Lu Haoran was really impressed. The class cadre competition was so fierce, being a small class cadre was already pretty good, and his close buddy actually stood out among so many people to become class president!

"What's so hard about it? Just go up there and brag a bit!"

Su Zelin was unconcerned.

"Uh, is it really that easy?"

Lu Haoran was a bit skeptical.

But then again, his buddy did have an amazing way with words. He could make the dead sound alive, and the straight sound bent. It had only been less than a month since school started, and the classmates didn't know about his past as a slacker. With a bit of persuasion, he might really get elected as class president.

"Zelin, you're amazing!"

The honest guy was impressed.

He was still feeling smug about becoming a room leader, only to find out his buddy had become the boss in one step.

"Yeah, just a class president, it's nothing special."

Su Zelin didn't really brag. He had managed a big company smoothly in his past life, so becoming a class president was no big deal.

No matter what, Lu Haoran was happy for him, but he reminded, "Zelin, since you are the class president now, you have to do a good job. You must lead by example and can't be like you were before!"

"Of course, I'm the boss now, haven't I got to look after my little brothers?"

Su Zelin patted his chest.

The honest guy thought, that sounded right, but why did it sound so odd?

His buddy didn't seem like he became a class president,

More like he became a gang leader on Bolan Street.

"Oh, right, Zelin!"

Lu Haoran seemed to remember something and asked, "Are you going home for National Day?"

"No, it's been less than a month since starting school, so let's skip going home for National Day. Better to take the chance to explore Lin'an. Why?"

Su Zelin replied without even thinking.

"Haha, you think the same as us!"

Lu Haoran said happily.

"Us?"

Su Zelin asked, puzzled.

"Xiaoyanzi and I. She doesn't plan to go back for National Day either, and since she's been in Lin'an for a while but never really explored, the small National Day break is a great chance. We can invite you and Qin Shiqing for a little get-together."

The honest guy laid out his plans.

He was still a bit disappointed about not seeing his close buddy at the last Mid-Autumn Festival hometown gathering.

"Hmm, a National Day gathering..."

Going out with Qin Shiqing alone was definitely not going to happen, but a group outing was fine.

Plus, by National Day, it would be about ten days since he last saw her at Mid-Autumn Festival.

That interval seemed about right.

Thinking back, he really hadn't hung out with his good buddy or Xiaoyanzi after arriving in Lin'an. If this continued, they'd really grow distant.

"Alright then, let's go have some fun together!"

Su Zelin quickly made the decision.

"That's great, Zelin! I'll tell Xiaoyanzi the good news later, she'll be thrilled. You missed the last hometown gathering and she was going on and on about how busy you've been since you started college!"

Lu Haoran was really looking forward to the National Day gathering.

"Oh, seems like you and Xiaoyanzi are in touch quite often! Hey young man, there's a bright future ahead!"

Su Zelin joked.

During the break, it was he who facilitated their trip to Lin'an together.

This trip seemed to have added a new dimension to the relationship between his buddy and Xiaoyanzi.

"Not really, we just chat occasionally on QQ or call. We're all friends, after all."

The little cutie was a bit embarrassed.

"Strike while the iron's hot, make it to first base soon!"

"Sheesh, Zelin, stop joking around!"

"..."

National Day arrived as scheduled.

On October 1st, at a quarter past 8 in the morning, Lu Haoran stood by the gate of Zhejiang University.

Today, they had planned to hang out, meeting at Zhejiang University first before taking a bus to their destination.

The agreed meeting time was 8:30, but the honest guy didn't dare to slack off because Su Zelin had instructed him to arrive before Xiaoyanzi to show sincerity, so Lu Haoran arrived nearly twenty minutes early.

Though he was a college student, the honest guy still wasn't used to being outside alone.

The gate of Zhejiang University always had people coming and going, and whenever a girl glanced over, the little cutie turned red, feeling uneasy and tortured, like enduring a day that felt like a year.

The little cutie's personality was the complete opposite of social butterfly Su Zelin. If he was alone in public, he'd be totally at a loss.

He glanced at his wristwatch almost every few seconds, and today time felt particularly slow.

If the little cutie had looked more suspicious, he might have been mistaken for a thief, skulking by the gate and looking around. Luckily, Lu Haoran's honest face might as well have "I'm very honest" written all over it, so the security at Zhejiang University didn't bother him.

"Lu Haoran!"

While he was feeling restless, a female voice came from behind. Turning around, he saw Tang Yan.

Phew, Xiaoyanzi was here!

The honest guy's tense body quickly relaxed.

When Su Zelin wasn't around, only Xiaoyanzi could make him feel at ease.

"What were you doing skulking around in the corner?"

Xiaoyanzi asked suspiciously.

"No, nothing. There were so many people at the gate, I was worried I'd block their way!"

Lu Haoran quickly explained.

"The entrance is big enough, and it's not like they don't have eyes!"

Xiaoyanzi replied snappily.

She could kind of guess the reason why.

Lu Haoran was great in every way, except he really was timid, earning him the nickname given by Su Zelin.

They were college students already; couldn't he toughen up a bit?

Xiaoyanzi found his lack of progress frustrating.
