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

Guangchang patted him on the shoulder, and Sun Weizecheng felt extremely guilty, his body trembling subconsciously. This scene surprised the managers and others watching from not far away, and they were all very curious about who this new boy was!

Seeing his expression, Guangchang smiled helplessly and said, "Don't be nervous, things aren't as bad as you think..."

"Oh?" Sun Weizecheng stopped trembling and turned to look at Guangchang Chen in confusion.

Then Guang Chen told Sun Weizecheng about what he experienced on Christmas Eve. He mentioned that he would no longer be a conflicted person, so he could speak frankly with Lao Sun about this matter. As a fun-loving person, when Lao Guang admitted that there was still a possibility between the two of them, Sun Weizecheng was so surprised that he covered his mouth. Then, when he heard that the chairman rushed up and hugged him, he was even more shocked.

As for whether the botanical garden has surveillance cameras, only Yan Xingmeng knows the answer. But if it does, Sun Weizecheng would be willing to kneel down and beg her!

Sun Weizecheng never expected that the relationship between the two would take a new turn under such circumstances. So, does that mean his advice was somewhat helpful?

Thinking of this, Sun Weizecheng's hunched back straightened up a little.

What surprised him even more was that the Guangdong people's thinking was no longer a complete denial; the chairman had actually managed to break through a small opening!

Sun Weizecheng's breathing became rapid, and he didn't dare to interrupt at all throughout the entire listening session; that's what makes a qualified listener.

Once the fragrant claypot rice was served, Guangchang finished speaking and began to use a spoon to scoop up the crispy rice crust, drizzle with sauce, and stir the claypot rice.

Sun Weizecheng was stunned for a long time. After he came to his senses, he looked out the window and thanked God for the unexpected arrangements that allowed him to taste such delicious food.

"So, you and..." Sun Weizecheng hurriedly started to ask, but then abruptly stopped, becoming somewhat dazed. He pressed his right index finger knuckle to his lips, then shook his head and muttered to himself, "It's better not to ask. Asking might cause trouble..."

"Is claypot rice delicious?"

"It's surprisingly delicious. Why bother making coffee? Just sell claypot rice instead," Guangchang said bluntly.

After eating and drinking his fill, Guangchang ordered a shaved ice dessert, saying that this shop sells everything.

Holding their shaved ice, the two left the coffee shop, enjoying the refreshing coolness as they walked.

Guang Guangchen glanced at Lao Sun, who was still engrossed in his work, and didn't interrupt him. To be honest, the fact that he agreed to come over meant that he was already willing to tell Lao Sun about this matter. On one hand, it was because the two had a good relationship. On the other hand, Guang Guangchen was actually somewhat grateful to Lao Sun for guiding this matter. It was because Lao Sun had pushed Yan Xingmeng, which in turn had pushed Guang Guangchen himself. Otherwise, Guang Guangchen probably would have remained conflicted for a long time.

I remember watching a movie where a monster girl fed on the sins of others, while Old Sun needed to absorb some entertaining information to replenish his spiritual nourishment, otherwise he would be listless all day.

When they reached the intersection, Guangchang thought about checking on Shan Yimo and Nuanxin's situation and asked Lao Sun about his destination. As expected, Sun Weizecheng shook his head and refused. At this moment, he had no interest in the daily friendships of these little girls.

"Okay, are you going straight back then?"

"almost."

"Then I'll walk you a couple of steps."

"Alright."

Guangchang accompanied Sun Weizecheng to the open-air parking lot. He had almost finished eating the shaved ice in his hand. Ah, his head was starting to hurt... Just as the two of them turned the corner, they unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance.

Their eyes met, and they unexpectedly encountered Jiang Xintong here.

Sun Weizecheng even raised his hand to greet him directly.

Jiang Xintong, carrying shopping bags, looked at the two of them with a somewhat blank expression. She glanced at Wei Zecheng and then at Guangchang.

She remembered sending Guang Guangchen a WeChat message on Wednesday to ask him out on Saturday, but he had rejected her outright. Yet now he was with Wei Zecheng? Wasn't he with Yan Xingmeng? Jiang Xintong's eyes widened in surprise.

“Why is it…” Jiang Xintong pointed at the two of them.

