Chapter 26 (2/2)

Shen Youchu’s rejection made Chen Hansheng angry.

“Is the bun so delicious? Let me try it!”

Chen Hansheng suddenly snatched the cold bun from Shen Youchu and stuffed it into his mouth as the latter stared at him in shock.

After swallowing it in two or three bites, Chen Hansheng wiped his mouth like a hooligan and said, “The taste is just so-so.”

“You, you…”

Shen Youchu was so shocked that she didn’t know how to react for a while. And because of that, she did not have time to hide her appearance. She wanted to say something but her mouth remained wordlessly agape.

“You are a hooligan!” It was Hu Linyu who spoke on her behalf.

“What are you talking about? Weren’t we talking about working together?”

Chen Hansheng changed the topic again. He stretched out his index finger and tapped the table lightly.

“I have a way to transfer the class president position to you. In the first semester of university, you can be the secretary and try your best to take on the daily affairs of the class. This will help you gradually build up your rapport with the students and Professor Guo. Then, when I resign in the second year of the university, you should be able to smoothly take over.

“Moreover, being the secretary is already a jumpstart to your civil journey.” Chen Hansheng added.

Although Hu Linyu had not completely thought it through, she was not a fool. “I understand. You want me to take on the responsibility of class president once you’re done with it and run off to do other things by yourself. In the end, you’re the one reaping all the benefits while I have to work hard the entire time.

“How fortunate of me!”

Hu Linyu quickly turned sarcastic.

Chen Hansheng smiled. “Look, everyone will benefit from this. Not just me. I just have the slight advantage of being able to take the first step towards my goal before others. Soon, you will too.”

This sentence sounded like a tongue twister, but there was a philosophy to it when one seriously understood it. “It’s not that I’m not putting in any efforts. You can just deal with the small details and I’ll step in when things become too big to handle.”

“Alright, define what’s small and big then.”

Hu Linyu wanted to make sure that they were on the same page.

“What you can’t solve is a big thing,” said Chen Hansheng confidently.

But his answer only further upset Hu Linyu. Wasn’t he implying that he was better able than her? It was the truth but that didn’t mean that she had to like the truth.

Shen Youchu, on the other hand, was caught up in her own thoughts as a buzz slowly spread throughout her head. First, she didn’t expect Chen Hansheng to eat a steamed bun that she had already bitten in. Didn’t this mean that the two of them just had an indirect kiss? Secondly, he dared to use the position of class president as a bargaining chip to make a deal with Hu Linyu.

She took a look at Hu Linyu and found that her roommate was actually seriously considering this suggestion. Shen Youchu felt that Chen Hansheng was too dangerous to have led Hu Linyu astray.

The ‘dangerous’ Chen Hansheng took advantage of Hu Linyu’s moment of thought and spoke to Shen Youchu again, but this time he was very calm. “Prawns have high protein and are not as greasy as meat. It’s okay for you to eat more.”

Since Shen Youchu was refusing to eat, Chen Hansheng simply picked up a prawn and brought it to her mouth. “Come, I’ll feed you.”

Shen Youchu’s face turned bright red. She tightly shut her mouth and turned her head away to avoid it.

Chen Hansheng grinned and shamelessly said, “I’m just going to keep holding it up to you until you eat it.”

The cafeteria was bustling with people whom they might run into again. Moreover, with Chen Hansheng’s determination and ego, he would probably keep his word.

Tears had already appeared in Shen Youchu’s eyes, but she was worried that other people would see them like this. In the end, she ate the shrimp, though it felt like she was being forced to eat poison.

“What if I don’t agree?” Hu Linyu was still trying to negotiate.

“Then I’ll just have to work harder at most – I’ll take care of the class while doing business. I can also find other partners, but by then, you won’t have a chance at all. The university rarely changes the class presidents,” said Chen Hansheng. “I can help you arrange to be a secretary first. As for whether you’ll do it or not, that’s up to you.”
