My older sister is a villainous rich girl

The meeting, which consisted of only four people, lasted for a long time. Everyone went through all the possible scenarios and confirmed that there shouldn't be any major deviations before they finally dispersed, looking exhausted.

Intense mental activity is no less strenuous than physical activity of the same duration, and Chris only realized how hungry she was after the meeting ended.

"Ah, I'm so hungry." She slumped weakly onto the table.

"Go home and get something to eat," Wayne said with a smile. "Are you too hungry to walk? Do you want me to carry you?"

"No."

She wrinkled her nose cutely, like a puppy.

"You're happy to be able to help Tasia, aren't you?" Her flat tone revealed no emotion.

Having grown accustomed to Chris's occasional bouts of jealousy, Wayne's face remained completely expressionless.

"As long as you're happy, I'm happy."

He casually joked, "How about I make you a dessert myself when we get back? I recently developed a new recipe in my baking class, it's really delicious."

Chris couldn't help but express her doubt: "Really?"

Chapter 520 How to get a more comprehensive understanding of candidates?

Of course it's fake.

Baking is something where you can easily modify the mold, adjust the temperature and time with your own control, and a brand new recipe will come out smoothly.

Whether it tastes good or not is another matter, but who can say that this isn't a new way of doing things?

After carefully trying the dessert that Wayne presented to her, Chris made an indescribable expression.

"Is this the delicious new way you made it?" She slapped her forehead helplessly.

"Never mind... let me do it."

Shoving Wayne aside without any politeness, Chris rolled up her sleeves and took matters into her own hands. "Next time, you shouldn't use this kind of thing to torture others."

Wayne was slightly disappointed by her reaction. "Is it really that exaggerated?"

Don't most couples in a sweet relationship always praise each other for cooking even if the food doesn't taste very good?

How can this be considered an exaggeration?

Chris said in a serious tone, "I'm using an objective evaluation to keep you grounded."

Wayne reluctantly picked up one of the pieces from the tray and took a bite—

Then he turned around and spat it into the trash can by the door.

I'm sorry... your assessment is indeed very objective.

"I'm sorry, there must have been some mistake somewhere before." Wayne apologized humbly. "The one I made unintentionally in baking class was quite delicious. I didn't expect it to turn out like this when I copied it back home."

In the end, Chris made a dish that looked pretty good, and she and Wayne shared it.

"The needle is perfect, Chris's handiwork is absolutely perfect!" Wayne praised.

"Hum~"

Although Chris looked smug, she was not fooled by Wayne's flattery and remained clear-headed about herself.

"It's just so-so, not even as good as Tasia's level."

To be fair, Tasia's terrifying, almost superhuman strength belongs to a completely different dimension. Not only does she possess immense talent, but she also maintains unimaginable diligence, improving almost every moment. It seems impossible to surpass Tasia in dessert making.

No, it's not just desserts; the same is probably true in the realm of magic.

Even Wayne could only guide her to think for herself in order to avoid exposing any shortcomings in her own theoretical level.

Fortunately, so far, Tasia has not doubted whether he was bluffing.

"But I really like it."

Wayne laughed dismissively, "Even if Chris's food isn't the best in the world, it's still my favorite."

Upon hearing this, Chris's expression visibly paused, but she said nothing.

……

The Lily Society's election was held as scheduled.

Unlike the fierce battles that occurred during the previous presidential elections, everyone knew that there were only two real candidates this time.

Red: Wayne Wincher, son of the illustrious Duke of Wincher.

Blue Team: Richard Maysfield, Crown Prince of the Kingdom of St. Loons.

From any perspective, it is difficult to determine who is better between these two people. The principles of prioritizing family background or appearance have become ineffective in this level of competition.

What people generally value more is what benefits the candidates can actually bring to the Lily Society, including but not limited to organizing activities, fighting for welfare, and protecting members who have made mistakes...

—That's right, these are the things that the leaders of the Lily Society really do.

Considering all these factors, even Prince Richard, who has always been very popular with the public, is hard to say that he has any advantage. On the contrary, Wayne left a good impression on everyone during his tenure as acting president.

With differing thoughts in mind, Richard and Wayne took to the stage to deliver their campaign speeches.

In fact, Wayne didn't care much about the final result, and the only person he actively campaigned for was Ge Li.

Anyway, even if Richard becomes the chairman, I have a way to persuade him. As long as I can get my plan going, it doesn't matter who comes forward.

After returning to his seat, Wayne's gaze shifted to Goth.

She was the one hosting the election, so no one would find it strange if I stared at her.

Her long, brown hair fell naturally to both sides, and she was still very beautiful today. Wearing the same school uniform as other girls, she always gave the illusion of being far more refined than the others.

Normally, the election campaign of the Lily Society is hosted by the outgoing president.

However, Gothic took the initiative to secure the task by withdrawing from the election, which made Wayne somewhat concerned.

"So, everyone now has a full understanding of the two candidates' positions and promises. Next..."

Ge Li looked around the audience and then finally revealed his true colors.

"—This is a newly added special evaluation process."

Wow, is that why you're so eager to become a host?

I knew she had ulterior motives.

With the other shoe finally dropping in his heart, Wayne sighed discreetly.

It's better to stir up trouble here than to create some unexpected big news.

