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

"That person is..."

"It looks pretty ordinary."

"Don't judge a book by its cover..."

Guangchang Chen was surrounded by a barrage of noise. Why was it so noisy? Because he had heard such comments so many times over the past two or three days that his ears were practically calloused. Now, wherever he went, he would be recognized by other students. He had been just an ordinary passerby, but suddenly he had become a celebrity.

He was stared at with curiosity while he went out to use the restroom, which made him feel helpless.

The reason for this lies in the issue of Chu Ling, a newly joined F6 member, a few days ago. Since that day, the two sides have met more and more often. Chu Ling himself has been promoting Guang Guangchen's deeds in his own small group. In addition, Guang Guangchen is already familiar with Zhou Qianwen. Now he has direct contact with two F6 members, so his popularity has naturally skyrocketed.

Furthermore, there are rumors that Guang Chen is the one who truly helped the two devise strategies, making him seem mysterious and enigmatic. Although he is currently just an ordinary member, his status should not be simply regarded as that of an ordinary member.

That's really enough...

Guangchang sighed deeply. There were actually people saying that he had manipulated Zhou Qianwen's ranking first in the grade. Under such serious and fair rules as the opening exams, how could he possibly manipulate it? And what kind of things was Chu Ling saying…?

After relieving himself, he returned to the classroom, where the situation was just as intense, with furtive glances and...

"Boss! I heard you're going to become 'King'?" Chen Nuanxin's eyes sparkled as she turned around and asked.

Not only her, but even Zhou Qianwen was pleasantly surprised to see him return. She carried a bag of things to his desk and said, "Guang, I bought some cake. Would you like a piece?"

Guangchang remained silent, glancing sideways and noticing that the whispers among the other students had become more pronounced.

That's it, that's why I've been the subject of these rumors.

what……

"Why are you sighing? Is the flavor not right? There are chocolate, vanilla, and matcha flavors inside..." Zhou Qianwen opened the bag and searched through it.

"Boss, aren't you going to eat?" Chen Nuanxin asked, biting on a small plastic spoon and opening her eyes wide.

To be precise, both girls were staring straight at him.

Ok……

After much deliberation, Guangchang made a decision.

"I eat vanilla."

Who cares? We'll deal with whatever comes our way.

……

"Student council to change location?"

Guangchang received this message: ordinary student council members usually just go to the student council classroom, get some tasks assigned, and then return to their respective classrooms. Overall, it's quite boring.

Ordinary decisions are not something that ordinary members like them can make.

Guangchang was told to gather at the school's botanical garden. What were they going to do? Pick strawberries, practicing what they preached?

Everything about it seemed strange.

Despite the ongoing discussions surrounding him, Guang Chen still went. He gradually grew accustomed to them and ignored them all. He then walked through the main building and, upon arriving at the entrance of the botanical garden, looked through the transparent glass at the various sections inside. He then touched the handrail and opened the door.

A scent of earth wafts over. Everyone has a bit of a fetish for unusual smells, and most people can probably tolerate the smell of earth, while some are even interested in the smell of gasoline and rubber.

Guangchang walked on the marble bricks, looked around, and found that no one else was there. The alarm in his mind was already blaring.

Then there was a click, the sound of something locking.

He turned around and saw a large padlock fastened between the two door handles. The key was pulled out and then stuffed into his pocket. Guang Chen was no stranger to the person who did this; it was the student council president.

Yan Xingmeng, a name with a dreamy feel, reminded Guang Chen of the three Xia sisters. But in reality, her personality seemed to be more "fun" than he imagined. Born into an extremely wealthy family, manipulating subordinates and finding amusement was a typical part of her student life.

Yan Xingmeng stared at him, showing no intention of speaking first, and maintained a faint smile on her lips.

Guangchang had no choice but to greet him first, raising his right hand and saying, "Yo, Chairman."

"Oh? Isn't that a bit too impolite? Shouldn't it be even more..." Yan Xingmeng's words trailed off, as if she had thought of something. Her smile widened, and she lowered her head slightly. "I almost forgot, Guangchang Chen, you've become a celebrity now? The mastermind behind the manipulation of two F6 members, how impressive."

The phrase "amazing" sounds incredibly intriguing.

"Please don't say that. It's purely a coincidence. Qianwen and I are just friends, and my relationship with Chu Ling was just ordinary social interaction," Guangchang Chen explained calmly.

Yan Xingmeng looked the boy up and down, still showing no sense of caution about her identity, just like the first time she met him.

“Yes…that’s the attitude, so I have to say that Guangchang Chen, you’re a special person.” Yan Xingmeng’s boots lightly tapped the ground, causing the soil on the stone bricks to tremble. The entire botanical garden was empty except for the two of them.

