"Yeah, that's right."
"You even had a fight with the president, and in the end, Guangchang went with you..."
"Well, well, although the meaning might sound ambiguous, that's really the truth, isn't it?" Jiang Xintong was a little embarrassed, but she couldn't exactly lie, could she? It was the truth, hmph~
It's clear that Jiang Xintong is in an exceptionally good mood now after receiving guidance. With her biggest inner conflict resolved, she's learned that she shouldn't overthink things alone. When she can't figure something out, she should ask others, especially…
A person flashed through Jiang Xintong's mind, then she rubbed her nose and let out another soft hum.
However, despite Jiang Xintong's pleasant mood, she was startled when she turned around and looked up at Sun Weizecheng.
I recalled that famous meme scene: a dog turned its head to look to the side, was startled, and its whole body shook violently.
Is it really that scary? Yes, it really is.
Jiang Xintong couldn't describe what kind of expression it was, but if Nuanxin were there, she would probably describe his expression as painful, like that of Allen.
At this moment, Sun Weizecheng was biting his lower lip tightly with his upper teeth, his eye sockets were sunken, as if covered with countless black lines. The melancholy and handsome British man he usually was was completely unrecognizable. His eyes were wide open, as if he was witnessing an extremely painful event.
"Hey, Wei Zecheng, are you alright?"
"Why...why didn't you discuss such an important matter as going to the botanical garden with me beforehand?"
"Huh? Do I need to discuss this with you?" Jiang Xintong scratched her cheek, a little embarrassed, and continued, "Nuanxin was in a real hurry to find me, so I didn't think much of it and just went there immediately. Speaking of which, the botanical garden is really hard to find. I even scouted the area beforehand, and I still got lost twice..."
Jiang Xintong spoke casually, but when she looked up and met Wei Zecheng's gaze, she was startled and interrupted her speech.
Damn it!
"But you made it in time, had effective communication with the chairman, and took Guangchang away."
"Yes... why did you repeat it again?" Jiang Xintong was now genuinely afraid of Wei Zecheng.
"What...what did I miss!" Sun Weizecheng muttered in a hoarse voice, his hands covering his cheeks.
Describing pain as being like Allen's is so accurate.
"Huh?" Jiang Xintong belatedly realized that her friend's unusual hobby had caused her some displeasure. This time, she pushed harder and continued, "Hey! Don't make fun of me! Is this your only hobby at school?!"
Sun Weizecheng was extremely depressed. He didn't even acknowledge Jiang Xintong at first. Just thinking about the scene that might appear in his mind—Jiang Xintong saying she was going to take Guang Guangchen away! Wasn't that forcing him to choose between two options? And Guang Guangchen actually chose to go with Jiang Xintong! What kind of expression would the president, who was left behind, have?
what……
My brain is boiling...
No matter how much you think about it, fantasies are just fantasies and can never become the established reality you see before your eyes.
Sun Weize's body turned ashen the next second. No matter how Jiang Xintong pushed him, it was no use. Was there any possibility that... he was already dead?
"Ha... what's going on?" Jiang Xintong didn't even want to complain anymore. Everyone was like this. Then she put her hands on her hips and said sternly, "I called you here to show off my current emotional journey, not to comfort you. Can't you learn a thing or two from Guangchang Chen? You should be able to resolve your own little emotions."
Upon hearing Guangchang's name once again, Sun Weize's blocked brain finally began to function again.
He had just felt a deep regret at missing such a momentous occasion, much like the fainting feeling he experienced from never being able to eat such delicious char siu rice again in the movie "The God of Cookery." But now, upon hearing Jiang Xintong mention Guangchang, he calmly thought about it and another incredible idea popped into his head.
"You don't actually like Guangchang, do you?"
Suddenly, without any warning or preparation, it just slipped out, and I said it directly.
Just a second ago, Jiang Xintong had a smug expression, but then her mind went blank for a few seconds.
It has the power to smash a truck into your brain.
"Didn't you hear me? I meant..."
"Huh?" Jiang Xintong's loud "huh" interrupted Sun Weizecheng's words. She couldn't believe that Sun Weizecheng would say something like that. She had just finished asking and answering her own questions about Weizecheng, and now he had asked her such an absurd question!
