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

"Good afternoon." Jiang Xintong didn't put on any airs towards Yao Ning. Generally speaking, Yao Ning was also a member of her group! In the most basic sense, yes!

"Yao Ning, what brings you here? Don't you have class today?" Guangchang asked curiously.

Dan Yao Ning was holding a box in her hand, which she then placed on the table. A strong aroma of cookies wafted out. Guang Chen wasn't actually interested in some desserts, but cookies and bread were a different story. The tempting aroma when they were freshly baked made it hard not to want to take a bite.

"Isn't Christmas in a couple of days? There are quite a few international students at my school, so they've decided to give us a long holiday, probably four days?" Shan Yaoning pondered.

Look, Christmas is only four days off, just how crazy is this world?

Wait a minute! Let's think about it again. Is it possible that the world in Guangchang Chen's memory is simply sick, and that people on holiday can genuinely smile...?

“It’s wonderful, but our school will also be holding new events, Yao Ning, you can come and check them out then.” Chen Nuanxin said as she gradually moved closer. With her incredibly sensitive nose, how could she not smell the aroma of the cookies? Her eyes were clearly looking for something.

Dan Yaoning asked softly with a hint of doubt, then smiled and said, "Want some? Cookies, I baked them myself."

"Did Yao Ning bake this herself? Then I definitely have to try it!"

"Yes! This time, I mainly heard from my sister that my brother helped her a lot, so this is a thank-you gift." Shan Yaoning then opened the box, inside which was a row of cookies of different shapes, all of which looked very cute, making Chen Nuanxin not know where to start.

Shan Yaoning distributed the food to everyone before finally coming to Guangchang and offering it to him for a taste.

Guangchang Chen had just eaten lunch not long ago, but he was still craving food. Looking at Nuanxin next to him, he was clearly starving. Yes, high school was a period of pure hunger.

Guangchang took out a piece, tasted it, and found it to be his favorite crunchy texture. He loved it.

Seeing that everyone nodded in satisfaction, Shan Yaoning's nervousness subsided, and she sat down to chat with them.

Yao Ning is a guest, and since we haven't seen each other for a long time, I wanted to ask about her current situation. Yao Ning is a design major, so her future will undoubtedly be as a jewelry designer. In this industry, reputation is often very important. Being born into a family is often considered half the battle won; the next step is to gain recognition within the industry.

"So, Yao Ning, are you going to be a designer in the future?" Chen Nuanxin asked straightforwardly.

“Warm-hearted, you’re just asking a question you already know the answer to. Yao Ning, she…” Guangchang Chen gently shook his head and said.

"No, I want to be a baker in the future," Shan Yaoning said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, the image of Yao Ning instantly appeared in Guangchang's mind: wearing an apron, a hat, and thick gloves, holding a large plate of freshly baked bread, with a big smile on her face.

what……

Surprisingly, it's quite fitting.

Well, it's much better than wanting to be a photographer.

"Open a shop? That sounds good." Jiang Xintong didn't object; on the contrary, she agreed wholeheartedly.

"Mmm~ I support you, Yao Ning. I'll definitely come and visit often." Chen Nuanxin nodded in agreement.

Guangchang glanced at the two of them, thinking, "So, I'm the most old-fashioned one here?" She has billions in assets but doesn't pursue a career; her dream is to open a bakery—not a chain, but one where she genuinely wants to bake herself. However, seeing the pure smile on Yao Ning's face, a smile born of her passion, Guangchang naturally didn't object. Dreams, after all…

"Thank you everyone. Brother, could you please take those cookies from the lower level to the student council for me?"

"What, aren't you going to go yourself?"

"No... I'm not familiar with most of the student council members, so I'll have to trouble you, brother."

Hearing the term "brother," Guang Chen's heart softened. This little thing was nothing; he could leave it to his brother!

"Thank you brother!"

Guangchang Chen was already thinking of going there immediately.

After obtaining the young lady's permission, Guang Chen distributed some cookies, then carried the box to the president's office. Yao Ning was clearly unaware that the classrooms for core members and ordinary members were different in this school, and only a few core members could be in the president's office.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. Guangchang Chen had just visited the president's office because of Shan Yimo's matter, and he didn't have any particular feelings about it. In the past, based on the warm descriptions, he always felt that the core members were a group of mysterious and strange guys, like the bosses in anime whose names and appearances were temporarily hidden. It wasn't until their true personalities were revealed that he found that each one of them was more hilarious than the last.

Guangchang first knocked on the door of the president's office. He heard someone inside say "Come in," so he pushed the door open and went in. The first thing he saw was someone sitting at the main table. He thought it was Yan Xingmeng, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Shan Yimo.

What a coincidence, she's the most convenient person here.

