Chapter 306: Chapter 306: Aloof Campus Belle VS Gentle Flower (Part 19) Chapter 306: Chapter 306: Aloof Campus Belle VS Gentle Flower (Part 19) Shengyin thought to herself that her previous words must have wounded the pride of someone like Yuaen Chen, who was just in his early twenties. His absence for several days in her presence was proof enough of that.

Without the disruptive influence of the third wheel, the relationship between Shengyin and Lu Changting had progressed remarkably.

For instance, Shengyin’s way of addressing Lu Changting had shifted from “Senior Lu” to “Big Brother Lu.”

And Lu Changting had entirely dropped the junior sister moniker, opting instead for Lulu.

Seeing how the two interacted, their rapport so seamless, anyone unaware might actually believe they had been lovers for many years.

Unfortunately, both of them were oblivious to this fact. Of course, in Lu Changting’s opinion, it was Shengyin who was unaware while he had always been committed to steering things in this direction.

He waited until Sheng Lu gradually got used to his presence in her life, bit by bit ingratiating himself into her daily routine, until one day, she could no longer do without him.

“That Yuaen Chen hasn’t come looking for you, has he?” Lu Changting asked after dance practice, intent on being the first to know any movements of his romantic rival.

Shengyin shook her head, “You are right, Big Brother Lu. Someone like him should be rejected outright.”

Lu Changting chuckled lightly, “In any case, I think he’s not worthy of you.” In his mind, no other man but Lu Changting would suffice.

He paused and then continued, “If I, Lu Changting, take a liking to someone, I would undoubtedly devote my truest heart to her, sparing her from an ounce of doubt or suspicion.”

Shengyin secretly thought that this man was once again making a veiled confession, but outwardly she showed sincere admiration, “Any girl who manages to gain your affection, Big Brother Lu, is bound to be very happy.”

Lu Changting revealed a knowing smile, “Is that so? I hope that when the time comes, she’ll understand my feelings, just like Lulu does.”

Qi Shishi had been quite active lately, organizing student gatherings and helping out classmates in financial need with their essentials. In short, she was projecting the image of a saint.

Shengyin could guess her intentions well enough–simply to manage her reputation a bit.

However, Shengyin thought the sales pitch was a bit unappealing; after all, not everyone at First University was naive. Qi Shishi had been fine before, but now this new facade made it easy to see that there was something contrived about her actions.

But Qi Shishi seemed to be somewhat maniacal about it. She wanted Yuaen Chen to notice her, to prove that she surpassed Sheng Lu in every aspect but her looks. In this way, she believed Yuaen Chen would one day come to like her.

These days, hadn’t Yuaen Chen stopped seeking out Sheng Lu? Didn’t that imply he didn’t like Sheng Lu and that she, Shishi, stood a great chance?

Nevertheless, her joy was short-lived.

Because Yuaen Chen had confessed to Shengyin right after class, in front of everyone.

This wasn’t in some secluded garden or an empty sports field but in a large classroom, with more than two hundred students and over four hundred eyes staring at him.

“Sheng Lu, I know you might not like me, or perhaps some of my past behavior has upset you.”

“I’ve had a realization these past few days: I like you, Sheng Lu. Whether you like me or not, I, Yuaen Chen, simply like Sheng Lu.”

“You may not accept me, but I won’t give up!”

After saying this, he ignored the shock of everyone around, looking at Shengyin with eyes full of hope.