Guang Guangchen and Sun Weizecheng tilted their heads in unison, looking puzzled. Guang Guangchen then answered her questions, and Jiang Xintong finally understood. She also realized that Yan Xingmeng hadn't been able to meet Guang Guangchen this Saturday... and that she had been misunderstanding all along.

What the hell is this...?

What exactly have I been worrying about these past few days...?

Jiang Xintong frowned deeply, and her ominous aura caused Guang Guangchen and Sun Weizecheng to keep a meter's distance. Then, Sun Weizecheng offered to take Jiang Xintong for a ride. Jiang Xintong glanced at Guang Guangchen, who immediately shivered and said that he still had to go find Nuanxin. Okay, let's leave it at that for today.

It was already lucky that Guangchang Chen didn't get a severe lecture from the young lady. He quickly left, while Jiang Xintong got into the car with Sun Weizecheng for the return trip.

In the back seat of a luxury car, Jiang Xintong sat on the left, still frowning and with complicated feelings. The car was quiet. Normally, Wei Zecheng would be talking non-stop in her ear. Why was it so quiet today? Jiang Xintong turned her head and saw Wei Zecheng's gentle face. He had his right fist on his cheek and was smiling at the window, as if he had encountered something great.

What kind of expression is that...?

"What's wrong? Did something interesting happen again?" Jiang Xintong knew a bit about Wei Zecheng's hobbies; to her, it was just pure, morbid humor.

“Yes.” Sun Weize murmured leisurely, his gaze still fixed on the distance, then he softly uttered a sentence, “I have a feeling that Guangchang and the president will be dating soon…”

The sound wasn't loud, but Jiang Xintong heard it very clearly.

Jiang Xintong's expression froze. At the same time, a gentle breeze blew in from the window, lightly caressing her face and lifting her bangs...

141. A relationship that cannot be intervened in!

……

"Why is the process in this order?" Guangchang leaned closer, trying to understand.

"Perhaps this is the difference between a genius and a mediocre person," Chen Nuanxin nodded in agreement.

"It's really not that difficult. I feel a little embarrassed if you say that." Shan Yaoning awkwardly scratched the back of her head, then hung the Huarong Road puzzle toy back on the shelf.

What time is lunch?

"We'll meet around 5:30 at the restaurant downstairs. We still have quite a bit of time, so let's wander around a bit more," Shan Yaoning suggested with a smile.

Guangchang Chen and Chen Nuanxin nodded in unison.

The next day, Sunday, was the start of the three-day holiday since Christmas on Friday. Guang Chen had spent most of his time on entertainment and play, which was a betrayal of his original determination to work hard and compete. Fortunately, Nuan Xin seemed to have more time to play than him. He had been studying hard after returning home, but Nuan Xin was probably playing games.

Recently, I saw that Nuanxin has become obsessed with a match-3 scoring game. Since it is connected to WeChat, Guangchangchen would secretly check from time to time to see what level she had passed. Sometimes, the record was still being updated at 1 a.m., and Guangchangchen felt that it was in the bag!

This feeling is just like that dark feeling you get when you don't exercise properly, but you see your friend's WeChat steps steadily increasing every day, and you secretly hope she'll run fewer steps... Ah...

Guang Guangchen's expected ranking this time is around 70th. As the semester draws to a close, this is the peak period for these students. It would be good if they could maintain their ranking. Once the winter break officially begins, Guang Guangchen will have more time for self-disciplined study. When the second semester's opening exams start, he believes his ranking will definitely rise again!

As for today's meal, unlike the student council team-building event last time, this time it's a gathering of friends. It's just a meal together with friends we know. Yan Xingmeng and the young lady will both be there, and who knows, they'll probably play some weird little games again. It's unbelievable how these two always seem to clash whenever they meet. Are they natural rivals...?

Yao Ning is still the best in this respect. She has a carefree attitude, a sweet smile, and her constant calling him "brother" is so comforting. Although her favorability rating has reached 59 points, she occasionally blushes when she looks at herself, but it's not a problem at all. Guang Chen is immune to this kind of situation.

Then, Nuanxin suggested that they watch a movie before going to dinner. They looked at the ticketing website but couldn't choose one for a while. Then Shan Yaoning exclaimed in surprise and pointed her right index finger to the wall on one side.

