49 The Vice President is Secretly a Sadist 1 (2/2)

Liang Xiu also replied kindly, and the two began chatting away in a very friendly manner as Yin Mei sat down at He Lanying's desk, taking out the work that she had to do. Yin Mei herself didn't really like paperwork, and nor was she particularly skilled at it, but she had gained an ungodly amount of patience after experiencing 500 years of imprisonment, and also had all the knowledge that she needed in He Lanying's head. So she efficiently went through and completed all the paperwork that she needed to very diligently, completely ignoring the existence of the other two in the room, who had finished talking to each other and were also now each attending to their respective duties.

Yin Mei had transmigrated in at the time when the female lead had just entered the student council under the invitation of the president. It was only a few months after the beginning of the new year, and she was a first year student, while both the president, vice-president, and He Lanying were in their second years.

Thankfully, He Lanying had yet to do anything to Wen Hua, though she had displayed some obvious dissatisfaction toward her on some occasions, resulting in her currently being bullied by a few kids who wanted to get He Lanying's favor.

Yin Mei didn't really have any interest in this scholarship student that was so stupid despite ranking top in all the tests and had a man saving her all the time.

She was only concerned with her own free time. Of course, she planned on completing whatever mission the system gave her, but to her, this world was her vacation - her holiday break. She was going to do this as leisurely as possible.

As the three of them worked quietly, several more of the student council members began to filter in. Wen Hua was the first one to come in after them. She had an appearance reminiscent of that of a small animal, looking very cute with her small face and big eyes. It was an appearance that made one desire to protect her, but Yin Mei didn't have such feelings.

People should be able to protect themselves.

She didn't need anyone's protection. Not anymore. She wouldn't let anyone protect her, this time.

She paused, wondering why she had thought ”this time”, blanking out a little, though her hands continued to move robotically to complete her work.

It was only when the male lead walked in that Yin Mei's attention refocused. Rong Sheng had a handsome face with raven black hair and the typical domineering aura that came from being a protagonist and heir to a major corporation.

He was the very last one into the student council room, as he always was. Yin Mei didn't even know what he came here for, when he didn't even do anything.

Whenever He Lanying had gone over to discuss something with him or hand him papers for him to approve, he had always been looking at other things on his computer, like the state of the stock market, or emails from the employees of his family's company. In other words, he had been taking care of personal business.

Well, after thinking about it, it didn't matter that much to Yin Mei anyways. The true boss of the student council had always been the vice-president, who took care of almost everything. The president was only there to approve proposals or something along those lines.

Yin Mei, from her position close to the president, could see that Wen Hua had been shooting the man looks since the moment he entered. She didn't think that there was any real thing going on between them yet, with the president only interested in her talent right now.

She briefly checked the mission, so that she could know if she would need to interfere in their little love story to complete it. She was in no hurry, but she also couldn't fail the mission.

”Main mission: Marry Yao Heyan.”

”...” She felt that the system was getting more and more glitchy these days. She coldly set down her pen, opening up the student council QQ group on her desk computer. They also had a WeChat group, but their WeChat group was mostly used for socializing, while the QQ group was for business and discussing their work and student council duties.

(A/N: QQ and WeChat are both extremely popular and well known Chinese messaging/social media, QQ is for computer only, while WeChat was designed for the phone)

She sent a few files pertaining to the upcoming culture festival, and then browsed the internet for a little bit, doing some research and calculations. Though Yin Mei herself was tempted to play around and relax, she felt like she was affected a little by He Lanying's dutiful personality that refused to slack off. Just as she was about to close her window and power down the computer to finish for the day, she received an instant message alert for Yao Heyan.

She opened it up and saw that he was asking a few questions about the files that she had sent earlier.

”Why don't you just ask in person?” She typed out, feeling a little odd. They were only a few feet away, but he insisted on sending her a chat message instead?

She looked up and saw him glance toward her as well. He turned back to his own computer screen and typed something, another alert appearing on her chat message window

”I didn't want to bother anyone, since they all seemed so busy and diligent.” Yao Heyan said, and Yin Mei glanced around briefly. Everyone was hard at work, and there was little chatting going on. The culture festival was coming up soon, so the student council was extremely busy. None of them needed to ask questions either, as they had all been together since middle school and some of them since elementary school as well.

Blue Cross Academy was an escalator school, and most of the time, those who were student council members in elementary would remain student council members up until high school, unless extreme circumstances prevented them from doing so.

That's why they could all quietly work together like this for long periods of time, almost like a well oiled machine.

The only one that stood out was... Wen Hua. She was like a wrench that had suddenly been thrown into their well oiled machine, completely destroying the harmony that the student council previously had. In the storyline, because of Wen Hua, several members in the student council had quit and the rest had begun taking different sides. She had almost completely split apart the student council with her arrival.

But, it had yet to get to that point. Currently, there were only a few people showing dissatisfaction toward her. The main reason was the fact that the members of the student council were all very elitist and the organization itself tended to be quite exclusive. To have a clumsy outsider that understood nothing of the school rules and traditions barge in upon them was offensive in their eyes.

He Lanying was included among those that thought that way.

The current Yin Mei didn't care, as long as she didn't do anything drastic.

Yin Mei turned her attention back to her computer screen, and proceeded to answer any questions that Yao Heyan had, her answers succinct and to the point.

After that, she noticed that the other members were all preparing to leave, as the day was almost over. Many of them began saying goodbye to each other politely, to which Yin Mei only briefly nodded at a few that she noticed. Since she herself still had some work left over, she stayed to continue working, and before she knew it, only her and Yao Heyan were left in the room.

The setting sun washed the room in a thin veil of golden-orange, as the two quietly sat, only the sound of typing or the scratching of a pen on paper could be heard.

For the first time in a long time, Yin Mei felt truly relaxed. She felt comforted that that person was by her side, despite the current distance between them.

(A/N: Because I really want to write something peaceful and not too overly filled with death, blood, and tension, that's what this world will be. Of there's going to be some drama, but not on the level of me killing everyone.

Let's teach pronunciation! The He in He Lanying and Yao Heyan's names are not pronounced with a long e sound, but instead a short e sound. For Yao Heyan's name, it's the character for lotus, and for He Lanying, it's the character for river.

The two novels I used for reference: Dominion's End and Quickly Wear the Face of a Devil. I recommend both. But the second one is BL/yaoi/danmei, to anyone who isn't comfortable with that genre.)
