“I understand why you called me out, it must be because…” Guang Chen said, turning his head, but the first thing he saw was Shan Yimo, who was hugging herself and trembling.
Hey! Secretary Shan is freezing to death!
Do we really have to come out in the middle of winter to fit in with this atmosphere?
Guangchang Chen's carefully cultivated emotions were instantly shattered. He sighed and gestured for Shan Yimo to go inside first, but she refused. Oh wait... could it be...?
Guangchang suddenly realized the reason why Shan Yimo refused. She couldn't possibly think that standing in the cold wind in winter was a cool thing, could she? Hmm... It's like watching an idol drama. It's not the same when two people have a heart-to-heart talk in a warm room. They have to come outside to feel the wind, and then take a deep breath. The cold will be gone by the next day.
"I, I, I have something to say to you..." Shan Yimo said, her voice trembling.
That's not handsome at all, Secretary Shan.
Guangchang was helpless, so he turned around and went back. Half a minute later, he took two brand new blankets from home, put one on each of them, and after a little while, their body temperature gradually returned to normal.
Neither of them chose to face the wind; instead, they each stood behind two pillars on the left and right to block the wind.
Secretary Shan... he doesn't look handsome at all like this...
But who cares? Let's finish this quickly and leave. Anyway, it's definitely about the president's business. Guangchang Chen isn't someone who'll willingly take a beating. Hopefully, the other party will remember the favor of lending him the blanket earlier.
"The president, she..."
Yes, yes, it really is the president who spoke.
"The president has been acting strange lately. I want to ask you for a favor, could you..."
I understand to stay away from her.
"I'll go see her occasionally."
"Huh?" Guangchang was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Shan Yimo. She was leaning against a pillar with her head down. The night was still not bright enough, but Guangchang could still feel the dejection in her cold words.
"Shouldn't you be hoping I stay away from her?" Guangchang said bluntly. In the past, Shan Yimo had asked him to be friends with the president, but ever since he and the president parted ways on that playground, Shan Yimo hadn't mentioned it again. Rather than being friends, it was better for the two of them to stay far apart. But why is she doing this now...?
“That’s what I used to think, but after these past few weeks, seeing the president’s reaction to having you here, I feel for sure that it’s impossible, as long as you’re in this school…”
"Hey! What you said is a bit dangerous!" Guangchang quickly corrected him.
"Um, I'm sorry, my words were inappropriate. Even if you're not in this school, I believe it will be the same for you outside."
That sounds even more dangerous...
“I know you did nothing wrong. Sometimes I made some demands on you. I apologize to you here and hope you can consider what I said.”
Shan Yimo's words made Guang Guangchen feel somewhat elated. Not only did she not blame him for the president's bad mood, but she even apologized? Why? It shouldn't be like this. She cares so much about the president; if the president were to have a negative mood because of her, she…
Guangchang Chen was indeed not wrong, but it was a bit... when he said it coming from Shan Yimo's mouth.
His brain raced for a moment, then a cool breeze swept over him, making him shiver. Suddenly, a brand new idea popped into his head, and he was so surprised that his eyes widened.
Wait a moment……
He seems to have been misunderstanding one thing all along, which is the question of his personal positioning in Shan Yimo's mind.
He thought that the other party would definitely hate him because of the president's matter, but because of her adherence to the rules, Guang Chen had seen from the beginning that even if someone was disliked by the student council, as long as they did not break the rules in essence, they would not be punished accordingly. Han Junche and Cao Ruoyu were examples. So he never used his power within the school to make things difficult for himself. But now his thoughts had a completely new way out.
The feelings Shan Yimo harbors for herself are most likely not mostly feelings of dislike, but rather... feelings of guilt?
Because of what!
If we put ourselves in Shan Yimo's shoes, Sun Weizecheng had previously stated that he only knew that he had said some resolute words on the playground, but he didn't know the specifics. If Sun Weizecheng didn't know, then Shan Yimo probably didn't know either. Without this perspective, what is Shan Yimo's position in her eyes?
