The morning classes ended.
During lunch break.
"Let's go get lunch together."
Wang Guancong saw Su Cheng preparing to leave and quickly blocked his path, saying to him.
"That won't be necessary."
Su Cheng shook his head slightly, declining Wang Guancong's invitation.
"It's my treat!"
"Really, no need."
Su Cheng hastily refused.
He already owed people favors and didn't want to owe any more.
"Come on, we're friends, no need to be so formal."
Gao Ye hurriedly persuaded.
"Didn't you say you play games too? After lunch, how about we play a few matches at the E-sports Club?"
Wang Guancong said, suddenly giving Su Cheng a playful wink.
Su Cheng looked troubled upon hearing this.
"Ahem."
At this moment, Zhao Yan and Xuan Ying, who had somehow appeared behind them, cleared their throats, interrupting the conversation.
"Don't lead our classmate astray!"
"Su Cheng is part of the lunch break group."
The two girls stood on either side of Su Cheng, looking at Wang Guancong with hostility and vigilance, as if worried he might be a bad influence on Su Cheng.
Seeing this, Wang Guancong understood that Zhao Yan and Xuan Ying had misunderstood him, and quickly explained with a pained expression: "That's not what I meant, I just wanted to treat him to lunch and discuss some gaming strategies."
"You're not Su Cheng's girlfriends, why are you being so controlling!?"
Gao Ye said with obvious displeasure.
Zhao Yan and Xuan Ying's faces froze when they heard Gao Ye's words, then turned red as they glared at him.
Just as they were about to speak, they were interrupted by voices from the corridor outside.
"Good day, President!"
"Good day, President!"
A chorus of voices called out respectfully from outside.
Soon, a young woman wearing a school uniform and a silver mask passed by the classroom.
She carried documents in her hand and walked with steady steps, neither too fast nor too slow. Everyone in her path bowed their heads with genuine respect.
Due to her silver mask, she appeared quite mysterious. She merely nodded slightly without speaking.
Even so, her powerful presence emanated an aura of authority without aggression.
Though wearing the same uniform as others, her commanding presence was entirely different, making people dare only to admire her from afar.
Notably, she wore rare white stockings.
While white typically represents cuteness and purity, it instead gave off a sacred and solemn feeling, further highlighting her extraordinary nature.
"Good day, President!"
"Good day, President!"
The two girls beside him instantly reacted, bowing respectfully to the silver-masked young woman with admiration.
The worship and admiration in their eyes were impossible to hide.
"Good day, President!"
Wang Guancong and Chai Hao also hurriedly bowed and called out carefully.
The silver-masked young woman turned, her eyes visible through the mask scanning the four of them before finally resting on Su Cheng.
In that instant, Su Cheng's entire body froze, as if his soul had been gripped by invisible hands.
Dignified, sacred, powerful, and overwhelmingly impressive.
If not for the system's character information prompt,
He would never have connected the girl he saw at the mall last time with the person before him!
They were completely different.
Yet it was this woman who had given him the ability to become invisible.
"Phew~"
The others only let out a sigh of relief after the Student Council President had left.
"I can't believe we ran into the Student Council President today!"
"This is my first time seeing her too."
Wang Guancong and Chai Hao's faces showed excitement.
"Is the Student Council President often absent from school?"
Su Cheng, having recovered, asked after seeing their excited expressions.
"Yes, she's rarely seen!"
Chai Hao immediately replied.
"Su Cheng probably isn't very familiar with our Student Council President, right?"
Zhao Yan nodded as she spoke.
Su Cheng nodded.
"Our school has had all sorts of presidents before - the model student type, those who abused their power, and even those who relied on their background to maintain their position. But she's the only one who truly fights for students' rights."
Zhao Yan spoke with admiration and worship.
"She's the most outstanding Student Council President in history!"
"Being called 'the protagonist' is completely justified!"
"Well-deserved!"
"The embodiment of justice!"
"And she's an absolutely perfect talent, able to quickly master anything to perfection in no time."
Xuan Ying chimed in to agree.
"????"
Hearing this, Su Cheng was bewildered.
Absolutely perfect?
Quick to master everything perfectly?
Then who was that silly person at the mall who spent all her budget on the claw machine?
Could it be that the Student Council President had a gentle and cute side unknown to others?
Such strange attributes, such a gap...
Come to think of it, this gap was actually quite charming!
Su Cheng fell into deep thought.
"Su Cheng???"
"What are you thinking about??"
Chai Hao's voice brought him back to reality.
"Nothing." Su Cheng snapped back, smiled at Gao Ye, then turned to the two girls and said, "You should go ahead, I brought my own lunch box, it would be a waste not to eat it."
He then walked out of the classroom, leaving the two girls, Chai Hao, and Wang Guancong standing there watching him leave.
"Please stop bothering Su Cheng in the future, can't you see how uncomfortable he is?!"
Xuan Ying coldly stared at Wang Guancong, her eyes narrowing to slits.
"We just wanted to treat him to lunch, not bully him. Why are you giving me such a fierce look!"
Wang Guancong felt unnerved by her stare and looked away.
"Yeah, guys having lunch together is the first step of friendship, what do you know!"
Chai Hao retorted.
"One meal with you would cost as much as his entire month's food budget."
Zhao Yan shook her head as she spoke.
"He wouldn't have to pay!"
"We're treating him!"
"But have you considered his feelings? Receiving your kindness without being able to repay it - you might not feel uncomfortable about this unequal relationship, but he does!"
After speaking, Zhao Yan pulled Xuan Ying out of the classroom, leaving behind a dumbfounded Wang Guancong and Chai Hao.
"Ah, so we were being presumptuous?"
Gao Ye scratched his head, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
Wang Guancong nodded, but quickly recovered: "Well, now that we know, we'll be more mindful in the future."
