I'm really not the god of time.

Chapter 78 Representatives of University Freshmen

Zhang Lingyun could only respond with an awkward yet polite smile.

She said she only loves studying and has no interest in dating.

After the college entrance examination —

It was the longest vacation of my life.

If you want to be this leisurely again, you'll have to wait until your next life.

Zhang Lingyun's classmates were having a blast, and many of them invited her to go out and have some fun together.

But Zhang Lingyun was not so lucky.

Lan Ruoxi probably wanted to deliberately make things difficult for him, so she assigned him a lot of homework and arranged a lot of internships.

Bai Lu suffered along with him, often having to go out with him.

In Lan Ruoxi's words, the junior brother's problem was caused by the senior sister's lax supervision.

Zhang Lingyun is not only busy during the day, but also has to work on Xia Youran at night.

Not that kind of busyness, but real busyness.

Xia Youran also needs to prepare for the college entrance examination; she is determined to apply to Green Island University.

But this little devil was a poor student who had basically never studied properly before, and her parents had never cared about her, so Zhang Lingyun had to tutor her from scratch.

Fortunately, she's not stupid, and with the bonus points for being a "witch," she should be able to get accepted just short of the cutoff score.

Of course, if she fails the exam, Zhang Lingyun will also ask Lan Ruoxi to help her find a solution.

Anyway, he couldn't let Xia Youran go to a university in another city.

She's my own "resurrection armor" and my own "happy water"—I can't live without her for even a day.

Summer vacation passed quickly.

Green Island University welcomed its new class of freshmen, and then began their intensive military training.

Zhang Lingyun made up an excuse and easily avoided the topic.

There was no other way; given his current physical condition, this kind of training could be fatal.

Really!

If he didn't control his strength and threw a military punch, he might kill the instructor.

By the time everyone had gotten a deep tan, preparations for the freshman welcome party had begun.

We need to find a student representative from among the freshmen to give a speech on the stage.

That day, Zhang Lingyun was engrossed in the library when members of the student council came to her door.

A female senior with long braids dressed up as a tough, unsophisticated person:

"Hello Zhang Lingyun, we have reviewed the freshmen's files and found that you were admitted through a special recommendation program and are also Professor Lan's student."

Therefore, the student council unanimously decided that you would serve as the representative of this year's freshmen.

However, Zhang Lingyun wasn't very interested in this kind of thing and made up an excuse to decline.

This disappointed the senior with the long braid, so she had to find a second candidate.

While eating lunch in the cafeteria, Zhang Lingyun looked at the stewed eyeballs in the soup and listened to Wang Dong bragging next to him.

This guy actually got into Green Island University, but only for a regular academic major.

At this moment, Gao Yuanfan and Zhuang Wenwen passed by.

Gao Yuanfan, with an arrogant air, deliberately stopped at their table and raised his voice, saying:

"Wenwen, do you think I should wear a suit or casual clothes that day? After all, I'm going to give a speech in front of the whole school, so I need to take it seriously."

Zhuang Wenwen smiled and chimed in:

"You look good in anything, you're definitely the most handsome one there."

Gao Yuanfan raised his chin smugly, glanced at Zhang Lingyun sideways, and spoke with a tone full of sarcasm.

"Sigh, some people, even if they can get in through connections, what good is it if they get into university? This honor of speaking on behalf of the freshmen will never come to them."

After all, the academy has discerning eyes; everyone knows who the real talent is and who the slacker is.

Zhang Lingyun was stunned for a moment.

I never expected that the speech I declined would end up being given to this guy.

Wang Dong, with his back to Gao Yuanfan, rolled his eyes dramatically.

Zhuang Wenwen simply stood to the side, a faint smile on her face. She neither echoed Gao Yuanfan nor spoke up for Zhang Lingyun.

Her eyes darted between the two men as she mentally calculated her own plans.

Gao Yuanfan is currently a representative of the new students, enjoying immense prestige, so we should go along with him for now.

But Zhang Lingyun has Lan Ruoxi behind him and a bright future ahead, so he also needs to have a backup plan.

Zhang Lingyun was getting annoyed by the noise.

He didn't even bother to lift his head; with a slight twitch of his fingertips, he unleashed [Mage's Hand].

[The Mage's Hand] plucked a soft, stewed eyeball from the broth and flicked it precisely at Gao Yuanfan's face.

With a "snap".

His eyeballs exploded like grapes, and soup splashed all over Gao Yuanfan's face, ruining his carefully applied makeup.

Gao Yuanfan was trembling with anger, and pointed at Zhang Lingyun, saying:

"You! How dare you hit me!"

Zhang Lingyun shrugged, looking completely innocent.

"When did I hit you? You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."

Knowing he wouldn't gain any advantage, Gao Yuanfan could only utter a few more harsh words:

"You're just jealous! You're just jealous that I got to be the freshman representative! You'll never stand on that stage, you'll never be as good as me!"

Zhang Lingyun snorted coldly and said:

"Really? You think you're so great? Then let's see if you can even stand still."

Afterwards, Zhang Lingyun contacted the student council's senior with the long braid.

"Hello senior, I'm Zhang Lingyun. I've changed my mind and suddenly I'm interested in giving a speech on behalf of the freshmen."

The senior student was naturally very happy and quickly said:

"Great! I'll prepare your speech right away. We also need to tell the other candidate they don't need to prepare one."

But Zhang Lingyun said:

"Senior, there's no need to notify him. If I have something urgent to attend to, he can fill in for me."

So, please let that candidate continue preparing; don't reveal the details to him yet.

The senior with the long braid paused for a moment, feeling that this was rather unfair.

However, Zhang Lingyun is Lan Ruoxi's apprentice, so his future prospects are self-evident.

Someone like her, who's involved in the student council, naturally knows how to make choices that are more advantageous to her.

Therefore, this senior student followed Zhang Lingyun's advice and did not tell Gao Yuanfan about this matter.

Gao Yuanfan knew nothing about this.

He was still excitedly preparing his speech, imagining himself shining on the podium.

She won the screams of all the girls in the school, especially the adoration of Zhuang Wenwen.

He had no idea that he was about to become a laughing stock.

During this period, Gao Yuanfan was arrogant and haughty every day.

He wanted to tell everyone he knew that he was the freshman representative.

Wherever he went, he carried with him that speech manuscript that had been revised eight times.

Even if he encounters a dog on the roadside, he has to recite a couple of opening lines.

Even Wang Dong couldn't stand it anymore.

These past few days, he hasn't bothered to brag during lunch.

Instead, they started criticizing Gao Yuanfan:

"Look at his scoundrel behavior! He's just a freshman representative, but he acts like he's the principal!"

Zhang Lingyun scooped up a spoonful of stewed eyeballs and responded casually with two utterances:

"Uh-huh!"

Wang Dong was somewhat displeased:

"What's wrong with you? Come on, let's yell at him together!"

Zhang Lingyun smiled slightly:

"What's the point of scolding him? Just wait and see the show."
