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

"Ah!" A scream rang out as a petite girl was pulled out of the circle surrounding Cao Ruoyu. Due to the excessive force, she fell directly to the ground. This was the girl who had just praised Cao Ruoyu but then slapped her on the backside, saying that it was okay if she was a few points short. She had only said one wrong thing, and then she was forcibly pushed out of the crowd by the group of supporters. Even though she fell to the ground, they didn't care at all.

That's really going too far.

"Nuanxin, go check on her." Guangchang said to Chen Nuanxin, who nodded repeatedly, ran over, carefully helped the girl up, and asked, "Are you alright? Did you hurt yourself?"

"No, it's nothing..." The girl said she was fine, but she was obviously hurt from the fall, as her elbow was scraped. This action quickly aroused the dissatisfaction of Guang Chen and his group.

Zhou Qianwen saw this and ran over to ask what was going on. The two groups met up. Cao Ruoyu heard the surrounding discussions and saw the crying girl. She immediately understood what was happening, but she didn't take any action. In short, it was still her arrogance.

"Cao Ruoyu, shouldn't you control the people around you? What are you doing? Are you raising poisonous insects?" Guang Changchen's words were clearly aggressive, and there was no goodwill between the two of them.

Upon hearing this, Cao Ruoyu's eyebrows twitched slightly, but in order to maintain her image as a dignified young lady, she did not react. With so many people watching, she could only calmly say, "Guang, I know that we had some unpleasantness in the past, but we're both in our second year of high school now, can't we make up?"

"That's right, that's right! I know this boy pursued my sister back in the first year of high school, but she didn't accept him, and he kept bothering her!"

"Ah! So it's because he can't get her, that's why he's breaking down!"

"Sister, you don't need to say anything more to him. You should have cut ties with him a long time ago! Sister is still too gentle!"

Various voices rose from the crowd, and Guang Chen was immediately belittled into nothingness. However, he didn't care. He asked Nuan Xin to help the girl to the side first, and then said, "It seems you really like being surrounded by people. You can be kicked out of the group immediately if you say one wrong word, and your fans will help you. You just disappear beautifully by yourself. Now I know why so many people hate traffic stars. Compared to these blind fans, you who do nothing and don't speak up are obviously worse."

Because he was worried that something he said would affect his reputation, he simply chose not to take sides or speak out, letting things develop on their own. Guangchang Chen really didn't want to give this kind of person even the slightest bit of a friendly look.

Guang Chen spoke with great conviction, and his voice quickly attracted many small groups around him. Some rumors about Cao Ruoyu had been circulating in private. Indeed, seeing is believing. At this moment, almost all the students in the school were in the square. Once the discussion started, even if Cao Ruoyu's group had a large number of people, they couldn't keep up with so many mouths.

On the other hand, and more importantly, Guangchang had heard from Nuanxin that Cao Ruoyu's family background was actually very ordinary! In other words, she worked hard to get into the school in her first year of high school and became the top student in her grade before gradually developing all sorts of spoiled rich girl habits. Although she became a member of F6 last year, people wanted to befriend her because of her status; her personal value was not that great.

Hearing the noise around her, Cao Ruoyu's face gradually stiffened, but her feet seemed glued to her. She still didn't want to go up and say anything to that girl. This was all the arrogance that had come from her experiences over the past year. She chose not to argue with Guang Chen. When it was almost time to get the results, she turned and left in the other direction.

Guangchang shook his head. This guy was hopeless, or was there something wrong with the school itself? He turned and walked back into the group. The girl who had been crying quietly stopped. Someone ran over and bought a box of band-aids, which Zhou Qianwen carefully put on for her.

"Don't blindly like someone in the future, you know? At least think things through more rationally," Chen Nuanxin said, puffing out her cheeks.

The girl had also come to her senses by now, nodding repeatedly: "Yes, it won't happen again..."

It can be considered that someone was saved, so it seems that reasoning with them makes sense, which is fine.

"The results are out!" someone shouted from not far away, and then the crowd began to move towards the bulletin board. In fact, the grade rankings had already been posted there, but they were covered with a piece of white paper. They could only be taken down with the approval of the core members of the student council. What a bunch of people who like to abuse their power...

A regular student council member wearing a student council armband stepped forward and then unveiled the grade ranking sheet that everyone was paying attention to.

Guangchang and the others were only concerned about who would be number one in the second year of high school. If it really was Cao Ruoyu again, then the second year of high school would be very difficult. Most of those who chose to support Zhou Qianwen were her classmates, and they were extremely nervous at this moment.

"First place in Grade 11: Zhou Qianwen, with a total score of 704."

With the results finalized, according to the original rules, Zhou Qianwen will become one of the core members of F6!

