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

"The president is already very strong."

Is this considered sarcasm?

Guangchang Chenchun watched with amusement, and now it seemed the situation was resolved. The two must have reached some kind of consensus during the fight. If not, then he really needed to give them a good talking-to.

"It's about time we went back to sleep." After saying that, Yan Xingmeng glanced at Guang Yuchen, then naturally opened her arms and waited quietly. "Mmm."

The meaning is self-evident. Oh, she said it; the two words "um" are enough to convey the meaning.

Guangchang pursed his lips, then opened his arms. Yan Xingmeng happily stepped forward and hugged him. After letting go, Yan Xingmeng turned her attention to Shan Yimo. Shan Yimo blushed and then slowly raised her hands.

Wow, quite a few consensuses have been reached.

Guang Chen was a little embarrassed, but based on Yi Mo's personality, this time he took the initiative to hug her.

Now that the two had hugged, Guang Chen stood at the door, watching them leave together. He then stretched and went into the room.

At the far left corner of the room, Zhang Hesong peeked out and unexpectedly witnessed this scene. He was so shocked that his mouth remained agape. It was terrifying...

192. Things have changed...

……

"Ha~" Guang Guangchen yawned deeply. Sunlight shone through the gauze curtains of the window, and standing next to Guang Guangchen was a maid who was waiting. He glanced at the time and realized it was still early. However, they were staying overnight at Yan Xingmeng's house. Because Yan Xingmeng was the student council president, she had to arrive at school early, so Guang Guangchen and the others who were traveling on the same train also had to get up.

Get out of bed, wash up, and eat.

Yan Xingmeng's mother wasn't there; it was Guangchang Chen and the others who were having their meal. Whatever they wanted to eat, a menu would be handed to them when they woke up. Hmm, Guangchang Chen was starting to feel like an aristocrat. Oh, this damn sense of ritual! They thoughtfully ordered a lot of food, and they ate it all. They ate so much for breakfast; let's see how much they can eat for lunch.

After finishing their meal, the group prepared to head to the school. Standing at the entrance, Guang Chen watched as a black car slowly drove up in the distance. It was almost time to leave, so he greeted the people beside him, including Zhang Hesong.

"Brother! Take care!" Zhang Hesong shouted loudly with a strong voice. What was with this sense of conviction? Did Yan Xingmeng's reprimand last night immediately improve him like this? Hmm, he's teachable. Guangchang Chen's approval of his little cousin Zhang Hesong increased. Of course, he couldn't guess just how terrifying Zhang Hesong had witnessed last night, and at the same time, he felt a deep fear of his older brother Guangchang Chen…

Guang Guangchen got on the bus first, followed by Yan Xingmeng and Shan Yimo. When they saw Guang Guangchen sitting there, they paused for a moment, wondering who would be better to sit next to him. This thought only lasted for two seconds before they decided to direct Guang Guangchen to sit in the middle, with the two girls sitting on either side of him, so that no one would be at a disadvantage.

Finally, Chen Nuanxin got on the bus and saw that the four-seater seats, which should have been for two people to sit facing each other, were actually occupied by three people in one row, leaving her alone in another row. She couldn't help but feel a big question mark in her mind, but... whatever, whether it's the boss, the president, or Yi Mo, if they're happy, Chen Nuanxin is happy too.

There were also iced drinks in the car, knowing that Chen Nuanxin liked iced drinks, so they specially prepared them. This refreshing feeling, ah~ Chen Nuanxin held the glass and her body shivered.

The drive to the school wasn't long. After chatting for a few minutes, they arrived at the school gate. Guang Guangchen was mentally prepared; this was the first time he had gotten out of the president's car, and he figured the school's gossip would explode again. But since he had decided to move forward, these impressions of him from others wouldn't affect Guang Guangchen at all.

The driver then got out of the car, went around to the back to open the door, and Chen Nuanxin got out first, immediately causing an uproar. Many students cast surprised glances at her. Then the other three got out of the car one after another. When Guang Guangchen appeared, many ordinary students who had only guessed that there was something going on between Guang Guangchen and the president were immediately satisfied. Their satisfaction was no less than the joy they felt when watching Code Geass and the driver's party ultimately won.

