Zhao Youyue did not always take her mom’s car home every time. Sometimes, Wang Hua had night classes and school paperwork to complete. It was understandable for a woman in her position.

Due to this, Zhao Youyue had Uncle Liu fetch her instead. He would pick her up in the shopping streets not far away from the schools, away from the school gates. Apparently, they had not been discreet enough.

Zhao Youyue had never once revealed her position to others in the school. Naturally, those who had something against her would send their minds to the gutter. This world was extremely harsh to beautiful girls. Every bad news would mostly be related to beautiful girls. The slightest sliver of thread would instantly put them under suspicion.

As a passerby, Zhao Youyue would never be the subject of rumors such as “being spoon-fed by rich guys” or “prostitute.” As time passed in the military training, she started to stand out. Rumors quickly followed.

Words have a way of morphing when passed by hearsay from one human to another. Eventually, the message would turn into something that does not remotely resemble its original form. It might start off as hard facts such as “I saw Zhao Youyue entering a luxurious car,” but the second person might add something such as “I heard that someone saw Zhao Youyue entering a luxurious car nervously, as if she was afraid of something. Why is that so?” Eventually, it would turn into something like Zhao Youyue being picked up by a sugar daddy. It would get repeated with increasing intensity and conviction. Eventually, it would be accompanied with a line such as “my friend saw it with her own two eyes.”

This rumor did not just appear out of the blue. It had been brewed, left to ferment, baked in the sun, heat-treated. Finally, Zhao Youyue’s nickname as the “Military Goddess” had already spread to each corner of the school – even when the News Society remained silent.

That’s right. Zhao Youyue had earned the denial of Cao Chuanguang, the President of the News Society.

Cao Chuanguang lacked the critical essence of chivalry. He instead resorted to stalk girls, learning more about them until he could blackmail them into dating him.

Student Council members favored intimidation as their primary weapon of choice. Cao Chuanguang seemed to be extremely proud of his position as the president of the News Society. He even bragged about how he was best buddies with the current Student Council President, and how he had a father and son relationship with the Head of its Advertising Committee.

He even revealed how he planned transfer to the student council if he had to retire, becoming the sub-head of the Advertising Committee. The current Head of Advertising Committee was in his fourth year. Naturally, one need not ask to see who his successor would be. It might not just end there – being President of a major Committee like this gave him great odds of becoming the next Student Countil President himself! How could Zhao Youyue not be pissed about that?

“Does being the girlfriend of the Student Council President not give you any sense of superiority? You would be the leading lady!”

“Zhao Youyue, if you defy me and make an enemy out of me now, you would be making an enemy out of the entire future student council. You won’t prevail.”

Such bare intimidation disgusted Zhao Youyue to no end. She was puzzled. How did such a person actually make it into this respectable institute, on top of that earning the position of President in the News Society.
