The three of them went upstairs together. This team building center combines archery, arcade games, VR, and even go-karts in the basement. The prices are reasonable, so it's a perfect place to go on the weekend. After paying, they put on the corresponding wristbands and then went to the lockers to store their belongings.

Standing next to Zhou Qianwen, Chen Nuanxin could no longer contain her curiosity and whispered, "Qianwen, how are you feeling right now?"

"I'm in a good mood... so you don't need to worry about me," Zhou Qianwen said with a smile, her eyes narrowed.

"Phew...that's good. I almost thought you weren't coming." Chen Nuanxin patted her chest.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qianwen's eyes glazed over for a moment, then she lowered her head slightly and said, "Actually, I really couldn't think it through at first, but when I thought of how considerate you are of me, I knew I shouldn't run away from it. There are some things I need to figure out for myself."

Chen Nuanxin was somewhat surprised. She blinked and asked, "So you've figured it out now? You don't mean you're planning to give up?"

When she said she was giving up, she naturally meant giving up the idea of ​​having any further contact with You Guangchen, and the two became friends completely.

Chen Nuanxin's heart was pounding, terrified that Zhou Qianwen would nod and admit it the next second. She didn't want to hear it; a girl as outstanding as Qianwen was truly hard to find.

“No, that’s not it.” Zhou Qianwen shook her head and continued, “I’m not thinking about giving up, or rather, it has nothing to do with giving up or not. I’ve thought about what Guang said that day. Maybe I really don’t know him very well. I don’t know what he’s like in his daily life or his past. Can this kind of liking really be considered liking? A good relationship should be a decision made by both people after getting to know each other for a long time. So, I’m fully prepared for this.”

"So that means..." Chen Nuanxin's eyes rippled and lit up!

"I want to continue getting to know Guang until I realize we understand each other very well. At that time... I believe I will confess without hesitation, on the day we truly understand each other..." Zhou Qianwen blushed as she said this. She was still a novice when it came to love, and it was unimaginable for her to say that she would confess to a boy without hesitation.

“Qianwen…” Chen Nuanxin was moved by Zhou Qianwen’s genuine emotions. She had thought she would hear Qianwen put an end to this wonderful feeling, since giving up would be too easy. But what she received was Qianwen’s persistence in wanting to understand this feeling. This was just too much…

Zhou Qianwen tilted her head and smiled, then reached out and rubbed her head, saying, "Let's hurry up and set off. Guang should be waiting for us."

"Okay, sure." Chen Nuanxin agreed repeatedly, watching Zhou Qianwen, whose gloom had vanished, walk towards the entrance. Suddenly, she thought of the girl who had failed to confess her feelings, and a famous line popped into her mind.

Longing is the emotion furthest from understanding...

But Qianwen's approach is completely different.

Chen Nuanxin was in a great mood. After putting her things down, she jogged to catch up with Qianwen. Today, she was determined to have a blast! The three of them went together!

……

Good morning, Guang.

"Fanchen, have you had breakfast? I brought some glutinous rice balls."

"Want to play soccer together tonight?"

A series of friendly greetings surrounded Guang Guangchen. Over this period of time, Guang Guangchen had come to understand the meaning of "once you become successful, you will be surrounded by good people".

Ever since others found out that I was on good terms with two core members of F6, I instantly went from being nobody to someone who would attract attention on campus. It just goes to show how eager some students are to improve!

"Sorry, I can't play soccer." Guangchang Chen politely declined with a smile. He didn't dislike this kind of life. Anyway, he wasn't the main character. It was already pretty good for a nobody to be able to live a leisurely life. If he had to say who was more like the main character, he would still think that Chu Ling, the newly promoted core member of the first year of high school, was more like it. It was like a gender-swapped version of Meteor Garden. Chu Ling looked small and had a submissive look. She was quite suitable to be tormented by that playful student council president.

It's almost funny to think about.

Just then, a series of greetings came from the back door of the classroom. Chen Nuanxin, carrying a sticky rice ball and a bunch of snacks, successfully arrived at the school, her mouth bulging as she continued to chew.

This sticky rice ball of yours is probably...

I really want to improve!