Chen Nuanxin was the first to shout "We won!" and the people around her quickly joined in the cheers. It wasn't just their side; there were also cheers from the other two areas of the first and third years of high school. It seemed to be a boy from the first year who was being lifted high by a group of people. The third year was quite impressive; according to Chen Nuanxin, it was the same person again. That was pretty amazing—first place in the grade for two consecutive years. He must be a true genius.

While some were happy, others were sad. Cao Ruoyu's group seemed lifeless, lacking the momentum from before. Many people in the group didn't know where to look. Cao Ruoyu knew very well that everyone was uncertain. When her attention fell on Zhou Qianwen, her usual elegant demeanor finally crumbled, and her face stiffened unsightly.

"Oh? Boss, look over there, someone's face looks really bad." Chen Nuanxin caught a glimpse of Cao Ruoyu out of the corner of her eye, and naturally she wouldn't let this ungrateful behavior go unpunished. She raised her voice and patted Guangchang Chen on the shoulder as she spoke.

Cao Ruoyu couldn't hold back any longer and shouted back, "Don't be too happy yet! I'll still be invited to be a core member of the student council in a couple of days!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the girls in her group improved slightly. Yes, at least there was this promise...

Cao Ruoyu seemed to be trying to regain some face, but a few seconds later, a voice rang out from not far away, knocking her back to rock bottom.

"No, Ruoyu, you won't be invited." The crowd began to stir and disperse. Then, Yan Xingmeng suddenly entered with Vice President Sun Weizecheng and walked to Cao Ruoyu's side. She tilted her head slightly at her and smiled, "Rules are rules. Ruoyu, you don't want to break the rules, do you?"

11. Count me in too?

"Mmm, mmm..." Cao Ruoyu felt like she didn't dare to breathe, she looked away, so nervous that she clutched the hem of her clothes. Just one sentence overturned everything Cao Ruoyu had said before.

Meanwhile, the girls around her gradually realized that Cao Ruoyu had lied; she hadn't received any special protection from the student council. So, in that case...

Many students were focused on Cao Ruoyu, as this was probably the first time they had witnessed a change in core members.

Was it because the president and the others saw what just happened? After a year together, they still chose to exclude Cao Ruoyu and choose a new member? Are they not actually that close?

In an instant, countless suspicions arose among the students. Some girls who were originally close to Cao Ruoyu suddenly realized something and kept a little distance from her.

"Wait, wait a minute." Cao Ruoyu realized this, her eyes filled with panic as she tried to calm down. She, who was once admired and worshipped, was now receiving only messages of panic and confusion in the eyes of others. The interpersonal relationships she had worked hard to build over the past year had encountered an unexpected change at this moment.

"Okay, I understand. Let's quickly confirm the list of new core student council members." Yan Xingmeng shifted her gaze away from Cao Ruoyu, a level of attention that she might never see again after this.

"Try harder in your senior year of high school," Vice President Sun Weizecheng said with a faint smile. No matter when you look at his squinty eyes, you always feel that there is something hidden under that smiling face. Just think about it, and you'll know. So far, how many simple things does the squinty-eyed man have?

Yan Xingmeng and the other woman left directly, and all attention shifted as they moved, perhaps never truly falling on Cao Ruoyu.

Some of the girls around Cao Ruoyu are too proud to leave immediately, but it's believed that their retreat is only a matter of time.

Guangchang's gaze fell on Cao Ruoyu's face, who had suddenly fallen to the bottom and was in a state of disarray. This was exactly what Guangchang had originally envisioned. Relying on the strength of others was ultimately illusory; only what belonged to oneself was real. Looking at the grade ranking list, Cao Ruoyu was not even second, but seventh. That meant that... Cao Ruoyu had regressed this year.

Progressing slower than others is also a form of regression. For an average family, getting first place in the grade should be a huge achievement, especially if one can maintain their initial aspirations…

Guangchang didn't think about it anymore, because it was someone else's life, and everyone had to be responsible for their own life. He turned around and returned to his small group, and to avoid Yan Xingmeng noticing him, he stood in a relatively secluded position.

"You guys are the top students in your respective grades, right? Junche, are you still number one in your grade? That's amazing." Yan Xingmeng was standing in front of three people. The senior was the original F6 members who had stayed for a while, the junior was the new member Zhou Qianwen from Class 4 of the junior year, and the freshman was a short boy.

"I'll do my best." The senior high school boy scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

“Effort is also part of strength.” Yan Xingmeng said, reaching into her pocket and pulling something out. When she opened her left hand, three newly made golden lion badges gleamed in her palm, their poses different from the originals.

"From now on, you will be core members of the student council. Please continue to work hard," Sun Weizecheng said with a smile.

