A world where love reigns supreme? This is truly chaotic!

Chen Nuanxin raised her right hand and slapped a piece of paper on the table.

Zhou Qianwen took a closer look and found it was a reminder notice about ballroom dancing.

Oh right, ballroom dancing was one of the special courses Guang signed up for, which was the only special course that the two of them chose that overlapped.

"It seems like the boss is a terrible dancer. He switched from the intermediate class to the intermediate class, only went once, and it feels like he's been avoiding it ever since. But he had to go for the credits. At this time, because of the boss's fame, many ungrateful people will try to get close to him! Ballroom dancing! A kind of intimate male-female collaboration, Qianwen! This is your turn to shine!" Chen Nuanxin said righteously, as if missing this opportunity meant she would forever miss out on Guang Chen's chance.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Once an opportunity is lost, it's very difficult to get another one.

Zhou Qianwen's eyes lit up instantly, and she said, "You mean you want me to transfer to the beginner class next time and partner with Guang?"

“That’s right! The beginner’s course doesn’t take more than a few weeks and won’t take up much of your time. The main point is to let you have more contact with the boss so that you can really judge what this feeling is.”

There are too many cases of mistaking curiosity for liking someone. This is the kind of "love at first sight" concept that Guangchang has always disliked. Only after a long period of getting to know each other and maintaining attraction can it be considered liking someone. Chen Nuanxin and Zhou Qianwen both understand Guangchang's thoughts, so these two girls are also continuously conducting tests.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qianwen gently pressed her left hand to her chest, feeling her pounding heart and the emotions she felt. She desperately wanted to know...

"Okay, I understand! Let's give it a try!"

Zhou Qianwen has decided to transfer to the beginner class!

"Hmm, and if it really comes to that, and it works out, then I can't call you Qianwen anymore, I should just call you... Big Sister?"

"No, don't say that..."

"Big Sister!" Chen Nuanxin's tone suddenly became firm.

Zhou Qianwen was immediately swept away into a brief daydream, feeling quite smug as she was addressed as "Big Sister." It sounded pretty good, didn't it...?

22. Let her have you today.

After dinner, the two strolled around the mall, lingering for a while in a jewelry store. They saw that the bracelets and other items were priced at over a thousand yuan. But looking was one thing, buying was another. The mall was not far from the school, and for some students from wealthy families, shopping here was almost like shopping in a dollar store. With so many people, Chen Nuanxin and her companion stayed there for a while longer.

"Qianwen?" Chen Nuanxin noticed that Qianwen seemed to really like a bracelet in a store, but since the two of them had limited monthly allowances, they couldn't afford to buy it yet, so they could only look at it.

"Ah? Hmm... Let's go home." Zhou Qianwen smiled slightly at Chen Nuanxin, and then the two left together. Before they knew it, they had become close friends who could talk about anything.

……

According to the established plan, Zhou Qianwen applied in advance to switch to the beginner class of ballroom dancing. Ballroom dancing is actually more like a process of communication between students, and it is more inclined to be an activity for children from wealthy families. The reasons why most students from ordinary families choose ballroom dancing are: firstly, they want to socialize upwards, but since ballroom dancing partners are usually arranged in advance, it is difficult to find a partner unless you are a Cinderella who is invited in advance. As for the second reason, it is a special course that seems easy to choose for the sake of credits, like Guang Chen.

The choice of dance styles also differs. Guang Chen only chooses general ballroom dances, the simpler the better, while many other students prepare appropriate costumes in advance and choose waltz, tango, or more passionate rumba and samba.

Well, Guangchang has only attended one ballroom dance class so far. His dance partner is Nuanxin. Although he has become quite famous, many girls in the class have invited him to be their dance partner. However, he knows in his heart that accepting such an invitation will bring endless "trouble." Just like Yan Xingmeng said, once the wind of love blows, it is not something you can stop at will. Therefore, it is the best choice to stop it before there are any signs.

And I have to whisper a little complaint: when Guang Chen went to the beginner ballroom dance class and saw those clumsy first-year high school students learning tango, he couldn't help but laugh just watching them from the sidelines. It was exactly like the tango in Zhao Lirong's skits when he was a kid; the familiar voice was ringing in his mind again...

