Gu Yang smiled. "It's okay, I'll watch you count."
The other two boys also glanced at Su Ziyun expectantly.
Su Ziyun knew she risked ruining the favorable impression others had of her by contesting the vote, but becoming class monitor meant a lot to her. If Gu Yang's influence unfairly shifted the vote to Qiao Manman, she couldn't let the opportunity slip away without a fight.
After tallying her and Qiao Manman's votes, Su Ziyun realized they matched Gu Yang and the others' counts.
Gu Yang smiled and gently reminded her, "Student Su Ziyun, have you finished counting?"
Under his watchful gaze, Su Ziyun felt a surge of nerves. Clutching the tally sheet tightly, she managed a strained smile. "I rushed through the count earlier. Let me double-check."
"Alright," Gu Yang replied calmly, leaning forward with his chin resting on his hand as he observed her closely.
