As soon as the two arrived at school, they were immediately welcomed by a crowd.
Young people all want to enjoy sweet moments and gossip.
It would be even better if they could enjoy sweet moments while gossiping, satisfying their dual spiritual needs.
But Lu Rong and Ji Wenfeng, in the center of this commotion, faced with the surging CP fans, acted more holy than priests in a temple, showing no intention of selling BL, just carrying their schoolbags and walking steadily forward one after the other.
Just like the CEO and secretary featured on the cover of business newspapers.
Ji Wenfeng even said coldly: “Don’t walk with me.”
Lu Rong retorted: “That’s what I think too. Seeing everyone misunderstanding our relationship like this gives me a headache.”
After saying that, the two turned around and left in opposite directions.
Xiao Zhuqing stared at the battle report from the front lines, her jaw nearly dropping. She slammed her fist on the table, exclaiming, “How could this happen!”
Shen Yu said sternly, “Go check next door first.”
A short while later, the student council office held a meeting for department heads.
Since it was Friday, they needed to summarize the week’s work and plan for the following week.
“Everyone has been in their new positions for two days now. Most of you have been well-behaved and adapted well— however, I have to criticize one person in particular.” President Ji maintained his cold demeanor, coldly surveying the crowd as the meeting began.
Shen Yu felt utterly hopeless.
Unexpectedly, Chairman Ji’s gaze swept over him and landed on Secretary Lu. He gently set down his coffee cup: “Secretary Lu, this coffee is no good.”
Shen Yu and Xiao Zhuqing exchanged glances. Chairman Ji was actually criticizing Secretary Lu…
Chairman Ji: “I suggest you ask my fiancée for advice on how to brew a good cup of coffee.”
Shen Yu and Xiao Zhuqing: “⊙(◇)??”
Lu Rong stared straight ahead, calmly saying, “I’m sorry, Chairman. I’ve always made coffee according to my husband’s taste. Even at work, I unconsciously neglect it because I’m thinking of him.”
Shen Yu and Xiao Zhuqing: “!!!∑(Дノ)ノ”
For the rest of the meeting, Chairman Ji and Secretary Lu took every opportunity to do what was ostensibly a banter but actually a display of affection.
When they weren’t looking, Xiao Zhuqing tapped on the table, signaling to the Discipline Minister Shen Yu across the table to check his phone. Shen Yu secretly observed, confirming that Ji Wenfeng and Lu Rong were too preoccupied with their internal conflict to care about him, before secretly pulling out his phone from his sleeve and opening it.
Xiao Zhuqing: [As far as I know, they only had each other before. But after just one night, could they really be having affairs? You’re an expert on one-night stands, can you assess whether their extramarital affair is real?]
Shen Yu: [Impossible. They’re acting.]
Xiao Zhuqing: [Acting?]
Shen Yu: [That’s right. Ji Wenfeng and Lu Rong often concoct some plays to liven things up. Last time at Disneyland, I got caught up in their “Rich Older Man and Cheating Young Wife” script for various reasons.]
Xiao Zhuqing: [How was it?]
Shen Yu was silent for a long time before typing two words.
Shen Yu: [Best!]
Xiao Zhuqing: …
Xiao Zhuqing: [Why would they act out a double affair at a time like this? We’re all waiting for them to confess, even betting our pocket money! Why don’t they consider the feelings of us CP fans!]
Shen Yu: [I guess it’s because of the confession bet that things turned out this way. Knowing that everyone is closely watching their relationship, there’s absolutely no way they can be the ones to confess first. So they deliberately pretend to be indifferent, making it sound like, “I already have someone else, you little punk!”]
Xiao Zhuqing: …
Xiao Zhuqing put her hands in a pyramid shape to her lips, watching the president and secretary exchanging barbs.
She knew Lu Rong very well. The cold and aloof Lu Rong, nicknamed “Turtle God,” had a strong will and great endurance. When it came to confessing, he could hold it in until he died— and whether he had feelings for Ji Wenfeng was still unknown. She then shifted her gaze to Ji Wenfeng. Although he was completely devoted to Lu Rong, because he was young and hot-tempered, he would fight tooth and nail in any competition.
In other words, these two might be going on for three years or more to confess!
A bead of cold sweat dripped onto the table.
Xiao Zhuqing was drenched in sweat, feeling that time was of the essence!
Shen Yu’s extraordinary talent had made the CP’s sweetness level extremely high. After everyone had enjoyed the sweetness, they wanted to see a confession, which was only natural! A confession was the climax of a relationship, like finally reaching the summit after a long and arduous climb, from which one could see the vast world from a high vantage point! If it dragged on for too long, with too much buildup, but the climax was delayed, the excitement would gradually cool down, and voices like “They’ve been ambiguous for so long and their relationship hasn’t progressed,” “I’m sick of the sweetness,” and “Ah, I don’t care what happens to them anymore” would emerge… In this rapidly changing information age, there are always more adorable CPs that might appear every day, causing CP fans to switch sides!
They had to seize the time to deliver this powerful blow and make them a real couple! That way, any future sweetness would be legitimate, and people would only say they had a good relationship, instead of being accused by unsatisfied, ex-fans who would turn against them and say, “They’re just trying to boost their popularity by selling bromance, you fake gay scum, pshaw.”
