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

Chen Nuanxin suddenly felt that all her preparations had gone to waste, and she slumped helplessly against the railing.

"It should be fine. Let's go out and relax this weekend," Guangchang said.

"Uh-huh!"

"Qianwen, come here for a second." Chen Nuanxin pulled the excited Zhou Qianwen away, walking seven or eight meters away and turning a corner into a new corridor. Facing this girl who backed down at the crucial moment, Chen Nuanxin was a little disappointed. She puffed out her cheeks and said, "Didn't we say that the two of you should go out alone?"

Unable to meet Nuan Xin's soul-piercing gaze, Zhou Qianwen could only guiltily look away at the ground, muttering, "In that situation just now... I couldn't very well say it was just the two of us, and what if I had been rejected?"

Chen Nuanxin stared blankly at Zhou Qianwen, who was not only beautiful and academically excellent but had also become a core member of the student council. Suddenly, she was furious. She frowned, raised her right hand, and slapped Zhou Qianwen hard across the buttocks. With a loud crack, Zhou Qianwen cried out in pain and arched her body forward.

"It hurts so much..." Zhou Qianwen covered her bottom with both hands, looking aggrieved, and stared at Chen Nuanxin with her watery eyes.

Chen Nuanxin then pinned her against the wall, her 1.55-meter frame pressing against a 1.65-meter-tall woman. The scene looked quite incongruous. Chen Nuanxin poked at her ample curves with her finger and gritted her teeth, saying, "Could you please be clear about your own position? Being beautiful without realizing it is a major flaw!"

“How could this happen…” Zhou Qianwen was rather soft-hearted and could only be completely manipulated by Chen Nuanxin. However, she knew in her heart that Nuanxin was doing it for her own good, and that she was just not very capable.

Over this period of time, Zhou Qianwen had seen Chen Nuanxin's help and encouragement, and a strange feeling had unconsciously arisen within her. Perhaps this feeling would have remained buried deep in her heart throughout high school, but it was because of a perceptive and straightforward friend like Nuanxin that she was able to express this feeling. Therefore, Zhou Qianwen was very grateful to Chen Nuanxin.

"If you like something, it doesn't bother anyone else, but at the same time, don't let others look down on you!"

"No, no, no, it's not that I like him yet. It's just that I'm a little curious about Guang and want to know some things about him..." Zhou Qianwen said shyly with her head down. Her hesitant appearance made Chen Nuanxin unable to resist and wanting to slap her again. After Zhou Qianwen realized this, she covered her buttocks again and pressed herself against the wall without moving.

In this world where love reigns supreme, all love is justified, and the winds of love from Guangchang Chen begin to blow, but Guangchang Chen himself has a completely different view on this.

Guangchang Chen leaned against the railing outside the classroom, slowly bending down, gazing at the clear blue sky, and muttered to himself, "Love is out of the question..."

……

"There are still so many things to do when I get home. Should I catch up on the old anime series, or play some games first?" Chen Nuanxin pondered, rubbing her chin. It was Friday afternoon, and the upcoming weekend had made all the students in the school restless. After all, the weekend meant they could go out with their boyfriends or girlfriends and create more memorable romantic memories. Their restless hearts couldn't be suppressed!

"As a veteran anime fan, do you still have any older anime series you haven't finished watching? Which one is it?" Guangchang asked.

"grim Reaper."

"Huh? Grim Reaper, didn't you finish watching it?"

“Yeah, I watched it once myself, then rewatched it, and now I’m watching other content creators’ re-views.” Chen Nuanxin said straightforwardly, counting on her fingers.

"Ha... watching other YouTubers watch anime, is that interesting?"

"Of course!" Chen Nuanxin replied eagerly.

Adhering to the principle that the meaning of life is meaningless and the preciousness of time lies in wasting time, Guangchang could only nod in agreement. In the end, he still spent his time on himself and didn't waste it on dating like those men and women, which was already quite good. His requirements for being heartwarming were naturally lower.

"Boss, can you buy me a torch to eat?" Chen Nuanxin's thoughts changed quickly, and she suddenly asked.

September, after the rain, brought scorching heat, undoubtedly caused by global warming. The temperature soared to 36 degrees Celsius. Guang Chen had previously read reports about why mosquitoes are almost invisible in summer nowadays. That's because mosquitoes generally cannot survive temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius. In previous years, with temperatures reaching 40 degrees Celsius, not a single mosquito could be seen.

