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

"What is your purpose?" Shan Yimo went straight to the point.

"Let's watch the cats together, with you here." Guangchang Chen has never told a lie.

Shan Yimo's slightly parted lips trembled, then she looked away, pondered for a moment, and finally gave a soft "Mmm," before saying, "Then after school..."

"Okay, it's a date then, after school." Guangchang's voice was firm and resolute, as if he were confirming something.

"Ah."

There are only about 20 minutes left before school ends, which means Guangchang needs to go back to pack his things and then return to the cat classroom.

The two made another agreement.

Is it the truth or a lie...?

"Even if you don't come, I'll still come looking for you. You'll definitely be in the president's office anyway."

Upon hearing the words "President's Office," Shan Yimo's pupils contracted, and she immediately looked up, slightly flustered, and said, "No, the president can't know about this..."

"That sounds a bit strange," Chen Nuanxin muttered, rubbing her chin.

"Yes, you don't want the president to know about this, do you?"

Hey boss, this topic is getting weirder and weirder.

"I understand," Shan Yimo said calmly. From this perspective, she had no choice but to come over after school. Guang Chen finally let go of her arm. Shan Yimo didn't stop at all, quickened her pace, turned around and left quickly, disappearing from sight in no time.

Guang Chen and Chen Nuanxin were still in the corridor. Chen Nuanxin was especially shocked. She went up and tugged at the boss's right sleeve. When she looked at the boss's expression again, she was startled. The boss was no longer as imposing as before. He looked like a balloon that had been punctured by a needle. He looked timid and was completely different from before.

"Boss, you were really brave just now, did you trigger a special mechanism?"

"Ha..." Guangchang was still feeling deflated when he turned to Nuanxin and said, "It feels like some kind of memory enhancement."

They spoke some very direct truths, which had a kind of beauty in their swift and decisive way. In a normal drama, this kind of misunderstanding could easily drag on for three or four episodes, but Guangchang Chen and Shan Yimo are both people who quickly get to the point and express their thoughts in just a few words. This way, the awkwardness is gone, but it's too direct, making every sentence sound like a confession.

Is this a bad sign...?

Guang Guangchen had a vague feeling about this, and then he sighed again. Had he been interfering too much in other people's affairs? At this moment, he couldn't help but question his own decision.

“Boss, I think doing this might not be a bad thing.” Chen Nuanxin’s voice came, and Guangchang Chen came back to his senses, focused his gaze, and found that Nuanxin’s gaze was staring straight in the direction where Shan Yimo had just left.

"is it?"

"Yeah, because I felt that Yimo seemed a little happy just now."

A little happy?

Shouldn't someone as sensitive as Nuanxin be a little less perceptive in this regard? Or is this a case of "the onlooker sees more of the game than the player"?

"you sure?"

Chen Nuanxin nodded and said, "I feel that way. Isn't this a happy ending for everyone? Yimo actually wanted to come, and you, Boss, also wanted to see her. Isn't this the best direction?"

Chen Nuanxin clapped her hands and spread them out to the sides, as if she were giving a victory speech.

That makes some sense.

"Phew, I can only say that this move is fine for dealing with Yi Mo, but sometimes being too direct isn't a good thing either," Chen Nuanxin said, pressing her fists against her sides.

"Yes, yes, people are complex individuals, there is no single solution, um... that sounds a bit strange." Guangchang didn't think they were playing a strategy RPG game, it was just that the favorability rating had reached a peak, so he said some thoughtless things in a slightly willful way.

Chen Nuanxin nodded emphatically, then raised her left index finger and said seriously, "Then there's only one last and most important question left."

"what?"

As Chen Nuanxin pointed at the eldest brother, the surrounding sky seemed to darken in an instant. She said in a deep voice, "Eldest brother, do you like Yimo?"

What? The atmosphere suddenly turned like a horror movie. Immediately afterward, Guang Chen chopped down with his hand, hitting Chen Nuanxin on the forehead. Chen Nuanxin groaned softly, then returned to normal, covering her forehead and glaring at her boss with dissatisfaction.

But Guang Chen did not give an answer. He took a breath, opened his mouth, but did not say a word. But often, no answer is an answer in itself.

Chen Nuanxin nodded knowingly, then gently bumped her head against her boss's arm and said, "I support you, boss."

Then a meow came from beside her ear. Chen Nuanxin turned her gaze and remembered the group of "heroes", especially the white figure that had just blocked Yimo's path. As expected of the cat leader, it had guts. Chen Nuanxin's gaze then moved down and landed on the Overlord standing upright in front of her. It still had that head held high and chest out. Chen Nuanxin grinned and gave the Overlord a big thumbs up.

Hey, this is starting to feel like hell again.

……

The school bell rang, Guang Guangchen packed his things, nodded to Nuanxin, and hurried out of the back door of the classroom. When Zhou Qianwen, who sat in front of him, turned around, Guang Guangchen was already gone.

"Haha, sorry Qianwen, I'm afraid our boss can't join us for the review today again." Chen Nuanxin scratched her head and laughed it off.

