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

Not being in a relationship doesn't mean you don't care about your personal image. If you're wearing such an expensive scarf, you should at least make it look presentable.

"Okay." Jiang Xintong quickly tied Chen Nuanxin's scarf. The scarf didn't feel too tight, and if it was windy outside, she could bury half her face in it. It was quite practical.

"Boss."

Chen Nuanxin turned around, struck a peculiar pose, lowered her head, and said, "Ninja!"

"Wow, it does look quite similar."

“Boss, why don’t you ask the boss to help you surround it too, hmm? Boss.” Chen Nuanxin turned to look at Jiang Xintong.

Jiang Xintong let out a soft "ah," hesitated for a moment, then thought it made sense. After all, she had only demonstrated it once, and it was inevitable that she would forget. Jiang Xintong glanced at him and said softly, "Okay, let's demonstrate it one last time."

Chen Nuanxin nodded repeatedly, then pulled the eldest brother closer to Jiang Xintong. Jiang Xintong's expression seemed a little strange, with her brows slightly furrowed. There shouldn't be anything that upset her, right?

Jiang Xintong raised her hands and demonstrated how to tie a scarf for Guangchang Chen again. She didn't say a word the whole time, but Guangchang Chen and Jiang Xintong stared intently at the new way of tying it. They had to remember it all, otherwise they would be embarrassed to come to school looking ugly tomorrow. They knew that dressing up was just like drinking a beverage; the first time and the first sip were the most important.

Afterwards, Guang Chen and Chen Nuanxin were still a little confused, so they sat down to the side and tried to recall the wiring method. Their back-and-forth banter annoyed Jiang Xintong, disturbing her studies, so she kicked the two of them out of the classroom.

The temperature difference between inside and outside was huge. When the cold wind blew, Guangchang Chen and Chen Nuanxin shivered together and immediately ran back to their classroom.

……

"Hey! Wait, let's talk this out. Aren't we friends?" Sun Weizecheng backed away little by little until his back was against the railing behind him. Looking at Guang Chen and Chen Nuanxin, who were slowly approaching like zombies with their hands raised, he showed a rare look of panic.

Guangchang grabbed his arm with one hand and leaned closer, saying, "Old Sun, haven't you been getting a little too cocky lately? You've been doing a lot of things that are going too far."

Sun Weizecheng's recent actions have gone a bit too far. Not only did he arrange for Yan Xingmeng to attend the intermediate ballroom dance class, but he also communicated with the lead dancer in advance about the course, and pushed Yan Xingmeng in without anyone's knowledge. Even if you're a member of the entertainment industry, doing this is really...

“He must be punished.” Chen Nuanxin also said leisurely. The two of them kept rubbing against Sun Weizecheng. Sun Weizecheng could only apologize repeatedly, but he was not particularly convinced!

Hey, you're still not convinced? Didn't you do all these things?

“I admit I wanted to see something different, but it’s wrong to say I was harming others without benefiting myself. Subjectively, I was still helping the president, and besides, it was she who agreed to come to the intermediate class,” Sun Weizecheng argued.

Guangchang saw through it at a glance and said, "Wasn't that your suggestion?"

"It's just my suggestion; if the president doesn't want to go, there's nothing I can do! I can make this suggestion because I can figure out what the president wants to do. I just gave her a push from behind. Hey! I'm not making this up!" Sun Weizecheng said loudly when he saw Guangchang Chen about to get involved again.

"You've become the president's parasite?"

"Haven't you heard the saying 'the bystander sees most of the game'?"

"Hmm..." Guangchang sighed softly. Thinking about it, it made sense. Yan Xingmeng probably thought that life at school was quite boring. Having a competitive rival with drive and ability would naturally make her unwilling to give up easily. It just so happened that Sun Weizecheng got a little benefit from this. Sure enough, he had not misjudged his initial evaluation of the student council members at all.

"Jiang Xintong was actually quite happy to meet the president. Don't be fooled by her always defiant and arrogant demeanor. In reality, she sees the president as both a competitor and her best friend. You should advise the president to be less harsh on her in the future. She just has a weak constitution. She even cried last time."

Guangchang can say this anytime, since the two of them don't really have any conflict. Once they've talked it out, everything will be fine.

He thought he would get Sun Weize's approval, but when he looked at him, he looked puzzled. Sun Weize was very confused and said, "What's there to say? Isn't this obvious? You understand it, so the president will definitely understand."

"It's nothing, I just mentioned it briefly."

"I don't understand. I feel like it's you who doesn't quite understand. Do you really think the president came to the intermediate class just because of Xintong?"

