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

"Hmm~ The main thing is that if you two have common interests, you can spend more time together. It's good to be alone, you can feel that too, right? Just think of it as deepening your friendship," Guangchang said.

Anyway, school life is so repetitive every day, and he is indeed quite bored. Being able to help his two friends strengthen their friendship seems to fit the plot of a high school student celebrating youth. Cough, of course, the monthly exam is coming up next Monday. Guang Chen swears that he didn't really consider this at first. Besides, a short rest before a big battle usually increases strength, at least that's what the anime says.

"Sure," Chen Nuanxin said, giving an OK sign.

"So, are you going, boss?"

"As for me, it depends on the situation; I might go."

It's also possible that they will study at home.

It's fifty to fifty.

"Oh, let me see what anime are showing this weekend and recommend them to Shan Yimo." Chen Nuanxin bent down, took out her phone from the drawer, and started searching. Guangchang Chen, who seemed very satisfied with his good deed, nodded and silently took out his phone as well. The moment he turned on the screen, he saw a WeChat message from Yan Xingmeng.

Yan Xingmeng rarely sends him WeChat messages. Recently, the president has felt that his momentum is inexplicably lacking. In the past, when Guangchang went to the botanical garden, he always felt a sense of apprehension. But after he went there last week, that feeling was significantly less. Sure enough, it's because his favorability rating has increased.

Yan Xingmeng's WeChat message was very simple; she was inviting him to go out on the weekend. Guangchang immediately refused, and he also decisively declined in his reply. After all, the current president was really too weak! He believed that refusing wouldn't make her angry.

Sure enough, a positive response was received in no time.

See? It's perfectly fine.

Coincidentally, only fifteen minutes later, Jiang Xintong sent him another WeChat message, also wanting to ask him out.

Hahahaha! I saw through that trick a long time ago. You still want to take on one of us? No way! I'm going to study hard this weekend! Guang Chen then decisively rejected the young lady's invitation, his attitude clearly much more confident.

It's fair to say that Guangchang Chen is getting a bit cocky now, but he still doesn't take it seriously.

……

As usual, Sun Weize bought a hot drink downstairs in the main building and went upstairs. But today he felt unusually heavy-hearted and had no energy for anything. Holding the handrail, he slowly went upstairs. Anyway, once he got to the president's office, he would go straight to the sofa for a nap. Ah, why not just lie down on the spot? The stimulation from the cold floor was much stronger than his current life.

Sun Weize sighed. When he arrived at the president's office, he put one hand on the doorknob, slowly opened the door, and peeked inside. The moment he did, he felt that something was not right.

His attention was immediately drawn to the main table. This was Sun Weizecheng's unique sense of pressure! His gaze only saw the president lying there, seemingly taking a nap, but why did he feel an inexplicable sense of oppression? Sun Weizecheng didn't know if he was imagining things, and even his steps into the room became cautious.

Upon arriving at the central rest area, Sun Weize opened his mouth, but did not want to disturb the chairman's rest. Just then, Yan Xingmeng, who had been lying down, slowly sat up and looked at him.

That powerful aura crashed down like a wall, waking Sun Weize up. He blinked repeatedly, only then noticing that the president's face no longer had that feigned, gentle smile; instead, it was indifferent.

The calmer he seemed, the more it indicated that the chairman was not in a good mood. Sun Weize asked in a low voice, "Um, chairman, has something happened?"

"Hmm." Yan Xingmeng responded softly without offering any explanation.

"Um...did something go wrong with inviting Guangchang Chenshang?"

"Yes, he refused."

"Ah...this is pretty normal...maybe she made plans with someone else."

“That’s right, you’re absolutely right about that.” Yan Xingmeng said coldly, twirling the pen in her hand before pointing her finger at Sun Weizecheng.

"That must be either Xintong or his little follower, right?"

"There's also someone unexpected."

"Who?"

“Yi Mo is going too. I asked Yi Mo, and it seems that Guang Chen specially arranged this trip to promote the friendship between Yi Mo and Nuan Xin. He may also go himself.”

"Huh? What kind of friend game is this?" Sun Weizecheng seemed to be watching some kind of movie or TV show about friendship and bonds. Are people from Guangdong doing this kind of thing now?

"Wei Zecheng, tell me... have I been a little too lenient with Guangchang Chentai?"