Looking around, it seemed that only Shan Yimo was in the president's office.

In Guangchang's memory, Shan Yimo was Yan Xingmeng's right-hand woman and an extremely loyal fan. All his connections with her had come from the president, Yao Ning... Even if it was an accident, Guangchang saw that she was working seriously, so he picked up the box of cookies, walked to the central rest area, and sat down for a while.

These are all habits left over from spending time with Yan Xingmeng.

Guangchang turned his head to the left and glanced at Shan Yimo, who was working. Her level of seriousness was no less than Yan Xingmeng's, or perhaps one was imitating the other. Guangchang knew about the family situation of the two Shan sisters. As the saying goes, the eldest sister is like a mother. Just by looking at Yao Ning's simple and understanding personality, one could tell whether Shan Yimo was a good older sister or not. Thinking about it, she was really quite remarkable...

133. There's more to the story!

Guang Guangchen was stuck in a long wait. Fifteen minutes passed quickly, but Shan Yimo acted as if he didn't exist and continued with her work. Guang Guangchen looked up at the clock on the opposite wall. If he kept waiting like this, his lunch break would be over.

Immediately, Guang Guangchen made a move, leaning forward and opening the cookie box on the coffee table. After a short while, Shan Yimo, who was immersed in her work, murmured a question, then looked up, glanced at Guang Guangchen, and then at the familiar box on the coffee table.

Guangchang rested his cheek on his right hand, tapping the edge of the coffee table with his left fingertips, and said, "Yao Ning is on holiday from school. She said she baked some cookies and brought them over for everyone to eat. Would you like some cookies first?"

Dan Shanmo inhaled the unique aroma of the biscuits, then glanced at the plan on the table, and finally stood up, walked around the main table, and came over.

Guangchang thoughtfully pushed the cookie box to the side, and Shan Yimo bent down, picked up a cookie with two fingers, put it in her mouth, and then turned back to the main table.

"Hey! Aren't you going to say a word? I've been sitting here for fifteen minutes already."

Do you really think I'm invisible?

Shan Yimo turned her head blankly, chewing the crisp biscuit slowly, just like a little hamster eating, and then said, "What do you want to talk about?"

"At least tell me where the chairman and Old Sun are, okay?" Guangchang Chen sighed.

"They had to leave the school, so I'm the only one here today. The core members' meeting is temporarily canceled."

"Alright, I'll take a few of these cookies back for Qianwen. You can have the rest. You seem to really enjoy them." Guangchang watched as she chewed faster. His younger sister liked baking, so as her older sister, he must have eaten them all along, witnessing her journey from failure to success.

"Delicious." Shan Yimo answered simply, quickly finishing one piece, then walked back, picked up another piece, and continued to gnaw on it. She hadn't had much of an appetite before, but suddenly her appetite returned.

For girls, it seems that staple food, desserts and drinks are absorbed by completely different stomachs. Even if they are full, if you put a bowl of ice jelly in front of them, they will pick it up and slowly finish it.

"I also think it tastes good." Upon hearing that Yan Xingmeng wouldn't be coming back, Guangchang Chen, who had been sitting upright, immediately relaxed, naturally hunching his back slightly. He also took out a cookie from the box and ate it, then casually remarked, "You should have heard Yao Ning mention that she wants to open a bakery in the future, right?"

"Yes, that's right."

"Will this dream face obstacles?" Guangchang was quite curious about this.

"No, if this is her wish, I will definitely overcome all difficulties to help her realize it. Besides, Grandpa also supports her doing so, as long as she is happy."

"Oh...that's quite reasonable." It's good that the plot didn't unfold like the melodramatic soap operas that Guang Chen had in mind.

"May I ask a question that's not on the topic?" Guangchang suddenly asked.

"You can ask first."

"I'm quite curious, is your gentle personality something you were born with, or something you developed later in life?" For example, in order to take on the responsibility of caring for her younger sister, she has to pretend to be a little adult, just to meet the expectations of her grandparents! After all, the future burden of the Shan family will fall on her shoulders. As the successor, and more importantly, for her younger sister's dream, she must stand up! Guang Chen thought of such a classic older sister character, it seems he has seen quite a few in the past.

Upon hearing this, Shan Yimo's expression became slightly unnatural for a moment. She coughed lightly, as if there was indeed something to hide.

"Ha...Are you really curious?"

"If you can say it, I'm willing to listen."

Shan Yimo stared at him, then raised her right hand, poked the gold lion badge on her left sleeve with her fingertip, and said, "Because it looks cool, right?"

Wow... I almost forgot about that.