Guangchang and his companion looked in that direction and saw a poster for a bloody horror movie hanging on the wall; it was from Thailand, after all.

Chen Nuanxin immediately shivered, curled up, raised her hands, and tremblingly approached Yao Ning, whispering, "Or maybe a horror movie should be..."

Before they even touched each other, Chen Nuanxin noticed Yao Ning's bright eyes staring intently at the poster. This scene reminded the two of Yao Ning's outstanding performance during the snowball fight, where she single-handedly put immense pressure on all three of them.

Hmm... Sometimes I think, maybe beneath Yao Ning's natural personality, there's a hidden potential for a bit of cunning.

Since Yao Ning wanted to see it so badly, Guang Chen and the other man naturally went to great lengths to accompany her! But unfortunately, the show wasn't until the evening, so they had no choice but to...

“Absolutely no problem,” Shan Yaoning said with a sweet smile.

"But……"

"I'll take care of it." After saying that, Shan Yaoning took out her phone, made a call, and soon said that it was all taken care of.

Eh……

Guang Chen and the other two went to the nearest cinema. Even though they couldn't see the showtimes on the screen and hadn't even bought tickets, a man who looked like a manager quickly ran over and bowed and scraped in front of Shan Yao Ning, warmly inviting the three of them to enter.

Wow... the power of money.

At this moment, Guangchang once again realized the importance that money and power represented.

Not only does it have a super-large screen theater, but it's also a private theater for three people, equipped with all kinds of snacks. Just from these, you probably won't need to eat dinner after you finish eating.

Chen Nuanxin was pleasantly surprised. Maybe she could get through this with these snacks!

But it doesn't work.

Midway through the movie, Chen Nuanxin collapsed in her chair, completely exhausted. How could it be so terrifying?

After enduring a difficult hour and a half, a refreshed Shan Yaoning even received a free gift from the movie, while Guangchang Chen and Chen Nuanxin looked like they had stomach aches, but they finally made it through.

Liking a naturally naive, horror-themed character is, in a way, also a kind of scary thing...

"Brother, are you alright? You don't look well," Shan Yaoning asked with concern as she leaned closer.

"I'm alright, I might need to drink something hot to calm down."

"Then I'll have some coffee, a coconut latte, full sugar, right?" Shan Yaoning tilted her head and said.

Yes, that's right. Guangchang Chen isn't a big fan of coffee, but he can drink a coconut latte with full sugar like it's sugar water. He actually finds it quite refreshing. In a way, he's quite an amazing person.

The three of them stood in front of Luckin Coffee. Shan Yaoning hummed a song as she swiped her finger across the screen to see what she wanted to drink.

"Yao Ning, I feel like you've started calling him 'Big Brother' a lot more often lately. Why is that? Didn't you say before that your sister forbade you from calling him that?" Chen Nuanxin suddenly asked.

"Well... it's quite strange. Ever since about half a month ago, whenever I bring up the term 'brother' again, my sister seems to stop correcting me. She must have gotten used to me calling him that, right?" As she spoke, Shan Yaoning turned to Guangchang Chen and smiled with narrowed eyes.

However, Guangchang seemed listless and said with a hint of melancholy, "But 'brother' is just a title. Aren't all older people called 'brother'?"

Upon hearing this, Shan Yaoning immediately shook her head and said, "No, that's not true! Right now, right now... I only call you brother, no one else will call you that."

"Oh..." Chen Nuanxin covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise.

Guangchang Chen was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly asked, "What is your name, Sun Weizecheng?"

"Brother Cheng?"

"What about Chu Ling?"

"Who is this?"

Guangchang nodded in satisfaction. Only a select few would understand the unique feelings he had about being called "brother" by the sweet and innocent type.

"It's about time. Let's grab our coffee and get going."

"Oh!"

……

At the agreed-upon restaurant, today was a gathering of friends. The core members, along with a few others whom Guangchang knew, were having a casual meal together. Tomorrow was the monthly exam, so this was their last chance to relax.

Jiang Xintong arrived five minutes early. The first thing she noticed when she entered the private room was Yan Xingmeng and Guang Guangchen sitting on her left and right. The others hadn't arrived yet, and the two seemed to be chatting happily. On Guang Guangchen's other side, Chen Nuanxin, who had said she was already full, was still eating cold dishes. Snacks really don't fill you up.

