Chapter 9: Conspiracy and Test 1
The sky is blue, cloudless, clear and bright.
On windless days, the sun always seems particularly warm and bright. The shadows of trees sway on the ground, mottled and interlaced, and the air is filled with the elegant fragrance of flowers, refreshing the heart.
"Qianqian! Qianqian!"
During the break, Bai Yaning suddenly ran to our class and waved to me from the door. She looked like she had something urgent and exciting to do.
"What's the matter?"
I walked up to her, looked at her with a smile, and really wanted to pinch her chubby baby face.
Bai Yaning quickly pulled me to the side of the corridor, blinked and smiled, "Qianqian, I have some great news for you! The mysterious president of our comics club is finally going to show up!"
What?
I stared at Bai Yaning in shock, my mouth opened into an exaggerated "0" shape, and I couldn't utter a word for a long time.
real or fake?
Why did Shen Jingyu reveal her identity as the president of the comics club at this time? Is she targeting me again?
No, no, I had already rejected the opportunity she offered to publish a comic book. Besides, my own comics were favored by the magazine and were being serialized in a weekly comics magazine. It had nothing to do with Shen Jingyu at all.
It’s strange, what exactly does Shen Jingyu want to do this time?
"Qianqian? Qianqian?"
I came back to my senses after hearing Bai Yaning's cry. I smiled apologetically and said, "Well, I'm fine. I might have been frightened by this great news."
"Haha! I'll scare you again then."
C The smile on Bai Yaning's face is as bright as the sunshine in spring.
"Qianqian, listen carefully. After school tonight, the mysterious president will come to the comics club's activity room and will be waiting for everyone there to hold a special club activity."
I frowned slightly and looked at Bai Yaning silently, feeling a little more worried.
what to do?
Should I tell Bai Yaning the truth now?
"Ahem, Yaning, um..." I bit my lip and asked tentatively, "What would you do if the president of the comics club was someone you knew?"
Bai Yaning rolled her eyes and replied disapprovingly: "How is that possible? According to the information I have collected, the president is not a student of Dijing College at all."
"Yes, she doesn't study here, but..."
Oops! It's exposed!
Bai Yaning narrowed his eyes, leaned closer to me, and whispered, "Hey, Qianqian, I remember now. You've met the president before, no wonder your reaction is so calm and you don't seem excited. Tell me, who is the president of our comics club? From what you said, I should know the president, right?"
Well, now that things have come to this, I’m afraid I can’t hide it anymore.
"Yaning, do you really want to know?"
Bai Yaning raised an eyebrow at me and asked angrily, "What do you think?"
"Curiosity kills the cat!" I smiled softly, looking a bit gloating. "I'd like to make it clear in advance that if your heart is not strong enough to withstand it and something unexpected happens, I will not be responsible."
Bai Yaning laughed and gritted her teeth as she said, "Stop talking nonsense! You treat me like a cat, how can I bear to fall down so easily? Don't worry, I can hold on!"
I smiled and shook my head, leaned against the wall in the corridor, looked out the window, and slowly uttered three words.
"Shen Jingyu."
"What?" Bai Yaning opened her eyes wide and looked at me, "Qianqian, say it again."
"Shen-Jing-Yu."
I deliberately slowed down my speech, hoping that Bai Yaning could hear me clearly, and she quickly became extremely surprised.
"Qianqian, are you sure?"
I nodded vigorously: "Absolutely true."
"Oh my god, something bad is going to happen!" Bai Yaning raised her hand and patted her forehead, then she came close to me and whispered, "Qianqian, is Miss Shen trying to use her identity as the president of the comics club to deal with you? The comics club has been established for more than two years, and the president has never shown up, which has become a mystery in everyone's mind. Although, although I really want to meet her, knowing that she is the eldest daughter of the Shen family, I began to hope that she would not show up. Qianqian, she may be here for you."
I was slightly startled, then smiled bitterly: "Yeah, I think so too. However, the problem between Shen Jingyu and I will have to be solved sooner or later. I can't escape it, so I can only face it. Anyway, she makes a move, and I will take it."
"Qianqian, I'm sorry..."
