Chapter 474: Chapter 474: On Obsession, She Falls Short

Lin Miaoke had thought that her words would shake Liang Xiaoqi’s confidence.

After all, it’s far better to have your confidence shattered than to make an effort only to find it was like drawing water with a bamboo basket—all in vain, right?

Especially when it comes to matters of the heart.

However, Lin Miaoke found that her words not only didn’t shake Liang Xiaoqi’s confidence but made her even more determined to fight on.

With an attitude that she would not rest until she had conquered Chen Wei and made him fall under her charm.

"Sigh..." With a sigh, Lin Miaoke promptly chose to give up.

She shouldn’t have agreed to this in the first place.

How could someone like Liang Xiaoqi give up just because of a few words from her?

Just as Lin Miaoke was about to turn around and leave,

SMACK!

She was caught quick as a flash by the wrist by Liang Xiaoqi.

"Sister Liang, what are you doing?" Lin Miaoke trembled slightly, fearing that nothing good would come of this.

"Miaoke, we’re good friends, right?" Liang Xiaoqi asked with a smile.

"Right, right." Lin Miaoke didn’t deny it, though she sounded somewhat reluctant because Liang Xiaoqi’s close-up smiling face was admittedly a bit scary.

Their noses were almost touching.

It was lucky that no one else was around, because if someone else saw them, they would definitely have misunderstood, thinking there was something wrong with Lin Miaoke and Liang Xiaoqi’s sexual orientation.

"Since we’re good friends, you wouldn’t refuse to help a friend in need, would you?" Liang Xiaoqi asked again.

"Sister Liang, you’re not thinking of asking me to help you chase after Brother Wei, are you?" Lin Miaoke felt the burden on her shoulders growing ever heavier.

She hadn’t even finished helping Han Lingxue, and now here was Liang Xiaoqi.

"Don’t worry, I won’t make things difficult for you. You just need to help me with some things, and you’ll definitely agree to do it, won’t you?" Liang Xiaoqi pressed closer, leaving no room for Lin Miaoke to retreat, her smile unwavering as she sought confirmation.

"Alright, I agree..." Lin Miaoke was close to tears, regretting that her attempts at persuasion had turned her into an accomplice.

Fortunately, she was able to return safely to Chen Wei’s side.

"How did it go?" Chen Wei asked half-jokingly.

In fact, just by seeing Lin Miaoke’s expression when she returned, Chen Wei already had a pretty good idea of the outcome.

"Brother Wei, I’m sorry. I’ve let you down. Sister Liang is just too stubborn. My words didn’t discourage her at all; on the contrary, they made her even more eager to fight on," Lin Miaoke felt truly on the verge of tears.

"That’s okay, you did your best. I’ll take care of the rest," he said, although Chen Wei was actually thinking that he would just have to play it by ear.

Chen Wei had encountered persistent pursuers like Liang Xiaoqi before.

He recalled a protection mission he had undertaken in an East Asian country, where the princess had hopelessly fallen for him.

When she learned that Chen Wei’s mission was over and he was about to leave, she mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to capture him, even preparing a church so that she could marry him immediately upon his capture.

Fortunately, Chen Wei was quick on his feet. Despite being pursued by hundreds of thousands, they couldn’t catch him, and he was able to escape across the border as they watched helplessly.

Later, still unwilling to give up, the princess announced a global bounty of one hundred million US dollars for anyone who could bring Chen Wei back to her, as long as they didn’t hurt a hair on his head—otherwise, they would become enemies of her entire nation!

At first, indeed, many people tried to capture him.

In the beginning, Chen Wei didn’t pay much attention to it.

But as more and more people became involved, and it became more and more troublesome, Chen Wei could no longer tolerate it and had to use his Black Dragon identity to forcibly cancel the bounty mission and permanently blacklist the princess, finally getting some peace.

No matter how persistent Liang Xiaoqi was, she couldn’t be more so than the tanned "Black" princess, could she?

And Liang Xiaoqi, as persistent as she might be, was just an ordinary person at the end of the day, without the status of a princess, nor a doting father willing to move heaven and earth for her whim.

Soon, Chen Wei had put the matter out of his mind.

After the sports meeting was over, the sunset was visible on the horizon, and the stage had been set up.

After the sports meeting, there would be a closing ceremony with performances to watch.

Lin Miaoke and Han Lingxue seemed quite excited about it, so Chen Wei didn’t bring up leaving.

He took out his phone and sent a message to Lin Yibai, telling her that he and Lin Miaoke would be coming back late tonight.

The so-called closing performances weren’t about inviting traffic-heavy celebrities to perform on stage.

Instead, it was a medley of small acts contributed by various clubs.

There were dances, songs, sketches, and the like...

For a group of students, it was entertainment enough.

The main thing was to enjoy the atmosphere.

South University also provided a buffet of delicious food, and everyone’s faces were smiling.

Of course, there was also a group of people who were the exception.

"Wei, try this piece of barbecue, it’s really good."

"Brother Wei, I’ve peeled the lobster for you. Ah, open your mouth."

Seeing the two school beauties taking turns feeding Chen Wei, they suddenly felt the chicken legs and drinks in their hands taste like wax, not appetizing at all, and even a bit sour.

"Who knocked over a vinegar jar? Stand it up straight, I’m about to cry from the sourness," someone who enjoyed watching the spectacle teased.

Inevitably, they were "attacked" by the crowd, grabbed by the legs and dragged across the grass...

After begging for mercy for a good while, they were finally let go.

This atmosphere wasn’t bad for Chen Wei.

It was a rare chance to experience it.

It really was much better than fighting and killing all day.

Chen Wei had long grown tired of the sensation of being covered in blood.

"Wow! Look, it’s Zhou Yiyang! Senior Zhou Yiyang!"

"Oh my God! It’s really Zhou Yiyang!"

"Ah! He’s so handsome! He’s really so handsome! I’m crazy in love!"

At that moment, a wave of girls’ screams came, completely drowning out the boys’ voices.

"Who is Zhou Yiyang?" Chen Wei asked curiously, seeing their excitement.

"Oh, him? He’s the star singer of the music club. I heard that JM Entertainment has already thrown him an olive branch, wanting to sign him and promote his debut."

"I see," Chen Wei instantly understood.

He hadn’t expected to encounter an artist who would sign with his company in the future at such an event.

This was the perfect opportunity to listen to Zhou Yiyang’s singing to see if it was really merit-based, as Chen Wei wouldn’t allow someone to be signed just because of a red envelope stuffed in the right hand.

"Cough cough cough!" Clearing his throat, Zhou Yiyang mustered his courage and said, "Today, I want to dedicate this song to someone."

"Is it me?"

"Get lost! It’s not even certain whether School Prince Zhou recognizes you," someone responded.

"What do you mean ’not certain’? He definitely doesn’t know you."

"Hey, forget it. Everyone knows that School Prince Zhou has always been secretly in love with School Princess Liang."

"Ah, the student council president Liang Xiaoqi? If it’s her, we stand no chance."

...

Liang Xiaoqi...

For some reason, after hearing those three words from the girls, Chen Wei felt somewhat uneasy.

It was as if he could already anticipate what was going to happen next.
