Chapter 357

After sending the two of them off to class, Jiang Xia actually went to observe the queen election.

As for Heavenly River, aside from other things, student-related activities are truly numerous, having become an annual tradition of the school.

A large number of students holding fans printed with Fengcheng Meiyu's photo gathered together, waiting for her appearance.

It's much like those fervent idol fans, but compared to those who spare no expense, draining family wealth, the queen election is far more convenient and simple—just participate and register to vote.

Although it does involve money, it's merely purchasing some event merchandise, or directly giving gifts to one's favored candidate.

The segment to decide the winner is also quite simple.

In short, it's singing and dancing, rap, and basketball.

Oh, there's no basketball; the Heavenly River queen election has only two rounds, namely the talent performance and campaign speech corresponding to those, and the person with the highest combined score wins.

It seems entering this school will make high school three years not boring; the student welfare activities are top-notch. If I had entered here when I was in school, I could at least become a department head.

As Jiang Xia was thinking that after reading the rules, the gathered students suddenly let out excited shrieks.

Fengcheng Meiyu, accompanied by her two lackeys, walked slowly through the crowd, while people around kept handing her their gifts.

However, the psychology of someone long subjected to adulation undergoes certain special changes, namely arrogance.

Amid the crowd, Fengcheng Meiyu's field of vision undergoes some unpredictable changes with her height.

Jiang Xia could clearly sense that the disdain hidden in Fengcheng Meiyu's gaze was directed at the people giving her gifts; she merely enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by people.

As for the gifts prepared by fans for her, she fully delegated them to her two lackeys to receive.

It's not that she lacks the habit of accepting gifts by hand; she simply looks down on these gifts altogether.

Even the title of queen that they helped Fengcheng Meiyu win for several consecutive years is, in her eyes, nothing but trash.

However, the surrounding classmates, although they did not personally hand their prepared gifts to Fengcheng Meiyu, still firmly believed that their sentiment-filled gifts would surely be personally unwrapped and well kept by Senior Fengcheng.

Because they heard Senior Fengcheng's guarantee with their own ears.

"Thank you for everyone's gifts; I will cherish them well," Fengcheng Meiyu said to the crowd.

Although Heavenly River has a series of problems, most students are still relatively simple, so upon hearing the guarantee they truly believed Fengcheng Meiyu and became even more excited, with countless emotions surging in each person's heart.

Because this made them feel that all their effort and preparation were not in vain, Senior Fengcheng is truly too perfect.

As Fengcheng Meiyu was saying this to the fans, she suddenly looked up and saw Jiang Xia standing before her, wearing glasses and silently observing her; the side of him was plastered with her promotional posters.

Fengcheng Meiyu felt a thrill; this handsome and charming freshman was actually one of her fans, deliberately coming to pay attention to her competition that she had dominated for two years.

This is her irresistible charm. Even the person who just had a conflict with her boyfriend would unhesitatingly support her—no wonder it's me.

Fengcheng Meiyu's inner arrogance completely turned into contempt for Jiang Xia; even though his demeanor and attire were hardly that of a student, she still chose to overlook it.

Under the gaze of those around, Fengcheng Meiyu showed a faint smile, lightly walking up to Jiang Xia—this person, even more handsome than her boyfriend, deserved her to display her charm.

"You'll vote too, right? Remember to vote for the person you like." Fengcheng Meiyu sized up Jiang Xia and said.

"Mm, there is indeed someone I value among this competition's participants." Jiang Xia took out his prepared ballot and showed it to Fengcheng Meiyu.

"Oh, I'm curious who you voted for—could it be me?" Fengcheng Meiyu asked curiously.

The ballot was folded in half, so she could not clearly see who it was voted for; even the name on the ballot was completely blocked. Her intention to learn the voter's name from the ballot also came to nothing.

Jiang Xia suddenly laughed; he had indeed voted for this round's champion, though it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, because basically no one dared to contend with Fengcheng Meiyu for the queen position, so the final candidates were few and far between.

However, combined with what he had just observed, he already had enough definite information to know who the champion would be.

"I voted for this round's champion, so you can look forward to it—I will give this round's champion a special gift; whether you can receive it depends on your popularity at school."

Jiang Xia waved the ballot in front of Fengcheng Meiyu, then slipped it into his pocket under her curious gaze.

"Hmph, this queen election champion will definitely be me. Although I'm curious what kind of gift you prepared, I now need to go make preparations."

"Zhu Hui, Chun, let's go."

Fengcheng Meiyu gave a light hum, turned with her two lackeys and left, and the surrounding students followed her departure; however, after leaving, Jiang Xia could still hear those students' discussion.

"Who is that person? Why can he talk so much with Senior Fengcheng?"

"I don't know; maybe he's a teacher or something, or perhaps an elder of Senior Fengcheng."

"That seems unlikely; teachers wouldn't have free time to join such an activity, and teachers probably can't vote anyway."

"I don't know, but this round's champion will definitely be Senior Fengcheng."

"If Senior Fengcheng could be my girlfriend, how great that would be." One chubby boy's eyes were full of hope.

"Impossible; if there's a choice, I'd go first."

"Teenage boys really do harbor fantasies about everything, but those with such imagination might not even imagine a teacher idling around to vote." Jiang Xia sighed, then took out his phone from his pocket and dialed a number from his contacts.

"Hello, is there something you need, teacher?" Chengdao Youmu, who was idly wandering the observatory after class, answered the phone with a puzzled expression.

"Youmu, help me out." Jiang Xia spoke in a gentle tone.

After hearing what Jiang Xia wanted her to do, Chengdao Youmu nodded and said, "I guarantee I'll complete the task."

"Alright, I'll go check later; that's all for now."

……

After class, Ruyue Xian Tairan, face ashen, slumped over the desk; the lesson's content had inflicted unimaginable harm on his spirit.

Although the teacher was indeed quite beautiful and the class atmosphere was very good, the only problem was that he might possibly have a bit of trouble understanding.

Of course, it's not that he doesn't understand at all; one could say he grasps some parts, but other parts leave him completely foggy, not understanding what is being said.

Moreover, having just bounced around in the Jade Rabbit Cabin, his brain has suffered a severe motion-sickness incident, so he now truly has no energy left.

Just as Ruyue Xian Tairan was about to close his eyes, he seemed to hear someone calling his name.

"Ruyue, Ruyue, wake up, the Star Disciple has appeared."

"Star Disciple? Star Disciple! Where is the Star Disciple?" Upon hearing the keyword, Ruyue Xian Tairan jolted awake, letting out a huge sound that drew everyone's attention.

"This idiot, actually making such a commotion." Ge Xing Xian Wu weakly rubbed his forehead, daily speechless.