……

"Huh? Be my dance partner?" Guangchang asked in surprise, pointing to himself and looking at Qianwen who was making the request.

"Yeah, boss, I had something to do that day and couldn't come, so I asked Qianwen to come with you." Chen Nuanxin stepped in to smooth things over. This time, they would just let it go like this for now, and eventually, excuses would become a reason that everyone understood without saying a word.

"..." Zhou Qianwen was extremely nervous at this moment, it was a crucial moment! If Guang refused here, then there would be no hope at all.

"Okay, then." Guangchang nodded in agreement, which made both girls beam with joy. Chen Nuanxin even flattered him and asked what snacks he wanted for lunch, offering to run errands for him.

They really are selfless and kind-hearted. No... or perhaps this is the true reflection of friendship.

The time is tomorrow afternoon, and since it's followed by the monthly exam, there will be more people this time. Many students will also be wearing appropriate dance costumes. The waltz will be performed in formal attire, while the passionate rumba will make the high school boys, who are still in the throes of youthful innocence, feel their blood boil.

Guang Chen's learning ability is still strong. After all, this is not theory, but something that needs to be solved in real combat. In order not to dance like an old lady, he will also learn some simple things online at home. If Qian Wen becomes his new dance partner, then someone will teach him the parts he doesn't understand. After all, based on his current understanding of Qian Wen, she is simply a hexagonal warrior, and she is excellent in learning and the three types of special courses she has chosen.

That's awesome! Wish me luck in completing my credits!

Next week is the equestrian class that Guang Guangchen has been deliberately avoiding. His predecessor was far too flamboyant, always choosing the most eye-catching options. The school even has its own riding stable, which shows he's really talented. The beginner equestrian class will obviously be more difficult than Guang Guangchen imagined...

The afternoon ballroom dance class had a monthly test, so the school was in an uproar. Many basic courses were suspended. Guang Chen changed into a white dress and stood in front of two girls. Because he had been controlling his diet recently, he had lost some weight and looked taller. Chen Nuanxin immediately turned into a little fangirl and kept circling around her boss.

Zhou Qianwen's gaze was also fixed on him. Usually, Jian Guang was very straightforward, but today, dressed like this, he unexpectedly looked more elegant. Indeed, the saying "clothes make the man" is true.

"Qianwen, aren't you going to change your clothes? Could it be..." Guangchang subconsciously thought of something bad, something like the family burden problem in Zhou Qianwen's family.

"Huh? Yeah! Let's go now!" Zhou Qianwen realized what she meant, blushed and nodded repeatedly, tugging at Chen Nuanxin's sleeve, asking her to come with her.

"Boss, let's go then." Chen Nuanxin grinned, revealing two rows of neat teeth, and the two girls headed to the changing room to change clothes.

Guangchang Chen had arranged to meet them before the beginner's ballroom dance class, so he went ahead of time.

Now that Zhou Qianwen has entered the core members of F6 with the first place in her second year of high school, and is now willing to be his dance partner, this class will surely cause quite a stir, right?

Guang Guangchen passed by Teaching Building No. 1 and walked along a quiet corridor. This was a shortcut, but because there were many trees in this area and the hot weather caused a lot of fallen leaves, most students did not walk here. However, Guang Guangchen liked this place. Walking under the dappled shadows of the leaves, he could always feel a touch of fantasy.

"Student Guang Guangchen?" A voice called out, almost making Guang Guangchen's legs go weak.

Guangchang knew who the other person was just by hearing the address. He turned around, his eyes filled with a hint of resentment, and looked at Yan Xingmeng behind him, saying, "Please, can you not suddenly appear when someone's acting like a teenager? It's really ruining the atmosphere."

As his gaze lingered, Guang Chen also saw Yan Xingmeng in a flawless white dress. At that moment, the stunning scene before him left him mesmerized.

The girl with delicate features, the red fallen leaves on the corridor, the backless high heels, the colors blending into the environment—everything about her seemed so attractive.

"President... what is this...?"