Everyone knows that Chen Nuanxin is simple-minded, loves to eat and play, so many people now give her a bunch of delicious food in the morning. It's the most economical and effective way to please her, so why not?

Kind of outrageous.

Zhou Qianwen was fawned over because of her status as a core member of F6, and he was fawned over because he knew Zhou Qianwen. Chen Nuanxin was fawned over because she was his underling. This nested doll-like situation reminded Guangchang of a short story he read as a child about whether the friends of friends of Afanti's friends were still friends.

Chen Nuanxin sat down, and after finishing all the food, she let out a burp, patted her belly, and began her daily routine.

During the morning self-study period, since they had nothing else to do, Chen Nuanxin and Guangchang chatted idly, and in the process, they brought up someone who shouldn't have been mentioned.

Cao Ruoyu.

Why bring up a minor character who should never reappear in a story after being defeated? Is he making a comeback? Is he an unkillable villain who keeps jumping around?

Guangchang raised the question to Nuanxin, but Chen Nuanxin gave a negative answer.

"No, on the contrary, she's having a really bad time right now. Ever since she left the core members of F6, she's been ostracized among the ordinary members. All the bad things she did before have been exposed all at once. Her 'womanizer' persona is confirmed, and the president at the time seemed to dislike her a bit, so the backlash came crashing down on her. Now she's completely the enemy of the whole school."

"Is that so?" Guang Chan rested his right hand on his cheek, thinking about her ordinary family background, how she had become the enemy of the entire school, and the two years of campus life ahead of her that would be incredibly difficult. But wasn't all of this her own fault? Power...

Just over two weeks ago, she was surrounded by a group of girls who called her "sister" one after another. But once she collapsed, the backlash was exponentially stronger.

"Qianwen, you can't become like this," Chen Nuanxin said, looking up at Zhou Qianwen at the table in front of her.

Zhou Qianwen immediately turned around and said hurriedly, "I won't!"

Her anxious look is also very cute.

They were originally supposed to sit in the first two rows, but to make room for the three of them to chat, the teacher changed their seats so they could sit together.

This is it, ah, power... A joke gets boring after being played three times, and Guangchang Chen doesn't want to play it anymore.

……

The time came to noon.

Guangchang didn't really like having so many underlings running errands for him, so he chose to go to the cafeteria by himself and take a walk on the playground. The weather wasn't too hot today, and there was even a slight breeze, which was perfect for a stroll.

The sunlight wasn't glaring; Guangchang felt he could almost look directly at the sun if he tilted his head back and squinted, although after a while everything seemed green...

"Um, Guangchang Chen, can I say something to you?" A female voice suddenly sounded in front of him. Guangchang Chen was a little speechless. How long was he going to be trapped in this cycle of being trapped in a dollhouse? Damn love supremacy.

Guangchang lowered his head, his vision still blurring. After a moment, he was startled to realize that he recognized the girl who had come—it was Cao Ruoyu!

However, Cao Ruoyu looked somewhat tired this time, and her spirits were less vibrant compared to two weeks ago.

It gives you the feeling of your family suddenly falling into ruin, from a wealthy heiress with hundreds of millions in assets to someone with only a few million left.

"Cao Ruoyu? You still want to see me?" Guangchang asked in return.

Cao Ruoyu was acting strangely, becoming timid and hesitant. It seems that the recent verbal attacks have had a significant impact on her, making her insecure.

"Well... I've thought about this for a long time now, and I suddenly realized how terrible my past actions were. So, so... I'm here today to apologize! Whether you forgive me or not, I want to apologize to you," Cao Ruoyu said, bowing her head.

"you……"

"Of course, you'll probably think I'm trying to please you, but that's not the case. I know I deserved to be scolded, and I truly know I was wrong. I'm here today just to get your forgiveness. You don't need to do anything for me; I'll go back to my original intentions. I just want to apologize today." Cao Ruoyu's words were somewhat agitated and quite sincere. If it were the Guangchang of the past, he would definitely have accepted it. But unfortunately, the person standing in front of her now was not her predecessor, but a working-class person who had experienced years of hardship in her previous life.