"Really? No? I think about him from time to time, and I try to see things from his perspective. Just thinking about him with other girls makes my heart ache." Sun Weizecheng's eyes were fixed on her. He was completely out of his mind today; he needed some amusement, even if it was just baseless speculation! *Ahem*, essentially, Sun Weizecheng is still a staunch supporter of the president; his support for the president is undeniable.
Faced with Sun Weize's relentless advance, Jiang Xintong, still reeling from the shock, retreated step by step. She finally stopped after three or four steps, raising her head to reveal a face of shame and anger. Gritting her teeth, she said, "What nonsense are you spouting, you idiot!"
After saying that, he lightly leaped up and slapped Sun Weizecheng across the cheek. The force wasn't great, but the sound was quite loud. This incident is also recorded in Otto the God of War.
Wake up!
Sun Weizecheng was hit, and his eyes slowly regained some clarity. He rubbed his cheek, looking embarrassed, and said, "I just... hahaha, don't be angry, Xintong. I'm happy to see that you've been able to clear up the misunderstanding."
"Hmph! You should have said that sooner! Now...it's too late!" Jiang Xintong turned and left unhappily. She was truly exasperated. How dare he ask if she liked Guang Chen? Idiot, what an idiot! How could she possibly like him?! A poor man! She was the high and mighty eldest daughter of the Jiang family! What right did he have!
At the same time, Jiang Xintong suddenly recalled a scene in her mind where Guang Chen was leaning against the railing, leisurely gazing at the scenery outside.
"..."
You idiot! You ugly man! You poor man!
Sun Weizecheng, who remained in place, could only watch Jiang Xintong's departing figure from afar, feeling a growing sense of emptiness in his heart. Is it really... like this?
A sudden thought struck Sun Weize: Yes! It's far more than that! The birthday party, the president's birthday party... Since Sun Weize received Yan Xingmeng's invitation, he would automatically be placed on Yan Xingmeng's side, while the president's side would be observing from a different perspective...
Thinking about it, it's not a bad idea.
……
"I'm sorry, I probably can't accept your invitation anymore. I received the president's invitation a few days ago," Zhou Qianwen said with some difficulty.
Yes, considering she's a core member of the student council, it's highly unlikely she would attend the president's birthday party through Jiang Xintong's invitation. To be fair, the president wouldn't be angry about this kind of thing, but from Zhou Qianwen's perspective, even if she had two invitations at the same time, she would probably still consider the president's invitation more.
Hmm? So, it sounds like Zhou Qianwen isn't an undercover agent infiltrating the student council, but rather an undercover agent infiltrating their side!
Jiang Xintong frowned slightly and looked away. As someone who also abides by the rules, she naturally wouldn't say anything more.
"Alright then, it would be good if you could blend in with the guild leader and try to bring us some intelligence."
"Oh, understanding is everything, boss." What Chen Nuanxin admired most about her boss was his open-minded personality. After listening to her boss's explanation of his recent strange behavior, she did indeed smile and say a few words to him. Chen Nuanxin then felt that the bond between her and her boss had become even stronger.
"It seems that this is the only way for now," Zhou Qianwen said softly.
At this moment, Chen Nuanxin raised her hand and said, "I want to say that I have received information from Yao Ning, and she has decided to join the boss's team! This will increase the number of people again."
"Yi Shanmo's younger sister... Xu Ke!" Jiang Xintong crossed her arms, but acted like a big boss.
"Who else can we invite..." Zhou Qianwen murmured, but then, seeing the unhurried demeanor of the others, she asked curiously, "Are there enough people?"
"Yes, that's enough, even more than enough," Guangchang said truthfully.
"Exceeding?"
"Yes, Qianwen, don't forget, now the boss is the real boss of the True Heart Society! More than thirty members will be able to attend this birthday party, so we don't need to worry about the team battle at all. Hmm, oh, boss, you're the big boss behind the boss, you're the most powerful one." Chen Nuanxin met Jiang Xintong's gaze and didn't forget to flatter her a bit more. There was only a little over a week left before she could receive her base salary again, how could she not be respectful!