Yan Xingmeng's words hit the nail on the head. Upon hearing this, Sun Weizecheng's nerves suddenly tightened. Here it comes! His next answer could very well be the turning point of his fate! Sun Weizecheng's heart, which had been dormant, began to beat again at this moment. His blood was surging and his adrenaline was constantly rising.

For the sake of the chairman, and for his own amusement, he is about to make some bloodthirsty suggestions!

Say goodbye to this shitty, boring daily life!

135. A strong possessive desire!

But it's precisely at such crucial moments that you shouldn't overdo it; you should proceed gradually, little by little...

Sun Weize's breathing quickened; his excitement made it hard for him to hold his breath. But hold it! This is the real crucial moment!

Sun Weizecheng pretended to be nonchalant, then sat down on the sofa, lazily leaned to the side, rested his head on the armrest, and said leisurely, "Isn't this exactly what you wanted, Chairman? A slow and steady approach, just like you said yesterday."

"That's why I wanted to ask your opinion now. You seem to have some different views on my approach. I've been following this idea the whole time, but why isn't the situation improving?" Yan Xingmeng was genuinely curious about this. When she heard Qianwen explain her theory, she was deeply impressed and felt that this was an essential part of fostering a relationship. But now, two weeks later, the number of times she met with Guangchang Chen was gradually decreasing...

She didn't understand, so she wanted to figure it out.

"So you've finally realized that, President? I guarantee you, the more you follow this theory, the further you'll drift apart from Guangchang. That's what I'm saying." Sun Weizecheng spoke casually, but his heart was already churning. He felt, he felt he was gradually taking control of everything!

Ah ~

"is that so?"

"of course."

"You mean, Qianwen's theory is wrong?"

"No, it's not that Qianwen's theory is wrong, but that it only applies to herself and not to you, the president!"

Finally, Sun Weizecheng got up with the help of the sofa, and was about to enter the second stage!

Sun Weizecheng turned his head, his lazy gaze now much more serious, meeting Yan Xingmeng's eyes at the main table. Then, his voice rose as he said, "President! Don't forget, the only time so far that Guangchang was ever moved by you!"

Shan Yimo had already informed him about this matter. The three core members always shared information quickly, so that when they needed to know something, they could get the information from others as soon as possible.

"The moment you fell for me..."

"Yes! Not for Qianwen, but for you, President! Did any theory hold true back then? There's no single way to love. Some people are drawn to Qianwen's approach, but others aren't. Plus, now that you're relying too much on Qianwen's theories, you're seeing Guangchang even less often. Look at him now, he can openly reject you, just because he thinks you won't blame him. He'd rather watch Chen Nuanxin and Yimo's 'friends' game' than go on a date with you, President. Doesn't that say something?"

"President...you are gradually losing your personality...when you are no longer yourself, what will you have left to attract others? Don't forget, you are Yan Xingmeng, the daughter of one of the top companies in the country. How come you are as docile as a kitten in front of Guangchang Chen? Just because you like him? Eh...the high and mighty president can also fall into love and become an ordinary person? This really surprises me."

In the end, Sun Weizecheng even resorted to sarcasm and provocation, spreading his hands and shaking his head.

Yu Guangzhong and Sun Weize felt that the powerful pressure was even more intense and overwhelming than when they first entered the chairman's office. It wasn't enough! At this point, they needed to add some more potent measures!

"I heard from Yi Mo that this event was actually arranged specifically for the two of them by Guang Chan. Thinking about it that way, isn't your priority ranking a bit too low, President?"

Yan Xingmeng fell silent. However, her outburst at this moment displeased Sun Weizecheng. He wanted to suppress this emotion and release it gradually in the days to come. So, let's return to our individuality! President! Let Guangchang Chen remember what kind of role you truly play!

Awe! Once you've confirmed that someone likes you, that initial awe for them will gradually fade, and things will only get worse!

Sun Weizecheng made a bombshell statement that he was unsure whether to say or not. Well, he's decided to say it!

"Or are you saying, President, that you've already admitted defeat?"

"Admit defeat?" This was a rather sensitive word for Yan Xingmeng. After a few seconds of silence, Yan Xingmeng finally asked, "Do you think that my loss of personality led to this result...?"

"No, I didn't say that. If I were certain, wouldn't the result be no different from what Qianwen said? I said there's no single theory about love. Maybe what I'm saying now isn't right either, but the couples I've seen who can truly stay together for a long time are all those who completely follow their own path. If you, President, are a beautiful but prickly flower, then don't choose to remove your thorns. The sense of danger that comes with being with you is also part of your personal charm."

