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

Can not accept.

Jiang Xintong gritted her teeth, looking as if she was about to pounce on Yan Xingmeng at any moment. Her cheeks gradually turned red with anger. She couldn't accept such a swift defeat. She had been hoping to have a slightly more thrilling match with some people later on, but now Yan Xingmeng had torn her away at this crucial moment...

"Why now!"

"Hmm? Hasn't the competition already started? I could have come to find you as soon as the competition started. If you had been more careful, I don't believe I would have ambushed you, right? This time, Xintong, you lost because of your arrogance." Yan Xingmeng lectured Jiang Xintong with a smile. Jiang Xintong couldn't refute anything because the other party hadn't cheated; it was all because she was too confident.

Jiang Xintong had a gloomy face. Although she was very angry, she had no choice but to accept what had happened. After glaring at Yan Xingmeng, she completely ignored her.

Yan Xingmeng had to step forward to coax her, saying with a smile, "Don't be angry with me, Xintong. I had no choice. Someone as capable as you is too much of a spoiler for this event. I'm afraid I'm the only one who can ban you. And as long as you want, the core member position of F6 will always be reserved for you."

"I don't care!" Jiang Xintong was completely unmoved, and then her resentment surged up again. Yan Xingmeng really couldn't do anything about it, so she sighed and pointed to the steps leading up to the second floor of the cafeteria, saying, "Well then, since we're already eliminated, if you're not satisfied, we can have a fair competition. If you tear me apart, then I'll consider it a loss. If I still win, then you'll have to accept your defeat completely."

Jiang Xintong remained silent for a moment, then nodded heavily. Actually, she didn't care much about the ranking; the main thing was her competitive relationship with Yan Xingmeng. Now, facing the other party's invitation, Jiang Xintong naturally had no reason to refuse. She absolutely could not lose a one-on-one name tag ripping battle!

Jiang Xintong was full of fighting spirit and stubborn like a child. Yan Xingmeng shook her head slightly in helplessness, and then helped Jiang Xintong put the name tag back on. Elimination was inevitable, it was the rule, and Yan Xingmeng herself would abide by it 100%. Now it could only be considered an outsider's battle.

The two girls then walked together up the steps to the second floor of the cafeteria, opened the door, locked it, and the one-on-one showdown officially began.

……

If it's already an hour later, and the broadcasting station has just finished announcing the progress of the shrinking circle, those students who were planning to travel a long way to the horse farm have definitely miscalculated. The shrinking circle is always moving towards the teaching building, and it's estimated that it will eventually reach a relatively open area, forcing both sides to engage in a name tag ripping game.

Guangchang and Chen Nuanxin wandered around for a long time during this period, witnessing too many "tragic" love stories. Who was torn apart, who went to take revenge, and in the end, the couple returned home together. Guangchang estimated that the infirmary would be more crowded than ever before today.

During this time, Guang Chen and his companion were completely unable to contact Jiang Xintong. There was no response to WeChat messages or voice calls. The two of them were guessing that Miss Jiang was having too much fun somewhere and hadn't even checked her phone. They still couldn't believe that someone had torn it up beforehand. Who would have the guts to tear up Jiang Xintong's phone? How would they be able to get along at school in the future?

Unable to find any trace of Jiang Xintong, the two decided to split up and contact each other via WeChat if they found her.

Before leaving, the two visited a website on their phones that updated in real time the number of students remaining. An hour ago, there were nearly a thousand students, but now the number has been drastically reduced by half, leaving only a little over four hundred. This shows just how dire the situation was.

After the initial narrowing of the circle, Guangchang Chen became more cautious in his actions. After a round of selection, the next group of people were more determined to tear people apart, and... just thinking about it, there were probably some guys who could still have a bit of a role to play...

Guangchang thought of Han Junche, who had risen to prominence and fallen just a few days ago. He believed that Han Junche must hate him to the core. If he had such an opportunity to meet him, he would definitely tear him apart. The popularity that Han Junche had cultivated on campus by enduring humiliation and pretending to be a good person was actually still somewhat powerful.

Such guys either perish at the very beginning or manage to hide and survive until the very end.

The central teaching buildings one through three were clearly in a bit of a danger. Guang Chen sent a message to Nuan Xin and then went to the gymnasium on the edge of the shrinking circle for a short while.

Guangchang felt his way along the wall little by little. His expected value was around the top fifty. There were still many students in the school whose families had quite a lot of business. With the support of their friends, this number was about a reasonable position.

There was a corner ahead, and Guang Guangchen was about to turn when he bumped into someone. The person was clearly startled, and Guang Guangchen looked closely and realized it was Cao Ruoyu.