Only couples who confess their feelings will have their shining moments etched in everyone’s memories, forever known as the “sweet couple”!
So, is there any way to create a situation where they have no choice but to confess their feelings, to win in a very short time?!
Stop playing games, stop testing each other, just say those words and stick your lips together like glue!
Xiao Zhuqing shouted in her heart, her mind racing.
Ji Wenfeng, who had been giving work instructions for a while, noticed that Xiao Zhuqing was lost in thought and sweating profusely. And he couldn’t help but say unhappily, “Minister Xiao, are you even listening to me?”
Xiao Zhuqing’s pupils contracted, and she slammed her hands on the table, standing up.
She announced loudly, “This week’s art assignment is to carve a seal. It’s said that if you carve your beloved’s name on a seal, you’ll be together forever!”
Everyone was shocked!
Student Vice President Fang Chang was the first to recover: “Where did this rumor come from?! What am I going to do if I already have ‘Fifth in the grade for final exam total score’ engraved on a stamp?”
Organization Minister Ling Ren pushed up his glasses: “Hey, how can you engrave so many words on one stamp?”
Sports Minister Deng Te fell into deep thought: “Art, homework?”
Academic Committee Member Liang Wendao sneered: “Ha, feudal superstition.”
Disciplinary Committee Member Shen Yu looked at Xiao Zhuqing’s resolute and determined face and instantly understood her intention!
Engraving your beloved’s name on a seal, with the reward of a lifetime together— anyone with a secret crush would find such a low-cost, high-return investment irresistible. It was a confession frenzy that was guaranteed to cause a sensation!
With the confession war at a stalemate, this nationwide confession movement was an irresistible blow. Lu Rong and Ji Wenfeng, the campus’s number one couple, will find themselves in a delicate predicament: what if the other’s name isn’t theirs? How embarrassing and humiliating that would be!
They’ll definitely change tactics, transforming their passive, protracted “I don’t have feelings for you” strategy into a blitzkrieg of “I’m going to seduce you into confessing!”
And whoever does this is considered to have confessed!
No need for explanations, no need to search for evidence of their love— just imprint the deepest feelings of lovers on a simple art assignment, due this week!
Clever, Xiao Zhuqing!
No wonder you’re a CP fan I mentored!
Shen Yu chuckled, propping his feet up high on the table, lazily adding fuel to the fire: “The fujoshi is the Minister of Arts and Literature, and she’s super close to the art teacher, who’s a charlatan. Who knows, maybe this assignment is really because it’s a love curse.”
Liang Wendao said, “What curse? Isn’t it just having the other person’s name engraved on your personal seal?”
“What do you know? I’ve heard of this curse’s name in bars~” Shen Yu casually flicked the bandage off his head, seductively addressing everyone, “It’s called… Call By Your Name.”
Xiao Zhuqing was filled with awe and stood up to applaud.
A genius indeed, Shen Yu!
The two of them simultaneously looked at the bewildered Ji Wenfeng and Lu Rong: In short, do everything you can to entice the other person to engrave their name on it, President and Secretary!
Lu Rong, who had been silent all along, closed his eyes slightly and let out a soft chuckle: “Call by your name… What an interesting love curse. No, rather than a curse, it’s more like a blessing. Whose name will the president have engraved on the seal? Who will the president want to be with forever? I bet it’s your wife.”
Ji Wenfeng: “Ah… um.”
Lu Rong revealed a cunning smile: “And what’s your wife’s name?”
Ji Wenfeng sat upright on the president’s throne, his hands gripping his knees, deep in thought: “…”
Xiao Zhuqing, watching the battle, nodded solemnly to Shen Yu: See, they’ve taken the bait! The situation on the field has changed! Lu Rong has launched a fatal blow against Ji Wenfeng— [Your wife is me]!
Shen Yu rested his elbows on the table, wisely resting his chin on his hand: Ah, that’s right, a terrifyingly decisive man. This is the first time I’ve seen President Ji sweat so much; he’s truly been driven to the brink.
Ji Wenfeng raised his eyes: “You should think about how to engrave your boyfriend’s name on the seal to make it look better. There are so many strokes, the requirements for the layout are very high.”
Shen Yu: How lame! Although he also used the ultimate move “Your boyfriend is me”, constantly copying the other person’s skills is no different from saying “I’ll bounce back” after being scolded!
Lu Rong narrowed his eyes: “I’m just a nobody, no one cares about my love. The president’s seal is the treasure that everyone is looking forward to – your wife must be looking forward to it too.”
Shen Yu: Master! He started to mention “looking forward to it” in a seemingly casual way. This is a fatal flirtation! I don’t believe that Secretary Lu hasn’t received rigorous training in nightclubs!
“If I received a seal that my lover had carefully engraved for me, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to resist giving myself to him that very night…” Lu Rong put one hand in his pocket, propped the other on the table, leaned down, and whispered seductively in Ji Wenfeng’s ear.
Ji Wenfeng’s eyes lit up, and he immediately ordered, “Someone, give me the knife!”
Shen Yu: It’s here! A king crushing a bronze!
The old man from the wealthy family clearly has defeat written all over his face!