An ordinary student who has never expressed any affection for the student council president, but instead is relentlessly pursued by the president for various reasons, which has affected his personal life!
Although Shan Yimo seems cold, she is actually very upright. Although she gets angry sometimes because of the president, she doesn't really hold a grudge against him. In Shan Yimo's heart, he is just an unlucky and innocent passerby!
This is why she didn't argue with me, but instead apologized to me. How could two people who are both right or wrong possibly argue?
Thinking about it this way, why didn't she get angry when she saw herself with her sister Shan Yaoning, and why didn't she refuse her request to eat with her? Was it because she felt guilty towards herself?
Because I care about the president and see myself constantly getting dragged into things, I feel guilty...
Case solved!
Connecting all the events at once, Guangchang felt instantly refreshed.
So this is the imaginary enemy I've always had... I've really been incredibly stupid...
amount……
Guangchang Chen paused for a moment, then suddenly thought of something else.
What if Shan Yimo finds out what he said on the playground one day... Holy crap! No way, Guangchang Chen has regretted saying that more than once. He only wanted to say goodbye to his past feelings, but now it sounds like a thread that has hooked into Yan Xingmeng's heart. It was originally unrelated to him, but just that one sentence suddenly gave him the motivation to do some things afterward.
Guangchang was drenched in sweat...
If Shan Yimo were to find out about this, then they would truly be in deep trouble.
Guangchang! Serves you right for being so talkative! You should have just walked away quietly, why did you have to say that?!
Guangchang really wanted to slap himself twice.
“I know this is a difficult thing for you. Jiang Xintong can pay you your wages, and I can give you money too.” Seeing that Guang Shanchen hadn’t spoken for a long time, Shan Yimo thought he was struggling with his decision, so she stated her conditions.
"..."
Do you still want to give me money?
Guang Chen blushed. Before Shan Yimo could continue with her offer, he quickly interrupted her, saying, "But after all, I'm friends with the president. It's unreasonable for friends to ask each other for money when they meet. I'll agree to your offer."
"...Thank you." Shan Yimo remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, her heart filled with turmoil, and she may even have felt some gratitude towards Guang Guangchen.
No! Please don't do this!
After the conversation ended, Guang Guangchen returned dejectedly and invited Shan Yimo to sit down and have a cup of hot tea. After drinking the hot tea, Shan Yimo felt better. Guang Guangchen then called Chen Nuanxin and the other two out, as it was about time to go home.
"Then goodbye." Shan Yimo's voice remained calm as she waved to the group and left with Shan Yaoning. Shan Yaoning waved goodbye reluctantly and helped close the door behind her.
Guang Chen stood there like a block of wood, his lips pursed. After a while, he sighed and turned to leave. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Chen Nuanxin standing to the side, looking obviously sneaky. It was clear she had done something wrong.
"Tell me, what bad thing did you do? I won't be angry." Guangchang was in a very low mood at this moment.
Chen Nuanxin sniffed and said slowly, "Well, I just accidentally overwrote your game save file..."
"what!"
"You promised you wouldn't get angry!"
……
Meanwhile, Shan Yimo and Shan Yaoning were taking the elevator downstairs. Compared to Shan Yimo, Shan Yaoning was undoubtedly in a super good mood, humming a song and holding a hot water bottle she'd received from Nuanxin. It was warm and cozy. Although the walk to the door wasn't far, it was still quite thoughtful! And... her brother's room...
Dan Yao Ning's gaze was slightly lost. She held her sister's arm until the elevator arrived, at which point she came to her senses and stepped out, burying her head in her scarf, though her face was already flushed.
81. This feeling is genuine!
Outside the residential compound, a shuttle bus was already waiting. The two sisters quickened their pace and got into the car one after the other. Only after feeling the warmth inside did they breathe a sigh of relief. And winter had only just begun…
Looking at her sister's hands, which were red from the cold, Shan Yaoning handed her the hot water bottle to her. Shan Yimo, who had just noticed, asked curiously, "Where did this hot water bottle come from?"
"It was brought by my brother's family; they kindly asked me to bring it."