"Surprise inspection, surprise inspection, just like that oil painting class. Go to the beginner class and see if there are any interesting first-year high school students. Your outfit... are you going to take the monthly test?" Yan Xingmeng's gaze swept over Guang Guangchen, making him a little embarrassed.

"No, I'm not participating in the monthly test; it's just a regular trial lesson."

"Still the beginner's class?"

"Correct."

"What a strange fellow. In that case, how about I be your dance partner this time?" Yan Xingmeng smiled with narrowed eyes, gently lifting the hem of her skirt with both hands. Her posture was elegant, and the purplish-blue veins could be seen through her fair, cold skin. This invitation was undoubtedly a heavyweight.

Just as Guangchang was about to refuse, Yan Xingmeng suddenly turned her gaze to the passageway beyond the corridor, as if she understood something, and immediately changed her mind: "It seems you've already found a dance partner, so let's leave it at that this time. I'll give you to her. I'll head out now, Guangchang, see you next time."

Yan Xingmeng wiggled her right hand, a mysterious smile playing on her lips, her eyes conveying an unmistakable message. Guangchang Chen immediately turned his head in the direction of her gaze and saw Zhou Qianwen walking briskly away down the corridor.

23. I knew it! I just love you!

Qianwen had clearly heard the president's question; this was the classic plot development...

"Aren't you going to chase after them?"

"..." Guangchang pursed his lips, glanced at Yan Xingmeng, and then jogged to catch up with Qianwen.

At this point, there's no point in arguing with the chairman. He doesn't want to be like those silent characters in dramas who drag out a simple matter for several episodes without saying a word to fill time. He chooses to explain things clearly as soon as possible.

Running around the end of the alley, Guangchang quickly caught sight of Qianwen. He moved even faster, taking two steps at a time, and finally blocked Qianwen's way before she went up the stairs.

Zhou Qianwen stared at him in shock.

Wearing a light pink dress unlike the president's, with lace tied at the chest, Qianwen's figure was perfectly showcased. Although she was still a high school student and quite immature, Guang Chen's gaze was already deeply attracted to her.

"Wait, wait..." Guangchang hesitated before speaking.

Zhou Qianwen dared not look Guang Chen in the eye and turned her head away; there were still some things she couldn't say.

Seeing this, Guangchang knew it was up to him to speak, so he calmed himself down and said firmly, "Didn't we agree to meet at the entrance of the beginner class?"

This question shocked Zhou Qianwen once again. She tilted her head back, covered her mouth with her right fingertip, and finally met Guang Yuchen's gaze: "But just now, wasn't the president..."

Sure enough, sometimes misunderstandings arise from coincidences like this, especially in a world where love reigns supreme. It always seems to happen to coincide with some people who want to use sadomasochistic relationships to fuel their emotions, which is simply insane.

"No, that was just the president joking, just joking," Guangchang repeated casually, not wanting to make a big deal out of it.

"Just kidding..." Zhou Qianwen was still a little dazed. She never expected the situation to turn around so quickly.

"It was the student council president who noticed you nearby and reminded me, otherwise I probably would have been searching the whole school for you."

"Yes, I'm sorry..." Zhou Qianwen apologized, her face flushed.

Although there was a hint of complaint in Guangchang's tone, it was only a little. After all, today... Guangchang cupped Zhou Qianwen's face in his hands, straightened her head, and as she opened her wide eyes, Guangchang took a step back, extended his right hand towards her, and said elegantly, "Let's go, let's go to the beginner class together."

Perhaps it's unclear what Zhou Qianwen originally envisioned happening today, but judging from the joy gradually emanating from her eyes, she must be quite happy.

"Mmm!" Zhou Qianwen nodded heavily, her bangs flying, and placed her right hand on Guangchang Chen's left hand.

……

It's called ballroom dancing, and there are so many different styles, but in the beginner class, they can all be mixed up into one dance: foot-stomping dance, where you stomp on me and I stomp on you.

Those with dance experience would have already moved on to the intermediate or advanced classes; those who remain in the beginner class must be a group of hidden talents! They initially had mutual attraction and chatted quite well online, but after stepping on each other's feet a few times in real life, their expressions clearly stiffened. It seems that using ballroom dancing to warm up their relationship wasn't the right approach.

