Chapter 38: The Student Council Exam

  The student union election is approaching, Su Yanran is well-prepared and passed the written test smoothly. Su Yan followed closely behind her, passing with second place results. In the subsequent interview, both Su Yanran and Su Yan were very successful, until the third round of physical testing, where Su Yan hesitated slightly, because the physical test required a long jump and a 1000-meter run for men. Su Yan couldn't even do a decent long jump, either falling over or jumping too short to meet the standards, not even close to passing. The 1000-meter run was even more of a pipe dream, he could barely finish 500 meters without collapsing, which would have left Su Yanran in awe.

  Su Youyan advised him not to take the physical test, otherwise if he fainted halfway through, wouldn't she have to take care of him? But Su Yan insisted on participating.

  The physical test was in three days, and Su Yan practiced on the playground every day after class, jumping far, running, and not stopping for a moment. Sometimes he was so tired that he couldn't even stand up, sometimes he was so exhausted that he almost fainted, but he still persisted, still fighting desperately.

  Su Yanran knew that he had been working hard all along, so as not to drag her down, he had been making an effort... If Su Yan was a bastard brother, if Su Yan was a willful brother, if Su Yan was a very disobedient brother, she could have just walked away with a pat on the butt... But he was so obedient, so well-behaved, so sensible, even to the point of being excessive, and his cleverness made her want to throttle him! She simply had no way to drive him away from her side, all she could do was watch over him, always protecting him by her side.

  Su Yan fell ill after running for two days in a row and was lying in the school infirmary. When Su Yang went to see him, he turned over with a sad face, not wanting her to see his face: "Sorry..."

  "What's wrong with you?" Su suddenly shouted out loud: "Do you want to exhaust yourself to death before you're satisfied?!"

  Su Yan stopped talking and leaned against the wall, hugging his pillow pitifully. Su Yang said with a sigh: "Even if you don't get into the student council, I can still protect you."

  "My... voice was a little choked: "I don't want you to always protect me..."

  He didn't want to always hide behind her, he didn't want to just watch her get hurt every time and be unable to protect her! Just like the other day when he saw her swollen face, it was clear she had been hit, but no matter what he asked, she wouldn't say a word. If he could become stronger, if he could protect her by his side, if he could... at least he would be able to protect his own sister like everyone else!

  "What's wrong!" Su Yanran stretched out her hand and heavily knocked on his skull: "Thinking of living alone like this? In the future, after we graduate and work, there will be plenty of time for you to live a carefree life. Don't cry then, it's not easy to live alone."

  Su Yan wanted to refute, but seeing Su Yang's expression of being nonchalant, he swallowed his words.

  On the day of the physical test, Su Yan also went, but unfortunately lost in the first test. After that, Su Central, still ranked first with all first scores and successfully entered the student union.

  The student union will have a discipline inspection department, and what she will be doing from now on is to wear an armband to manage a large group of noisy and unruly students.
