Chapter 310: Chapter 310

"What’s Young Master Leng up to? Why suddenly asking about Luuo Yunqi? Is he thinking of switching his affections?" a guy nearby asked.

Zeng Liang knocked his head: "Shut your mouth, stop babbling, Mr. Jiang must have his reasons."

After thinking it over, Zeng Liang felt that although Young Master Leng was someone who judged people by their looks, he wasn’t shallow enough to like a girl who just put on a front.

But he still couldn’t figure out what Young Master Leng was planning, so he just did as he was asked.

Shen You’an stayed in the library until the end of lunch break, carrying a few books to the counter to borrow them.

Liu Runxi also took a book, "Introduction to Infinitesimal Analysis".

The two were handsome and beautiful, famous at school, and the lady at the front desk couldn’t help but sneak a few more glances.

After completing the borrowing process, they left together with the books in their arms.

The lady immediately took out her phone, opened the forum, and started to catch up on gossip.

After some turbulence, the choice for the school belle was finally settled.

On the forum, people were practically dying from shock upon hearing Leng Yunyang’s comment: "I, Young Master Leng, don’t want to do a photo shoot with an ugly woman."

The woman that Young Master Leng called ugly was, of course, Luuo Yunqi.

But he openly admitted to helping Shen You’an with the voting. Did he think Shen You’an was the prettiest?

The posts shipping the two of them saw a surge in replies on the forum.

Amid a group of replies shipping Shen You’an and Leng Yunyang, one post by a user with the ID "Library Gossip Lady" caught everyone’s attention.

"—Isn’t it obvious that Liu and Shen actually make the best pair, first and second, meeting at the peak, KSWL."

Liu... first and second, meeting at the peak—it was too obvious.

This conspicuous comment from Gossip Lady immediately attracted various replies—just shipping anyone will ruin you.

"—Lady, you can’t ship these two, it’ll lead to trouble."

"—Young Master Leng is just a playboy, but what kind of family background does Mr. Liu have? How could he ever be interested in Shen You’an? Not long ago, she offended Mrs. Liu, so Mr. Liu would probably find even looking at her disagreeable."

Gossip Lady kindly replied to this comment—"How could that be? I just saw them exchanging notes and studying together in the library. Liu is such a gentleman and warm-hearted, he even poured hot water for Shen. They were standing together with a harmonious aura and similar thoughts, they truly match."

Gossip Lady replied in a very naive tone.

The other party was obviously somewhat embarrassed and angry—"How is that possible, are you kidding?" The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novel_fіre.net

"—Whether you believe it or not is none of my business. I’m just sharing what I felt from what I saw. Are you mad? What’s there to be mad about? It’s strange. If you could take first place, Liu would be glad to learn from you too. The key is, do you have that ability?"

Gossip Lady was able to single-handedly disrupt the post shipping the pair, and in the end, everybody’s attention was on Shen You’an and Liu Runxi.

Until the two of them walked into the classroom one after the other, Class A fell into complete silence, complex gazes turned towards the two of them.

Neither of them was around during lunch. What a coincidence, looks like everything Gossip Lady said was true.

Although Shen You’an felt the gazes were a bit piercing, she didn’t think much of it and went straight back to her seat.

As for Liu Runxi, he had always ignored the gazes, holding his book as he returned to his seat.

Yan Lu whispered: "Hey, tablemate, you went to the library with Shen?"

This question was a bit too bold, but she couldn’t hold back.

She thought Liu Runxi wouldn’t respond, but he directly admitted it this time.

It left Yan Lu speechless.

Since when were they so close?

She instinctively glanced at Liu Runxi. His face was calm and composed, with a hint of newfound confidence and assurance.

Everyone assumed Liu Runxi wouldn’t give Shen You’an a nice look because of Mrs. Liu, though considering the boy’s manners, he wouldn’t make it obvious. Still, it was absolutely impossible for the two of them to be friends.

After all, they had been classmates for several years but had never spoken, right?

The only connection they might have had was probably their names being side by side on the grade rankings each time.

If it weren’t for the library lady exposing the truth on the forum, who would’ve known?

Yan Lu soon came to terms with it; probably because they were both top students and had more in common.

Yan Lu instinctively looked in Leng Yunyang’s direction.

This young master was sleeping away, so calm and collected.

During the last self-study session, Shen You’an was called to the office by Shen Huailu.

Shen Huailu rubbed his hands together, smiling: "Shen, congratulations to you."

Shen You’an raised an eyebrow, "Director Shen, I have quite a bit of homework to do."

Implying, be quick with it; don’t waste my time.

"According to our school’s rules, we need to pick a pair of students with a good image to shoot a promotional video to be displayed on the school’s and the corporation’s websites. You were voted school belle by all the students, Shen, so there’s no escaping this."

Shen You’an said blandly: "I don’t have time, you should pick someone else."

"How can that be? Rules are rules, Shen, it’s definitely you."

Shen You’an silently cursed Leng Yunyang once more. If she had known earlier, she would’ve hacked into the forum and made Leng Yunyang do a photoshoot with the person he hated the most.

Seeing Shen You’an’s displeased expression, Shen Huailu deliberated and said: "Shen, if you help the school with this, I can give you extra credits."

Credits are important for winning scholarships at the end of the semester, but with Shen You’an’s exceptional grades, she never lacked credits, so what allure did this offer have?

Shen Huailu scratched his nose: "Shen, to comply with the education bureau’s regulations, the credit system changed after entering high school. It no longer relies solely on grades but includes comprehensive evaluations from arts, sports, labor, and teacher evaluations. Look, you haven’t attended any art or physical education classes, so naturally, you have no credits. It’s going to be tough for you to snag the top scholarship this term."

Shen You’an gave Shen Huailu a look that was hard to describe.

"What did I ever do to deserve you racking your brains to find a way to deal with me?"

Shen Huailu gritted his teeth: "Just tell me what it’ll take for you to agree."

Shen You’an raised an eyebrow: "Who is the boy I’ll be shooting the promo with?"

Shen Huailu was taken aback, not understanding why she suddenly asked this. Wasn’t it common knowledge throughout the whole school? "Of course, it’s Leng Yunyang."

Shen You’an smiled sweetly: "I propose to host a school hunk competition, and the winner will get to shoot the promo with me. Everything should be done fairly. There’s no such thing as a free lunch, Director Shen, wouldn’t you agree?"

Being inexplicably pushed into the spotlight annoyed Shen You’an.

This time, she intended to take back control.

If you want to do a photoshoot with me, dream on.
