“Linlang!” Adele called out to the girl who was nervously waiting from afar.

Almost instantly, the girl’s eyes lit up.

Tang Linlang looked towards the direction of the voice and saw Adele’s petite figure approaching her like the wind.

And like the wind, Adele threw herself into Linlang’s arms.

The two girls embraced, Adele with a smile on her face, her expression natural, while Tang Linlang was a little surprised and shy.

After a brief moment of intimacy, they separated.

But Adele still gently held Tang Linlang’s hand with the hand that wore the spatial ring.

At the same time, she looked towards the brightly lit office building not far away.

“I’m not too late, am I? Has the student council recruitment started?”

“…I-it just started, you’re not late.”

Tang Linlang’s heart was stirred by Adele, and for a moment, she forgot all the preparations she had made for the interview.

But after her excitement subsided, she could piece them back together.

And even if she failed, it didn’t matter. Tang Linlang no longer saw joining the student council as her only way out.

She realized that what truly mattered was the time she spent with Adele.

“Then shall we go to the interview office now?”

Adele asked Tang Linlang.

The latter nodded obediently.

The two of them walked hand in hand into the flowing crowd, immediately attracting envious gazes.

If it were Tang Linlang, she would definitely be too embarrassed to hold Adele’s hand in public.

But Adele was much braver than her, and Tang Linlang enjoyed this romantic gesture.

The student council interview was held in an office building.

Basically, only teachers and student council members entered and exited the building.

But recently, members of the Black Feather Society had also been frequenting the building, seemingly competing with the student council.

The growth of the Black Feather Society didn’t have much impact on the student council’s recruitment, after all, they recruited different groups, the student council recruited humans, and the Black Feather Society recruited vampires.

The real impact of the Black Feather Society on the student council was that they pressured the academy by bringing a large number of vampire students to complain and ask for funding.

This part of the financial expenditure, or rather, this piece of the pie, originally belonged solely to the student council.

But in the past two years, the Black Feather Society had stepped in and wanted to join in on dividing the pie.

And they actually succeeded.

Not only did they succeed, but they also wanted more.

Although the academy chose to increase subsidies for student organizations to reconcile the conflict between the two forces, the effect of these subsidies was only to reduce the student council’s losses compared to the past, while also allowing the Black Feather Society to earn more than before.

Perhaps this was the “advantage of having nothing to lose.”

Therefore, against this backdrop, vampire students who entered and exited the office building would often be met with strange looks from other human students.

Adele felt this deeply.

When she and Tang Linlang arrived at the lobby on the first floor of the office building, many student council members gave Adele strange looks.

It felt like “a husky appeared among a pack of wolves, and all the wolves were staring at it.”

Adele bit her lip, her pitiful appearance was heartbreaking.

“Their gazes… why do they look so strange at me!”

“Could it be because the student council is full of straight girls!?”

Adele didn’t understand the origin of the conflict between the student council and the Black Feather Society, and didn’t realize that it was her vampire identity that caused their dislike.

She thought it was because she and Tang Linlang were being too intimate.

They were giving off “lesbian” vibes!

So it was only natural for them to be seen as heretics within the straight-girl-filled student council.

Tang Linlang was speechless when she heard Adele’s words.

But she had only recently become aware of this problem.

The fact that she and Adele… were indeed a little too intimate!

To the point of being seen as… that kind of relationship.

It seemed so natural!

Tang Linlang’s mood was indescribable.

Firstly, she was indeed a conservative girl. After all, she grew up in an ancient family and had always had the same attitude towards relationships as ordinary girls.

It was only after meeting Adele that Tang Linlang’s feelings gradually changed without her realizing it.

It was probably from “Adele is a very good girl, a classmate worth learning from,” to “Adele is soft and fragrant, I kind of like the atmosphere when I’m with her,” and then to “I want to be with Adele every day, what’s wrong with me…”

If Tang Linlang could be more honest and outgoing, or learn a little bit of shamelessness from Adele, she would probably pat her chest and say, “Yes, I’m a lesbian, so what.”

Although Tang Linlang didn’t have such a profound awareness of revealing her true nature yet, she didn’t let go of Adele’s hand in public, which was a very brave act in itself.

“It’s okay, Adele…”

She comforted Adele softly.

“I won’t let go of you.”

As she spoke, she tightened her grip on Adele’s hand, but not to the point of causing pain.

Even if reality might be as Adele said, student council members were often against lesbian relationships and would most likely reject the applications of such girls, she still insisted on holding Adele’s hand.

Adele stared at their joined hands in a daze, and after a long while, she smiled slightly.

“Mmm~!”

The two of them walked hand in hand to the interview office and joined a long queue. Based on the interview time of about three to five minutes per person, they would have to wait at least half an hour for Tang Linlang’s turn.

Although Adele complained a lot about this, under the current circumstances, she had no choice but to wait.

“Click,” a girl took a picture of the two of them.

Then she went to the office and showed it to President Wen Weiran, who was suddenly interested in participating in the review today.

This method could save the president a lot of time. By taking pictures of the interviewees’ mental state and appearance in advance, it could provide the interviewers with a simple first impression.

A group of people could be screened out and their interviews declared failed in advance.

When the girl from the student council’s media department took the picture of Adele and Tang Linlang holding hands and laughing, she confirmed in her heart that their interview would be a failure.

After all, she didn’t think that President Wen Weiran, who was conducting the interview this time, would accept such a homosexual relationship.

So sorry, unknown beautiful girls, she was just doing her job.

It was a pity that they had to wait for a few more minutes for a predetermined outcome.

Then, the girl from the media department took the picture to the office and handed it to her respected president.

Wen Weiran sat between a vice president and a minister, looking incredibly well-behaved and cute because of her petite size.

But this thought only dared to appear in her mind for a fleeting moment. If it were to be exposed, the girl felt that she wouldn’t have enough lives to waste in front of the president!

“President, here are the photos of the interviewees.”

Wen Weiran nodded and took the camera, flipping through the pictures.

At first, her face was expressionless as usual.

Until she flipped to the picture of Adele and Tang Linlang smiling and holding hands, looking at each other.

“…”

Wen Weiran’s expression suddenly became strange.

Especially when she recalled that not long ago, Adele was clearly playing… very intensely with another golden-haired vampire girl.

What an interesting person.

Wen Weiran had this thought for the first time, her eyes narrowing slightly.

She had already thought about leaving this boring interview.

But now, it seemed like a good choice to stay and watch.