At that moment, only one thought popped into his mind: Is this guy just indulging in self-pity?

----------

P.S.: This is a combined chapter. I'm going out to play tonight! Happy Children's Day! Hope everyone is happy every day!

18. Why are you targeting me?

Why did he suddenly appear in front of me just to apologize? He seemed quite sincere. Could this be the kind of plot where someone suddenly falls from a high position to the ground, suddenly understands the coldness of human relationships, or the white moonlight from their first year of high school returns?

Cao Ruoyu's eyes were red, and she waited intently for Guangchang's answer.

"Since it doesn't matter to me whether I forgive you or not, then you don't need to apologize to me."

"what do you mean……"

"No, you misunderstood. I didn't mean for you to continue apologizing. I just felt it wasn't necessary. Whether you are truly repentant or not, it has nothing to do with me."

“Is that so…” Cao Ruoyu’s eyes dimmed, perhaps she had already foreseen this outcome.

“I’ve seen similar scenes many times before. A good person becomes irredeemably evil because of a bad deed, while a bad person is praised as someone worth befriending because of a good deed. It’s so strange. That good person has also done many good deeds, and the bad deeds that bad person did before should not be forgotten. So what I want to say is, just don’t bother me anymore.” Guangchang Chen spoke quite bluntly. In reality, he and Cao Ruoyu really had no relationship at all.

These words were a bit sharp, and Cao Ruoyu's expression hardened, but she wasn't angry. Perhaps she genuinely felt she was wrong, but this had nothing to do with Guangchang Chenze.

"I know I hurt you and many other people in the past. I just want to make it clear to you that I will definitely..."

Guangchang raised his right hand, shook his head, interrupted her speech, and said, "I understand this feeling. You did a lot of bad things in the past, and now you want to turn over a new leaf. You hope that some people will know that you want to turn over a new leaf, so that they will take action. Isn't this just a self-protective behavior?"

"..." Guangchang's words left her speechless for a moment, unsure whether he had hit the nail on the head or was just a momentary self-doubt.

Seeing that she still didn't understand, Guangchang pointed out, "Actually, you don't need to respond to so many people's feelings. If you want to change, start by changing. You don't need to tell anyone, just do it. Maybe some people will change their opinion of you after hearing about your situation, or they won't. That's normal. It's better than you crying and apologizing to everyone one by one now."

This is already bordering on moral blackmail.

After Guang Chen retaliated against her, he no longer harbored any hostility. Without hostility, there was no question of accepting an apology. Even if he did accept it, they wouldn't be friends. Reconciliation would essentially be returning to normalcy, but there's never a time when things are truly back to normal between two people.

Seeing that Cao Ruoyu was speechless, Guangchang Chen politely raised his hand, turned around and left. He had no intention of taking a walk on the playground anymore, and decided to go back to the classroom for a lunch break.

And one last point: does Cao Ruoyu's current behavior count as a whitewash? Guangchang's answer is no. In his heart, even if he has no hostility towards her, she can never be truly whitewashed. A gold digger who has been a gold digger for half a year, can she really be whitewashed by finally repenting? That would be too tragic for so many honest people...

……

After the opening exams, there will still be monthly exams every month. Guangchang Chen is currently thinking about improving his grades in each monthly exam. Chen Nuanxin is also gradually realizing her eldest son's determination to study hard, which gives her a strong sense of conviction. When the people around you are studying, you will study on your own. This is a wonderful kind of infectious power.

"The student council has changed its location again?"

Guangchang listened to the words of the person coming from the back door of the classroom. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, and this time he didn't need to move forward with a little confusion.

The route was familiar, the botanical garden was familiar, but this time Guang Chen chose to observe first before entering, to prevent Yan Xingmeng from locking him inside again. When he entered the botanical garden and looked deeper, he found that there was a rest area in the open space in the center of the huge botanical garden, with a round table and several chairs, and a huge parasol above. Yan Xingmeng was leisurely drinking red tea and waiting for his arrival.

Now we can't block the door anymore.

Guangchang closed the door behind him, and heard a click. The sound made him feel uneasy. He reached for the handle again, but it wouldn't turn!

This door cannot be opened from this side!