It's been a long time since he's received so much attention. Many students took out their phones and started snapping photos of Guangchang. I'm sure it will soon be all over the class group chat again.

"This is the first time I've come to school this early. Oh, the early bird catches the worm." Chen Nuanxin looked around and found that there were quite a few students who had arrived at school at the same time. Three members of F6 appeared together, plus Guangyu Chen, who was always referred to as the seventh member of F6, forming a luxurious lineup.

Guangchang does receive a lot of attention, but it's quite rare for him to be photographed like a celebrity.

Just as Guangchang Chen was about to hurry up and enter the school gate, several luxury cars were parked not far away. The drivers of the cars got out and spread a red carpet in front of the back seat of the middle car. The red carpet stretched from the foot of the back seat all the way to the open school gate.

Huh? Who is this? Guangchang hesitated for a moment, then the back door of the luxury car opened, and Jiang Xintong, wearing a bright red uniform and her new black boots, stepped out of the seat. As if accompanied by a special background music, every second of her appearance was like a flashback. The action of taking off her sunglasses could be repeated three times over. Two rather aggressive spiral ponytails followed. So it's the young lady... Her arrival at school has always been so domineering. Guangchang had always thought that this was only the case when she first appeared. Or was he too naive?

Wait a minute, this seems to differ from the young lady's character in Guangchang's memories.

"Miss, you always arrive at school late, usually after morning self-study. Why are you here so early today?" Guangchang asked casually.

“No, Xintong has been coming this early ever since a month ago, but she just didn’t tell you,” Yan Xingmeng replied.

"A month ago?"

“Yes, a month ago, that seemed to be some kind of special moment.” Yan Xingmeng’s answer was somewhat meaningful.

Guangchang immediately realized that ever since the young lady came to this school, she had been competing with Yan Xingmeng. At first, they were just rivals, competing in various subjects and special courses. Then, she learned that Yan Xingmeng liked her and wanted to back down. Then, she stood up for him and said that she would resolutely protect her subordinate. She had been enduring it all until she completely broke down on that platform and expressed her feelings for him. That time was exactly one month ago.

"You're kidding me, right? It started a month ago? Why?" Chen Nuanxin couldn't believe it either. This was the young lady who always loved to sleep in.

"Of course it's a challenge to me, but this time it's different, Guangchang, you should understand," Yan Xingmeng said, as was her habit.

But coincidentally, Guangchang really does understand.

And I was very surprised.

The young lady has always been more about form than substance; she does many things in hopes of gaining approval, so her focus is always on making herself known. Her competition with Yan Xingmeng, frankly, is largely related to Guang Guangchen. But this time, she hasn't told Guang Guangchen or Chen Nuanxin anything; she's simply carrying out her actions. This is completely different. The young lady has changed…

Only immature people get praised for their growth; such words are more for comforting children. But when it comes to this kind of weighty personal execution, Guang Chen couldn't utter a word. The young lady put practicality before everything else...

Guangchang stared in surprise, while Jiang Xintong also noticed Yan Xingmeng's car. She had noticed it long ago and was determined to outshine Yan Xingmeng in terms of pomp and circumstance. "Hmph, Yan Xingmeng, you'll understand..."

Jiang Xintong's gaze shifted until she passed a driver blocking her view on the left, and then she saw Guang Yuchen standing in front of Yan Xingmeng's car, and... Nuanxin.

Jiang Xintong originally wanted to go up and tease Yan Xingmeng a bit, but she stopped in her tracks as soon as she turned around. This was completely different from the situation she had imagined. In addition to Shan Yimo and the other three, why were these four people gathered together?

Jiang Xintong's mind raced, contemplating her next move. Should she storm up and confront him? That would be more in line with her personality, right? Personality? When did she ever define her own personality? Jiang Xintong snapped out of her reverie, her gaze shifting to the side as she walked straight toward the school gate. She had chosen to run away again… Just like that time when she shoved a 100 million yuan check in Guang Guangchen's face, only to be rejected. She… took the initiative, but still failed.