When Cao Ruoyu ran into the girl again, she was quite surprised to see Guang Fanchen. She covered her mouth in astonishment, and after a couple of seconds of stunned silence, she slowly recovered and said, "Fanchen, it's been a while..."

"Yeah, you participated too? Could it be..." Guangchang subconsciously wanted to ask her if she still wanted to return to the student council, but then he thought that Cao Ruoyu had no chance of winning, so the question seemed silly, and he swallowed it.

"Don't misunderstand, I know I definitely can't win. I'm just here to have some fun and relax with my friends. I noticed your ranking rose again in the last monthly exam. Congratulations." Cao Ruoyu said this with a hint of expectation in her eyes, because in fact, Cao Ruoyu's ranking in the last monthly exam had already risen to third place, while Zhou Qianwen was still in first place.

The truth is that Guang Chen did notice, and he didn't intend to hide it. He hummed in agreement and said frankly, "Thank you. I've also seen your progress. You're a strong competitor who can threaten Qianwen's position as the top student in the grade again."

Hearing Guang Chen say this, Cao Ruoyu was speechless. She lowered her head and nodded repeatedly. The two had no contact at all, but the occasional encounters still made Cao Ruoyu very happy. However, the lack of topics to talk about made Cao Ruoyu feel distressed.

"Fan Chen, I..."

Just as Cao Ruoyu was about to say something, a crisp tearing sound was heard. Cao Ruoyu swayed slightly backward as her name tag was torn off from behind.

A head popped out; it was Chen Nuanxin. She looked at the two bewildered people and said, "What are you two talking about?"

Holy crap! They skipped my entire conversation!

Guangchang Chenzhen was both amused and exasperated. It felt like someone had skipped the opening animation of a game with a single click, and he didn't know what to do next.

Chen Nuanxin had no good impression of Cao Ruoyu, and Cao Ruoyu was well aware of this. She pursed her lips, not continuing what she was about to say, then smiled slightly and said, "Then I'm eliminated. Fanchen, I hope you can win..."

After saying that, she turned and left. This time, she left on her own initiative. Guang Chen and the other man watched her departing figure and could still sense that she was slightly different from before. However, with such a strong competitor, Qianwen probably wouldn't dare to slack off for the next year or so of high school.

"So, have you found the young lady yet?"

"No, I didn't see any anywhere. Maybe they were tired and resting somewhere?" Chen Nuanxin shook her head and said.

She doesn't reply to WeChat messages either; I don't know what she's thinking.

The two nodded solemnly, confirming the number of people again. The number had dropped to three hundred. The two sat on the steps and waited for the second shrinking of the circle. After the number dropped to one hundred and fifty, they moved to another location.

The two looked down at Jiang Xintong's WeChat messages, which showed no response whatsoever, both with blank expressions. A strange idea vaguely surfaced in their minds.

Um...

The two looked at each other.

Then the two of them went to WeChat to find a list of students in the same class as Jiang Xintong. The eliminated students often went straight back to the classroom and could see the live broadcast of the surveillance footage on the TV in the classroom. That's what you call professional.

During the search, the two were so focused on searching that they hadn't confirmed anything important until Chen Nuanxin made a WeChat call. After exchanging a few words, Chen Nuanxin suddenly exclaimed, "What! The boss is dead!"

This sound also attracted Guang Chen's attention. The two looked at each other again, their expressions still blank.

The person who should have survived the most was torn apart somewhere without anyone knowing. Who was the blind fool who did it? Could it be some old-fashioned trope where you have to offend a tsundere character to get her attention? Hmm... Anyway, according to what's been revealed, Jiang Xintong was already sitting in the classroom quite early.

Quite early...

Guangchang and Chen Nuanxin realized why Miss Jiang hadn't replied to their WeChat messages: she was too embarrassed to tell them that she had been eliminated too early! She was probably thinking that she should wait a little longer, until the number of people eliminated was less than a certain threshold, before revealing that she had been careless and had her name tag torn off, so that she could barely maintain her personal image.

boss……

Guangchang hesitated for a moment, then quickly typed and sent a WeChat message to Jiang Xintong, saying, "Boss, we've entered the circle first, we'll come find you later."

Holding onto the last shred of dignity—that's the attitude someone should have when earning a base salary of 30,000 a month.

Three minutes later, Jiang Xintong finally replied to the WeChat message.

"I haven't checked my phone. Good luck to you guys, and see you in the industry."

Guangchang and Chen Nuanxin leaned their heads close together, continuing to look at the text with calm expressions.

Yes, that's good, that's good.

86. You want to fight me one-on-one?

Things took an unpredictable turn...