What exactly did Yan Xingmeng do to this door afterward?

Okay, I'm locked up again.

Guangchang let out a long breath and had no choice but to walk towards the central platform. The botanical garden was air-conditioned, so it wasn't hot. He glanced at the steam rising from the spout of the red teapot on Yan Xingmeng's table and could tell that she had only been there for a short time.

"President... what brings you here again?" Guangchang asked.

“Regular chats, and…” Yan Xingmeng paused, put down her teacup, and said, “There’s been a lot of news about you these past two days. I heard you severely reprimanded Cao Ruoyu when she came to apologize, is that right?”

“A severe reprimand? Not at all.”

“There were quite a few people on the playground at the time, and there are relevant records.” Yan Xingmeng pointed to a few pieces of paper on the edge of the round table, then picked them up and read them aloud. “I saw the boy loudly berate Cao Ruoyu, and then the two parted on bad terms. The second record is that I saw the boy not only berate her, but also push her, even pushing Cao Ruoyu to the ground. The boy didn’t even care and just turned around and left…”

"...Is that right?" Guangchang's eyebrows trembled. How could this be completely inconsistent with the facts?

"Isn't that right?" Yan Xingmeng asked casually, her body turned to the side with her right leg crossed over her left shinbone.

"Of course not. At that time, I was a bit sharp-tongued, but I didn't criticize her harshly. She had nothing to do with me, so why would I criticize her?"

"Hmph~" Yan Xingmeng gave a meaningful hum, then her gaze lingered on him for a while before she pointed to the chair opposite her.

Guangchang knew he couldn't leave, so he sat down and picked up a new cup from the table, pouring himself a cup of black tea.

That's quite direct.

"I thought you, Guangchang, were someone who liked to preach."

"Ahem." Guang Chen felt a little exposed and coughed awkwardly, saying, "Boys inevitably like to talk about grand principles, right? Handsome, you know? Handsome. But I think what he said to Cao Ruoyu this time was right. Consider it a kind of advice."

"Heh, this is a piece of advice: Guangchang's personality is a bit arrogant at its core." Yan Xingmeng smiled with narrowed eyes.

Guangchang averted his gaze from hers, lowered his head slightly, took a sip of tea, and still felt a little guilty.

"I was just asking casually, I didn't mean anything by it, don't be nervous." Yan Xingmeng waved her hand at him. "Is the black tea good?"

"Well, not bad."

Yan Xingmeng's gaze was unblinking, as if she were looking at something amusing, completely naked... Wait a minute, why is she targeting me? Aren't there new students in the first year of high school? Shouldn't the normal scene be one where she's playing pranks on him? Guangchang Chen was utterly perplexed.

-------

P.S.: I've been playing a lot these past few days, so the update is a bit late. Another chapter will be updated later. Thanks for your support!

19. Isn't he a little too handsome?

"Um, can I ask you a question?" Guangchang was really curious and couldn't help but ask.

"Well, you ask."

"What does the president think of Chu Ling, a freshman in the first year of high school?"

"Chu Ling? Ah, that new core member, um... how should I put it? She's petite, quite cute, and very serious about her work. She seems like the type who would blush if you talked to her for too long," Yan Xingmeng said with a smile.

"Yes, that's his personality. Since you, the president, also enjoy having fun and interesting things, wouldn't it be more fun to find him than to find me?"

“How could that be? That boy looked like he’d get teary-eyed if threatened. In that respect, Guang Chen, you have a strong heart. I’ve never seen a boy who dares to drink my black tea on his own.” Yan Xingmeng stared at him.

Guangchang was taken aback. Looking at the black tea in his cup, he said, "Is this price really that high?"

“Price isn’t the issue, it’s the attitude. But, isn’t this what a normal classmate relationship should be like?” Yan Xingmeng said, leaning forward, interlacing her fingers and resting her knuckles on her chin, continuing to look at Guang Yuchen with interest, the gaze making him feel very uncomfortable.

They've turned themselves into toys.

"Yes, yes, the president is right." Guangchang Chen responded perfunctorily. He still needed Yan Xingmeng's key to get out. What was this? Was he trying to break into the Demon Tower?