"Okay... then give it to me, I'll return it to him tomorrow." Shan Yimo held the hot water bottle in her hands, the temperature was just right. She had been standing in the cold wind for so long, and although she was wrapped in a blanket, her limbs were already frozen. After holding it for a while, Shan Yimo also pulled her sister's hands over and they held each other's hands.
Shan Yaoning chuckled sweetly. Shan Yimo stared at her intently. Ever since their parents passed away early, the two of them had been raised by their grandparents. Shan Yimo was already old enough to remember things back then, and there was a period when she had some minor conflicts with her younger sister... but they were all resolved later.
In her eyes, taking good care of Yao Ning is the most important thing.
"You stayed a bit too long today, don't do that next time."
"Hehe... I got so caught up in the fun that I forgot all about it." Shan Yaoning scratched the back of her head and chuckled.
At this moment, Shan Yimo also raised her hand, patted her younger sister's head, and continued, "Just be mindful of your behavior."
"Um……"
Dan Yaoning looked up at her sister. Surprisingly, her sister didn't seem to care about blaming her at all. In the past, she would have given her a lecture that could have lasted for ten or twenty minutes. Her sister, who was quiet in other people's eyes, was a complete nag in Dan Yaoning's eyes.
As expected... asking my brother to step in was the right choice!
Thinking of this, Shan Yaoning shifted her body and moved closer to her sister, asking cautiously, "Sister, I just heard you call brother out. You didn't say anything about him, did you?"
"No, do I look like someone who would drag people out and criticize them?" Shan Yimo turned her head.
Dan Yaoning really wanted to nod, but under pressure from her sister's fierce presence, she could only manage a silly smile in agreement.
Shan Yimo understood her sister's thoughts and felt somewhat helpless. She continued, "Don't worry, I didn't mean to criticize him. He didn't do anything wrong. I just wanted to ask him for a favor."
"Really?"
"Hmm..." Shan Yimo saw that her younger sister was truly relieved this time, and she could tell that her sister cared about Guang Guangchen. Had she not yet gotten rid of her fantasies about the characters in the book? Or was she secretly keeping some more at home?
"Don't call him 'brother' anymore. You're taking it a little too seriously," Shan Yimo said, trying to educate him.
Upon hearing this, Shan Yaoning's heightened emotions clearly subsided, her body relaxed, and she turned to look at her sister, but did not immediately respond.
This is quite unlike Yao Ning's style. Shouldn't she be acting cute or straightforward at a time like this? That's more like her. Shan Yimo looked over and asked, "What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?"
Shan Yaoning pouted, remained silent for a while, and finally whispered, "Sister, won't you let me spend more time with brother?"
"Of course, you've developed some unfounded fantasies about Guangchang because of the content in those romance books. These are all fake..." As she spoke, Shan Yimo's gaze fell on her sister's face and she clearly saw her sister's cheeks gradually puffing up. She turned her head to one side with great dissatisfaction.
"Being cute won't work either," Shan Yimo said, raising her right index finger and spinning it upwards.
"But I don't think this feeling is fake."
"?"
Shan Yao Ning turned her head back, her expression unusually serious, staring straight into her sister's eyes, which made Shan Yi Mo a little stunned.
“I don’t think this feeling is just a figment of my imagination, sister,” Shan Yaoning said frankly.
"What are you feeling... You've just been reading too many romance novels lately, so you're projecting yourself into it. Listen carefully, the brother in the book has absolutely nothing to do with Guangchang Chen."
"I know! I've always known! The brother in the book is omnipotent. He can always appear in front of the female lead the moment she has a problem and solve it for her. Everyone in the school likes him. He is the focus of everyone's attention. But Guangchang is different. He is not as outstanding in many ways. So I can distinguish between the two!"
"Since you're not good enough, why even mention your feelings..."
"Does being an outstanding brother mean I can't be a brother?" Shan Yaoning said bluntly, as if she had stepped into her area of expertise, and her indomitable spirit suddenly came through.
"..." Shan Mo couldn't answer this question. Her only close male friend was Sun Weizecheng, but he was a year younger than her, so he was at most a younger brother.
