Don’t Try To Corrupt Me

Chapter 91

The demonic sound rang out, and the waving red flag and solemn podium began to lose seriousness.

These students are really terrible at singing.

Iron Head stood at the back, covering his ears.

How can it be so awful?

It’s so annoying!

The melodious and lingering song could captivate listeners for three days without pause, but in this version, not a single word matched the tune. After three minutes, Iron Head had already forgotten how the original song went.

Although there were mistakes in the singing segment, it was a close call. The grand ceremony for the senior year ended perfectly.

Sheng Yuan came down from the stage and returned to his class.

Xia Zhiqi approached him, his voice sounding like a broken gong, “Brother Sheng, you’re awesome.”

Listening to his Sahara-like voice, Sheng Yuan asked, “What happened to your voice?”

[System: Both of you were temporarily muted by Bao Juan.]

“…”

Xia Zhiqi said, “I sang too forcefully just now.”

The scene just now was a three-way standoff.

One group belonged to Yu Zuojin, another to Sheng Yuan, and there was also Chu Weitian, their mortal enemy, trying to disrupt the singing segment. The singing went off-key and turned into a battle of volume. The damn desire for victory and defeat began to spread from person to person, even within the other classes.

In conclusion: It was embarrassing, but not too embarrassing because they were all involved.

His voice was completely hoarse. It was clear that he put a lot of effort into it.

Sheng Yuan patted his shoulder and said, “Xia Zhiqi, I appreciate your dedication.”

Xia Zhiqi replied like a broken gong, “Brother Sheng.”

Xiao Pang chimed in hoarsely, “Brother Dog, you have a unique way of speaking now.”

Truly Ambitious: It doesn’t seem like you’re doing much better either.

Xia Zhiqi asked, “Tell me about it.”

Xiao Pang said, “Now you have a touch of Brother Yu’s charm in your speech.”

Sheng Yuan: “…”

Truly Ambitious: “…”

Don’t mention this hoarse voice. It does have some resemblance to Yu Zuojin’s unique sound effect.

Sheng Yuan looked at Xia Zhiqi and then glanced at Yu Zuojin, who was standing in the front row of Class 10 not far away.

[System: What are you doing?]

“Just exchanging greetings.”

[System: Don’t let Yu Zuojin find out. If he knows, he’ll get angry.]

Sheng Yuan said, “Yu Zuojin is not an unreasonable person.”

[System: He does physics practicals on people.]

Sheng Yuan “…”

“Prejudice.”

[System: Clearly, it’s your love-struck brain!]

You love brain!

After the end of the grand ceremony, the classes formed orderly lines and left the venue. Sheng Yuan stayed near the awards platform, discussing matters with Iron Head.

Class 9 was followed by Class 10. Yu Zuojin, who was tall, had been assigned to the front row on the right side by the class teacher. As he passed by the awards platform, he happened to make eye contact with Sheng Yuan, with just over a meter between them.

Sheng Yuan lowered his head and looked at the promotional handbook Iron Head had given him. Iron Head was standing beside him, focusing on calming himself. His mind was still filled with that tune that was both terrible and captivating.

What’s the difference between this and pouring garbage into his ears?

Sheng Yuan looked at the handbook attentively. He was dressed in a blue and white school uniform, his figure neat and tidy, his black hair glossy, and he had a pair of clean and beautiful eyes.

His appearance was a very standard and refreshing male high school student look, but his eyes were particularly unique, adding a touch of exquisite color to his overall fresh and clean appearance.

“It was good.”

Iron Head was still captivated by the song, and when he heard these words, he suddenly opened his eyes. He saw Yu Zuojin take a step forward from the line, eagerly approaching Sheng Yuan, and whispered something in his ear before returning to the line.

You brat!

“Yu Zuojin, who allowed you to leave the line!”

Yu Zuojin glanced at him and then looked away.

There were no words, but Iron Head understood.

— You still need to ask? Can’t you see it for yourself? I allowed myself.

Iron Head: “…”

This kid not only disregards authority, but he also speaks shamelessly. His crimes are adding up!

Iron Head: “Don’t listen to his nonsense.”

Sheng Yuan replied, “He wouldn’t deceive me.”

Iron Head: “…”

Then what was he doing just now?!

Tell me.

What was he doing just now?!

Iron Head closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling tortured. He took Sheng Yuan to the school gate.

“We’ll take the promotional photos at the school gate and the school auditorium. Then we’ll go to the library and the dormitory to see if there are any good backdrops.”

The promotional images on the school’s official website need to be updated. They always find students with good looks and excellent temperament to take the photos. After all, the last set of photos was taken ten years ago. If it weren’t for the recent renovations of the school library and dormitory, Iron Head would probably use the same set of photos as the lifelong promotional images.

This task fell on his shoulders, and he immediately had a candidate in mind.

Sheng Yuan, his favorite student. Although he always clashed with Chu Weitian, it did not diminish Iron Head’s fondness for Sheng Yuan.

He was also in line with the candidate criteria, he had a good appearance and excellent temperament, and he was famous in the school. Unfortunately, he had the identity of a delinquent youth. However, after discussing it with the higher-ups, there were no objections.

“Our school needs delinquent youths like him.”

He loves studying, is polite, and even appeared on TV.

The principal of the Education Bureau had emphasized the issue of delinquent youths at a conference before. It was one of the major problems in education, considering the prevailing delinquency in the world. However, Sheng Yuan completely deflected the direction of the wind, and the higher-ups were aware of such a student.

Who else could be a better candidate for publicity than him?

During the conference, a lot of rainbow farts were blown for Sheng Yuan.