Guangchang slapped his forehead, only then remembering Shan Yimo's other personal hobby: a love for handsome anime characters. The older sister liked handsome characters, while the younger sister preferred horror characters. The two sisters had different tastes. Because she liked handsome characters, her personality had been influenced by those characters since childhood. A handsome person should maintain a cold and aloof demeanor, like an iceberg. This was the reason why she ultimately chose short hair. In addition, her unexpectedly tall height of 1.76 meters further solidified this persona for her.

At school, Shan Yimo appeared the fewest times, but she still gained a large following and a lot of fans, thanks to her mysterious and aloof image.

The case is solved. There was no deep-seated grudge involved; it was simply due to personal interest.

In the end, it turns out I was the one who overthought things!

Guangchang couldn't help but laugh when he thought about it.

Shan Yimo wasn't stupid; on the contrary, she was quite perceptive. She understood Guang Yuanchen's meaning from his words. Now that there was no one else in the president's office, she could speak freely and said, "You don't need to think about me and Yao Ning. My grandparents have always been very caring towards us. They have very traditional old-fashioned ideas. My impression of my parents isn't very deep anymore, and my impression of Yao Ning is even fainter. So there are no painful stories to tell. Life just goes on like this, day after day."

Guangchang remained silent for a moment, then nodded.

The more he got to know Shan Yimo, the more he felt that beneath that plain face lay an extremely soft heart. Being handsome was her personal preference, not a disguise. Just like someone who likes Kamen Rider, he follows the will of Kamen Rider, which is his true personality. It's just that beneath this personality, there is an extra underlying color. As the time he gets to know her grows, he will become more and more aware of this.

Guangchang could clearly feel Shan Yimo's care for her friend. Being able to be Shan Yimo's close friend was truly a blessing from her past life. Yan Xingmeng was really lucky to meet a good friend like Shan Yimo at this high school.

"Were you already in the student council? When you were a sophomore, the president was just a freshman, right? According to F6, she became president directly in her freshman year, so the original president just stepped down?"

Shan Yimo shook her head after hearing this and said, "I was the president before the president came, but after a month, I don't plan to continue. She is more suitable for the position than I am."

"Oh, is that so... Okay, then I think I know why you chose her. It's because you think she's cool, right? She's quite serious when she's working, and she's also very bold in her actions." Once you put things together like this, everything makes sense. And after spending a long time together, an unbreakable sense of trust and loyalty has been cultivated, so it's understandable that she's completely turned into a little fangirl.

Shan Yimo responded, and once they started chatting, she temporarily put aside her work, stood by the coffee table, and kept eating cookies, seemingly unable to stop.

Thinking about it this way, Guangchang could immediately imagine that if Shan Yimo were to meet a guy she cared about in college or after entering the workforce, he would surely do something cool. Thinking about it this way, Shan Yimo would actually be quite suitable to be the female lead in a Makoto Shinkai movie; those kinds of dramatic and exciting plots would be more likely to attract her attention.

As long as you're by my side! It doesn't matter if Tokyo sinks! Shan Yimo is probably the type who'd fall for that kind of thing, or maybe she likes watching trendy anime like Gurren Lagann and Bleach, so at least they'd have more in common to talk about. But looking at Shan Yimo's current aloof and unapproachable demeanor, it'll probably be quite difficult to meet her.

Oh, right, Shan Yimo just needs a companion, right? It's not like she can't communicate with Nuanxin. Nuanxin is a super encyclopedia of anime and manga, having watched so many cool and trendy shows. It would be a good way for the two of them to occasionally go out to anime conventions and watch some anime movies to pass the time.

feasible.

Guangchang smiled and asked, "How about some animated theatrical films with cool fight scenes?"

"Yeah, no problem."

"OK~ I understand. See you next time. Lunch break is almost over. I'll take these three cookies and go. Bye-bye." Guang Chen quickly grabbed a few tissues, wrapped up the three cookies, waved goodbye to the bewildered Shan Yimo, and walked straight out of the president's office without waiting for her reply.

The president's office fell silent again. A few seconds later, a dull thud was heard from the corner. Shan Yimo's biscuit fell onto the coffee table, shattering into several small pieces of varying sizes. She didn't quite understand what Guangchang's carefree smile meant at the end. Anime movie... see you next time... Could it be... that Guangchang wanted to invite her to see a movie?

No way……

It's impossible no matter how you think about it.

The previous long paragraph was just about friendship, Shan Yimo still didn't believe it, or rather, she believed Guangchang as a person. Then she bent down and cleaned up the cookie crumbs that had fallen on the coffee table.

This is actually a bad habit of Guangchang Chen's thinking. He was thinking about the possible interactions between Shan Yimo and Nuanxin, and subconsciously ignored the misunderstanding in his words. When he said "see you next time", he really only meant "see you next time". It had nothing to do with the previous animated movie. Fortunately, Shan Yimo was very familiar with him and no unnecessary misunderstandings occurred.