The birth of a new F6 member will undoubtedly change the daily routine for the entire school year ahead. However, Guang Guangchen quietly took another step back. In fact, since Yan Xingmeng appeared, the two have not made a single eye contact, but Guang Guangchen still did not want to have any interaction with her. With a few quick movements, he slowly retreated into the crowd.

……

"Boss, more than ten people have greeted me today. What's most surprising is that I don't know a single one of them!" Chen Nuanxin frowned and pointed to herself in surprise.

Guangchang was scrolling through videos on his phone and said casually, "Of course. Ever since Qianwen joined the core members, people who are familiar with her will naturally be noticed. Haven't the three of us been getting quite close lately?"

"Hey! Is my situation... bothering you?" Zhou Qianwen asked in a panic.

After hearing this, Guang Chen and Chen Nuanxin both looked at her, especially noticing the shiny gold lion badge on her chest that symbolized the F6 members. It would be hard not to become the center of attention with that.

"This, this is what the president and the others asked us to wear on our chests, I had no choice..."

"It's alright, it's alright, I didn't say anything bad. In fact, because of you, Qianwen, our second year of high school will be easier. Qianwen! Please lead us forward in the days to come!" Guangchang Chen joked, clenching his fist.

"Please, please don't say that! Let's just stay the same as before. I don't think joining the core members should change my life. Besides, I've seen Cao Ruoyu's situation... Maybe my idea of ​​joining F6 was wrong!" Zhou Qianwen suddenly shouted. Luckily, no one was around, or her words would have startled everyone.

"Hmph, it's the psychological rebellion period after joining, huh?"

“Versailles…” Chen Nuanxin echoed her boss, and they teased and joked with each other.

Fortunately, the atmosphere among the three did not change due to the change in their identities. Guang Chen tried his best in the opening exam, and although his score was only average, it still shocked Chen Nuanxin. She felt a sense of defeat, like her good friend suddenly working hard and getting into his ideal university. Usually, when she said she would study hard, it was just to tease her friend. But when her friend actually improved, Chen Nuanxin only had one feeling: never before had she wanted to love learning so much.

Hehe, let me become an emotionless learning machine like this.

In any case, life goes on. Guangchang Chen didn't want to get involved with those strange guys. There was another group of love-obsessed people, or rather, those core members were just more advanced versions of love-obsessed people. The one who could win over that group was definitely "Shancai." Oh, wait, that boy who joined in the first year of high school and looked like a submissive type looks a lot like her. Since the student council president and secretary are both girls, the existence of a gender-swapped version of Shancai is quite reasonable. Haha.

Guangchang smiled. Just as he was leisurely leaning back in his chair watching game gameplay videos, a silver iron box fell from his line of sight and finally landed on the table in front of him.

Chen Nuanxin handed it over, and she herself was a little confused. She pointed to the back door of the classroom and said, "Someone just handed it over, saying it was for you, Boss."

"what?"

"I don't know, let's open it and see."

Chen Nuanxin opened the box, and the three of them looked over. Inside, they saw a silver lion badge, a light purple armband, and a gold card.

Chen Nuanxin took out the card, on which were just a few words that were easy to understand.

"Guangdong Chen, a regular member of the student council."

Guangchang held his phone in both hands, listening to the streamer's screams coming from the game. His surprise and doubt grew, and he opened his mouth, only managing to utter one word: "Eh?"

It seems something quite extraordinary has happened again.

12. This is what you call a chosen protagonist!

……

"Boss, did you secretly sign up for the student council?" Chen Nuanxin asked, her eyes filled with confusion.

"How could this be..." Guangchang checked the name on the card again. Neither the grade nor the name was wrong.

"Can a choice still be forced?"

“That shouldn’t be possible. To join the student council, you need to have your own application form. Maybe… it’s the form you filled out when you were in your first year of high school?” Zhou Qianwen suggested.

Upon hearing this, Guang Guangchen and Chen Nuanxin both fell into deep thought. Then, Chen Nuanxin slammed her left hand into her right palm, recalling that there seemed to be such a thing. Guang Guangchen no longer needed to painstakingly search through his World Notes. In short, something unusual must be going on. He felt that his entry into the student council this time was most likely related to what happened in the oil painting class last time.

I might get bullied.

……

The first week after being forced to join the student council was surprisingly peaceful. Contrary to what Chen had originally imagined, he was not being constantly targeted. On the contrary, the work of ordinary student council members was more like what a student council should be doing: communicating about funding for various club activities and coordinating between new and old clubs.

For more than a week, Zhou Qianwen, as usual, would describe her experiences to Guangchang after returning from the student council. The core members and ordinary members of the student council even had different meeting places. Ordinary members went to the student council classroom, while core members went directly to the president's office. She heard that even the tea utensils were quite expensive.

