Chapter 156 – Foolish！ (2/2)

Out of the corner of his eyes, Chen Xingyu noticed Gu Yuxin, Liao Ziyu and Zhang Xian, yet had no intention of stepping forward to say h.e.l.lo.

He had noticed their presence earlier on and it was precisely because he saw them coming that he deliberately said Li s.h.i.+nian is the fourth beauty of Imperial View High in front of them.

Because he knew very clearly that these women would not because of some praises, hate himself, instead this hatred will be transferred onto their rival Li s.h.i.+nian's head.

At that time, Li s.h.i.+nian, suffering from the pressure of the three influential women in the campus and without any other option, would throw herself into his arms and receive his protection in order to be safe and sound.

She had no better option unless she chose to leave.

Chen Xingyu did not believe Li s.h.i.+nian would understand his plot. He was incredibly pleased with his predicted outcome. He thought that as long as he insists Li s.h.i.+nian is the 'Fourth beauty of Imperial View High' she would surely appreciate his intention.

Which girl is not vain? Who does not like to be the highlight of a crowd?

A young girl like her, how can she refuse the temptation of fame and fortune?

It must be said, with the t.i.tle 'fourth beauty of Imperial View High', one will attract more people's attention. Once a young master from a powerful, n.o.ble family laid their eyes on her, it's very likely she would marry into the family as a concubine.

“s.h.i.+nian cla.s.smate has everyone's support, no need to be modest. Beauty is something that is seen by everyone with eyes and not like something you learn that has to be shown for people to know about it–”

Li s.h.i.+nian's cheeks turned crimson red, saying softly: “I'm not as good as you say, don't say such nonsense.”

Seeing Li s.h.i.+nian's expression, Chen Xingyu knew his chance has come around again.

In any case, today he needs to make Li s.h.i.+nian give in no matter what.

Otherwise, he would become the laughing stock.

Then, he looked at Li s.h.i.+nian with a sincere and gentle look on his face, saying: “a couple of days is the Orchid Park's mid-autumn poetry gathering, I am the president of the Poetry Society of Imperial View High, I can invite a few students to go with me to attend Orchid Park's gathering, would s.h.i.+nian cla.s.smate be willing to attend Orchid Park's gathering with me to listen to poems and admire the full moon?”

“Wow, Chen Xingyu is inviting Li s.h.i.+nian to Orchid Park, he really is putting in a lot of effort——”

“I heard Orchid Park a.s.sociation is the most popular poetry society, and even some people from major families would attend——”

“At last year mid-autumn poetry gathering, poetry expert Yan Daoji attended and also praised Chen Xingyu 'wisdom'”——

Even the several students on Li s.h.i.+nian's side became excited. Xiao Huan tightly gripped onto Li s.h.i.+nian's arm, saying: “s.h.i.+nian, quickly accept it, it's Orchid Park poetry gathering, there will be many literature experts–National top scholars will share poems and admire the Moon together. Once there is a good poem it would spread throughout Tiandu and the Kingdom, take us with you to expand our knowledge–”

Chen Xingyu's gaze s.h.i.+fted to Xiao Huan and said with a smile: “this cla.s.smate can also come with us——”

“s.h.i.+nian——” Xiao Huan was on the verge of tears; she was too excited to even say a word.

While all eyes were cl.u.s.tered on Li s.h.i.+nian's face, eagerly awaiting her response.

Go? Or not go?

Go attend the Kingdom's top scholar party and enjoy the envy and jealousy of countless people. For girls around this age, it's an extremely attractive invitation.

Who wouldn't want to be a different person?

Chen Xingyu's face was beaming with smiles, admiring Li s.h.i.+nian's bright red, oval face.

This little white flower will eventually fall into my hand.

“I won't be going.” Li s.h.i.+nian shook her head slowly, saying aloud.

“Why?” Chen Xingyu shouted in a hoa.r.s.e voice. Why is this girl so hard to please? I invested time and effort but was still unsuccessful, what went wrong?

Li s.h.i.+nian lifted her head slowly to look up at him and said softly: “Because–my first impression of you was not that good.”

“What does that mean?”

“When you first appeared in front of me, you were chewing a sugar cane straw in your mouth.” Li s.h.i.+nian said.

“What's—wrong with that-?”

“My brother also likes to clamp a sugar cane straw in his mouth, so when others do the same I always feel they are not as cool as him and looks silly—”

“——”
