Yu Rui and Xie Li looked at each other in silence.
A few seconds later, the young man’s thin lips curved into his clear and indifferent face, “A big taboo, why?”
The excitement in Xie Li’s eyes faded abruptly.
After a few seconds, he smiled slowly in a calm manner, “Because this psycho in front of you has no qualms with anything or anyone but you as long as he can have you completely. So being indifferent is your only defense, Class President.”
Yu Rui looked at Xie Li, seemingly impassive. The only thing that revealed his true emotions was the slight glint in the back of his eyes.
Seeing Yu Rui’s submission, the excitement in Xie Li’s tone grew, “If this line of defense is lost, aren’t you afraid that I might take the city and enter it?”
“…”
The silence between the two lingered for a while, but yet, it was Yu Rui who snorted slightly. A cold smile slowly emerged on his face, “You think I’m like you?”
“Only a madman can’t control his emotions.” Yu Rui looked at Xie Li mockingly, “And in terms of self-control, I never felt that I would lose to anyone.”
After Yu Rui finished, he waved away Xie Li’s hand that was holding the front of his bicycle.
When he spoke again, his tone was light and casual, “Even if I were tempted, don’t you think I can look like I’m not?”
Xie Li’s smile faded.
Yu Rui turned his bike and passed through the gap between Xie Li’s bike and the shoulder, but before leaving, Yu Rui turned slightly sideways.
“Don’t you like to bet?”
“….what kind of bet do you want to make with me?”
“It’s not between you and me, just you against yourself.” The corners of Yu Rui’s mouth curved up, a smile as gentle and harmless as usual, “Want to give it a try?”

Xie Li, “Try what?”
“P yfa…. atja lo P vbc’a gfrqbcv lc jcs kjs, sbeg “klrt” klii ijra obg akb sfjgr, jcv atja sbe klii mbcalcef ab byrfrr bnfg la ecali sbe ugjvejaf.”

“Rbatlcu.” Te Eel rjlv ilutais, “Cr P pera rjlv, la’r cba wf yfaalcu jujlcra sbe, la’r sbe yfaalcu jujlcra sbegrfio.”
Xie Li remained silent for a few seconds and suddenly looked down and laughed.
Yu Rui, “What are you laughing at?”
“Nothing. This is the first time I’ve heard that the Class President turns out to be a very greedy person.”
Yu Rui did not reply.
Xie Li looked at him again, “It’s obvious that you’re tempted, but you still don’t want to take the risk, en?”
“I was already such a person, is this the first time you know?” Yu Rui didn’t flinch, “Emotions are much less important to me than the future. No matter what, I will never play with the future.”
Yu Rui pedaled his bike and rode off, leaving a sentence behind.
“To gamble or not, it’s up to you.”
Xie Li stopped where he was and kept silent.
After a while, the corners of his mouth slowly curved up, and he also cycled his bike…
“Will I get nothing?”
The street was quiet late at night, and no one could answer his question.
The first Friday in October was High School D’s School Festival.
The “contestant” chosen by Class 10 was undoubtedly Xie Li.
Tian Xueqian was surprised when he confirmed the participation and asked Yu Rui twice, “Are you sure you got the right person?”
Yu Rui nodded his head.
Tian Xueqian, “Is he really going to participate?”
Yu Rui also gave an affirmative answer.
But it was obvious that Tian Xueqian had a deep shadow on the student he had known for more than a year, “He won’t give more trouble, right? After the school elections last time, I talked to the Headmaster vowing that it won’t happen again.”
Yu Rui nodded, “Don’t worry Professor, I will supervise Xie Li.”
“Good, good. Be sure to let me know first if anything happens.”
Friday came.
To make sure nothing happened, Yu Rui left the responsibility of leading the class to the vice president, and personally “watched” Xie Li.
Outside the school’s makeshift locker room.
A young girl from the Arts Department of the Student Council pushed the door and looked backstage outside, finally finding Yu Rui waiting in a corner with headphones on, she hurried over, “Fellow Yu, can you come in and give me a hand?”
Yu Rui heard the voice and turned around, turning off the player on his phone and taking off his headphones to roll them up, “What’s up?”
The girl’s expression looked like she was going to cry.
“Xie Li refused to cooperate with the change of clothes, w-we dare not say anything. His classmates in our department said we could only look for you…”
Yu Rui frowned a bit, but the smile on his face was still kind, “Then I’ll go there with you and take a look.”
“Okay, come with me!”
The girl finally found her savior, grabbed Yu Rui’s wrist, and dragged him towards the changing room.
Yu Rui was dragged into the locker room, which was somewhat crowded, and went straight to the mirror in the corner of the room.
There was a scattered circle of students there, with people on the periphery whispering and arguing.
“Is this what Class 10 is going to do, make this ancestor perform?”
“You didn’t see the video of Xie Li singing that they posted on the forum, did you? It’s really good, he has a tone that doesn’t even sound bad because of the poor sound quality. If he doesn’t show up, I would think there’s something wrong with Class 10.”
“The key is this ancestor, who can make him obedient? Not to mention our Student Council, the teachers will be useless even if they come.”
“I don’t think so, it seems that there really is such a person.”
“Mm? Who?”
“He is also from our Student Council, the newly elected President of the Sophomore Student Council, Yu Rui, who is also the Class 10 Class President.”
“Master Yu? Such a good-natured person, does Xie Li really pay attention to him?”
“I also heard from those in Class 10, that Xie Li only obeys Yu Rui.”
“Then I feel relieved. I wonder what great tactics Yu Rui has to do to make this ancestor obey.”
“Well, they have gone after our ‘savior’.”
Yu Rui walked past those who had just talked about him with a bit of a headache.
Next to the makeup table in the corner, Xie Li was leaning against the wall with a frown. No one dared to stand within two meters of him.
Thank you for the updates!
