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

Um... that's a completely wrong guess.

"Your conclusion is a bit too..."

"It's pointless to say more. Don't think you've really won. I've said it before, you're just a toy under the chairman's command. Sooner or later, you'll taste defeat. Want to hear a secret?" When Han Junche said the last sentence, a mysterious smile appeared on his lips, and even his anger subsided a lot.

"What secret?" Guangchang narrowed his eyes and asked casually.

"Hmph, do you think there's any possibility..." Han Junche then held up a finger, saying with a half-smile, "Yan Xingmeng likes Sun Weizecheng!"

"..."

cut.

People really want to laugh when they're speechless. Guang Chen slowly shook his head, then stopped talking altogether, leading Nuan Xin to ignore him and walk back to the classroom.

Speaking of which, why hasn't the young lady replied to my message yet...?

117. I won't allow you to bully him!

……

"Tennis match? What's so interesting about that..." Jiang Xintong looked at the messages tagging her in the group chat on her WeChat phone, but despite saying that, she still slowly walked towards the playground. It wasn't that she really wanted to watch it! It was just that spending time with her subordinates occasionally was a way of being approachable, and that way they would be more grateful to her.

Jiang Xintong snorted softly and didn't reply. She just walked straight ahead. As she passed through the corridor beside the circular flower bed, she suddenly bumped into someone. Yan Xingmeng was holding a document in her hand. The two almost collided. When Jiang Xintong looked up and saw that it was Yan Xingmeng, her brows suddenly furrowed.

"Xintong! What a coincidence! It seems we're quite destined to meet." Yan Xingmeng still had that smiling face. Jiang Xintong glanced at her, immediately turned her head away, and lowered her voice, saying, "What destiny...?"

"Are you going to the playground? It's quite cold there, wear an extra jacket."

"A jacket? Where would I get a jacket now? I'd have to go back to the classroom to get one." The school uniform alone is no longer enough to keep up with the temperature. Every student brings their own jacket in addition to the school uniform jacket. Of course, there's no such outrageous school rule that requires students to wear their school uniform on the outside and a down jacket underneath.

"Hmm... if you don't want to go back, then wear mine. It's just a short walk from the president's office." As she spoke, Yan Xingmeng actually started to take off the clothes over her school uniform jacket, intending to give them to Jiang Xintong.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Xintong immediately became anxious and shouted, "Are you kidding me?! Why would I wear your clothes? It's just going back to the classroom, it's only a few steps. Put your clothes on properly!"

Jiang Xintong even personally helped Yan Xingmeng zip up her jacket, simply because she saw that Yan Xingmeng was holding a stack of documents in her left hand and seemed to be having some difficulty. But after zipping it up, she felt it wasn't quite right, so she took a step back, pointed outside, and said, "Alright! Get out of here right now! I have important things to do too."

"Hmm... alright then." Yan Xingmeng didn't intend to linger; she did have some work to finish. She turned to leave, and Jiang Xintong breathed a sigh of relief. But after taking only a few steps, Yan Xingmeng turned back, smiled at her with narrowed eyes, and asked, "Xintong, do you know where Guangchang Chen is right now?"

"..."

"Don't know? Okay then, see you next time." Yan Xingmeng smiled with narrowed eyes and turned to leave.

Watching Yan Xingmeng's retreating figure, Jiang Xintong felt something was off. After a moment's hesitation, she abandoned her plan to go back to the classroom to get her clothes and strode quickly toward Yan Xingmeng, raising her voice to say, "Wait a minute!"

"Hmm?" Yan Xingmeng turned her head in confusion, looked at Xintong who had a serious expression, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Xintong's expression was somewhat complicated, but she had already thought about doing this. She then looked at Yan Xingmeng and said, "Talk to me, right now."

Yan Xingmeng was surprised to see Xintong so serious, then replied, "Then let's go back to the president's office to talk."

"it is good."

The two then went to the main building together, and their sight attracted the attention of many passing students, who began to discuss it with their companions.

At this time, Yan Xingmeng is usually the only one in the president's office. She works quietly during this time without being disturbed by anyone, including replying to messages. But since Xintong has something important to discuss with her, Yan Xingmeng will naturally make time for her.

