âBecause youâre Chu Jingnan!â Wen Xinyaâs red lips, soft and tender like flower petals, every crease on her lips so shockingly fine and delicate, fluttered slightly as they exhaled and gnawed on these four words. Her face changed unpredictablyâwith every word said, her expression became more bone-chilling. And when she had finished reciting his name, her expression was frosty-cold like shaved iceâchilly and sharp.
Chu Jingnan realized with fear that with her chewing of every word, endless sense of coldness gathered from the surroundings and gushed fiercely towards himâa young, merely fifteen years old girl actually possessed such frightening gaze and demeanor.
But, she was all burningly elegant, magnificently classy, overwhelmingly dominant!
As though everything stood to reason.
âWhat do you mean?â Chu Jingnan looked towards her pair of eyes, pitch-black and bright, seemingly without a hint of turmoil. However, she could see the hidden chaos in them, as though hiding an earth-shattering secret, waiting for him to painstakingly investigate and uncover the truth.
Wen Xinya smiled silently.
The more she didnât answer, the more he wanted to investigateâthus, he probed aggressively. âIf I remember correctly, itâs Miss Wenâs first time here at Lan Feng. How then would you know my name? Unless you already knew me previously?â
The way this girl looked at himâhe wouldnât be wrongâshe must have known him previously.
âOnce Iâve stepped into the grounds of Lan Feng, Iâve heard President Chuâs reputable name so many times that my ears feel weary.â Only then did Wen Xinya shockingly realize that she had already revealed too many emotions unknowingly, making her very vexed. She smiled bitterly uncontrollablyâafter a rebirth, she had thought she could face Chu Jingnan calmly, but she didnât expect that she still couldnât do it.
However, Chu Jingnan persisted endlessly. âNope, this isnât the reason.â
âThis is Chu Jingnan, whom I believe you guys are familiar with. Heâd previously held the position of the head of social activities in the student union and performed excellently at it. In the future, heâll replace my previous position as the president, becoming the newly elected president of the student union.â Frowning slightly, Zhong Rufeng interrupted Chu Jingnan and introduced him to the people in the room.
He didnât like Wen Xinya placing her eyes on Chu Jingnan, because when she looked at Chu Jingnan, in her eyes, even in her world, it was only Chu Jingnan alone.
He sensitively felt the hidden turmoil between Wen Xinya and Chu Jingnan. When looking at Chu Jingnan, Wen Xinyaâs eyes encompassed too many emotions entangled togetherâthere was totally nowhere he could start making sense from. However, he could confirm that Wen Xinya must have known Chu Jingnan, and had unforgettable feelings towards him, similar to the kind with a mix of resentment and hatredâ¦
Such a realization made him gloomy for no reason.
However, he felt perplexedâit seemed like Chu Jingnan didnât know Wen Xinya. How then could the estrangement between Wen Xinya and Chu Jingnan have arisen?
Chu Jingnan retracted his gaze from Wen Xinya and mildly scanned the few girls in the room. âHi, everyone. Appreciate your advice in the future.â
His mild tone was humble, but not self-deprecating at all.
Compared to Chu Jingnan, the graceful gentleman, Zhong Rufeng was like the bright moon in the sky, radiating mild elegance and charm, within sight but beyond reach. Thus, besides Jiang Ruoyin whose gaze had been stuck onto Zhong Rufeng from the moment he stepped through the door, everyoneâs eyes naturally landed on Chu Jingnan.
Chu Jingnan looked towards Jiang Ruoyin steadily. âUnder my charge, I donât wish to see any more of such cases of student union members bickering and having a conflict with ordinary students. Proceed to complete Miss Wenâs related procedures now!â
Jiang Ruoyin felt extremely sorry for herself and looked at Wen Xinya with a sense of jealousy and hatredâall because of her, she had been reprimanded by both Senior Zhong and President Chu.
Jiang Yuqian looked at Chu Jingnan with butterflies in her stomach, thinking that it was a good opportunity to make conversation with President Chu. Determined to leave a good impression on President Chu, she pretended to explain in a fluster. âPresident, youâve misunderstood. Ruoyin wasnât unwilling to help her with her proceduresâitâs just that you came over before she could do it.â
Xia Ruxue also chipped in hurriedly. âYup, I can testifyâRuoyin has never said anything like she was unwilling to help Wen Xinya with her procedures.â Saying which, she hung her head, then secretly raised it again to observe his expression.
Xia Ruya added, âXinya, did you misunderstand Miss Jiangâpreviously when I came over for my procedures, Miss Jiang had politely completed them for me?â
Xia Ruya sized Chu Jingnan up obscurelyâhis brows were sparse, and his clear eyes seemed to glow like jade, pure and bountiful, yet without any sharpness, with five qualitiesâwarm, benevolent, compassionate, gentlemanly, and gracefulâsuch qualities described him perfectly!
The gentle voice with a tinge of tenderness was very elegant and pleasantâChu Jingnan instinctively looked over and saw a young girl in a pink dress. Her innocent features were like the first dew on the tip of a pink lotus, looking fresh and beautiful, yet radiating pure seductiveness. She sat there in a graceful posture, demonstrating an aura of elegance.
Chu Jingnan instantly liked her.
Xia Ruyaâs words were innocent and puzzled, as though the incident of the four of them making things difficult for Wen Xinya never happened. Everyone would definitely be led to think that the differential treatment of Jiang Ruoyin towards Xia Ruya and Wen Xinya had been caused by Wen Xinya.
Wen Xinya looked Jiang Ruoyin plainly, and said sarcastically, âI also wonder how did I offend Miss Jiang today to cause her to be unwilling to help me with my procedures.â Saying which, she turned towards Xia Ruya and said, âDear Miss Xia, I donât remember a character like you within my friends and relatives. Weâre not that close. Hence, please address me as Miss Wen in the future.â
Xia Ruya suddenly widened her crystal-like eyes which fogged up rapidly, as if she was about to weep, like a delicate flower braving the storm, trembling and shaking, showing her weakness and innocence with all her might. âXinya, after all, weâ¦â
Wen Xinya asked mildly, âAfter all what?â
Xia Ruya bit down on her lips firmly, her tender red lips rapidly turning deep red from the concentration of blood, radiating a mild seductiveness. âMiss Wen, I crossed the line just now, hope to seek your forgiveness.â
Wen Xinya nodded plainlyâunder such circumstances, why would Xia Ruya put her own cards on the table?
Chu Jingnan felt that Xia Ruya was gentle and kind, and Wen Xinya instead appeared aggressive. However, his eyes were uncontrollably attracted to her. âSince itâs just a misunderstanding, Miss Jiang, trouble you to help Miss Wen with her required procedures!â
Such a statement subdued all the unhappiness with a powerful aura that couldnât be challenged.