"Huh? Isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Weize slapped his forehead, feeling both amused and exasperated. He then realized where the information gap between the two had been. He straightened his back, raised his right hand, poked Guang Guangchen's shoulder with his index finger, and said, "How could you misunderstand like this? My guidance of the president to the intermediate class, and all the subsequent events, had little to do with Xintong. It was all because of you, Guang Guangchen!"

This scene was strangely familiar. Guangchang suddenly remembered that he had said the same thing to Yan Xingmeng in the botanical garden: "Of course, it's because of you!" Yan Xingmeng was stunned when he said that back then, and now Guangchang was just as bewildered.

"How could it be because of me?"

"Of course it's because I care about you. Otherwise, why would I keep calling you over? I heard you were Xintong's dance partner in the intermediate class, and the president said he would come without saying a word. Xintong is partly due to certain factors, but the main reason is because of you, Guangchang." Since Sun Weizecheng had already brought this up, he naturally spoke frankly. As Yan Xingmeng's good friend, he had a pretty good understanding of the personalities of the three of them over the past year. The president had never cared about a member of the opposite sex so much before, and Guangchang was that special person.

Does that sound familiar? That's what Shan Yimo said about him a long time ago. But unlike what Shan Yimo thought, Sun Weizecheng felt that it was special, so special that they could become people of extraordinary significance to each other.

Sun Weizecheng spoke with absolute certainty, but Guangchang Chen remained unmoved because he knew the truth. This time, his good friend had truly misjudged the situation. He remained silent for a moment, then raised his hand and gently patted the other's shoulder, saying, "Perhaps you've misunderstood. The president doesn't have those kinds of feelings for me. After all, you've never seen the president care about anyone this much, have you? Misjudging someone is perfectly normal."

Upon hearing this, Sun Weizecheng became somewhat anxious. He admitted that he was a bit of a show-off, but fundamentally he disliked any disruptive entertainment. Even though he had once broken up a pair of students who were only superficially close, claiming to be acting out of righteousness, he still found it incredibly foolish in retrospect. What he was doing now was different; he was doing what his friend wanted to do but dared not, simply waiting for an opportunity to arise.

But opportunities don't come often, and Sun Weizecheng is willing to create such opportunities. Mention Guang Guangchen and the president will get excited. The president, who may be very resourceful, may have known for a long time that Guang Guangchen and Xintong were taking classes together, but she just doesn't bring it up. Instead, she waits for a suitable opportunity. Sun Weizecheng is willing to be that kind of person.

But now Guang Chen is still saying that he misjudged, so Sun Weizecheng is naturally a little angry. He no longer hides anything and directly explains: "It can't be wrong. Let me just say one thing. Why do you think Xin Tong came to this school? She didn't come here by herself. The president asked me to invite her. Part of her purpose may indeed be because school is too boring and she needs a competitor, but more importantly, the president needs her to help break the deadlock."

"...What stalemate?"

"Break the deadlock between you and the chairman."

79. What does this mean?

Guang Guangchen fell silent for a moment. If he were to talk about the period before Jiang Xintong came... his memories gradually surfaced until he recalled that relieved sentence on the playground. At that time, Guang Guangchen really thought that the two of them would never have any contact again. So, in fact, Yan Xingmeng was already thinking about this at that time.

Sun Weizecheng kept looking at him with a hint of expectation in his eyes, and said, "I did say some bad things about the president before, but there was some anger in it. It's true that she cares about you and wants to reconcile with you, which is why all of this happened, and that's why you met again, isn't it?"

"Is the president so sure that Jiang Xintong will approach me?"

"Um... cough, then naturally someone still needs to guide her." Sun Weizecheng was referring to himself. A true competitor would certainly not let go of such an opportunity. In addition, Jiang Xintong actually acknowledged Yan Xingmeng in her heart, she just acted like a child and made a fuss. Yan Xingmeng could completely accept this.

However, now that Guang Chen has not only joined Jiang Xintong's group, the two sides have maintained a good relationship, which surprised the three core members.

Guangchang squinted at Sun Weizecheng. It turned out that these two had done so much without his knowledge.

"Doesn't this show that the president cares about you? After you said such resolute things back then, under normal circumstances, the two of you shouldn't have met again." Sun Weizecheng spread his hands, looking slightly helpless.

"But given the chairman's temperament, it's possible for him to get his revenge."

These words nearly stunned Sun Weizecheng with anger. So after all that talk, the other person was still only talking about saving face? Just how much of a straight man was he?! No… or rather…

Sun Weizecheng only remembered that one time on the playground, and that was the only time. Yan Xingmeng didn't tell him or Yimo about it. After separating from Guang Guangchen, she locked herself in the botanical garden. Although she calmed down later, Sun Weizecheng guessed that the two of them must have had a very important conversation on the playground that day, and it was very likely that this conversation influenced Guang Guangchen's current judgment.