Guangchang Chen thought Zhou Qianwen's family situation was only slightly better than average. The sudden improvement in her quality of life made him wonder if she would forget her original intentions and become a second Cao Ruoyu. As it stands, the relationship between Zhou Qianwen, Guangchang Chen, and the other two remains unchanged.

Guangchang's comfort level on campus has risen sharply thanks to Zhou Qianwen's "protection".

One day, Guang Chen had just finished his work in the student council and was checking people's appearance at the school gate when he returned to the classroom. As he walked through the corridor, he felt a gaze on him.

Looking over, he noticed a figure loitering behind a small clump of trees. He stopped to watch, and the figure stopped moving and slowly emerged from behind the clump after a couple of seconds.

It was a boy, and he looked somewhat familiar.

Well, isn't this one of the newly formed F6 members from the first year of high school? Because of her extremely small stature, Guangchang Chen used to jokingly call her a gender-swapped version of Chu Yuxun. Or perhaps it really was a problem with the core members; Guangchang Chen had no idea.

"Is there something you need?" Guangchang asked.

Upon hearing this, the boy trembled slightly and hesitated a bit, but he still mustered his courage and approached step by step. Guangchang was absolutely right in judging his hesitant demeanor.

"Hello, my name is Chu Ling, I'm from Class 2 of Grade 11. You may have seen me before. You must recognize this, right?" Chu Ling pointed to the golden lion badge on her chest and said in a slightly loud tone. Then, realizing her mistake, she softened her tone. "I'm not trying to show off. I just... I just want to get to know you."

"Getting acquainted?"

"Yes! I saw what you did in the square that day. It was very bold. As an ordinary second-year high school student, you dared to challenge the members of F6. I don't think anyone else would have done that at that time. We all agreed that Cao Ruoyu and Xue Jie would still be the members of F6 in the second year of high school."

"That's why I said you've all been completely fooled by her."

"Yes, senior, your actions shocked and impressed me greatly at the time, so I wanted to get to know you and make friends!" Chu Ling's words were sincere and polite. Guang Chen didn't care, it had nothing to do with whether he was a new member of F6, and as a friend, he was perfectly polite and friendly.

"Sure, it's a pleasure to meet you too." Guang Chen reached out to shake hands with him, and Chu Ling also looked pleasantly surprised, shaking hands with him as well. The two shook hands, and for a moment it was hard to tell who the core member was.

Then Guang Chen took out his phone, wanting to add him on WeChat, but suddenly realized that the other person was using a very old-fashioned button phone. To put it bluntly, it was probably an old-fashioned phone that could only play Tetris.

It seems this boy's family isn't well-off either.

"I'm sorry, I can only contact you via text message for now. I'll get a new phone soon once I've saved up enough pocket money."

"Okay." Guangchang nodded, but a big question still lingered in his mind, so he asked tactfully, "How much is your monthly allowance?"

Hearing this, Chu Ling hesitated for a moment, but then seemed to remember something and slowly raised her head, saying, "It's about six hundred a month. It's not much, but my parents work very hard to support my schooling, and I also do some odd jobs during the summer."

The sense of déjà vu is getting stronger and stronger.

An ordinary family background, excellent academic performance, and a resolute character—you really are the protagonist!

Wow, it's a school romance comedy! The male lead is a poor high school student, and the female lead is a rich heiress. Then various female characters with different personalities and looks randomly appear and gradually win each other's hearts. Hmm, it's the standard template that a romantic world should have.

"I understand, you've really worked hard." Guangchang nodded repeatedly. Becoming friends with the protagonist is never a bad thing, but he believed that the hardships from the other party had only just begun! As the male protagonist of this drama, he would be bullied by those young ladies. The student council president was obviously no pushover, and although the vice president was male, his squinty eyes spoke volumes.

Brother, your road ahead is really going to be a bit bumpy.

Guangchang suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for the young man in front of him who was about to endure everything.

Even though I've already joined F6 through hard work, I still have to go through a tough life. Can't life be sweet at first and then sweet later?

"It's not exactly hard work." Just as Chu Ling was scratching his cheek, Guang Chen's hands were already on his shoulders, and he said earnestly, "Tell me honestly, have those people in the student council said anything strange to you? Like, the music playing in your headphones is hurting my eyes, that as long as I chase speed, I can forget my tears, or that I should never mention my father in front of me again! Things like that."

"Uh...no."

"It's okay, just prepare yourself mentally. Good luck." Guang Guangchen said this sincerely. Every week, various famous love-related scenes would be repeated in different places at school. The end of all roads is love. The stench of love had almost swallowed Guang Guangchen up. He didn't think Chu Ling could escape. It was just the calm before the storm.

"Thank you, senior. You really are a very kind person," Chu Ling said with a smile.

Laugh now, that's all I can laugh about. The next thirty episodes will probably all be crying faces.

This stupid kid.

13. I've become the boss?

……
