Rejected by the Campus Belle, I Find My True Love-Chapter 292 - 290: It Seems Like I Was Tricked, But Maybe Not
Yu Kexin also turned her head for a look. Seeing that the person being given a hard time was Xue Yang, she was about to wave to him when Tang Zhisheng spoke again. "I told you to get out. Are you deaf?"
He hadn’t had any particular feelings about this student before, but seeing Sun Yufei laughing and chatting with him stung his eyes. The whole Student Council knew he was pursuing Sun Yufei, yet this guy was still so close to her, acting as if he didn’t even exist.
Outrageous! Today, I’ll show him the consequences of offending me.
"What’s your position?" Xue Yang asked, looking at him.
Tang Zhisheng was dumbfounded. Does this guy not understand me? I told him to get out.
"You’re asking who I am? I’m Tang Zhisheng, the President of the Publicity Department!"
Xue Yang clicked his tongue. "You were so domineering just now, I thought you were the Student Council President. Turns out you’re just a department head."
The mention of this made Tang Zhisheng even more resentful. The position of Student Council President should have been his, but it had been snatched away by someone named Xue Yang. That was the very reason he hadn’t attended the Student Council’s welcome dinner. What made him even angrier was that afterward, Xue Yang never called to explain the situation or apologize to him. Since then, he had never even seen him at a Student Council meeting.
Why should someone like that become the Student Council President? Is it just because he’s handsome?
This thought only intensified Tang Zhisheng’s hatred as he looked at Xue Yang. He himself was not good-looking; to make matters worse, his face was covered in pimples, which compounded his plain features. Fortunately, he was a local, which gave him great confidence, and he gradually learned to ignore his physical appearance.
Xue Yang ignored Tang Zhisheng and turned to Sun Yufei. "Yufei, weren’t you just saying your hands were itching for a fight? I think Tang Zhisheng here is a perfect match."
"I think you’re right." Sun Yufei turned to Tang Zhisheng and smiled. "Zhisheng, are you free tonight?"
Tang Zhisheng was stunned, then flattered. Could she be captivated by my charisma? Just as I thought. No girl can escape my grasp.
"Yufei, I’m free tonight. I’m free whenever you are."
Sun Yufei hummed in acknowledgment and sat down in the seat beside him.
With a beautiful girl now sitting next to him, Tang Zhisheng was no longer in the mood to give Xue Yang a hard time. "For Yufei’s sake, I’ll overlook you barging into the meeting room. You can leave now."
"Oh, thank you, Classmate Tang Zhisheng, for your magnanimity."
Xue Yang stepped into the meeting room, made his way to the front row, and sat down in the Student Council President’s seat.
Seeing that Xue Yang not only hadn’t left but had strode confidently to the front, Tang Zhisheng moved to stop him. "Hey, I told you to get out! What are you doing in the front row?"
Then, he saw Xue Yang take a seat in the chair reserved for the Student Council President. His eyes widened as understanding dawned. He glanced around and saw that everyone else had their heads down, silent. Even the Vice President, Yu Kexin, didn’t say a word.
He lowered his head again, just in time to hear Sun Yufei say, "Zhisheng, that’s Xue Yang."
Tang Zhisheng’s face turned into a kaleidoscope of colors. That’s Xue Yang? Which means... he’s the Student Council President. So, what was I just doing? The head of a department telling the President of the entire Student Council to leave the Student Council’s meeting room? Everyone was just watching me make a fool of myself from the very beginning!
He could hear muffled snickers from the crowd, people trying their best to hold in their laughter.
However, one person was an exception.
"HAHAHA! I’m dying! Is this clown sent by the monkeys from Huaguo Mountain? A department head telling the Student Council President to get out of the meeting room? HAHAHA, this is killing me."
Cui Hao pointed at Tang Zhisheng with one hand while pounding the table with his other fist, laughing with abandon. "This is the first time in my life I’ve seen a department head who thinks he’s bigger than the main council. What kind of caveman is this? I suggest he go back for a factory reset instead of coming out here to embarrass himself."
Seeing him laugh so openly, the others couldn’t hold it in any longer, and the room erupted in laughter.
If a hole had opened up in the ground right then, Tang Zhisheng would have dived in without hesitation.
Humiliating! So damn humiliating!
Sun Yufei was also laughing, her cute fangs glinting. "Zhisheng, 8 PM tonight, at the east gate. Be there." She swore to herself that she would give Zhisheng a night to remember.
Hearing Sun Yufei’s words, Tang Zhisheng’s expression brightened slightly. Trading public humiliation for a night with a beautiful woman... Worth it. Totally worth it.
Sitting not far away, Cui Hao couldn’t help but chuckle again at her words, but he quickly composed himself when he saw Sun Yufei’s expression. Not long ago, Cui Hao had received a message from Sun Yufei and had been racking his brain on how to refuse. Unexpectedly, a scapegoat had just served himself up on a platter.
Damn it, Tang Zhisheng can’t find out about this, or I’ll be the one in trouble tonight.
"Don’t mind me," Cui Hao said loudly. "I’m just a cheerful guy who likes to laugh. Anyone who knows me knows that, right, Xue Yang?"
Xue Yang played along. "Right."
Tang Zhisheng looked from Cui Hao to Xue Yang. He felt like he was walking into a trap, but he had no proof. Sun Yufei had finally taken the initiative to ask him out. If he missed this chance, he would definitely never get another one.
Tang Zhisheng steeled himself, deciding he would go tonight, come hell or high water.
Just then, the meeting room door was pushed open, and Principal Hu Guoyou and Professor Gong Lee entered together. They first apologized to everyone for the wait. Then, upon seeing Xue Yang sitting in the Student Council President’s seat, they both paused for a moment.
Before they could speak, Xue Yang stood up and greeted them. "Hello, Principal. Hello, Teacher Gong."
"Why are you here?" Professor Gong Lee asked, looking puzzled. She didn’t recall Xue Yang being notified about this meeting.
"You’re joking, Teacher Gong," Xue Yang said with a smile. "I’m the President of the Student Council. Of course I have to attend such an important meeting."
"What I meant was, you’re so busy. You could have delegated the Spring Sports Meet to someone else."
Xue Yang glanced at Tang Zhisheng before replying, "I happen to be free lately, so I came to show my face. Otherwise, I’m afraid many people in the Student Council might forget they even have me as their president."
At the indirect mention, Tang Zhisheng flinched and ducked his head, lowering it so far it almost touched his chest. Can he please stop calling me out?
But seeing Xue Yang chatting and laughing so easily with the principal and the professor filled him with an envy he couldn’t suppress. The fact that Xue Yang’s rare appearances were apparently sanctioned by the professor made him even more sour.
When will I ever be like Xue Yang?