Sun Weizecheng was already quite clever enough to guess this, but he was still quite surprised that Guang Guangchen didn't seem to be saying this out of spite, but genuinely believed it without any doubt or hesitation. Anyone who heard this would have to think about it again, as Guang Guangchen didn't lean towards that direction at all.

"How could you think that..."

"Don't be angry, don't be angry. Didn't you support me back then and stand firmly against the president? You even told me that it would be too late when your true feelings were ruined. Old Sun, you should be able to understand how I felt, right?"

Sun Weizecheng could probably brush off the first part of what Guangchang said with words, but the second part was indeed what he had said before. When it came to his sincerity being trampled on, he naturally thought of Li Xin. After that, he took the initiative to delete her contact information. When she tried to contact him again through her family, he refused. And the one who taught him to take this step was none other than Guangchang in front of him...

Now it was Sun Weize's turn to be speechless. He had thought he could influence the other party, but he didn't expect to be shut down by the other party's own words.

"In short, the president is really more than that..."

This statement didn't sound convincing, but it was one that Guang Chen had genuinely taken to heart. However, when he thought back to the fact that he had just met the president a few days ago and that her favorability rating had remained unchanged at 39 points, he realized that perhaps the president was really hiding something. She had not only fooled him, but also the two students in the student council.

Chen Nuanxin, standing to the side, was completely at a loss when it came to this topic. She slowly raised her hands and said leisurely, "I can't offer any advice on this subject."

Perhaps even Chen Nuanxin found what the other person said to be very reasonable, but Guangchang Chen was still clueless.

"I'll think about it."

"Well, that's good then." Sun Weizecheng lost his playful and joking attitude, sighed softly, and then turned and left.

Only after he completely disappeared around the corner did Chen Nuanxin step forward, swaying slightly, and whisper, "The vice president seems to be saying something very serious. He really considers the president a good friend."

“Yes.” Guang Chen said, then patted Nuan Xin’s head, indicating that she should leave too. Chen Nuan Xin nodded, and the two of them left.

All signs did indicate that Yan Xingmeng cared about him in a special way, something Guang Chen had to admit, but his favorability rating was still only 39 points... Yan Xingmeng, what exactly do you mean by this...?

……

Chen Nuanxin and Shan Yaoning were both huddled together in front of a stewing casserole. Not only that, there was also a hot pot next to it. Everyone had gathered together for a team building activity that day. When they heard that Qianwen was going to cook, they all agreed at lightning speed. And on such a cold day, having a hot pot would be the best thing to do.

The two girls watched silently as the spicy Sichuan-style chili oil in the hot pot melted little by little, their mouths watering.

Guangchang Chen was only outside collecting clothes when a gust of cold wind made him shiver, and he quickly returned from the balcony.

"Guang Chen, come help me change the TV channel," Jiang Xintong, sitting on the living room sofa, instructed.

Yes, yes, money is everything. Guangchang Chen responded repeatedly and went over to change the channel. The living room connected to the dining room, and not only was the heater on, but the heat from the cooking in the kitchen also wafted over, instantly creating a New Year's atmosphere.

This is the kind of lifestyle that Guangchang prefers.

When Shan Yaoning came here, her older sister Shan Yimo knew about it and even asked her via WeChat. After getting permission, she was free to do as she pleased. Speaking of which, Shan Yimo really trusts her, allowing her younger sister to stay out so late at someone else's house. Sometimes Guang Chen wonders if Shan Yimo might dislike him because of the student council president's affairs. Well... that's part of it. Every time the student council president has something going on, her favorability towards him drops significantly, though it only goes up to about 20 points.

"Boss~ Can I take Yao Ning to play games with a controller?" Chen Nuanxin asked with a smile.

"As you wish."

"Oh!" Chen Nuanxin cheered, then pulled Shan Yaoning along. Shan Yaoning was still a little confused and said that she didn't know how to play games, but when she heard Chen Nuanxin say that there were horror games, she immediately nodded in agreement. It seems that Nuanxin knows Yaoning's hobbies very well.

Okay, so next is...

Guangchang walked to the kitchen, took down the apron hanging on the wall, put it back on, opened the glass door, and went into the kitchen to help Zhou Qianwen, who was busy cooking, as he had promised before.

Cooking isn't troublesome, but cutting and preparing ingredients is really troublesome, so Guangchang stepped in to help.

After fiddling around in the kitchen for a while, Zhou Qianwen poured a plate of stir-fried pumpkin shreds and eggs out of the pot. This dish was incredibly delicious with rice.

"Just stir-fry another plate of vegetables and it will be fine."

"..." Guang Guangchen pursed his lips and suppressed a laugh. This scene was also captured by Zhou Qianwen. When they were alone, Zhou Qianwen was not as dignified and reserved as usual. Instead, she was a little playful. Perhaps this was her true personality. It was just that she couldn't show it in front of Guang Guangchen in the past.

