the next day.
Lin Xun's fever has subsided, but he still has some lingering effects from the cold.
If he hadn't taken such good care of Su Qingshi last night, holding her and wrapping her in a blanket, she probably would have caught a cold too.
With the situation improving, Lin Xun had no choice but to return to school.
A light drizzle began to fall from the sky, and the air became somewhat chilly.
After feeling her body temperature, Lin Xun warmed his hands and then took Su Qingshi's small hand in his.
This spring feels like an extended winter; it's still so cold.
Are you driving?
Su Qingshi asked softly.
It's only one or two kilometers from here to the school.
Lin Xun looked up at the sky. The light drizzle wasn't a big deal, but if he got soaked for more than ten minutes, his clothes would probably be completely wet.
"I'll drive."
"Um."
After getting into the driver's seat, Lin Xun thoughtfully fastened Su Qingshi's seatbelt.
"Time to go back to school."
When Lin Xun returned to the dormitory, no one was there; his class had classes that day.
Lin Xun sat at his computer desk, staring blankly at the screen.
Not going to class and not being with Qing Shi, Lin Xun felt his life suddenly became empty.
Nothing to do, so I'll read a novel.
Recently, he took a liking to a romance novel called "After the College Entrance Examination: The Daily Romance of the Richest Young Master and the Cold School Beauty".
Lin Xun discovered that the protagonist's experiences were very similar to his own, which made him decide to follow the novel.
However, he has already caught up to the latest chapter. That author, who only updates twice a day, is so lazy that even a donkey wouldn't dare to take such a break!
He spent a huge sum of money to send a bunch of razor blades to urge the author to update.
At noon, Liu Gang and his group returned, carrying the packed lunches they had brought back.
"Hey, buddy, here's your snail rice noodles." Gou Shengli handed a bag of noodles to Lin Xun.
The latter took it; his fever had just subsided, and his mouth felt a little bland, so he wanted something spicy.
At this moment, Liu Gang suddenly moved closer to him, dragged his bowl and stool over, and sat down next to Lin Xun.
"What's wrong?" Lin Xun looked at him in confusion.
Liu Gang asked, "Have you been with Senior Su these past two days?"
Lin nodded: "Yeah, what's wrong?"
"Is there anything wrong with her?"
"No, do you know something?" Lin Xun frowned.
He takes everything concerning his senior sister very seriously.
Liu Gang said, "Oh, it's like this. I heard from a senior in my club that the student council seems to be going to have a change of leadership."
Lin Xun raised an eyebrow: "So fast?"
Liu Gang nodded: "Yes, it seems that the school is not very satisfied with the performance of this year's student council, so they plan to hold a new selection."
"How could that be? Doesn't the student council have that Yu Chengshuo guy? And Sister Qingshi? They're both among the best students in the whole school," Lin Xun asked doubtfully.
Liu Gang shrugged: "I don't know about that, but I'll tell you, it seems like Senior Su is going to quit the student council."
"What?!"
Lin Xun exclaimed in surprise.
Gou Shengli and Wu Da both looked over.
"What happened?"
Liu Gang shrugged: "I heard it from my senior brother. I don't know if it's true. You can ask Senior Su for details."
Lin Xun thought about it and decided to ask his senior, as he wasn't sure if her withdrawal from the student council was voluntary.
Of course, if someone forces her, she will make that person pay the price!
He didn't want Su Qingshi to suffer any injustice!
Thinking about this, Lin Xun couldn't help but keep having that dream flash through his mind.
After finishing his meal, Lin Xun went to bed and immediately video-called Su Qingshi.
The call was answered shortly afterward.
Su Qingshi's face appeared on the screen. She was wearing white headphones and staring at the computer. From Lin Xun's angle, he could see her from the chin up.
"What's wrong?"
Su Qingshi glanced at the camera and asked.
Lin Xun asked in confusion, "Sister Qingshi, what are you doing?"
"Making documents. And...thinking of you."
Lin Xun smiled and said, "I'm tempted."
How are you feeling?
Su Qingshi asked.
Lin Xun nodded: "Much better. By the way, Sister Qingshi, I heard you're leaving the student council?"
Su Qingshi paused, her gaze falling on his face: "Where did you hear that from?"
Lin Xun asked in surprise, "Really? Why?"
Su Qingshi said calmly, "I'm too tired."
Based on Lin Xun's understanding of her, it was definitely not just about being tired.
"Junior, let's leave it at that. The vice president position is dispensable to me. Stepping down will make things easier for me," Su Qingshi said gently.
Lin Xun's expression shifted, and he asked very seriously, "Sister Qingshi, were you bullied?"
Su Qingshi stared at him intently, then shook her head: "No."
"I see."
Lin Xun breathed a sigh of relief.
"Since you've made your decision, I respect your choice."
"Thanks."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Xun frowned. A moment later, he got up and dressed.
"Where are you going in the middle of the day?" Liu Gang asked, puzzled.
"I'll go find the principal," Lin Xun said casually.
"Tsk, are you going to play the hero and save the damsel in distress?" Gou Shengli said, his eyes shining.
Lin Xun rolled his eyes at him: "What hero saving the beauty? I just wanted to know more about what happened."
"Do you want me to come with you?" Liu Gang asked.
"No need, you guys go take a nap," Lin Xun shook his head.
A moment later, he arrived at the principal's office. It was after lunch, and the principal's office door was closed.
But it's alright, Lin Xun has already called the principal to come over.
About seven or eight minutes later, the principal strode over.
Inside, the principal poured Lin Xun a cup of tea.
"Young Master Lin, is there any problem you need me to solve?" the principal asked very politely.
Lin Xun cut to the chase and asked, "Principal, I'd like to ask if the student council is going to have a reshuffle soon?"
The principal was taken aback. He had heard about the matter, but he hadn't been involved much.
"Yes, that's right. It was approved at a school meeting."
Lin Xun nodded: "Is there a specific list?"
The principal turned on his computer and said, "Please wait a moment while I check."
Soon, a list was printed out. Lin Xun looked at it carefully and noticed that the positions of many people on the list had changed.
Lin Xun didn't care about any of that; he was searching for his senior's name.
Student Union Vice President, Su Qingshi, including her profile picture and some other information.
Su Qingshi's name is no longer on the new list. The position of vice president is occupied by a male student named Xu Jinian, a junior.
In the original list, this person named Xu Jinian was the Minister of External Relations.
"Principal, does this list need your approval and stamp?" Lin Xun asked the principal.
The principal said, "Theoretically, it's not necessary."
"I'd like to ask, is there any inside story behind this list?"
"ah?"
The principal was stumped by Lin Xun's question.
Is there any inside story? How does he know? He's a school principal, he's usually busy with social engagements and... tea drinking, how could he possibly care about something as trivial as a student council election?
Suddenly, the principal was startled. He suddenly remembered that Lin Shao's girlfriend was Su Qingshi.
Moreover, it seems this female student has withdrawn from the association?
Now the principal finally understood why Young Master Lin had come to see him in person.
Is he trying to stand up for his wife?
