Guangchang was at a loss for what to do.

If you don't accept the system, then everything you've done before will have to be overturned.

His mind was completely blank. He had only thought that a girl just beginning to experience love, who had read a few shabby romance novels and had many wonderful fantasies about love, couldn't possibly truly understand the feelings between men and women. He had simply been testing Yao Ning, just like the president of the verification club, and estimated that she would only reach a maximum of 39 points. But he never expected that she would actually cross that line...

After 40 points, it's heading straight for 60! I was just telling her it was an illusion, but could there really be anything real there?!

When he came to his senses, Guangchang's hands were numb. Chen Nuanxin saw this and reached out to hold his hands, exclaiming in surprise, "Boss! Your hands are ice cold! Is it that scary... cough, although it is indeed quite scary, I also feel a chill down my spine. Boss, let's find a barbecue and hot pot restaurant to warm up, let's go."

Chen Nuanxin pulled her bewildered boss along, and instead of ordering coffee, she headed straight for the coffee shop entrance. Chen Nuanxin wasn't the type to insist on ordering after sitting down; if the price wasn't right, even if they offered her a glass of water and a plate of melon seeds after she sat down, she would resolutely leave.

Seeing how scared the eldest is, he's such a coward! Okay! Then I'll grill meat for him myself. After he eats the meat and gains strength, he won't be afraid anymore!

Chen Nuanxin led the eldest brother along, the two of them strolling leisurely along the entrance of the snack street...

……

"I'm sorry, the president can't attend today's class," Shan Yimo said, standing in front of the president's office.

Jiang Xintong exclaimed "Ah!" and frowned, asking in return, "No, it's been two days, and she still can't go? What is she doing?"

"The president is... a bit busy..." Shan Yimo didn't reveal the president's current situation, and could only use being busy as an excuse.

"..." Upon hearing this reason, Jiang Xintong had no choice but to continue holding back her anger, which she had been holding all the way. What could she do? After all, he was the student council president! Really! Couldn't he ask for help when he couldn't handle it? Look at him, trying to show off!

Jiang Xintong thought this to herself, but she didn't say a word. She turned around and left, taking a different route back to the empty classroom. She sent a message to Guangchang Chen, but after waiting for a long time without a reply, she had to contact Nuanxin again. Chen Nuanxin arrived quickly, without even breaking a sweat.

"Where's Guangkuang Chen? Didn't I tell you to call him here?"

“Boss…” A scene seemed to flash through Chen Nuanxin’s mind, her expression froze, and she scratched her cheek with her fingers, saying, “I probably can’t make it, I’ll be a little busy today…”

"Busy?" Jiang Xintong's eyes widened.

He was busy when he approached Yan Xingmeng, and he was also busy when he approached Guangchang.

Are these two kidding me?

71. I'm back!

……

Guangchang wasn't busy; he just felt a bit withdrawn.

Things unfolded more rapidly than he had imagined. He had always thought the adorable, clueless Shan Yaoning had developed romantic feelings for him after reading a few romance novels… or perhaps…

Fragments of memories flashed through Guangchang's mind: Shan Yaoning's various natural behaviors. The two chatted quite frequently on WeChat, and their interactions were always normal. Guangchang quite enjoyed chatting with her; she provided him with a lot of emotional value. When he said something, she could empathize and express the same surprise and joy. When he forwarded a song or video, she would give him a comment after watching it, instead of leaving him with no response.

That's why, faced with such a positive response, Guangchang naturally reciprocated with enthusiasm. He knew that Shan Yaoning, though seemingly sweet, actually had a penchant for dark themes, which was quite a contrast. Before they knew it, the two had become very close friends.

But if things continue like this, and given that I live in a world where love reigns supreme, who knows, one day Shan Yao Ning might boldly confess her feelings to me. Cough, in my past life, that would have been pure wishful thinking, but in this world, it seems surprisingly reasonable. Oh no… I feel like I'm already imagining a tragic love story…

The fact that Shan Yaoning and her sister were raised by their grandparents after their parents passed away is a perfect entry point for a male lead in a romance drama. That's why Guangchang never mentioned anything about Shan Yaoning's parents to her, because he didn't want to bring up the topic.

This positive impression might be related to these books, or it might not. Guangchang also knows that sometimes emotions come unexpectedly.

Guangchang gazed out the window. He had always scoffed at the idea of ​​college romance. In a campus where romance was everything, most people were just driven by emotion, leading to simple beginnings and painful endings. To reiterate! He never disliked truly good relationships; in fact, he thought they were precious. It was precisely because they were precious that he felt they were rare.