Was her struggle with Yan Xingmeng mostly for her own sake? Jiang Xintong repeated this to herself more than once. Guang Chen rejected her, but she still didn't give up. Wasn't this her persistence? It had nothing to do with any other boy; it was all for herself!

Jiang Xintong strengthened her resolve, but quickened her pace.

Now everyone with eyes can see the situation clearly. Many students suddenly remembered that Guang Chen also had another identity: Miss Jiang's follower. Now this follower got off the bus with the student council president. Could it be that he has already decided to take sides? Is the situation about to change again? After all, just over half a month ago there were rumors that the student council president would be replaced. This reversal is a bit too big, isn't it?

"This is bad, boss," Chen Nuanxin said, squinting her eyes and looking distressed.

“In this situation, shouldn’t this be your strength, Guangchang Chen?” Yan Xingmeng said with a squinting smile.

Guangchang Chen turned to look at the three of them, and Shan Yimo stepped forward, getting close to him, and said calmly, "I believe you."

This sentence was incredibly encouraging. It should be said that Guang Chen had already thought about what to do, but the fact that he could get Yi Mo and Xing Meng's understanding made it all the more meaningful.

"Of course, it's not like we're filming some kind of tragic romance drama. If it goes in that direction, then my consistent principles would be a complete failure." After saying that, Guangchang raised his right hand and took Nuanxin to chase after Jiang Xintong.

A proud boss who is hardworking, cute, and considerate of others should never have to go through this. Guang Guangchen didn't hesitate and quickly caught up. Any melodramatic drama that can be made into more than fifty episodes is based on various misunderstandings and missed opportunities. The screenwriter is like a pair of big hands that manipulate the characters, constantly stirring up the audience's emotions. Guang Guangchen will not let this happen.

After only half a minute of chasing, Guangchang Chen overtook the young lady as they passed through the central corridor, blocking her way. He crouched down like he was playing volleyball, looking aggressive. Jiang Xintong was stunned for a moment, then quickly frowned and turned to leave, but Chen Nuanxin blocked her way in the same manner.

"Why are you still chasing me! Go with your club president!"

"That's not the case, we can explain."

"What's there to explain? Why are you all still following me, especially you! Guang Guangchen, you've already rejected me, why are you still staying in my group! It's just because, just because..." Jiang Xintong usually affectionately called Guang Guangchen a money-grubber or a pauper, but at this moment, she just couldn't bring herself to say the word "money." It felt like it had become a very hurtful word...

Jiang Xintong was only momentarily lost in thought before turning her gaze back to find that Guang Chen had already come up to her, even getting quite close. Her body instinctively shrank back, but she ended up leaning directly against Chen Nuanxin behind her.

"It's okay if you don't have money, it's okay if you don't have a single penny of base salary from now on, that's heartwarming, is that alright?" Guangchang tilted his head to confirm.

“Completely OK!” Chen Nuanxin frowned and gave a similarly serious hand gesture.

“Yes, as long as we can stay in this group, that’s all that matters to us!” Guangchang Chen said, taking another step forward.

"Huh? Wait, wait a minute..." Jiang Xintong was a bit disoriented by the two's combined move. She wanted to back away, but she was already completely pressed against Nuanxin. Were these two trying to sandwich her like a hamburger?

Jiang Xintong's thoughts began to become chaotic, but noticing Guang Chen's gaze in front of her, the gaze of this boy who had rejected her, she wondered if he had never considered leaving her...

Jiang Xintong fell silent, and the two waited quietly until Jiang Xintong raised her eyes again and asked a question: "Do you like me?"

This is a dangerous problem; it requires thorough investigation...

"I don't like it," Guangchang Chen replied instantly.

Jiang Xintong was stunned by the speed of his reply. The next second, she looked like she was about to cry and wanted to run away again, but this time Guang Changchen grabbed her arm and wouldn't let her leave. He was really in full control.

