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

"Um... it's Han Junche."

Both Guangchang and Shan Yimo exclaimed in confusion, especially Guangchang, who was most puzzled. Just two days ago, Sun Weizecheng had mentioned that Han Junche was pursuing Yan Xingmeng, and now Han Junche was harassing Shan Yimo? Guangchang didn't believe Shan Yimo would lie about something like this. Did that mean Han Junche was pursuing both of them simultaneously? Huh? What exactly is this guy's background?

"If you hate it, wouldn't it be better to just say so directly?"

"It's no use. He'll keep saying things like it's okay if you don't agree now, that he'll silently protect you from behind..."

"..." Now it was Guangchang Chenda's turn to be speechless. Considering the current worldview, it seemed quite reasonable, but it was a bit of a pity for Shan Yimo.

Guangchang placed one hand on his forehead and shook his head, saying, "I understand you."

"So could you help me find a trustworthy and reliable guy to do me this favor?"

"Trustworthy...reliable..." Guangchang searched his mind at lightning speed, and almost in the next second, a candidate appeared in his mind. That honest and kind appearance, it's you. Guangchang looked at Shan Yimo and said, "Got it, how about Chu Ling?"

She has a gentle and kind personality, and is also a bit submissive.

Paired with a cool single moss, it's absolutely stunning!

"Chu Ling... I hadn't thought about that..." Shan Yimo was really considering this matter.

Just as the two were discussing the rationale behind this, Chen Nuanxin, who was sitting to the side, stared blankly at the two who were talking, and a strange idea slowly emerged in her mind.

And then looking at Shan Yimo, beautiful, tall, from a wealthy family, and well-mannered—she seemed like the cream of the crop. Could it be that my judgment had been flawed all along, and that Secretary Shan was actually more like a powerful, domineering woman? The probability was small, but what if…

"Can't I be the boss?" Chen Nuanxin said lightly.

Just when the other two were quiet, this sentence immediately attracted their attention, and they both looked at Chen Nuanxin.

Chen Nuanxin knew it was time to step up. She raised her head, her eyes hardening, met Shan Yimo's gaze, and solemnly said, "Can't my boss do it?"

Ah… Guangchang let out the same surprised sound as Kayako.

Just as Guangchang was about to give Nuanxin a lecture, Shan Yimo spoke first: "No, that won't do."

A direct denial, and see? Your boss ended up getting friend-zoned for no reason.

"Why?" Chen Nuanxin slammed her hands on the table and stood up a little, eager to know the answer.

Shan Yimo tilted her head slightly, then said directly, "Because... he belongs exclusively to the president..."

"?!" Chen Nuanxin's eyes widened in surprise.

"Toy."

As the last two words fell, Guangchang's forehead slammed onto the table. His friends had been verbally insulted by their big spender...

Chen Nuanxin, unaware of the truth, kept patting her boss on the shoulder. What's going on? It sounds like there's some unexpected news here.

35. Let it be a lifetime.

……

"Are you a spy? Why are you asking so many questions?"

"Really? I was just curious." Chen Nuanxin munched on her takeout meat pie as she walked home with Guang Guangchen. Facing the setting sun, Guang Guangchen's back was slightly hunched. In the past half hour, he had even wondered if his little brother was a spy sent by the student council, since he was so good at asking questions.

"Ha... Anyway, paid work is quite motivating, right?" Guangchang spread his hands and shrugged.

"Mmm." Chen Nuanxin nodded, but her mind was still on Senior Sister Shan and the president. Both girls were obviously one in a million. Even the leader was barely qualified to be matched with them. Chen Nuanxin really wanted to make a choice between the two, which was a really difficult thing. Ah! Wait, there's also Qianwen. Oh no, I almost forgot about Qianwen.

Chen Nuanxin's expression suddenly turned serious, and she subconsciously muttered her thoughts: "Whether it's the president or Qianwen, it's such a difficult choice..."

Upon hearing this, Guangchang suddenly stopped, and Chen Nuanxin also stopped. As soon as she looked up, she saw that her boss had already pinched her cheeks with both hands. He had been eating a lot lately, and his face was a little chubby. He rubbed it a couple of times, and with a meat patty in his mouth, he mumbled a soft plea for mercy.

