I pulled the pillow beside me over my head, attempting to ignore the sound that disturbed my peaceful dreams

Ladies, that guy Xia Zixuan is nothing more than a devil in angel's clothing. Wake up and stop being infatuated with his looks!

Of course, they will not know the reason for my tardiness

Hearing my mother's words, I couldn't help but make a funny face at myself in the mirror

Xia Zixuan saw my appearance, smiled mischievously, and said slowly: "However, the president being the first to arrive late is not a trivial matter. Since I witnessed the entire process, I believe I can still clarify the situation with the director of education."

"President, you know that this week I am responsible for compiling the list of latecomers. I cannot show favoritism, can I?" Xia Zixuan flipped open his notebook, ready to make a note.

Xia Zixuan, you had better not fall into my hands

Indeed, the news of my tardiness spread through the school at lightning speed. In just one morning, from the head of the administration office to the cafeteria staff, everyone knew that the president of the student council, namely yours truly, had the honor of being late today

I pedaled the bicycle at full speed and finally arrived at the school gate with just two minutes to spare before it closed! I couldn't help but let out a long sigh as I pushed the bike towards the gate

I hurriedly reached out to press down on his notebook, smiling while gritting my teeth and said: "Xia Zixuan, even judges in their rulings must consider the principles of law, which ultimately boil down to human feelings!"

However, ideals are abundant, while reality is always stark. Every morning, in the battle of wits with my mother over staying in bed, I am always the one who loses.

It must be said that the white shirt of our school suits Xia Zixuan very well. Under the sunlight, Xia Zixuan, dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, looks extraordinarily handsome and elegant.

Seeing the sly smile at the corner of Xia Zixuan's mouth, I could only feel an itch in my teeth

Speaking of Xia Zixuan, this guy was my classmate in elementary school. We were not in the same school during middle school, and I never expected to reunite with him in high school. Of course, what I least expected was that Xia Zixuan and I would become the president and vice president of the student council at Xiayu High School.

Today, that despicable fellow Xia Zixuan is in charge of compiling the list of latecomers. If I am caught being late by him, I will surely be ridiculed by everyone for an entire week

Xiao Han! Did you hear me calling you? The sun is already shining on your backside, and you are still curled up in bed like this! Hurry up and get up!

Just as I could not help but murmur to myself, an elderly lady who lived near the school and was returning home with groceries dropped her bag of fruit on the ground, causing the oranges inside to roll everywhere. Without thinking much, I immediately stopped my bicycle, crouched down, and helped the elderly lady pick up all the oranges that had fallen on the ground

Several first-year female students were staring intently at Xia Zixuan, and it seemed as if hearts were continuously bubbling in their eyes

Because I am going to be late

Mother's words fell upon me like a bucket of cold water, drenching me from head to toe. I, who had been ensnared by the drowsiness, suddenly opened my eyes wide: "Ah, what? Am I going to be late?"

Xiao Han ... ... Xiao Han ... ... Luo Xiao Han, please wake me up!

The steady footsteps finally came to a stop beside my bed, and then a hand removed the pillow that was covering my head

Saying this, he stepped forward and reopened the locked door

I smiled and waved at her, saying: "No need to thank me"

"You saw it, Vice President. I was just being helpful, so could you please be lenient?" I said, forcing a smile while looking at Xia Zixuan. Although I was filled with resentment, I had to maintain my smile to prevent Xia Zixuan from finding a reason to take advantage of the situation.

I immediately saw Xia Zixuan, dressed in a white shirt, standing at the door, smiling and nodding to the classmates passing by in front of him

On this day, no matter where I went, there would always be someone stepping forward to mock me with glee, saying: "President, you can be late too!"

Xia Zixuan, who was originally joking with the younger female students, did not know when he had already walked to the entrance, and at this moment, he was looking at me with a smile that was not quite a smile, his eyes cunning like an old fox

I rubbed my eyes and, still feeling drowsy, looked at my mother standing beside me with her hands on her hips. I pleaded, "Mom, just let me sleep a little longer! Five more minutes, just five minutes, can you? I beg you!"

Thinking of this, I hurriedly jumped out of bed and rushed to the bathroom, faintly hearing my mother say behind me, "You are like a derailed locomotive all day long"

Hmph, I certainly will not be grateful to him for that

The elderly lady with gray hair smiled at me and said, "Little girl, thank you, thank you!"

This guy is truly infuriating! I was so angry that my teeth itched, staring at him with wide eyes, wishing I could swallow him whole.

Sleep, if you have the ability to sleep, sleep for another five minutes, and the main gate of your school will be closed.

Having spoken, I closed my eyes in a race against time

Every time at this moment, I feel an overwhelming urge to rush in front of Xia Zixuan and give him a powerful shoulder throw. However, considering his height and my identity as a long-term resident, I still gritted my teeth and held back.

It is important to know that once that list of late arrivals is posted, my reputation will be ruined! This is because Xia Yu Middle School places the utmost emphasis on discipline, and as the president of the student council, being the first to arrive late is certainly a topic of discussion!

Because ーー

"Puchi—" Upon hearing my words, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. The morning sunlight was just right, casting a glow on his head, causing his long eyelashes to cast shadows beneath his eyes. "As the president of the student council, you should lead by example. Otherwise, if everyone follows your lead, arriving late with a plethora of excuses, wouldn't everything in the school be thrown into chaos? Being late is being late; arriving half a minute late is still being late, and there are no excuses to be made. Otherwise, if everyone follows your lead, arriving late with a plethora of excuses, wouldn't everything in the school be thrown into chaos? Being late is being late; arriving half a minute late is still being late, and there are no excuses to be made. President, I must register your name on the list of late students and post it on the bulletin board."

However

He looked at me, drenched in sweat, and without any camaraderie typical among classmates, directly said: "President, you are late"

The warm sunlight in the early morning cast a faint orange hue over everyone, making everything appear as beautiful as a painting; however, I, desperately pedaling my bicycle towards school, had no heart to appreciate any of it

As I was speaking, I pushed my bicycle towards the school gate, only to find that the gate had already closed while I was helping the elderly lady pick up oranges