At this moment, it seemed that the situation was about to explode again. The boss suffered a second blow, and Guangchang Chen entered a state of deep concentration, seemingly without any hope. But miraculously, Chen Nuanxin, who was behind Jiang Xintong, suddenly had a burst of inspiration. It seemed that the breakfast at Yan Xingmeng's house provided her with enough energy. Her thoughts were flowing, and things she knew in the past frequently flashed through her mind. Finally, she pieced together that sentence.

"A moment...yes, the key is a moment!"

------

P.S.: I worked overtime tonight, and started writing as soon as I got back. I wrote 3,800 words and I'm feeling really weak now. Everything will be the same tomorrow.

193. The Importance of Warmth

Jiang Xintong, who was trying to break free, slowly turned her head, her eyes still brimming with tears. But this wasn't the first time she had heard this word, and for a moment, she didn't react anymore. She stared at Chen Nuanxin behind her and asked, "Eh?"

Chen Nuanxin's words immediately caught the attention of Jiang Xintong and Guangchang Chen. This was because the word was mentioned indirectly, and Chen Nuanxin had heard it many times and silently remembered it. She never expected that she would use it at this moment when inspiration struck.

"What do you mean?" Jiang Xintong continued to ask, her tone still sounding somewhat aggrieved, as if she would completely break down if the answer didn't solve her problem. Come to think of it, the price of her courageous act was being harshly rejected. For a super rich girl like Jiang Xintong, especially a proud and arrogant one, it would be no different from the sky falling down.

"Um... I just wanted to say..." Chen Nuanxin glanced at her equally puzzled boss. It seemed she would be the one to answer now. Chen Nuanxin, answer properly!

"In an instant... Boss, you've mentioned this to me several times before. I've been thinking, is it possible that liking someone isn't something that develops over time, but rather that there's a certain moment, a certain point, when you're attracted to that person? If spending more time together leads to liking, then shouldn't Boss like me too?"

This was quite a unique angle. Jiang Xintong stopped making a fuss, her hunched shoulders gradually relaxed, and she continued to listen to Chen Nuanxin.

"I've heard different people talk about her love experiences. For example, Qianwen mentioned that if she wants to like someone, she needs to understand every aspect of their life. But in reality, isn't it me who visits my boss's house the most often? Are my boss and I in a romantic relationship? No, we aren't. So, in my opinion, and from what I've heard from my boss, liking someone can happen in an instant, just like..."

It was like a gentle breeze.

This is what Guangchang Chen and Chen Nuanxin described in their memories; it really felt like there was wind.

"Like a breeze brushing against your face, right?" Chen Nuanxin chose to repeat her boss's words, her gaze confirming with Guangchang Chen.

Guangchang Chen had indeed said this before. He always considered it a unique hint in this world of love-struck people. When you like someone, it's like Cupid shooting an arrow, while here it's like a gentle breeze blowing, a psychological flutter, telling you that you've fallen in love.

Jiang Xintong stared blankly at Nuanxin, still a little confused. Perhaps she had broken down and her mind hadn't quite caught up.

Seeing this, Chen Nuanxin continued, "So not liking someone now doesn't mean you've really lost, boss. You're just missing that one moment, just like how the boss liked Yi Mo. It was a sudden realization of liking someone. You also have your own personal charm. As long as that moment comes one day, everything will change."

"Huh?" This time it was Guangchang Chen's turn to be confused. He had never indicated to Nuanxin that he meant that. Was this way of persuading her a little inappropriate?

But the words had already been spoken, and Jiang Xintong had taken them to heart. She turned around and looked at Guang Yuchen in surprise, then pointed at him, sniffed, and said with a hint of a sob in her voice, "You mean he's not the type to develop feelings over time, right?"

"Yes! It's just a different type. Some people develop feelings over time, but it seems like our boss is more inclined to sudden attraction. And, and, boss, you still have that adorable tsundere personality. We both understand the charm of that, so don't be angry, and don't say anything about disbanding the group, okay?"