Zhou Qianwen glanced at the back door of the classroom, then shook her head, turned back, and smiled at Nuanxin with narrowed eyes: "It's okay, then I'll review with you alone today."

"Oh!"

On the other side, Guangchang Chen walked for ten minutes to the new cat classroom. He was already very familiar with the place. In fact, he already had his own special spot in the new cat classroom. As soon as he arrived, any cat crawling on the mat would immediately get up and give up his spot.

Shan Yimo hadn't arrived yet, but Guangchang believed she would. He sat down in his seat and shared the cat treats he carried with him with the dozen or so cats in turn.

As soon as footsteps approached, Guang Chen paused in his actions, looked up, and quickly saw Shan Yimo walking in from the front of the classroom.

"I'm here," Shan Yimo said, stepping into the classroom. Several cats quickly approached, and she squatted down to pet them casually. She had brought her bag with her; she planned to go straight home after this session.

Shan Yimo still couldn't resist, or rather, that feeling was growing again. She knew about the relationship between Guangchang Chen and the president, and she should have avoided suspicion, but since the other party had said that he would tell the president, she was here because of uncontrollable factors. She was trying to convince herself with this explanation.

The president still doesn't know anything, so isn't it just right to stop here? Let's pretend that what happened on New Year's Day and in the past few days didn't exist. Today is just an exception. The cat classroom was flooded, and I had entrusted Guangchang to take care of these cats, find a new classroom, and retrain the cats, so it's reasonable for the two of us to stay together for the time being, isn't it?

This silence lasted for a good three or four minutes. Last time I was thinking of chatting longer next time, but this time we couldn't even get anything going. So, I guess I won't want to meet again next time. The only reason I'll want to meet is because the atmosphere was so good last time, right? As long as the atmosphere calms down this time...

“Ah, the white hair has been removed here,” Guangchang Chen suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Shan Yimo quickly turned her gaze over, then immediately moved closer to Guang Yuanchen, looking at the white figure in his arms to confirm the situation.

"Oh, sorry, I misread it, this is its nipple."

"..."

The two fell into a familiar silence.

"Isn't this your favorite tired joke...?"

163. A little more like?

Do I really like overused jokes?

"So you're saying that what you told me before was really just to make me laugh?" Guangchang pulled his head away, his eyes slightly questioning.

"Correct."

Shan Yimo answered with a single word: "A person who tells a tired joke is just a bit morbidly funny, but what about someone who tells a tired joke without realizing it?"

In short, the two of them started the conversation in their own unique way.

"When were all these placed? This air conditioner, and these decorative items," Guangchang asked, pointing to the corresponding objects.

"The air conditioner was installed last night, and the decorations were brought by me this morning. I had bought a lot of small items before, so I brought some of the more durable ones."

"Oh, you're willing to bring things over, which means you value this cat classroom quite a bit, right, Baiying?" Guangchang Chen casually asked, glancing at the white cat Baiying in front of him.

"Meow~" The white figure squatted down, lazily wagging its tail from left to right.

Shan Yimo knew that Guang Guangchen's words were pointed. If Guang Guangchen hadn't used a rather forceful attitude, she might have continued in this state. How long it would have lasted, she herself didn't know. This kind of agonizing was already ingrained in her personality and was difficult to eradicate easily.

If she could completely side with one side, she wouldn't be so conflicted. The current situation is complicated precisely because of her indecisiveness. Before, she simply and single-mindedly followed the president and cleared obstacles for him. Back then, her goals were much simpler.

However, she relapsed into her old habit of relying too much on the chairman, which prevented her from relieving her own stress and even increased it. This made the reliance meaningless. At this time, Guang Chen's appearance changed the situation. Although it was a path that Mo could not choose, just standing at the crossroads and looking into it was a way for her to release her stress.

The Cat Classroom had become her own private space, the only place where she could relieve stress. It was obviously impossible for her to never come back, so when she was there, she hoped that everything here would be relaxing, including Guangchang, who was in the classroom.

Only within this cat classroom, Guangchang Chen might be treated specially. Outside this classroom, he is the Guangchang Chen that the president likes, but within this cat classroom, he is just Guangchang Chen of the cat classroom.

With this thought in mind, Shan Yimo relaxed and finally sat down on the cushion, her expression gradually becoming more relaxed.

“Let me tell you, the cats have found a new toilet spot. It was Nuanxin who taught them. Isn’t that amazing? Nuanxin settles things through duels, so how did you manage to do that?” Guangchang Chen turned and asked.

"Nothing really happened. I just told them to go outside to use the toilet, and they went automatically."

"Isn't this even more amazing..." Guang Guangchen complained, but he knew it was probably a joke. Looking at Shan Yimo, who was curled up against the wall with her back to the cat in her arms, Guang Guangchen was unconsciously engrossed in watching her.

Oh, is the new air conditioner turning the heat up too high? Why does my mind keep going blank?

"It's great to see you here again. After all, this is still your territory, and I don't want it to turn into me taking over this place later," Guangchang Chen said once again.