Shan Yimo ate two more cookies before closing the box, wiping her hands with a tissue, and then returned to the main table. Her mind was still on the long conversation she had with Guang Guangchen earlier. In fact, there was another crucial reason why she followed the president so much, but she hadn't told Guang Guangchen about it. This reason was something that Shan Yimo would never tell anyone, no matter how much time passed. It was about her own... personality flaw.

134. A bloodthirsty suggestion!

……

"So this trip is pretty much over. It's time to go back. Or maybe you should buy some local snacks to take back since you've come all this way?" Yan Xingmeng seemed to be in a good mood. She had just come out of the house she was visiting. On a bench by the street, Sun Weizecheng was drinking coffee without saying a word. Faced with Yan Xingmeng's high spirits, he himself was rather indifferent.

"It's all right."

"Haha, Christmas Eve is in two days. This year's school activities will be handled entirely by Yimo. I'm planning to ask Guangchang out this weekend. What should we do?" Yan Xingmeng paced back and forth in front of the bench, but her attention was quickly drawn to Wei Zecheng, who was sitting on the bench looking dejected.

"What's wrong? Aren't you usually most excited at times like this?" Yan Xingmeng asked.

Sun Weizecheng shifted his gaze upwards, merely glancing at it, and said casually, "Is that so?"

"Aren't you very supportive of me being with Guangchang? When we talked about this before, you were always eager to know the details, weren't you?"

"Ha..." Sun Weize let out a long exhale, his body slowly leaning back, a deep sense of powerlessness washing over him. He placed his hands on the back of the bench, tilting his head back. It was a gloomy day, perfectly mirroring his gloomy mood. He said, "Anyway, the outcome is the same. Even if it's a date, nothing will happen, right? If you can guess how it will unfold, what's the point of looking forward to it? This is so boring..."

Legendary Fun Man is now losing hope for the president and Guangchang. The reason is that the president was recently influenced by Qianwen and felt that love should be a slow and steady process, gradually entering the other person's personal life and attracting them little by little, but this has made the relationship very boring.

Sun Weizecheng is a bloodthirsty viewer. He has watched the video about that small house, the part where Qianwen and the president are at each other's throats and admitting that they like Guangchang, at least ten times. He thought it was going to explode, but unexpectedly, the president was influenced by Qianwen, and school life suddenly became extremely boring.

Even now, hearing that the president wants to ask Guang Chen out doesn't excite him at all. The outcome is the same anyway, right? Whether he agrees or not, nothing will happen in the end. Ugh! This is so boring!

Sun Weizecheng roared inwardly. Compared to the fun he had experienced before, the scene in the cabin was nothing. But it was also the only decent fun he had recently had. It just didn't ignite his passion at all; he had absolutely no motivation...

Looking at the president in front of him, whose personality had become gentle, he was like a venomous snake whose fangs had been pulled out, looking completely without any sense of pressure.

"Well, there's nothing I can do about it. That's what love is all about. I just want to gradually get closer to Guangchang's heart, but what you've envisioned isn't conducive to our relationship. I guess I'll just have to make you 'suffer' for a while," Yan Xingmeng said with a squinty smile.

Sun Weize sighed again, no longer even bothering to acknowledge him.

Whether there are any brave souls willing to step forward and stir up this mess to make it truly solidify remains to be seen.

"If you're not buying anything, then let's go back."

"Ah."

Yan Xingmeng and the other person then chose to return. Throughout the journey, Sun Weizecheng remained in a half-dead state. Before the start of this semester, he was actually in this state quite often. Most of the time, he could be seen lying motionless on the sofa in the president's office during his breaks. However, since the unexpected appearance of Guang Yuchen not long after the start of this semester, Sun Weizecheng has basically left that sofa and has his own new things to do every day. But judging from his current appearance, it seems that he will have to continue lying down when he gets back.

Looking through the car window at the buildings rushing past, Sun Weize's eyes were empty. He desperately needed a major change to reignite his inner fire. If the chairman and Guangchang really did become a couple and their relationship slowly blossomed into a normal romance, Sun Weize would congratulate them, but deep down, he would still feel a profound sense of loss...

Sun Weizecheng rested his chin on his left hand, remaining silent. Even when Yan Xingmeng tried to talk to him, he did not respond at all.

……

"Eh? Is there such a thing?"

“Yes, that’s right, let’s just consider it a chance to make friends. Do you have time this weekend?” Guangchang nodded to himself, sitting in his classroom seat, turning to his deskmate Nuanxin as he described the situation.

“That’s possible. Ah! I remember now, when I first met Shan Yimo, she was drawn to the badge on my backpack. She’s kind of a fan of anime, isn’t she?” Chen Nuanxin said, stroking her chin thoughtfully.