Along the way, Jiang Xintong was a little uneasy, and even began to doubt why she had said she wanted to have a talk. Why did it feel like she was about to have a showdown? Was it really true that she had said she would speak up for Guangchang Chen back then, and now that she had the opportunity, she really had to say a few words for him?

"Come in, please." Yan Xingmeng stepped aside, opened the door to the president's office, and invited Jiang Xintong in.

A chill wafted from the president's office, which hadn't been air-conditioned yet, and Jiang Xintong shivered involuntarily.

Don't be afraid! You've already made up your mind!

Jiang Xintong gritted her teeth and stepped inside. Yan Xingmeng followed, and when she closed the door behind her, Jiang Xintong was startled by the sound.

"Are you cold? I'll turn on the air conditioning right away." Yan Xingmeng quickly walked to the right wall, turned on the central air conditioning, and a gentle warm breeze soon blew out. Then, she casually put her things down first. She could act so naturally once she was in her own space…

Jiang Xintong wanted to slap her forehead! Why didn't she let Yan Xingmeng come to her group classroom? If she had come to the president's office with Yan Xingmeng, her presence would have been much weaker!

How despicable!

Jiang Xintong flashed her two canine teeth and stared at Yan Xingmeng, who was tidying up the things on the table. Yan Xingmeng didn't even look at her and just asked casually, "What do you want to tell me? You can just say it."

Do you think I'm giving you a work report?

Jiang Xintong didn't answer until Yan Xingmeng turned her head in confusion and noticed Xintong's angry face, which also showed her confusion.

"What's wrong? Didn't you have something you wanted to tell me?"

"Of course! I'm being very formal, so please put down what you're doing and listen to me," Jiang Xintong said loudly.

Yan Xingmeng nodded, then went around to the main table, sat down, and said, "Then you go ahead and say it."

It feels like I'm about to start comforting a child...

Jiang Xintong, however, clearly didn't realize this. She assumed that her imposing manner had intimidated Yan Xingmeng. She then snorted, raised her head slightly, and said, "Listen carefully, please don't bother Guang Guangchen anymore! He's already very troubled. Saying you like him is probably a lie, right? You can like someone? That's completely impossible in my eyes! If you do this again, I will stand up for Guang Guangchen without hesitation!"

He poured out his thoughts, without excess, just right, and full of conviction. Jiang Xintong was fairly satisfied. Hmph! This was a small warning. She hoped Yan Xingmeng would be sensible and stop bothering her subordinate's personal life, or else... or else...

Ok?

Jiang Xintong waited for several seconds, but Yan Xingmeng did not reply.

The excessive silence gave her a strange feeling. She lowered her gaze and focused on Yan Xingmeng at the main table, only to find Yan Xingmeng with a completely calm expression...

What's going on here?

Yan Xingmeng's smile vanished. She put down the pen she had just picked up, met Jiang Xintong's gaze, and asked in a deep voice, "I want to know, what is your stance on saying this? Are you a friend? Or... a rival in love?"

"A love rival?! You must be kidding me! How could you possibly be a love rival? Are you an idiot?!" Jiang Xintong exploded upon hearing these two sentences, no longer caring about the atmosphere, and then blurted out four or five rhetorical questions in a row.

"Hahahahaha." With Jiang Xintong's slight breach of defense, Yan Xingmeng, who had been keeping a straight face, suddenly burst out laughing, even laughing heartily.

Only then did Jiang Xintong realize she'd been tricked. Her face flushed instantly, and she immediately went into battle mode, charging at Yan Xingmeng as if to fight her to the death. She circled around the main table, launching a barrage of attacks. Yan Xingmeng frantically parried, but she couldn't help but laugh. The more Yan Xingmeng laughed, the more embarrassed and annoyed Jiang Xintong became. "Aaaaaah! I really hate you, Yan Xingmeng!"

Finally, Yan Xingmeng grabbed Jiang Xintong's wrists and begged for mercy, which temporarily calmed her anger. Looking at Jiang Xintong's chest heaving with anger, Yan Xingmeng also tried to calm down and said, "But I'm afraid I can't meet your request. I'm sorry, Xintong."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xintong immediately glared at Yan Xingmeng with hostile eyes, only to be met with a squinting smile.