Guangchang only learned the simplest ballroom dances, counting the beats and getting the steps right to pass. Now, with professional instructors like Zhou Qianwen, it's believed that leaving the beginner class will be very quick.

Zhou Qianwen's appearance in the beginner class was obviously unexpected by everyone present. The pairing of Zhou Qianwen and Guang Guangchen was even more astonishing. In the past, it was rumored that this Guang Guangchen was very close to Zhou Qianwen, a newly promoted core member of F6, but that was just hearsay. Now, seeing the two chatting and exchanging ideas without any gaps, they must be at least very good friends.

Amidst the envious and jealous glances from the male and female students, Guangchang uniformly chose to ignore them.

Surrounded by a bunch of lousy dancers, Guangchang Chen realized he wasn't embarrassed to learn to dance; most of the students in his class were really about the same level as him...

Guang Chen glanced around. The class had already started, but he didn't see Yan Xingmeng. He'd clearly heard her say she'd come to the beginner's class to have some fun. Had she had a change of heart? Did she know Zhou Qianwen was in the beginner's class with him today, so she deliberately didn't come and bother her? Was Yan Xingmeng really such a considerate character? Was he sure... there was no out-of-character moment?

"Guang... what are you thinking about?" Zhou Qianwen's voice was very soft. The basic dance steps were very simple. She also felt that Guang Chen seemed to be a complete novice. Why did he go to the intermediate class before? Maybe it was just for Cao Ruoyu... Thinking like that, it's easy to overthink. She was also trying not to overthink.

"Ah? It's nothing." Guang Chen realized he had been daydreaming and quickly came to his senses. He smiled apologetically, his expression returning to seriousness, and lowered his voice, "Thank you for being willing to teach me, Qianwen."

"Mmm, mmm..." Zhou Qianwen placed her hands on Guang Yunchen's hands, and the two took simple steps. Zhou Qianwen's skin was naturally fair, so there were patches of red and white on her neck, making it look like she had an allergic reaction. Her mood was too easy to read.

The class was more than halfway through when the two stopped, found a place to sit down and rest. The classroom was large, and gradually everyone's attention shifted from the two of them to themselves as the teacher reprimanded them. Guang Chen and his companion thus gradually felt as if they were entering their own private world.

This time, she made a heartwarming excuse to not be there and stepped in for me. But what about next time? Will she make the same excuse next time? Would it be better to just say it outright here? The feelings I'm carrying inside are still heavy. What exactly are these feelings?

Zhou Qianwen clutched her chest, having made up her mind to talk to Guang about her upcoming dance partner. Just as she looked up, she saw Guang Chen looking flustered, holding a delicate little box containing a silver bracelet—the very same one she'd seen with Nuanxin in the mall a couple of days ago…

"You suddenly turned around and startled me... It seems I was exposed too quickly. The script really doesn't always go exactly as planned." Guang Chen saw that he had already been exposed, so he might as well be open about it. He handed the opened box directly to Zhou Qianwen and continued, "Nuanxin thoughtfully mentioned this to me. I was still thinking about what to give you. Anyway... Happy birthday, Qianwen."

To be precise, tomorrow is Zhou Qianwen's birthday, but it's the weekend and everyone has their own plans, so giving the gift today is the best option.

Zhou Qianwen's face was completely blank, followed by an even stronger feeling within her—was she even more confused? No, not at all. Quite the opposite, Zhou Qianwen was fully aware of this feeling, after countless confirmations…

As I knew it... I do like you...

24. An unusual evaluation?

……

The small fan was blowing, but autumn was still much hotter than expected. Guangchang Chen sat on a bench at the edge of the playground, eating a popsicle to cool down his body temperature, and... Guangchang Chen's gaze slowly turned to the left, where he was greeted by a smiling face.

It wasn't heartwarming, but rather Chu Ling, who had only recently become his friend through social interaction.

"Brother Guang, want another Coke?" Chu Ling grinned, took a bottle of Coke from a large bag of snacks, and handed it over. His actions, his expression…

Guangchang's eyes twitched, but he remained calm and said, "Is this okay? Chu Ling, you're getting so close to me. Aren't you a new member of F6?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Ling's smile turned blank, and she asked in return, "What does this have to do with becoming a member of F6?"