"He's not good at everything, so I don't lump them together. I don't understand what people usually call good qualities. I only know that I'm happy when I'm with my brother and the others, which is completely different from the group of people my grandparents took us to dances with!"
As Shan Yaoning spoke, she even leaned her face closer. Shan Yimo raised her left hand and pressed her slightly raised body back down. In Shan Yimo's mind, she already had an opinion of Guang Guangchen... Some memories flashed by. At this moment, she remembered the scene from more than half an hour ago when Guang Guangchen secretly took a blanket from the security door for her. It was a little funny.
"Really..." Shan Yimo glanced at her younger sister out of the corner of her eye and casually asked, "So, do you like Guangchang Chen?"
Upon hearing this, not only did Shan Yaoning exclaim in surprise, but even the driver shuddered.
My sister was indeed very direct in her question.
Dan Yaoning pondered carefully, but ultimately shook her head. Her judgment about love came from books, where the male and female protagonists always confessed their love after one of them suffered a great hardship. These hardships included, but were not limited to, a sudden fiancé, company bankruptcy, car accidents, natural disasters, and so on. The more exaggerated the plot, the more attractive it was to read. Originally, Dan Yaoning was quite looking forward to this kind of content, but after hearing her brother and Nuanxin complain about it so much during dinner, she gradually felt that this kind of plot was a bit old-fashioned.
"So you just don't like it?"
"No, I don't know, but this feeling is definitely not fake! And it's not an illusion like my sister said!"
With a strong tone, Shan Yaoning was very stubborn. She was prepared to receive a severe scolding from her sister, but once she had spoken, she would never go back on her word. She remembered when she was little, she would throw a tantrum at her grandparents, and even though her bottom was red from being spanked, she would grit her teeth and endure it. That's how stubborn she was! She was completely convinced of her own principles!
“Ha…” Shan Yimo took a deep breath, sighed deeply, and said calmly, “Then let’s leave it at that.”
That's it? Shan Yaoning's eyes widened in shock that her sister could accept her statement. In the past, even reading a romance novel would have required a full house search, and contact with someone of the opposite sex would have been out of the question. But Guangchang Chen could accept it? Just how tolerant was her sister of Guangchang Chen?
Dan Yaoning's eyes gleamed with curiosity as she grew increasingly curious about what had happened between her older sister and brother to make them accept her expressing affection for the opposite sex.
Faced with Yao Ning's extremely curious gaze, Shan Yimo didn't want to explain anything. She could only sigh that her younger sister had grown up. On one hand, she couldn't go against her sister's wishes and respected her sister's ideas. As expected, Lu Xun was right: if they disagreed with opening the window, they would simply tear down the ceiling, and then everyone would stop talking. On the other hand, it was also because Shan Yimo trusted Guang Chen personally.
My dear sister, you have absolutely no idea what kind of person Guangchang is...
If her younger sister hangs out with Guangchang Chen, at least Shan Yimo feels at ease. After all, they only see each other once every week or two, and Chen Nuanxin and her group are there too, so what does it matter?
Besides, how could her younger sister understand what liking someone is at her age? They might lose contact again after a while, so Shan Yimo wasn't worried about it at all.
……
During school hours, early in the morning, students arrived at school one after another in their own luxury cars. Guang Guangchen was used to this, but the wealthy students would subconsciously stop and take a second look at him the moment they saw him. During this period, his reputation was quite explosive. Not only was he Jiang Xintong's dance partner, but what people envied most was that he actually danced with the student council president! It was really too enviable!
Guangchang shrank back, the two scarves hanging down in front of his collar. Hmm! He had forgotten how to tie them again! Either he should wrap them up like a dumpling, or he should just leave them as a long strip. It's a pity that he didn't manage to tie such expensive scarves properly.
He hadn't walked two steps when he saw her heartwarming figure in the distance and called out to her.
Chen Nuanxin turned around, and the long scarf at her neckline was also hanging down on both sides. The two looked at each other and both rubbed their noses, looking a little uncomfortable.
Everything is understood without words.