Guangchang looked at her with a strange expression, then released his grip on her cheek and said, "Don't have such weird thoughts in the future, understand? Today we're just here to take on a paid mission. Money and knowledge are what truly belong to us."

"Liar... By the time you enter the workforce, you've already forgotten everything you learned in school..." Chen Nuanxin muttered, pouting. But seeing her boss reach out to pinch her cheek again, she immediately covered her face, took two steps back, and forced a smile, saying, "Boss is right~"

“But boss, you won’t always think this way in the future, right? Then it’ll just be me by your side forever.” Chen Nuanxin spread her hands and shook her head helplessly.

Guangchang nodded in confusion, then laughed out loud: "Are you an idiot? We definitely won't be together forever."

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Chen Nuanxin, who had been grinning, suddenly stopped laughing and fell into a daze. "Aren't you going to be together?"

"Of course, you will definitely encounter..." Guang Chen hadn't finished speaking when Chen Nuanxin suddenly moved closer, lowered her head, and gently tugged at his clothes with her right hand, without saying a word.

Perhaps... he was talking about parting too early. For someone as young as Nuanxin, separation is too difficult. Seeing Nuanxin, who is usually lively and part of the atmosphere group, become so quiet, he felt a little guilty. He raised his right hand and placed it on her head, gently rubbing it: "I'm sorry... as for calling me Boss for life, you can keep calling me that as long as you want."

Chen Nuanxin's little body trembled, and when she looked up again, her eyes were full of life again. It is said that surprises should be given when the other person is in a bad mood first. Although Guang Chen thought it was a bit silly to do so, it can indeed create more unforgettable memories.

Chen Nuanxin's loyalty is absolutely unquestionable, even reminding Guang Chen of that famous scene: "From now on, shall we be brothers?" "No way! I want to be your dog! I want to be your dog!" Currently, this déjà vu is getting stronger and stronger. If you gave Nuanxin a tail, she'd actually wag it now. However, all of this has a core contradiction that can't be resolved by mere bravado…

Guang Chen's gaze softened as he stared at her and smiled, "But Nuan Xin, you don't really think your score is high enough to get you into the same university as me, do you?"

"Eh?"

Such a realistic problem immediately shattered Chen Nuanxin's fantasy dream.

……

Pretending to be a boyfriend is ultimately a double-edged sword. Once used, it will inevitably arouse Han Junche's pettiness. Although the ending is usually good, Guangchang Chen has never advocated the 90/10 split between sweet and angsty. But right now, in terms of status, it seems that only Chu Ling is capable of this.

Shan Yimo also offered compensation: 50,000 yuan a month for stress relief. Let's do it! We'll pretend to be boyfriends! Guangchang Chen subconsciously wanted to take the plunge himself. If he persisted for a few months, he could accumulate a considerable fortune. Besides, Chu Ling's family background was quite ordinary; he was a typical student who only got into this school because of his excellent grades. He was already the top student in his grade in his first year of high school, scoring more than ten points higher than the second-place student. If he really discussed it with him…

Just do it.

Guang Guangchen and Shan Yimo arranged a time at school to call Chu Ling out. They waited in an empty classroom, and the two of them felt a little awkward. Guang Guangchen casually said, "If Chu Ling isn't suitable, Secretary Shan, why don't you consider dating someone you like? What kind of guy would you like?"

Shan Yimo sat upright with her back straight, clearly showing that her posture had been corrected by her family since childhood, which made her temperament completely different. She glanced at Guang Yuanchen out of the corner of her eye, and then said in a deep voice, "I don't like people."

"what?"

I don't like people.

"To be precise, it's that I don't like people in real life."

"Are you a member of the 2D anime/manga fandom?"

"Roughly the same……"

Guangchang Chen had long noticed that Shan Yimo had a slightly chuunibyou (delusional) personality and a fondness for handsome characters. These traits were hidden beneath her taciturn nature. Most people would never guess that the most mysterious member of the student council, Secretary Shan, would be this kind of person.

"I understand, I won't ask about the details." Guang Guangchen rested his chin on his hand, quietly gazing outside the classroom. After waiting for seven or eight minutes, Chu Ling hurriedly arrived, standing at the classroom door, bent over, hands on her knees, panting heavily. She was only about 1.6 meters tall and looked rather thin. Every time Guang Guangchen saw her, he couldn't help but want to go up and verify her appearance.

