"A'zi, do you really have feelings for Lin Feng?" Ning Aoxue stared at Su Zi, asking earnestly.

"I don't know..." Su Zi stuck out her pink tongue, her voice tinged with bewilderment. "When I didn't know Lin Feng had a girlfriend, I had a great time with him, just like we were buddies. But now that he suddenly has a girlfriend, I can't help but feel a bit uncomfortable! It's like my favorite toy was snatched away by someone else. Aoxue, what should I do?"

Ning Aoxue pursed her lips, pondered for a moment, then said softly to Su Zi, "I don't know exactly what you're thinking. What I can tell you is, no matter what you choose, don't let yourself be wronged..."

Don't let myself be wronged? What kind of answer is that? Judging by Ning Aoxue's words, it seems like she's encouraging me to snatch Lin Feng from that girl? Su Zi became even more confused. But can I really snatch him away? Lin Feng isn't a toy... And more importantly, deep down, I haven't even decided if I want to be with him. It would be rushing things to compete for him now. Most importantly, as her best friend, I know Aoxue also harbors some ambiguous feelings for Lin Feng. If I really want to end up with him, I'd probably have to 'take down' my best friend here first...

"Alright, alright... I don't want to think about it anymore..." I can't figure this out just by mulling it over, Su Zi thought. She shook her head, trying to clear the unnecessary thoughts, and glanced at the speech Ning Aoxue was writing. Curiosity flickered in Su Zi's eyes. "Hey, Miss Ning, are you planning to run for Chair of our School's Student Union?"

"It's for Vice Chair..." Ning Aoxue corrected earnestly, biting her lower lip. "To run for Chair of our School's Student Union, you have to be at least a sophomore. My qualifications aren't sufficient yet."

"Vice Chair is still incredibly impressive!" Su Zi exclaimed with a touch of exaggeration. "You're only a freshman! If you successfully become Vice Chair, you might even become the Chair of the university-wide Student Union one day..."

"It's too early to say anything for sure!" Ning Aoxue flushed slightly at Su Zi's words. "Don't be ridiculous..."

"How am I being ridiculous? Miss Ning always succeeds at whatever she puts her mind to! Let me see, who are your main competitors?" Su Zi curiously peered at the names Ning Aoxue had jotted down in her notebook. "Li Jing, head of the Academic Department; Chen Xiaoru, head of the Secretariat; and Zhang Kuan, head of the Organization Department... It seems the heads of these core departments are all formidable opponents, worthy of your attention, Miss Ning... By the way, I remember Lin Feng is the Head of the Athletics Department, right? He's also qualified to run. I wonder if he's planning to participate?"

"Lin Feng, run in the election?" Ning Aoxue cast a peculiar glance towards the back row where Lin Feng was still asleep, then shook her head. "Running for Student Union Chair isn't about brawling; that's not his forte..."

"Who says Lin Feng isn't good at it?" Su Zi sounded a little indignant. "He didn't seem particularly adept before becoming Head of the Athletics Department either, did he? But look at him now, he's doing a great job... Miss Ning, don't underestimate Lin Feng. Although he likes to boast, if he really sets his mind on doing something, there's truly nothing he can't achieve."

"You trust him a lot, don't you?" Ning Aoxue glanced curiously at Su Zi. "So, you think Lin Feng could become Vice Chair?"

"If Lin Feng takes the election seriously, I think he could win..." Su Zi declared confidently, patting her chest.

"A'zi, you've changed..." Ning Aoxue gazed at Su Zi, her voice soft. "You always used to support me. Now you've defected and are supporting Lin Feng..."

"No, I haven't!" Su Zi's beautiful eyes widened as she looked at Ning Aoxue with an innocent expression. "I still support you! It's just that my assessment of the situation contradicts my personal preference, that's all..."

What kind of explanation is that? She's already convinced Lin Feng will win. No matter how much she says she supports me, it's just lip service... Ning Aoxue was increasingly speechless at Su Zi's shamelessness.

The day passed uneventfully. Around six in the evening, after Lin Feng, Ning Aoxue, and Su Zi had dinner with their former roommates in the school cafeteria, they began heading towards Meeting Room No. 3 in the library.

Meeting Room No. 3 in the library was the Student Union's meeting place. This large room, capable of seating two hundred people, had been booked by the School of Management Student Union two weeks in advance. The Student Union had roughly 160 members, so a 200-seat room was a perfect fit.

After signing in, Lin Feng found their pre-arranged seats, located where the sections for the Business Administration Class and the Finance Class met. He let Ning Aoxue and Su Zi slip into the inner seats first, then sat down on the aisle seat beside Su Zi.

The reason Lin Feng sat so close wasn't to gain an advantage by proximity. With so many people at this meeting, who knows if some oddball might have snuck in, planning something harmful against Ning Aoxue? I need to be near to protect her! That was Lin Feng's primary concern.

However, others did not see it that way.

All the boys from both the Finance Class and the Business Administration Class who knew Lin Feng glared at him and began whispering amongst themselves.

"That Lin Feng is too much! He hovers over Ning Aoxue and Su Zi all day, acting like the two great beauties are his private property. He doesn't even give other guys a chance to talk to them!"

"Yeah, and he's not even dating either Ning Aoxue or Su Zi, but he struts around like he's a big deal. It's ridiculous!"

"With his dorky looks, there's no way Ning Aoxue or Su Zi would actually like him. They're obviously just using him as a shield. The laughable part is, the guy actually seems to enjoy it!"

"Whatever, there are plenty of losers out there happy to be a backup option. He's just one more of them! We should focus on figuring out how to pick up girls!"

Similar hushed criticisms were abundant. With Lin Feng's sharp hearing and eyesight, it was difficult not to overhear them. However, he couldn't care less; what others thought was completely irrelevant to him.

But what happened next was very much his concern.

Suddenly, at the entrance of the meeting room, a beautiful girl appeared. She wore a white dress and exuded an aura of purity, like a delicate white lotus. Holding a brown, soft-leather notebook with a pen tucked into it, she gracefully entered and began to scan the room, as if searching for someone...

"Wow! That's Sister Li Leping! She's even more beautiful in person than in the promotional videos!"

"It looks like Senior Sister Li is searching for something. Quick, let's go offer our help..."

A pack of leering admirers, practically drooling, didn't even wait for Li Liping to ask. They eagerly swarmed forward, attempting to ingratiate themselves.

"What are you looking for, Senior Sister Li?"

"Do you need any help, Senior Sister Li?"

In truth, Li Liping was looking for Lin Feng. He was the reason she'd lost a Porsche Carrera GT to her cousin, Cao Ying, and she'd been fuming about it for the past two days. Knowing Lin Feng would be at this evening's meeting, she wanted to find out from him directly if he and her cousin Cao Ying had conspired to trick her!

"Excuse me, juniors," Li Liping said with a graceful smile, nodding gently at the eager group. "Could you please help me? I'm looking for Lin Feng from the Business Administration Class!"