"Because I have truly fallen for Guangchang."

"..."

Yan Xingmeng spoke softly and calmly, but beneath that calmness, Jiang Xintong could vaguely hear a hint of sadness, and her efforts to break free eased slightly.

It turned out that all of this was true, and Guang Chen's understanding was not wrong at all. It wasn't until Jiang Xintong saw her rival and friend Yan Xingmeng with this expression that she finally confirmed that it was all true.

Yan Xingmeng... fell in love with a boy...

“I can agree to many things, but there’s only one thing I hope you will support me on, okay, Xintong?” Yan Xingmeng said again.

Jiang Xintong's initial anger was extinguished by those words. What?! I came here to teach Yan Xingmeng a lesson! But her anger actually started to subside.

Seeing her gradually calm down, Yan Xingmeng saw through her thoughts at a glance, chuckled, and said, "It seems I still don't understand you enough. Xintong, you're not only worried about Guangchang, but also about me, right? You really are a gentle person. No wonder we've been able to compete with each other for so long and still maintain such a good friendship."

"Who said you're such a good friend?" Jiang Xintong frowned.

Seeing that he couldn't vent his anger, he simply stopped talking, shook his hands to break free from Yan Xingmeng's grasp, and then turned to leave, saying, "This is pointless, I'm leaving."

But they had only gone halfway when Yan Xingmeng called out to her again, saying, "Since your work has already been interrupted, why don't you stay here and we catch up on some shows together? Don't you always share movies on your WeChat Moments?"

After hearing this, Jiang Xintong turned around, glared at her fiercely, and whispered, "Who wants to watch a movie with you!"

"I have a large projection screen here."

"..."

……

Sun Weizecheng learned from a passing student council member that the president and Xintong had gone to the president's office together, so he rushed to their destination without stopping. These two usually never saw each other except in class, so the fact that they would meet alone together was enough to pique Sun Weizecheng's gossipy heart. Many earth-shattering secrets are slowly discovered from small details. Ah~ he could no longer suppress his heart that wanted to explore the unknown!

Sun Weizecheng arrived at the door of the chairman's office, took a deep breath, then pressed the doorknob and slowly turned it a quarter of the way open, glancing inside.

I thought I was going to stumble upon some earth-shattering secret! But to my surprise, the first thing I saw was the president and Xintong lying on separate chairs, watching a movie on a projector screen. The two of them were not arguing at all; in fact, they seemed to be getting along very well.

what……

Sun Weize blinked, then calmly closed the door again. Ha... that's it? Sun Weize put his hands behind his back, shook his head dejectedly, and walked back along the corridor the way he came.

P.S.: Extra chapter! Please give me some votes! Updates will still be at the same time tomorrow.

118. A delicate balance?

……

"Heartwarming! Your package has arrived!"

"Okay." Chen Nuanxin agreed, put down what she was doing, put on her cotton slippers, and ran downstairs. Seeing her mother's look of "Why are you buying things randomly again?", Chen Nuanxin could only put on a silly smile, trying to get away with it. Fortunately, she succeeded.

She can't bring herself to say that she now earns a base salary of 30,000 yuan a month, which far exceeds the total monthly income of her parents. However, she has indeed spent more on shopping and will have to be more frugal in the future. This is what her eldest brother taught her: don't let money blind you.

Ang~

What if I'm already being misled?

Chen Nuanxin approached the large styrofoam box on the ground and took a closer look. She realized that it wasn't something she had bought, but rather something her boss had bought for her. Cough cough, this is the daily shopping routine of a student who earns over 30,000 yuan in two months. When she sees something that seems useful, she might think about whether to buy it for herself, but when she buys it for someone else, she's much more direct. Anyway, she won't be the one getting scolded, hehehehehe.

Chen Nuanxin squatted down and touched the foam box, which was still covered with a thin layer of ice. As if realizing something, she quickly walked to the door, opened it, and saw that it was snowing lightly outside.

Wow……

so small.

So cold.

Chen Nuanxin shuddered, then closed the door again. She kicked the heavy styrofoam box to the refrigerator and said to her mother with a smile, "Want steak for dinner?"

But what awaited her was not a good answer, but a loving slap on the forehead from her mother.