Shan Yimo knew he was still talking about how she avoided him. After all, so far, much of it was just her own internal monologue, and Guang Chen didn't know any of it. He was just making guesses, just like he had back then. No, he was much braver than he had back then. He wasn't worried about offending anyone. The most contradictory thing was wanting to maintain a good relationship while also worrying about offending someone.

"I will come as usual afterward," Shan Yimo replied calmly.

Guangchang nodded and then said, "If you really want to avoid suspicion when you return, I will come less often in the future, since you are the boss here."

"Meow~" The white shadow meowed reluctantly, rubbing its head against his arm. It was a clear sign that it didn't want to leave. It seemed to really understand human speech.

"No, you can come as usual in the future."

Shan Yimo's change of heart puzzled Guangchang, who wondered at what point she had come to her senses.

"Guang Chen, you were in the hallway just now and said you wanted to see me. Is it because we had such a good chat after school the other day?"

"Yes, that's part of the reason."

"Guangdong Chen, just to be on the safe side, I also want to ask you, do you like me a little bit?" Shan Yimo had had this thought for a long time and had been holding it in for a long time. Now, if it weren't for Guangdong Chen's words about wanting to see her, Shan Yimo might have been able to delay asking for a while longer.

This question is exactly the same as the one Nuanxin raised. Well, the second time he heard it, the level of fright he was in had decreased significantly. In fact, in a split second, he was already calmly thinking about the question.

He had been thinking about this question ever since Nuanxin asked it, and now that Shan Yimo had asked it again, he actually had an answer: to be honest or to hide it. Guangchang Chen only needed to consider this, and then he chose to be honest.

"Yes, I've developed some feelings for you," Guangchang said.

Upon hearing this answer, Shan Yimo tensed up completely. Shock was evident in every aspect of her body. Even the way she held the cat became tense. For a tall woman of 1.75 meters, this state was completely unlike her.

Shan Yimo could only dream of Guang Guangchen liking her; she would never actually believe it. But Guang Guangchen wasn't the type to joke about something like this. What to do...?

In Shan Yimo's considerations, directly denying herself accounts for 70%, indirectly denying her accounts for 20%, indirectly expressing some goodwill accounts for 8%, and so on. However, directly stating that he likes her accounts for less than 1% of the possibility in Shan Yimo's mind...

How could this not shock her? For a moment, she couldn't quite remember what had happened between her and Guangchang. She only suddenly remembered seeing him sitting on the sofa not far from the room before she woke up, remembering him comforting her, remembering him bringing Baiying to her side, remembering him almost being hit by a car, remembering his words, "I won't die," remembering him actively running around for her, remembering him finding a new classroom for Maomao...

Once she thought of one thing, a series of other things would immediately come to mind, and Shan Yimo's shocked state gradually subsided.

Then she remembered another thing, and it was because of this that she had been avoiding Guang Chen.

"The president said that you hugged."

It's concise and to the point; anyone who responds to it would break out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, Guangchang understands Shan Yimo's personality well enough; she just tends to jump straight to the point, which makes some of the conversations seem abrupt.

Guangchang had long anticipated this, after all, based on past experience, the three core members of the student council could talk about anything, and Lao Sun had even set a rule that was extremely beneficial to him. It was normal for Yan Xingmeng to share this information with the other two, so Shan Yimo was now puzzled.

However, in the truth mode, Guangchang has no intention of hiding anything. If he doesn't lie, he doesn't need to cover up the previous lie with an even bigger one.

"Ah."

"He hugged the president, and then said he liked me?"

Ah, how sharp and cold the tone was, it felt like it was about to pierce Guangchang's skin.

"That's indeed the case, I'm sorry." Guang Changchen's reaction was also very calm; he didn't want to lie to the other party, that was all.

Shan Yimo glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, still puzzled, and asked, "Do you like the president too?"

Guangchang raised his head, thought for a moment, and said slowly, "We can't rule out that possibility... After all, I was attracted to her before. When she hugged me, my heart beat very fast. When I was with her, I also felt like I wanted to stay with her a little longer."

"A cunning answer."

"Haha, really?" Guangchang laughed awkwardly.

"So liking me is also a possibility, right? I hope you can make things clear."

“No, liking you is a fact, and I don’t want to deny it,” Guangchang replied, shaking his head.

Wait a minute, this statement...

Shan Yimo's mouth opened slightly, disbelief reappearing on her face. After a long while, she finally spoke, stating her conclusion: "You mean, you like me more now..."

"The word 'a little more' is a bit subtle... Although subtle, it is still correct."

Shan Yimo gasped, even shifting her body slightly backward. This was something she had never imagined. The president absolutely could not find out about this! That was the first thought that popped into Shan Yimo's head.

How could it have gotten like this...?

When did the two of them quickly escalate from being relatively close friends to this level of relationship?

This silence lasted much longer, and Shan Yimo couldn't recover for a long time. Even when she came to her senses, she could only open her mouth, not knowing how to answer. Guang Chen wondered if it would be better to change the topic.

Should we wait, or change the subject?
