly, "Because we are electing class leaders today, the teacher didn't keep us after class."

So that's how it is. Li Chengfeng was a little curious: "What was the voting result? Who was elected as the monitor in the end?"

When this was mentioned, Li Pingan temporarily forgot about Qingcai's worries and said to Li Chengfeng excitedly, "Uncle, you will never guess who will be the monitor this time. Guess who it is?"

Li Chengfeng thought for a moment and said, "I guess it's the person you voted for."

Li Pingan's eyes widened: "You can even guess this, uncle, you are amazing!"

Li Chengfeng smiled and said, "The person you choose will not be wrong."

That's right, in this vote for class monitor, Li Ping'an voted neither for Zhang Dongyang nor Qi Yu. Instead, she observed all the class monitor candidates through her heterochromia and selected the one she thought was the most suitable.

She quietly told Li Chengfeng while eating in the cafeteria one time, and asked Li Chengfeng to keep it a secret for her.

"Uncle, this is a little secret between us, don't tell anyone else."

Li Chengfeng nodded, but he was also a little curious, "I want to know, why don't you vote for Qi Yu or Zhang Dongyang? Aren't you three on good terms?"

Li Pingan said: "They are very good friends, but this time we are voting to elect the class monitor."

"Qi Yu is very smart, but sometimes he is too indifferent to irrelevant things; Zhang Dongyang is very loyal, but sometimes he is too impulsive."

"And both of them ran for class monitor for their own selfish reasons. Zhang Dongyang ran for class monitor to avoid being spanked by his father, and Qi Yu ran for class monitor because he didn't want to lose to others."

"Only Lu Yuan ran for class monitor because he really wanted to be the class monitor. His dream was to lead the entire class to become the most united group in the grade."

So Li Pingan voted for him without hesitation.

But she didn't expect that the candidate with the highest votes this time would actually go to Lu Yuan's family.

"Uncle, I didn't expect that the candidate for squad leader this time would be Lu Yuan. It's incredible."

"What's so incredible about this?" Li Chengfeng was not surprised at all.

After he learned of Li Ping'an's candidate, he actually did some small moves in secret.

As we all know, everyone has a herd mentality. If you vote for him, then I will vote for him too.

You hear his name the most, so just vote for the one you are most familiar with.

Therefore, in order to increase Lu Yuan's popularity, he would intentionally or unintentionally mention Lu Yuan's name and some of his outstanding deeds many times when chatting with the aunties in the cafeteria.

"There is a student named Lu Yuan in Class 1, Grade 1. He is a good kid."

"I heard that he helped Student A find his lost underwear yesterday, and Student A cried bitterly while holding the underwear."

"Student B fell down during physical education class the day before yesterday, and it was Lu Yuan who took him to the infirmary."

"The day before yesterday..."

And so on.

The cafeteria is a gathering place for information, and the cafeteria aunties will spare no effort when spreading gossip, and even add their own imaginations.

In this way, word spreads from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred.

When people were eating, they often heard the name Lu Yuan, and he was always a good person doing good things. Over time, they developed some inexplicable liking for him.

In addition, Li Chengfeng fanned the flames behind the scenes, using the power of the cafeteria aunties to canvass votes for Lu Yuan, creating the illusion that he was very popular.

The balance in the students' hearts naturally began to tilt towards Lu Yuan.

Although the teacher gave the students a week to evaluate the candidates, it is impossible to know whether a person is suitable to be a class monitor in such a short time.

Zhang Dongyang and Qi Yu originally had the strongest mass base, but unfortunately, they both disappeared without a trace as soon as the get out of class was over. How could they have the time to canvass for votes and deepen their impression in the minds of their classmates?

So due to various factors, Lu Yuan was finally successfully elected as the class monitor.

Li Chengfeng, who was manipulating everything behind the scenes, smiled slightly, hiding his achievements and fame.

Li Ping'an didn't expect that an inconspicuous class monitor voting session would actually involve the mysterious power of the cafeteria auntie.

His eyes widened immediately as he asked, "Uncle, is this considered a secret operation?"

Li Chengfeng looked at her gently and replied, "Silly child, how can this be called a secret operation? This is called making rational use of the resources around you."

So that's how it is. Li Pingan nodded, not quite understanding.

It seemed that there was no suspense about the selection of squad leader. Li Chengfeng asked again, "How is Ming Ruoxiang's case going?"

When Ming Ruoxiang was mentioned, Li Pingan's mood instantly dropped again.

She looked at the white rice in front of her and whispered, "Uncle, I didn't expect that all I found for her were painful memories."

She had good intentions and wanted to help Ming Ruoxiang get rid of her obsession, but she didn't expect the truth behind it to be so tragic.

She even had some doubts, was what she was doing really correct?

Seeing the confused look on Li Ping'an's face, Li Chengfeng bent down, looked directly into Li Ping'an's eyes, and said seriously: "Ping'an, do you feel that your kindness has brought others painful memories? So you feel guilty?"

Li Ping'an looked up at Li Chengfeng, with an indelible sadness in his eyes.

Li Chengfeng asked: "Will you still want to help others if you encounter such a situation in the future?"

Li Pingan looked into his uncle's eyes, thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Pingan wants to."

Even though you are so sad, do you still want to help others?

Li Chengfeng reached out and touched her head, smiling and said, "True kindness is to be able to keep your original intention unchanged after seeing through all the essences in the world. Uncle is very happy that you can answer me this way."

Li Pingan looked at Li Chengfeng in confusion.

Li Chengfeng said, "You may think that you found some bad memories for Ming Ruoxiang, but think about it from another perspective. In this process, you understand that good intentions can also lead to bad results, and you have grown."

"In order to help you investigate the truth, Zhang Dongyang mustered up the courage to face his fear of his father being beaten, and he also grew up."

"Qi Yu is no longer obsessed with being the first in everything. Even if you are not the first in the class monitor vote, you still cast your vote for me and have grown."

"You three are all growing up well."

Thinking of this, Li Ping'an suddenly became happy again, and even the vegetables in the rice bowl looked much better.

"Uncle, I understand!" Li Pingan raised his head with sparkling eyes and said, "No matter what the result is, as long as you always remember your original intention and always keep a kind heart, it will be fine."

Li Chengfeng smiled and said, "Now we can eat happily."

Li Pingan is full of energy: Oh, today is another day of struggling with vegetables!

Zhang Dongyang is also full of energy.

The next day in class, he suggested to Li Pingan and Qi Yu: "Why don't we go check out the other nine incredible legends of the school? Maybe we can encounter an evil spirit to get extra points?"

Li Pingan: "...Okay~"

Qi Yu: "Oh, you think the evil spirits are the cabbages in your backyard."

So the semester passed quickly in exploration until the day when the final exam results came out.