"Again, ice cream? I had iced cola at noon and ice cream in the afternoon. It's been like this for several days in a row."

"No problem, boss, I'll drink sugar-free Coke!" Chen Nuanxin said firmly.

"What does this have to do with sugar-free?!"

Stepping out of the classroom, it got even hotter. I called Zhou Qianwen, and the three of us went to the supermarket downstairs in the teaching building to buy ice cream. I remember that in the past, Guang Chen would buy iced bayberries to make the coolness last longer. They melted slowly, and you could keep them cool for a while.

"Then, I'll treat you to ice cream," Zhou Qianwen said.

"No need, I'll do it." Guang Chen considered himself to be from the wealthiest family among the trio, and he didn't care about money.

The three of them walked around the circular flower bed. At this time, many people in the school were participating in various clubs. Guang Guangchen and his friends were considered to be free. Looking around, there were quite a few people. They were still about ten meters away from the supermarket. Guang Guangchen was thinking about what kind of ice cream to buy when suddenly, a figure blocked his way.

Guangchang, Chen, and the other two noticed the unfamiliar girl in front of them, who was wearing a first-year high school uniform.

I've never seen it before, I'm sure I've never seen it before.

"Um, could you spare a moment to listen to me for a few words?" The girl's voice was sweet and coquettish, suggesting a gentle and sweet personality. However, judging from her posture and demeanor, all three of them quickly realized something: the fingers being constantly manipulated, the blushing cheeks, the eyes that dared not look directly at her... This was clearly progress in that direction!

Guangchang was also stunned.

Is the wind still blowing...?

16. Just an impulsive liking

How could that be? What if it's just my imagination?

Clinging to a sliver of hope, Guangchang Chen refocused his attention on the girl in front of him and asked, "Is something the matter?"

Chen Nuanxin, who was standing to the side, kept getting alarms from the information she had received. She frowned slightly and grabbed her boss's arm, while Zhou Qianwen was completely stunned.

"Hello, I... I've actually fallen for you at first sight! So, if it's alright, could we exchange contact information?"

Wow, perfectly accurate information capture.

This high school girl was quite direct. Was she the kind of person who was very outgoing and straightforward? She didn't seem like it. After confessing her feelings, she seemed to have lost all her courage. Her tightly clenched hands were trembling slightly. It seemed like she had come prepared mentally.

So what will Guangchang do at this time?

Chen Nuanxin was curious about the boss's decision, as was Zhou Qianwen.

He sized up the first-year high school girl. She was cute-looking and about 1.6 meters tall, especially with the silver lion badge pinned to her chest… Silver? Was she a newly promoted ordinary member of the student council? Like Hiro, so did that mean the two of them might know each other?

Zhou Qianwen stared blankly at Guangchang.

Chen Nuanxin asked first in a low voice, "Boss, the badge... do you know her?"

At this point, Guangchang also noticed this and responded, "I have no recollection of it at all. Student council work is like taking on a task; I basically didn't pay attention to the twenty or thirty people in it."

"Looks like he's serious, boss..."

Guangchang could easily see that it was genuine, especially since he possessed the "favorability rating" cheat code, which would expose any false emotional deception in front of him! A quick scan of the favorability rating revealed 54 points, which, to be precise, wasn't quite at the level of liking. With that, Guangchang was relieved.

Guangchang took a step forward, while the first-year high school girl was too nervous to move.

"I'm afraid that won't work, I'm sorry," Guangchang said bluntly.

They didn't even seem interested in talking or getting to know each other? They just rejected me like that?

The high school freshman girl thought she was quite good-looking, so she was surprised and a little hurt by being rejected outright.

"Yes, is it because you don't like my type?"

"No, it has nothing to do with the type of person you're talking to. It's just that I can't accept such a sudden confession."

"Then we can add each other's contact information and chat," the first-year high school girl said, still hoping to persevere a little longer, but Guangchang shook his head and refused once again.

"What was the trigger for your feelings for me?" Guangchang asked immediately.

The first-year high school girl glanced at him, then looked away, and slowly said, "Well, it was during the exam results at the beginning of the semester that you stood up for that girl. Not only me, but a lot of people saw it, and they all thought you were really cool... Plus, we both joined the student council afterward! I think this might be fate's arrangement..."