Zhou Qianwen puffed out her left cheek slightly and said, "What?"

"No, it just feels very familiar. In the past, when I invited guests to dinner at home, the guests kept saying they had enough, but the host would say there was one more dish. After that, is there a bowl of soup?" Guangchang was overjoyed.

"That's a nice idea. There's only one vegetable dish left. Any more would be a waste. I won't cook anything else."

"Yeah, I'm a little hungry too. It's good to eat sooner."

"Are you hungry? Why don't you have some fried chicken first? It's in the air fryer in the back."

"And fried chicken!"

"Yes... They secretly put it in when they were frying."

Heartwarming...

Guangchang already pictured Nuanxin with a sinister smile, secretly taking fried chicken nuggets out of the freezer and putting them into the air fryer.

"I'm really impressed by her."

In the living room, Jiang Xintong got bored with the TV series she was watching. These kinds of shows, where the male lead roars and the female lead shouts along with him, were really boring. So she decided to go back, but she accidentally pressed the wrong button and returned to the initial screen. She tried to call Guang Chen again, but there was no response. So she stood up, grabbed the remote control, and went to the kitchen.

Approaching the glass door, she saw Guang Guangchen chatting animatedly with Qianwen. The interesting thing was that both Guang Guangchen and Qianwen were smiling. Jiang Xintong paused for a moment, then stopped her movement as she was about to enter.

She's not that clueless about the atmosphere...

……

"I've come to pick someone up." Shan Yimo stood in front of the door, wearing a long white down jacket, her posture upright, carrying a small bag in her hand. With a gust of cold air rushing in after the door opened, anyone who didn't know better would think that Shan Yimo was about to unleash some powerful move.

"Please let us play a little longer, please." Chen Nuanxin felt like a child begging her parents to let her play a little longer during the Chinese New Year. If she begged a little more, she might be able to get the right to stay and sleep there.

Dan Yaoning's face was slightly flushed. Seeing Nuanxin's attitude, she nodded vigorously, steeled herself, turned to look at her sister, clenched her fist, and said, "That's right, that's right. It's a rare holiday, let us play a little longer."

"It's just a weekend..."

The two little ones followed closely with their big, watery eyes.

However, what they immediately encountered was Shan Yimo's cold, condescending gaze, which instantly chilled the two children to the bone. After all, her height of 1.77 meters was incredibly intimidating.

Seeing the two of them like this, Shan Yimo sighed and lowered her guard a bit, saying, "It'll have to wait a little longer."

"Yay!" Chen Nuanxin cheered, returning to the scene with Shan Yaoning, whose eyes were equally excited.

I have to say, the older sister is a bit too indulgent.

Guangchang put his hands on his hips, shook his head with a slightly helpless expression, and then said, "Then come in and sit down for a while."

"Guangdong Chen, come out and have a chat with me for a bit," Shan Yimo suddenly said, turning and walking deeper into the elevator lobby.

Um... trouble always seems to come in waves...

80. Serves you right for being so talkative!

Guangchang Chen was perfectly aware of Shan Yimo's intention in calling him out. Just think about it: Shan Yimo and Yan Xingmeng had such a good relationship, their apparent superior-subordinate dynamic was even stronger than his own relationship with Nuanxin. A couple of days ago, Sun Weizecheng had spoken to him about those things. They were friends, so their words were naturally polite. But Shan Yimo was different. This time, she called him out for a chat, and she was 100% on Yan Xingmeng's side.

Is this the kind of drama we're going to see? That ever-present theme of the super-rich bullying the poor as if it were their right...

what……

Guangchang let out a long breath, turned his head and looked through the gap in the wine cabinet at Jiang Xintong sitting on the sofa in the living room. "I need your help, Miss."

However, after noticing the gaze for a second, Jiang Xintong casually looked away and continued watching TV, showing no interest in his affairs.

Alright, alright, is that how it's supposed to be? Guang Chen really had no choice but to change into outdoor shoes, walk out the door, and there was a safety exit on the left side of the elevator shaft, with a staircase leading outwards.

Guangchang Chen turned the doorknob, and a gust of cold wind blew in through the crack in the door. It was so cold. The first thing he saw when he opened the door was Shan Yimo standing in front of the stair railing, waiting for him.

It was already nine o'clock, and the sky was completely dark, but the outside world was still brightly lit.

Guangchang Chen slowly walked to Shan Yimo's side. He was naturally prepared to be scolded by Shan Yimo, but he would definitely fight back. He and Shan Yimo weren't that close to begin with, and this kind of argument was like a melodramatic scene he had just seen in a movie. If he could, Guangchang Chen really didn't want to experience it...
