Living Only For Myself: Make Those Who Hate Me Regret It-Chapter 90 - 89: Isn’t Our Class President Handsome?
’At least the other guy wasn’t old,’ Xi Zirong had to admit to himself. The man had an excellent physique and bearing. He was handsome and refined, looking every bit the part of an upright gentleman.
And, he was willing to donate five million just for Xu Su.
Xi Zirong was smart. He figured out Zhou Mochen’s motive for the donation in an instant.
Not only that, but his mind also raced with many other connections.
Xu Su glanced at him. There was a hint of dejection in Xi Zirong’s eyes. Today’s meeting had completely upended all his expectations.
His rival’s excellence was a bit of a blow. He was beginning to understand what Xu Su had meant when she’d said, ’He can give me the best.’
’The best...’
’Not just material things, but genuine affection, too.’
Xu Su remained silent. She knew that talking up how outstanding Zhou Mochen was would make Xi Zirong give up faster.
But she just couldn’t bring herself to say it. The most she could do was remain silent.
Let Xi Zirong figure it out for himself.
After a long silence, Xi Zirong lowered his head to look directly into Xu Su’s eyes and asked, "Last year, you said you didn’t like him. Does that still hold true?"
"..." Xu Su tried to look away, but he cupped her face firmly in his hands.
Xi Zirong was being a bit forceful. He said, "Look me in the eyes and answer."
His youthful eyes were filled with nothing but her.
Xu Su glanced at him, then lowered her gaze. "Don’t keep dwelling on this, Xi Zirong," she said in a low voice. "We’re students. Let’s just focus on our studies."
"Yeah, I know we should focus on studying," Xi Zirong replied softly, leaning his face closer. "But this answer is very important to me. Xu Su, don’t lie. Answer me, huh?"
’Do I like Zhou Mochen?’
Xu Su actually gave the question some serious thought.
Soon, Xu Su pulled Xi Zirong’s hands off her face and said irritably, "No, I don’t. You almost got me sidetracked. Xi Zirong, is this all you ever think about?"
Xi Zirong was persistent. He pressed, "You really don’t like him?"
Xu Su stood up and looked at Xi Zirong, who had stood up with her. "I don’t," she said seriously.
He was thrilled, the smile on his face obvious. He leaned in, lowering his head. "Then do you like me?"
"..." Xu Su pushed him away, utterly exasperated. "No. I only like studying."
Xu Su really didn’t want to waste any more time with him. As she turned to leave, he grabbed her by the wrist.
Xi Zirong said in a low voice, "I admit he’s outstanding, but I’m not bad either. I’m really not, Xu Su. It’s okay if you don’t like me now, but when you do want to be in a relationship, remember to consider me first, okay?"
’Fine, fine, whatever you say.’
Xu Su really didn’t know what to do with him. She could argue with Zhou Mochen from time to time, but Xi Zirong had always been so nice that she couldn’t bring herself to get angry at him now.
She struggled for a moment and easily pulled her hand free. "I’ll think about these things after graduation, Xi Zirong," Xu Su said. "I need to go back to the dorm and pack to go home."
This time, Xi Zirong didn’t stop her. The two of them walked back toward the dorms, one in front of the other.
Halfway there, the phone in her pocket vibrated.
Xu Su took it out and saw a text from Zhou Mochen: *Do you have a lot of stuff? You’re not out yet. Should I come help you?*
’...’ ’Looks like he managed to escape the school leaders’ attempts to keep him. He didn’t even stay for lunch before leaving campus.’
’On second thought, it was probably so he could take me home.’
Xu Su pursed her lips and texted back as she walked: *Wait a little longer. Don’t come in.*
She quickly returned to her dorm room. Huang Feng had already finished packing the things she was taking home and was sitting on her bed, waiting for Xu Su.
Seeing Xu Su return, Huang Feng asked, "My brother is coming to pick me up later. Susu, do you want a ride home with him? He’s driving my dad’s car this time, so don’t worry, his boss won’t be there."
Xu Su froze for a moment, then replied while packing her own things, "No, it’s okay. I’ll get home on my own."
She turned to Qian Jia and said with a smile, "You guys can call me during summer break if you get bored."
Qian Jia’s home was in a small county nearby, and her bus didn’t leave until the afternoon. She listened to her two friends’ conversation with a smile, right up until Huang Feng mentioned her brother’s boss.
Qian Jia had also gone on stage to receive an award today, so she had seen Zhou Mochen up close. His looks alone were incredibly eye-catching. Although it had been almost a year, Qian Jia couldn’t quite recall who he was.
But she felt Zhou Mochen looked familiar. Now, hearing Huang Feng’s words, it started to click.
Qian Jia shot to her feet and shouted, "HOLY SHIT!!! Fengfeng, your brother’s boss is loaded! Like, seriously loaded! Didn’t you see the donor? The super handsome guy who was just on the main stage? If I’m not mistaken, that’s your brother’s boss!"
Her voice was extremely loud, making Xu Su jump. She quickly hid her reaction by continuing to pack.
The summer break was only two weeks long, so Xu Su just packed some of her spring clothes. There was no need to take anything else back.
She finished packing in a flash, but by then, the rest of the dorm had exploded.
It wasn’t just Huang Feng; Qiu Dandan and Zhao Mei, who had also been packing, stopped what they were doing. They all gathered together, chattering excitedly about the donor.
Huang Feng didn’t get a scholarship this semester, so she hadn’t gone up on stage, nor had she paid special attention to the people on the main stage.
After what Qian Jia said, her shock was no less than anyone else’s. She began to rack her brain, trying to remember if her brother had ever told their family about his boss’s background.
After thinking for a long time, Huang Feng shook her head in defeat. "My brother never talks about work at home. All I know is that his boss is from Beijing and came to our Chang City to invest in a few big projects. Anyway, on the rare occasions my brother does mention his boss, he’s always super respectful. He must have a powerful background."
Qian Jia was still buzzing with excitement. She grabbed Xu Su and shrieked, "Didn’t he take a picture with us? I think he was standing right next to you, Susu. You didn’t recognize him?"
"..." Xu Su gave an awkward smile, unsure of what to say.
After a long pause, she managed to squeeze out, "There were so many leaders there. I didn’t dare look around."
Qian Jia understood. If she had been standing at the front, taking a picture with the school leaders, she would have been nervous too.
Qiu Dandan said, "A girl from my hometown in Class 16 also went up for an award today. She said there was a guy on the main stage who was unbelievably handsome. She couldn’t have been talking about this donor, right?"
Qian Jia nodded vigorously. "He’s seriously handsome. We saw him last year, but we were young and didn’t know any better. We just thought he had a strong presence and then forgot about him. Seeing him today, I was truly stunned."
She looked at Huang Feng and Xu Su, seeking their agreement. "Right?"
"..." Xu Su finally finished packing. Under Qian Jia’s questioning gaze, she gave a stiff nod. "Yes, he’s quite good-looking."
Huang Feng came over and put her arm around Xu Su, teasingly scolding Qian Jia, "Why do you keep asking about that? When would our Susu ever look at other guys? And speaking of handsome, isn’t our class president handsome?"
