They don't actually think I like them, do they?

"Attending a funeral??"

“Five days, that’s reasonable, isn’t it?” Lin Han said.

"Holy crap, whose death is so important? They actually sent our top student away for five days?" Xu Hui grabbed Lin Han's hand, shocked. "Are you dead?"

"It's a pity she's still alive," Lin Han said.

"Actually, it's just an excuse. I'm going to Hokkaido in a couple of days."

Lin Han had nothing to hide from Xu Hui and told him the truth.

What are you going to Hokkaido for?

Xu Hui was getting anxious. With Lin Han gone, he would be lonely for a long time.

"Mangzi asked me to go on a trip with her and a few other girls from her group to the beach for five days to serve four idols. Ugh, so annoying~" Lin Han sighed.

"What the hell??????"

Xu Hui was so excited that his veins bulged, and he slammed his hand on the table and shouted.

The other students in the class who were doing their homework quickly cast strange glances at him, and Xu Hui hurriedly lowered his head.

But he still stared wide-eyed, his bloodshot eyes trembling as he grabbed Lin Han's shoulder.

"really?"

"Otherwise, why would I lie to you about something so trivial? Mangzi insists that their entire group can't find a single reliable male friend and has to ask me. He even waited for me at the school gate just now. It's so annoying. I've missed three days of classes; how much knowledge am I going to fall behind on..."

Lin Han was heartbroken. Even with the system's reward missions as consolation, he still felt it was a very bad deal.

Xu Hui held Lin Han's shoulder and cried, "Stop talking, I'm so anxious, I'm completely anxious. When you said those words, I felt it as if those things had really happened. Your sharp words made me feel like a thousand arrows were piercing my heart. My hands are shaking, I'm sweating, and I even bit my tongue. At this moment, I've really broken down, completely broken down."

Seeing Lin Han traveling with four beautiful girls is more painful than being stabbed to death with four knives!

"Didn't you say I was content to listen to the math teacher give hypnotic lectures every day? Now I know, it's the best blessing! I really envy you being able to continue enjoying this kind of happiness!" Lin Han sighed.

"Don't be envious. When you come back, you will see a corpse."

Xu Huisheng said dejectedly,

"If you have any conscience at all, remember to show me Mangzi's swimsuit photos when you're playing at the beach..."

After class, Lin Han went to the office alone.

Although it was already evening self-study time, Li Hong, the homeroom teacher who always stayed with her students until the very last moment, was still here grading homework.

"Sister Li." Lin Han stood at the door and knocked twice.

"Lin Han?"

Upon seeing Lin Han, Li Hong also put on a smile.

"Please come in."

Li Hong really liked this classmate who was handsome and a pillar of the class academically.

"What's up?"

"Sister Li, I'd like to ask you for leave." Lin Han placed the leave slip on the table.

Like Xu Hui, Li Hong was also very surprised when she learned that Lin Han wanted to take leave.

"where are you going?"

As Li Hong spoke, she took Lin Han's leave slip and read it carefully.

"A distant relative of mine passed away, and I need to go to attend the funeral for a few days," Lin Han said.

Not to mention distant relatives, in fact, Lin Han, who grew up alone, didn't have a single blood relative by his side.

However, as long as he says he's going to a funeral, Lin Han can occupy the moral high ground and won't have to worry about not being able to get leave.

"Is that so... Please accept my condolences. However, if you need to take more than three days off, you need to report it to the school. I can't make that decision on your own." Li Hong put down the leave slip, glanced at Lin Han with difficulty, and said.

The moment Li Hong said that, Lin Han's heart sank.

His confidence in getting leave came entirely from Sister Li's understanding nature. Now that Sister Li can't make the decision, things have become complicated.

"As you know, this is a crucial time for preparing for the college entrance examination, and you are one of the most valued students in the grade. I can only help you apply for leave, but unless there is a valid reason like illness that requires taking leave, it may be a bit difficult." Sister Li was giving Lin Han a heads-up in advance.

"Ok."

Lin Han was starting to panic. He really didn't know that taking three days off required reporting to the school!

The school administration is a bunch of pushovers who always prefer to avoid trouble. They might even have to ask the parents to come forward and communicate with them, but where are they supposed to find the parents?

If all else fails, I'll just take it back and change the reason.

It would be quite difficult to get Lin Han's skin cut, given his size; it would be normal for it to take five days.

Lin Han was about to speak when he suddenly seemed to remember something and asked,

"Sister Li, may I ask where in the school we should report this?"

“The student council,” Li Hong said.

099. I took my older brother back to the classroom.

Lin Han was stunned when he heard the name.

It seems like suddenly there's no need to cut the skin anymore.

"Thank you, Sister Li!" Lin Han quickly expressed his gratitude.

"It's just your duty, don't be too upset."

Li Hong found Lin Han's sudden change in attitude rather strange.

The student union has always been very strict about student leave management; most student affairs reported to the student union are basically doomed. Why does Lin Han look so relieved?

"Then I'll go back to class, Sister Li."