Why does everyone say that?

“I don’t know what others say, but I have my own judgment.” Yan Xingmeng raised her right index finger and continued, “Do you remember the last oil painting class?”

"You mean that time you came to the beginner class wearing a mask, trying to show off?" Guangchang asked bluntly.

Yan Xingmeng's eyes flashed with surprise, then she pointed at him and said, "Yes! It's that sense of offense that's why I said you're special... In that oil painting class, I really had my doubts about you. After all, it's too strange for a second-year high school student not to know me. But after observing you, you really seem to not care about me at all. That sense of distance can't be faked. Bold actions often lead to two extreme results: either you get noticed, or you're..."

"that is?"

“I’m being bullied all the time,” Yan Xingmeng said in a deep voice.

"..."

"Just kidding." Yan Xingmeng waved her hand and continued, "Besides, we've already won the bet, Guangchang."

"So, the president sent me this false message just to verify it a second time?" Guangchang asked.

"Half and half. The other half is that I want to chat with you, Guangchang Chen." Yan Xingmeng smiled with her eyes narrowed. Her thick eyelashes were like a heavy makeup, and her deep features, without any careful sculpting, naturally gave people a sense of beauty.

Sigh, you can't compare to me in terms of beauty.

"So that's how it is." Guangchang looked around and finally his gaze fell on the two small stools on the side.

……

The two sat down in a row.

There was drinking water in the botanical garden, and the two of them poured themselves a glass of ice water. In the hot weather, whether their stomachs could handle a glass of ice water was another matter, but Guangchang felt refreshed.

Yan Xingmeng sat on the right, her legs stretched out in front of her, showing none of her usual haughty demeanor, which made Guangchang Chen feel a bit more real about her.

"Is there anything you'd like to talk about, President?"

“Either is fine.” Yan Xingmeng said, leaning forward, cupping her cheeks with her hands, resting her elbows on her thighs, and turning her head to look at Guang Yuchen.

-------

P.S.: My eyes are all better now! During the free period, I can only update twice a day due to ranking for recommendations, but I'll be updating more frequently later. Thanks for your support!

14. The wave of love is coming!

"The scope of 'anything is fine' is too broad..." Guang Chen was not very interested. If it weren't for the fact that the key was still in Yan Xingmeng's hands, he probably would have left long ago.

"Hmm... let's talk about something more meaningful, like your next plan."

"What's next? The next ten minutes, or the future?"

"Guangdong Chen, do you intend to do something to me in the next ten minutes?" Yan Xingmeng's voice deepened, and her eyes gradually lengthened as she smiled with narrowed eyes. To be precise, her voice was quite magnetic, meaning it had depth. When she acted cute, it sounded like an older sister talking in your ear.

However, the president might actually be older than me.

Guangchang thought for a moment, then skipped the question and said, "I don't have any special plans for this school. I just want to study hard and get into a good university in the future."

"But I've seen your grades; you're only in the middle range."

"You have a bit of a twisted sense of humor," Guangchang said, giving her a glare. "Can't you start working hard in your second year of high school?"

"I see. Suddenly realizing that I want to become a good student is not a bad decision."

"I don't want to get involved with too many people, including being suddenly pulled into the student council by you. If it weren't for the extra points, I wouldn't even have thought of coming."

“I understand. What about outside of studying?” Yan Xingmeng asked again.

"Besides studying... a leisurely campus life would be best, as long as... I don't experience any strange romantic encounters." Guangchang pursed his lips and complained. He knew that this world was full of people obsessed with romance, so he would inevitably encounter some such things. Right now, he just wanted to study hard and have a normal college life! He didn't want to think about dating for the time being.

Upon hearing this, Yan Xingmeng softly said, "Oh, so it's Guangchang Chen who doesn't want to be in a relationship."

"Dating is absolutely forbidden."

"Strange thoughts. Why would I have such thoughts? Could it be that I was hurt by someone? Cao Ruoyu?"

Yan Xingmeng really dug up his past thoroughly, even knowing that his predecessor had pursued Cao Ruoyu, and probably knew much more than that!

"How could that be? It has nothing to do with her. I just feel that college romances are neither real nor have a future, and dating definitely affects studies, right? It's all just hormones at play. You've probably seen it, haven't you? People rush into class to confess their love. All sorts of coincidental romantic events create a wrong connection between two complete strangers, entangled and tormenting each other. In my opinion, that's a very unhealthy dating process." Guangchang Chen spoke frankly; he still didn't have a high opinion of high school romances. If college relationships are unstable, what's so special about high school?