It was completely unexpected that such comforting words would come from the mouth of the unreliable Chen Nuanxin. In the past, even her closest friend Guang Chen would have thought that there must be some reluctance about money involved. But now, the two of them were even willing to give up their base salary in order to keep the group going. These words successfully touched Jiang Xintong's heart. She finally calmed down and found a new direction in her confusion, so she stopped making a fuss.

Chen Nuanxin slowly loosened her grip on the boss's armpits. Jiang Xintong lowered her gaze and after a while, she said softly, "I understand. We won't disband."

Upon hearing this answer, Guangchang and the other person both breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'll think about that again. Also, can what just happened really be explained clearly?" Jiang Xintong frowned and asked to confirm.

"I guarantee it. I'll present a detailed report to the boss at noon," Chen Nuanxin replied with a salute.

Jiang Xintong was very satisfied with the answer. She nodded, then looked at Guang Yuchen and said, "Alright, everyone go back to the classroom. See you at noon..."

"See you at noon," Guang Guangchen replied to Chen Nuanxin in quick succession, then watched the young lady leave quickly until she was completely out of sight. Only then did Guang Guangchen glance at Chen Nuanxin. Noticing his gaze, Chen Nuanxin immediately shrank back, gave a dry laugh, and muttered, "Boss, don't be impulsive. What happened just now was a special case..."

Before she could finish speaking, Guang Chen placed his hand on her head, interrupting her.

Oh?

Guangchang sighed and said, "Although the method is a bit strange, it's well done. It's heartwarming. I really can't do without you."

Hearing her boss's praise, Chen Nuanxin's eyes immediately lit up with surprise. She grinned and said, "Of course! I'm your strategist, boss!"

"That's the idea. It seems like the young lady should hold on for a while longer, but gradually reducing her expectations will make her feel better."

"Eh?"

"Eh?"

The two stared at each other blankly.

It was only then that the two realized a slight difference in their thinking. Guang Chen thought it was Nuan Xin's way of stalling, but Nuan Xin was actually genuinely suggesting a direction.

As if the scene had frozen, it wasn't until seven or eight seconds later that Guangchang finally hunched over weakly, one hand supporting his face, and said helplessly, "So that's how it is. I misunderstood..."

"I'm sorry, boss, you won't blame me, will you?" Chen Nuanxin asked cautiously.

"Sigh...it's not your fault at all." Guangchang rubbed Nuanxin's head as usual to reassure her. Chen Nuanxin actually cared a lot about her boss's evaluation of her. As for loyalty, she was beyond reproach.

"So, boss, you think it's impossible?" Chen Nuanxin asked again.

Guangchang Chen put his hands on his hips and replied, "In other words, can you imagine a day when I feel sorry for you, or when you suddenly develop feelings for me?"

"I like you, boss."

"I'm not talking about that kind of liking, of course, but the liking between a man and a woman in romantic love. Can you imagine that?"

"Emmm...I can't imagine it." Chen Nuanxin closed her eyes, trying hard to imagine it, but it was really hard to connect it to this.

"Right, maybe some people are just impossible, and that's the case between me and the young lady."

"So, did you initially think there was a possibility between you and the president? You've always said it was impossible, haven't you? Everyone in the school thought it was impossible, but isn't the situation completely different now? Boss, watch out for the boomerang." Chen Nuanxin narrowed her eyes, extended her right index finger, and spun it clockwise towards Guang Mingchen.

Seeing this, Guangchang grabbed her fingers, because it reminded him of Yan Xingmeng, who loved to make that gesture.

"What boomerang? Are you talking about the young lady, or about you?"

"Maybe it will happen someday in the future, when the boss will love me to death, hehehehehe."

"You don't have a fever, do you?" Guang Chen flicked Nuan Xin's forehead. Nuan Xin winced in pain, covered her forehead, snorted, and let out a groan.

But in any case, they managed to persuade the young lady. Whether it was Guang Chen gradually lowering his expectations or Chen Nuanxin still believing there was a glimmer of hope, these things need to be verified over a long period of time. In short, let's take it slow.