Bai Yaning suddenly sighed, grabbed my hand, and apologized to me sincerely.
I blinked in confusion and asked with a smile: "Yaning, what are you doing? Why are you apologizing? Don't worry, I'm fine. Even if my opponent is Shen Jingyu, I won't be afraid. Shen Jingyu's supporters are the elders of the two families, but I have Luo Zihan, a more solid backing, so I'm not at all..."
"Silly girl, you still have my support." Bai Yaning frowned and looked at me with a serious expression, "Qianqian, thinking back on this matter, I seem to have been used by Shen Jingyu. At the beginning, the senior sister of the comics club asked me to invite you to join the club. Maybe it was a trap set by Shen Jingyu. I'm sorry, Qianqian! If you hadn't agreed to my request and joined the comics club, your current situation would not be so passive. I, I..."
"Yaning, this has nothing to do with you. Joining the comics club was my own decision."
I raised my hand and patted her shoulder. I really wanted to pinch her chubby cheeks. She was so cute.
"Perhaps your guess is correct. Shen Jingyu has been wary of me for a long time. Not long after I joined the comics club, when she asked me to meet for the first time, she asked about my relationship with Luo Zihan in a roundabout way. I thought it was very strange at the time. She seemed to care too much about Luo Zihan, but she never told me that she was Luo Zihan's girlfriend, and I was so stupid that I didn't realize it at all. Well, I have to admit that Shen Jingyu is a very smart girl, with a deep mind and is hard to understand. Or maybe the girls Luo Zihan likes are just her type."
"You, stop imagining!" Yaning grabbed my hand and looked at me with a half-smile. "You and Young Master Luo are already in love with each other and have pledged to each other forever. What are you still worried about? In my opinion, only you and Young Master Luo are the most suitable. One is silly and cute, and the other is extremely smart; one is approachable, and the other is cold and noble. Your personalities complement each other, and it is natural for you to be attracted to each other. As for Shen Jingyu, she is too smart and scheming. It will be a lot of trouble for Young Master Luo to be with her, and it won't last long."
I chuckled, shook my head helplessly and sighed: "Yaning, what kind of weird theory is this?"
"Huh? Weird?" Bai Yaning pouted and retorted unconvincedly, "I deduced it based on facts, with reason and evidence. This is the result of my superb reasoning ability. How dare you despise it! Phew! I'm so mad! Yao Qianqian, you're really mad at me!"
"Okay, I was wrong, I'm sorry..." Looking at Bai Yaning's chubby face that turned red due to anger, I couldn't stop smiling, "Yaning, thank you for always supporting and encouraging me, and thank you for inviting me to join the comics club. Otherwise, I wouldn't have met such a good friend like you. Thank you so much!"
Bai Yaning stared at me, her face returned to normal, but her eyes gradually turned red.
"Yao Qianqian, if you dare to say these sensational words again, I, I will..."
“Ding Ling Ling——”
The bell rang to signal the end of break, and students in the corridor headed for the classroom.
Bai Yaning shook her hands in exasperation, glared at me and warned, "Silly girl, I'll let you go this time. If I wasn't so fat and I was slow to climb the stairs, I would...ah! Let's go, let's go, the teacher is coming soon, see you later!"
"Hey, Yaning, don't worry, be careful!"
Looking at the figure disappearing around the corner of the stairs, I let out a long sigh and felt much better.
I am not a greedy girl. I am already satisfied to be able to study at Dijing College, to meet friends like Bai Yaning, and to receive Luo Zihan's true love.
After school.
The sky was gloomy and dark, and the sun had long disappeared.
In the morning, the weather was sunny and the sky was clear, but in just half a day, it became cloudy and windy.
Bai Yaning and I made an appointment to go to the comics club's activity room together.
As usual, everyone was sitting in their seats reading comic books. When they saw me come in, a "comic friend" in the same grade as me turned around and waved to me.
"Yao Qianqian, I heard that your comic has been serialized in a magazine, congratulations!"
I was slightly startled, and asked as calmly as possible, "That issue of the magazine hasn't been released yet, how did you know about it?"