Her daughter's unusually high spending still worried her mother. However, when Chen Nuanxin begged for forgiveness and revealed that the money was from Guang Guangchen, her mother stopped doubting it. After all, she knew that Guang Guangchen's family was well-off.

"He's been buying you all sorts of things lately. Does that mean he's pursuing you?"

Chen Nuanxin was still forcefully tearing the tape off the foam box when she heard her mother's words. She almost slipped in her slippers, then frowned slightly, turned to stare at her mother, and said, "Does buying things mean you're pursuing something? Mom, can't you have a higher level of thinking?"

Chen's mother found it somewhat amusing, pointed at herself, and said, "I have no moral compass? I've bought you so much stuff already, this box of steaks alone costs at least four or five hundred. If I didn't like you, why would I buy it for you?"

“Oh, everyone says you don’t understand, Mom. High school students don’t need to date.” Chen Nuanxin mimicked her boss’s classic line, nodding earnestly, and continued, “Besides, my relationship with my boss isn’t that kind of thing; it’s more spiritual, much deeper, much more…”

If you can't find the right adjective for a moment, you'll just have to stop talking.

The whole section collapsed.

Hearing her mother secretly laughing at her, Chen Nuanxin lowered her head slightly in annoyance and looked at her mother with a fierce yet cute gaze.

"What spiritual level? Good is good, bad is bad. Are you still playing that boss and henchman game? Haven't you gotten tired of this game yet?"

"Tsk tsk tsk." Chen Nuanxin shook her right index finger, somewhat disdainfully, and said, "That's no joke, Mom. I've made up my mind. I'll go to the same university as my eldest son."

"Hmm... Hmm? Could it be that this is why you've been working so hard these past two months? You just want to go to university with Guangchang?"

"Yes! And I definitely can do it!" Chen Nuanxin clenched her fist and put the steaks into the freezer one by one. She then stood up, saluted her mother, and said, "Then I'll go study! Please call me when dinner is ready!"

After saying that, Chen Nuanxin put her hands behind her back and ran upstairs.

The mother watched her daughter go upstairs with her hands on her hips, looking slightly helpless, but she still respected her daughter's opinion. She had always thought of her daughter as a child, but on some personal issues, she quickly formed her own unique understanding. The child who she thought would never grow up had finally grown up.

Many things don't need to be said too clearly; Nuanxin surely understands them in her heart. This includes the fact that she and that boy took the college entrance exam together, but they still had to separate after college, right? And why did she want to keep hanging out with that boy? Wasn't it because she felt happy being by his side? Hmm... perhaps this is just the trouble of adolescence.

My mother has been through it all, but she doesn't want to interfere too much in her daughter's life. Look at her now, her daughter is growing up according to her own ideas. Even if the path may not be smooth, it is the path she chose. Someday in the future, when she looks back, she will probably think that it was a good experience.

Without thinking too much about it, Mom turned around and went to cook. Luckily, we had some steak, so let's pan-fry it and see how it turns out.

Upstairs, Chen Nuanxin sat at her desk in her room, which was piled high with study materials. People thought Nuanxin wasn't studying hard and was just relying on talent, but that was all a lie! Chen Nuanxin studied diligently every night! She couldn't help but admire her boss's learning ability; she had improved so quickly in two monthly exams. Luckily, she had also managed to catch up.

Great! Keep up the good work!

Chen Nuanxin got excited and threw herself into her studies once again.

If Guang Chen knew that Nuan Xin was actually studying so hard with him in such a love-obsessed world, he would probably be both amused and exasperated. With such effort, her grades in the next monthly exam should improve significantly.

……

"The student council is organizing a meal? That's no problem." Guangchang agreed. Now everyone in the student council is an old acquaintance, including Qianwen and Nuanxin. They said that since it's almost New Year's Day, to thank everyone for their hard work, they'll all go out for barbecue. The core members will naturally pay for everything, which is just a drop in the ocean.

Many people were mainly looking for the opportunity to meet the core members, since they were rarely seen in the student council classroom. The main ones giving instructions were Chu Ling and Qian Wen, while Nuan Xin didn't care about anything. The other F6 members didn't bother with her either, making her the only free agent among them.