And like that, the top candidate for the promotional images was set.

But usually, promotional images feature two people, typically one male and one female. So how should they choose the female?

The school secretary had a youthful heart and suggested, “Let’s hold a vote for the school flower on the forum. The one who comes first will do the shoot.”

The school flower, the belle of the school, should definitely have excellent looks and appearance.

The school leaders immediately instructed the school website to organize a beauty contest for the school flower.

Participants could upload photos of their desired school flower, which could be either themselves or someone else. They could campaign and vote for a week.

As the activity started, the campus forum became lively.

“I can’t help but mention my goddess, Li Dandan.”

“Ah, Huang Jing from the third year looks beautiful too.”

“Can I ask for votes? It’s said that the elected school flower can be in the school’s promotional images for the next ten years. It’s not that I’m dying to be on the official website, but I want to be with Brother Sheng.”

“I was thinking why don’t we have a contest for the school’s most handsome guy? Selecting someone directly for the shoot seems unfair. But if it’s Brother Sheng, then forget it.”

“Vote for me! One vote from you and one vote for me, and tomorrow I’ll be taking photos with Brother Sheng.”

“Wow, I saw the previous promotional images, they had great chemistry.”

“Guys, vote for me, and I’ll form a CP with Brother Sheng!”

“My name is Shen. I’ve already thought of it. The name of our CP will be ‘Abyss CP’!”

*Shen Yuan means abyss

“My name is Fan, does that mean I’ll have to call mine ‘Leftover Food CP’! Don’t hit me with homophones.”

*Sheng Fan means leftover food.

During the break, the physics teacher was chatting, and there were two soft knocks on the door.

“Who’s there?” asked Teacher Li.

Yu Zuojin pushed the door open and entered.

—It’s me, old man.

Teacher Li: “…”

Since Yu Zuojin started studying, he frequently patronized the physics group. Teacher Li felt both pain and joy as he watched Yu Zuojin’s improved physics scores.

He stacked the papers on his desk to the side and brought Yu Zuojin’s seat, where the computer was already on. Yu Zuojin walked over and sat on his designated desk, his large frame of 189 cm making Teacher Li’s desk seem small.

Teacher Li handed him a piece of chocolate and said, “Try it. My niece gave it to me, but it’s too sweet for me.”

Yu Zuojin unwrapped the candy and popped it into his mouth.

“Wait a moment, I need to take care of something first.”

Teacher Li’s mouse went wild as he clicked on the activity thread in the school’s anonymous forum. He scrolled through the photos of the beautiful female high school students, finally finding Li Meihao from Class 1-3.

In the beauty contest, everyone had five votes per day. Teacher Li unhesitatingly cast all his votes for his niece. He proudly pointed at the photo and said, “Isn’t she beautiful? This is my niece, a lively and innocent girl.”

The girl in the photo was pure and lovely, with a small oval face and a pair of sweet round eyes.

The school flower, the embodiment of youthful innocence, was like a shining sun at the flowery age, full of positive thoughts and vitality.

Teacher Li’s face showed disdain, but his words were full of pride. “Since they want to shoot a promotional video, this girl insisted on being a school flower. She even talked about some silly ‘Injustice CP.’ Listen to that ridiculous name.”

*Hao+Yuan translates to injustice in English.

As Teacher Li turned his head, he saw Yu Zuojin’s calm and cold expression.

Oh! What’s happening?

Why isn’t he happy?

Teacher Li: “Is there something that’s bothering you?”

Yu Zuojin stared at him silently.

Teacher Li, being an exemplary teacher, provided psychological counseling to his students.

“Let me tell you a joke.”

Teacher Li cleared his throat and began, “Once upon a time…”

“Skip the joke.”

Teacher Li: “…”

I haven’t even started yet.

Yu Zuojin looked at the activity page of the school’s flower selection on the website, maintaining a calm exterior but feeling a raging fire inside.

Back in the classroom, there were whispered discussions during the self-study period.

“Who did you vote for?”

“I voted for Li Meihao. Teacher Li campaigned for her and I went to check her out. She’s a cute little junior.”

“I voted for Huang Jing.”

“I voted for my girlfriend.” He wore a bitter smile on his face, as voting for his girlfriend meant taking a photo with Sheng Yuan.

“Brother, you’ve got vision!”

“She said if she ends up with Sheng Yuan, the three of us will be together in the future.”

“Hahaha!”

“I still don’t know who to vote for. Five votes a day. Anyone want to buy?”

“Damn, you’re so black. Are you thinking of selling votes? I condemn you.”

“I won’t condemn you. Give me half of the money for the votes. Thanks.”

The class monitor was also busy voting next to Yu Zuojin.

Yu Zuojin looked at him.

The class monitor noticed his gaze and said, “What’s wrong, Brother Yu?”

Yu Zuojin’s voice was cold, “Is it only the school flower who can take photos?”

The class monitor showed him his phone, saying, “Well, that’s how it is. Brother Yu, look, the rules are written there.”

Yu Zuojin frowned.

What damn rules.

The class monitor was curious, “Brother Yu, whom did you vote for?”

“I still don’t know whom to vote for. If you want, I can help campaign for the person you support. If you vote for someone, I’ll vote for them too.”

Yu Zuojin didn’t say anything. He turned his head, and continued working on his exercises.

But the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he felt.

His eyes grew darker and darker. He hasn’t even taken a photo with Sheng Yuan yet.

That evening, a passport photo with a red-background emerged out of nowhere in the school flower selection.

School forum:

“??? Who’s so reckless as to upload Yu Zuojin’s photo?”