He now also possesses the hardcore data-driven ability to detect favorability scores. Everything, good or bad, will be laid bare in his eyes. Qianwen has known him the longest, and her favorability score is now close to 60 points. He is fully aware of her feelings. As they spend more time together, until one day, when they really reach the final 60 points, her feelings will change from favorability to love. At that point, according to the theory of data first, will he be able to admit that this is true love?

His continued relationship with Qianwen was already a special case, but then suddenly Shan Yaoning appeared. In a world where love is mostly fake, are these the kinds of people who genuinely yearn for love that have sprouted up...?

what……

Guang Guangchen's mood was somewhat affected by this. He had been in a bad state for two or three days in a row. After another get out of class, looking at the young couples chatting and laughing in the classroom, which smelled of love, Guang Guangchen finally decided to go out for some fresh air. After leaving the classroom, he turned right and walked straight down the corridor. As he walked, he saw the heartwarming figure in the distance.

Not only was it heartwarming, but standing next to her was Ms. Yang, the teacher of the main subject, chemistry, and Ms. Chen was helping her carry the equipment she would need for the next class.

"That's heartwarming. You've been paying close attention in class lately, and you've been getting all your workbook exercises right. I never believed in the concept of 'getting a breakthrough' before, but now I truly do. I'm sure you'll get a great score on the next monthly exam."

"Hehe~ Is that so? Thank you, teacher."

"Class representative Zhao is currently sick and on leave, which is so heartwarming. How about I fill in as the chemistry class representative for a while?"

"Me? The chemistry class representative? Really?!" Chen Nuanxin exclaimed in surprise.

"Of course it's true. Your teachers have seen how hard you study. You used to be a bit mischievous, but now you've suddenly come to your senses, and your teachers are pleased. For a high school student, the most important thing is still studying."

Suddenly, a thunderclap resounded in Guangchang's mind!

For a high school student, the most important thing is still studying...

In an instant, Guang Chen felt as if his soul had been cleansed! When he came to his senses, he realized that he had deliberately avoided Chen Nuanxin and Teacher Yang who were walking towards him. He felt so timid that he was like a mouse living in the shadows!

Guangchang Chen opened his eyes wide and incredulously examined himself again.

She was actually troubled by matters of the heart! Meanwhile, her little brother, Chen Nuanxin, had made progress once again without her knowledge! And Mr. Yang, the chemistry teacher who used to hate her the most for being such a mischievous student! Now he was smiling at her with such warmth and friendliness! He even wanted to make her the class representative for chemistry!

"Aaaaaah!" Guangchang couldn't take it anymore. He turned and ran to the restroom. Inside, facing his own slightly haggard face in the mirror above the sink—due to lack of rest—was this really him...?

I was actually hurt by love!

When did I become like this! How am I any different from those guys running in the rain on a rainy day!

Forget about real or fake love! For high school students, studying is the most important thing! Damn it!

At this moment, Guangchang's heart, which had been as weak as a candle, gradually ignited into a raging fire. The sleeping lion was about to awaken!

He doesn't dislike real romance, but studying should be his top priority! And! Just how much has Nuanxin grown up now?! Guangchang Chen is starting to have trouble figuring her out. Nuanxin has seriously surpassed him in the grade rankings—he doesn't want this to happen!

Guangchang held onto the sides of the sink with both hands, head down. After a long while, when he raised his head again, all the worries in his eyes suddenly vanished, replaced by an extremely determined look.

He, Guangchang Chen, a thoroughgoing college student and warrior, has officially returned to the battlefield.

He no longer cared about the rights and wrongs of the past. All he wanted to do next was to let Nuanxin, who was trying to surpass him, experience the helplessness of pursuing something to no avail!

Guangchang left the restroom and returned to the classroom. As soon as he entered through the back door, he saw Chen Nuanxin standing on the right side of the classroom with her arms crossed and her back against the wall. When she saw him come in, she smiled slightly and said, "Heh~ It seems that you've regained your fighting spirit, boss."

"Hmph~ Isn't this heartwarming, my loyal little brother?"

“Hmm, my little brother is not bad, but you should also know, boss, what everyone likes to see most is a ruthless underdog overthrowing his superiors!” Chen Nuanxin’s eyes widened as she stared directly into Guang Changchen’s eyes.

Just as tensions were about to rise, Guang Chen delivered a karate chop to her forehead, calmly saying, "You have no manners."

Chen Nuanxin felt no pain at all, and her body swayed like a roly-poly toy. Her usual silly smile reappeared on her face as she cheerfully said, "Is that so? I've wanted to say this line for a long time. Anyway... welcome back, boss."

"Hmm, you're finally back, Nuanxin." Guangchang smiled faintly, raised his hand and rubbed Nuanxin's head again. The two looked at each other again and smiled with narrowed eyes.