"Chu Ling, are you sure you're not a woman disguised as a man?" Guang Changchen pointed at him with his right index finger and swirled it around.

Chu Ling got anxious after hearing this and immediately retorted, "Brother Guang, please don't say that!"

Getting back to the main point, after Chu Ling sat down, the two of them briefly explained the situation to him and asked for his assistance.

Chu Ling was shocked to learn that Han Junche was this kind of person. When she heard the part about him pretending to be her boyfriend, she immediately stood up and waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "I, I can't do it!"

"Fifty thousand a month..."

"No means no..."

"why?"

"Because, because, I already have a girlfriend!" Chu Ling couldn't withstand the pressure any longer and blurted out the truth.

Guangchang Chen and Shan Yimo blinked blankly.

Um... it seems there's no way to solve this.

It turned out that Chu Ling was dating a girl in her class. The two were rivals who studied together, and the girl was the second in the grade in the first year of high school. As Chu Ling talked, she began to recount her sweet memories of her innocent high school romance.

Guangchang Chen quickly snapped out of the story and turned to look at Shan Yimo, his face slightly tense: "As expected, this 50,000 is still..."

"Time's up." Shan Yimo suddenly said this, which Guang Chen didn't quite understand. Then Shan Yimo showed him the screen of her phone.

Guangchang Chen focused his gaze and saw that the note displayed was for Yan Xingmeng, and the content was...

"Let Guangchang stay with you. Tell him to come find me."

"The president summons me," Shan Yimo said calmly.

Huh? Can't you be a little less serious? Do you really think the president is a king? Then Shan Yimo silently transferred 20,000 to Guang Guangchen. Upon seeing the money, Guang Guangchen abandoned the two of them and immediately set off for the botanical garden.

But looking at the time, another week has passed, and it's time to meet the president again. It feels like she's a fairy in a botanical garden, you can't see her normally, and she only appears at specific times and with specific people.

He found his steps surprisingly light; indeed, watching his balance steadily increase was a pleasure.

Upon arriving at the botanical garden, we turned the handle to open the door and entered. This time, before the president could even speak, Guangchang closed the door himself, and we heard a click as the door was locked.

Clocking in for work!

36. Let's meet outside next time!

The soundproofing inside is always very good, with only the slight sound of the air conditioner blowing in his ears. Guang Chen turned his head to look at the center and saw that there were some things added to the original layout, like daily office supplies. Did Yan Xingmeng move her workplace here?

Yan Xingmeng was writing something on a whiteboard. Guang Chen leaned closer and saw it was a bunch of names connected by lines. Seeing that the president wasn't paying attention to him, he said, "President..."

Before she could finish speaking, Yan Xingmeng raised her right hand, and the atmosphere immediately quieted down. She looked thoughtful, and finally drew another line on the whiteboard in front of her. After glancing at it, she put down her marker.

When she turned around, a faint smile was already on her face. She greeted Guang Yuchen by making a light grasping motion towards the air: "Noon...it's already afternoon, isn't it?"

"It's four o'clock in the afternoon, almost time for school to end," Guangchang Chen said truthfully.

"President, what are you doing? These names..." Guang Chen took a closer look at the names and didn't recognize most of them, but the name in the lower left corner was very familiar: Chu Ling. There were also three names connected to Chu Ling, and they all seemed to be girls.

“A survey of student council members’ romantic relationships and their leisure time is a topic in itself. Isn’t this what you’re most conflicted about?” Yan Xingmeng stared at him, her voice low. “Whether high school romances are true love and how to maintain the freshness of a relationship can be well verified by examining some cases of student council members.”

"So, Chu Ling is with three girls in a row at the same time...?"

"Of course, there were three girls who had some ambiguous relationships with him, but in general, Chu Ling made his choice and started dating a girlfriend, so the other two naturally became the losers."

"Loser... President, you're so perceptive." Guangchang walked step by step to the vending machine on the left side of the center and bought himself a can of iced cola.

"But isn't it a bit inappropriate to pry into other people's private lives?"

