Chapter 486 334: Just So Hopeless

For example, when a professor takes attendance, the first thing they ask is, "Where's your class president?"

Oh, the class president is leading the charge in skipping class.

Wouldn't that be a disaster?

So, giving all the class president's duties to Jiang Yuan was the most logical arrangement.

Jiang Yuan froze on the spot after hearing what Xue Rui said. 'Xue Rui means he's handing everything over to me to handle?'

The head teacher had delegated all authority, and Xue Rui wasn't managing anything. Logically, she should have the most say in the class now, but for some reason, Jiang Yuan couldn't bring herself to be happy about it.

'She has the title of vice president, but she's the one doing all the work?'

'If things go well, Xue Rui gets the credit. If they don't, it's all my fault…'

'She felt that Xue Rui had become class president purely to piss her off!'

She heaved a deep sigh. "Will all the League members please report their names? Also, if anyone is interested in running for League secretary, you can come up and introduce yourselves now."

Watching Jiang Yuan methodically arrange the rest of the meeting, Xue Rui thought, 'Being a hands-off manager feels amazing.'

This life was the same as his last one, but the difference was that Jiang Yuan wouldn't be catching him skipping class anymore. And when they argued, he could use his title as class president to pull rank on her.

After the short class meeting ended, it was nine o'clock at night, and the students began to leave.

As the bell rang, Lin Ruoxi found herself in a state of extreme conflict!

Where was she going to sleep tonight?

The dorm?

Or should she take Xue Rui back to the new apartment they bought?

She had made a big deal about not "cooking and sleeping over," but now she was already regretting it.

When they got downstairs, she quietly took Xue Rui's hand. "I… Let's go back. Are you hungry? I can make you a late-night snack."

The corners of Xue Rui's mouth curled up. 'This girl really did change her mind.'

Just then, Jiang Yuan noticed someone was missing from the group heading to her dorm. After looking around, she spotted Lin Ruoxi standing by a car and called out, "Lin Ruoxi, aren't you coming back to the dorm?"

"No," Lin Ruoxi said quietly.

Jiang Yuan saw that Xue Rui and Lin Ruoxi were holding hands…

'Right, Xue Rui and Lin Ruoxi are a couple. It's pretty normal for a young couple to rent a place off-campus.'

"But, have you completed the paperwork?" Jiang Yuan asked.

"N-No." Lin Ruoxi instantly grew flustered. 'They do room checks at the dorms.'

Jiang Yuan sighed. "You need an off-campus housing application, a safety waiver signed by a parent, and proof of the rental agreement…"

Flustered, Lin Ruoxi pulled out a stack of documents to prove the "legality" of her and Xue Rui living together.

"Here's our application, a copy of the property deed, and the consent form signed by Xue Rui's mom…" Lin Ruoxi explained, showing Jiang Yuan each document one by one.

Xue Rui sucked in a sharp breath. 'To sleep with me, Lin Ruoxi actually managed to get my mom's signature?'

'This girl is so cunning!'

He always thought Lin Ruoxi was so naive she wouldn't even know if someone sold her. But in reality, he was the one who had been "sold" to Lin Ruoxi by his own mother, and he hadn't known a thing about it.

Jiang Yuan sighed, gathered the documents, and said to Lin Ruoxi, "You still have to stay in the dorm until the school approves this. Come on, let's go back."

Those were the rules. The girls' dorms were stricter than the boys', and not returning for the night was a serious offense, especially since the school administration paid close attention to Lin Ruoxi…

She was also the dorm leader. If the administration came asking questions, she couldn't afford to take that responsibility.

"Oh…" Lin Ruoxi pouted, a little unhappy. She hoped the approval process would go quickly.

Xue Rui patted Lin Ruoxi's head. "Go on back. You still have class tomorrow. You can come wake me up."

Not returning to the dorm for the night was a serious matter, in theory, but plenty of students still snuck out to have fun.

The truth was, the boys' dorms weren't managed very strictly, but the girls' dorms were a different story…

This was to be expected. You wouldn't manage a pigsty and a cabbage patch with the same set of rules.

After saying goodbye to Lin Ruoxi at the street corner, Xue Rui headed toward the boys' dorm with the guys from room 622.

"Old Xue, you're moving out in your freshman year?" Qian Huabiao asked.

Xue Rui shrugged. "It's not like I want to. You guys saw it when you were waiting for me—Lin Ruoxi was the one insisting on it."

Qian Huabiao gritted his teeth. 'I never should have asked!'

'Xue Rui's acting so reluctant, as if he's the one getting the raw end of the deal!'

He really wanted to curse him out, but he wasn't staying in the dorm tonight either. He had a date with an upperclassman from Normal University…

"Hehe, Class President, I've got something to take care of tonight, so I'll be heading out." Qian Huabiao gave Xue Rui a suggestive look and offered him a cigarette.

Xue Rui waved him off. "Go on. Just don't die on a woman's belly."

"Don't worry, I'm in great shape." Qian Huabiao glanced around before lowering his voice to speak into his phone, "Babe, I'm on my way to pick you up now."

Zhao Chaojie snorted. "On what grounds? It's only been a few days and he's already calling her 'babe'?"

Xue Rui shook his head. "Birds of a feather flock together. You think that girl is looking for a serious commitment?"

Qian Huabiao having a lot of game was only one part of it. The main thing was, if you were willing to communicate and spend money, you'd always find similar players.

After all, female players have their needs too. It was hard to say who was really getting used.

...

After returning to his dorm, Xue Rui sent Gao Shufen a message on QQ. He wanted to ask how Gu Muxue was doing. He hadn't seen the girl since he apologized to her that day, and all the news he'd gotten had been secondhand from Lin Ruoxi.

He had a nagging feeling that the girl was hiding something from him.

Xue Rui: [Has Muxue eaten tonight?]

「On the other end of the line.」

Gao Shufen glanced at Gu Muxue and quickly typed back a reply: [No, she's just spacing out...]

But the next moment, she realized Gu Muxue had turned her head to look over at her bed.