Jiang Xintong was quite satisfied with this statement, but as she nodded, a scene that was both ordinary and somewhat indescribable appeared in her field of vision.
"Wow, you were really efficient this time, that's heartwarming. Impressive."
"Hehe, it's just so-so."
Chen Nuanxin stood in front of Guang Guangchen with a silly smile, while Guang Guangchen swayed his body along with her, gently pinching her cheek—a very ordinary gesture. Wait, ordinary? Is it just because it's Guang Guangchen and Nuanxin? Is it okay for them to do this?
"Qianwen, don't you think Guangchang and Nuanxin's actions are a bit too intimate?" Jiang Xintong stopped keeping the question to herself and asked it directly in a low voice.
Zhou Qianwen paused for a moment after hearing this, then looked at the two people chatting and laughing like they were performing a comedy routine. She pondered their interaction and whispered, "I don't think so...aren't they always like this..."
The two girls stared at Guang Guangchen and Chen Nuanxin with slight confusion until they felt the gaze on them. Then, Guang Guangchen and Chen Nuanxin turned around at the same time, their bewildered expressions exactly the same.
102. No blood-soaked mini-games!
"What?"
"No, it's none of your business." Jiang Xintong didn't tell Guangchang Chen about this silly idea. She had just said she wouldn't take the matter to heart! Please, Jiang Xintong wasn't stupid. If she really asked the question, Guangchang Chen and the other man would probably laugh at her all day long. Just the other day, Chen Nuanxin couldn't help but laugh at her until now. She believed that if the opportunity arose in the future, she would definitely bring it up again!
These two people have just known each other for a long time and seem to be very close. They might not even consider each other to be of the opposite sex.
"They were secretly whispering something to each other..."
"Hey! Boss." Chen Nuanxin tugged at Guang Changchen's sleeve and whispered, "At this crucial moment, it's best to be careful with your words and actions."
"Hmm, that makes sense. Miss, how did we get there that night? Did Nuanxin and I take a taxi directly there?"
"What a joke! Take a taxi? I'll send a private car to pick you up. Just stay home and wait. Also, you need to wear decent dresses to the birthday party. If you don't have any, I can take you shopping tonight."
With a private car and formal attire, this birthday party sounds like it's going to be quite grand.
"Oh, I've never been to the president's house before. It must be huge," Chen Nuanxin said, nodding as she spoke.
"It's quite big, considering her family owns an estate."
manor……
Such niche terminology.
It's one of those manors where you have to drive several kilometers from the entrance to get to your accommodation. Guang Chen seems to have seen it in many TV dramas.
"Isn't that a bit too big?"
"It's alright. Parking will be very difficult on the day of the birthday party, so it's best to go a little early." Jiang Xintong's tone was very casual. Money was the least of her concerns. As the only daughter of the Jiang family, her lavish upbringing would likely influence her money values for the rest of her life.
Guangchang himself doesn't resent the rich. He understands that some things are destined to be either given or not given. Ten years of hard study can't compare to three generations of businessmen, let alone those who are naturally born into wealth. This makes it easy to understand why the male protagonists in Meteor Garden all act so arrogantly. No one has ever dared to speak ill of them since they were young, so of course they're arrogant.
Hmm, that young lady is really quite something, really quite something!
Jiang Xintong watched Guang Chen nod meaningfully again. Many times, she couldn't keep up with his thought process. When she asked him, he would give long explanations. How could Jiang Xintong possibly watch anime that only poor people watch! Just explaining a joke takes him a long time to understand, and sometimes he seems out of place.
Just then, Jiang Xintong suddenly thought of a question, and her relaxed mood tightened, but she still put on an indifferent attitude and said, "On the day of the birthday party, Guangchang, what color dress will you wear?"
"Black or white, either is fine. No! Miss, you choose." Guangchang finally understood! Chen Nuanxin, who was standing to the side, immediately gave him an approving look.
They're ready to graduate.
"Then let's go with black, I feel black would suit you better."
"Okay, then I'll wear black."
"Okay, I understand." Jiang Xintong's tone remained calm, but she was already thinking about what kind of decent dress she should wear that day. A group should dress like a team, and there's nothing wrong with that, right?