With Miss Jiang's elimination, Guang Chen and Chen Nuanxin's positions became somewhat awkward. However, if we put ourselves in Jiang Xintong's shoes, she would probably announce that the two of them should give it their all when they were discovered later, otherwise, coming to this event would have been meaningless.

“Boss, Qianwen sent me a WeChat message, warning us to be careful of a large group. The leader of this group is a girl named Xiao Yuran, who is the head of the student council’s core member support group. She’s tearing apart anyone she sees along the way, showing absolutely no mercy.”

"A support group...that makes sense." Guangchang guessed that Yan Xingmeng had deliberately added someone to the event like a neutral NPC, attacking whoever she encountered, so that the event wouldn't become boring.

In addition, given their connection to the support group and the student council, if the order was personally given by Yan Xingmeng, then they would indeed be sweeping all the way through.

"And what about Qianwen herself?"

"Qianwen was eliminated because she encountered this group of people."

Huh? Even core members are tearing each other apart? Then she's definitely a purely neutral person, or... is it that this Xiao Yuran is actually waiting for this opportunity to join the student council's core members, so this is her way of fighting for it? After all, she's already in the support group, so she knows the personalities of the core members very well. They all abide by this rule, and she probably knows that the winner will definitely be able to join and fill the last spot.

This is the advantage of having a numerical advantage. Temporarily formed groups simply cannot compare to these long-established groups that already possess cohesion. Now, the number of members is about to drop below 120, and it is unclear how many people this support group will have left.

Guangchang's expectations remained unchanged at 50th place. Since the boss hadn't said he'd lost, he believed his extra bonus hadn't been lost either.

"Let's go, try to get to the front." Guang Chen stood on the steps of the gymnasium and looked out. The huge open space below was empty, and he suddenly had a sense of impending danger. Then the two of them simply changed direction and went around the circular flower bed to the next location where the circle would shrink, to the practice building where some indoor special courses were taught.

The two thought they could walk through the corridor and hide in an empty classroom for a while. Being a coward is a skill, isn't it?

The corridor was eerily quiet. It was about twenty or thirty meters long, and the two hesitated for half a minute before slowly making their way around the corner.

When they reached about halfway down the corridor, they heard a few footsteps at the end. This made Guangchang and his companion's hearts skip a beat. When they looked up, their hearts sank.

One by one, people came down the stairs at the end of the building. There were far more than just one or two people. In just a few seconds, seven or eight people came down, and there were probably many more behind them!

The fact that so many people could still gather at this point immediately reminded Guang Chen of Xiao Yuran's support group—a monster whose mechanism meant certain death! Even the core members had been dealt with, let alone him! The game was over; it seemed he was destined to be outside the top 100…

"Boss! Something's wrong!"

"Hmm, is this correct?"

"That's not what I meant! I meant look at the guy at the front of the line!" Chen Nuanxin patted her boss's arm repeatedly, and pointed to the boy at the front of the line not far away with her other hand.

Guangchang followed the gaze and saw the boy's face. He looked familiar no matter how he looked at him, and then he was shocked. Wasn't that the member of the True Heart Society who was cleaning up the small stones on the road with an iron bucket last time?

Could it be that the group behind them is...? Guangchang Chen's eyes swept over again to confirm, and he found several familiar faces. At the same time, the crowd on that side also noticed Guangchang Chen and his companion. When they confirmed their identities, they were overjoyed and rushed forward, calling out to them as... Boss?

Last time, Guangchang Chen and Chen Nuanxin gave a vivid and soul-cleansing speech in the classroom, successfully waking up this group of love-struck simps. Because Chen Nuanxin repeatedly referred to Guangchang Chen as "boss" more than thirty times, when these guys tearfully took off their armbands and bowed to thank him, some of them even used the title "boss"! At the time, Guangchang Chen didn't pay much attention, but now it seems that these guys have all agreed on the same thing!

People continued to descend the stairs behind them, and the crowd quickly surrounded Guang Chen and his companion. A rough count revealed that there were about thirty people in total.

An incredibly large number of people!

"Boss! And Sister Nuanxin! You're both still here. We've been looking for you."

"Looking for us? Why?" Guangchang asked, puzzled.

Upon hearing this question, the crowd's faces lit up. The boy who had been picking up pebbles stepped forward and replied, "Of course, we hope to help you win, boss! Your speech made me realize just how outrageous the things I did in the past were. It wasn't just me; it was everyone. Our True Heart Society, which had over seventy members, has been regrouped, and the number of members is back to over fifty."

"We're willing to follow you, boss!"

"The last speech was so moving!"

"High school students really don't need to date!"