Wow, fate's arrangement—in this world, it really can be explained by the words "fate's arrangement."

Guangchang let out a long breath and said, "I'm sorry, but I still can't accept it."

The high school girl spoke so sincerely, but Guang Chen still refused, which surprised the two girls next to her. They never expected that their usually gentle leader would so decisively reject a girl's confession.

"Can... tell me why?" the first-year high school girl asked persistently, her head bowed.

Guangchang explained, “Because you actually know nothing about me. My personality, my personal life, my hobbies, whether you feel comfortable around me, and so on are all unknown. Under such circumstances, you have fallen for me, and I feel that this liking is mixed with a bit of impulsiveness.”

"That's why I said I wanted to know..."

"I'm sorry, I don't have any plans to date right now. As for friendships, I hope they're limited to working relationships within the student council." Guang Guangchen's answer was quite resolute, which surprised the girl and was completely different from the image she had of him.

Immediately, the favorability rating dropped from 52 points to 43 points, and it continues to decline.

This is a romantic relationship tinged with longing. People who like to fantasize about each other will instantly lose interest once they actually get to know each other and discover that things aren't right for them. Whether they can adapt to this incompatibility becomes the beginning of this agonizing relationship, and Guangchang Chen doesn't want to go through that.

The first-year high school girl was completely stunned. Guang Chen gently tugged at Chen Nuanxin, who was also unresponsive, and continued walking towards the supermarket, while Zhou Qianwen remained rooted to the spot.

Hearing this, Zhou Qianwen was deeply moved. She only caught up when Guang Chen turned around and called her name. When she passed the high school girl, she saw her with her head down and her eyes red. She was momentarily stunned, and her heart was in turmoil.

But weren't Guang Guangchen's words also meant for Zhou Qianwen behind him? If it weren't for this situation, and he were meeting this high school girl alone, Guang Guangchen might have been even more resolute in his words...

A moment of impulsive emotion led to a confession. In reality, a 60-point favorability rating is what true liking is, and 52 points is not even the lowest point. It was just because of the impulse. After being rejected, the favorability rating plummeted. Such a relationship is meaningless. Guangchang Chen is not against relationships, but believes that a sincere relationship should not be a torment.

Hopefully, Qianwen can understand this as well. Guangchang Chen turned to look at Qianwen; her expression wasn't good, and his favorability towards her was fluctuating...

……

"Heartwarming, do you think I should go again this weekend?" Zhou Qianwen asked hesitantly.

Chen Nuanxin watched her boss leave when she heard Qianwen say this. She naturally understood what Qianwen was thinking. After thinking for a moment, she crossed her arms and said, "Go."

"why?"

“Give each other more opportunities to get to know each other. If you’re really compatible, you’ll definitely be together.” Chen Nuanxin mentioned the word “compatible.” This was an idea that Guangchang Chen had mentioned an hour or two ago. What if you’re not compatible? What if it’s just an impulsive relationship? Zhou Qianwen also began to doubt her own feelings. She even felt that she couldn’t be as good as that high school girl.

"Yes, I understand. Thank you, that's so kind of you." Zhou Qianwen smiled faintly.

"Want to go for a walk together after school?"

"Yeah, sure."

“Okay! Time for some free time with my besties!” Chen Nuanxin said, clenching her fist.

Best friends...

Having a warm-hearted best friend must be a great feeling.

"Mmm!" Zhou Qianwen's gloomy expression vanished, and a smile gradually appeared on her face. Then, Chen Nuanxin took her arm, and the two left the school together.

"Heartwarming, since you're so clingy to Guang, don't you even like him?"

"Yes, I like him! Of course I like the boss, but it's a different kind of liking, more like the liking between a man and a woman..."

Chen Nuanxin fell into deep thought. After seven or eight seconds, her expression became blank, and she said, her mind blank, "I can't imagine it at all..."

17. No self-pity allowed! (4K dual-media)

……

Sunday.

Guang Chen arrived at the team-building store as promised, bought a cup of milk tea and waited quietly. They had agreed to meet in school as a trio, but based on his understanding of Qian Wen back then, wouldn't it be just the two of them meeting today? She had witnessed the whole scene when he confessed to her and rejected her on Friday afternoon, so it shouldn't be hard for her to understand, right?

