Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 594 - 17: No Dating Allowed, No Discussion

The school announced the list of student council members, and the academically excellent Chen Yan and Jiang Xiaotang were expectedly selected.

Besides these two girls, the person Wang Yunxiao was more familiar with was Qu Wenming, the literary committee member from the class next door.

In fact, he had never met this person, and everything he knew about him came from the rumors started by Youtiao.

Youtiao looked displeased.

Actually, the brothers all knew he fancied Chen Yan, but he was rather pretentious, never pursuing her actively, yet he couldn’t stand others getting close to her.

Speaking bluntly, this was like occupying the latrine and not defecating.

Of course, one must consider the context of the era, where other than a few wealthy young masters and misses, nearly no one dared to date openly. Those who wanted to date generally did so with marriage as the ultimate goal, not as freely as in future generations.

"Li Mumu, would you like to join the student council?"

During the recess, Chen Yan came over to seek Li Mumu’s opinion.

Before Li Mumu could speak, Youtiao sarcastically remarked, "There are a lot of handsome guys in the student council."

Chen Yan glared fiercely at him.

"Yeah, someone looking like you wouldn’t make it even if you scored a hundred on a test!"

Yikes—!

The brothers nearby immediately burst into laughter.

In the past, Chen Yan couldn’t have joked like this, but now, because they were more familiar, she didn’t mind these things.

Another girl might have been brought to tears right there.

Li Mumu smiled and said, "I’m not really interested in the student council, but I wonder what the main responsibilities of the student council are now?"

Chen Yan coughed and said solemnly, "The main task of the student council is to patrol school discipline and rectify the academic atmosphere."

"Could you be more specific?"

"More specifically, it focuses on early romance, skipping classes, and fighting and brawling behaviors."

The school’s ban on early romance dated back to the moment the co-educational system was instituted.

Placing adolescent hominids, who had just reached reproductive maturity and began secreting hormones to seek mates, in the same enclosure and expecting them to stay rational and focus solely on studying was impossible.

This contradicted the objective natural laws.

But if one speaks of natural laws, humans should never have descended from the trees in the first place.

In this era, the greatest pressure facing ninth graders was not academics, but the familial expectation of continuing the family line. Typically, it was the appropriate age for matchmakers to come proposing marriages, expecting them to marry right after graduation in a seamless transition.

Continuing education was seen, in the eyes of common folks, as a privilege of the wealthy. Despite grumbling that they never caught a break and bemoaning their poor starts in life—if you suggested their child should continue schooling, they’d spit in your face.

Qinghe Middle School’s attitude towards early romance was a simple one-size-fits-all approach, denying any form of romantic relationships, even if an arranged marriage was already settled at home, treating it as the primary task of the newly formed student council.

In the past, the student demographics were simpler and easier to handle. Now, it was different with the enrollment of all sorts of disobedient troublemakers. Strict supervision was necessary, or they could go too far.

Liu Pangxie was a living example, hard to imagine what he could have done if not for his failed attempt to assert mating rights.

But could the student council really handle such matters? Wang Yunxiao harbored some doubts on this.

It’s going to rain, a mother wants to marry off her daughter, and teenagers need guidance during puberty. How do you plan to manage them? How can you manage them?

However, he soon knew the answer to this question.

At lunchtime, two boys were caught and pulled out in front of all the teachers and students, stripped to reveal their backs, each receiving twenty lashes. The whipping was so severe that their skin burst open and they passed out.

Wang Yunxiao recognized them vaguely; they seemed to be the stubborn ones who were competing in strength when he was moving books.

"What did they do wrong?"

Since his class president was also the chairman of the student council, Wang Yunxiao naturally didn’t need to ask anyone else for information.

"Harassing a girl in their class."

Chen Yan looked exasperated, "The one on the left is called Yang Tianyu, and the one on the right is called Yang Dahe; they are distant cousins. They have been at odds since they entered the school gate, always trying to outdo each other in everything."

"There’s a girl in their class who’s very pretty. Because she sat next to Yang Dahe and talked to him a bit more, Yang Tianyu got upset and started to coerce and tempt the girl, even digging into her family background..."

Wang Yunxiao felt his teeth ache as he listened.

This damn thing only started on the second day of school, yet you nearly gave me five episodes’ worth of melodramatic TV series content with those few sentences.

The one responsible for lashing was the school’s security uncle, who obviously held back none of his strength, making the ordinary students around him turn pale.

But clearly, for real tough guys, this was far from enough.

Even though their skin was torn and flesh burst open, the two boys gritted their teeth and kept silent, still finding the spirit to mock the security uncle, "Did you skip lunch, sir? Maybe you should eat something first to fill your stomach?"

At that moment, Bai Shanshan’s calm voice reached their ears, "Strip down their trousers, and continue lashing!"

"I’m sorry, I know I was wrong!"

The previously defiant tough guys immediately caved in on the spot.

It’s just like tofu drenched in brine, one thing reduces another. For tough guys who can’t be beaten into submission, it takes Bai Shanshan’s tough hand to suppress them.

This boss once literally ate dragon meat sashimi; Wang Yunxiao had no doubt that if she were really angered, she could perform a live eating of a human.

The student council made a name for themselves with this battle, although they actually did nothing.

Still, with these two tough guys serving as negative examples, the school’s policy against early romance was implemented very smoothly.

Of course, this was a long-term tug of war, and sooner or later, someone would fail to control their biological instincts and take a risky move.

Wang Yunxiao felt Liu Pangxie had the potential to be the next unfortunate one.

In the afternoon during class, the Tang Siblings came looking for him.

These dolls still had arrogant and disdainful expressions, not very likable.

Tang Ping’an approached Wang Yunxiao and asked coldly, "Are you Wang Yunxiao? I heard you’re the biggest leader here?"

Huh? Me?

Wang Yunxiao glanced at Li Mumu next to him, who pretended to read seriously but was actually sneakily enjoying the drama, and he flashed an innocuous smile, "Classmate, we haven’t met before, what can I do for you?"

Tang Ping’an cut to the chase, "I heard you have a way to leave school grounds?"