……

Guang Guangchen has been resurrected, completely resurrected! All topics related to love will be swept out of his mind. Indeed, this is a potent poison! During the three days of his dazed state, Guang Guangchen missed a lot of classes, so in order to catch up, he asked Qianwen and Jiang Xintong to tutor him.

Nuanxin was also there when she was with Qianwen; it was the three of them studying together. But when she was with Jiang Xintong, it was an extra occasion.

Hehehehe, I'm going to secretly beat everyone else! So heartwarming! You just wait!

Jiang Xintong was completely baffled by Guangchang Chen's sudden burst of energy after just three days apart. His eagerness to learn was even stronger than her own had been recently! What had triggered this within him?

Jiang Xintong didn't object to the widespread demand for extended study time. After all, Yan Xingmeng was currently pretending to be dead and hadn't shown up, which would have been boring for her. Having a study partner would have been nice.

People in your own group should have some ability; they can't not even be in the top 100, right?

Well, these guys who haven't even made it into the top 100, I don't know what they're all about all day. Even when Jiang Xintong wasn't working that hard, she could still get into the top 50 in monthly exams. The poor are the poor, their learning abilities are so average.

Jiang Xintong silently complained inwardly, but looking at Guang Shanchen, who was intently studying with a serious expression, she didn't dislike him. Just not dislike! Don't misunderstand! Before she transferred schools, so many students approached her, all to pursue her, which annoyed her to no end. She resorted to insults, calling them poor, to directly highlight the difference in their social standing. But Guang Shanchen was different. He never treated her like a rich girl. Was he arrogant? Or just not very bright?

"Miss, could you explain this problem to me again?" Guang Chen suddenly spoke up, which startled Jiang Xintong. She quickly recovered and agreed, leaning closer to provide guidance. During the process, her phone vibrated in her pocket. She took out her phone, opened it, and saw a WeChat message from Shan Yimo.

"The president will attend the second special class this afternoon."

Huh? Jiang Xintong was completely dumbfounded.

Yan Xingmeng... has appeared again?

Guangchang Chen just returned, and Yan Xingmeng came back with him?

Jiang Xintong stared blankly at Guang Chan, then looked down at her phone. "Wait... you two planned this to mess with me, didn't you!"

72. Don't mention him!

……

"Are you kidding me? Either we disappear together or we reappear together, but I'm all alone!" Jiang Xintong muttered to herself in frustration. She continued on her way to the special class of social dance, which was the second class of the afternoon. Ordinary students need to obtain three credits for special courses before graduation, but Yan Xingmeng was different. She had already finished all of them in the first half of her first year of high school, so from the second half of the year, she had been taking various other special courses. Now, in her second year of high school, she had mastered almost all of the special courses.

However, if you, Yan Xingmeng, can complete all the special courses, why can't I, Jiang Xintong, do the same!

Jiang Xintong is also a genius among geniuses; otherwise, how could they be considered competitors?

She was simply too busy to do anything else. She had originally planned to tutor Guang Chen today to help him improve his grades, but Yan Xingmeng's appearance completely disrupted her plans. To be honest, her head was already feeling a bit swollen from studying, and it would be obvious that she would be at a disadvantage if she tried to compete with Yan Xingmeng in any special course.

But she will not back down!

I'm going too!

If she were to show weakness at this point, she wouldn't be Jiang Xintong. And despite her nagging, besides her annoyance, she also felt a faint sense of joy. See, that's how complex a girl's psychology is—she experienced a mix of anger and delight. Yan Xingmeng contacted her as soon as she finished her work to schedule a special lesson, clearly indicating that she already considered her a competitor! This showed that in Yan Xingmeng's eyes, she had already created a sense of pressure for her!

Jiang Xintong explained it this way: when she arrived at the classroom of the advanced ballroom dance class at the school, there were only about ten students. There weren't many students scheduled for this class today. Jiang Xintong noticed Yan Xingmeng, who was resting and chatting on the left side of the classroom. In front of her, Shan Yimo was standing and listening.

Yan Xingmeng! And her personal follower!

Jiang Xintong defined the two of them in this way.

She tilted her head slightly, revealing her arrogant aura. As soon as she entered the dance studio, pairs of eyes turned to look at her. The status of the eldest daughter of the Jiang family was unapproachable in the entire school.

Given the wealth of the three core members, the students didn't even have the right to greet them. However, after the concept of F6 members was established, it vaguely added a sense of campus idols. As a result, many students were more willing to openly express their personal opinions. Occasionally, some of the activities they organized would be snapped up in seconds. After these activities, the sense of unfamiliarity and fear gradually disappeared, which led to F6's current high popularity.