"Even if you fail in the future, it's not your fault. But if you succeed, the sweetest fruit of love will surely be the one you reap."

Sun Weizecheng spoke a lot in one breath, without any prior preparation, but it seemed that it was already imprinted in his brain beforehand, and he released it all fluently and without missing a single word!

He felt a burning sensation in his brain! Ah, his brain was trembling.

Sun Weizecheng's words were very much like something out of an idol drama. This was his understanding of the way of love, while also trying to absolve himself of any responsibility. Sigh, if things didn't work out in the future, wouldn't it be terrible to be held responsible? He didn't want to be questioned by the president so long later, so he said that there was no fixed theory about love. He was simply a genius who came up with ideas in a moment of inspiration!

To be honest, Sun Weizecheng did have a bit of a personal motive. After all, life had been incredibly boring lately… He occasionally wanted some sensational news to grab attention, right? In general, Sun Weizecheng was a staunch supporter of the association's president. Continuing like this would only make the people of Guangzhou increasingly lazy, with absolutely no positive impact. He didn't want a president who was like a docile kitten; he wanted someone more bloodthirsty and more confrontational…

Sun Weize has finished speaking; now it remains to be seen how far the chairman can process this.

Anyway, the people who need to be blocked are from the Guangdong people, so what does it have to do with me?

Sun Weize remained calm, thinking that it was rather awkward to just sit there, so he got up and went to the water dispenser on the left to pour himself some water.

Just then, Yan Xingmeng's voice came from behind.

"Yes."

Those two simple words sent a chill down Sun Weize's spine, because the voice carried a hint of laughter. In such a serious and tense moment, instead of being angry, he was laughing? This was even more unexpected than Sun Weize had anticipated; in fact, this was exactly what was going on.

Sun Weize slowly turned around, and the first thing he saw was the chairman with a squinting smile.

President, you're back...

His right hand trembled involuntarily, and then his tone suddenly became humble as he said, "Would you like some tea? We have some new tea that just arrived these past two days."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you." Yan Xingmeng's tone remained gentle.

There was a scene from a horror movie he watched when he was a kid, where the villain kept injecting all sorts of things into the evil creature to enhance its power, but in the end, he couldn't suppress it anymore, and the evil creature was born out of nowhere. For some reason, Sun Weize suddenly recalled that scene.

“Okay…” Sun Weize’s momentum waned, and he weakly agreed.

Just as he was about to turn around to pour tea, Yan Xingmeng's voice rang out again, saying, "I have a new idea for tomorrow's Christmas Eve activities."

"Oh?"

"You can look forward to it!" Yan Xingmeng said, her narrowed eyes gradually widening. The scene seemed perfectly harmonious, but Sun Weizecheng was already itching to run away. But then again, were there any new activities planned for tomorrow? How nice…

……

"Huh?" Jiang Xintong stared incredulously at Guang Guangchen's simple statement in the WeChat chat box that he wouldn't be going this time. Where was the explanation? In the past, whenever there were other arrangements, he would always find a reason for himself, which would give Jiang Xintong a way out. But Jiang Xintong waited for a long time and didn't receive a reply from Guang Guangchen about why he wouldn't go, which made her face gradually darken.

Have I been too nice to him lately? What's that called again? Taking advantage of his kindness? Don't be so arrogant! I just thought one scarf wasn't enough for you, so I gave you an extra one. We're friends, but we're still in a superior-subordinate relationship!

Who gave him such courage?

Jiang Xintong's brain worked at lightning speed, and she quickly conjured up a person in her mind, and only this person.

Yan Xingmeng.

Only she had the power to make Guangchang disobey her orders.

Could it be that Guangchang's relationship with Yan Xingmeng has really improved after their last mountain climb? Is she no longer able to ask him out on her own?

That can't be right. They hardly have any time to talk. Guangchang still comes to the group classroom almost every day, so they shouldn't have any time to meet!

That's not correct.

Guang Guangchen could still chat with Yan Xingmeng on WeChat, and they had a lot of private time. She had no idea where Guang Guangchen was. It was the mountain climbing trip that put them on the right track, and there was even a possibility that they might...

Jiang Xintong became more and more shocked as she thought about it, her eyes widening. At the same time, that familiar feeling of tightness in her chest returned. More than the shock, she felt a faint sense of loss. Jiang Xintong slumped her upper body on the table, looking listless. But this was supposed to be the original plan, so why was she feeling so down?

