Chapter 167 Ma Ke

"Have you ever considered applying to the student council?"

Xiao Baihua asked Ma Ke with a smile, a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

"Joining the student union will have many unexpected benefits for your future career development."

Xiao Baihua continued speaking, while gently handing the slightly worn stack of paper to Ma Ke.

Ma Ke took the stack of documents, flipped through them casually, and found that they contained information on the learning content of various departments of the student union, as well as related certificate exams.

It turns out that the knowledge and skills learned by the student council can be put to use in society, and they can also provide various photos and detailed information so that future student council members can integrate into society more smoothly after leaving campus.

It must be said that the things taught by the various departments of the student union are all solid and practical, the certificates obtained are truly valuable, and most of the activities that students participate in are closely related to real society.

"These materials were given to me by the president. I just happened to be passing by and brought them over for him," Xiao Baihua explained.

She is the president of the Finance Association, a position she has held for four years. She is about to retire this year, but has not yet found a suitable successor.

Ma Ke carefully examined the documents in his hand and asked with some concern, "When does the student council start accepting applications?"

He has recently signed up for many professional competitions and is worried that there will be scheduling conflicts.

Upon hearing Ma Ke's question, Xiao Baihua thought for a moment and then gently replied, "Registration will officially begin after National Day, so if you'd like to find a quiet place during this time, you might as well stay in the student council for now."

"That way, even if someone wants to cause you trouble, they'll have to think twice about whether they have the ability to do so."

After speaking, Xiao Baihua gave Ma Ke a smiling look.

Ma Ke suddenly stopped in his tracks, staring directly at Xiao Baihua with a look of confusion and disbelief in his eyes. His voice sounded somewhat inexplicable: "You all know about all the things that happened at school?"

Upon hearing his words, Xiao Baihua's smile blossomed like a blooming flower: "What you're saying is true. Since our student council can assist the school in handling some affairs, it naturally has certain powers. For example... we know the entire campus surveillance system inside and out!"

Ma Ke slowly lowered his head, his gaze falling on the thick document in his hand. After a long silence, he finally raised his head and said seriously, "Since you are members of the student council, why don't you completely prevent such behavior from happening?"

In fact, Ma Ke only wanted to read books in peace and quiet, and he knew absolutely nothing about matters of love and romance.

However, he was constantly being forced to get involved, which gradually led him to have thoughts of jumping off a building to commit suicide.

Xiao Baihua listened quietly to his words, which were almost tinged with resentment, with a faint smile still on her lips. She said softly, "Lia University is so big, with so many students. How can just a few of us manage everything perfectly? As long as no one dies, that's fine."

Then, she took a small step forward, closer to Ma Ke, and continued earnestly, "Besides, I think you've limited your own thinking."

"All the knowledge and skills you've learned can be applied flexibly."

"Sometimes, showing your vulnerable side appropriately can actually make you feel more relaxed and comfortable."

At this point, she blinked and added with a half-smile, "Besides, don't you also think that she's not a good person?"

"So, why make things difficult for yourself? Okay, that's all for now, bye!"

After saying that, Xiao Baihua turned and left gracefully, leaving Ma Ke standing alone, lost in deep thought.

Sunlight streamed down the campus paths as Ma Ke clutched the important document tightly in his hand and hurried toward the teaching building.

However, before he could reach his destination, a group of figures suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his way.

The girl in the lead was wearing a black leather jacket adorned with glittering studs, exuding a punk style.

Her wild red hair was braided into tiny braids, dancing wildly in the air.

With heavy purple smoky eye makeup at the corners of her eyes and mysterious black lipstick on her lips, she looked like a rebellious and individualistic young woman.

The girls standing next to her were dressed similarly to her and all had pretty faces, but their actions were in stark contrast to hers.

"Ma Ke, what's your decision?" the girl in the lead asked first, her voice tinged with urgency.

"Are you going to be my boyfriend or not?" She approached Ma Ke step by step, staring intently at him as if trying to see right through him.

Faced with the girls' aggressive questioning, Ma Ke pursed his lips slightly and remained silent.

Then, without hesitation, he turned around and prepared to return the way he came.

However, upon seeing this, the girls immediately rushed forward, laughing and surrounding him once again.

One of the girls even said provocatively, "Ma Ke, don't be ungrateful!"

Another girl chimed in, "That's right! It's incredibly lucky that our Sister Li has taken a liking to you!"

Another girl added, "It's been a week already, shouldn't you have thought it through by now?"

The last girl threatened, "Otherwise, the whole school might be buzzing about you molesting Sister Li tomorrow!"

"Hmph! This might even reach the ears of your frail old mother! Let's see what you do then!"

One of the girls said fiercely.

As soon as he finished speaking, several other girls rushed forward and grabbed Ma Ke tightly, rendering him completely immobile.

With a loud crash, the documents in Ma Ke's hands scattered all over the floor.

The girl called Sister Li, on the other hand, appeared to be much bolder and more unrestrained.

Without any hesitation, she stepped forward and, right in front of everyone, kissed Ma Ke on the cheek.

The sticky sensation, like a venomous snake's forked tongue licking his cheek, instantly turned Ma Ke's face pale and then ashen, and a wave of nausea welled up in his eyes.