"Many of you here have been friends for many years. After spending so much time together, you all have a certain understanding of each other."

Ge Li said with a half-smile, "Some flaws are hard to spot yourself, but bystanders can always see them more clearly..."

"As competitors, what kind of person do Richard and Wayne think of each other? Take this rare opportunity to honestly point out each other's weaknesses."

It seems she's determined to see the two of them expose each other's secrets on the spot.

Wayne shook his head very slightly, looking helpless.

The others in the activity room couldn't help but chuckle good-naturedly, their eyes darting back and forth with curiosity as they looked at Wayne and Richard.

Almost everyone knows that Wayne and Richard have always been on good terms.

But that's precisely why watching them criticize each other is so interesting.

Even Wayne noticed the schadenfreude emanating from the stares of everyone around him. Goethe's suggestion was exactly what a bunch of people wanted.

“Uh, this isn’t a good idea.” He tried to salvage the situation one last time.

“There’s nothing wrong with it,” Ge Li immediately dismissed his reluctant struggle.

She squinted and said in a sanctimonious tone, "This is also to help everyone get a more comprehensive understanding of you."

"This evaluation is not only from the perspective of ordinary classmates, but also from the perspective of close friends. Only in this way can the true nature of the two be reflected."

Her reasoning was sound no matter how you looked at it, but her true intentions were blatantly obvious.

Under the expectant gazes of everyone, Richard smiled confidently.

"Yes, it's a very interesting part."

Chapter 521 Mutual Evaluations of Election Opponents

"Actually, I'm also very curious about how Wayne views me." In front of everyone, His Highness was surprisingly frank.

Richard accepted the challenge so readily, so Wayne naturally couldn't back down either.

"If I had to point out any shortcomings, then of course there are..." He hesitated, wondering how much he should say.

If you speak without any restraint, it will inevitably make people uncomfortable; but if you say something bland and uninteresting, it is easy to give people the feeling that you are just going through the motions.

“However, as Your Highness, you should be the one to evaluate me first,” Wayne said, changing the subject.

At worst, I can adapt to the situation based on Richard's comments later.

The two reached an agreement in just a few words, and Richard stepped onto the stage again.

Those present at today's election rally are not only the currently registered members of the Lily Society.

As the most prestigious and longest-standing organization within Seiki Academy, the Lily Society will invite several important guests to attend its internal elections, such as the leadership transition. These invitations do not come from any teacher or leader within the academy, but simply signify that they represent the Lily Society's alumni who have already graduated.

This special arrangement plays a greater role on a symbolic level than in terms of its many practical implications.

—The seniors who will embark on their great journeys from here will come with invitations from the outgoing president to witness the birth of the new president through a fair and open vote by the members.

At this moment, every gaze was focused on Richard.

After a pause, he said, "Unbeknownst to me, I've known Wayne for quite some time now."

Under his focused gaze, Wayne felt... inexplicably a little nauseous.

Is this going to turn into a touching scene of them pouring their hearts out to each other? I can't handle that.

“In the time we’ve been friends, it seems that no matter what request I make, if Wayne agrees, he can do it very efficiently.” Richard smiled as he looked at Wayne.

“Sometimes, I secretly use Wayne as a role model to motivate myself. To be honest, he is indeed a mentor and friend to me.”

Wayne was a little embarrassed by his praise.

I didn't do anything on purpose... Wait, isn't this a typical tactic of praising first and then criticizing?

Realizing this, Wayne immediately became alert.

Sure enough, Richard's tone quickly changed.

"But—that doesn't mean he's completely without flaws."

“In my eyes, he has a very obvious flaw,” he said. “But this flaw is also something I envy.”

Everyone was immediately intrigued and eagerly awaited his next words.

“That is… he’s too self-centered, or rather, he’s too ‘self-centered’,” Richard revealed the answer.

“Wayne doesn’t seem to care at all what others think of him behind his back, nor does he care about the identities of the people he associates with.” Richard’s expression was subtle and helpless as he said this.

“Because people usually show me respect when they talk to me, I had a strange feeling when I first got to know Wayne… and the more I learned about Wayne, the stronger that feeling became.”

Hey, don't describe it so strangely!

“It’s as if it makes no difference whether you’re a prince, a king, or a commoner standing in front of him,” Richard described his experience in detail. “Being friends with him is simply a matter of Richard and Wayne becoming friends; it has nothing to do with any other factors such as status or position.”

"To be more precise, he seemed genuinely indifferent to everything behind it all; he only cared about what he considered important."

"At the time, I was very surprised. How could there be such a person in the world?"

Wayne felt very embarrassed.

Brother, you must have some misunderstanding about me to have such thoughts.

At the same time, he was secretly relieved that it was him, not Chris, who had caused Richard to have this misunderstanding; otherwise, it might have turned into a "Funny Woman" special operation...

“But this makes me feel at ease,” Richard continued. “He can ignore those speculations or opinions, associate with whomever he wants, and not take on followers if he doesn’t want to.”

It's clear that Richard cares a lot about these things.

Rather than stating Wayne's shortcomings, it's more like listing his enviable strengths.

However, it is true that personal judgments are inevitably biased. What is a flaw in one person's eyes may be a virtue in another's eyes. Therefore, Richard's answer cannot be considered off-topic.