And then there was that time we were hiking, and I somehow managed to grab Guangchang's right hand... What on earth happened...?

136. Forced love!

……

"They said there will be an event on campus on Christmas Eve, and the school will be closed on Christmas Day, is that right?" Guangchang asked curiously. It was always good to ask Qianwen about this arrangement, after all, she was also one of the core members of the student council.

"Yes, that's the current arrangement. There should be an announcement later."

"So what kind of activities are we going to do?" Chen Nuanxin leaned over and asked, swaying her body.

“I heard there’s a dance,” Guangchang replied, turning his head.

"Hmph~ an activity for the upper class." Chen Nuanxin was pretty indifferent to dances and the like. She only went to ballroom dancing with her boss to make up for the lack of credits for special courses. If the activity was a dance, she really didn't want to stay there.

"Not only is there a dance, but I heard there will also be fireworks. It's not far from New Year's Day, and the students in the school will definitely go home for the holidays. Some of them will also go back to their hometowns. They will definitely not be in the same city. So the president's idea is to hope that the students in the school can unite as one. Setting off fireworks is a memorable experience," Zhou Qianwen explained.

"Fireworks, huh? Not bad at all." Guangchang nodded. He didn't have a deep impression of fireworks anymore. It was common knowledge that fireworks were banned in cities. Many families would still set them off secretly, but he figured that the spectacular fireworks display at midnight would never happen again.

If we really set off fireworks, it would be a way to make up for some of my past regrets.

"Setting off fireworks on a Western holiday, hmm, that's classy." Chen Nuanxin pouted, also indicating her approval.

The student council finally put together a decent event. In the past, the events were mostly fun competitions. They seemed like a competition between everyone to relax, but in reality, it was a contest between Yan Xingmeng and Jiang Xintong. The competition usually ended quickly after one of them lost.

Essentially, it's just a playful thing. Sometimes, Guangchang doesn't really want to compete with others. Occasional relaxation makes people feel comfortable. Although this can lead to a repetitive daily life, isn't the essence of life a process that one can accept?

When Yan Xingmeng was mentioned, Guangchang Chen realized that since he confirmed that her feelings for him had transcended romantic feelings and reached the level of liking, none of the terrible things he had imagined might happen had occurred. On the contrary, Yan Xingmeng's personality had become softer because of this affection. In short, nothing bad happened.

At first, Guang Chen was worried that this might be the calm before the storm, but as time passed, his wariness gradually faded. Perhaps Yan Xingmeng's way of liking someone was different from what he imagined? Maybe she would become a more obedient person? What about the future...?

Um... Guangchang still can't imagine Yan Xingmeng being that soft and gentle.

As for another matter that Guangchang Chen was concerned about, it was about Jiang Xintong. Having learned from her recent illogical actions, Guangchang Chen became cautious. After that mountain climb, he did confirm that the young lady's favorability rating was 39 points. However, after the examples of Yan Xingmeng and Qianwen, he summarized the important reason for this breakthrough in favorability rating. Favorability rating is not strengthened by breakthrough, but rather strengthened first before breakthrough. To reach 60 points, a new trait is needed.

Despite having a 39-point favorability rating, Guang Chen was worried about the possibility that Jiang Xintong might like him even for a day. Thinking about it, it was actually quite unsettling. It was the illusion of being liked by someone. He used to trust this favorability rating so much, but now, because of this new discovery, he was becoming anxious.

"Boss, will the weekend plans change?" Chen Nuanxin's sudden question brought Guangchang Chen back to his senses.

Guangchang's eyes gradually cleared, his gaze sparkling. Oh right! He almost forgot the most important thing! He had arranged a movie meeting with Nuanxin and Shan Yimo, but as for himself, after much thought, he finally decided to stay home and study properly. Just thinking about it made him feel rushed. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day were connected to the weekend, and the monthly exams would start right after the weekend. The schedule was too tight.

Besides, Nuanxin isn't a child anymore. Does she need to elaborate on making friends? Shan Yimo appears cold on the outside, but she is exceptionally soft on the inside. If the two of them have compatible hobbies and become closer friends, doesn't that seem more like what a normal high school student should do?

"Of course it won't change." Guangchang's lips curled up. "You go ahead and make friends, I'm going to study hard now."