"Just consider it a task for the student council. Pleasing me, the president, is also one of their tasks. Besides, I've been influenced by you and suddenly become curious about these things. Are all the examples of relationships happening around us good or bad? Like you said, fast-food relationships are not advisable. What percentage of those relationships are actually like that? I'm quite curious." Yan Xingmeng said, tapping the whiteboard with her fingertip. People outside the student council were none of her business, so the whiteboard only showed student council members. Guang Chen glanced at it briefly. Most of them had one line, and Chu Ling, who had three lines, was the only one among them, and he even used red and black markers to distinguish them.

"What are these red and black colors?"

"Red represents the number of months since the relationship started, and the number three represents three months. Black represents the current emotional state, which is divided into four categories: loving, indifferent, disagreeing, and estranged. I think I have written this side very clearly. Judging from the current situation... perhaps what you said makes a lot of sense. High school relationships tend to break up very quickly. However, I am a little unconvinced. There are still some couples in the picture who are in long-term relationships, including Chu Ling. Perhaps a true love couple that you originally did not think would be born will emerge."

Guangchang Chen now understood. He narrowed his eyes slightly. So Yan Xingmeng had been talking for so long, and this research topic was just to refute his theory that high school romances were nothing more than fast-food relationships. She even put it into practice and had grouped people! She really had a lot of free time...

"Can't you just put your heart where it should be..." Guangchang was speechless.

"For example?"

"study."

"I've always managed to stay in the top three of my grade."

"...Sorry to bother you."

Almost forgot, the special setting maintained by the handsome man and beautiful woman group meant that even though they joked around every day, they could still achieve grades in the grade exams that ordinary students could only dream of. Guangchang Chen was a little envious and jealous for a moment.

"Then let's keep an eye on this together."

"The two of us?" Guangchang asked in surprise.

"Of course! It was your idea that I put forward, and I put it into practice, so the results definitely need to be discovered by both of us." Yan Xingmeng smiled with her eyes narrowed. There was a small sofa on the right side of the center, so she walked over and sat down.

"There's a beginner's class in horse riding next week, right?"

"It seems like it will be next week."

“Let’s take the class together that day, and I’ll help you.” Yan Xingmeng seemed to be in a good mood today, making one capricious decision after another. However, Guang Chen really knew nothing about horseback riding; he was a complete novice. To get a good grade in this special course, he really needed a top-notch teacher to teach him.

But if this person is the president, it's a bit too conspicuous.

"This..." Guang Guangchen hesitated for a moment, but then Yan Xingmeng revealed that Guang Guangchen had accepted money from Shan Yimo. "Alright, alright, you're all on the same wavelength. Shan Yimo is also a fan of the president. Shan Yimo giving money is equivalent to the president giving money." Although Guang Guangchen felt that money was important, he still felt strange about this forced order.

There is a difference between voluntarily accepting a mission and being forced to accept one. Guang Chen was speechless for a moment and did not answer. Instead, he sat down on the recliner on the left.

Yan Xingmeng realized this as well, and immediately got up from the sofa and walked towards Guang Guangchen. Was she going to use her status to intimidate him? It seemed like a classic plot, but Guang Guangchen was the last person to fall for that. If Yan Xingmeng really did that, could their relationship still be considered friendship...?

In the quiet atmosphere, only Yan Xingmeng's footsteps could be heard. She quickly arrived in front of Guang Guangchen, who also looked up, waiting for the result. If he were a domineering CEO, wouldn't he say that you had no choice at this time? But you dare to defy me, you are really an interesting man... Just thinking about it gave me goosebumps.

But the next second, Yan Xingmeng made an unexpected decision. She suddenly put her hands together, pouted, and put on a pitiful look. She leaned forward and brought her face close to Guang Changchen's. She tilted her head slightly and said softly, "Can I ask you for a favor?"

Oh my god... how come there's this trick... this sudden act of cuteness greatly surprised Guangchang. No, President, are you out of character? No, no, Guangchang doesn't really know what the president's personality is like. In fact, he has never known anything about the president in his private life.

"Ok?"

The two were very close, and Guangchang could see that the other person's youthful, delicate, and smooth facial skin was full of collagen. The beauty overload was indeed very effective, and Guangchang was amused by the other person. The serious atmosphere eased immediately, so he naturally nodded in agreement.

The president always surprised him.

The two then sat down on the edge of the same recliner as before, drinking iced cola. Yan Xingmeng even thought that the lonely sofa on the right was useless and should be removed next time.
