"Ah--"
" Young Master Gu is awesome!!!"
"666666..."
"..."
As soon as Gu Zexuan finished speaking, the playground erupted in cheers.
Although he seemed to be just asking Le Gu Nan which school she was going to, it was practically a confession of love, especially in front of the entire school.
"Ah, if a guy confessed to me like that, I would definitely say yes!" one girl immediately exclaimed.
On the stage, the head of academic affairs glanced sideways towards the principal's position with some concern.
"Principal, this?"
"It's nothing, it's nothing, I was just asking about a school, it's no big deal!" The principal chuckled and lightly pressed his hand down twice, looking completely unconcerned.
Seeing this, the head of the teaching department had no choice but to look away and turn his gaze downwards again.
"Hiss... Brother Heng, what should we do? My goddess is about to be chased away!" Yan Sheng looked at Shen Heng anxiously.
"Ha, keep dreaming. Even if Le Gu Nan doesn't agree with Gu Zexuan's confession, she won't be interested in you!" Kong Haochen, standing in front of Yan Sheng, curled his lip in disdain.
"Let me tell you, if it weren't for Gu Zexuan, I might still have had a chance!" Yan Sheng said righteously.
"Opportunity?" Kong Haochen looked Yan Sheng up and down. "I don't see it coming from. Where did you get this opportunity? Is it because of your high score or your good family background?"
"I..." Yan Sheng's face turned bright red, "I have a sincere heart!!"
"Tch! These days, it's truly worthless!" Kong Haochen said dismissively.
"You..." Yan Sheng choked on his words, turning to Shen Heng, " Brother Heng, what do you think?"
Shen Heng looked Yan Sheng over carefully, "Didn't you say you were a goddess? A goddess is something you can just admire from afar; don't overthink it!"
"Ah, Brother Heng, even you say that..." Yan Sheng clutched his chest, looking heartbroken.
If no one responds, I don't think you can keep this sincerity for long... Shen Heng glanced at Yan Sheng, then looked back at the podium.
On stage, at the principal's signal, the host handed a microphone to Le Gu Nan.
Le Gu Nan awkwardly took the microphone, and several times tried to raise it but then put it down again.
Everyone silently watched upwards.
Ten seconds later, Gu Zexuan asked again.
" Gu Nan, can you tell me which school you'll be attending next?"
Le Gu Nan still has not responded.
Suddenly, one of the boys in the audience shouted something.
Tell him! Tell him!
"Tell him! Tell him!" came the shouts several times in succession.
Then, more and more people started shouting, until finally, almost everyone on the playground was shouting.
"Tell him! Tell him!..."
A variety of sounds spread outwards, some joyful, some eager to join in, and some stirring up trouble.
Shen Heng couldn't help but frown slightly.
This ability can be quite inconvenient at times...
Surrounded by the crowd, Le Gu Nan slowly raised the microphone to his lips.
Seeing this, the crowd gradually quieted down, waiting for the female protagonist to speak.
Le Gu Nan gently parted her lips,
"Um, I..."
Tension, fear, and resistance were conveyed through the seemingly calm words.
Shen Heng slightly raised his eyes and looked over, only to see Le Gu Nan standing on the stage, holding a microphone in both hands, opening his mouth several times but failing to say anything.
Thinking back to the two times I witnessed Le Gu Nan's behavior...
Is this... social anxiety?
Shen Heng frowned slightly.
He wasn't sure what Le Gu Nan's situation was, but she didn't seem to be very good at communicating with people.
So now...
Shen Heng glanced at the podium.
He hadn't initially felt this matter had anything to do with him; after all, Le Gu Nan could say what she wanted or not, it was up to her. But now that he knew about Le Gu Nan's situation...
Furthermore, if this matter were to reach the Supervision Bureau and Han Ling Han Ling found out, she would probably be furious with herself if she knew that Le Gu Nan had ignored the situation...
Thinking of this, Shen Heng raised his hand somewhat helplessly.
"That--!"
The sudden shouts from below the stage shattered the silence, instantly drawing everyone's attention.
Yan Sheng turned his head back to look at Shen Heng with a surprised expression, as if he hadn't expected him to do this suddenly.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Shen Heng spoke:
"Can you please stop taking up everyone's time like this? Do you even know how many people are here? If you keep taking up so much time, even just one minute per person, a whole day will be gone in no time!"
Those seemingly sincere words, tinged with a hint of complaint, left everyone speechless.
It was already quite attention-grabbing for someone to confess their feelings during the college entrance exam pep rally, but then someone interrupted them in the middle.
However, under everyone's gaze, the person continued speaking.
"The college entrance exam is coming up soon, as you know. Could you please give everyone a little more time to review?"
"If this takes up everyone's time..."
On the stage, the principal frowned slightly. He looked at the student who had spoken, turned slightly to the side, and asked:
Which student is this?
"He is Shen Heng," the head of the teaching department replied.
" Shen Heng?" The principal frowned and thought for a moment. "Is he the one who caused a scene at the school with online loans, and then his family and Zhou Hong kept saying they wanted him to continue his studies?"
"Yes, that's it!" The head of the teaching department nodded.
"Hmph, this kind of useless student shouldn't have been allowed to stay in school in the first place!"
The principal snorted coldly and turned his gaze back to the audience.
No sooner had Shen Heng finished speaking than someone immediately objected.
"Shut the hell up! We love seeing this kind of romantic stuff, don't you guys agree?"
"Exactly! Neither the principal nor the dean of students cares, so why the hell are you interfering? It's like the emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is!"
Shen Heng glanced at them but ignored them.
However, he ignored it, but some people on the stage became anxious.
The principal sat in his seat with a somewhat unpleasant expression. He could have just said that Gu Zexuan was only asking the students which school they would go to in the future and had no other intentions, but now that the students were saying it was a romantic thing, if he didn't do something about it, it would be troublesome if it got out later.
Thinking of this, the principal became increasingly uneasy. Just as he was about to stand up and say something, Gu Zexuan, who was standing on the podium, suddenly spoke.
"Haha, I'm so sorry, I forgot about that. I apologize for taking up so much of everyone's time."
On stage, Gu Zexuan continued speaking with a smile, as if Shen Heng's interruption had no negative impact on him whatsoever.
Gu Zexuan turned his head and looked at Le Gu Nan once again.
"But I really want to know which university you'll be going to, Gu Nan. If possible, I hope you can tell me later!"
After saying that, Gu Zexuan turned his head and looked down.
Shen Heng calmly looked back, their gazes meeting and colliding in mid-air.
Two seconds later, Gu Zexuan was the first to look away, step down from the podium, and walk to the side.
Shen Heng calmly watched the scene before him.
Even without hearing Gu Zexuan's words, he could tell that the other person probably hated him to death right now, but...
Shen Heng looked at the group of people who had spoken first.
Knowing Le Gu Nan 'Le Gu Nan personality, they then planted several shills to try and force him to reveal which school he was going to.
That way, he could legitimately go with them, and on the surface, he would still be the romantic person who asked the question at the pep rally despite the school's pressure...
Hmm... students these days have such dirty minds...