"It's not just me, all the members of the comics club know it!" The other party smiled nonchalantly, with a hint of sarcasm in that smile, "Yao Qianqian, you are really amazing! Not only can you date Young Master Luo from the 'Four Great Families', but you also have a close relationship with our president. No wonder all the good opportunities fall on you."
What, what does this mean?
I suddenly froze and felt extremely cold all over, as if someone had suddenly poured a basin of cold water over my head in the dead of winter, with the bone-chilling chill constantly spreading throughout my body.
"Hey, what nonsense are you talking about!" Bai Yaning stood in front of me and glared at me. "Qianqian's comics were selected by the magazine because of Qianqian's hard work. Don't be jealous of her or slander her here! Have you seen how Qianqian draws comics seriously? When you are sleeping, how can you know how hard she works by staying up late? Qianqian's good opportunities were earned by her own sweat. You have no right to sneer at her!"
"Bai Yaning, you've been deceived by Yao Qianqian!"
"The vice president just played a recording for everyone. It was the editor-in-chief of the magazine. Yao Qianqian used all means to serialize the comics. It was despicable."
…
The activity room suddenly became noisy, with everyone chatting and talking non-stop.
C I stood there in a daze, my vision went dark, my mind was in a mess, and I couldn't think of anything.
Those sharp and harsh words kept hitting my eardrums, and my heart trembled every time I heard one.
Angry, aggrieved, depressed, confused, uneasy...all the emotions gathered in my heart, stuffy and heavy, making it hard for me to breathe.
"Has that been enough of the trouble?"
I suddenly shouted, my body shaking slightly, as if I had used up all my strength.
The activity room returned to calm in an instant, and everyone looked at me with almost the same eyes.
"Why don't you believe me, but believe the president you've never met? Yes, the establishment and development of the comics club is inseparable from the funding and support of the president. However, after I joined the comics club, I often read, talked about, and drew comics with everyone. Don't you know what kind of person I, Yao Qianqian, am? In your eyes, am I the kind of selfish, unscrupulous bad girl? If you really think so, I have nothing to say. Don't worry, I will quit the comics club and will no longer cause any trouble to the comics club. Finally, I want to tell everyone that I am very happy to meet you. I am also very happy to be with you in the comics club."
"flourishing!"
As I turned around, Bai Yaning suddenly grabbed my wrist.
"Yaning, you..."
"Qianqian, even if others don't believe you, you still have me." Bai Yaning raised her chin and looked at me with a smile, "You can't leave. Someone deliberately framed you and set a trap for you to fall into. How can you let yourself be wronged?"
I looked at Bai Yaning gratefully, my eyes gradually becoming hot: "Yaning, thank you."
In this lonely and helpless time, the support and encouragement of friends are like a spring flowing into the heart, which can give you endless confidence and strength.
I looked at the members of the comics club present, sighed quietly, and said in a deep voice: "Dear seniors, I know you respect the president of the comics club very much. Without her support, the comics club would not have developed so well. A long time ago, I met the president and I was very impressed by her, but later, between us..."
"Who is she? Who is the president?"
"Yao Qianqian, what is your relationship with the president?"
I smiled bitterly and shook my head, and replied calmly: "I think her identity..."
At this moment, a graceful figure appeared at the door of the activity room, and a cold and aloof voice sounded.
"I'm the president of the comics club!"
The beautiful girl stood there, with her golden curly hair draped over her shoulders, and her black gemstone-like eyes were clear and pure, flashing with a sharp light. Looking at her quietly, she seemed like a flawless doll, except that a thin layer of frost condensed on her face, making people a little afraid to approach.
Shin Jung-yu!
Many people present held their breath in surprise, revealing expressions of disbelief. At the same time, they seemed to understand why the high and mighty president would confront a small figure like me.
"Yao Qianqian, because of you, I am going to withdraw my funding for the comics club." Shen Jingyu walked up to me and looked at me with a half-smile. "From now on, I will no longer be the president of the comics club, and all the activities of this club have nothing to do with me. As for how the comics club can continue to operate, please figure it out by yourselves. If it really doesn't work, just disband the club, or let Yao Qianqian solve it. As everyone knows, Yao Qianqian stole my fiancé, she is very capable, I can only admit that I am inferior to her."