"Okay, go ahead." Li Hong said goodbye to Lin Han with a puzzled look on her face.

Lin Han, after leaving the office, did not choose to go straight back to the classroom, but instead walked downstairs and out of the teaching building.

During evening self-study time, student council members are all working in the office.

Lin Han walked straight to the opposite comprehensive building along the playground, then went up to the third floor and arrived at the student council office.

As soon as Lin Han arrived at the third-floor corridor, he was shocked by what he saw.

A long line had formed outside the student council office, consisting of students from both the junior high and senior high schools, numbering about a dozen people.

Arriving at the front, Lin Han saw that the office door was half-open. Just as he was about to go in, he was stopped by the student at the front of the line.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?"

"I have something urgent to discuss with Chairman Zhao," Lin Han said.

"Everyone here is looking for the president," said the student at the front of the line.

"I'm asking for leave!"

"We all asked for leave." Several classmates behind him cast eager glances at Lin Han.

Lin Han “…”

There are way too many people taking leave!

I guess it was all reported by the homeroom teacher, but the leave wasn't approved, so they came here to plead for leniency.

"President, this surgery is very important, you can't deny my leave!!"

A roar came from inside, and Lin Han poked his head out to look into the office.

A boy was lying face down in front of Zhao Chuanxiong's desk, sobbing uncontrollably. It was a heartbreaking scene.

"President, do you know how long this surgery has been delayed? Every night, every day, I'm racing against death!"

Zhao Chuanxiong put down his goji berry teacup, helped the boy up, and said emotionally:

"I really can't approve your surgery to remove useless tissue from the head!"

Zhao Chuanxiong then raised his hand and gestured to the disciplinary committee member next to him, and the two of them pulled the boy out together.

"No!!!" the boy screamed as he struggled and was dragged out.

Lin Han was stunned.

"Next!" the secretary called out.

The first boy in line walked into the office, and the next girl followed suit and moved forward into the next line.

The girl saw Lin Han, her face immediately flushed, and she began to speak:

Hey, classmate, what's the reason you're taking leave?

"I'm going to attend the funeral of a distant relative," Lin Han said.

"That's definitely not a good reason. If it weren't for being sick and hospitalized, they wouldn't approve a long leave at all," the girl said.

"What reason did you give?" Lin Han asked, seeing how knowledgeable the girl seemed.

The girl proudly raised her head:

"Abortion".

"........"

"No, is it not allowed if someone dies here?" Lin Han asked, puzzled.

He sacrificed the life of some ethereal relative to get leave, so why can't he get it?

　"President, my mother is dead!!" A scream came from the office.

Lin Han was shocked. Looking inside, he saw that the boy who had been at the front of the line had somehow taken out a white cloth, tied it around his head, knelt on the ground, and started wailing.

Zhao Chuanxiong hurriedly got up from his seat, went to the boy, helped him up, and said with concern:

"Chen Yanjun, why are you doing this?"

"President, you know me. I'm a well-known filial son. My mother died, and according to ancient custom, I should observe three years of mourning. But I still need to study. In order not to disappoint my mother, I'll ask for less money, just three days," the boy said earnestly.

“Of course I know you’re a very filial son. Last year when your father died, you paid respects for five days. At the beginning of the year, when your sister died, you paid respects for a week. In February, when your brother died, you paid respects for three days. Now your mother has also died. What are you? Are you a child of misfortune who has brought death to your whole family? Your parents are so lucky to have such a good son as you!” Zhao Chuanxiong said emotionally.

"You flatter me, Chairman." Chen Yan grinned.

"Get out of here." Zhao Chuanxiong stood up and said coldly.

The vice president standing to the side was stunned: "President, aren't you going to approve this?"

"Just do what I tell you to do, and you dare to question me? Jin Chuandeng, did winning a competition yesterday make you arrogant?"

Vice President Jin Chuandeng then hurriedly got up and threw Chen Yan out.

Lin Han was completely dumbfounded.

"See? You'd better think of another one before it's your turn. Your excuse is about to be thrown out the moment you open it," the girl said to Lin Han.

Just then, Zhao Chuanxiong looked up, preparing to call the next person, but inadvertently noticed a familiar figure at the door, slowly walking over.

"Brother?!"

Zhao Chuanxiong arrived at the door and said happily.

"President Zhao," Lin Han said politely.

"Oh, you're too kind, brother. Just call me Brother Zhao." Zhao Chuanxiong rubbed his hands together cheerfully and put his arm around Lin Han's shoulder. "What brings you to the student council, brother?"

The girl and the students queuing behind her were all stunned.

Big brother? Brother Zhao?

what's the situation? !

That arrogant and domineering Zhao Chuanxiong actually bows and scrapes to someone?!

"I'm here to ask for leave," Lin Han said.

“There’s no need for you to come to the student council in person for such a small matter. Just send me a message!” Zhao Chuanxiong said seriously.

"I was a bit bored during evening self-study, so I came out for a walk."

Zhao Chuanxiong raised his hand, gesturing for his bewildered secretary to bring out the documents, and then asked, "What's the reason for your leave, brother?"