"Boss, I remember you said that besides the birthday party, we also have to play a little game with the president. Is it going to be another big event like the last name tag ripping game?"
"Huh? Uh... no, these little games are something that Yan Xingmeng and I spontaneously play at every birthday party. It's only for the people we invite, just a small circle of people. So far, Yan Xingmeng and I have had both wins and losses."
"Oh... what games were you playing before?" Chen Nuanxin asked.
"That's different for each of them. Sometimes I'll go on stage myself, and sometimes I'll watch the whole thing from behind the scenes."
"Watching the whole thing from behind the scenes..." Chen Nuanxin muttered these words, and then images of the entire first season of Gambling Apocalypse flashed through her mind. The rich drove the poor to participate in some bloodthirsty games, spending hundreds of millions to watch these poor people engage in small games of cooperation, deception, courage, and so on! Could it be that the people invited were there to do this?
Chen Nuanxin immediately trembled with fear; it was so terrifying…
After all, Chen Nuanxin was practically the only "poor" person present! Later, it was learned that Qianwen's family was actually well-off. Wow, look at the mess this has made... Boss! Come quick, help!
"Is there any danger involved?" Guangchang asked at this moment.
"Of course not! What are you all thinking? Yan Xingmeng and I were just playing a simple little game to decide a winner, especially you! Nuanxin, what on earth are you thinking about!" Jiang Xintong had known these two for a long time and was very familiar with them. Nuanxin, like Guangchang Chen, would often let her imagination run wild at times like this, thinking about all sorts of random things, and these things could usually be pinpointed to anime or manga. The references Nuanxin used were even more difficult to understand.
"Haha... I just suddenly thought of Gambling Apocalypse and felt a little panicked. Phew, it's good that it wasn't dangerous." Chen Nuanxin breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and felt relieved that it was a false alarm.
"Oh, you know what, you really have to say." Guangchang Chen then recalled that bloodthirsty little game among the poor, watching the male protagonist barely advance all the way, while the amount of debt kept increasing. After finally winning a game, he would quickly become complacent and want to win again. It was a true anti-gambling anime, and among the anime that Guangchang Chen had watched, it should at least be ranked in the top five.
"Just from the name, it sounds like a terrible movie," Jiang Xintong blurted out, but the next second she didn't hear a response from Guang Guangchen and Chen Nuanxin. Looking over, she was startled to find that Guang Guangchen and Chen Nuanxin were staring at her with serious expressions.
Immediately afterward, Chen Nuanxin sauntered over to Jiang Xintong's side like a ghost, leaned close, and almost rested her head on Jiang's shoulder, whispering in her ear, "Go take a look, boss, please."
It's always like this... Every time she mentions a heartwarming anime that she particularly loves, she gets all serious and forces herself to watch it too. Although the viewing experience is good, Jiang Xintong doesn't want to cultivate such a poor person's interest!
"I didn't even finish watching the one you recommended last time."
"Yes, I want to watch that one too, and this one too! Please, boss!" Chen Nuanxin looked nervous, even clenching her index fingers together in a prayer-like gesture, her big, bright eyes blinking, making it almost unbearable.
"I understand, but I don't think it's good enough." Jiang Xintong glanced at her out of the corner of her eye, then raised her right hand and pushed away the heartwarming face that looked surprised and delighted.
I've really been overthinking things. Even I haven't always treated Nuanxin like a girl, let alone Guangchang. It's really...
Jiang Xintong had no idea what was wrong with her lately. She was having more and more random thoughts that she had never had before. Was it all because of Guang Chen and Nuan Xin's influence? Had she also picked up the air of the poor?
Jiang Xintong looked at Nuanxin again, and was greeted with an incredibly bright and flattering smile.
hateful.
"So, who won the competition at the last two birthday parties?"
"..."
"Ok?"
"Yan Xingmeng won both times, but I've won quite a few in the past too!" Jiang Xintong immediately retorted.
Ah, no wonder you're so eager to win. It turns out you lost to the president the last two times, so you're full of fighting spirit now.
"If it's just a matter of luck, then losing doesn't mean anything. Don't be discouraged, Miss," Zhou Qianwen comforted her.
