"Class 1?!"
"Class rep, are you sure?!"
Quite a few people got excited. "Does that mean Han Qinglu will be there?!"
[Holy shit!]
[Han Qinglu!]
[The most powerful queen-type woman in this novel!]
[What a shame that someone as amazing as her is only a supporting character!]
[A cannon-fodder supporting character even the villainess Tan Nianzhi gets to walk all over!]
[This author is the world's biggest rich-hater!]
[Ugh, the author hates beautiful, badass women with minds of their own!]
[Damn it, Han Qinglu doesn't end well.]
The more He Zhen heard, the more his brows unconsciously furrowed.
At first, he had simply wanted to use the guys in his class to avoid his so-called romantic battlefield.
He hadn't expected to hear this!
So what happened to Han Qinglu?
[No, no, this isn't the time to think about that!]
He Zhen: ...
No, hurry up and think about it!
[It's all over!]
[He Zhen actually changed the plot!]
[This never happened in the original novel!!!]
"I think we're all college students now. We can't spend every day thinking about barbecues and nothing but food."
"Exactly. Why don't we go plant trees too?"
"Which park, class rep?!"
"Oh, please. You guys just want to see Han Qinglu, don't you?"
"Why don't you look in a mirror and ask yourselves whether you're good enough for her?!"
"Ahem, um, if Class 1 is going, does that mean Cheng Yu will be there too?!"
"Um..."
The girl who had been shouting the loudest quietly changed the subject. "I think we can have a barbecue anytime, anywhere. Planting trees in a park would do more to promote unity in our class!"
"Now that's real team building!"
"Hey, hey, hey, where's all that fire you had when you were insulting us guys?"
[Oh my God, what are you bunch of horndogs doing!!!]
[Aaaaaah, don't you want your Qin Zhen anymore?!]
[Aaaaaaaah!]
[How is Cheng Yu anywhere near as good-looking as Qin Zhen?!!!]
[Girls!]
[Cutting off someone's income is like murdering their parents!]
[Sure, Cheng Yu is great, but wouldn't it be obvious who's selling the photos?!!!]
[Please, blend into the crowd and go to the barbecue! Aaaaaaaah!]
Yao Tao was practically screaming herself mad inside her head.
He Zhen was practically being deafened by her too.
She was even secretly selling people's photos!
That was illegal, okay?
Did she want to land herself in jail?!
"Yes, Han Qinglu and Cheng Yu will both be there." He Zhen's confirmation was undoubtedly a shot in the arm.
"If both of them are going, Zeng Rou definitely won't miss it either!"
"Oh my God!"
The tide turned in an instant.
Seeing which way things were going, Yao Tao muttered reluctantly, "Qin Zhen. Barbecue."
Those few words were quickly drowned out by the girls talking over one another.
"Qin Zhen is good-looking, but he's in the spotlight. We can see him anytime!"
"Exactly! Cheng Yu is a junior, and she keeps a really low profile, okay?!"
"Right, right. Once they're seniors, we won't get to see any of them!"
"Exactly, exactly!"
[Seriously, you fickle women who fall for every pretty face!]
[My money!]
Yao Tao could already see her funds ticking down: -1, -1, -1, -1, -1.
Selling photos of Cheng Yu was too risky.
There weren't many people around. They could figure out who she was just by comparing them!
She didn't dare.
[Babe, how could you cut off my income like this?!]
[Babe, a little heartbreak won't kill you, but having no money will!]
[Babe, you forced my hand!]
"I think Fu Xin is going to the barbecue too." Refusing to give up, Yao Tao sidled over to He Zhen.
[Can you really bear to leave your precious Fu Xin?!]
"What about it?" He Zhen looked at her in amusement. So Yao Tao, who kept thinking about him and calling him "babe" at every turn, had still put him below money?
"Fu Xin. She's going to the barbecue. With Qin Zhen." Yao Tao was stunned!
[Babe, something's wrong with you!!!]
"She has the right to choose who she spends time with." He Zhen noticed that the girls around them went unusually quiet as he answered Yao Tao's question. After that silence, all sorts of meaningful expressions appeared on their faces!
He Zhen: ...
He unconsciously touched the tip of his nose, feeling oddly nervous.
"Class rep, did you and Fu Xin break up?"
"Class rep, do you think I have a chance?"
"What blessed day is this?"
Yao Tao was soon squeezed out by the girls.
[Damn it!]
[Hah! Women!]
[What happened to your Cheng Yu?!!!]
[Damn it!]
[I hate fickle people the most!]
[So which game should I buy a 648 top-up for first to soothe my wounded soul?!!!]
"All right, stop crowding around He Zhen." Zhang Hansong let out a sigh of relief.
Being the organizing committee member might have seemed like a cushy job most of the time, but team-building events gave him a splitting headache!
Once he finished arranging everything, he had to report to the Youth League secretary, who then reported to the teacher.
If they had gone with a barbecue, he would have worked himself to death!
Thank goodness He Zhen had saved his life!
Planting trees was great!
It could even boost the school's reputation!
He really loved their class rep!
While Zhang Hansong adored He Zhen, Yao Tao's brain had already crashed.
[Damn it, the disasters are stacking up!]
Rage clouded Yao Tao's mind.
[Aaaaaah, Mercury is in retrograde! It's in retrograde!]
[Who cares about planting trees?!]
[I want to see rivers of blood!]
[I want to see a romantic battlefield!]
[I want to get rich selling Qin Zhen's photos!]
[Aaaaaah!]
[He Zhen!]
Yao Tao glared at him angrily.
[I hereby declare that you're no longer my darling!]
[At least not today!!!]
Surrounded by a crowd of girls, He Zhen's lips curved upward.
"What are you all crowding around in the classroom for?!" The teacher knocked on the classroom door. "Get moving!"
Only then did everyone find their friends and leave together.
Some girls even took the opportunity to confess their feelings, only to be gently turned down by He Zhen.
Yao Tao left too, sulkily messaging Bai Jianai.
[I don't want to see you today!]
[Damn it!]
[The plot changed!]
Still fuming, Yao Tao suddenly came to her senses.
[Wait, isn't a change a good thing???]
[No, no!]
[He Zhen definitely isn't that kind of person. Has he actually started using the Thirty-Six Stratagems?!]
[Just for Fu Xin???]
[Isn't Fu Xin only wavering because she's sure He Zhen will never leave her?!]
[So He Zhen is backing himself into a corner to turn things around?!]
He Zhen: ...
Faced with Yao Tao, He Zhen felt that words were utterly useless.
Speechless.
"Yao Tao." With his shoulder bag slung over him, He Zhen walked toward her. Compared with his own romantic battlefield, he was a little more concerned about Han Qinglu.
Sorry, but I want to take just a little advantage of Yao Tao's thoughts.
"What is it?" Yao Tao was all smiles on the outside and cursing him out on the inside.
[You're not my darling today!]
[Speaking nicely to you is the last of my tenderness!]
[Got it?]
