A grand birthday banquet was held at home for my mother, inviting various families from the Capital City. Zhou Jinhua, the young master of the first noble family in the Capital City, had never attended such gatherings before. However, this time he unexpectedly showed up.
By the lotus pond, Zhou Jinhua finally saw me and a look of joy appeared on his face. "Chen Lan..."
I glanced at him coldly. "Zhou Young Master."
Zhou Jinhua was taken aback. "You..."
Usually, I would call him by his name, but this time I addressed him as Zhou Young Master. He clearly wasn't used to it.
"Is there something you need, Zhou Young Master?" I asked.
Zhou Jinhua frowned slightly. "When are you going back to school?"
I gave him an innocent and bright smile. "I'll go back when I'm in a good mood."
With that, I turned and walked away.
As I reached the corner, I looked back and found Zhou Jinhua staring blankly at the chessboard on the table. That was a game we had studied for a long time.
The next day, I received a gift from Zhou Jinhua. It was his favorite book, "Go Game Anthology." Inside was a note that read, "I will make you feel better."
Zhou Jinhua's way of resolving this matter was quite direct; he went straight to the person who had initially spread rumors about me and handed them a lawyer's letter. To my surprise, the one who spread the false rumors was Zeng Jia's roommate. She was so frightened that she didn't know what to do.
She went to find Zeng Jia, hoping that Zeng Jia could help her. In the end, Zeng Jia publicly apologized, and the storm calmed down; the rumors at school gradually disappeared.
I received a WeChat message from Zhou Jinhua: "Can you go back to school now?"
I was too lazy to answer his question and instead started chatting about random things.
"Have you seen the kittens? I just passed by my neighbor's house and saw some kittens; they are so cute."
"The weather is nice today."
...
We chatted about some trivial topics across the screen, yet it felt like we were closing the distance between us.
When I returned to school, the election for the Student Council President officially began.
I and Zeng Jia became the final candidates.
"Zhou Jinhua, who are you going to vote for?" I asked deliberately.
Without thinking, Zhou Jinhua replied, "Of course, it's you."
I shook my head, "Vote for Zeng Jia."
Zhou Jinhua was taken aback, "Why?"
I smiled, "Just vote for her."
Zeng Jia saw our interaction and scoffed softly, saying, "Chen Lan, you're humiliating yourself."
I looked at her and smiled slightly, "Zeng Jia, it's too early to say that you're humiliating yourself."
I remained silent with a smile as the results of the Student Council President election came out—it was me.
After becoming president, my days became busy.
Those who had been watching me from the sidelines slowly began to trust me.
As for Zeng Jia, she was originally supposed to be the vice president.
However, she chose to go to the Arts Department and even became the Head of the Arts Department.
I didn't oppose it; I was just a bit curious.
As far as I know, Zeng Jia doesn't have any particular talents. However, the Arts Department is clearly a place to showcase talents. During the arts performance in Nanhai, Zeng Jia won everyone's admiration with a piano piece. At the moment she performed, she resembled a princess, captivating everyone's attention, including Zhou Jinhua's. I had never seen Zhou Jinhua look so amazed; his eyes were wide open, staring at Zeng Jia without blinking. It turns out this was the reason she became Head of the Arts Department. When the piece ended, the applause was thunderous. Zhou Jinhua was the first to rush up and present flowers to Zeng Jia.