“Um… I mean…” Guangchang squinted, as if he really couldn’t explain it clearly.

"It's mainly because of your previous actions that I think you are a very remarkable person. You are older than me, so it's normal for me to call you brother. I will also firmly learn from your beliefs and continue to follow you!" Chu Ling's eyes shone, just like a little fanboy. Well, that's right. He was even a little cautious when talking to me. I'm not some kind of idol star, am I?

"Belief? What belief?"

"That's right... I absolutely won't date in high school! I won't be influenced by any member of the opposite sex, and I'll stay true to myself! Brother Guang, I've been watching what you've done. Now that you're so popular at school, there must be quite a few girls confessing to you, right? You haven't accepted any of them. That kind of stable core is something I really need to learn from!" Chu Ling nodded firmly with a resolute expression.

As for Guangchang himself, he remained motionless while sucking on the popsicle.

When did I start influencing others? And is it possible for me to influence how others behave in this world?

And most importantly...

Chu Ling, aren't you the main character? You're supposed to be a gender-swapped, submissive character, shouldn't you be being tormented to death by the main characters at this point? Suddenly you're determined not to date in high school, how will the story progress smoothly...?

Guangchang didn't know whether he had done a good thing or a bad thing. Driven by curiosity, he still asked, "Oh, oh... that's true, but don't go against your own heart too much. It's different to be clear that you won't date in high school and to force yourself not to date. Actively avoiding it will backfire. How are you feeling in the student council so far?"

Guangchang Chen was referring to his relationship with those core members.

The three new members are Chu Ling, Qian Wen, and a high school senior described as special. The permanent members are the expressionless Shan Yimo, the squinty-eyed vice president Sun Weizecheng, and the president Yan Xingmeng. The group of six, based on the information I've heard over this period, gives Guangchang the impression that this is a chaotic organization. Cao Ruoyu did so many outrageous things before, but she was only replaced in the new year. The core members don't seem to care about the personality of the people they recruit, as if meeting certain standards is all that matters.

"You're absolutely right! Brother Guang, I'll keep your words in mind!" Chu Ling was practically writing down Guang Changchen's words in a little notebook. He was only a little over 1.6 meters tall and weighed less than 100 pounds, and he spoke in a soft and gentle voice... Hey, how about we send a proud and sarcastic character to lock him up with him?

"As for the student council... I originally thought those upperclassmen would be scary, but apart from saying some ambiguous things, they didn't do anything bad to me and even promised to help me a lot, especially the president! She's such a good person."

A good person... This is the first time I've heard someone describe Yan Xingmeng as a good person, and it's not a lie, but a genuine feeling.

Guangchang suddenly recalled his previous meetings with Yan Xingmeng. He thought he was like a clown trying to please her and relieve her daily boredom, but their conversations were basically on the same level. Yan Xingmeng didn't use her status to intimidate him. At the very least... she shouldn't be a bad person.

"Really?" Guangchang murmured, finishing his popsicle and tossing it into his bag. Suddenly remembering something, he casually asked, "There's also a new senior high school boy. I heard he was a core member for a year before. What's your impression of him?"

"You mean Junche? He's amazing! He's smart, athletic, and I heard he gets full marks in all his special courses. His family is also one of the wealthiest in the country. I heard he had some conflicts with some of the regular members in his second year of high school, but he ended up joining F6. I guess that's what they call 'no fight, no friendship.' He's so nice to everyone. I feel like we're on completely different levels..." Chu Ling looked envious. So far, he didn't think he was qualified to be a core member of the student council. Even a casual remark from someone could startle him. He still needed to work on his courage.

"No fight, no friendship?" The phrase sounded unexpectedly familiar. Guangchang instantly recalled what Shan Yimo had said when she stopped him in the garage. First, she hoped he would become the president's friend; second, she mentioned that the three regular members became friends through a fight. So, this senior high school boy hadn't truly been accepted by the three? Were all the gestures of goodwill just a facade? Or did the three simply dislike sunny, cheerful guys, making his own life as a "funny guy" seem even darker?