He took a sip of milk tea, and the overly sweet and refreshing taste made him feel comfortable. Whether he drinks milk tea or coffee, he always chooses 70% or full sugar. When it comes to drinks, you can just call him the sugar freak.

I was still a little uneasy, worried that only Qianwen would come. If that happened, today would be a date in disguise. We had only known each other for less than a month, and we had worked hard to build a friendship. If I refused, it would be difficult for us to get along in the future.

Guangchang Chen looked up and thought. Qianwen's favorability towards him had not yet broken through sixty points. Although her favorability fluctuated after he rejected that girl, it remained in a fluctuating phase, unlike that girl who instantly turned on him and whose favorability plummeted.

If I met a girl like Qianwen after I entered university, that would really be a great choice...

As Guangchang Chen was pondering, a shout rang out from afar. He looked toward the sound and saw Chen Nuanxin rushing toward him with two large bags of desserts. In that instant, the pressure that had been building up inside Guangchang Chen was suddenly released. That's great... There was no cliché of making excuses to not come. In the end, Nuanxin was brought here after all.

This way, the three of them can still have fun together, which is fantastic news!

"Oh!" Guang Guangchen waved in response, while searching for Qianwen's figure. After searching around, he found that Qianwen was not with Nuanxin, which made Guang Guangchen sense something was wrong.

Until Chen Nuanxin got closer, her eyes remained fixed on the milk tea in Guangchang's hand.

"I'll just order you a drink. Where's Qianwen?"

"She didn't arrive? I wasn't with her. I texted her this morning and she said she would come." At this point, Chen Nuanxin pursed her lips, as if saying "she would come" had revealed something.

"Did she even tell you she wouldn't come?" Guang Chen let out a long sigh. It was Qian Wen who invited him, but in the end, it was she who wanted to find an excuse not to come. The only variable was his remarks about rejecting the confession on Friday afternoon, which still affected Qian Wen's mood.

Chen Nuanxin's mouth was slightly open, and she repeatedly wanted to speak, but she didn't know how to explain. She could only wave her hands haphazardly, trying to deny something.

"It's not time yet, let's wait a bit longer. If Qianwen doesn't come, it'll just be the two of us." Guangchang wasn't angry, but he felt a little regretful. Would this cause a distance between them in the future? Does this world always lead to romance between opposite sexes? Can't it be a pure friendship like his with Nuanxin?

Guangchang looked at Chen Nuanxin, whose desperate attempt to conceal yet ultimately exposed her appearance was somewhat adorable. He reached out and ruffled her hair. Calling it friendship was a bit inaccurate; Nuanxin was more like a pet that would spawn at a fixed point and need to be fed. He would periodically increase his affection for her, and then she would automatically follow him.

"Okay! Let's wait a little longer, boss. Let's have some cream puffs. I bought giant cream puffs, one for each of us." Chen Nuanxin showed off the three super-sized cream puffs she bought, still believing that Qianwen would come.

The agreed time was 10:00, and the two waited until 10:10. Both felt a little empty inside, but neither could bring themselves to say goodbye. Guang Chen finished the last sip of his milk tea, and it was about time...

"Heartwarming!" Just then, a familiar voice rang out from afar. Guang Chen and the other person were startled, and then turned their gazes across the street with surprise. Zhou Qianwen, wearing a long dress and carrying a small white bag, was running over.

Qianwen still came to keep her appointment; the trio hadn't broken up yet!

The two quickly went up to greet her, and after they met, Chen Nuanxin hugged Qianwen tightly and whispered in her ear, "I thought you weren't coming, Qianwen..."

"Sorry, there was a bit of traffic on the way. Sorry to keep you waiting." Zhou Qianwen said, panting heavily. It seemed like she had run all the way here, not because of traffic. It was more like she changed her mind halfway and rushed over. After all, she hadn't replied to his WeChat message. Guangchang Chen didn't ask any more questions about that.

"Here, have a cream puff!" Chen Nuanxin loosened her embrace, then picked up the remaining large cream puff with both hands and handed it to Zhou Qianwen.

"Wow, it's huge!" Zhou Qianwen exclaimed in surprise. She took the giant cream puff, slowly tilted her head back, looked at the team building hall upstairs, and then said with a smile, "Let's go play there."

He seems to be in a very good mood.

"Wow!" Chen Nuanxin cheered, raising her right hand.