Someone in the crowd behind was shouting, and suddenly there was a sense of youthful passion in the air. Did that mean that after his last speech, he had successfully turned this group of people into his little fans?

"Wow, with such a number of people, how can we not be among the top?" Chen Nuanxin exclaimed, her mouth slightly agape. Seeing these promising young people, whose eyes had previously been filled with pain and sorrow, now brimming with hope for the future, Chen Nuanxin felt incredibly proud! A surge of excitement welled up within her. Perhaps the sheer number of people really did provide an advantage. She waved her hand and shouted, "Alright! I understand! Everyone! Let's go into the classroom and discuss our strategy!"

"Okay!" The shouts of more than thirty people were still very loud. Then, everyone invited Guang Chen to take the lead into the experimental classroom next to them. Then, people came in one after another, closed the door, and briefly learned about the situation.

After communicating with them, Guang Guangchen understood. First of all, these students all came from well-off families. It was likely that the former president, Han Junche, had done some special research. Anyone who joined a club needed to have some influence. In the end, he selected some rich and idle rich kids who were easily fooled by love to join the club. Only such a group could have enough influence to fight against the student council. But he didn't expect Guang Guangchen to be such a variable...

Minors are prohibited from reading romance books. Their desire for love has reached its peak, but they don't quite understand that love is an equal relationship, so they become "simps," silently giving away tons of money. Without Guangchang's appearance, they would probably be tricked into buying tea when they grow up.

Guangchang Chen had long discovered that this world, where love reigns supreme, was not the pursuit of pure love that he had imagined. Instead, many people were in a state of confusion, getting together regardless of whether they were compatible or not, using emotional chains to restrict people who were not suitable to begin with. This is why so much pain was created, especially during the underage stage. What many people called love was nothing more than self-indulgence in Guangchang Chen's eyes.

With the group size increasing dramatically, Guang Chen suddenly had an extra boost, which was unexpected. The next shrinking circle will officially begin soon, and in five minutes, everyone will need to move again.

Chen Nuanxin looked at her boss's WeChat message on her phone, rubbed her nose, and almost couldn't hold back anymore, because her boss suddenly asked, "Where are you?"

The show is still going on!

Okay, the boss is always right.

Guangchang leaned closer to take a look and asked Nuanxin to reply with the current situation. After a few seconds, Jiang Xintong's reply came again.

See you in the industry.

"..." The two pursed their lips and fell silent for a moment.

Will we ever meet again, boss?

After a short rest, Guang Guangchen relaxed. With the help of the Zhenxin Society, it seemed that he would have no problem getting into the top ranks. Guang Guangchen walked out of the classroom through the front door. It was still quiet outside. Looking at the scenery, he took a deep breath.

"Guangdong Chen?"

A voice suddenly rang out from the left.

The voice sounded quite familiar; Guang Chen even recognized who it was. He slowly turned his head, thinking, "It means that as long as you work hard enough, there are opportunities everywhere in life."

As expected, Han Junche has also made it into the top 100.

Moreover, there were three boys standing next to Han Junche. When Han Junche noticed Guang Yuchen standing alone in front of him, the excitement in his eyes was almost overflowing.

But something's not right, the timing is wrong, Han Junche.

Guangchang could only shake his head slightly at Han Junche, his eyes filled with a complex expression.

But in Han Junche's eyes, this was undoubtedly Guangchang Chen's way of begging for mercy. His gentlemanly and elegant demeanor was just an act for others to see. His true nature had already been exposed in the auditorium that time. Now that no one was around, Han Junche was like the final villain in a TV series. Instead of killing the protagonist first, he wanted to make a few sarcastic remarks first.

"Guang Chen, you didn't expect to run into me here, did you? I've been looking forward to this for so long!"

"That was truly unexpected."

"I will never forget the grudge from last time. Meeting you this time is truly an arrangement of fate. Thank you, God." Han Junche even exaggeratedly made an elegant kissing gesture towards the sky, leaving Guang Changchen speechless.

"You must be incredibly unwilling right now, right? But I'm a very magnanimous person, so I'll give you a chance for a one-on-one fight," Han Junche said confidently.

"Ha... Do you really want to compete? Can't you just pretend you didn't see me and walk away..." Guangchang sighed.

"No! We have to have a winner!"

“…Alright then, come into the classroom with me.” After saying that, Guang Chen shook his head and turned to enter the classroom on the side.

Han Junche snorted and turned to the three people beside him, saying, "Did you really think I'd fight you one-on-one? How naive! Come on, let's all four of us tear him apart!"

Han Junche couldn't help but laugh just thinking about what was going to happen!

Then Han Junche strode forward with a sinister smile, leading the three people beside him through a series of turns and into the front door of the classroom.
