1.2

While walking towards the office, He Míng can't help but look behind him and look at the ML rebel following his tail.

"You can walk next to me you know?"- He told Takeru who grunted and looked away from him, watching the guy walk next to him.

'Is it because of his uniform or because of the status of his and mine together are different? So troublesome.'- He Míng sighed silently and stopped walking, Takeru stopped as well and look back at him with a raised brow.

"Student Furukawa,"- Takeru stared at Ling Wǔshì who casually walks to the tall windows on the hallway that overlooks the university grounds.

"Does your current status in this University changed?"- He asked with a stoic look. Takeru blinked before a sarcastic smile appeared on his lips.

"Heh, what is this? Are you also one of those guys who will crush my pride and point fingers at me like I did some kind of a horrendous crime?"- Takeru leaned on the wall next to him and looked at him with a provocative look.

"You're still a student of this university and you're my Vice President, nothing from the outside matters, and it will never affect you inside the facility."- Ling Wǔshì said in a final tone before he started to walk upstairs leading to the office.

Takeru stared at his back, shaking his head and erasing his thoughts immediately. What kind of man is that Ling Wǔshì? Definitely, he is not a saint. Those kinds of obvious words only mean that he shouldn't drag the student council into his demise and personal matters.

"Are you coming or you're gonna stay there?"- Takeru snapped out of his thoughts and run after Ling Wushi whose ready to go to the next floor. They went inside the office and started to work.

Takeru was shocked to see the organized office and Ling Wǔshì's desk. Before, this whole office was a disaster that he avoided going inside after the first official meeting.

"Instead of just staring into space, try actually reading the documents. The goal for today is to finish 25% of the paper works."- Ling Wǔshì's voice rang inside the quiet office that made Takeru stop daydreaming and started to work.

While they were doing the draft, Ling Wǔshì suddenly talked to him, breaking the silence in the room and startling Takeru again.

"If you need money for your funding or essentials, I could hire you for work,"- Ling Wǔshì said. Takeru frowned at him before leaning back to his chair.

"So you want me to be your butler or something? Sorry but I still have some dignity and self-respect to not stoop so low as someone else's servant, especially elites like you."- Takeru said with a sneer before he put his gaze back to the documents in his hand.

"I have a flat, I need someone to clean it every day and prepare food. You can live there as well, think about it and I'll ask this weekend,"- Ling Wǔshì said and continued his job on his laptop.

Takeru looked at Ling Wǔshì with an incredulous look, What kind of food did this guy ate that he keeps spouting things that only kind-hearted people would do?

"How much will you offer?"- Takeru tried to test the waters, Ling Wǔshì answered without looking away from his laptop.

"One hundred fifty dollars depends on how much you spend time cleaning and all." Ling Wǔshì said before looking at his way.

"If you are capable of cleaning it on your own, I'll fire my servants and hire you myself, making the pay higher. It's a deal where you won't see any losses."- He said before looking back at his work, Takeru contemplated at his offer while he silently looks back at his own paperwork.

[Fox: Host is very smart! Locking the ML inside your place will help you reach that mission successfully.

Mission: Stay close to ML ( Two hours and twenty minutes left before completion)] - The System cheered. He Míng just hummed and hacked into the past website of Furukawa's company and copying the profiles of each employee and heads managers.

He already suspected that the Bug carrier Host is inside their company, he just needs to pay attention and watch their every move.

Lunchbreak

The two of them went to the cafeteria to buy food. He Míng watched as Takeru's lunch only consist of a melon bread and a bottle of water. He clicked his tongue and told the server to serve two meals on his tab. Takeru has an inkling of his intentions and want to decline his offer but was met with the other students' stares and gossips.

"Look at that, Furukawa was leeching off President Ling Wǔshì, he really has no shame."

"Did you see that? He still wants to decline when President Ling Wǔshì is giving him grace! What a thick-faced person!"

"Going together with President Ling Wǔshì in the cafeteria, does he want to show everyone that he's close to the President? Shameless!"

"Poor people only know how to kiss up to someone with power and money."

The whispers started to come with volume that Ling Wǔshì and Takeru could clearly hear them. He Míng looks at Takeru from his peripheral vision, silently watching his reaction. He can see everything: Takeru's fisted hands, the trembling of his shoulders, face filled with anger, resentment, and humiliation, and his slowly hunching back. Before He Míng could talk, the rest of the student council came inside the cafeteria and went towards them at the counter.

"Hello President,"- Leo and Marie greeted him politely, while Pio just clicked his tongue, not meeting Ling Wǔshì's gaze.

"Marie, I have a question for you."- Ling Wǔshì looks down at her and was aware that everyone starts to quiet down to hear them, Marie asked him what was his question.

"Slandering someone... Isn't that an act of bullying? Especially if the victim is contrary to the gossips that made him look like so... don't you think so?"- He asked in a neutral voice as he played with the toothpick on his hand,

"Y-Yes! Of course, in the case of bullying, there will be a suspension, according to how severe the victim was traumatized... P-President?"- They all watched as Ling Wǔshì's quirk a bit and took the tray of a meal to Takeru's hands, and took his food as well.

"I guess you'll be busy for a few days because everyone in this cafeteria was slandering the vice president's name when all he did was buy his meal. Everyone should report to the dean or don't expect to get back inside this university."- Releasing a deadly aura and a glare on his eyes, everyone quiets down and turned meek.

"Let's go to the office, We still have work to do, Vice President Furukawa."- With that, the two of them left the cafeteria. It started to turn into chaos as they talked about Ling Wǔshì's protection over Furukawa, the threat he left, and how he looks so handsome to every fangirl he has present at that time. Marie, Leo, and Pio were trapped within the human traffic as they all approached the P.R.O of the student council.

'I didn't sign up for this position to get very busy! President! You're so cruel!'- Marie cried inside her mind as she tried to settle the crowd first with the help of Leo and Pio.

Meanwhile, at the Student Council office, He Míng opened the windows and turn off the air conditioning to let the smell of the food not linger inside the office while they eat. Takeru was looking straight at the unfazed person whose eating next to him at the long table. He just realized that Ling Wǔshì's fame is both a blessing and a curse to someone like him.

"Being close to you... President Ling Wǔshì, it's both a miracle and a curse,"- Takeru watched as the guy paused and looked at him with an unfathomable gaze. He raised a brow with a confused look on his face, watching the guy shook his head and put down his chopsticks.

"Since you see my actions like one, then just tightly grasp it in your hands and don't let go."- He said and lean on his chair. Takeru kept his gaze at him, thinking about all of his actions. Seemingly knowing what he was thinking, he looked back and raised a brow.

"Don't think too much, I'm the head of the Student Council, that's expected of me to do. No strings attached."- Ling Wǔshì told him before telling him to finish his food. Both were enveloped with silence as they eat, however, the silence is serene and not uncomfortable.

After eating, Takeru took the obligation to put their trays in the cafeteria and Ling Wǔshì nodded, as soon as the door closed, He Míng called the system.

"Is there someone that could reincarnate without a system?"- He Míng asked while staring into the beady eyes of the Fox system.

[Fox system: Yes, but they won't be able to retain their memories from the past life. It's a rule of the reincarnation cycle as to not disrupt the timeline of the world.]

He Míng was silent. He was replaying the words that the Jerard Su from his original life and Takeru Furukawa coincidentally said. What is really a coincidence? Why is there even a probability that Jerard Su will be the same person as Takeru Furukawa? What an absurd idea!