“That makes some sense.” Yan Xingmeng lightly tapped her pale skin with her left index finger, which was resting on her cheek. As the student council president, the leader of the core members of F6, and the daughter of a very influential political figure in the country, it was already strange enough that she could sit here quietly and listen to Guangchang Chen talk about these things.

"So what do you think true love should be like?" Yan Xingmeng asked.

Guangchang Chen, a 28-year-old office worker in his previous life, may not have entered into marriage, but he still has some say in matters of love. Others may want to criticize him, but he still insists on this point of view: "Ideally, two people should like each other, and in reality, they should have economic support. I don't think there is anything wrong with love itself. On the contrary, sincere and pure love is very rare, and most people will never encounter it."

"Hey, Guangchang Chen, you're still a pure lover."

"Actually, everyone has a pure love hidden deep down, it's just that the world is too magical." Guangchang shrugged, and the two chatted about this topic, one sentence after another. It seemed that Yan Xingmeng was trying to understand a different perspective through his words, but Guangchang could also sense that Yan Xingmeng was not just doing it for fun, but also wanted to know the actual situation on campus from him.

After all that, he's still a hands-on president.

Fifteen minutes later, Guangchang Chen made an excuse to go to the toilet and tried to escape. Yan Xingmeng did not stop him. She patted her pocket, took out a key, and handed it to him.

"Thank you," Guangchang said politely, taking the keys, standing up, and walking straight to the front door.

Just as the lock was being opened, Yan Xingmeng's voice came from behind again.

"However, there is one idea that may differ from yours. Sometimes, once the winds of love start blowing, they can't be stopped just because you decide to. Once these winds are mixed with huge waves, their destructive power can be quite astonishing."

It's not something I can just stop whenever I decide to...

Guangchang hesitated for a moment, then turned around, shook the key in his hand, and said, "Thanks for the reminder."

Unlock the door and go out.

At that moment, Guangchang was still unaware of the devastating impact of the other party's words.

……

ten minutes later.

Guang Chen leaned against the railing outside the classroom. He was a little annoyed that he had been tricked into having a one-on-one chat. Fortunately, it wasn't about wanting to be his true self, but he should still keep a low profile in the future.

"Boss, boss, you're back." Chen Nuanxin's voice came from the side.

"Mm," Guangchang responded softly.

"Boss, are you tired from the student council work? You don't seem to be in a good mood. Want me to give you a shoulder massage?" Chen Nuanxin seemed unusually obsequious at this moment. Strange, he hadn't offered to treat her to anything today.

"Is something the matter? Just say it. Did you do something wrong?"

"No, no, that's not it... um... Boss, I won't beat around the bush then, Qianwen... I have something to tell you."

Qianwen?

Guangchang turned his head this time, and behind Nuanxin, Zhou Qianwen was pulled forward by her. Seeing that Qianwen seemed to be stammering, it was as if she had something to say.

Zhou Qianwen was so nervous that she clenched her thumb knuckles tightly, but thinking about the heartwarming psychological counseling she had received over the past two days, she decided to be brave this time!

"Guang, Guang! Zhou, do you have time this weekend?" Zhou Qianwen mustered up her courage and asked, her face flushed red, down to her ears and neck.

These words, this appearance...

Guangchang was completely stunned.

He could only vaguely hear the words Yan Xingmeng had said to him not long ago before he left.

"Sometimes, once the winds of love start blowing, they won't stop just because you decide to..."

It's true, the wind is picking up...

15. The tree may wish to stop, but the wind will not cease.

Or was it just an illusion? Guang Chen stared intently, and then Zhou Qianwen's favorability rating appeared, showing 42 points. 40 points is the level of favorability between men and women. Once it exceeds this value, all the balance of the relationship will be broken.

Guang Chen was stunned. Qianwen actually liked him? He was speechless for a moment, while Zhou Qianwen in front of him was still nervously waiting for his reply.

"Are we supposed to do something?"

The fact that they weren't directly rejected meant there was hope! A hint of surprise flashed in both Zhou Qianwen's and Chen Nuanxin's eyes. Zhou Qianwen kept telling herself that she should speak up now and slowly muster up her courage. She had been considering this decision for several days.

"Ever since I joined the student union, we haven't been able to get together, so I was wondering if you, Guang, are free this weekend."

"You mean the three of us?" Guangchang glanced at Chen Nuanxin.

Startled by the sudden mention, Chen Nuanxin turned to look at Zhou Qianwen. At this moment, Zhou Qianwen's breathing became rapid. She tried to calm herself down and then nodded emphatically: "Yes! The three of us!"