Jiang Xintong, however, is completely different. She doesn't seem easy to get along with at first glance. In addition, the last time she publicly recruited people in the square, no one was hired. She kept calling people poor. Although this touched the hearts of some students, most students were still afraid of her. Their feelings towards her were incomparable to those of the F6.

"Xintong! You're here!" Upon seeing Xintong arrive, Yan Xingmeng, who had been sitting, immediately stopped talking, stood up, and quickly walked over to her to greet her.

Yes, that's right. Every time the two of them met after coming to school, it was always Yan Xingmeng who took the initiative to talk to them enthusiastically. No... or rather, even earlier, in their relationship, it was always Yan Xingmeng who took the initiative.

"Hmph! Of course I'm here. Although studying is a little tiring, I'm more than capable of defeating you." Jiang Xintong turned her head away and said in an unfriendly tone. The students around her changed their expressions after hearing this, but they obviously didn't understand the arrogant personality, which was perfectly normal.

"Really? So you do care about me quite a bit." Yan Xingmeng's words hit the nail on the head, and Jiang Xintong froze for a moment, but continued to pretend to be disdainful.

"You've been studying all along, so you want to beat me in the next monthly exam?"

"It's perfectly normal for me to beat you. I'll beat you in all the special courses too. I won't lose to someone who only studies sporadically!"

"You!" Shan Yimo, who was behind, couldn't stand it anymore and was about to speak when Yan Xingmeng stopped her. Yan Xingmeng, on the other hand, remained cheerful and smiled with her eyes narrowed. "In this respect, I am indeed not as good as you. You have always been very talented in focusing since you were a child. You can persist in doing one thing for ten or more hours a day without feeling tired."

"Hmph! I could have been more focused! If it weren't for the time I had to tutor Guang Chen... but it's not a big deal, beating you is enough." Jiang Xintong felt a little smug after being praised, then glanced down at Yan Xingmeng, thinking she was probably still the same...

Eh?

The moment Jiang Xintong's eyes met Yan Xingmeng's, her gaze flickered. Yan Xingmeng, who had been greeting her with a smile, suddenly stopped smiling and became incredibly calm. This calmness made Jiang Xintong's heart pound!

Guangchang Chen...

Dan Shimo, standing behind, widened her eyes. For the current president, this was practically a taboo name!

One was bewildered, the other calm; the escalating tension between them immediately caused the other students in the advanced class to keep their distance.

Jiang Xintong felt a sense of emptiness in her heart for some reason. Seeing that Yan Xingmeng did not reply, she spoke again and asked, "By the way, where are the sparring partners for the advanced class? I haven't seen a single one."

"Jiang Xintong, wasn't today's class notice already posted in the group?" Shan Yimo said. She was referring to the notice about the lack of practice partners in this advanced class, which meant that students needed to bring their own partners, explaining why there were so few people in this advanced class.

"What?" Jiang Xintong frowned in annoyance.

"It's nothing," Yan Xingmeng said, then turned and walked towards the teachers of the advanced class in the distance. When she arrived in front of the female teacher who taught the advanced class, the teacher herself was also puzzled.

"Teacher Qin, could you help Jiang Xintong with her practice for this lesson?" Yan Xingmeng tilted her head slightly, but her smile carried an air that was hard to refuse. Teacher Qin readily agreed and clapped her hands with a smile, letting the other students practice on their own first.

Jiang Xintong, well, it doesn't matter. It's even better if the teacher becomes a sparring partner.

Yan Xingmeng, let's have a showdown!

……

Fiasco.

A completely unexpected and devastating defeat.

Before she knew it, Jiang Xintong was in the empty classroom where her group was located. She was slumped over her seat, recalling the crushing defeat she had suffered that afternoon. She suddenly realized that she and Yan Xingmeng were definitely not on the same level in social dancing! No! They were not even in the same dimension!

Even having a teacher as her practice partner was to no avail! Yan Xingmeng's strength gave Jiang Xintong a strong sense of defeat. In the dance studio, Yan Xingmeng not only displayed formidable skills, but Jiang Xintong also faintly felt an overwhelming aura emanating from her.

She was always the one who could suppress others, but this time, looking at Yan Xingmeng, she felt a sense of powerlessness that she couldn't fight back!

Today's Yan Xingmeng is absolutely different!

Jiang Xintong felt very sad after another defeat. Failure is not terrible, what is terrible is losing courage. Has Yan Xingmeng been making her lose courage all along?

Jiang Xintong buried her head deeply, her aggrieved feelings almost bringing her to tears—or rather, her eyes were already red. When you're alone, all pretense is meaningless.
