Upon hearing this, the class monitor's expression immediately turned sour. "Take a good look? You're not in the student council, what right do you have to investigate?"

"How do you know I'm not in the student council?" Lin Zhou asked.

"...?"

The class monitor's heart skipped a beat.

He took another look at Lin Zhou. The other man had a bandage wrapped around his forehead, was holding a phone, and stood there looking very calm. He didn't seem like someone who had just come over to say a few words and was about to leave.

Besides, there are so many people in the student council, it's impossible for me to know them all.

broken.

Could we have actually run into them?

"You... are in the student council?" The class monitor's voice wasn't as harsh as before.

"I am not," Lin Zhouli replied.

Squad leader: "..."

Your mom.

Why are you so self-righteous about it?!

The class monitor's expression changed several times before he finally couldn't help but speak up, "Damn it, why are you asking?!"

"I was just asking, why are you so nervous?" Lin Zhou said, his gaze returning to the tea canister. "Besides, just because I'm not in the student council doesn't mean I can't ask them to come."

"..."

The squad leader stopped himself from saying what he was about to say.

Lin Zhou glanced at Tang Yuru beside him; she was still looking down, her fingers gripping the edge of her apron.

"When I came here last time, Yu Rou was also watching the stall alone." Lin Zhou looked at the class monitor again. "The others went out to play and said they would come back to relieve her, but they haven't returned yet."

"You guys are so arrogant, always bullying one person!"

The squad leader said, "What does this have to do with what's happening now?"

"She helped you watch over the stall, and she focused on making things when customers came. You come back and don't even help..." Lin Zhou pointed to the bucket hidden by the menu.

"She stopped you, and you started calling her poor? You made a personal attack?"

The class monitor frowned. "What do you know? Our stall doesn't need that many people; one person is enough. Besides, isn't this her class?"

"So the profits will all go to her alone?"

The class monitor was momentarily speechless, but then immediately said, "I didn't force her. She chose to stay on her own. You can ask her if you don't believe me."

After he finished speaking, his gaze fell on Tang Yuru.

"Tang Yuru, tell me yourself, didn't I ask you that?"

Tang Yuru's lips moved, but before she could speak, Lin Zhou stepped half a step to the side, blocking the class monitor's gaze.

"That's because she can't say no," Lin Zhou said. "You say you're going out for a bit, and she watches over things for you. When no one comes back, she's too embarrassed to urge you. You guys have a great time, and when you come back, she just says she's willing, and that's it?"

The squad leader's face gradually darkened.

Lin Zhou didn't stop. "She just said this barrel of tea can't be sold. Why didn't you listen? You heard her clearly when she asked you to help, but you couldn't hear her when she told you not to sell it?"

"..."

Tang Yuru stood to the side and slowly raised her head.

Actually, she herself didn't know how to say it.

When her classmate asked if she could watch the room for a while, she did agree. After that, no one came back, and she didn't urge them to come back—when she heard the class monitor say that just now, she was even ready to admit that it was her own choice.

After Lin Zhou said it, those things that he couldn't explain before suddenly seemed very simple.

She's not good with words... but Lin Zhou seems to understand what she's thinking.

Yu Rou also wanted to browse the school anniversary celebration, but she had already been busy at this stall for several days.

And no one took it on at all... Even when she tried to ask in the class group, no one paid any attention to her, as if it were unimportant.

Everyone has their own things to do.

But she did the same, yet she gave it all to herself...

She had been holding back her tears, but they started falling again, and she quickly raised her hand to wipe them away.

Lin Zhou pulled a few sheets of paper from the table and handed them over before picking up his phone again. "Don't touch this teapot yet. I'll get someone to come and take a look."

"You're really planning to call the student council?" The class monitor's expression changed.

"Um."

"No, is it really that serious? We can just not sell it anymore." The class monitor reached for the bucket. "I'll empty it, okay?"

Lin Zhou reached out and pressed down on the bucket lid.

"Yu Rou just said it spilled and you made her pay for it. I'm about to get someone to come and check it out. You're suddenly so willing to do that."

Squad leader: "..."

"Let's leave it there for now and wait for someone to come."

Lin Zhou didn't argue with him anymore. He found Chen Yu's contact information and dialed the number. The call was answered quickly. There was some noise on the other end, as if people were walking around outside.

"Lin Zhou? What's wrong? Why are you calling all of a sudden... Are you with the student council president?"

"President Chen Yu, is anyone here at the beverage stand? My lemon tea stand is for Class 3-F. We're planning to sell the leftover tea from yesterday, and we'd like you to come and take a look."

The squad leader, standing to the side, finally changed his expression completely upon hearing Chen Yu's name.

No.

You actually know him?

You're not in the student council, why are you looking for the vice president?!

Lin Zhou briefly explained his location and hung up the phone. The class monitor looked at him, then at Tang Yuru next to him, and suddenly sneered, "Fine, you're something else."

"Thank you," Lin Zhou said.

"Who praised you?"

"oh."

Lin Zhou put down his phone. The class monitor said, "This stall isn't just mine. The money spent on it was all chipped in by everyone. If it really closes, what will happen to the profits from the remaining two days? What will happen to the points?"

At this point, his gaze shifted to Tang Yuru, "When people ask, I'll have to explain things clearly."

"It's all because of you, Tang Yuru, because of you we can't continue!"

Tang Yuru: "..."

She was only thinking about not being able to sell that bucket of overnight tea, but this reminder made her suddenly realize what her classmates would think if the stall really closed down.

When everyone returned, they saw that the stall could no longer operate.

The student council was brought in by Lin Zhou.

Lin Zhou was doing this for himself again...

"..." Tang Yuru's face turned pale instantly.

Lin Zhou noticed the change in Tang Yuru's expression and roughly guessed what she was worried about.

"Don't try to morally blackmail us. If you really care, then take good care of the lemon tea business, organize some events, and hand out flyers." Lin Zhou raised an eyebrow.

"You went off to have fun yourself, dumped everything on one person, and then complained that the stall wasn't profitable? Ha!"

"You guys are masters at shifting blame, you've got no shame at all, tui~"

The class monitor's lips moved slightly, and he finally let out a cold snort.

A few minutes later, Chen Yu arrived with two student council members.

He glanced at the bandage on Lin Zhou's forehead before shifting his gaze to the table. "Which bucket?"

Lin Zhou pointed.

One of the members opened the lid to check, and Chen Yu asked about the production time and storage location. The class monitor initially tried to be vague, only saying that it was prepared yesterday. However, when asked if it had been refrigerated, he added that it had been kept under the stall all along.

Chen Yu frowned immediately. "If they get stomach problems... are you trying to ruin our academy's reputation?"