"Oh! Boss! You're here so early!" Chen Nuanxin noticed the boss at the door immediately, raised her right hand, and said while chewing on a pig's ear.

"Um, um... I had something to do, but I had to cancel at the last minute, so I came a little earlier." Jiang Xintong was still carrying a dry cleaning bag, but after seeing Yan Xingmeng and Guang Guangchen chatting so harmoniously, she slightly hid her right hand holding the bag behind her back.

What? Am I avoiding Yan Xingmeng's sharp edge? Damn it.

Jiang Xintong glanced around at the seats and finally settled on the head seat. Yan Xingmeng didn't even sit in the head seat. Humph, then let her sit there. Jiang Xintong walked to the head seat, pulled out the chair, and sat down properly. Actually, there were still two seats between her and Guang Chen's and the other two's seats...

There's always a sense of distance between us.

Jiang Xintong looked up and immediately met Yan Xingmeng's gaze. In the past, Jiang Xintong would always put on a very arrogant look at this time, creating a situation of sharp competition with Yan Xingmeng. Then, the two of them would come up with a little game from their discussion. Regardless of winning or losing, the sense of competition would be at its peak. But today, it seemed a little different.

After Yan Xingmeng met his gaze, she smiled warmly at him, and after a couple of seconds, she turned back to Guangchang and continued the conversation.

Eh?

How is this going?

Is it really that ordinary?

Jiang Xintong widened her eyes slightly, then her gaze shifted to Guang Guangchen. To her surprise, she found that Guang Guangchen was also chatting casually with Yan Xingmeng. The awkwardness between them was gone, unlike when Jiang Xintong had gone hiking. Back then, they hadn't even had a one-on-one conversation, but now…

What's going on? When did the relationship between these two become so good?

Jiang Xintong had been misunderstanding one thing. She thought that Guang Guangchen and Yan Xingmeng had to ask her to arrange their meetings even on weekends, which meant there was no normal social interaction between them. So what was going on with their natural conversation now?

Jiang Xintong opened her mouth slightly, wanting to say something and join the conversation between the two, but she always felt a sense of distance between them. This distance existed both in reality and in her mind. Yan Xingmeng even gave up the competition for the main seat. She probably chose to sit next to Guangchang Chen as soon as she came in. Yan Xingmeng gave up the main seat to her.

That's because she didn't seem to care about that at all. Jiang Xintong tightened her grip on the paper bag's drawstring, but ultimately didn't speak. She lowered her head slightly, and that feeling of frustration welled up in her heart once again.

A few seconds later, she felt someone tapping her shoulder. Jiang Xintong looked up and immediately saw Nuanxin standing in front of her, who was holding a large bottle of Sprite. She said, "Want a large Sprite? Boss, it'll be ice cold."

142. It's because I like you!

"Oh, oh..." Jiang Xintong paused for a moment, then looked away. It was precisely because of the heartwarming words that she was prevented from continuing to struggle with that kind of emotion.

"Giving the young lady iced drinks on such a cold day? Do you think everyone has the same constitution as you?" Guangchang said at this moment. Chen Nuanxin, who was about to unscrew the bottle cap and pour a glass of iced Sprite for the boss, suddenly stopped and looked up at her boss with a surprised expression.

"Eh?"

"Who needs your advice? I just like drinking iced drinks. Didn't you guys buy ice cream the other day? Besides, do I look like I'm in bad health?" Jiang Xintong's arrogance suddenly flared up, and her sharp eyes immediately shot towards Guang Yunchen.

That's too obvious.

But Guang Chen was already used to it. Looking at Nuan Xin's sly smile, he could only sigh.

Yan Xingmeng witnessed the whole thing, then stood up and left the seat next to Guang Changchen. She walked straight to Jiang Xintong's side, sat down to her right, smiled, and said softly, "Then I'll come and sit with you, Xintong. You must feel a little lonely sitting so far away."

Yan Xingmeng was more perceptive. After all, they had known each other for over ten years. Sometimes, competitors can see things much more clearly than friends who spend every day together. Just like now, Yan Xingmeng could tell at a glance that Xintong was not in a good mood.
